Nice. These are enormously comfortable. A tad brighter than the DT880, and generally an improvement. Very easy to EQ!

Hey oratory I recently got the NDH30 and I’m loving it so far. But I’m also curious about the DT900x and HD560s. Would be great to hear your thoughts on them.

they're all open-back. Out of the box I prefer the HD560S, they come the closest to what I consider neutral sound, at least out of those three. But when using them with EQ, those differences become miniscule.
However in terms of comfort, the NDH30 and DT900X both beat it, the HD5xx-shape just doesn't completely fit my head.

I’m sorry I just realized I missed your reply. Funny you mentioned about comfort because after using the NDH30 about a month now. I find that while they sound awesome, I would get hotspot on top of my head after wearing them for a couple of hours. Is there a headphone that is lighter than the NDH30 but perform similarly? I particularly like its sub-bass extension, its ability to separate instruments very clearly, and its natural tonality. I also have the HD600, while I like its tonality, it lacks in the sub-bass and instrument separations compared to the NDH30 imo. I’m kind of interested in trying the HD560s after what you said. Would you say I’ll like the HD560s? Do you have any other recommendations? Headphones I’ve tried so far are M50s, X2, HD600, Q701, DT990, HD700, TYGR, HD660s, NDH30. Thanks in advance!

HD560S :) (in terms of bass extension. It's quite a bit brighter than the NDH30 at the top, which in this case is a good thing since that's where the NDH30 is lacking)

Sounds good. I’ll pick up a pair and see if it can replace the Neumann for me or not. Thanks a lot!
