This bright individual discovered a great way to display the differences in sound to people. How did no one think of this before?

YouTube - HD650 vs DT770 rap

 

[M3NTAL]

because that doesn't really work...

 

[fluffygdog95]

That was my attempt at sarcasm. :c

 

[royalcrown]

Epic.

 

[dan1son]

That's fantastic. He should've mashed the headphones together to get a better 'seal' around the amazing microphone he was using.

They really thump.

 

[fluffygdog95]

He had to have some space to prevent clipping...DUH.

Okay, of course it doesn't work completely, but I don't think it's a complete disaster either. Even through my crappy computer speakers I can hear that the DT770 is drier, less euphonically coloured and has more punchy bass than the HD650. Which is what you would expect the differences to be. Perhaps with a better setup, such as a dummyhead with microphones you could actually create a database of samples that would give a very approximate idea of what certain headphones sound like. At the very least you could give total noobs an idea of the variety of sound signatures available from headphones. Of course, when playing back those samples through your own equipment you'll end up colouring them again, so in the end even the wildly diverging written listening impressions are probably a better guide, but there is at least a bit of merrit to it...

I agree. it could be a good system to get a aproximate sound of a headphone. especially accross different brands.

on Home Theather forums, ppl who don't believe in projection screen screenshots always say "taking photos of a projection screen is like making a mp3 of your speakers"...well, guess what...he's done it!

I thought the HD650 had recessed highs? haha

I like your sig.

 

[krmathis]

Because it is totally worthless!

Duggeh, I could not resist placing that fantastic line in my signature. It was one of the first things I have read that actually made me laugh.
