#333 Austrian Audio The Arranger: $1,299.00 HeadAmp $1,299.00 eBay
Pros: The open back delivers a spacious presentation, and the 25 ohm impedance with 110 dB SPL/V sensitivity means it gets loud from a phone or laptop without a dedicated amp. Bass stays within 6 dB of target down to 20 Hz, which suits listeners who like a warm, full low end. At 320 g it is a moderate weight for a full-size open headphone.
Cons: In the median of 3 hobbyist measurements on squig.link it scores just 58 for preference, with bass about 5 dB and low mids nearly 4 dB above target, so the sound turns thick and muddy on dense mixes. A 5.6 dB peak near 5.4 kHz next to an 8.5 dB dip near 9.2 kHz makes the treble uneven, adding edge to some vocals while dimming cymbals. Being open backed, it leaks sound and blocks almost no outside noise.
