Yep, I'd like to hear that too. It would be a sure fire way of wasting pleasurable listening time on a fruitless mission.

Take it out on 4chan or something.

What is 4chan?

 

[Ishcabible]

Have fun! Now leave.

Proof of Troll.

No, better does not exist. If an audio setup does 20-20khz, it is subjective after that. Nobody is really right or wrong. I'd consider a KSC75 as good as a HE90 as far as sound quality goes.

Because you've never heard HE90s

Weren't you the guy running K1000s of a Big Joe amp? Do you really think you know what K1000s can sound like?

That's not correct. The hi-fi norm doesn't even claim for 20 Hz–20 kHz. But what's more important is a flat response, although it's hard to interpret it in the case of headphones (→ HRTF). It shouldn't have spikes and dips (spikes being worse than dips). Sharp spikes represent resonances and result in perceived hardness or harshness. They aren't even visible on standard frequency responses, since those are smoothed for better interpretablilty. Another, important quality criterion is harmonic distortion. It has a strong impact on transparency and clarity. Furthermore there's transient response. It is highly frequency dependent and affected by membrane geometry and material, also by inner reflections within the earpieces as well as between membrane and ear. And it's hard to measure. It affects soundstage, imaging and detail resolution.

I ran it out of many different amplifiers.

True but I've tried many different headphones.

So you can't make an informed comment about the sound quality of the HE90.

Nor would I want to. I haven't heard a Sennheiser headphone that I liked. Judging by what other people say about it, it seems I'd dislike it thus the same. I guess in order for you to be satisfied with my argument, I'd have to try all the headphones in existence. But if I am perfectly happy with the headphones I currently own, there is no real point of trying any others. I moved on to speakers. The AKG K701 resembles exactly what perfect sound quality is for me. I wouldn't change anything about it currently.
