    Earbuds Round-Up

    I did spend some time to find and EQ down all the anatomical resonance peaks from 3 kHz and up - they are especially severe with earbuds for me. Once that is done, Serratus doesn't sound unnaturally bright anymore, but it still sounds so much wider and more spaced out. For the reference, the...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Man, I don't know how this happened and didn't know this is possible, but my Serratus are managing to ruin my other proper headphones through the brain burn-in. Whenever I put on my Audio-Technicas or Grados after listening to Serratus for a couple of hours, the big headphones always appear to...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Grados with stock pads (I have SR80x) don't have that big of a soundstage as far as open backs go, so the bar is not as high as it might seem. By the proper headphone standards, I'd say the soundstage of Serratus is around just average or a bit above average. I will say that with Serratus I...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Got my TGXear Red Serratus today, trying them out. Driving them from my WM1A, they get sufficiently loud on high gain at 65/120 volume, which is plenty of room. First impressions with sound - these are literally Beyerdynamic DT series in earbud form! The detail retrieval and separation are...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Thanks all for the answers. Does anybody know if Serratus can be driven properly by Sony WM1A on high gain? 300 Ohm seems like it might be a little steep for my dap.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Hello to fellow earbud enjoyers. I have Fiio FF5 (and a bunch of lower-end earbuds). They sound nice overall, but they don't fit my ears as well as MX500-style earbuds, the shells are too small and not flat enough. What are the best sounding earbuds with MX500-style shell? My preferred sound...

    Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7b Impressions & Discussion Thread

    The link you posted didn't have the pads for me - and the whole "related products" section is missing. The new link you've just posted goes to the basket page, but when I click the product number, the page is empty. Edit: nvm, I think I was looking in the wrong place

    Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7b Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Update on my earpads situation. The magical treble on stock MSR7 (non-b) pads actually is kind of addictive. I am now wondering if the actual new MSR7b pads would have the same treble or not. My worn out pair definitely doesn't (but does have more bass). I've received Yaxi StPad 2, and so far...

    Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7b Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Thanks for the link! I actually dont need more bass than the stock pads - on some recordings MSR7b sound borderline too bassy for me. So my preferred sound is stock pads, with circles of thin microfiber which I cut out and put in front of the drivers to tune the treble down. I've ordered some...

    Rank the Headphones that You Own.

    Headphones: 1) Audio-Technica MSR7b (microfiber damping mod, aftermarket cable, currently has slightly wrong earpads). My most used and second best sounding set, very lightweight, comfortable, technically adapt. I like the sound signature, although I do miss the aggressive mids of my modded...

    Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7b Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Hello everyone, does anybody know where to get the original MSR7b pads in Europe? My original pair got worn out after 3 years of daily usage. I've got some original MSR7 pads from the official website thinking they are the same as in the MSR7b, but it turns out the pads are different. The MSR7...
