Is the ROSESELSA Distant Mountain right for you?
Buy it if
- you are happy to use EQ: our preset lifts its Harman match by about 23 points.
Skip it if
- you want more bass (about 5 dB below target).
- you need isolation or will use it in public: open-back headphones leak sound both ways.
- you want the best value: the higher-rated Superlux HD 660 Pro 150 Ohm costs about $22 less.

Frequency Response
How the ROSESELSA Distant Mountain measures across the audible range, against the Harman over-ear target that most listeners prefer in blind tests. Where the line sits above the target that range sounds louder (more bass, brighter treble), below it quieter. The curve is the median of 3 independent measurements, so one odd sample or rig cannot skew it, and both lines are shifted so their 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
Measurement data: median of 3 measurements from the squig.link databases of auricularesargentina, elrics and suporsalad. Thanks to each of them for publishing their work.
