Not quite a Dt1350. Aventho sounds like a consumer headphone. Though, it seems due to its tuning and not necessarily a shortcoming of the tesla driver. Been trying out tuning mods to make it sound close to a dt1350

Never tried taking it apart. It sounds sibilant when worn shallow.

Sounds much better when worn deep. Yes, it’s a plastic disk

Final Audio - Heaven series

Science class is over. Nothing more can be said. I don’t question preference with multi driver devices. Some musicians are, pardon the harshness, sponsored. Nothing wrong with that, but it begs the question of whether they really prefer those or otherwise. Audiophiles enjoy music, and to the...

“Sound so good” is subjective. I’m not arguing there. If it’s good for you, that’s great to me.

It isn’t surprising that live performances with “gazillions of speakers” are attended by folks who resort to alcohol and other unpronounceable substances to compensate for or hide the lack of sonic quality. Hey, I go to venues like that too and sonic quality is not my main motivation. Phase...

Not really a secret that “parallelism” benefits the business aspect. More drivers crammed allows higher margins. Its just how consumers minds work, that business folks tap into. On the technical side, having multiple independent drivers actually introduces phase issues.

Cirrus now owns Wolfson. If it matters, some Wolfson parts/designs now sport Cirrus part numbers.

Heaven II Aurisonics eva

Not too common around here but the aurisonics eva imo fits the bill.

Just the lightning cable and any iDevice will work. No adaptors necessary

Used to be aurisonics eva, now should be some fender model. Snappiest, non-bloated bass with punch ive heard.

First, welcome to the journey. Price isn't everything. Second, a great source works wonders. Esw9 is more than capable paired to a great source. Compressed sounding definitely has to be due to the source.

Finally, push pull over ear!

I found slow filter, 96k upsampling, one click less from narrow to sound best connected to an iDevice playing Spotify. Anyone else care to share combinations sounding great in your opinion?

Anything about battery life?

Thanks for saying they do tax rebates. Heading to Tokyo on vacation as well. Surely one place ill visit.

There's IE800 and T8ie (super expensive and super high end pure dynamic). I'm in the camp who thinks the BA fad is indeed marketing. It's what's considered "hot" right now, thus, its where the money is. Earphone dynamic diaphragms are small, thus light, thus easy to control its motion than full...

How about AGC mode?

Might as well give the ATH CKS1100 a listen too

Each one of them have their own unique mix of electronic components and circuit designs. Generally, some designs would be better put together than others. Not every designer would have the same skill as another. Some designs have components selected to produce better cost to consumers at the...

Phase reversal? Anything worse that can happen?

How about bending the yokes in? Top part of my ears are a bit more outward than the bottom so I bent the yokes to follow that angle. It used to be that I get fatigue only on the tops of my ears . After bending, pressure seems to be better distributed.
