    HD 558s sound bloated and really bad?

    Hi, I just got a pair of Sennheiser HD 558s today. Open the box, connect to my phone, put music on...and it sounds really bad. Not the “I don’t like the range” or “I wish there was more bass” kind of bad. The sound is hard to describe, but it’s bloated, distant, washed out. Gaming is even worse...
