I’ve had the hp100se for a few weeks now and I think they’re quite good. If I could change one thing I’d probably knock the brightness down a little and maybe bring some part of the mids forward. If not just knock the treble down slightly. They do not bother me but the treble can kind of stick out on certain tracks. I’m more of an average listener who’s owned some high end headphones so I don’t know all the audio terms. To me I don’t feel like these are less detailed than the zmf caldera. From memory I don’t think the lcd 5 is way more detailed than these either but I didn’t care for them because they always sounded compressed almost like they made compressed music sound worse. These things make some songs that I’ve listened to in the past have more life and sound less flat and muddy. I can see people having issues with the treble but maybe a tube amp could help. I tried the flat pads and they are a no go for me everything sounded noticeably worse. I prefer rock and metal and I think these really shine with it no matter how crappy the recording is.
