I ask this because the board is full of things like:

Ok... the debate is pointless, and it's tiring to see it going on again and again in this place.
Sure, Grados have a peak in the high frequency response, but a person prefering them or prefering Sennheisers makes no comment on their hearing ability. It speaks only to their preference on sound, and you can not possibily hear how they hear it considering everyone's ears are made differently and we interepret sound differently.
It's been argued that people that suffer from sensitivity to high frequencies will prefer Sennheisers, and people that have suffered some hearing loss in that range of hearing would prefer Grados. Sure, that may affect a person's preference, but one can never know how the brain interprets sounds and the way we identify what sounds good to us.

Dude1: I like Sennheisers, they are more neutral Dude2: You must like rolled off highs... get Grados to hear the details. Dude1: No, those give me Grado fatigue! |
