Eh, I personally wouldn’t use open back headphones at work. They provide practically no isolation, so if it’s a noisy environment your music will be fighting to drown out the noise, if it’s a quiet environment it’ll bug coworkers who will hear whatever you’re listening to. Closed backs or in-ears are better suited, unless you need to hear your surroundings.

and the bottoms

uh huh. Don't fall off your soap box.

Hey lets leave the vegetables out of this smeg head.

I've read many posts about the Sennheiser Momentum 4 not working correctly. Decided to buy one anyway.

So far, I've never had any trouble with the connection itself. But in 'settings' in the smart control app, it often says 'no audio codec', and I get no sound. I have to reconnect a few times until it, for some reason, decides to select 'SBC', and then it works fine.

In the developer settings on my phone (Nokia 6), 'bluetooth audio codec' option is on 'force SBC'. The smart control app just shows the audio codec it's using, but you can't change it. Is there any way to always connect using the SBC codec?

Did you try all of HP out (8, 16, 32, 100, 300 ohm) with the Red October (300 B) or Nautilus (KT88) on Susvara?

Your own preference > someone else’s preference. Also keep in mind. The more neutral a headphone is, the more boring and cold it sounds to most people who just want to enjoy their tunes

I’ve used those to DJ for 20ish years, and I’d say they have just the right amount of bass. Sure they don’t cover the lower frequencies as well as HPs with larger drivers, but the sound signature on the 25’s work perfectly in the dj booth where I prefer to hear tighter kick drums.

The problem, if you’re not careful, is that you crank them up quite loud and not experience any distortion or immediate discomfort … which could lead to hearing issues down the road. I’m guessing this is what happened to you? You can’t blame the headphones though, honestly.

Dude will collab with anyone nowadays, SMH. /s

Yup it came with my Susvaras and I hate it.

My roommate uses the silver Dragon headphone cable with his Diana TC also a great cable.

Taking responsibility for your own actions is part of growing up.

I see that you are not quite there yet...

I'm showing you what the HD25 look like versus a headphone that actually has no bass, you turnip.

Has it ever occurred to you that I might not like the fracking K 701 either ?

If external noise bothers you, then don't do it. I personally think you should stick to isolating headphones because you aren't going to be able to full immerse yourself in the audio with Imagine Dragons blasting in the background, just saying...

Cable makes no difference and particularly not on a planar with a totally flat impedance curve as this does. If you went from a single ended cable to balanced, it's possible the balanced output on your amp is better but it's because it gives you access to that then, not because of the cable construction.

The stock Hifiman cables are annoying, although I think they might be better now on the more recent HE1000V2s. I have replaced the cables on all my Hifimans with stuff that handles better. Sounds no different though.

I am going to have to temper that with your user name to a degree. What ever shakes your float. I guess.

I love the hyperbolic arguers. They are so RIGHT. all the time. ooh yeah. Bite me.

Looking interesting , wonder if I can diy* it (probably not going as nice their is )if can't i could always get it.

The different HD25 versions haven't changed that much over the years, though. The older HD25-1 did have a slightly more pronounced midbass hump than seen in the graph above, by not by a huge amount.

Here are some older plots done by Tyll Herstens some years ago that feature the version you have against the K701 again.

This is a pretty good analogy.

Even with paper thin walls it shouldn't be audible in the next room, certainly not the point it would be irritating to them anyway. Maybe very faintly if you were listening loud and the other room was totally silent.

Never

yeah lemme get uhhhhhhh midrange, hold the music
