Thankyou fearless
Does the DT150 have a soft treble and a warm lush sound?

I listen with my ears not my eyes.
No need for that tone, go look at mesurements, I'll be enjoying music.
I do like that look though. Its functional.
Many reviewers seem to have got the impression that most if not all of the Beyer range has a treble that some will be unable to tolerate.
I played the 940s last night and I mean really quietly but I now have sore ears (I have Hyperacusis)
So my ears are about as sensitive as possible.
Please remember I can only listen at the quietest volumes (like only just audible) so that's the state the headphone will be operating in. Much lower volume than the average user.
So for example the 1540 might be great for this situation because its describing as sounding best at lower volumes.
Vocals I think when they lack body, they lose emotion and the further back they are the less texture they have. I find that unacceptable for my uses but I'm very vocal oriented, They do vocals fine, just not great.
If anyone is like me and want vocals to stand out, sing to you with beautiful emotion and sound so real and seductive then it's the wrong headphone.
Mids need to be more forward. It's slightly grainy sounding which bothered me personally. I don't want ot make it sound like I'm bashng it because I'm not, it's a good headphone just not for this purpose and I can't see anyone serious about vocals picking one up. If anyone likes the vocals then fantastic but once you hear real vocal headphones, K501,LCD2,HD650,HE400i it ruins a lot of headphones for you
At low volumes it balances itself out a bit more but it's still not a present enough sound for vocals. The W1000x sounds good at low volumes, great and has better mids that stand out with good texture. I found it a better sounding headphone than the 1540 but I prefer the 1540's bass and comfort.
DT770 is good, it's more fun than the 1540 with a larger soundstage but it doesn't have the refinement and detail the 1540 has. They are not worlds apart from there is a difference. Vocals on the 770 have a nice tone but they lack presence with that big soft bass.
