A warm hello to everyone! New member here.
As the title goes, I need recommendations for closed-back headphones that are close to oratory1990's target tuning, or even a little more bass if possible (+15db bass, 0 mids, +10db treble).
I don't want to use EQ because I will also be using this with my guitar multi-fx (BOSS GT-1).
When listening to music, I listen thru Shanling UA2, but I'm thinking about upgrading to Sonata E44.
In audio terms (I'll try my best), hopefully something like this exists without EQ:
bass tight and punchy, not bloated or boomy.
mids a bit gentle but not hollow, a medium amount of hardness/forwardness/brightness in the vocals with no sibilance, not piercing.
highs sweet, but a little airy & crisp.
overall sounds transparent, clear, and detailed,
with a wide, tall, and deep soundstage.
If it doesn't exist, I understand. I guess I'll just go for an IEM then, lot of options there...
I was going for the DT770 but I hate sibilance. The HD25 is uncomfortable so that was a no-no. Seeing I may be out of options for around $200, I guess I should stretch my budget to around $400. I read from a review that the M40x doesn't have a good soundstage? And the graphs seem like the bass is boomy. I like the DT770 bass more (from the graphs, haven't tried it.)
