Too rich for my taste currently, but not impossible to see an 800s in my future

Wow! just wow!

I've been using the Seeaudio Bravery's and the Fiio Btr7 for about two months now and let me say I'm blown away! The Bravery's are very well built and feel good in the ear and hand. Very clear sounding midrange but the lows and highs sound a little boring on some tracks. Besides that, they are a very clean and enjoyable iem to listen to...

The Btr7 is absolutely amazing! It can achieve substantially loud levals of volume and it never gets too muddy at high volumes. I normally use it directly plugged into my phone because I like to get the full lossless quality out of my music. On the other hand, the Bluetooth works quite well and on the rare occasions where I use it is enjoyable.

Thank you for reading!

I always found my 650s a little bass heavy and muddied. Give the hd800 cans a listen. They're the super clean and a little less bass heavy than the 650s . Highs and staging are beautiful on the 800 . I've never heard the 800s model , probably just a little more refined.

Years ago I remember there was a link on the sennheiser web page to your own headphone readings using your serial number . Not sure if they still have that on there.

Also context

Serious? Last I checked when I was shopping they didn't, so guess that's nice

Cable looks nice is that the default or aftermarket?

Thank you so much! I'll give it a shot.

So ABX test would be listening to two sources and then randomly listening to one of them again to see if you can distinguish if it was A or B. You can open two windows, stay with me here, listen to the same point in a song on each tab then resetting to the start without looking using Alt tab to skip between tabs and then, here’s the tricky part, you can HOLD alt tab for a period of time which causes it to rapidly jump windows, randomising the window you land on. Then you can listen for a third time and then draw conclusions.

Sample rate isn’t everything. Layman’s terms lossy codecs strip bits of the file away to keep the “important” part but reduces file size by getting rid of less import parts. Different codecs do this in different ways meaning you can get one that sounds better at a lower sample rate.

No I haven't.

Do go on and explain it to me in your own words

Being snobby isn’t on the message, it’s on the delivery of said message. Carry on.

Again you haven’t heard of alt tab which allows you to do a blind ABX test?

Isn’t AAC only at 256kbps max? Btw, YouTube Music’s quality is also at 256kbps, max. AB’d Spotify and YTM, can’t tell the difference.

Let people enjoy their music, man. And maybe be more respectful in giving your opinions.

Ended up trying the SR60e at the Schiitr, and it was next to many higher end headphones, including Grados own higher end GS2000 and PS2000 or some variant of those. The SR60e sounded so much better than those two, I couldn't believe it. I don't know what Grado did to the high end models and perhaps the less said the better... but the SR60 is legitimately an awesome sounding headphone for the price.

Yup, saying that there’s no point spending a bunch on a dac and amp when you’re using a lossy source is being snobby.

Lol knew it.

You have the unmerited confidence of someone who hasn't actually attempted a blind ABX test of Vorbis @320 versus FLAC.

I genuinely suggest you try it.

Nah dude, people don’t like snobs and jerks

People don’t like common sense I guess

I tried AB-ing Apple lossless and Spotify before. While I do believe there’s an audible difference between the two, I wouldn’t label Spotify as an inferior streaming service. Their algo in making playlists is topnotch, and their interface is much more user friendly and appealing compared to AM. And at the end of the day, I concur with OP - you’re there to listen and enjoy the music.

You haven’t heard of alt tab I’m guessing?
