If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...
The very short and honest answer is no... Unless you believe it does 😉- Opalius

Audeze LCD-2 Closed
If we're talking about the differences between the new and old versions, there is a very slight difference, but it mostly comes down to how close the drivers are to your ears. The A-cup version uses memory foam earpads that position the cups and drivers farther away from your ears. It takes some...- Opalius

Audeze LCD-2 Closed
Well, for the price of an E3, you could get both the LCD-X and the LCD-CB… wink wink—that’s what I have. If someone asked me if I wanted to trade either one for an E3, my answer would be a definite no. To put things into perspective, the E3 costs $2,000, whereas the CB is $800. Aside from the...- Opalius

Listen – I’m going to be as honest as I can. If you’re looking for a Harman-tuned headphone, with that “in-your-head” vocal presentation and the kind of tuning found in 90% of commercially DSP-tuned headphones—then the Audeze is not for you. But if you’re willing to embrace a small quirk in...- Opalius

I think one of the reasons the LCD-2 Closed Back (LCD-CB) isn’t as popular is the overwhelming preference for Harman-tuned headphones in the market. While Harman tuning works well for many genres, it can fall short for heavy metal. In Harman-tuned headphones, electric guitars often sound overly...- Opalius

Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO // DT 1990 PRO MK II -- Impressions Thread
Well, you will end up really going down a rabbit hole with this one. It's not talked about much because it's something that is very subjective, and everything about headphones is, of course, subjective... Right? Anyway... We are talking about two different tunings, really. One is diffuse field...- Opalius

Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO // DT 1990 PRO MK II -- Impressions Thread
First off I think you're asking wrong forum... but with that said I would say that the DT 1990 has better base extension, and more treble giving it better imaging... Also I don't understand why there is a 1k bump on the focal clear (that I really hate, especially for metal) it makes vocals come...- Opalius

Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO // DT 1990 PRO MK II -- Impressions Thread
Well, yes, there is a reason. The reason is that they are good. I think I have written page upon page about the 8kHz peak. I also have measurements of my own (look in the thread images). I can tell you that if you change the inserts and use Dekoni Velour pads, then the peak will be reduced, but...- Opalius
