IMO DT1350 is forward... Custom One is bit back than 1350 tho.
Yo,
Ridiculous! They have very forward mids, maybe as forward as the HD600.
I just ordered a pair. I have been waiting to try Beyerdynamic for some time now.... took the plunge.
CantScareMe - May I know the reason? Just curious after having put in my order..
This is what concerned me (as I was debating between this and a DT770):

Running it through Google translate (with some obvious errors in translation):
Surprisingly sounds of Custom One Pro is not so "typical beyer" as the sisters do from the very same home. Unlike the DT models has our subject not to the usually high-frequency characteristic peak. The treble roll off even very easy, therefore, lie in the background. On the one hand this makes the Custom One Pro to a more relaxed listener who is never annoying, on the other hand, unfortunately, something that slows the airiness in the treble, which makes him seem a little more sober. Overall, our test model appears not as a fine resolution in the treble as compared expensive headphones.
Well that's certainly nice to hear! I hate recessed mids, mids is where music is at and gives it substance, nuff said. Having said that I also want my thump, difficult to get good performance for both usually. Would you say it's more subbass skewed like DT770 with soft rumbly bass or does it also have a good amount midbass & impact?
It sounds more like sub-bass, the rumble is definitely there but only when required. I feel the DT1350 has more focused bass, with more impact. The Ultrasone HFI-780 also has impact similar to the DT1350.
I was originally playing through my Zune. I just tried it with the Xonar STX -> Mids become more clear, forward, bass is tighter, however I find the treble at times piercing with the STX. It may be because these headphones are fresh out the box; they may need time to settle....if you believe in that sort of thing.
First impressions:
The Mids are NOT recessed at all! Nice, up front, similar to the DT1350. I'm so relieved about this! Both the DT1350 and Custom Pro make the Pro900 sound artificial. The Mids on the Pro900 are so strained, like the vocalist is being strangled. Music sounds utterly fake on the Pro900.
The Bass:
The slider absolutely works. I'm testing with the song "My Life" by The Game.
Setting 1: No bass at all.
Setting 2: Mild bass, vocals quite strong
Setting 3: Bass similar to the DT1350; the best balance for mids, treble and bass. My preferred choice.
Setting 4: Too much bass, vocals take a hit.
That's all for tonight. I'm very pleased thus far.
Very nice impression Bloodflowerz! Thank you.
Also when you say setting 1: No Bass at all do you really mean no bass at all???
Also how would you rank the treble vs the DT1350?
Hey nice impressions so far bloodflowerz! If you can comment on isolation for portable use, tonality (naturalism or realism of instruments), and imaging that would be very much appreciated. It's surprising to hear about the mids actually not being recessed - the guy who reviewed these on headfonia said the mids on the M50s were better.
Thanks for the response, very helpful! And I agree about how we all hear differently indeed.
