All I care about is whether my reference headphones are unhyped. These are that, and so far, I am loving them.
I am a mixing and mastering engineer by trade for what it's worth. Happy with my investment.
mrhallmanSteve, I use headphones as one of six different referencing systems in mixing and mastering. These and my Grado RS2 headphones sound the closest to my studio monitors and have actually uncovered some things I missed.
