I explained to a friend that headphones, guns, cars, etc are like shoes. you have sneakers, flats, heels, boots. they all do the same thing but they're also different and necessary for different situations lol

Workmate, "You spent HOW MUCH on a pair of headphones!" Me, "It was less than a quarter of the price of your carbon fibre bike frame." Seemed to shut him up.

I made some prototypes that were thicker, was impossible to get the right sound though. The hd800 is such a unique design that any deviation too far from stock will mess with the sonics.

Reply to What does a high end DAC really offer? by hurtyewh
I very recently bought (then had a change of heart and returned) a Topping E70. Per ASR it measured spectacularly well, right near the very top end of everything they’ve ever tested. And I noticed nothing in terms of sound, other than it added 60ms of lag. The paired L70 amp also ran way hotter than the Monolith dac/amp I was replacing.
I liked the aesthetics of the E70 / L70 stack, it felt premium in a way that I think counts for something. Placebo is part of the listening experience, and I’ve come to terms with that. But for $1000 bucks (CAD) it just wasn’t worth it.
I have a newfound appreciation for the fact my Monolith runs cold, and also it has a feature called “dynamic range compression” that I’ve come to like for gaming, because it softens the sharpness of loud noises that otherwise hurt my ears. For me it’s about quality of life features like the DRC, and about reliability (the reason I prefer the Monolith over various cheaper and smaller options is because it doesn’t drop out or crash, problems I’ve had repeatedly with other devices).

That'd be the Dyson air cans, or whatever they were called.

Well, if you're not using any mics you're not really matching their FR. Your HRTF interacts with different headphones differently and there's unit variation. Measurement graphs online don't tell you how your ears hear a headphone.

What better investment.

It's identical to the Truthear Zero in terms of shell/nozzle cable etc. Just replace the purple faceplate with a red hue shown in the picture and that is it. My friend auditioned it at canJam SG today.

I'd let him try it first.
I have the same cans and they were perfectly comfortable out of the box. Didn't even have to bend the headband.

Which software did you use to render the output of the microphone into a frequency response?
