    Is audible channel imbalance normal? What's your experience

    I listened to the Sennheiser hd800 in a store, and that one was centered perfectly. And one of my T1's and hd700's was too, but then they both broke. Maybe I have bad luck. One of the three headphone amps I had I also had to send back because one side was louder.  I do see a pattern, maybe I...

    Is audible channel imbalance normal? What's your experience

    Maybe it's a bit in my head, and sometimes I do correct myself that it is the separation in the song itself.  But I really do seem to notice it. The voices in movies are almost in the center, but when it pans to one side, I notice it a lot quicker on the side that seems to be louder. I also...

    Is audible channel imbalance normal? What's your experience

    Hi,   Almost everytime I put on a headphone and listen to it for a while, I notice an imbalance in the headphone with certain frequencies. I have had both the Sennheiser hd700 and the Beyerdynamic T1 and T1.2. I send both of the headphone brands back when I had them because of this. It really...

    New Beyerdynamic T1 (2nd Generation)

      It was measured only once and with professional equipment. I measured them at a company that makes headphones, hence they had very expensive equipment. It has a maximum error of 0.01db if I remember correct? It had a fake ear, but nog a fake head to place the headphone on.  The man that...

    New Beyerdynamic T1 (2nd Generation)

    I had the T1.2 measured and it did show a 4db difference in the 10khz. I don't think it's my hearing, since one friend of mine heard the same thing as me with three of my headphones. Anyway, I'm selling the T1.2, so not a problem anymore ;)

    New Beyerdynamic T1 (2nd Generation)

    Is it normal that almost no headphone has a perfect match in frequency response? Because I can hear it on almost every headphone, but on the other hand I almost never hear somebody else talk about it.  My first T1.2 had an audible difference, the right side sounded louder on some higher...

    New Beyerdynamic T1 (2nd Generation)

    My statement that they sound cold and analytic to me, I can take that back some. They can sound warm, but because of the spikes in the higher frequencies, I hear distracting instruments that have a higher tone. I don't think that I am really into bass songs, it's just that I don't like it when...

    New Beyerdynamic T1 (2nd Generation)

    I previously had the Sennheiser hd700, which also had an annoying peak.. ;) So maybe my problem is buying too expensive headphones.  I used an eq program on my computer (hd700), and I accidentally did something wrong with the in and output setting. The consequence was a real loud sound out of...

    I think they do better with classical music, like the numbers from Hans Zimmer. They sound more engaging and full. All the songs you listed don't have any real sibilance or highs that aren't centered. But the rest sounds a bit analytical and cold te me. Why me, Planet P Project: The high hats...

    Thanks! I'll give it a good listen tomorrow

    What song it is doesn't really matter right? I want to see if a song you listen to sounds off to me. A song you know well. Then I can point out what I'm hearing. I guess I like the album 'The Switch' from Emily King'. But these songs sound good on the T1.2's.    Edit: Ok, just a random...

    I have it connected to a Marantz hd-dac 1, which has quite some power. It has a 600ohms setting, and I never turn the volume up more then 35%. I use Spotify premium, but have the same issues with lossless audio. On my ps4 with optical is does sound a better, although I can't make a good...

    New Beyerdynamic T1 (2nd Generation)

    I had my hearing checked (quick 0.5-4khz test), and it was excellent. With 0 being perfect hearing, I scored an average of +5db (5db loss). That's almost a perfect hearing. On 2khz with my right ear I can even hear 5db louder then perfect. (-5db) On my left ear it was +10, so that's a 15db...

    New Beyerdynamic T1 (2nd Generation)

    I'm trying to change the way I'm used to listening to music, which used to be pretty loud. These headphones sound great at lower volumes: very clean, precise, great separation, airy and deep. It's just that I can't put the volume up loud because of the upper mids and highs. I read that this is a...

    @plakat Thanks for your reply. I'll keep it this way then.   Could someone take a look at the measurements of my T1.2, and give your opinion if you think the imbalance is acceptable? The more pronounces S is pretty distracting.. A 5 and 3 db difference at two frequencies, is that...

    New Beyerdynamic T1 (2nd Generation)

    I have mine connected to the Marantz hd-dac 1, but when watching movies and playing videogames I need one meter extra in cable length. I still had a 4.8 meter extension cable from Grado (50 euro's), so I'm using that now.  Can this be bad for the sound in any way? I would like to use a one...

    New Beyerdynamic T1 (2nd Generation)

    I got my T1.2's measured with professional equipment and an artificial ear. The equipment has a maximum error of 0.02 db. I got them measured because the sound is a bit louder on the right side on some higher frequencies, and because of that I also hear a bit more sibilance. Sometimes I also...
