Compraison of the HE90/HEV90 with the HE60/Stax SRM-007t and Lambda Pro/SRM-007t

- HE90 : very detailed, wide soundstage... so good you don't feel like you are wearing headphones

- HE60 : good soundstage, a little less detail and dynamics, but a fun sound with a very tight bass - very enjoyable perhaps more than the HE90...

- Lamda Pro : not bad, but not as refined as the HE60 - sound is blurred and flat in comparison

In conclusion : the HE60 offers an excellent cost/performance ratio when paired with a good amp. The HE90 is the ultimate headphone for critical listening.

Wow. This is the shortest review I have ever read - especially considering the subjects. Looks like a lawyer wrote it.

I thought the he90 had deeper bass than the he60. But the he60 is the more fun out of the two and the he90 the more refined.

But I do think the one area where the he90 is special is upper level dynamics.

It is crisp, there is snap.

What amp did you use with the HE60 ?

It's pretty sick when you actually say 'not bad' about something as unbelievably nice and expensive as a set of Lambda Pros. What would you say about the MDR-R10, or the SR-325i, if Lamba Pros are 'not bad'?

Yeah, the HE90s are that good it's sick !

nice; i like the short review. i think people feel pressured around here to make detailed observations about soundstage, highs, lows, mids, all that; and i'd wager they fill in the blanks a lot to try and make the review sound good.

ANALYSIS PARALYSIS...........anyone hear (pun) what i'm saying?

Oh please don't misunderstand I am sure you are right. I just thought the he90's had deeper bass and lesser impact than the he60's. I am not experienced enough, so I am probably wrong.

As we agree that the HE90 is more refined, this must apply to the bass also... I guess the sound signature leans more towards the bass on the HE60 than the HE90.

Gaijin>I think the refinement comes from the midrange. But depending on what you use as a reference can to judge all other headphones by then it is relative.

The he90 is fast but not as fast as the Qualia's, sa5k's, he60's. The reason I came to this nooby conclusion is because the decay rate is faster on these phones. The he90 decay rate to me at least is a fraction slower.

I use the Grado Hp-2's as a reference phone. Not because it is organic or warm. But because of it's technical ability. You might use your he90's or a different phone to determine a headphone.

The he60's are close to the hp-2 bass decay rates some might say on par.But the he60 does have tighter bass than the he90's but the he90's goes lower. It's more of a preference thing. Personally I would like a little more tightness in the bass of the he90's to near the hp-2 or he60 levels.

The he60's have the attack and decay which make them fun and fast.

I think too many people get tied up the he60/he90 debate.

The he60's ae a good headphone in their own right. So are the he90's to compare the two is like comparing the cd3k and the r-10.

I basically completely agree with GRW19.

..... oh, and I do find the HE60's fun. But I find the HE90's orgasmic. Sometimes too many orgasms can drain you...

If you get this, I don't have to explain myself.

What you use the he90's to watch adult movies

I thought the he60's would of been a better choice as it's faster....
