If you want to amplify spatial information, I found up to 4 dB boost around 4 kHz, Q factor around 1, can really make a headphone soundstage shine. It is noticeable but it has worked for me on headphones that need it.
They were designed for stereo. The new S5X were designed with binaural mixing in mind. That being said the S5X still work great in stereo, so if you want to have the option for the future then you could certainly go that route, but if you know you’re going to do stereo only for awhile, save the money and get the S4X.
Great segment, man! Definitely an issue perceiving height channels in headphones. I'll probably grab a pair of the 5's next year. Cheers!
Now you know! 👊🏾

Nice tip! Will definitely give that a shot.
Excellent
