100+ Head-Fier
My dad is a musician, classical guitar player. He has recently been trying to record some stuff with a zoom recorder and c1000 mics. All he has ever had to listen to his recordings are awful on-ear headphones from 20 years ago. They are sennheisers, I think an early 400 series, but I have always been amazed at how bad they sound. Like, seriously horrendous. Bloated, loose bass that drowns out what semblance of highs there might have been. Pretty much no body to the midrange whatsoever. Additionally, these need amping to even be audible at a decent volume, which he doesnt have. His only alternative is some terrible koss earbuds that he bought from london drugs (he has a phobia about buying things online, and he lives in a small town).
I got him to try a pair of philips shp9500, and he was blown away. He looked at his headphones and I swear he looked like he was about to throw them out the window. In my head, I'm thinking just wait until you try the x2 when it shows up.
