What headphones would you like Amir to measure next?

Philips Fidelio L3 (L3/00) [product page] - relatively recent model, bluetooth with Apt-X HD capability, no measurement reviews yet, some casual one says "Seriously sophisticated sound".. Well I am skeptical with such subjective statements, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had smoother FR out of box than Sony WH-1000XM4 (so much praised in wireless rankings)

edit 2021-01-06:
price Amazon US: $345.45
price Amazon DE: 199,00€ (deal)

Sennheiser HD 250BT

recent model, went surprisingly low with price (currently 2021/01 ~$40 US / €40 EU)

EDIT 2022/03 - found a measurement by Crinacle, seems like they feature a nasty dip at 3700Hz or so..

Would be curious how Amir and others would subjectively like this one https://www.soundstagesolo.com/index.php/equipment/headphones/315-apos-audio-caspian-headphones because of their different target approach in the 1-3 kHz region https://www.soundstagesolo.com/index.php/features/318-are-there-valid-objections-to-the-harman-curve

I have the Monoprice M1060 and really like it. Even without EQ it sounds great. With EQ, it's one of the best in my collection. I've gone back and forth between them and the Aeon RT (Closed) and the M1060 holds its own. They're the 2nd generation version with ZMF ear pads, pilot pad, and a balanced cable. If there's a queue system, I can part with them for a couple of days. I'm local if that helps! I'd love to see the measurements.

The DIY Borealis clone. I am about to build one so I would be fine sending it to Amir for a review.

Would love to see some Sivga SV021 (Robin) measurements!

After a couple years of this and half a dozen headphones sitting on my desk, I don't even care what they measure at. These things are a hell of a lot of fun. Ain't flat, ain't perfect, but neither is my girlfriend.

Hifiman Edition XS has the most buzz right now. It would be a popular review.

Shure 1540 & 940 (& Dt 700 PRO X)

No, please, no. I have just bought Sundara on the basis of the reviews and discussion, and decided against the Edition on the basis of less informed reviews + extra cost!
