#331 Sennheiser HD 580 precision Discontinued eBay
Pros: Upper treble lifts about 2.8 dB for extra air and sparkle. Lower mids sit within about 0.5 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. A 5.8 dB peak near 4.7 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp. Sub-bass is 14.8 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble. Treble sits about 6.7 dB low, so it sounds a little dark. A Harman score of 56 places it in the lower part of the over-ear rankings.
