MSR7 has emphasized highs therefore it is not my taste while listening electronic genre by default. I use custom EQ reducing gain of high freq. in such case. Additionally, LG V20 has ESS DAC and I would recomend to read something about LG V20 sound signature first. ESS has usually highs glare, if it is not properly reduced by device (phone, DAP,...) itself. Please look for measurement of MSR7 and MSR7NC active/passive on innerfidelity. You can see, that NC is not night and day, especially on low freq. I guess, that bus ride produce mainly low freq. noise and if your HP are not efficient to remove such noise, it is mixed together with your music. This makes listening slightly flat. I didnt hear MSR7NC active, but MSR7 and MSR7NC passive sounds same (sound signature). All innerfidelity measurements seems to be very similar. NC of MSR7NC is not as good as Bose or Etymonics. I dont know how much is output impedance of V20 HP output, but 10 Ohms output impedance of source unequally changes final (MSR7) freq. char. inside 2dB.
Thanks for your input.
Well I'm not sold yet on the MSR7, so if you have any others recommendations for an all around HP that could fit my desctiption, I would appriciate it.
