My budget is around 4-5k, someone suggested me to wait for Sennheiser 599 to come for around 6k in deals.
But yesterday came across this Epos H3, initially got interested but there are very less reviews available and it is also termed as "gaming headset", so I'm confused if it will sound bad for music.

I don't think the HD599 comes below 9k. It can be had for 8.1k after bank discount.
So, Sennheiser have released their hearing test app on Android and iOS.

Tested out my hearing capacity and the results were quite normal (15DB on each ear). Would love to see how you guys fare.

Aren't these results dependant on the headphones/gear we use?Did you keep phone volume in middle or high?

There are so many variables in play that you can totally disregard the results.Did you keep phone volume in middle or high?

If you have doubts about your hearing loss, get a pure tone audiometry done.
No idea, i tried in both iem and open back headphone which gave same results
Agreed, it's most probably the wax in my ears

I have minor imbalance in hearing capacity between left ear and right ear, samsung adaptive sound software was able to map it frequency wise and this semnheiser app is showing the same (but the app says that my hearing capacity all together is fine, the graph stay above the hearing loss marking).
In samung phones with adaptive sound feature, when an earphone is connected there is an option to remove the imbalance between left and right ear based on the test result which was very useful for me. I wish every phone had that feature.
I agree. The hearing accessibility features in One UI are great. I also use a custom profile as well!
Even at 50% volume, when turning the dial in the app, I can actually hear the tone pop in when it becomes audible. Seems like my phone is muting the output when the sound levels generated by the app is too low.
Using the app to compare between the left and right ear is fine, but to compare with other people with so many variables governing the result is a fool's errand. I apparently have a slight imbalance, 15db in right and 16db in left.
Edit. There's also the minimum amount of energy needed to overcome the speaker diaphragm inertia, so that could be the reason behind the pop in as well.

The CRA's and Zero's are quite good aren't they? Do you use any custom EQ or stock with them.
Cheers.
Yes briefly at an event with Sennheiser IE900 and IE600.
