Ok,
It's been a year since i purchased these and they have been through a lot of dvd dolby headphone 2 movie watching.But their frequency responses likeability to Dolby Headphone is another matter entirely.This thread is about the absolute tonality of these compared to the Koss UR40(foam and kramer modded).
Sound Impressions :
Almost the same tonality of the UR40 without the midbass booom ,with slightly boosted upper mids;and minus the weird grainy treble of the UR40.Its still grainy but not weird grainy like the koss 60 ohm driver.
But the biggest plus : The bass control ! Boy ,does this 40mm philips driver hit the low lows.It murders the koss when equalized to boost the very lows(below 45 Hz).I boost 30 Hz to 45 Hz by about 3-4 db in my software equalizer and the driver never distorts or bottoms out when playing bass tests,test tones or during movies(unlike the koss driver which starts farting).The driver can actually handle about 10db of low low bass boost before it starts whooshing ! but using such extreme boost reduces the speeed of the driver in the treble.
Conclusion :Excellent headphone for bass lovers ! And its weird liking for Dolby Headphone.
Next Update : Pics of me wearing the HP805 in public !
