yeh thats what im saying, maybe all headphones show sibilance due to recording but more expensive earphones show sibilance more because they are simply more revealing.
^this is just a theory tho, it could just be a headphones problem, hardware inside the headphones maybe. but your never going to agree with that are you lol oh and whats hass? i thought you mis-spelled hiss but you done it more than once so is that a word that hasnt crossed me?
headphones that emphasise the highs alot tend to reveal more sibilance naturally, it does not matter how much you say its smooth and balanced that dont mean it dont become sharp now and then, like i said 90% of phones do, its just a part of the technology that has not been smoothed out perfectly yet. audio at this very moment is not perfect! we like to think its perfect but back in the 90's when the playstation was released, we thought it was perfect, then came ps2, that was perfect aswell, couldnt imagine it got much better, them comes the ps3, damn very good, surely it cant get much better but...inevitably, it will.
audio has been the same for years, new technology being made, then that technology is honed and honed and honed until the next best thing comes along, as much as you say yes...its perfect. its not, and this is the reason a lot of us neglect the word perfect, we see this as just a silly word that dont help our choices get any better because when you say aww its perfect, we already know that is not true. it might be very very good but theres always going to be improvements in the future because nothing is perfect.
sorry but its a bit annoying now. the triple fi was brilliant but not perfect, it had issues and we lived with them. the se530, thats not perfect, the highs arent as good as some would like, still, we live with it. the IE8, thats not perfect, too much bass for some even on lowest setting. for this reason this is why a lot of us are saying its not whats best but what you like best. and sorry but the westone 3 may reveal some sibilance that effects some listeners enjoyment so instead of saying over and over that its perfect and not sibilant how about just suggesting a few ways they can improve the sibilance and maybe a few tips on how it can be solved, not only would this benefit the westone 3 listeners in here but it benefits listeners of all headphones, rather than just saying there isnt a problem all the time.

But again I never heard sibilance on W3 even when I listen to Vitas, treble is smooth and balanced, not aggresive to me at all.. If you are talking about listening to bad recordings then any type of headphone will give you sibilance since it was oriinally recorded like that. |
