Headphoneus Supremus
I've had the RR1 Conquest Premium for a couple of days now.
Some early impressions:
• 2nd best treble/bass separation I've ever heard (below Sennheiser HE-1, and just above of T+A Solitare P)
(treble/bass separation = no loss of treble volume while the bass is slapping hard - almost all headphones fail this test - only HE-1 can do it 100% perfectly)
• medium/small staging
• imaging is fine
• sounds like a 'headphone', not a STAX
• kinda reminds me of HD650 tuning and staging
• why is an electrostatic headphone making this much bass? o_0
• timbre has no hyper-realism or veil - VERY safe middle-of-the-road sense of realism (extremely good timbre)
I think it is objectively my current best headphone.
(Subjectively it can't tick every box - I am a soundstage junkie and part-time basshead.)
I think bass comes from strain on diaphragm.
The more strain, the less rumble of bass.
Dust covers sealed the air both side (no strain on dust cover so it will not produce sound). I guess audio may be more detail without it
