K-ON!! and J-Music Disscussions - Page 2

K-On's mixes are very hot, even in verses where it shouldn't be. It's unbearable on my K701, and don't let Mio mislead you into buying them! ;) I'm working on a collab project with other online band members and I'm in charge of the mixing, mastering, and production for the song "Don't Say Lazy." We'll be using the original acapella vocals I've extracted. That's the beauty of remixes. You get to listen to your favorite artist(s), and recreate it entirely the way you want it. Less compression, more dynamics for me.

Disappointingly, she always played it directly out of the headphone jack of her laptop.

There's a scene in Rosario+Vampire II where one of the bad guys listens to the K701's out of a DAP.  So you see headphones underdriven in manga/anime.  I see headphones around the neck of characters far more than their heads.  In Shaman King, I don't even remember the main character even having his headphones plugged in once.
 

I'm not sure if I have this right,your asking what kind of headphones to get to listen to cartoons on?

I'm under 20 and grados don't make me look old. I think they look very classy, in fact, I think that the high models (wood and aluminum) look downright professional looking. It's all about perspective though.

What vintage headsets/headphones look like Grados?  The only vintage stuff I've seen looks more like my 7509HD than anything else I have or had.

Ancient crystal radio headsets look similar. Not as good as the Grados though.

So KyungMin, how did you like them? Amped right? It's ironic. She plays the bass but doesn't amp these cans. As a result the bass department is nearly non-existent.

I can hear K-On's bass lines just fine. The CX300's are bassy, but they're often bloated and inaccurate

Grados or the MS-1's are a good choice, even if Utauyo's so badly recorded that the cymbals sound like a screen door

LOLz!
