BOSE vs ZULU - broad spectrum response? Clipping?

Years ago in my T337 with another pilot,
we tried swapping my BOSE 10 (yes) with the original ZULU headset.

At that time
the zulu feedback circuits would start clipping on takeoff.
I later tried the next version of BOSE and heard similar clipping.
Maybe supersonic tip speeds driving circuits to limit of dynamic range?

Not the end of the world, but...

The other thing I recall was
BOSE had noticeably better full spectrum response
like a high quality stereo headset.

ZULU seemed optimized just for speech, a lot of rolloff of highs and lows from music.

As we get older (speak for yourself), maybe those high's aren't so important anymore?

Anyway, I think I've cornered the global market on original BOSE silicon replacement seals and am now running low.

A new headset move may be imminent.

QUESTION:

Has anyone tried listening to broad spectrum music (hi and low freqs) with the current offerings from BOSEA20 vs Zulu?
