I'm a fairly recent convert to audiophilia but a long time music fan, also aspiring to be a reasonably inept drummer in my spare time. I listen to at least 2 hours of music a day – generally prefer IEMs for out and about, and a large pair of headphones when I have the house to myself and a glass in my hand. I have a most of my library to FLAC and 320kbps MP3, and do my other listening other listening through Tidal HiFi. I am a fan of rock, acoustic (apart from folk) and sarcasm. Oh yeah, and a small amount of electronica. Not a basshead, but I do love a sound with some body to it. My ideal tuning for most IEMs and headphones tends towards a musical and slightly dark presentation, although I am not treble sensitive in general. Please take all views expressed in my posts with a pinch of salt – all my reviews are a work in progress based on my own perceptions and personal preferences, and your own ears may tell you a different story.

Very nice! I recently spent some extended time with these headphones, mostly focusing on the performance of the internal amplifier. Although they do scale with the quality of amplification, the built in amp is amazingly good for the size. For reference, I compared the built in amp (hidden in the cans) with a 30lbs tube behemoth and found pretty subtle improvements with the big desktop hog. Of course subtle improvements are part of the audiophile hobby, but I wouldn’t be ashamed to use the built-in amp on the go or in a pinch.
