So, you do feel that Dutch is different from English (or, say, German) in this respect, without any instrumental phonetics? I know that the difference of Russian voiceless stops from English ones is very prominent for my Russian ear; but OTOH, initial voicedness isn't subject to any important dialectal variation within the East Slavic continuum, compared to the Dutch - Low German one...
