This looks an interesting closed-back HP. Few measurements around but I think it deserve a better and deeper investigation . Opinions range from "dead flat" to "bass heavy", but what is most interesting is the very low distortion figure across the whole frequency spectrum, even lower than planars, that make me think of a well designed driver. Wondering if this might be a good starting point for mods in case of a sub-optimal FR. Build quality seems very high, comfort seems good. A drawback is the price, not really cheap.
Has anyone heard these headphones?

I’ve never seen that one, but the best microphone I ever used was a Neumann. Absolutely stunning.

Not heard nor measured it. The parts seem to come from Sennheiser (HD630VB) but is lacking the VB feature. Possibly there are different drivers in there. The HD630VB also doesn't sound bad when adjusted correctly.

The HD630VB also doesn't sound bad when adjusted correctly. Might be. Beyond look, they share the same sensitivity but have different stated freq range and higher impedance. I don't know wether this is due to a different driver or to make them better suited for studio use. Neumann is owned by Sennheiser, so either they borrowed the same model and put in a different driver or they just tuned the HD630VB differently. Who knows?

This site had measured them: www.kopfhoerer.de/test/neumann-ndh-20/They also measured HD688 and its more flat sounding. It does not have that hot treble but the dips are much bigger than HD688 has, around 3-8 kHz.
