Koss markets these as “flat,” and I keep reading reviews where half the folks don’t think they are flat, and the other half thinks they are. Anyone have studio experience with truly flat headphones?-How do these compare?
Milk-and-CoffeeThese have a great mid to top end of low bass. The bottom low end would be little challenging. Although you'll hear it, but it won't be as pleasing as some bassy headphones. I have had flat headphones [hd 598s ahm ahm], these offer a way better listening experience for the price in every manner for anything available for sub 200 bucks. On top, these are very good on picking up minute details. Once you pick the right volume [neither too high, nor too low] they will definitely please you. That said, the audio source matters. They scale well with good equipment and audio source, which is unlike most others. If you are planning, I will also suggest replacing the cable with a better quality straight cable.
