There’s some very advanced vsts out there for music production in terms of introducing tube emulation, tape, triode, whatever. I’d say 99% of modern mixes that are produced in the digital realm use these. If you’re using a colorful tube amp, you’re just introducing even more distortion to the mix before it makes it to your ears.

As a mix engineer (music, mostly metal), I'm studying the product page and the embedded video on these. It seems like they're designed to hit a target curve optimized for mixing in the Dolby-certified world, i.e. for multichannel film audio mixing.

I'm very keen to find the perfect headphones for mixing music - something that will reveal all details in the mix, even down to 20 Hz, accurate transient reproduction, while having a curve that facilitates mixes that will translate well. In other words, something that doesn't have exaggerated highs and lows, because then my mixes will be too flat. I was hoping these might be something to explore to this end, but it seems they're not really designed with mixing music in mind.
