Thanks a lot, will do
Awesome, please do keep us posted! It's particularly the sub-bass that's a lot louder, not necessarily the mid bass. In fact, I think the mid bass is a tad recessed on this headphone (or maybe I'm just used to hearing exaggerated mid-bass from the SRH-840s and Momentums and these are brutally accurate)
Damn, that complicates matters further, but it's comforting to know that the Khaled ones sounded different again. That hopefully rules out the idea that they started using the DJ Khaled drivers in the new standard ones.
So today, I went out to yet another store and heard the H6s again. This particular store had an insanely good price on them too and I was ready to buy them, but I didn't (reasons to follow). These had been unboxed in the last 6 months (I asked) and they had the extra bass again. I truly love these headphones, they are so damn wide for a closed headphone, I would say that they are about as wide if not wider than a HD-650 or similar. It's so spacious and gorgeous sounding, blows me away. The highs and mids are to die for. My only reservation in terms of sound is the mid-bass now, is it recessed? Hard to be 100% sure.
Either way, these are the best sounding closed headphones I have heard right next to the Shure SRH-840s.
So I planned to go and check out Addicted to Audio in Melbourne and audition the following headphones next week before buying one:
* AKG K545
* Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6
* Denon AH-MM400
* Focal Spirit Classic
* Ultrasone Performance 840 & 860
* Anything else the guy offers me
A2A told me they can match the price I found and they have all the colours available (this store only had the blue colour). I'm very interested in how they compare to the AKG, Focals and Denons in particular.
Has anyone compared with these headphones directly?
