Hey all, Supposedly HD25 lights now have a better frequency response than they once did. I didn't know they existed until recently but I did some research. I'm waiting for them to arrive now...lol. But I'm curious, does anyone here have any opinions on them from the last year or so? Do...

I'm using my Audio Technica M40x.

Interesting. I'll go ahead and believe that it's distortion then. But hearing ever so slightly below 20 hertz isn't bad I'd say...it's lower than what is practically needed probably. I tried to see how high I could hear, I stopped hearing anything after around 17,900 or so. That's probably...

UPDATE: I tried out this site, https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/. I officially hear actual tone around 16-17 hertz. I hear sound below that but it sounds like an oscillation, like listening through a fan (am I hearing just the mechanism of the driver itself working?). Going below 16...

My phone, typically. I do notice it doesn't power the headphones as loudly as my work computer does. If I listen through the PC I have the volume much lower.

And yeah, I make sure I don't have the volume up anymore than I typically would for regular music listening. I am pretty good at noticing when something is uncomfortably loud. I would say I typically keep the volume when using my HD 380 Pros (those are my go to headphones these days for serious...

hmm... IF those innerfidelity measurements are accurate (they may not be as we have just discussed), then I either actually am hearing the frequency that low, or I'm hearing the actual mechanism of the drivers themselves wobbling producing the tone. Or something to that effect...all I can say...

Huh...strange that the HD 380 pros revealed more distortion or perhaps have more than the PX 200 II's.

I have both too actually. The newer versions have a more clear mid range and much more bass impact/articulation. From what I can tell. Although they are much more mechanical sounding whereas I found the originals to be pretty smooth sounding. Some people have likened them to a small version of...

The picture you posted is the old version, they updated it. Also...they were well over 100 dollars thank you very much! I think they retailed at 120$ originally. And forgive my ignorance, but I had thought they were good for EQing due to a review I read a long time ago :joy...

I would say the koss KPH 30i headphones are pretty comparable to the PX 100s. I don't know of anything that is quite like the PX200 II's out there currently being made. Something tiny, comfortable, closed, and with great sound...headphones seem to be getting bigger if anything. The ones...

Interesting. So I could, theoretically, EQ my HD 380 pros to sound similar to a more expensive set? I wouldn't even know how to do that, and they sound quite nice to me as is I have to say. Would the capability of the transducer have anything to do with the size of the driver in the headphone...

Here you go! IF you can't stomach the audio quality, you at least have the information needed to find it. Yeah, I was thinking, why WOULDN'T Mozart's music sound closer to a baroque orchestra rather than a modern day orchestra? But Mozart was a revolutionary who had big ideas, so it's not...

I THINK I didn't have it up very loudly. I've been trying to be more aware of making sure I don't listen at too high a volume as I do have a very slight case of tinnitus (this is likely from years in playing in loud orchestras...you know, brass and all that). But with the HD380 Pro's I...

Ah, I see. So the drivers of the PX 200 II's aren't well suited for EQ ing as they aren't really hi fi headphones? I have to say, when I got them, they certainly seemed to be at the time! But I know there are leagues ahead of these out there. What would you say about the HD380 Pros?
