-one of the variations made my k701s sound like the best i've heard in headphones making me question if they're really headphones.
vocals sounded smooth and warm and meaty. highs are smooth and a bit of sparky. bass was deep and smooth. sibilance was there but it didnt bothered me or sometimes it felt like it was suppose to be there and sometimes its enjoyable.
-another variation only sounds like a more meaty ad700.
-one variation which is extremely rare, bass is not bloated but i actually felt it rumble on my head. its not clipping or distortion.
-one which is like the rumbling bass but with highs missing.
-one which is really wierd no highs no mids and no bass. sounds lifeless. sometimes theres a more meaty version of this. this one here confuses me because i never heard anything like this. sometimes the volume is extremely low.
-another variation people mentions on headfi, thin, dry. hard smacking in your ear and listening to it pisses me off. no dynamics. rough sounding. sounds like its trying to grind me up or something.
-sometimes decays from cymbols are different. sometimes going "ksssssssh" or "kaattsssssh" or "KACHHHHSHSH"
- sounds with this type of wave seem to be easily seperatable " { ". sometimes my k701 had no trouble seperating waves like
this " ( " and other times its cant pick it out. this wave " { " was never an issue with anything. notice the curve wave " ( " and pointed wave " { ".
these are the variations i remember. these are all tested with the same volume and gain setting. with the same songs over and over again.
my room is very quiet. i posted this issue on on headfi hoping to obtain some semi helpful information a while ago and people made fun of me. semi trolled. say that what im experiencing is not possible at all and all placebo effect (atleast this sounds reasonable). i've read about psycoacoustics and various place effects on sound. yet im still experiecing these variations. either im going crazy, somethings up with my ears (i checked almost 3-4 times a week i hear from 20hz to 16k). somethings wrong with my HRT MS2, my m stage or my k701.
or maybe my k701's drivers are damaged or wearing out. my k701's always sit on my table and have never taken a hit from any substance like food or liquid and never dropped on the floor or any surface. i always checked to see if hair is touching driver as well. i got this semi OCD thing. i even unplugged all my components once in a while.
as for my settings its HRT MS2 at max volume, matrix m stage at 10gain (didnt mistake the black for white) with volume knob at 9 o clock of every song ( i even put a piece of white tape cut into a shape on a triangle on the position of my listening volume).
sorry if i sound like im in a bad mood or something because last time i posted the same thing in hope of useful information only to look like a fool. most likely my experience is placebo or component issues. to me these variation are too different to be called placebo. i am not on any medication or drugs. i have no illness or what so ever. i dont do drugs, smoke or drink (yea call me a looser). so my physical health is out of the question.
as for usage i use it everyday from for 4-6hours. sometimes even 8 hours.
PS - and anyways this is a m stage thread so sorry this post.
