100+ Head-Fier
holy crap I think I'm experiencing what this guy experienced...
I'm in my early 30's. Is this really a thing? It would all make a lot of sense considering the Apple Dongle fails to properly reproduce the headphone's full capabilities. It was essentially masking this high frequency problem. Then when I plugged it into a real amp that fully powered the response, it essentially magnified whatever is going on. It’s super weird too because I’ve experienced fatigue with bright headphones and these are not. They sound rolled off to me like it does others so I don’t even know how this is possible. Did they boost ultrasonic frequencies or something? lol
Jesus I just bought a $1500.00 headphone that makes my ears bleed on anything more than a dongle.
Any chance this is a unit specific problem rather than the whole line? Any young people out there have these and encounter this challenge?
Yes it's unit specific. I got a unit with this same ultrasonic issue and it made my ears bleed. I got a replacement and the current one I have is A-OK!
I would love to see what this reviewer would think if he got one without this problem.
Hope you can get a good one!
