Headphoneus Supremus
To add a bit to my very short statement from yesterday (it was already late...):
I really don't understand where this frequency response diagram comes from. Especially this upper bass hump is most definitely not present, and I'm very sensitive to things like this. There is no boomy bass, but if that statement comes from someone using the XM3 as a reference point, even stating that the XM3 is "more balanced" -- I think I can file that under solid nonsense.
I do like good measurements like Tyll did them at innerfidelity. He was also able to explain measurements in detail, i.e. he did understand what those diagrams said. And he also understood what they don't say. This dubious website does not show any trace of this deep technical understanding unfortunately, but throws around diagrams and numbers in a way to suggest they are definitive and clear evidence. Far from it. To me, this is just some random tools in the hands of fools -- sorry, I'm not usually that harsh in my statements, but this kind of "reviews" I'm really fed up with. I don't even think they actually listened to the Aonic...
But whatever... I should simply stop reading commercial reviews.
