Seems interesting but I couldn’t follow along and it’s impossible to read their list afterward unless you’re such a nerd that you know how all headphones look like.

I really found the raal ca-1a impression interesting.

I wonder which hifiman they put in the S category….

This comparision is not objective, they just follow "feelings", ananda stealth and ananda nano in C What, and edition xs in B, the ananda family sound much better of edition xs.
If they dont like air and detailed sound just eq the trebles... these headset are for technical listening, if you pay this type of prices mean you wanna listen every detail of the sound, ananda nano is very similar to Arya that is one of the best headset in the range 1000-1500 eur... but you pay it 700 eur, for me ananda stealth should be in A, ananda nano in S because is very similar with sen 800s but in some things like soundstage ananda nano and imaging beat sen 800s at half price... arya is just a little more detailed and confortable... but not so much to justify the double price.... the step over ananda nano is arya organic at 1500....
If you wanna a "funny" unbalanced sound just buy Sundara or something else, in fact the price is less.... for me this video is completely wrong and no sense.
And not all the listeners get tired from "sharp" sound, i listen for hours and hours, also the ananda nano that for these youtubers is so "sharp", isnt true, ananda nano have bass similiar to audeze bass... and this headset with burn in will sound in other way.... i think they just dont try enough the headsets... i will follow other reviews, more technical, like some magazine, instead of youtuber that think to be expert....

Yeah they said it. All those ratings are without EQ. Nonetheless, I still don’t know which headphones they did put on S and S+.

Im just curious. I don’t rely on their opinions to be the holy truth. I’m really just curious and don’t want to spend 2 hours listening to the whole show to know which ones were placed in top of their list .

My opinion is without eq, other thing to take in consideration, this is the reason why many audiophile now dont trust in "burn in", because there is the adaption of your ears, with time your ears will be confortable to listen a headset instead of other, you have just give the right time, the first times you will feel bad and annoying... for example from sundara to ananda because sharper, but i can tell you that when you back you will say "what crap music i listened before", is happen to me, the difference between me and these youtubers for example is that i feel a headset for more of 100 hours... and im not a fan of some brand....
I still trust to burn in, is a mix of things, my ananda nano are changing hour after hour.
Im listening from this morning the ananda nano without eq, dont need, ananda nano is very balanced sound, follow the harmon curve, just trebles are boosteed like headset after 1000 eur.... to give a sound more detailed and give a boost for example is genre like eletric or rock, because guitar for example you feel very sharp, i like it, they dont need eq.

I advice to you the ananda nano, you have a senheiser 800s at half price, now is the masterpiece under 1000, if you wanna until 400, many will say sundara.... but edition xs and ananda stealth have the same price of sundara now, so just take ananda.

I do own the Nanos….

But I could never work with them without a massive treble EQ.

But it is the consumer curve so I understand why it’s tuned that way.

give the time to adapt your ears, use lower volume, you should listen your voice or with time you ruin your ears....do you use with some cable or dac, amp?
Or you use on pc?
Your hardware change the audio of headset.

 

[Phidel]

Nano + EQ = Best choise possible.

I have them since July.

I mix and master music. I don’t listen for enjoyment. Everything is eq’d even all my studio monitors .

What eq you like?

 

[martel80]

What eq you like?

The one I received after my specific pair was measured by Sonarwork. It’s a custom EQ not tuned to the Harman curve.

Nano is a great can, I’m really happy with it plugged to this combo and with this cheap cable.

 

[Enther]
