Interesting though also the comment of @solderdude:

Still not a great hi-fi headphone to me… BUT a very tonally accurate headphone with a dynamic and realistic sound. Just lacking somewhat in the treble finesse.
Again here most noticeable in pop music and music with lots of instruments. The instruments get ‘smeared’ a little and aren’t as nicely ‘separated’ from each other in these recordings. No real complaints when very few and well recorded music is played.

I made a scan of the measured response of DT150 in the article of 2003.

Yes they are quite similar. The DT150 ranked subjectively a bit poor due to excess bass. But with the DT100 pads they transform from acceptable to excellent, IMO. Bass gets reduced and treble somewhat smoother. This is clear from Solderdudes measurements as well.

Good recommendation! Would love to see a comparison review

The Aeon 2 Noire looks to be right on the Harmon curve, I'd love to see those tested...I'd pull the trigger on them, but not before I've seen the measurements....

The HD 560S looks pretty close to the Harman curve at 1/3 the price of the Aeon, I'd like to see that reviewed as well...if the review is good, it would be hard to justify the Aeon

Sounds good...So, might we all benefit/learn if 'all' the HFM $200 or so were comparably measured?
HE5XX
HE4XX
HE400i 2020
Deva (wired)
Sundara (yes, it's $349. But sure would be interesting to 'see what you get' vs. the others..)
Another +1 for Hifiman Sundara headphones.
Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250 ohm
Another +1 for AKG 702 headphones

Meze 99 Classics. Everyone knows they're warm and bassy. But just how much? I would love to see the measurements to know. Thanks!
