Ed8 sounds different depending on head position

That's where the 'report' button is for :-)

[edit]Hmm, this post makes no sense anymore after the admin did his thing

Yes, I do agree with you. When you turn your head to the sides, the sound quite to be change ALOT. I think it is a fix issue because Editon 8 cup is not very much flexible like my Leatherhead 

Oh are you serious? I didn't know that before lol

If you hear a difference when you turn your head, you're hearing things.

lol, quote of the day for me 

Well i know with my ultrasones i hear a difference depending on how they are seated on my head. But turning my head makes no difference so i am not sure what the reason for that would be. If you hear a difference from just turning your head i guess it is safe to say that you don't use them outside of the house.

LOL!  Then, if one turns one's head and coughs...  Well, one should hear that too.  ;)

I think it was a joke. I hope so anyway :)

edit: Aimlink you mean if you turn your head. You move your head and it affects the sound output? Only possible explanation I can think of is you are about to experience a cable break?

I thought you where just experience the issue many of us Pro 750/900/2500/ED9 owners had before

Edition 8 is so tight fit so there is kind of only one way of wearing them for me.

Same here - only one way to wear them comfortably for me.  Fortunately, they sound great in that position :)

Definitely true though that headphones with angled drivers are going to have this effect, where the sound will depend on how they are positioned, but I find this more of an issue where the earcup is bigger and there are more possible positions.
 

Ok, so all joking aside, how you position the cans on your head will very much affect their sound.  Moving/turning your head cannot cause any change in what you're hearing, unless doing so also affects the position of the cans on your head.

If you perceive a sonic change when you turn your head and nothing else changes, the phenomenon you are observing has to be psychoacoustic, unless perhaps your eustachian tubes are plugged and turning your head causes compression of the tube, thereby changing the pressure in your middle ear, thereby changing the compliance of your eardrum and concomitantly changing the frequency response of your ear.

Get in front of speakers, lay down, listen, sit up, listen, then twirl in circles and listen. Your unconscious mind tries to compensate for all your movements so that sounds coming from stationary sources remain stationary. When you move while wearing headphones, the sounds move with you, can be disorientating. Something else disorientating, when you lay down with headphones with drivers that aim at more than the ear canal, the positioning travels with your head, can be dizzying having the musicians playing from above you while sleeping with headphones on.
