What do you prefer?
Also is there a can that is analytical and warm?
I remember seeing a graph which put in a lot of cans on a scale of this but don't remember the location of it.
Anyone who can link to it = great

You know better than that, chinesekiwi. Both! Buy ER-6i and C551. K701 and HD600.

That said, most of the time I prefer the warm, fun cans.

 

[Tridacnid]

WARMTH!!!!!!

 

[kool bubba ice]

Cold, sterile, analytical.

 

[El_Doug]

neither! i hate both polarizations - theyre not fun to listen to for hours

 

[olblueyez]

I like my cans warm.

I prefer a perfect medium not warm or analytical. Too much in either direction takes increasingly becomes is a sound that will get old over time.

the hd600s are fun and warm but also analytical.

If I were to pick among your 2 choices, it would be hard. It just needs to sound closest to reality for me to be fun

I totally agree here.

Since the perfect can hasn't been made yet though... we have no choice but to pick one that sounds closest to the real thing.

neutral so i can eq it to either whenever i feel like it.

I agree with Rob here, but if I had to choose I prefer slightly warm over slightly cold.

I've never heard a phone I'd describe as cold, fun, or analytical.

With regard to warmth, I've always found that relative.

With regard to preference, I've never thought about any of this stuff.

i like slightly cold but not necessarily analytical. I like the fun phones (es7 and grado). I also have er-6i's and I prefer them slightly over my UM1's which are a bit less detailed and more neutral.

Can you describe the sound you get from the hqeadphones your selling?

In comparison to the AD700:

Clearer. Maybe wider. A touch warmer. There's a nice sense of space in the middle, and the bass is more present.
