That’s audible to many people.Sennheiser has a +/- 1,5db variation tolerance across the frequency range for most of their headphones in place for example.

Lol... I thought "BE" meant beryllium.Black Edition.
That would be something!Lol... I thought "BE" meant beryllium.
If there was indeed a different/worst pad material, it must have been at early units. I bought my pair (silver finish) in October 2022 and its pads have a really soft and nice feel, quite friendly to the head and ears, like the one you describe for BE.... ... The first thing I checked after opening the BE was the pads. The pad/velour material on my silver one was horrible and my complaints on that is somewhere in this thread. SE velour material was close to felt paper. The BE almost feels like fabric softener was added still far from being a high quality velour tho.
Maybe HD490.Someone please can advise which other headphone has same deep soundstage and instrumental separation like NDH30, I testes AEON flow X is one of the most similar but less deep and no round despite shape of earpads
did you test it?Maybe HD490.
It's also a studio focus headphone.
I've noticed the same thing. Wonder why that is....... I'll keep listening to great albums as I contemplate this reality..... heck, 'sample variation' occasionally describes my ears. After a day when the headphone audio system sounds celestial, the next day that system sounds infernal. On those days: ... "do something else ... extra workout ..."
Your budget? $1500 - ZMF Auteur Classic; >$2000 Utopia OG; >$4000 Utopia 2022Someone please can advise which other headphone has same deep soundstage and instrumental separation like NDH30, I testes AEON flow X is one of the most similar but less deep and no round despite shape of earpads
To be honest, this expression that they have the same driver really infuriates me. According to this statement, there is no point in buying others if, for example, the HD 560S has the same driver. Well, now to the essence of the issue. I have an HD 400 Pro, HD 490 Pro and NDH 30, and also had an HD 560 S. And they all sound different. In my opinion, the NDH 30 is best for listening to music, and the HD 490 Pro for working with sound.Same driver as the NDH-30, too.
Same driver but very different implementation. Changing the housing and damping scheme on a driver can have profound effects on the sound presentation and even sound quality.To be honest, this expression that they have the same driver really infuriates me.

But that's just my hearing
It's strange that you tell me this. I understand this because I usually disassembly down my headphones and share my photos whenever possibleSame driver but very different implementation.

I dissemble my headphones as well and often show pictures of it myself. I also modify headphones and have firsthand experience of huge sound quality changes with the same driver depending on how well implemented the driver is.It's strange that you tell me this.

I thought they finally put an Utopia-like driver in an NDH30 closure.That would be something!
