I said nothing about your preferences, that was the generic "you".
My point is good headphones are neutral and versatile enough that they can do both, just like a good screen can make all sorts of different pictures look good.
It's about versatility and quality in different dimensions, and headphones/speaker that impart too much color to music tend to be very one-dimensional which would limit what you can do with them.
People like the sound they get with these headphones, accurate or not. That isn't a personal failing.
