Thanks for the tip. I also have the Sonys. Anyone who thinks they sound great needs a hearing test. Not a patch on my 2 favourites, Sennheiser HD-25 (or any €100+ Sennheiser for that matter) and Beyer Dynamic DT-990 Pro (great home listening and mixing headphone). Even after tuning the Sonys to correct their flaws they still sound tiring. Will check out the settings you recommend.

The DT-990 are not bad. The treble is a little overemphasized. The easy bass is also a bit emphasized, but then they give up on the deep bass (start dropping below 50 Hz). Still good headphones, two classes above the uncorrected Sony NC. With proper corrections based on objective measurements, any headphones can sound neutral and balanced.

  What you're hearing in the DT-990 is the open back. I'm not sure on your assessment regarding any headphone. you'll never get the noise cancelling ones sounding good because there are 2 processes affecting the sound. Also the hardware itself needs to be capable.

    > What you're hearing in the DT-990 is the open back. That's just an audiophile meme, there's no reality to it. > you'll never get the noise cancelling ones sounding good because there are 2 processes affecting the sound That's so wrong I'm not even sure where to begin refuting it. Seems like you're picking a lot of audiophile mythology along the way.
