Here's the deal, I have been thinking up an idea for a thread and want to know your input. We all know the main "strengths" of some headphones, why don't we make a thread with a few words associating with headphones to describe what they are most definitely not. For example Jecklin Float-portability, Beyerdynamic DT770-bass deficiency. See what I mean?

I think it'd be cool and a great way for n00bs to see what some headphones genuinely suck at.

Are you kidding me? I'm walking through Chicago when I get my Floats! Seriously.

Anyways:
K271-Lively
A500-Pocketable in most pants
DT220-Comfortable (I honestly think they hurt after an hour)
KSC75-Expensive

No way, you really did??? LOL! I can't imagine the looks you got. I would have paid to see a video of a helmet cam strapped to those. Perfect though, exactly what I was after on the post, let's keep it up guys! This could be fun

Haha I don't even have them yet.
Thanks for the helmet cam tip though!

eeuh, ill try

AD700s: Basshead phones. Its soundstage is really narrow. but the portability makes up for the narrow soundstage. It is pretty closed too, and doesnt leak that much sound (great for bus travelers). These phones unfortunatly almost squeeze your brains out, they are so dam tight.

i hope i didn't failed in this post.

Oh god, I thought that you were genuinely describing them after the Basshead remark... i fail, not you.

Great idea for a thread, I like this game, although I fear upcoming FlaymWarzz when people start posting things like "good"...

K701 - Definitely not bass-heavy, closed in, dark, slow, muddy, intimate or forgiving
D5000 (stock) - Definitely not bass-light, balanced, neutral, or uncomfortable
CD3000 - Definitely not muddy, dark, uncomfortable, neutral, or portable
ER4P - Definitely not bass-heavy, dark, slow, muddy, or forgiving

 

[Oggranak]

DT48E - comfortable for long listening sessions, bassy, harsh, easily broken, forgiving of poor recordings, muddy.

 

[Uncle Erik]

Triport - listenable.

Hahaha that wouldn't be that funny if it weren't true. Good job guys let's keep it going!

 

[Joelby]

HD-800 - Affordable

 

[Donald North]

DT880 - Definitely NOT bass heavy or laid back

 

[az2123]

HF-2 - Immune to speculation and anticipation.

 

[Happy Camper]

HD-800 Best headphone on earth.
