  What is the Pandora Hope VI like? I haven't seen any thorough reviews of it yet, but I keep forgetting it exists so I haven't bothered to look.

Here is a review for the Hope VI. I am not really good at describing it so shall not mislead anyone. The SQ itself is good but only down side is it might not be comfortable enough for everyone.

Yep compared to the two beyers, the Yamahas, the akgs, and the fostex, they sound ..... Muffled and hollow. It's weird. The dt990 pro surprisingly can output the same amount of bass while keeping the vocals esp female pristine.

But do you really, honestly place it below the HD201 in terms of SQ? I just can't fathom that.

Could be based on comfort or other things as well.


Yes actually, tho I do use the he400 more, due to the sennys being a little weird fitting. The he 400 is actually very comfortable. Now what they do good is the bass, no denying that by any stretch. The dt990 surprisingly can do more bass, like detach retinas hard and low bass like can't use the bass booster on my amp concussion inducing skull cracking bass.

Grado 225i. My flag ship.:)
Yamaha EPH-100. Best iem I have ever owned.:etysmile:
°Audio Technica ATH-PRO500MK2. Good on the ear for on the go.:L3000:
°Koss PRODJ200. My closed back preference for home use.
NVX XPT-100. Best comfort of all my headphones but if they had a slightly decreased soundstage,they would behind the 225i.
Koss UR40. Cheap build,short cable,bass sounds plastic. I still think their overall sound is good for their price.

°they both sound the same to me but the 500 has better build qualities and clamping force.

Nice IEM list (well excluding the Audiofly). I like the Coppers.

Thanks, I like the Coppers after the EQ bass reduction. 


Oh yeah . Gotta do that with practically every single Monster IEM with the exception of the Nick Cannon NErgy.
