Interesting how actual graphs from analysis done vary greatly from what Senn says their response is. Their version of the response made me think they had more sub bass extension than all of their other open backs. It continues to be a tie between the HD660S2 and the HD58X for having the best...

Thanks GC335 and everyone involved. Great testing done that day. Learned a lot about new gear.

Would love to attend this. Bringing my Audio Technica ATH-SR50, with Meze 99 pads (the best under $200 set of closed can mods, ever, IMO). I'll just have them on as I walk around, other will be welcome to test them and forever ruin any other under $200 closed they put on after that.

Yes, mainly mid bass. That said, having compared both, these things stand out. The HD300 is more flat, very honest sounding. The treble is also a bit more extended - yet also smoother and more "expensive" sounding. It's much more spacious sounding, almost 3D but very, very realistic space, not...

I really hope they make a black version soon, with its own hard case. Additionally, if Dekoni or another could make alt pads that would be great. I mean the pads on these felt great and do the job but Dekoni is hit or miss. Some of their pleather or fenestrated will beat fabric / furry type pads...

I rarely mix on headphones, they are more to check mixes. Being concerned about ever needing to potentially mix amd master on cans, I found some go-too's. Senn HD59X for long laid back listening, comfort, when I want an open back. AKG K371, for brutal honesty. The AT ATH-SR50, with Meze Pads...

I'm not a Gamer, but as someone who liked Audeze prior gaming headsets for audio quality, the earcups didn't extend far enough (I've that same issue with the LCD-1), I'd consider these if the new headband extends farther. Mainly for audio listening (BT, USB or 3.5). How do they work for 3.5...

Consider Audio Technica ATH-SR50 (wired version). $150 or less on Amazon. You must get $20 Meze Standard (not small) pads on Amazon to put on them. Returnable, if you don't like them. Those create one of the lightest most indestructible, comfortable & roomy ear cup pairs I've heard. Air on top...

I edited my post. I meant the PX8 and I can't recall exactly but heard at least a few say they liked the B&W better. Not all share this. The video review up there was positive.

Thanks for the review. It sounds like a physical V2 could be on the way based on that. If I'm going to pay $800 USD they can't lose to far less expensive models like that.

Believe it or not, the Audio Technica SR-50 (wired, not BT) for $129 with $20 Meze ear pads (standard, not small), both on Amazon, both with free returns. You can buy, try, and return if you don't like. If you like great sub bass with solid mid bass that's not overdone, 3D sound (for a closed...

Amazing to hear that review call them bright in the high mids while others here felt the exact opposite up there. Maybe there is variation pair to pair?

It seems the Neumann NDH-30 could be direct competition in price and design. A bit more open, maybe slightly heavier, but a lot of similarities. I tested them, they're great.

Interesting. Thanks. I'd thought that since the stock NDH-20 silver originals were not balanced internally, the $100 more expensive black upgrade NDH-20 were advertised for being internally balanced wiring, that the NDH-30 would follow that plan. Start out silver with unbalanced wiring, offer...

Tried Neumann NDH-30 at AES NY 2022. The best open back under $1,000 USD I'd heard. They'd be a great update to my Drop HD58X I prefer to the 500 and 600 series. Also prefer to horribly peaky HD700, and bass lacking HD800 /800s. HD820 competes, but cups don't extend far enough for my head. They...
