What are the most neutral cans that you guys own. What is regarded as the "most neutral" out there now?

By neutral, i mean the cans themselves dont favor bass/mids/highs...they are all balanced and blend with each other.

Right now, i feel my iGrados lean more towards the bass side of music, while the k501's are probably the most "neutral" thing i have, with a slight emphasis on the middle/high end of things, but not much

Between my 701, 650 and RS1 I'd have to say the 701 is the most neuteral, with that being said its probably the one that gets listened to the least.

In the mornings and mid day I tend to go with the RS1 but after about 10pm I'm usually listening to the 650s.

Sennheiser HD280 Pro. Absolutely nothing is "colored" - there's also no bass.

To my ears, the Grado HP-1 is the most neutral.

Fostex T40 (Mk1)

Stax Lambda Signature

Why are you asking this while at the same time asking about marriage in the Member's Lounge?

The latter does tend to cancel the former.

He has to get them now, or he won't ever be able to...

kinda drifted out there...my mind works wierd sometimes

back to the question at hand!!

 

[troymadison]

hd650 for sure

 

[PFKMan23]

K1000 or the K701

 

[ex0du5]

HD650 is way too bassy to sound neutral to me.

 

[daltonlanny]

AKG K701 or Sennheiser HD600 to my ears
Stax Lambda Signatures were too recessed in the lower mids and etched in the highs to be neutral to my ears.
The Grado HP-1's were almost dead neutral to my ears, except they had no extreme top-end [above 9khz] in my opinion.

HE90

 

[spritzer]

Stax SR-007. I would never call the He90 and the Lambda Signature neutral because they both have a very definitive sound signature.

um..isn't the only way to tell if your cans are truly neutral by being at the actual playing/recording of the original music, then listening to the music through your headphones? to know what neutral is you have to first know what it originally sounded like live...right?
