DISCLAIMER: I like a fairly balanced sound. The upper highs can be rolled off slightly, but I need to have strong mids and deep, tight bass. This is why I don't listen to the DT770/80 Pro much anymore. Their recessed mids just don't sound that good to my ears. My headphone and amp comments will always be colored by my sound preferences.

I'm really glad I came across this thread! Now I can finally translate my listening experience into the right words.

I propose that you add the term "eargasm" to the list.

Great thread.
I was just joking about "Fart Cannon."

xx vote sticky.
I don't think a thread to explain CDP, DAC... as many other threads are directly focused on the subject. However, I made a small search and NO thread treats directly of general appreciation terms relating to sound.
