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.

HD560S + EQ.

Once EQ is factored in, I find the biggest differentiators are comfort, soundstage, imaging and bass extension. The HD560S does really well on all those and that's why I love it. My LCD-X does well too, except on comfort. So I often prefer to use the 560S.

Do you mind sharing your EQ preset for the 560S ?

I use a slightly tweaked version of Resolve's B&K 5128 EQ:

Preamp: -4 dB

Filter 2: ON PK Fc 21 Hz Gain 4 dB Q 1.6

Filter 5: ON PK Fc 1000 Hz Gain -1 dB Q 2

Filter 6: ON PK Fc 1164 Hz Gain -1.5 dB Q 1.41

Filter 7: ON PK Fc 3000 Hz Gain 0.5 dB Q 1.41

Filter 8: ON PK Fc 4300 Hz Gain -1.5 dB Q 3.5

Filter 9: ON PK Fc 5640 Hz Gain -2 dB Q 1.41

Filter 10: ON PK Fc 9440 Hz Gain -2.5 dB Q 5

Filter 11: ON PK Fc 5850 Hz Gain -1.5 dB Q 4

Filter 12: ON PK Fc 8420 Hz Gain -2.5 dB Q 3
