for me it was and still is the meze 109 pro

it is just perfect sounding in every aspect for me. and the treble is no issue for mye anymore. it is a fun, easy driven headphone.

In the past it was the Fostex Purpleheart.
Never got one myself but a friend of mine who had them often gave it to me over some weekends. Never found anything similar in sound since today.

I demo'd some headphones at the beginning of this year and I really liked the sound of the Focal Elex. Sadly I heard a lot of bad things about their driver issues so haven't bought them.

Still searching to this day for an easy to drive headphone with good detail, a really strong bass and somewhat a balance between sparkly and a bit of laid back treble. I'm sensitive if it's a harsh treble but I still need a bit of it to make the music I am listening to sound exciting.
All the headphone that are fulfilling these criterias are simply way above my budget.
