How wide is the sound stage on the DSR9bt Around the head or a little bit further? How about overall volume lets say using the m50s as a reference?
Hi
Has anyone who's had hands on experience with these headphones also tried the ath-msr7's ,are they very similar from a size/construction/comfort point of view,I imagine they will sound different because of the new drivers but in pictures they look very similar.
I ask because I'm struggling to find some comfortable full sized wireless headphones,best so far are the beoplay h7 and pendulumic stance+,which both sound good(stance sounds best)but get uncomfortable after about an hour(for different reasons).
Just tried the DSR7BT at a trade show here in Singapore, some initial thoughts, coming from an MSR7 owner.
First noticeable difference is the must stronger and more visceral bass. Anyone who goes between the MSR7 and the DSR7BT will also notice that the DSR7BT has lack of the venting ports in the MSR7. This probably locks in the bass, and it now the midbass is more present, and subbass texture is also improved. Some might find it to be slightly less neutral as a result, and shifts the sound signature to that of a slight U shape, more musical imo.
Midrange, as a result, seems to takes a slight back seat, becoming just a tad more laid back, but still retaining a nice, full sound. The direct drive technology also improves detail vastly, a lot of microdetails are now very present.
Treble extends well, and has a great but somewhat emphasized texture, typical of the AT house sound. Also, here you will notice the microdetails being more present and forward.
Soundstage loses out to the MSR7, as it's now a fully closed back headphones. However, it still has some semblance of space and height, depth could be improved.
Seperation and imaging are stellar, nothing more can be said.
One of the biggest qualities to note is the fact that even though it runs off a bluetooth connection, it's got much better detail retrieval compared to some wired cans, due to the direct drive technology.
It does get a bit hard to drive, however, so volume might need to be raised a few notches above the normal.
Overall, a truly fantastic pair of headphones, one that I'd definitely consider for portable wireless use.
They sound different. I have the MSR7, and tried the DSR7BT at a trade show. Thoughts in a previous comment.
Thanks for that I must have missed your post,nothing I've read about the sound quality of these headphones has put off trying them,it's just the comfort I'm concerned about.
Thanks,I'm probably just going to order them from somewhere with a good returns policy,just got to decide between the 7 or 9's.
