Re: [LAU] headphones

i know that all of the headphones mentioned here are great quality
etc, but which ones do you people think are the most accurate *flat*

top end a bit, but which ones are the closest to a perfect flat
response? ie bass levels not boosted or attenuated, not exaggerated
mids etc?

thanks
