qudelix5k and use the app to give yourself a nice bass shelf :)

I didn't mean they're worse objectively, just that they sound the worst to me.

Sennheiser HE-2

Talk shit to 12 year olds playing rocket league if I’m being honest 🤷‍♂️

I think it is an indirect measure of distortion / harmonics. If a sound / impulse lingers it is like echoes.

Happy if somebody more knowledgeable can explain it better

Everything else is snake oil and placebo, obviously.

Literally anything.

Scrolling reddit, playing games, doing programming, whatever. Just listening to music without any distractions is great too, much better when you really want to focus and enjoy the music itself. but if I only did that I'd listen to maybe 10 songs per day max, not 100+.

Has this claim actually been tested? This sounds a lot like conjecture

I wish there were more affordable digital to digital dsp boxes. There's one from minidsp but it's not cheap. It's hard to swallow paying that much for EQ when it's free on windows. I already own an element III so would prefer something that is just dsp in a box.

lmao

Yeah same. I can't work on stuff and listen to music at the same time. Either the work distracts me from the music, or the music distracts me from the work. Same with exercise. Can't listen to music while exercising because it distracts me too much.
Music gets its own time slot in my day.

Right champz.

On the other hand I have a hard time getting into a coding flow without music

>most of the people here haven't even tried higher end headphones coz "i cAn eQ mY hEaDphOnEs"

Or, y'know, maybe people here don't have $10,000 to drop on headphones?

I’ve never had much luck correlating it to any audible quality of a headphone, personally.

In this subreddit everything is irrelevant as long as you use an Apple Dongle and you can EQ...

Mostly play games without important audio, get baked, scroll Reddit, or research the artist.

It shows you how damped the driver is. Cool too look at, but irrelevant.

The only two relevant measurements for headphones are frequency response and distortion.

Ok really? If you're cranking volume up to 70% of maximum just to be able to hear it you really should see a doctor about it. Most generally decent people here would say the same thing - hearing damage sucks and losing it would be even worse.

Did you know these eyephones are phones too?

Kovaaks

Kph30i with grado pads?

I think the 660S is not veiled at all, especially if you EQ it doesn't sound that different from my Hifiman Arya treble response. I think the legend is mostly about the 650/6XX which are definitely darker in the treble. I think even the 600 is not veiled.
