Denon AH-D7200. No sibilance.

Denon AH-D7200. No sibilance.

add to that, the baby brother Denon 5200 too. Just had a pair for several years and they arent sibilant for the clarity you get outta em

Would add to the list the Sony mdr-z7s.I am also very averse to sibilance and these are great.Also just got the Denon 5200s and they are great all rounders.A little more treble than the sonys,but still no sibilance.

I am now hesitating between the Sony's (I heard that the model w is slightly better whatever that means...) and the Denon (5200 or 7200). The price difference between the Denons is negligeable where I live. The Sony's are about 25% cheaper. Which way would you go?

Not shure what the Sony w is.

Not shure what the Sony w is.

Sorry, typo: Sony z7mk2.

The choice for me is now between:
Sony Z7mk1
Sony Z7mk2
Denon 5200
Denon 7200
E-mu Teak

I am looking for a good amount of bass and ZERO sibilance or harshness

 

[Hifiearspeakers]

ZMF Aeolus and Verite.

That's a great list of headphones.

ZMF Aeolus and Verite.

ZMF look amazing but unfortunately I cannot try them here so too expensive for a "blind" purchase.

I don't know if there is a such thing as 0 sibilance, TBH. A lot of it also has to do with recording quality. Don't ignore amps either. I've had several headphones that were too sharp/sibilant on some amps and became bright and sparkly but not sibilant on other amps. I recommend getting a warmer and smoother headphone first, but if you pair it with the wrong amp(s) for it, it might still be sibilant. Good luck!
