Perhaps what the poster meant is that the human voice (and thereby vocals) have a slight roughness to them, that the HD600 fails to convey adequately.

I was going to make a post similar to this one, but you beat me to it in style. I'm glad that contributors here, along with their technical knowledge, also have the soft skills not only to create layered, reasoned responses, but phrasing them in such a way that I can apply them in other aspects...

Used Tia Trios are probably the limit of my budget, but as a future note, would anyone mind sharing their setups, particularly speakers, that render that beautiful "pschhhhhh"? Moreover, are there are certain "tricks" in combination with certain gear to achieve such an effect? For example (and...

I do, seriously! I fully agree with @gregorio above. Just think about it. Cymbals/hi-hats deal with fatigue, the beat of the music, and deal with excitement factor. Poor reproduction of them can easily ruin the audio experience. Conversely, bass is, in my subjective opinion and in my personal...

Thanks for this. As a non-musician, I didn't know that they were different. I guess, since every reviewer I've read refers to "cymbals" to almost synonymous with treble, I assumed that those tones were all cymbals. Now I know! To be clear, @gregorio , the opening of those two songs are hi-hats...

I have never listened to a pair of proper loudspeakers.

Hi all, I have searched through related posts, but there doesn't seem to be a post about this topic directly. My question is simple: Why do cymbals sound so bad, like pin pricks, on most audio gear, particularly iems? Am I just unlucky? Am I overly sensitive to cymbals? Just listen to these...

That's convenient that you stumbled on this graph, it's exactly what I'm looking for. However, it's unclear now whether to purchase 32, 80, or 300 ohm >.<

Hey Jogawag, do you happen to have a database of your measurements? I am looking for something like this: Thanks!

I think it's great to play devil's advocate, as it stimulates further thinking. Like playing chess :). While I don't want to steer this thread off track of earbuds, I think it does present an interesting philosophical discussion on innovation. Large enterprises like Tesla in fact need criticism...

By the way, I think this is raises an interesting question on innovation. The question is, whether a) Innovation happens naturally, in which case we should be grateful, and not continually criticise, especially for cheap earbuds. Constantly looking for criticisms may also draw away from our...

Please let us know how it is once you get it! The LCP 80ohm exhibit the traits of high end sound, but fall back in many areas, creating an almost jarring effect. In this regard, it's also frustrating to listen to them, haha. If the 32ohm Ti is an overall improvement, then we are truly getting...

I see your point.

I would say that the LCP 80 ohms are initially impressive, but they can be picked apart pretty fast. They're difficult to critique, because they have no outright fault, yet have so much room for improvement. For instance, if I were to say that they were sibilant, I would be wrong, as they have...
