Haha good way to recycle old gearIts actully a good idea since the lack of a sparkly top end will protect her hearing. I don't mind if they are not neutral, as long as they are not like MOAR BASS BOOM BOOM BOOM. After getting used to the havi it seems like there is a HUUUGE midbass bloat on the ue 6000 that i never noticed before.Its a travesty that the VSD3 at its price point blows the UE6000 away in terms of details, instrument separation and clarity, considering I paid 3-4 times the cost of the vsd3!! That's what makes me hate the ue even more LOL
As for the dolphins and Takstar Pro 80, I would be able to get either one thru penon, but getting the brainwavz pads gonna be a pain in the rear. Thank you for the heads up on the HM5, I am not looking for a lifeless flat headphone, just a more balanced oneU saved me from buying that one. Almost bought it until I read your post haha.
Would you mind comparing the dolphins and pro 80 if you don't mind? I value your opinion and would greatly appreciate your input
I suppose everyone hears things differently. I find the UE6000 to be the complete opposite. I find it to be rather well behaved in the treble area. As for the hate, the UE6000 is way overpriced and performs poorly compared to my VSd3 and Havi. The 6000s smears frequencies and everything sounds veiled through it. It is more tolerable in active mode but what little details it has is lost. It is not really comfortable either (to me). Listening to my VSD3 or Havi for a few days and going back to the UE6000 is like listening to a cheap run off the mill headphone you can buy at convenience stores. Granted the ANC is a bonus feature on flights and stuff, but it has no other redeeming qualities in my eyes. Again this is all in my opinion and ymmv.
To me the treble is too polite and it has a mid bass bloat that honestly offends me LOL. Even in passive mode. I used to love my headphones but listening to good headphones has turned me sour against it. Lesson learned I suppose. Do yourself a favor and give one of the sub 100 gems a try. It will rock your world believe me (if you haven't already).
They are alright at best imo. Nothing special and much better headphones can be had at much cheaper prices.
thats the other thing its good at besides ANC. In active mode, edm sounds exciting but I prefer a more detailed sound for vocal trance and such. I find the VSD3 to have a better and detailed soundstage and makes all my EDM music really come to life, without sacrificing details.
I'm 26 mate so my hearing is just fine thank you very much
I don't know. I've heard more detailed headphones and IEMs that in the beginning give impression for a better sound but after a few minutes of listening I get a really bad headache. The other way I measure how treble sounds is how I hear real world after I take the headphones off. If the headphones have excessive treble after I take them off everything sounds dull for at least an hour - it doesn't happen with UE6000 .Probably the way UE6000 are forgiving to a poorly recorded material and I can listen to a much wider variety of music than with a more treble happy and detailed headphones is what makes me love them. I can listen to them for hours. Probably everyone has a different perceivable frequency response with their ears (mine are less sensitive to bass and more sensitive to treble) ...
