Depending on what you want to pair with it and how much portability you need. For full-size phones, I feel the Neco Soundlab Portable V3 (listed here:...

As I recalled with my HD600 (older version, had them for just a short while though) I won't say they have rolled off treble. It's just the way they deliver it that makes it 'seem' rolled off. The treble and probably any detail in the...
