Hi,
I didn't know where to post this so I put it into the help forum. This is probably a very silly question, but I just don't know enough about audio equipment to solve this one myself.
I own the HD280 PROs and KOSS RUK30 phones. I power them via the FiiO E10K. First of all I love the HD280s and would always rank them above the RUK30s by a long shot. They are very revealing and a pleasure to listen to classical music with them. The KOSS just seem to muddle everything up. What I don't understand is that I simply can not enjoy the song "Korn - Did My Time" on the HD280s. The emotion in the song just does not come across. I always switch to the KOSS when I want to listen to this particular song.
What could cause the HD280s, otherwise great headphones, to fall so short on a song that is over-compressed and not melodically complicated.
Thanks - T
