    Focal For Bentley Radiance Headphones

    An "open-box" pair arrived today that is pretty obviously brand-new. There is a very significant imbalance in the bass region between 60hz and 170hz. It's way off to the right in that area, sounding mono below and above. I swapped the L & R pads between each other to make sure it's not a pad...

    Audeze LCD-X

    I'm sorry but I got them at the same time as the LCD-X, since I always need a closed-back for certain situations, and I decided on these because A) I know the Beyer sound and B) they have a Sonarworks profile unlike the Elegias I've been using for a while. But I've barely listened to the 1770s...

    Audeze LCD-X

    I've had these for a week now, wearing them all day listening to music but mostly doing mixing/writing work. They're so God damn clean. I can hear absolutely everything in the spectrum, and it feels great having the confidence that I'm getting an accurate response. Weight was scary at first but...

    New Beyerdynamic T5p 2nd generation

    Thanks for the quick response. I actually own the 770 Pros, do you know if those are the same size pads as the 1770? From eye-balling it, it looks like the 770 pads would be too big for the T5P cup, but I'll trust you if you say they fit. Edit: the only reason I'm hesitant to try without...

    New Beyerdynamic T5p 2nd generation

    I just got these today, since the price has come down recently. So far I'm satisfied with the overall sound. About the amount of lows and highs I expected from reading some reviews + knowing what to expect with the "Beyer house sound." Better resolution and spaciousness than Beyer's traditional...

    AEON, MrSpeakers' New Closed Back Planar Magnetic Headphone

    Hmm... I'm in the U.S., sent them a picture of the deformed right earpad and mentioned the channel imbalance. They just gave me an address to mail them to, to have the pads replaced. They didn't offer to cover postage nor did they acknowledge my concern about the channel imbalance. They did...

    AEON, MrSpeakers' New Closed Back Planar Magnetic Headphone

    Thanks for the info. Do you have to pay for that repair or is it free under warranty?

    AEON, MrSpeakers' New Closed Back Planar Magnetic Headphone

    The right earpad on my new pair of AFCs has become considerably deformed in just 4 days of use. It did have a strange sort of fold on the side to begin with though. Waiting to hear what my options are for support. Also, the vocals, kick, bass, and snare, are all off to the left on every track I...

    AEON, MrSpeakers' New Closed Back Planar Magnetic Headphone

    Hi @mrspeakers, firstly I'd like to applaud you for your transparency and your no-b.s. approach to marketing, price-points, product-cannibalization, and end-user customization. I received your Aeon Flow Closed today from a brick & mortar+online seller from Virginia on a good open-box deal. I'm...

    Neumann NDH 20

    JFC get over yourself. Your advice has nowhere near the value you think it does. You don't even read. Everything I've talked about with regards to the NDH 20s has been in the context of mixing music. It's what I do for a living and what I've done for 15 years. Nearly every person who doesn't...

    Neumann NDH 20

    Timbral accuracy is bad for orchestral instruments, that's where I focused the most of my attention. Maybe you or others could find it pleasing, but if you want accuracy, you will not find it. The somewhat severe mid scoop kills any chance of that. Details were hard for me. I couldn't pick up...

    Neumann NDH 20

    I've spent a good amount of time with these now. I wouldn't recommend these for reference use. Not at all, especially at this price. They sound like they have a pop preset EQ applied to them. That's what the frequency emphasis sounds like. They just don't sound natural. This is impacted further...

    AEON, MrSpeakers' New Closed Back Planar Magnetic Headphone

    Is the 'half gain' part of the equalizer setting? If so it could just equal 0 boost but 0 reduction. Often that's how it works... for instance the bottom gain amount could be -6db, half would be 0, and the highest would be +6db. If you're at +0 gain but the cinema EQ is boosting the low end, it...

    Neumann NDH 20

    Been listening for the past 6 hours (with breaks) since receiving these. Comfort sorta sucks. Gotta start with that. Bad for big heads and/or big ears. Clamp is tight and the pads are just a really poor shape/material for applying a balanced amount of pressure around your ear. The other...

    MrSpeakers Ether CX - $899 from Massdrop

    @mrspeakers Are these the flattest closed back you make? Curious which of your closed backs you'd consider best for mixing. Thanks.

    Neumann NDH 20

    Reading all the impressions outside of this forum is just as much of a roller coaster as this thread. Most of all, a *very* stark contrast between two reviews from the same classical musician on BH. The good review came after the bad review, fortunately. With that said, the potential upside...

    Neumann NDH 20

    This thread confuses me. Half of it reads like an advert for a miracle weight-loss pill. More than half of it has nothing whatsoever to do with the headphones. Half the opinions are very specific about the ways in which they aren't neutral, and the other half of the opinions are unspecific about...

    Fostex T60RP

    I meant to return these to Amazon due to the widespread bass rattle issues, but missed the return window. Now I'm stuck with them, which may actually be a blessing. I do have the bass rattle from ~30hz to ~120hz, but only notice it in the test, not in regular use (not even in Jamie xx's 'Loud...

    Audeze LCD-2 Closed

    Reading a lot of very favorable impressions of these. Does anyone have experience with both this model and the LCD-XC? I just returned my pair of XCs due to the unreliable high-end. Lots of severe peaks and dips in the ~ 4k to 12k range. So I would want something far more neutral than the XCs. I...

    AUDEZE LCD XC

    Unfortunately, after the initial excitement / honeymoon period, these didn't work out for me. Primary reason is the unreliable high-end. It's kind of all over the place, peaking and dipping a lot throughout the 4-12k range. At least to my ears. Correcting this with Sonarworks just seemed to make...

    Closed Back Cans around $1000

    The Elegia isolates relatively well, is comfortable, is neutral for a closed-back, isn't fatiguing, and has the best resolution of any headphone I've ever heard. That would be my suggestion.

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    I use the 3 meter cable for the Meze 99 Classics. $20 on Amazon in the U.S. https://www.amazon.com/3m-Cable-Classics-Walnut-Silver/dp/B0756FZHTT#customerReviews 3 meters is a bit long, but i'd rather have it be too long than too short in a studio setting.

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    I love these. To reply to a few subjects discussed in the past few pages: These sound pretty close, frequency response wise, to my pair of high end reference monitors. Perhaps I'm just lucky with a good match (the monitors are Sceptres), but I've never heard reference monitors and headphones...

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    I've had a properly functioning pair of these for almost a week now I think? I predicted a honeymoon period after which I'd be less enthusiastic, but the opposite is happening. I'm appreciating them even more. Perfect lows, rich mids, and crisp highs. And God damn, the dynamics are so, so good...
