I'm one of those who tends to "hear" the frequency response--that is, my subjective impressions correlate almost exactly with the measured response, which doesn't seem to be the case with everyone. For instance I found the Beyer DT880 Pro excruciatingly bright, so wasn't surprised when I checked Headroom to see it had a huge peak around 8kh. Now I'm about to take delivery of a used K701, but I see it has a similar response to the Beyer, a peak around the same area, and I'm thinking it's going to be way too bright for me (I currently use an HD650). I haven't checked all of this thread, but I wonder if you or anyone could comment on how much brighter the 701 is than the 601. |
