The Aeon Noire are up there. They sound fantastic without an EQ, and with an EQ I can bring the mids back slightly which is their only flaw for me. Single best headphone purchase I've made. No need to worry about exterior sounds at all, and can listen at a lower volume because of it.

However for gaming I've been using the DT770 since I can't be bothered to move the Noires to the living room everytime. They live at my desk. I prefer the T1s for gaming, but being open I have to be picky about when to use them.

I did enjoy them. Just hated the mids I know I could EQ it out but prefer not to EQ.

It's honestly not a whole lot that needs pushing. So it's quite minor. Unless I go on/off I'll forget the difference in a few minutes.

Agreed. My wife has the Focal radiance, I prefer the noire, but overall the radiance do sound better so ultimately I couldn't really justify keeping them both, but I have thought about getting them again as I'm still deciding how I feel about iems, and the Sony mdr-z1r I enjoy, but the price tag still tough to swallow lol.
