Frequency response means quantity, measured in dB, or at least "relative" quantity (that is to say response for a particular frequency in contrast to other frequencies for the same headphones, or other headphones if testing conditions are similar).
In most cases this isn't true, in only a few I would agree. I was only curious to know what that users definition or thoughts on it were as they didn't make sense to me based on what I knew FR to mean. Usually, the wider the range listed, the closer it will be to a natural or neutral signature, the more narrow the more warm but a few of us have said its not always true. I guess that was the point I was trying to make, due to the very wider FR of the DT 1350 it would more than likely imply its neutral, cold, or natural in coloration, definitely not warm. Such a high responsiveness to the highs will offset any hint of warmth.

Actually, swbf2cheater, it could be the fact that I've never really heard an especially warm headphone that makes me feel the DT1350s are warmer then you might think. I'm a Beyer fanboy (and it's where most of my extended listening experience lies), so I find the 1350s warmer than the 770s, 880s and 990s.
My experience with headphones is lacking considerably when compared to the majority of members here - my voyage is still beginning. That said, when I listen to female vocals, acoustic music, symphonic orchestra, even ensemble jazz, the 1350s come off on the warm side of neutral. I don't think I would ever want to own a headphone you consider warm if the 1350s come off as sterile to your ears. Hmmmm..... Some things to think about.
Heh! Well, having owned all of them I can safely say none of the beyers are warm and are somewhere between neutral and cold. thats really the house sound of beyer, they are not known for warm sound. Right now, I am having a really hard time judging anything on my 1350. As I said coming off the LCD2 and Edition 8, my dt 1350 sounds completely busted. But after about 15 minutes of use my ears forget how the lcd2 sounded and start to pick feel the sound of the beyer 1350 is very nice. It is a hard situation for me to say anything further about it, again the more i use the higher end sets the more broken all my other gear sounds.
I do not think they are broken of course, most of them are new
but you get where I am coming from. Its scary to me and the thought lingers in the back of my head at all times now "did they break or get scared when the lcd2 arrived? Just randomly broke inside their case as soon as the other hifi set entered my house?"
My 1350 is not the type of set i want for portability. Physically, its awesome for portable needs, but the sound is as everyone says "just of a higher quality" but that does not mean fun. I was hoping it would be a highly engaging set but its rather smooth and lacking enough bass to make me happy. Still great though, just not my cup of tea for portable needs
