Headphoneus Supremus
Ohhhhh, I was searching for something like that a long ago, then I somehow forgot about it but good thing you bring it up again!Hyde00: If your preference sound-wise is for Grados, I’m not sure you should go for the D7200. The D9200 is most likely the best Denon out of the current line-up methinks
If you really want something closedback with a sound signature like Grados have, there are only really two viable options that I know of, and they come in the form of the Shure SRH940 and the Sony MDR7506.
There was a member here a couple of days ago searching for a closedback Grado or ‘closedback with forward vocals’ - something to that extent, and he ended up getting the 940, which was pretty much exactly what he was looking for
Yup, found the thread:
https://www.head-fi.org/threads/closed-back-headphones-with-forward-vocals.961358/
I have previously tried to replace my D2000 (ear pad died, can't find good replacements) then I came across SRH1540 and thought it was pretty good.
Didn't know aobut the SRH940 will definitely check it out. Funny because for the longest time I thought closed back Grado is like unicorn or doesn't exists.
EDIT: I took a look at that thread and your explanation is spot on! I did previously did it as a test on headphone that I thought sounded "muffled" and I boosted 2khz and it indeed fixed the issue. At the time I didn't fully understand I just EQ by ear and found that worked. But your explanation in that thread made a lot of sense!
Someone in the thread mentioned Sony MDR CD900st my friend brought it up once too, so this is the 2nd time someone mentioned it. Would have any experience with it by any chance?
Awesome, thanks!This is the one I have with mic and SE termination - at 30 bucks it's a no-brainer, IMO
