Nothing insane at all, about having a backup of the best flagship of all time from the big 3. It’s as good and in some ways better than many headphones at over twice its retail price.

Same as both of you with my beloved K812, only two in-strokes in its 3-pin LEMO connector history lol. I have taken great care of it like a newborn, and have zero problems of any kind with it. Hoping for decades more use from it.

D8000 Pro is really the best reference Planar IMHO, with *almost* as much frequency-response-neutrality in the most important areas as the AUDEZE SINE, but quite obviously worlds better in all other regards. And the area where the frequency response isn’t “engineer neutral”, but makes things...

Crickets from Andreas Rapp lol

I own & love both the T90 Jubilee 90th Anniversary Chrome edition, as well as the 600ohm version of the DT990, limited chrome edition. Sincerely hoping they wow us all this next year, with some truly gorgeous LE’s Hopefully in bright white, bright platinum/silver, with plenty of chrome or...

AKG K7 & K8 series are still some of the most underrated open back gems in 2023. Customization looks like a luxury euro whip ! 😎

Ohhhh, and THIS AF. For any hobbyist aiming to use these at home in a shared area. People two rooms over will hear what you’re listening to, quite clearly lol… even at a relatively sensible volume. That’s part of the trade off for having such a massive soundstage, that can only be bested...

Pros: - Frequency response from 10hz - 1khz is the absolute best from all the open back, wide/deep soundstage flagships. Some other open backs come very close, but none of the super huge soundstage competitors come close to extension this far and flat, and thru the most important frequency...

To celebrate 100years in business in 2024, I expect BeyerDynamic to release some special edition models of their most iconic headphones. What will they look like ? Perhaps a diamond white ? A cool silvery platinum ? Polished or matte ? Remains to be seen! I, for one, strongly encourage...

Really interesting and simple mod. Props. Since my balanced have sat completely unused in the box since the day I got my 1990’s, this gives me good reason to pull em out and do this and A&B them to the analytical pads (which I think give a really great FR). I tend to like bright, very...

I feel like 3d polygon games like Red Dead & Ghost of Tsushima, Breath of the Wild etc are FINALLY truly showing that the “realistic/semi-realistic 3d games can be truly beautiful. Before the last several years, I felt like the only 3d games which looked truly excellent were Cel-shaded 6th &...

Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike 134 out of 10

1st Tier: Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike Saturn Bomberman Marvel vs Capcom 2 Tetris 99 Big Block 2nd tier: Super Mario 3d World Street Fighter 3: 2nd Impact widescreen Vampire Savior Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Cuphead Wind Waker HD

Did you ever pull the cups far apart to adjust them/break them in ? I was always very gentle with mine and kept them on the stand for years. I never once let the thin ribbon cables in the cup mount / gimbal get smashed or pinched when putting them on or off. After 8 years even the cups still...

3d holographic soundstage still unrivaled at any price. Literally perfect below 1k. Really great but a little too polite for me from 1k-3.6k From 4k up it’s not perfect for studio reference work, with its peaks/valleys (although very “musical” and “harmonic” with the harmonic peaks/valleys as...

^Congrats ! Enjoy !

Wondering if YAXI is ever going to make an M-ST-LR pad with the blue/red color coded rim ?

I suspect these may sound a lot like an open back, faster version of Sony’s new Japan-only professional studio monitor: MDR-M1ST

Can’t wait to see a sensitive Y-axis comparison to the HD600, HD800, and HD800s

Apple AirPods Pro 1st gen and the Sony MDR-AS800BT, WF-1000XM4, WF-1000XM3, some AKG, Samsung, and Technics offerings show promise with IEM FR....and Apple AirPods Pro 2nd gen show some promise in terms of eventually getting to an AMBEO 11.1 standard which would be fairly dope. But let's be...

HD800s was superior to the HD600/650 on the low end, but not superior to the AKG K812 on the bass or lower mids, or in soundstage. The HD800s was also vastly superior to the HD600/650, on the treble and air, but NOT in the 800hz-3.6k range, the HD600 remains the greatest frequency response ever...

How would you compare the Frequency response of the MDR-V7 ... to the : MDR-V6 MDR-7506 MDR-CD900ST MDR-M1ST or any other SONY MDR models you have listened to ?

I would love to see your 50th Anniversary edition DT990 ! how many ohms is it ? 250 ? 600 ? Listening to Mingus on a 600ohm special edition DT990. Absolutely beautiful on upright bass, and jazz drums, Hell, on any drums/Transients!

I agree that there is not really any beyer that is super extra open, like an AKG K812, where people two rooms over can easily hear what song you're listening to lol But I do certainly like the "open" beyers more than most of their closed equivalents. The only closed beyer's I truly like are the...
