Reply to Lo and behold, the fake openbacks. (These look open but are actually closer backs). by V3N0M3
Was at the office when i saw a colleague editing videos on these Boat headphones. These are pretty popular in India because they are bassy and cheap. Those looked like open back so i tried em on.
No soundstage at all compared to my Sennheiser HD599 in the background. Wayy too much bass. The boats just sound terrible imo.

Nothing wrong with it and it's alright at this price. HD560s are a bit more expensive. It's the same headphone but tuned better. HD599 benefit from EQ. There is an autoEQ profile for them in Equaliser Apo that extends the lows and highs.

I know, my desktop amp puts out 300mW @ 300 Ohm
whereas the Plenue D2 is somewhere around 10mW
yet, those are enough to go TOO loud on my 250Ohms Beyerdynamic DT 990

I hope it's an improvement over Truthear Zero in terms of technical ability at somewhat the same price range.

Good to know. I was about to buy a pair. That explains why they're so cheap used.

I feel you. My Anandas' right pad started breaking too and one day, just a month after warranty ran out, the driver died.

Reply to Best closed back headphones in your opinion? by iMagZz
Akg k553. Insane soundstage and incredibly comfortable, not a lot of bass which I prefer.

Reply to comment by redstangxx in Theory About Perceived Burn-in by Both_Use_417
I agree, this is a main reason also. A sound signature can grow on someone making them believe it got burned in.

Reply to comment by leftlanespawncamper in Hi guys! This community seems really interesting. Could someone give me a breakdown of what kind of things you do dofferently woth headphones and some popular budget picks? by blurpree
wait i was just thinking that apple dongle is a DAC, and if i use apple dongle instead of my embedded one, it would improve the sound quality.

Reply to comment by SupOrSalad in Why don’t we see more dynamic tests for audio gear? by shiny_potato
Would a planar driver and a dynamic driver headphone with an identical frequency response have an pretty much identical listening experience? I keep hearing things like “dynamic drivers have more bass slam but planar drivers have more bass precision”. Is that kind of thing represented in the frequency response?
