And I'd say it's extremely difficult to mod them for accurate response, but fairly easy if you're not picky about flat FR and accuracy.
Again, they require modding, and it's not a matter of just throwing some stuff in the cups. I spent a whole year working on one of my Yamahas and there's still room for improvement.
I just want to append my praise with that disclaimer, because there's no point in going out an buying them expecting something easily amazing. It aint so... it takes dedication and time spent training your ears and learning...
I get the picture, that's qhy I will need to look into it, meaning reaading up on the matter here on the forums both to learn how to do it and if I want to go that route in the first place.
But suppose I take the plunge at some point, which Yamaha phones are considered the best?
I mean, I won't be modding a bunch of them, only one, so I would like to go for the top then.
You'd have to be careful about matching with the 4070 then - it can sound bright easily... took me a while to get the tonal balance right so it wasn't too harsh, and I've always liked the "monitor" sound. They're definitely different to the O2, but you did say you were looking for the opposite In my opinion, they compliment each other nicely.
Not sure what to think about the modded ortho scene. The modded phones Tyll has tested on IF measure pretty poorly save a couple.
ie you want the classic "clarity coloration".
