Could you just tell what is making them garbage for you?

I remember this thread - wow the suspense is killing us. It would be funny if, after 5 pages of build up, Lindrone gave a two word review - "They're Crap." It won't beat Grado's answer to the leather/pleather/vinyl debate ("Leather.") but it's close.

All in jest, I'm looking forward to the drama concluding as much as anyone else. Who knows, they might be the next DT531s.

to me, they sound muddy, shrill, muddy, and did i mention muddy? most of the ones i've tried (about 30 in total over the years at my computer lab) tend to honk at higher volumes.

Muddy... ok... yes... maybe i dont know what muddy sound like?! would you explain for me? sorry for being so slow...

 

[tennisets]

Muddy means poor instrument seperation, everything bleeds into each other, rising notes are poorly defined and often decay is overdone and obscures detail. Here's a way to recognize muddiness: listen to a track you are very familar with on your A900s. Listen to the notes, and how they are defined. Then listen to the same track on your Yamahas. The notes should be much less clearly defined, fuzzy if you will, and a lot of detail will probably be obscured. That is how I, at least, would define muddy and how I would go about recognizing it.

I'm quite new to the world of audio, but I've found that most of the lingo you all use means exactly what it sounds like it means

Words like "dry", "muddy" and "bright" made perfect sense to me once I listened to some higher-end equipment

 

[SilentServices]

i was sarcastic, i was asking EdipisReks for HIS description of Muddy.

BTW tennisets you explain the muddiness characteristic perfectly

I did compare the A900 with the Yams, the A900 are more precise then the Yams for sure, but it dont makes the RH5MA muddy 1 sec. Listen some old koss... now THATS muddy... but the RH5MA are able to reproduce a good % of what the A900 can give. Sure it is not quite the A900, but the fact that i would be happy with only the Yams speaks for itself.
