How the heck are you gonna put that on a mattress or underwear and make it comfortable?

Imo they don't even have bass.. They just vibrate lol

Ear piercing treble though

Exactly

beautiful bracelet where is your Etsy link

That's what they are now, not back then. I bought them from the only importer at the time and guess what ? They gouged me. The film industry was full swing and people over charged.

The amount of effort OP must’ve put into this 😂

Those things aren’t that easy to wind to begin with

Plus, if you listen to them for 4-5 hours a day your neck will look like the neck of an f1 driver in no time

For any earphone with sufficiently low distortion (any quality one worth considering at any price) it is not an issue. Beyond that the micro detail is just smaller peaks and dips in FR.

I wonder if this puts less strain on the ends of the cable

Is it balanced?

I’ve got a few full size headphones and a few good IEMs. I’m honestly not sure which one has the “most detail”. Focal Elex, AKG K371, 7Hz Timeless AE, Etymotic ER4SR, Truthear Hexa, and AirPods Pro 2’s is what’s in my rotation. Maybe I’m just not able to hear detail as well as some others with golden ears. I’d think that most would assume that the ER4SR would have the most, and maybe it does, but I don’t know.

The two I’ve been using the most lately is the Timeless AE and the Hexa. The Timeless is $260, and the Hexa is $80. I’m not sure that I’m really hearing more detail with the Timeless over the Hexa. I know that the Timeless is the more fun sounding one in terms of impact and fun treble extension.

I think the "hearing things in songs" factor is more a matter of how the headphone's tonal balance emphasizes or de-emphasizes various things in a mix. Even shit headphones can be EQ'd to emphasize the same things, assuming they can reproduce the relevant frequencies without serious distortion.

"detail" to me (and these kinds of subjective terms lack any concrete definition outside how each individual interprets them) means lack of "crud" for lack of a better word, like reverberations, resonances, "grain", etc. Stuff that doesn't lend itself to easy EQing.

I've considered that and I think it definitely does happen, but I have also found myself not paying attention to music on new gear and doing something else then suddenly I'll prick up at things very distinct that are new to me. On songs I've heard 100 times.

Nice

Not exactly. But probably pretty close.

I feel a similar way when people describe drinks as having "body" lol. I'm sure it's a real thing but I don't know if everyone is describing the same thing

Thanks for the, ahem, detailed answers

Only your waller.

They could just call it "schlorp", to be honest.

Thank you! I’ll look them up for available specs.

Any good wireless headphones for under $250-300? I just want a good pair of headphones for gaming, streaming and work.

Fair enough. It definitely does get confusing when terms are used differently by everyone

The best thing since sliced bread.

Yup. Should be fine.

You'll hear a helluva lot more treble, that's for sure. It's not really how headphones are "supposed" to sound but more power to you if you like it.

Thanks!

Primate paste?
