These are so detailed that bad recordings are going to sound awful but good recordings will sing and the angels will weep.

The flat response can sometimes come across to me as shrill, but that's usually just on poorer recordings

However, I will say the overall clarity of these are so great that you want to make sure the music you are listening to is pristine and high quality (at least 16 bit) because their accuracy has a way of really making bad recordings sound bad- not the headphone's fault

Second is these really do make great recordings sound great, but harsh poor recordings are a bit of a pain

They do require well mastered recordings though because they are more than capable of exposing every flaw, especially if the flaw is at the high end of the spectrum

The Marshall Monitors and Denon AH-D600 have similar sound signatures, but with its filter in place, the Marshall headphones lack shimmer and with the filter out, it's sibilance run amok with all but the dullest recordings

My husband has a B&O pair made like these that swivel and they’ve lasted for some time

It’s also great for listening to audio books as I work outdoors.
