Hi,
I wasn't sure which subforum to ask this, but I've wondered if the increased treble response of the HD800 would compensate for my diminished hearing towards the upper frequencies? A frequent criticism of the HD800 is that its treble can be relatively overly bright, but considering that high frequencies (i.e. > 6 kHz) need more dB to sound equally loud as mid-frequencies (i.e. 1kHz) to my ears, do my old ears alleviate this unwanted characteristic of the HD800?
And just out of curiosity, am I missing much from music by basically being deaf to frequencies above 10 kHz?
Thanks.
