FYI - these are going in and out of stock at various retailers for those looking to get it sooner. Best Buy currently has it available to order without an estimated delivery date, though I assume it would ship quicker than Apple.

It’s been funny for quite a few pages

how do these compare to the beyerdynamic dt 1990 pro?

iOS 14.3? When you click Continue on the Headphone Audio Customization popup screen where does it take you?

Yes, and just cycles me back to the test which I already took and accepted. On APMs.

How dare you find more enjoyment in the sound of $450 headphones over a $1700 pair. You must not be educated enough.

I know right? I even downgraded from the LCD-2 to the TH-X00 as well. What was I thinking?!?

Downgraded being the important word there!

Hmm. Is it weird that I am finding myself too attached to my LCD2C and Schiit stack to sell it? I don’t usually get sentimental about tech but I don’t wanna sell it. And I don’t want to return my APM. And I don’t need 2 sets of over ear cans.

What did you do for audio on the move before your APM? Many people own a wireless headphone and desktop setup, they are very different things to me, can you not keep both?

Do you find yourself liking one more than the other in any particular genre? Or across all genres? It’s tough to get rid of headphones when it offers something another doesn’t. Do they both offer something in sound the other doesn’t? Forget convenience for a moment.

why not keep both setups?
I'm sure a majority of head-fiers have more than one setup.

If you look at Crinacles headphones list you'll see price isn't exactly a reference for sound quality. Many much higher priced headphones are rated lower than the supposed overpriced Airpods Max (B-)
https://crinacle.com/rankings/headphones/
This list ranks headphones as an average for tonal balance and technicalities, not sure though if this also represents his own (guilty) pleasure.
I understand why for instance the NightHawks are rated low (C), their tonal balance is rather weid, but I love their sound. It could be that crinacle has a favorite pair that is ranked relatively low on his own list.

Upcoming live Q&A, at 8:00 PM EST, with a reviewer who had praise before of the APM in the noise cancelling category...

Yes, I realize by the spectrum of products he covers he sounds like a fanboy or something, but it may still interest people to hear.

Interesting that he grades the Panda worse than the APM. Granted there may be some preference playing a role in his grading scheme.

And look at how inconsistent pricing is across headphones down the ranks. I wonder too how different the order would be for any one of us trying all these headphones on the list according to his grading criteria.
