I even recall some old reviews attacking the DF as inferior to the M or S, which isn't the way I hear it. |

I noticed that Sennheisers are rarely used in studio. Beyerdynamic (DT100, DT150, DT250) and AKG (different species of K240 and K271) are kind of industry standard. That may talk for Sennheiser' less natural timbres. |
