Pfff theyre all just jealous of my muscular neck

This thread is quite shouty.

Just ordered the 1570s to the UK. Hope the import tax and delivery fees are worth it! Also bought a hip dac2 to go with it since I don't have an amp or dac.

Sparkle.

Wish I'd known that!

ehhh the Nio is pretty damn slammy

Flashback to the time I used it in school and the teacher red circled it like I made it up :(

Audeze LCDi4

I choose the m1070's after trying a side by side with Sundara's

If your looking for closed backs I would go with the M1570C, I've never seen them this cheep

IER-Z1R got that thermonuclear lung slaughtering bass slam

I use it all the time in emails at work! I tend to write either in either bro' talk or very proper English.

Is there any problem of using "Although" or "Even Though"?

"Measurements"

This or the 6xx if I have meze 109 pro, n5005, p1 max, kz zs 10 pro?

Amps are Cambridge Alva duo, fiio k7, and xduoo ta-22

sibilant

Audeze is on a different level

Final e5000 begs to differ

Thank you very much for this very detailed response. I have a really good idea now on what to expect from them having listened to each of the headphones you mentioned.

Much appreciated!

"veiled"

All right, who is going to tell him that IEMs can have mid bass?

Depends. They all have different strengths and weaknesses. In terms of resolving abilities, I would put them slightly below Sundara but above Phantom or HE5XX. Slightly above Verum 1 or HE400se. But again, it depends.

With lambskin pads, they have fun bass and casual warm tuning but an intimate presentation, kinda like a more V-shaped HD58X or warmer HE4XX. Having a bit more isolation they feel rather semi-open, similar to Verum 1. Their biggest issue is the weird midrange that lacks eargain so it's like there's a huge hole in the upper mids making them sound kinda nasal and compressed. But bass is really impressive and it's a great all-rounder.

I prefer them with velour pads. With them, they sound spacious and engaging. You loose the sub-bass, but upper mids are better filled, and the overall clarity improves. The dynamics is also better as they generally sound less dampened and more impactful, even more than Sundara. The biggest change is the soundstage - it's like the complete opposite of lambskin pads. Now it's a proper open-back. Significantly more spacious than Sundara, so it's more like HE5XX or Ananda, or given the midrange-oriented signature, more comparable to something like Avantone Planar or LCD-2C. Their overall tonal balance is actually pretty neutral but their treble is not smooth. It's like everything above 1k is a bit darker except for mid-treble so they sound warm, thick, and relaxed but also airy and sweet. That makes them a bit fatiguing and sibilant, but also my favorite for relaxing music like this because they bring out the best of it.

I wouldn't recommend them as your only headphone though (at least not with velour pads). I don't think they're comfortable enough to be used all the time. It's more like a sidegrade headphone that's great for specific use and I use them only when I'm in the mood for them and when I start to feel uncomfortable I swap them for something else.

Rather be Carlos with good gear sorry

Some have a word I think they like the sound of and use it were it makes no sense, like "ostensibly".

Hey KA3 owner here ! That’s a terrific lil’ dongle-DacAmp, it drives so well even my hd660s, enjoy your porta pros !!
