I got 4/6, missing on the last two. Interestingly, I picked 128kbps for those, and they were more "pop"-y songs. Maybe I'm trained to like some more compression

I got 4/6, missing on the last two. Interestingly, I picked 128kbps for those, and they were more "pop"-y songs. Maybe I'm trained to like some more compression on pop songs?
I was also listening on my work setup, which isn't ideal: Bose QC35s plugged into an O2 amp and D50 DAC. I'd like to think I would've gotten more right with some flatter headphones.
The main things I noticed when comparing were:
* low end was smoother on the bass
* clarity of high end hits ("pss/tss" sounds)
* some vague sense of better imaging, like the sound stage was better
I didn't notice much difference in the midrange or vocals, but that might be because of the gigantic V-shape of my headphones.
