THE COMPOSER OPEN BACK FLAGSHIP by AUSTRIAN AUDIO
Happy that you like yours, but sorry, I don’t take that kind of advice. I stand by my statement. The others you mentioned are on a similar level of absurd to me. If anybody likes them — fine. I don’t like that price pushing.- plakat

Some OT ahead... Yes, getting used to a headphone definitely is possible. The farther off the current experience a headphone is, the longer this will take. I'm currently facing a similar problem: I try to decide between 3 Schiit amps (namely the Asgard 3, the Valhalla 2 and the Lyr+) mainly for...- plakat

That was actually a few days ago, and it’s a second batch of tmwhat I called the PS2000x — which is really excellent btw. Both offers won’t last, so if you’re interested get one soon…- plakat

Your perspective is fully valid to me, not tainted by you maybe being new around here. Your thoughts and comments are very welcome. I think there’s always differences in perception, expectations and wording, so the same thing can sound vastly different in different people’s descriptions. And I...- plakat

That’s interesting… I also like house, and I’m quite sure it’s not my music that’s missing bass ;-) With the RS1x upper mids are getting straining to my ears (I’m rather sensitive in that area) before bass would get thumping for me. It’s not that I’m missing something, I now know of it’s...- plakat

I've been using my new PS2000x for quite some time these past few days, just lovely. First Grado model I came across that can cope with some deep electronic bass. Love it. I also had the GS1000x on loan over last week. While I really liked the almost orange wood and the very lightweight feel, it...- plakat

Buying blind always carries a risk. There’s no single headphone that’s a completely safe bet. Can’t be I’d even say. And before someone mentions the HD650… I really dislike that one ;-)- plakat

today we took the chance to celebrate our tenth anniversary. Of course with some Schnaps. It was nice to see you all again, or for the first time as with @oratory1990 Addendum: my notes indicate that the second meet was on 2014-03-29… so maybe the first one was even in 2013- plakat

I don’t think they try to upsell you accessories. I have F, L and G spare pads and experimented quite a bit, but essentially like them best with default pads for all models I tried. I can’t stand S pads for comfort though. Overall I think that the default pads is just what they recommend.- plakat

My interpretation of the text on Grados website would be Rabat the gold sounds identical to the regular 325x. Just a different color and possibly more resale value — depending on how many will be built. I have to admit that I’m tempted. Definitely not because I need more headphones… they just...- plakat

I’m a bit split on this: while I generally prefer the larger jacks for their robustness and larger contact area, I do like being able to connect to mobile devices. But since only one of those two can be had, the larger jack with the optional cable adapter to small is preferable. Especially for...- plakat

At last... FedEx wanted to keep my packet over the long weekend, but I managed to grab it from them by paying them a visit. First impression is very good. I did not compare much as of yet, only a bit against my PS2000e. Tonally they share a common idea for sure, and from memory I'd say the...- plakat

Would be nice to meet again after so many years, but I fully understand if you don't want to share a room with too many strangers. I think we'll post some pictures here later on.- plakat

THE COMPOSER OPEN BACK FLAGSHIP by AUSTRIAN AUDIO
Thank you for your detailed comparison. Interesting perspective to me, since I don't listen to any classical (not anymore anyway). I can imagine that large orchestral works might benefit from the large stage of the HD800, even if its overall tonal balance does not fit my tastes, especially with...- plakat

I'm quite sure that's why some manufacturers mention that. Especially those models/manufacturers that deviate with their tuning from the main path benefit from a bit of patience for sure.- plakat
