DESCEND, DESCEND!! not ascend!! .. we don't want to confuse the angels in anyway!!!

Thanks to the people who post changes in direct comparisons to a control headphone before and after burn it.. for example HD650 vs other HD650 or even HD650 vs. Other headphone, this is part of the scientific method. I got my HD650 yesterday used. i compared them with my senn HD430 from the...

i got the same impressions you did in your K601 comparison when comparing my MS220 and my K240 (these two sound the same) vs. my K702. yes 702 is more detailed, extended and refined, makes sense, but also a different sound signature esp between mid bass and low mids. after A//B ing a lot...

Hi, thanks for the post. I got mine a couple weeks ago. They are awesome. I also got my M 220s because the earpads on my k240 S were cracked but mine still work fine. My k240 S are older Austrian ones. I think they sounded almost identical. The 240s are slightly better but I realize that the...

also, i the K551 has a less fatiguing Hz response curve than the K553, ( harsh treble bump) discussed previously in this thread. check out the curves if you can find them..

i finally realized that the person i got the k553 from had taken out the foams that cover the driver that sit under the pads. i put those back and and in the meantime another day of burn it and a friend contacted me about wanting them so i sold them without really being able to see how much...

got a pair of HD430 locally today , not expecting too much.. i love them to death.

my k553s have the white plastic ring that covers the holes around the driver, but there are 10 holes it looks like, not 3.. in any case they are all covered. what people dont like about the k553, the treble peak is what really annoys me, usually the vocals and solo instruments sound...

thanks for the direct comparison ! oddly yesterday a K702 was listed on craigslist really cheap here locally so I'm going to go take a listen today. I'm not concerned about the bass at all. sure i like bass, but the music is in the mids and i don't really like closed back bass but it sounds...

it would be great to try out the k712, but in the end i want a mobile solution and from what i understand the K712 is not that easy to drive. i kind of think, but cant know until i hear it, that the high mids and low trebles on the k712 is going to bother me, similarly as it does on the...

i will have to continue to revisit these things in my mind and ears and maybe over time i will have a better understanding of the relationship between my ears and the machines that measure Hz response and also the relationship between what i like and what other people like. maybe because i do...

error post -is there a way to delete posts one has made in error?

thanks for your replies and the graphs.

my point is that you cant compare other people's listening experiences to your own.. ..what is considered good to one person may not be to another.,,, same with women's beauty.. and yes you can compare any two things to each other if the basis is your own two ears, nothing else really matters...

seems like these graphs demonstrate my preference. maybe for some reason i hear more like 'measured' than ''apparent"" because that seems to be what i described in my last post as to what i hear about recorded music... http://en.goldenears.net/13746 k550 http://en.goldenears.net/17565 k240

thanks for your response. have you heard the K240? my goal is for a mobile audio solution, so i am try to stick with headphones that work on phones etc. this is why i think my next can will be the monoprice monolith 560,, because it is a lowZ can 32 ohm can ( havent found sensitivity info) ...

thanks for your much more detailed response.. yes the treble and mid comments you mentioned reflect what my ears are complaining about.. otherwise just my opinion but: my ears agree with everything you said (it doesnt matter what the graphs say, in the end it is the ears that tell you your own...

i put the stock(original) pads back on almost right away. the k553 are way too bright (for me, for my taste or ear canal maybe , not anyone elses). . i just got a pair of akg M220 delivered today. from the last massdrop. i like the M220/k240 a lot better, love them. . the instruments sound...

any feedback yet on the m220 and comparisons? im getting mine thursday from the recent mass drop

i got a pair of k553 cans about two weeks ago. they had aftermarket earpads that were very thick and soft. they had a really good seal..you could really feel it on your eardrum as pressure. i thought they were very bright, with very thin, tinny mids, big bass. out of balance. i hated them.. i...

does replying here count as a post? or do new members have to post a new thread?
