using the bass as a reference point and comparing HRs with yours,their peak is below the bass,yours is above it. the difference is about 7 dBs. at least innerfidelity is much closer. yours is totally off.     I find that 3-4 dbs in almost any FR can make a very noticeable difference. 7 dBs...

  thanks for pointing out that your graff is massively flawed,i agree. thank you.     yes ,you can easily sea that the bigger treble peek is 7 dB higher(in relaition to the base) then the one headroom chows and thanks for showeng that the headroom graff is much more similer to the one at...

  I can't take this thread serious at all. the FR graph at headphone.com for the HD700 is totally different than the one shown here and it has no huge spike at 5kHz at all,not to mention,other differences. in fact,it follows the HD800 2013 very closely.     until proven otherwise,this entire...

  your input is much appreciated Sonido(that's Spanish for sound ;)).       I don't want to ask too much but would you say the vocals on the T90 are very forward and pronounced,when say,watching a movie?       the HD700 certainly has a good dip at 2-3kHz. come to think of it,that's like a...

  something that isn't mentioned much here. when discussing the tesla tech,most just mention that it's about efficiency in regards to amplification. I think it's much more than that.     ...because the magnetic field is so powerful and can exert so much control over the diaphragm,they are also...

     like I said,i read that. thank you though.     the problem I have with his review,is that it seems to me he just opened the box,started listening and evaluating. bad form. you can see his opinions changing over time,..plus,iirc,his now moved on to "bigger and better things" so I don't...

    which one sounds more like your listening to speakers instead of HPs on your head? if they're close,to what degree?     related question,describe the sound/head stage for both. size and shape. also,imaging. how precise,height and depth.     do instruments seem large or small.    ...

  i'd really like for someone here to do a thorough comparison with the HD700. I've read what's in both this thread and the HD700 appreciation thread about that.

  I should have been more clear,i didn't mean a big V shape,a more milder one. also,doesn't that V begin at the mid treble and ends somewhere in the mid or upper bass?(not the "air" treble,which is above 10kHZ,and sub bass?)    believe me,i'm in no way,shape or form trying to devalue the...

  are you sure there's absolutely no audible distortion or compression,...or are you simply incorporating what you hear as what you perceive as the correct or sound it's supposed to have?     there is a mid bass hump,..no? that seams uncharacteristic to the other HFMs with their linear mid...

  in the Flagship thread,the ad900 is called a Classical Master.     I think the changes made in the ad900x makes then better at more genres of music,including watching movies/programs. in other words,they should appeal to more people for more uses.     if you prefer brighter,the ad900 is a...

  very interesting,thanks.     one problem though,according to the established parameters,the dt880 should maybe have passed #6 and the T1 failed the same. he got the opposite.        this doesn't tell how good they sound to the individual though.

      how exactly are you "listening to older rock"? what from and through what?

      can you please further describe the sound/head stage between the HE-500 and T-90,especially in regards to the width and not just imaging(height and depth). given that you were driving both through good equipment,i'd be very interested.     those who seem to have good judgment and fair...

  "they were cold so they had no bass".       this thread is proving to be funnier than Comedy Central.       brought in from outside?  BWAHAHAHAHA!       talk about suggestibility!

  sorry to ask a question after someone asked another question and no answer yet but...       are there any angled pads that would fit? (something that would simulate the angled drivers on the T1)       i'm not sure it's necessary though.

      I don't remember the link but I read an interesting blind study on this subject using speakers. many of the people used were in college and from the USA and japan. the overall results were the same,most preferred a neutral sound. I remember an expensive set of martin logans that were put...

      I agree with everything you stated. the problem there is,even if you wanted to hear it the way it was recorded,most dynamic driver HPs tend to have bass roll-off(compounded by the fact that humans don't hear those lowest FR all that well to begin with) just like planer HPs tend to...

 to sell more HPs!,.....J/K.       generally speaking,it's much better to own a HP or HPs that have frequencies or a sound signature you like and don't need equalization.     however,i know what you mean as I've noticed the same here but I still prefer to be able to EQ if I want/need to...

  bump. still on page 35,skipping unnecessary comments and concentrating on proper reviews.     still trying to get through this thread. interesting,perplexing and just about the most widely varying reviews I have ever seen is all I can say.     i'm trying to decide if I should try this next...

      I've never owned the ad700 but I've read so many honest reviews that I feel I can comment on a comparison.     the ad700 is going to sound brighter than the ad900x but this is because the ad900x has more bass,more extended bass and better controlled highs(but all fully there,more...

      so then,how does the conductive element,and therefore diaphragm,stay controlled if there isn't a very well controlled field for the diaphragm to get sandwiched between? I see what you mean by "potentially higher distortion".     is the diaphragm really stiff on the single ended...

  What about the beyer T70p? ( p for portable,..plus 32 ohms should work,..i bet it sounds better with an amp though,but most do).     I have no experience with it but it's closed and comes with what looks like a soft carry case.

      ...and don't forget he-4 = 38 ohms,86 DB,..he-400i = 35 ohms,about 93-94 DB.     More info and time for reviews is needed.

      ...and there it is,exactly what I was thinking.     subscribed to know what these will sound like.
