Ever heard the colouration on a pair of Beyer DT100's?...
It's difficult to explain why you might want to use something apparently
not of the finest possible quality for monitoring use, but despite trying
most, I still like the DT 100s.
LS 3/5a is a prime example. It may have a restricted and slightly tubby
bass, but anything that sounds fine on those is likely to be very
acceptable on anything else. Balancing on speakers with a 'larger than
life' sound is likely to result in poor overall results for everyone else.
However, I never use cans for pleasure purposes. Hate the bl***y things.

To e-mail, change noise into sound.
Some folk get used to the ubiquitous DT100 like an old friend, especially
that 'feel' if you're doing something like broadcasting. They're robust and
when they get mangled in the studio environment (which they most certainly
do frequently) then spare parts are readily available, ensuring rapid
repair. Unless you carry your own phones in such use you'll find the last
broadcaster with a bigger head (!) has sprung the headband out so when you
lean forward they feel like their about to slide off unless you bend it
back!!...time for new headband I suspect. Personally I prefered Sony's
(closed back) but who am I to knock an institution.
