+1 on the SR 007 Mk1. Also, LFF's Enigmas and the Oppo PM-3.

I listen to poorly mastered metal of all varieties almost exclusively and I use my hd800s, unmodded, with the V2, till just a few weeks ago when it got replaced by BW, for everything. Including the odd k-pop/pop/Rock/rap album

I am pumped for anax 3.0 though

This is what happens to me. I listen to shitty masters all the time on whatever the fuck I have on hand.

Beyerdynamic DT-235 or CAL! through the Bravo V2 hybrid headphone amplifier.  The combination gives a euphonic mid-centered sound that masks many shortcomings of a bad recording.  If I had to choose just one, I would go with the CAL!  My experience in these situation is: I start with the DT-235 and think that I cannot do better, then I swap the DT-235 with the CAL! and the midrange gets slightly fuller still.

Great question by the way!

welp, the kid left his Beats Solo 2 behind when he went back to school last week, and when I asked him whether he wanted me to ship them to him he said no. There's another option for listening to overly compressed pop.
