    These are the worst for mixing low end. How do i know? I used to own a pair.

    Well, there's a fair bit of subjectivity here, that's why I said A/Bing and trying them first.

    I've got mine for 10+ years I think and I find them very translatable. To each their own I guess.

    Used Dt-880 with Sonarworks for some years, now more than happy with Ultrasone 750 Pro-i WITHOUT Sonarworks, good translation , and fast transient response, lowend much better than dt-880

    I guess you can make it work, but its a struggle, the low end is cut off pretty bad. They are very clean though but only the best mixed/mastered tracks are listenable trough these.

    The frequencies in the audible range are between 20 Hz and 20 kHz (20,000 Hz). This hearing spectrum is influenced by age, occupation and gender. With age, the audibility of the upper frequencies decreases to around 12 kHz. Tones that are higher than the audible frequency range are called ultrasound, lower infrasound. Young people often hear a few kHz in the ultrasound range.
