but radically changing what is meant by an established term is just counterproductive and confusing.
What you are explaining is that you prefer to have the standard "geek speak" presented to you, regarding how headphone sound is commonly described in every single review, here, and online, and in all magazines.
Well, i dont willingly speak that, and if this confuses you, then, i guess you'll be confused, as will everyone who needs to hear the same nomenclature used to describe sound.
Other people here write me and tell me, "can't wait for your review", and that is because im not going to sound like everyone else when i describe anything that is related to sound.
So, if 5 people here agree with you and need to hear the same words and need to hear every headphone offering the same sound as every other, then that is fine for this type of person.
Im not that person.
So, dont expect it and dont ask me to do it.
I can write the marketing hype type of headphone review that most here present. I know the language that you need and expect, but, as you are getting if from 90%, then just be happy about this... and do not judge me for not being
the SAME.
I dont do "same". I do ME. IF you don't like it, or if it confuses you, as you have stated, then read what does not confuse you, pthora...
No offense intended. But people who "get me" appreciate the unique. People who dont need "sameness" 2 feel connected.
Both types are valid, as ti take us all to make the world go round.....
Good to hear
But I
am curious as to why are you constantly in conflict (talking down actually) with others who have tastes, opinions or definitions that don't match your own? If you have
your own definition of "what's what", who is to deny that to others as well?
If i post and disagree with someone's review of anything, then this isn't me trying to be superior or condescending. its really just the power of my personality, i suppose, that sounds the way it sounds as you read what im saying.
I think that there are very few females here, because this (headphone obsession) is a male dominated world, and this site mirrors that., perfectly. None of the mods are female, and 99% of the members are males.
So, im not any of that, and so, im going to stand out. This can't be changed. It is what it is.
This suggests that listening to a female with strong opinions developed by 20 yrs of experience with recording and making music and working in the field of sound, is not something that the males here are use to having in their ears.
That 20 yrs is my professional life., while ive been a musician all my life. Im not just a listener, or a Pro Sound person, im a professional player.
Not too many of those here, and im certain im the only "girl"....
So, i can't stop being myself, even if someone or some feel that im over the top, or controversial, or rude.
Im none of this. Im just a professional in this area, described as "The field of SOUND ".
Some people here are well developed Audiophiles, with keen sensibility developed over years of buying and trying and learning how to listen and discern, and they have first rate descriptive skills and are all highly opinionated.
I'M THE SAME.
I use to be able to have wonderful private conversations here in my PM box, until someone attacked me online 2YRS ago, on the original "Aeon Closed" Thread, when i was being prohibited from using the forum because i posted some videos on "non music" Threads, taken from my Youtube Channel.
So, i heatedly responded to this person in their PM box, as i could not speak to them on the Thread, and they reported me, and AxelClorus locked my PM box, and has refused to allow me to use it for 2 yrs now.
He tells me that because i get reported on the forum on occasion, this precludes me from have a PM box.
Maybe if i was a BOY, he would relent?....Hard to understand why i can't have a PM box for 2 yrs.....
Had i one, then i could enjoy private conversations as i did before with many members here before, but, NOPE......
So, anyway, enjoy reading this, as some member will report it, and it'll be removed soon.
Then Axel will again tell me. "see" you got reported, so, NO PM BOX FOR YOU.
Crazy isn't it?
Welcome to my life here on Head_Fi.org
Thans for your opinion, as i appreciate it, actually..
Quick impressions after about 30 mins listening.
Airdpods pro sounds better than this even though I definitely prefer headphones to iems.
After I switch from lcd-1 to Airpods pro, songs sound more lively. I am starting to think that there is sizable roll-off somewhere in upper-mids/treble.
Its not that the LCD-1 are veiled, but there is a overall sonic softness, a roundness, that is reducing their articulation and attack.
I described it as a "friendly sound". and "analog"
Its not a bad sound, but, its not a sound that is going to sharpen details.
In some ways its almost like an "Anti-Planar" sound, as we expect a set of Planar's to grab and present more details, and not gently soften the edges instead.
You laugh, but you would be surprised at just how much these headphones scale up with TOTL gear...
...you would be surprised because they still sound absolutely screw*** terrible.
Nice Skull.
Just my two cents here, not directed at anybody in particular, but i don’t think it is very helpful for people to dissect, criticize and second guess other member’s impressions. Yes we are entitled to our opinion and we can disagree but to question impressions from people that are trying to help other members is just not cool in my book.
Well it kinda depends.
For example, lets say that people on the HeadFi are all waiting for a review of some recently released gear, like the New Aeon Open.
And so, we are all wanting to hear a valid point of view, so that we can begin to draw some conclusions.
And then, here comes "let me be first", and he is reviewing them while sitting on a Subway, traveling to Paris, and says....>"well, as far as i can tell, they sound pretty good, treble could be better, bass seems lacking in slam".
So, is this valid?
This person is listening to open headphones, riding in a Subway that is 110 Decibels of noise, needing to be the first reviewer, as that is all that matters to them.
And then, i say....."cmon, get in a quite room, take some time, then post".
And you say that if anyone says this to them, they "have no right to criticize"...
So, you can i can't agree.
But thats not a problem, as if we all agree then what is the POINT ????
Its within the disagreement that we eventually define what is the center of reality.
