I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the Sony MDR-M1ST?

I purchased these a few months ago and I've still got them. I should mentioned I have never tried any of Sony's other studio monitors, I'm also not an audio professional.

I really love the M1ST, they have become one of my favorite portable headphones of all time.

For reference, some headphones I've recently had pass through my hands are,

M50x
Sony MDR 1am2
B&O H6
Oppo PM3
M&D M40
Audeze Sine
Shure SRH1540
Sennheiser HD600
Sony z7m2

For my personal tastes I found the M1st to be superior to all the above except for the last 3 listed which are hard to beat due to their size.

M1st can be described in my opinion as a warm lower mid centric detailed sound. layering is exceptional, sub bass a little rolled off, upper treble a little rolled off, male vocals come across as very clear and powerful, the sound is very organic and effortless, the overall sound can still be fairly close to what might be perceived as a flat response even considering the small colorations I've mentioned.

I'm not an expert, please just consider this my own personal opinion.
