    BW PX7 vs. DALI IO-6 vs. Sennheiser Momentum 3

    Sadly, neither the PX7 nor the Dali worked for me. The former sounds atrocious and hurts my ears with its sound (probably due to my having to turn it up to hear everything clearly); the latter hurt my ears with the small earcups and the unpadded headband. The Dali sounds fantastic, and I would...

    Io6 vs PX7 vs Aonic50 vs Qc35-2

    I have owned both the PX7 and IO4, and agree with you fully. I would add that the former had an impressive soundstage, too, due to the earcups. Unfortunately, I had to return the IO4's since both the headband and the earcups were uncomfortable. They were the best sounding headphones I have ever...

    The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value

    Would that be the IEF Neutral Target? I compared with the AKG371 (which I own) that are said to be really close to the Harman target, and the difference seems to be more bass (AKG371) and treble (the HD560S has several db more treble between 3k-5k). Everything I see graph-wise about these make...

    The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value

    That's exactly what I reacted to, as well. But since there are no examples provided the words don't really mean anything. What is "resolution" for instance? What is clarity? What is "presentation"? Oluv plays songs and compares to other headphones, which we can hear playing the same songs, then...

    The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value

    A common theme seemed to be that the HD560S was not intended for the likes of them. I didn't quite get why or what their specific preferences were. Someone noted that they wouldn't sound neutral due to the potentially harsh treble; someone said that they wouldn't provide such high definition as...

    The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value

    So have you listened to the recording of the HD560S in the video, and do you think it accurately displays the relative difference? Does the treble in the recording seem harsh? If the recording seems harsh to you, but the actual headphone does not, that would be interesting!

    The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value

    Listening to Oluv's review, I'm unsure whether these would make a good replacement for my HD58X. I think they might be too harsh in comparison and lose some of that natural timbre. Listening to the string instrument in the audio samples to my taste HD58X's "muddy" representation sounded very...

    AKG K361/K371

    I really wish these would have some headband padding. That would make them into the perfect mobile headphones for me. I only use them on long bus rides, and can get over the poor isolation, but the lack of padding is an issue even after adding some myself. Sometimes, but not always, my ears get...

    The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value

    That's great news! Looking forward to him releasing that video very much. I have the HD58X, which are great, but a bit bassy and a tad uncomfortable at times (I wear them for several hours at end and think they might contribute to my headaches with their ghastly clamp). The 600s are too...

    The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value

    I'd be really interested in hearing how the HD560S compares to HD58X, which is the only Sennheiser that I own. Upon watching DMS's review I was really tempted to buy these, but having read the replies here it doesn't sound like it would be that much of an upgrade. From the comparisons that I've...

    AKG K361/K371

    The DT770's provide better isolation, if that's important to you and are sturdier. The K371 are more comfortable (except for the headband, which just cuts into my skull) and have better (as in more neutral/balanced) sound. To me the DT's sounded fatiguing and had annoyingly recessed mids...

    AKG K361/K371

    Good idea! I also contemplated buying a DT 770 headband replacement, since their headband was really comfortable, but I don't know if it would fit. The Dekoni products are a bit too expensive for me, though. I also don't know if they ship to Europe. I'll have to look into that. Any ideas for...

    Dali Headphones

    I must say I reallly loved the sound on these headphones! But in the end I had to return them due to comfort issues: the headband was too narrow with too little padding for me and the earcups are too small (my ears are just below averaged sized (yes, I've measured them)), so I would get a...

    AKG K361/K371

    Bought them, tried them. Nope, not for me. Sound's great, but the comfort is atrocious: the headband hardly has any padding whatsoever and gives me an instant headache, as soon as I put these on. It seems impossible to find comfortable closed-backs with big enough cups (absolute minimum of 60...

    Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone

    Yes, I saw those measurements. But unless I'm mistaken, aren't the 60x60x22 inner dimensions of the Dekoni's the same as stock? If so, they'd still be too small for me. The Brainwavz XL seem to be 65x65x30, so I'd assume they would alter the sound signature significantly? I read in the DT880...

    Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone

    Has anyone tried these with some bigger model Brainwavz pads (or similar)? Having listened to the DT770 and read about the DT1990's I'm tempted to give them a listen, but the standard DT pads are a tad too small... If anyone has tried bigger pads - how does it affect the comfort and sound?

    AKG K361/K371

    Having listened to the DT770's it seems I'm not bass phobic after all. The bass is fantastic in these, but in a natural way that doesn't sound artificial. The one problem I seem to have with their sound is that the mids just... aren't there. In some tracks it sounds like the singers are placed...

    AKG K361/K371

    How would you compare them? Not having heard either of them yet, I'm just going by what I've read someone here mention.

    Size Matters - Earpad hole measurements for Over-ear Headphones....

    Getting into the headphone game again after many years, I've found it nigh impossible to find something that fits. I always thought my ears were on the small side. I just had them measured: appr. 60 mm x 40 mm. Apparently, the average size for human ears is 63 mm. So how come all these horribly...

    AKG K361/K371

    Thank you! Messages like these really help me in choosing headphones! I've never been much of a headphone guy (my speakers have always been better and I've prefered listening to them :)), but ever since I started moving a lot, I've started using headphones more. I soon realized that anything...

    Dali Headphones

    I bought these headphones a couple of days ago, and have tried connecting them to both my phone and my computer via BT, which seems to work fine with only minor glitches at times (which I guess are due to the BT connection). But when I connect them to my computer (using Manjaro Linux) via USB I...
