Interesting sound... if you have a cheap pair somewhere try it, sure bass is impacted negatively below 150hz but almost everything else is yesssss, also nice to be able to hear whats going on, whats really going on around me

I still love my NHs' coffee and early morning sessions are particularly mind blowing. I have at least 3 or 5 other HPs that are in a similar league, and nice speakers, and I listen to A LOT of music, I reach for the NHs most often.. they are comfortable, easy to drive have great sound and do...

lmao

I can hear !! Good tone (seriously it has some bass !! ?? ) and the highs / kids are acceptable (and eq able) and its really nice to not have ANYTHING on or in my ears.I kinda laughed when I saw the 'ports' but I also kinda jumped the first time the bass dropped and it was around my neck :D

You're right ! A subwoofer *in a room / car, can experience volume gain (and sometimes loss) at certain frequencies, that is why designers typically design the subwoofer to 'roll off' -6DB @ @28hz because 27 26 and 25 hz can do all kinds of strange things to eardrums, china ware and the drivers...

The Lotoo is very smooth yet revealing with amazing separation and image/focus. I already **LOVE** the ANHs' .

...plugged into the older macbook pro to find something i feel like listing to, after deciding on the music and listening for a while at low volumes **its early, I decided to try something i never do.. use the eq on the macbook ! I ended up with a 'lopsided' smiley face eq with the highs and...

...are in an excellent housing but not impacted negatively by any until now 'overlooked' internal cavity issues. do i think all high end headphones will have suspended cups isolated from the headband in the future ? yes. and acoustically designed 'ports' *instead of just a hole or 2 ? yes.

...HPs off ? superbly comfortable, very revealing without being remotely fatiguing, lol just for ghits and siggles I played some 'bass mechanic' *old car audio BASSS tracks, and I can confirm the ANH will play down to about 20hz without any distortion ..... careful with your volume :)...

I just got some (new to me) $150 HPs in the mail, the last 2 hours has been very interesting .....

im not sure full size HPs do sound better? there is something about the proximity of the iems driver to the ear drum that holds serious potential if you ask me.

Weird, I always thought thats why noise canceling was invented ? ....

unusual choice of headphones, what makes you favor them over the 100s of others available ?

...days I can get out of bed put some wireless HPs on, and a 'playlist' - and with just the volume control and the occasional lift of an earpiece **to actually pay attention to someone/thing, I don't have to stop listening, I can have background music of my choice and tonality all day and or...

This ^ is my current revelation, with todays tiny and excellent bluetooth audio devices (and good source material, needle drops in my case) i am listening to more music nowadays then ever before, while the wife watches tv, while i garden, working out, riding my bike, walking the dog, hours and...

or if I need to hear whats going on around me this thing fits my neck like a glove

Synergy (might sometimes be) > dollars spent :D

Interesting description of the FTX porting design ^ I will have to try it. I can A/B back and fourth between other HPs I have to compare. So far results are not so good, they sound a bit like the Koss proAA I once owned :D

I did not know that, thank you :) good eye, I had not noticed that detail, thanks again

Ha ! I wub da intra - webs http://www.brentbutterworth.com/headphone-voicing.html

amazingly the baffle size was almost exactly the same size :)

woa tripple pic !

...are good, I'm just wondering how much better I can make these ? I have read these drivers produce a lot of bass, currently the HPs sound dry.... *almost like a full range driver in an open baffle, clean but dry. some of my other HPs dig much lower and higher no doubt this is a nice driver...

...idea to take a million dollar violin, put it in the hands of someone who has made their fingers bleed for decades learning how to create the - *exact tone and sound they desire* record that ^ performance using the best recording equipment and techniques, and then play all that back...
