Mainly driver but your right that energy is also stored into baffle or headphone frame.

It could well be that your IC's block more then the sennheiser does! had the same problem with grado sr1's; the highs killed me. The drive is better then the hd650. But with good amping, the hd650 comes very close. it seems that alot of people who cannot stand the highs on grado's all love sennheisers. But, if you can stand the highs, the sr1 is a good headphone the gs1 is even improving on that. it suppose to have better highs, not as sibilant and better, deeper controlled bottom. So, yes, sennheiser needs a new dynamic champ. To bad the sr1 is sooo expensive over here, at least 800 euro's vs the 400 euro's for the hd650. And i think they are pretty much in the same ballpark. |
