Yes, sorry, I got the frequency a little mixed up, the 4250 is the slope of the hump, almost near the dip (at least on the graph that I'm looking at). But I still prefer to keep it at 0 or -1. By the way, I'm really digging this preset, metal sounds amazing with it! Can't get enough!

I'm a bit concerned about the +4 dB boost at 4250 in this preset, primarily due to the existing hump around 4000 on the FT5. This can lead to a harshness, especially with certain rock/metal albums, and the additional +4 dB exacerbates the issue, making the FT5 nearly unbearable and sibilant. I'm...

I got an FT5 just the other day, and was surprised at how bright/piercing it sounded, although it's mostly described as a warmer/darker HP. It's literally ear-piercing with rock and metal. Perhaps, it's just my physical features that make this HP sound that sharp. Or maybe it just needs some...

True. Life is aimless and devoid of meaning; everything is deception and illusion. In essence and outcome, life in prison is no different from life in Nice. The distinction between Kant's brain and the brain of a fly holds no essential significance. No one in this world is inherently right or...

But even the best and most high-end headphones can sound horrible with certain recordings and could definitely benefit from some EQ. In fact, "the better headphones" often turn some recordings into an unlistenable mess, especially older records and a lot of metal stuff, while some cheaper...

Wow, that's news! How come?!

I have a Conductor 3XR, and it's full bodied, 3XP might be similar.

I've had my RD headphones for about a year before I decided to try the JMs, having read reviews here, as I was looking for a punchier presentation. I compared them side by side and found that the JMs had too much bass for my taste, and they also sounded less detailed and had a narrower...

Hi everybody, today, I tested the GH50JM and compared it to my RD. While the RD sounds slightly thin without equalization to me, the GH50JM has too much bass for my liking. However, once the RD is properly equalized, it sounds amazing with decent impact, but more natural, detailed, and also...

Do you think, if I EQ it for more weight, it can be on par with the GH50JM in terms of impact and energy, and perhaps even better, as it's considered a superior HP? Or is it just going to sound bloated, and still not as powerful as the GH50JM?

Please also let me know how Gjallarhorn GH50 JM Edition compare to Rognir Dynamic. Is it worth it to switch from RD to GH50JM for metal? Very interested in GH50JM based on many positive reviews here. I feel like RD lacks some impact with heavy genres.

Hi everybody, I've been reading a lot of praise to GH 50 JM here, and as an owner of Rognir Dynamic I'm curious how GH 50 JM would compete with RD for metal. I love my RD, but sometimes feel it lacks a bit of impact, especially with older recordings like Sepultura's Schizophrenia. What do you...

Hi SLimy, thank you for your advise, I will give it a try, I'm really tired of that issue. It was also interesting to know about how 3XP compares to other units in its class. Although I stopped searching after I purchased my Burson as I loved it so much. I can't even imagine that something can...

Hi everybody, I need a general audio hardware/PC advice. I use my Conductor 3XR with Roon in the Asio mode on a Windows PC, and every time I want to watch YouTube, it won't play because the audio device is locked. I have to turn the amp off and on again in order to unlock it. Is there a way to...

Hi everybody, can anyone advise with the following issue: I use my Conductor 3XR with Roon in Asio mode on a Windows PC, and every time I want to watch YouTube, it won't play because the audio device is locked. I have to quickly turn the amp off and on again in order to unlock it. Is there a way...
