KEF new headphones!
Those are probably smoothed a ton. Wait for a 3rd party like Tyll or Rin to do measurements- knubbe

TDK BA 200 Question!
It's microphonic, but I don't think it's a deal-breaker myself. Depends on how what you'll be using it for I suppose. I wouldn't recommend them for going to the gym- knubbe

TDK BA200 Thread
Quote: The Large TX100s. I'm not sure what you mean by wooly but I know with some other phones Comply's tended to kill the highs, which for some reason I didn't find to be a problem with the BA200s. I also hated the stock dual flanges, and couldn't get a seal at all. I was trying to get...- knubbe

TDK BA200 Thread
I find the fit pretty good. The housing body is actually quite small compared to triple-BAs, and theres a ton of tips that fit on them. I haven't had the PFE in a while but the main difference I'd say is its treble, which is definitely sharper.- knubbe

Serious popping, clicking with USB DAC
While this didn't work for the OP, I found switching to a different media player worked. With Foobar even light browsing would result in the occasional pop or click, and I could definitely make it stutter by opening up a bunch of tabs at once, but with MusicBee this doesn't happen at all.- knubbe

How come $400 Ferrari T350 couldn't be much better than $45 S600's?

Earsonics SM64: The Impressions Thread
Splurged on these, figuring I could return them if I wasn't absolutely impressed. So far these seem like a keeper. Compared to the SM3: 1. Mids aren't as thick, but are still on the warm side. 2. Bass hits harder, to my pleasant surprise. Listening to some DMZ (my sub-bass test) and these...- knubbe

Closed. Flat response. Soundstage. Does something like that exists?
I don't think any AT phone could be described as "flat" either. That's not to say they sound bad, but they're generally a bit colored. I may be overgeneralizing a bit though, as I've only heard a couple ATHs. I know their high end consumer phones are more euphonic sounding than neutral.- knubbe

http://graphs.headphone.com/graphCompare.php?graphType=0&graphID[]=3571&graphID[]=3101 I have not heard the 940 but the K550 has pretty good, relatively flat bass extension. Denon D-X000 are flatter. The only thing about the K550 is getting a good fit/seal. If you have a small head I...- knubbe
