Your Top 5 Smoothest-Yet-Detailed Headphones

A smooth, closed-back dynamic, hmmmm… Color me quite interested in trying Kennertons. They seem quite underground. Hidden treasures, even, perhaps :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

From most to least detailed:

Focal Clear MG (Pro)
Hifiman HE-500
Hifiman Sundara
Sennheiser HD650 (600 + 58X as well)
Koss KPH30i

Smoothest of the bunch is the 650, not surprisingly. The detail is improved with the mods I have done (ZMF suede pads + copper mass mod from Custom Cans)

for IEMs:

Final Audio E5000
Hifiman RE-400
Moondrop Kato
JVC HA-FDX1

Those last three have too much upper midrange/lower treble for me, but otherwise have really nice smooth midrange and treble. I use EQ a lot though, so it’s not a problem.
