Over-Ear Headphones
Ranked #8 of 134 in Over-Ear Headphones - Austrian Audio Hi-X60: $303.69 Amazon eBay
Pros: A preference score of 91 comes from a response within about 1.7 dB of the Harman target, with sub-bass 1.4 dB and bass 1.0 dB above target for a full, slightly warm foundation. At 25 ohms and 110 dB SPL/V it plays loudly from a phone, and the closed back isolates from outside noise. The 320 g weight is moderate.
Cons: There is a 3.9 dB dip near 2 kHz, which can pull some vocals and snare detail slightly back, and a 3.1 dB peak near 5.6 kHz adds a touch of edge. It has no built-in microphone, unlike the Beyerdynamic MMX 300, so it is less suited to calls and gaming.

Ranked #58 of 134 in Over-Ear Headphones - Austrian Audio Hi-X65: $295.36 Amazon eBay
Pros: The open back response is bright and airy, with presence and treble about 1.5 to 1.7 dB above target and the top octave about 3 dB above, which brings out detail and space in recordings. Bass from 60 to 200 Hz is on target, so it avoids bloat. It is very easy to drive at 25 ohms and 110 dB SPL per volt, it weighs 310 g and it ties the Sony MDR-MV1 on rating.
Cons: This is the least smooth model in this group, with a deviation of 2.8 dB. The low mids are about 3.4 dB above target while upper mids are 1.9 dB below, and a 5.1 dB dip near 1.7 kHz recesses vocals and a 5 dB peak near 5.9 kHz adds edge. Sub-bass is about 3.7 dB light under 60 Hz, and the open back leaks sound.
