I actually agree with this to some degree. I don't think he was making the claim "best ever". That claim doesn't belong to any single headphone anyway. There are many phones that are at the very top and do different things well.
I wasn't looking for neutral phones, but all my colored phones went away except the GS-1000s, and I'm left with the K-1000 and HP-2 which happens to amazing me at each listen even though I've owned them for a long time. BUT the GS-1000 is a nice compliment for it's particular coloration (that a word?).
Although my taste is like yours in that regard, I know that many don't tire of the colored phones. SO, I have to say that there is nothing wrong with coloration in general, and it's more about preference.

It might sound good in the beginning, because the coloration brings some elements and details forward. But after a while, you will know that it sounds wrong. Like those audiophiles that spends 100000$ on their system and haven´t spent a $ on the acoustics... It might sound great with that coloration on CDs with a low amount of information, or bring the dynamics forward. But the soundstage and details are compromised due bringing other things in front. I was thinking of getting the PS1000, but it seems like Alessandro MS PRO is a better headphone for me. Even tho PS1000 are "the best headphones ever". |
