I would disagree on the mids but there is a point in the treble or upper mids depending on how you interpret the mid frequency cutoff, where it kind of dips. But I would not called it veiled, even calling it dark would be exaggerating.
I agree it could use more sparkle but it definitely does not roll off in the higher end.
I would also agree that it does sound relaxed whereas I mentioned the clears are intense sometimes too much so. Its just a different flavor, sometimes you just want relaxed listening, sometimes you want more exciting.
I think they compliment each other in a collection well. I've trimmed down my headphone collection to basically just the clear and d7200.
You can enjoy both, just not at the same time.
As far as the soundstage, I think it has excellent soundstage for a closed back, it has more stage than the clear which is an open back. Yes there are headphones with more stage but the d7200s are up there.
I took my d7200s to canjam so I could A/B compare to everything that was there. I know it may seem like I'd be biased because I own them, but I'm not that type of person. If something is better or worse, I'll readily admit it. I'm only concerned with the truth.
