SeekerBeyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO
The Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO are great for neutral sound. Using their 'Balanced' ear pads, they have an excited sound that delivers extra warmth to mixes while vocals and instruments are clear and present in mixes. That said, sibilants like cymbals are piercing and painful. That said, some users may prefer this sound as it can help highlight imperfections in mixes. You can even swap out these pads for the 'Analytical' ones, which lower the amount of boom in mixes, but ensure the brightness of sibilants. Thanks to their open-back design, they're also able to create an immersive soundstage.
