1000+ Head-Fier
Since I now own both headphones, it would be nice to compare them.
I am still a bit of a noob with headphone terms.
I am sure other people might have had the chance to compare them with one another. I am really proud to have them both.
First I tested the GS1000 in unbalanced mode, I found out that the Gs1000 really needs the balanced gain to be adequate enough to compare it with an unbalanced Hp-2!
I compared my Hp-2 with my balanced Gs1000 and I found out that Gs1000's soundstage adds more levels to the bass. I feel that the bass is more alive with the Gs1000. Especially when hearing the bass of live Bob Marley music - Bob Marley Babylon by Bus (with reggae music you can hear a continuous bass which makes it really good music to compare a headphone bass). For the mean time, I can't add any other sound characteristics (that's why I am a bit of a noob).
I like both headphones very much!
I would like to compare a balanced Hp-2 with a balanced GS1000, so I will certainly send my Hp-2 to Moon-Audio for balanced 3-pin Xlr termination (I can't do it myself and I tried the DIY forum as well) in a couple of months.
I don't know if a balanced Hp-2 will out perform a balanced Gs1000.
Sometimes it's hard to compare headphones, especially when they are so good in sound. I don't know if the bass will get better in levels after balanced termination (just like a balanced Gs1000 generates live bass after balanced operation).
