Is 'slam'/'macrodynamics'/'impact' a real thing? (Outside of frequency response)
I don't find 80% of what he says to be real. He represents everything that is wrong with music enjoyment.- SSandDigital

Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone
Most hilarious comment I've read in a while. In the age of peak shilling, hype, snake oil like audio has never seen before, lol. In a time when headphones is being invaded by the boutique speaker brands and pricing them similarly with the same nonsense marketing. Never have headphones become...- SSandDigital

Holy Grail of Hi-Fi
Headphones that don't hurt, and just flat. R70x have fulfilled both of those for me. I headphone I can wear and listen for hours, neither my ears or head/neck get fatigued. And I never have to worry about some dumbass harmon tuning, V shape, forward sounding etc. I never think about...- SSandDigital

Lately headphone reviews are pissing me off
No I'm not talking about people who are gushing with enthusiasm with their firs foray into headphones. Talking about established audio reviewers who have been doing it for years. I was never a fan of Tyll and Innerfidelity because he alway talked in a way that was hiding he has preferences...- SSandDigital

Lately headphone reviews are pissing me off
Headphones come in variety of shapes and for various purposes and used for different reasons. Was on a mission to find sub $700 closed headphones. I started looking at Elegia. I see moron reviewers on google searches and youtube all making comparisons to the Clear, HD650 and other open back...- SSandDigital

Why is output selection ignored?
Why is output selection an ignored feature now? I've noticed nearly all the DAC/Headphone Amp combos released recently don't have an output selection and just works by inserting headphone jack in. WHY?!?!?!? Is it really that hard for these companies to put a button where you can choose to...- SSandDigital

Headphones for EDM in 2020?
My current favorite are R70x for vocal and uplifting trance. For hard bass or armin rave style, A900z only cause I don't want the world to hear me, cause I gotta crank that volume.- SSandDigital

Audio-Technica ATH-R70x - In-Depth Review & Impressions
It's impossible for me to put it into words, for my listening desires, this headphone isn't just the best I've ever heard, it's the best by huge margin. Everything is just perfect for me, I can listen to these all day, no sibilance at all for me yet the treble is still where I want them to be...- SSandDigital

The AKG K550 Impressions and Discussion Thread!
...a brand whose name is being abused by Harmon/Samsung. And no one cares about high-end AKG for professional use. K872 and K812, does anyone give a **** about these headphones? AKG might as well be dead. Who would have ever thought of describing AKG headphones as either unlistenable or...- SSandDigital

Explain like I'm 5 please
My only suggestion is do not get the HS8. It's too big for near field desktop use unless you got a lot of space. If you want something to sit on your desk right near you, 5" would be your best bet. If you got space in your desktop setup to properly place the HS8 go for it. But it really is...- SSandDigital

The AKG K550 Impressions and Discussion Thread!
I would do is cut the cable so only about an inch is left outside of the cup and solder a 3.5mm female jack to it. Make it easy on yourself. Also I don't care about attached cables, dunno why people make a big deal of it. Among my headphones with detachable, I never detach the cable... so...- SSandDigital

Audio-Technica ATH-R70x - In-Depth Review & Impressions
...other idiotic term audiophools come up with. Why is it a BS? Cause if the headphones aren't revealing per it's actual definition, then it's dogsh**... so it's a idiotic BS term. Personally believe the only way to guage if you'll like a headphone by someone's review is just listening and...- SSandDigital

ATH-A990Z vs. ? ? ?
A990Z pads are fantastic. If you want an insane amount of bass, then go for it, but drowns out the sub-bass and mid-bass, becomes boomy. I'd stick to the stock pads. If don't like the sound, just return the headphones and try something else. No- SSandDigital

Most overrated headphone brands
That study wasn't about you or your friends then. Paper doesn't say they filtered out general public, at least my impression was the opposite, it was study of the general public's sound preference. And that makes sense, hell most of the general public I see, the way they listen to their music...- SSandDigital

Most overrated headphone brands
Laughably wrong. They make their headphones for studios and broadcasting. Maybe can try to understand why Beyer tunes their headphones the way they do. DT250, DT770, DT990 are among the most popular headphones among broadcasting, mixing, mastering, engineers for a reason. Unless you want to...- SSandDigital

Why do people keep referencing this? It's getting so old. What amazes me most, the presentation and paper is old. And yet it seems to be thing for so many to keep referring to. I don't get it. Also no idea how anyone realistically can do this without EQ, considering his curve is elevations...- SSandDigital

Most overrated headphone brands
Amusing cause they are docs and by their profession would know anatomy and the limitations of human hearing and how susceptible human hearing is to be influenced by outside factors such as price tag and ridiculous reviews. But then, I guess what else do they have to spend their money on? I dunno.- SSandDigital

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
Sennheiser uses the worst pads on mid-tier headphones. Those pads flatten like pancakes in such short amount of time. And the degradation of the pads do affect the sound. I dunno why they don't use materials that are more durable and retain their shape and quality. Who knows, but then when...- SSandDigital

Audio-Technica ATH-R70x - In-Depth Review & Impressions
Weird, you must have watched a different video cause Lachlan says he likes both K712 and R70x because they are different. But then I think it's odd you're already negative on R70x because you don't like K712 because Lachlan likes K712. His favorite headphones were also the MA900 which by...- SSandDigital

Audio-Technica ATH-R70x - In-Depth Review & Impressions
So one of the interesting software I use on the desktop occasionally is Sonarworks 4. Headphones like my K712 or A990z which are clearly colored with their wonderful flavor of sound, sound very different with Sonarworks applied. Headphones that are more balanced like HD58x do not sound fairly...- SSandDigital
