Great explanation, thank you!

Really enjoyed these games when they came out. Recently replayed the first two on the Switch they really hold up well.

I tried the XM4s for about two weeks and ended up returning them for similar reasons. Found the bass to be way too overpowering and muddy. Had a similar experience with the Meze 99 Neo as well.

Yup. Upgraded to a Micron 2 TB SSD that I purchased from BLT. I went the cloning route, using a Clonezilla live USB image. No issues with anything.
