I love Senn HD-25. That's all so far

Except for my HD 280 Pro which I sold, and my HD 555, I am keeping all my other cans, even when I do get higher end ones. When I get the T1, the Hd 650 will be for movies and gaming. They all serve slightly different purposes.

True, the DT531 is one of the most musical HPs out there. If it just wasn't so low res...The HD600 has the same musical bandwidth and much better "abilities", but unfortunally, it isn't as exciting (by far)

For me, the MS1. 1st contact back in early 2006, afterwards I had to get rid of my DT770 quickly. Changing to the MS Pro (= MS1 in high res) later is principally taking a bow (of? before? damn...

) the MS1.

For the latter, some colouration isn't a bad thing. Additionally, a voice you hear straight from the mouth isn't altered by electronic processing. If you wish to produce with accuracy what people hear everyday, day in, day out and wish to monitor that reproduction with accuracy, then it would seem to me that you'd need specialised cans for that purpose. Many modern instruments are electronic and you're hearing them from amps and speakers anyway... so they're potentially already coloured and altered.

Then you might want to look at the DT48a.. They are specialized headphones for reserach, etc.. Color isn't bad, but un colored headphones, or as close as you can get, are needed for film, communications, testing etc..

The DT48 was made for aural acustic investigations, so they do acoustic & un amped instruments extremly well.. Amped instrument still sound good, just not as good as un amped instruments..
