It doesn't matter how many times you can read and hear about how important the fit is with these, it doesn't prepare you for how much the fit can alter the sound. Wow.

 

[paradoxper]

Whoa... You aren't kidding. The mid bass especially is nuts. Really satisfying.

These tracks are donky. Love it.

I just posted a review of the 1266 TC on my YT channel:



Enjoy!

Is that the latest 1266? Sounds like it might be one level back?

Yup. Toe-out is the key though.

 

[jlbrach]

yes, I have switched to 3/9 and feel the same way

 

[WafflesID]

WELL that does it, now I'm wondering how much my SU-9 is holding me back. I'm toast aren't I? This is how it begins

Orientated which way? When they are on your head, are the arms angled forward or to the back of your head?

That’s the exact same fit I use. That little bit of pressure with the pads on the temples keeps the L/R balance perfect too. And, that bass. Subwoofers in your ear

However, like @paradoxper has said, that leads to the “TC effect,” where all other headphones sound bass-lite. It’s worth that effect though in my mind, but yeah, it really does ruin other headphones’ bass, in comparison

Just picture car wheels in your mind.

angled towards the back. Like an arrow on top of your head pointing at your face

 

[ken6217]

I have them angled forward so that they front of the pads are pushed closer to my temples.

I'm still getting a bit of a echo type sound, like if you cup your hands over your mouth and talk. Not nearly as strong now though. At this point I'm wondering how much is equipment/electrical/everything else.

I get that too if I toe out too much. It’s a fine line, but worth the effort to find that perfect fit.
