Interesting. I'll go ahead and believe that it's distortion then. But hearing ever so slightly below 20 hertz isn't bad I'd say...it's lower than what is practically needed probably. I tried to see how high I could hear, I stopped hearing anything after around 17,900 or so. That's probably...

UPDATE: I tried out this site, https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/. I officially hear actual tone around 16-17 hertz. I hear sound below that but it sounds like an oscillation, like listening through a fan (am I hearing just the mechanism of the driver itself working?). Going below 16...

My phone, typically. I do notice it doesn't power the headphones as loudly as my work computer does. If I listen through the PC I have the volume much lower.

And yeah, I make sure I don't have the volume up anymore than I typically would for regular music listening. I am pretty good at noticing when something is uncomfortably loud. I would say I typically keep the volume when using my HD 380 Pros (those are my go to headphones these days for serious...

hmm... IF those innerfidelity measurements are accurate (they may not be as we have just discussed), then I either actually am hearing the frequency that low, or I'm hearing the actual mechanism of the drivers themselves wobbling producing the tone. Or something to that effect...all I can say...

Huh...strange that the HD 380 pros revealed more distortion or perhaps have more than the PX 200 II's.

I have both too actually. The newer versions have a more clear mid range and much more bass impact/articulation. From what I can tell. Although they are much more mechanical sounding whereas I found the originals to be pretty smooth sounding. Some people have likened them to a small version of...

The picture you posted is the old version, they updated it. Also...they were well over 100 dollars thank you very much! I think they retailed at 120$ originally. And forgive my ignorance, but I had thought they were good for EQing due to a review I read a long time ago :joy...

I would say the koss KPH 30i headphones are pretty comparable to the PX 100s. I don't know of anything that is quite like the PX200 II's out there currently being made. Something tiny, comfortable, closed, and with great sound...headphones seem to be getting bigger if anything. The ones...

Interesting. So I could, theoretically, EQ my HD 380 pros to sound similar to a more expensive set? I wouldn't even know how to do that, and they sound quite nice to me as is I have to say. Would the capability of the transducer have anything to do with the size of the driver in the headphone...

Here you go! IF you can't stomach the audio quality, you at least have the information needed to find it. Yeah, I was thinking, why WOULDN'T Mozart's music sound closer to a baroque orchestra rather than a modern day orchestra? But Mozart was a revolutionary who had big ideas, so it's not...

I THINK I didn't have it up very loudly. I've been trying to be more aware of making sure I don't listen at too high a volume as I do have a very slight case of tinnitus (this is likely from years in playing in loud orchestras...you know, brass and all that). But with the HD380 Pro's I...

Ah, I see. So the drivers of the PX 200 II's aren't well suited for EQ ing as they aren't really hi fi headphones? I have to say, when I got them, they certainly seemed to be at the time! But I know there are leagues ahead of these out there. What would you say about the HD380 Pros?

The idiot by Dostoevsky. I am enjoying it quite a bit, I am nearly done. I'm 30 years old, and I read my first of his back in 2011, Crime and Punishment. I've also read Brothers Karamazov. I used to find reading him to be difficult to fully understand, but I feel I am understanding it much...

I really like The Beach Boys, The Monkees, and Beatles, and the Guess Who. I just got into the Beach Boys more than usual lately. I'm late the party I guess. The recording quality can bother me somewhat sometimes, but the music is fun both timeless AND dated. The Monkees actually put out a...

I am a stickler for Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann, and Ravel as well as certain 20th century Americans. I like William Bolcom. Also a big fan of Russian music, notably Tchaikovsky and Borodin. I also love Handel and Bach of course. Handel oratorios are incredible to me. I discovered a great...

Does anyone else use these tests to try out their headphones and their ability to hear certain frequencies? https://www.audiocheck.net/ I've been told by a few friends that humans cannot hear below 20 hertz and thus they don't believe that can hear lower than that. However, there is a test on...

I am a novice at all of this, but I would say that EQing is not the lion's share of the difference. I've found that no amount of EQing will make two very different sets of headphones sound the same or close. There seems to be an inherent sound signature that a particular speaker/driver has that...

One thing I've noticed, I have a pair of headphones that have a very punchy, articulate bass response (PX 200 II's,), but not much raw volume from what I can discern. Some untrained ears think they have no bass, although I quite like their bass response and overall coverage. I have other...

From the youtube video I heard laurel. I used my HD 380 Pros, which are very even.

I have too many headphones to count at the moment, most of which I don't use. I've narrowed down my selection to just a few that I use most of the time. For portable use, I use the sennheiser PX 200 II's. For jogging I sometimes use the PX 100 II's. Sometimes I use the Koss kph30i for portable...

I was able to try these out at a guitar center recently, as they still have a display copy, but no units to actually sell. I spent a lot of time listening at that guitar center, and realized these headphones were sent from heaven on high from the gods. Super large earpieces with lots of room...

I am late to this party, but the 300s are not the same as the 310s. -Steve

Bumping this to bring awareness to everyone that they don't make these anymore! THEY SHOULD!! Who is with me!?

I honestly have come with time to enjoy a more neutral sound. My #1 go to to this day is still the PX 200 II's, which are pretty even from top to bottom. I like a cooler, articulate dry and punchy sound with not too much bass but with a very articulate bass and some mid range emphasis to help me...
