    ++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum

    Quote: It sounded a bit harsh and sibilant to my ears. I also have this problem with my dad's old worn out MDR-V6 that I never use.

    ++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum

    Hey guys Looking for a decent closed back headphone. My current headphones are the Sennheiser HD600 and Etymotic Research ER-4P (with S cable). I want something slightly bassy (more bass than what I currently have), with a good soundstage. I don't want something bright sounding. I've...

    Imagine the flattest IEM that ever existed, take it and add a roll off to make it less clinical and more musical. You have the ER-4P. The ER-4P is never harsh sounding, or even clinical... I would classify it as slightly dark sounding despite what many think. The bass hits hard with no...

    I really expected to like this as it seemed to be an audiophile favorite here. I listened to it for a few days to ensure that burn-in could occur, whether it be my brain of the headphones themselves. The problem with this headphone is that it's super harsh, harsher than the DT990. And...

    This headphone is quite V-shaped, I never quite understood why it stood evenly with the K701 and HD650. I dislike the HD650 but that didn't prevent me from giving me it a bad review, because it's quite impressive. Now this, no matter how I try to listen to this. It's too bright and sibilant...

    Similar sounding to the HD600, but is a bit brighter. Not as bright as the DT880. One thing that I like about these headphones is the out-of-head experience that it provides. It's like hearing the music in 3D and you can easily pick apart the instruments. I think the weakness is the...

    VERY flat. Now this is a headphone I enjoy. Except for that bass roll off. Forget the HD800, forget the HD700, find some way to get deep sub bass out of these and you have a winner. It sounds quite clean and is never veiled (HD650, HD598) nor is ever harsh (HD700, HD800). That is all.

    Review by 'BK201' on item 'Sennheiser HD 650 Headphones'

    I don't like this headphone. Or rather I don't enjoy this headphone. But I can't deny it's impressive. Plagued with the typical Sennheiser problems of being built cheaply and being overpriced, yet it's really the only in its class, the audiophile's favorite. That warm and dark sound, that...

    Review by 'BK201' on item 'Sennheiser HD 598'

    Firstly, this headphone is the prime example of something I'd love to hate. I did like the HD595 as a non fatiguing headphone... and yeah the HD598 is better. But that ugly design and MAP restriction left a sour taste. I'm still saddened they didn't switch to a 1/8 inch connector as most...

    Is ringing audible?

    I see these guys who whine that a headphone resonates at certain frequencies. Is this really audible, it's in the millisecond range too.
