#364 Beyerdynamic DT 240 Discontinued eBay
Pros: Bass is lifted about 3.9 dB with extension to 20 Hz, giving kick drums and bass lines extra weight. Lower mids sit within about 0.5 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Presence sits about 4.9 dB low with a 9.5 dB dip near 5.1 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite. A Harman score of 50 places it in the lower part of the over-ear rankings.
