What does that even mean? Do you perhaps want neutral sound?
If so, then what exactly is neutral?
Diffuse field neutral? Harman neutral? Optimium HiFi neutral? Audeze LCD neutral?
Thats a really loaded question in headphone land.
Get something like the Sennheiser HD 560S and use EQ to tune them to your prefered sound. They are easy to drive and should take EQ well enough.

Any pair of meze's except the 109s. Got popular pretty fast and somewhat late. Although I also got a bit of the Koss situation 😅

Reply to EQ target for Classical Music by Better_Box_2787
"flat" and "neutral" are 2 different things.
Classical music are acoustical instruments and most of them are in the mid range.
A headphone with a V-shaped frequency response I do think totally unsuited for classical. The thundering bass masks the midrange. That piercing treble you won't find in real life. Go to a concert hall and listen to a symphony orchestra. Notice that you can hear contra bass and kettle drums but also note the level is low. Like wise a Steinway. Very big but very soft on the bass.
Basically, use EQ to tune your headphone to obtain a neutral response.
What is neutral? Often the Harman or the Sennheiser response is mentioned. Harman did some excellent research. They even found out who didn't like their curve. Bass heads think the bass to soft. Woman think the bass to loud and people over 50 think so to.
Evidently, it is a preference. https://audiosolace.com/harman-target-curve-explained/
Best you can do is calibrating your hearing. Visit live performances, preferably in a hall with good acoustics. This wil be your reference.
My practice is a sober one. Using Etymotic ER4P I boost the 100 Hz band with2-3 dB. Using HD800 I do exactly the opposite.

Yeah, and i suspect they're drawing wrong conclusions from that data point.
As in; correlation does not always equal causation, i.e. listening to music for hours on end is more likely one possible symptom of depression, and not causing depression directly.
(but i dunno, maybe one broods over radiohead for longer than is healthy and develops a depressive mood 🤷)

I don't know about "easy." You could try EQ'ing whatever you currently have by ear but that takes a lot of experience and practice. It helps to have a "711" coupler to make measurements. REW helps with modeling. I've EQ'd the $10 Panasonic RP-HJE125 to it for the most part. I've EQ'd the Soundcore Sport X10 to being pretty close. EQing 3KHz+ must be done by ear since it is not accurately measured by coupler and is anatomy and insertion depth dependent. Might take you 20+ bands but it CAN be done.

Also.. I went to a business trip to the US like 5 years ago and watched a movie in the hotel I started at...... Strangest movie I've ever seen, wish I knew what it was called.
It starts where a guy shows up with all his baggage at his girlfriend's house, and tells her he has finally left his wife so they can be together. She was already planning to go out that night, and they fight about that and end up fighting and talking for like an hour, until they tend up having sex on camera.
Then the last days "don't tell any other clients we did it without a condom", and the guy is like "sure thing, oh, and I guess I have to return all that baggage to good will. See you next week".
So... It was all some sort of super extended prostitute role play?!
This was on the regular channel, not some porn channel?

Hmm traveling this week across the country by bicycle I've stopped here and there at net cafes to rest up, and a few days ago I tried to watch some of the free movies.... Both what I guess you would call soft porn? Maybe? One was about a female truck driver, of all things.
Already I suppose they must make headphones tuned for erm.. human voice.

The 6XX is truly amazing for its price and it can be modded to get many different sound profiles out of it too and EQ does the rest.

Yeah funny thing is I actually did this by unscrewing the arms of my reading glasses and attaching the lenses to the headband from my snowboarding goggles. Works like a damn charm. So comfortable. Only thing is it looks kinda funny, but I don’t really care when I’m doing computer work.

I'm reminded of this one time a roommate sat the rest of us roommates down, and was, like, "let's watch movie together", and after some poking around on Netflix, he found one he thought sounded interesting, so he started it, and about five minutes in, everybody but him was, like, "Dude, what is this, porn?" And he was, like, "No way! It's on Netflix! Let's just keep watching and see where it goes."
About five more minutes in, it was hilariously obvious that it was a soft-core porn flick. We bailed, and he, for once in his life, admitted he was wrong.
For a while, the rest of us were, like, "Hey, rememeber that time you tried to get us to watch porn with you on Netflix?"

I had an idea a while back for making some kind of goggles/visor style glasses with a fabric loop which should allow for a great seal without compromising the seal (in theory).
Someone should do this for real tho
