I own a Sennheiser HD595, which I like a lot. It's not perfect however. It's sensitive to sibilance, making some pieces of music hard to listen to (especially some pop songs with female singers, luckily I'm not that much into pop).
A while ago I experienced another problem and I am curious what word to use to describe this distortion.
It happens on the first track of the Brian Tyler "Iron Man 3" soundtrack, track name 'Iron Man 3' (in case you have another version with different track order)
It starts with a deep bass from a drum and coppers. As it progresses, big deep taiko drums are added in a quick rythm. Once trumpets are added these are horribly distorted, fluttering in the same rythm as the bass sounds. I guess this happens because the very powerful bass line is overpowering the drivers, distorting the higher frequencies. I am assuming it's not a defect because it's on both left and right.
A Sennheiser PX100 with much smaller drivers does not have this problem.
Luckily this is the only piece of music where this has happened, and the soundtrack is not very naturally mixed. All the symphonic classical music I listen to never exhibited this flaw.
But I remain curious what the proper term for this is. Anyone can help?
