Headphoneus Supremus
i'm not interested in this or that attribute of a headphone, I JUST WANT 'ACCURACY" simple, so that's what i look for when auditioning any headphone. I've said it once and i'll say it again, i have listened to nearly every lauded headphone out there, the Grados, the Sennheisers, the Denon's, the Beyer&Wilkins P5, plus any and everything ever lauded, and very few of them approach perfection, practically none of them to date, the best three i recommend for the closest to perfection that i have heard is the Ultrasone HFI 580, the Skull-Candy 'Aviator' and the Shure SRH 550, the rest can go jump in the lake where they belong.
While I appreciate them for what they are (they are quite fun for their bass response), the HFI-580 are far from an "accurate" headphone. There are a number of ways to look at accuracy, and they don't measure up to many of them. They have a very V-shaped response with very subdued mids, so their frequency response is far from accurate. If overall detail resolution is what people are looking for in accuracy, there are plenty of headphones that are better than them merely by stepping up in price; even the HFI-780s in the same line have a more refined sound (and are actually currently cheaper right now). And as far as transient response, the cheaper Grado SR-80i and all more expensive Grado headphones are definitely superior.
Other than that i can see there are some reasonable people in here who are mature minded, that's fair enough, i like that, Peace on earth! BUT DON'T TRY AND TELL ME 'HOW' TO SAY SOMETHING! Go find a murderer instead and put him on death-row, i'm not interested in walking on egg shells, just speak your damn mind, i wanna hear if you believe an opinion is sheer crap, tell me, i wanna hear it.
OK. That opinion is "sheer crap" to use your own words. Either (a) you don't know what accuracy means or (b) your listening preferences are so far off the norm that they are not valid for most people. :rolleyes:
