Anyone else do a comparison between the AirPods Max and the HD6XX?
I am by no means an expert...but I daresay I am experiencing a slight bit more clarity with the AirPods Max. It's almost like there's a slight cloudy layer over everything when I switch to my HD6XX...very subtle and I don't have the audiophile vocabulary to describe it accurately. The APM just sound every so slightly more clear to me, like there's just a touch more detail. Maybe the HD6XX are a bit warmer?
I like the sound of both. I haven't done a lot of testing. I used a couple tracks from the recent Eminem Album and couple from Billie Eilish.
I'm curious to hear if anyone else is hearing the same thing as I am.
I was using Apple Music on my iPhone with the APM and Apple Music on my iMac with a small Fiio amp with the HD6XX. I listened to some with noise canceling
and some with transparency mode. I didn't turn on the EQ on in accessibility on my iPhone and EQ is flat on iTunes on my iMac.
