I couldve lost track of mentioning these were just early impressions. If I were asked “are you giving an opinion or are you blind testing and taking measurements?” then I’d just say “opinions only”. But getting asked what I think and then reading that what I think doesn’t matter unless I have a decibel meter and an assistant to conduct a blind test, seems like getting shut down. Really, anything anyone here types here should be assumed opinion and conducted in the least scientific way. How many people buy measuring equipment and conduct audio experiments? If the number is more than 10% then I can see how it’s valid to try and collect scientific vs non scientific, but my impression is that it’s a number closer to a fraction of the number of people making YouTube videos about headphone gear compared to the number of people watching them. So like 1 in 50,000?
