Headphoneus Supremus
Own them as of today.
Have spent a few hours with them.
Overall Tonality : HD650 world meets Planar-land, carefully intersected with a healthy dose of very sweet musicality.
Verdict : warm, sweet, nicely detailed sound, that suggests an overall sonic signature that flexes more in the direction of "sounding musical" then outright "reference sound" sterility.
The bass is handsome and plentiful. Mids are neutral + warm, and the treble is uniquely detailed in that it is quite revealing, yet also sounds polished and lightly smoothed.
If there is such a thing as the perfectly mild "V" shape, then this set of headphones has a touch of this within its sound.
The designers of the HP-3's abundant bass response deftly created it to perform in such a way that the low mids impart a sense of warmth that binds itself to the mids and upper frequencies. Because of this, what would have been a more surgical type of sound presentation becomes a musical presentation.
I was expecting more of a dynamic sound, but actually this beauty struts slightly more on the Planar side of the street, sonically.
Who will love it? Listeners who want to wear headphones all day without fatigue and just lay around in the sweet sound and enjoy a bass response that is confident.
Who will not love it? Anyone who needs their headphones to be "all about the Treble".
Comfort is 8.4
Cables are the color of a peppermint stick and very flexible, and you have a choice of the long one and the 3m.
Headphones are pretty, build quality is very good, and the price for these is now less then $900USD, which makes their cost equal in value regarding the sound they offer.
