- Ships to
- North America
This is a used pair of AKG K240II headphones. Sound-wise, they are identical to the K240 as far as I know. They have a warm, mellow sound with slightly exaggerated mid-bass to make up for their lack of deeper bass. The headband is a little misshapen but otherwise they are in great condition...- SirMagnificat

This is a pair of the original Grado PS500s (not the e model) which are among the most neutral Grados. They have a warm sound and make cellos and acoustic instruments sound great, with a bit of Grado sparkle in the treble (but not too much). Comes with the original box. These have a 1/4" plug...- SirMagnificat

Grado GH-1 Discussion
I don't find the bass recessed or light on the GH1. Compared to other Grados I've heard, they have a much more balanced presentation of treble and bass. I did think they had slightly more treble than bass, but only by a bit. It's been a while since I listened to them, and I only used the L-pads.- SirMagnificat

Grado GH-1 Discussion
Shameless plug: I'm selling a pair of used Grado GH1s. I really like them, but I just have too many pairs of headphones at the moment. I'd say these and the PS500s are the most neutral Grados that I've heard; the GH1s are a bit brighter than neutral, and the PS500s are a bit darker than neutral...- SirMagnificat

Massdrop x Focal Elex Review & Measurements
I have very similar taste to you (also quite sensitive to upper mids), and I think you'd prefer either the Utopia, Clear, or Elex since the Elear has pretty exaggerated bass. It's good bass (great bass, actually), and I can see why some would like the tuning, but it's really too much if you...- SirMagnificat

2017 Audio Technica new flagship ATH-ADX5000
Hi David. A lot of the people interested in this headphone fall into 2 camps. The first are people who like the AD series of AT headphones (like the AD-900x), which are brighter headphones tuned for female vocals with a very large soundstage. These are really popular with gamers. The second...- SirMagnificat

Audio-Technica ATH-R70x - In-Depth Review & Impressions
According to the Sonarworks review, they are a bit elevated in the 6.5–9kHz region, so maybe you're sensitive to a peak there?- SirMagnificat

Sennheiser x Massdrop HD6XX Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
I'd say "no" because they will sound much closer to the Momentum than a pair of Grados, even the warmer/bassier ones (PS500 and GH-1 are the ones I've heard and liked). Specifically, the HD650s are known for their rolled off treble, which is often called the "Sennheiser veil". You will also need...- SirMagnificat

Mayflower Arc
According to the video, the DSP is just a minor bass boost. IIRC, the optical input was stereo only, so that makes sense. If you're looking for virtual surround, you'll want to look elsewhere. Personally, I used to prefer Dolby Headphones but after using plain stereo for a while, I actually find...- SirMagnificat

Audio-Technica ATH-R70x - In-Depth Review & Impressions
@paradoxology, I would also really like to hear your thoughts on how the R70x compares to the HD6XX and HE-400i. I've been thinking about getting a pair of HD6XX when the next drop happens.- SirMagnificat

Best Gaming Headphones for me. current ones aren't good.
I really like the AKG k7xx for gaming since they have great soundstage/imaging and bass (so music sounds full, unlike say the AT AD700X). I haven't heard the k701 so I'm not sure how much more bass they have over that model. I also have the AT r70x which I prefer for music over the k7xx (better...- SirMagnificat

The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread
I own both the k240 and k7xx, and the k7xx are much more comfortable. This is because the pads have a much larger diameter, so they will be truly circumaural. The k240 pads have a small opening, so my ears tend to brush up against them. In addition, the pads are soft velour rather than pleather...- SirMagnificat
