It makes me feel uneasy because it feels like it could cause actual issues due to permanent stretching or crinkles that would cause distortion or such. I've heard the flex a few times in my pair but thankfully I haven't noticed any changes in sound or issues, and I've tried to look for them...

Open-back absolutely has a big difference on leakage. It is not much different from having nothing on your ears. It's probably like putting a piece of paper towel over your ears.   I haven't heard the non-Fazor model but I can't imagine it would have that much difference in bass, based on...

I've been running an EQ lately that applies -2 dB around 10.5 KHz (pretty narrow band around it, with the effect mostly ending around 9 - 12 KHz) and it removes most of the little bit of glare/harshness that's normally present and makes cymbals sound a little more natural. Try it out, I doubt...

Here's the FR graph of mine, made earlier this year (supplied by Audeze). It's a little different than the most recent InnerFidelity graph, and it matches what I hear in a tone sweep a lot better, although keep in mind that this graph has a decent amount of smoothing applied to it. I don't...

I think you have to request the chart these days; mine didn't come with one. Also, although I bought mine a month ago, and they were out of stock when I ordered, I found out today that mine were manufactured in March or April.

If the drivers were re-designed recently, I wonder how/if the frequency response changed? I tried listening to a tone sweep on mine (bought within the last month) and the graph of the frequency response in the treble that's been measured for the Fazor version doesn't correspond to what I hear...

I did previously compare the frequency response graphs of the Fazor and older version, and Fazor gained a pretty narrow spike at 8-10KHz. Maybe this is what you guys are noticing? It never bothered me but I equalized it down a little bit anyway since it probably shouldn't be there ideally...

I haven't seen much talk about how these sound for a while, so I thought I'd chime in. I got my new LCD-2 with Fazor about two weeks ago and I am so impressed with the sound - it was even better than I expected. I'm surprised to see that they're described as dark and lacking soundstage or...

LCD comfort relies heavily on your head shape/size. I think people with wider heads will have clamping discomfort. The weight discomfort is also affected by your neck strength/stamina. I just received my LCD-2 today and have been listening to them for 3 hours (they sound awesome, btw) with no...

I got my Magni 2 today. It was the base $99 and I paid $31 for the faster FedEx shipping (forgot the name) to Saskatchewan. Upon arrival, I had to pay $16 for GST+PST and not sure what else.

  This is because the headphone has a very big spike in the impedance vs frequency curve right at 100Hz. This means that any amp/output without low output impedance (as close to 0 output impedance is ideal for any amp) will boost the sound around 100Hz significantly.   People say these...

Lower output impedance is better. The amp benefits from having less, not more, even with high impedance headphones. Though with them, it doesn't really matter unless the output impedance is really high.

My solution to the storage issue is to stream my media from my network file shares at home. I use ES File Explorer which has a built in music player that can stream from the share which contains all my music. I'm pretty sure other players can be used with it too, but I haven't looked into it...

I'd like to see another set of measurements with a different specimen and the most recent firmware. What's going on there seems like either a software issue or a measuring issue, as a guess. The results at volume 13 are good. The phone sounds great to me. Definitely better than the previous...

Great. Maybe this is a trend now.

I just measured the output impedance of the headphone jack on mine and it looks to be about 2-3 ohms, which is excellent. This means it should match well with pretty much any headphone/IEM. I'm quite happy and surprised to see it measure this well. From what I've seen online about how many other...

It certainly doesn't feel great buying my JH13 a week after the 10% off sale and something like 2-3 weeks before they got the freqphase change without knowing it was coming at all. Oh well, I'm still enjoying the current JH13. I am curious to hear how they really compare though. 

Quote: I'd say they don't really give similar information, though headphones with lower impedance often have higher sensitivity. It's best to look at them separately though.   Higher impedance headphones can be good because they're not as sensitive to the output impedance of the amp...

Quote: I was doing research recently regarding output impedance of various phones. iPhones are one of the only ones I've encountered with very low numbers (like 2 or less). Many have around 10 ohms which is fine for many headphones but not for iEMs. Some popular ones (like Galaxy S2 and my...

Damping factor is the ratio of load (headphone) impedance to source (amp output) impedance. A higher damping factor does a better job of controlling the speaker movement, especially around the resonance frequency. More importantly (IMO), if the speaker impedance varies along the frequency range...

The Galaxy Nexus.

The fear of equalizers. Also lack of of acknowledgement that it's really easy to delude the auditory perception.   Quote: Most definitely not the case. It could be a different bit depth or pre-processing.

I just measured the output impedance of a Nexus I have temporarily at 10 ohms. Can't say for sure my measurements are accurate (just used a cheap multimeter and my MS-1 headphones as a load) but it should be in the right ballpark. I'm just putting it out there for people that wanted to know...
