Hey all!

I am a Beyerdynamics fanatic and i currently own DT880, DT990 and also the ATH-m50x, i compose music in my studio and i have an acoustically treated room and that is the sound that i am used to.

I had the Beyer Custom Street headphones which died on me and what i loved about them is that they did not have a ton of boosted frequencies in the low end and they could not fool me when i listened to my mixes outside they would help me determine make decisions about the low end of my mix.

So now i am looking for the flattest earphones possible, preferably portable if possible, i dislike the "Smiley" curve earphones (My DT990, DT880, ATH-m50x) that cut the mids and fool you into a round sound.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

You might check out an NAD HP50 and see what you think. I also like the AKG K550/553 for your musical purposes, but they are not that portable.

If you can live with little Isolation the Sony EX800ST are an option - they are designed as monitor IEMs. Excellent bass quality, very flat frequency response up to 1kHz. Is perceived as warm though

JVC HA-FD02 with a simple mod (to lower the 3-5kHz hump) have better timbre, are a bit brighter, very natural sounding, IMO very balanced and accurate. Excellent dynamics. Get better with Nobunaga Yuuzen cable.

Both around 200 from Amazon JP

A budget option could be the Final Audio E2000. Only listened to it briefly but it‘s natural and balanced sound stood out for me compared to the mainstream IEMs

Thank you for the additional suggestions but i don't really like in-ear earphones.
