#18 Beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro X: $279.99 Amazon eBay
Pros: A preference score of 88 with a warm-leaning, near neutral tilt means most of the spectrum sits close to target, with bass within 0.3 dB and treble within 0.5 dB. At 48 ohms it plays loudly from most sources and its 345 g weight is moderate. It is rated the same as the Sennheiser HD 505 and Shure SRH840 and higher than the Audio-Technica ATH-M70x.
Cons: A 9.5 dB dip near 4 kHz is the largest deviation in this group and can pull the bite out of vocals, snares and guitars. The air band above 10 kHz is about 2 dB under target and sub-bass is about 3.5 dB light, so highs lack sparkle and deep bass lacks rumble. The open back leaks sound and gives no isolation.
