MYSPHERE 3.1-UNIQUE in SOUND&DESIGN&BUILD QUALITY
Feb 24, 2017 at 5:55 PM Post #271 of 1,383
I am not arguing the point, but I would definitely add the 4 - 5Khz as another very important region, where sibilants and instrument's leading edges reside. For me personally, any peaks in that particular area is the first thing I listen for and the essential area that has to be done right, otherwise I simply won't purchase it. I am sure this varies from person to person, but this particular area is the most important for me,

Of course the drivers are adjustable and suitable for all heads mounted.
Many 3-D scans of real heads and averaged 3-D data of heads was involved to develop the full functionality.

There will be very little specific surface pressure on the head. But the "clamping area" is large and therefore the headphone will be quite stiff fixed to the head. But without pain!
You can shake the head and put in into all positions you like.
The driver will stay in position!

No "hot spots" on the head due to pressure. There is a very nice material used which distribute the pressure. Promise! You'll feel the difference to many other products! And no sweating skin anywhere!

Last but not least:
It's about the sound. The sound reproduction is really astonishing close to reality.
No! Nothing for "Bass enthusiasts" and nothing for "high frequency drill's"
Measurements will be shown beginning March on Mysphere 3.1 homepage after final acoustic adjustment towards common taste.

well I consider myself a bit of a basshead...but that said, surely not overblown bass
or with just an overwhelming subwoofer stuck in my ear...i don't call JUST that balanced, quality bass.
(my motto: 'while i love great quality bass, it also has to know it's place' ..can't overwhelm the other parts of the music)
and if a song isn't mixed with enough bass then, oh well.
 
also will be interesting to see what dacs/amps these pair well with.

I think that's a very agreeable bass opinion

Have you heard the original K1000? They are definitely up there with the best headphones for me, though not because of the bass, which wasn't super deficient but nothing to write home about.
Also, if that is any indication. these will be pretty inefficient. Hopefully that aspect will be improved along with the rest, otherwise they'll require a pretty beefy amp

That whole presentation had lots of good stuff in there, and they all learn from each other as well. IIRC , they did cover something on that. Whether it was boost in the 6k region or 4-5 i can't recall.

I would think one can can't do it all. When i listen to Indian Classical I want minimal bass and neutral as possible to focus on tabla notes and the strings of sitar. But if i'm listening to hip hop or Goa Trance, I need that subbass. So far it seems the Z1R is the closest to doing it all in one can.
 
Thats why so many music lovers on here have like 10+ cans

I think many k1000 owners did indeed get some serious subbass with an actual subwoofer connected so

Something like the Subpac M2 would work wonders

Just one pair is all I need....am sure there is an ''all mountain ski'' set of cans that can do it all well  ... or at least 90%

From what I've read on this and the german thread, aracnic senses tell me this will be the REAL DEAL.
 
Harman target frequency response, symmetrical connectors, great build quality, driver with lower mass than Utopia's.
True K1000 successor and not AKG involved....this one will be a killer.
 
Why am I so confident? Easy, the engineer behind this is the man who made the K1000, and AKG always fck up everything, no AKG involved is VERY positive.
 
Once I finish my Stax setup, this and a ECP Audio amp and boom, no need for more.

Same to me!
This frequency area is very important for most overtones of voices and voice’s sibilant.
And furthermore in this area the human ear-channel resonance is located. This resonance itself is influenced by the front of a headphone (the volume within the cushion). This is also, why we use a total open cushion instead anything else. It react like open air. Therefore also no influence to the specific ear resonance each person has.
This means: Yes, there is always a peak - but we human has learned to listen with this. If a headphone does not influence this specific ear resonance, it shall be correct.
