Tyll Hertsens Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Well fuck ... I know it's probably SPAM and all, but I'm particularly proud of this piece. I thought you guys would get a kick out of it, and more than any other group of people I hope it please you all. And more than any other group I'd love to hear what you think about it.

cobra_kai Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Very nice article, I wasn't aware that there is such a large number of these headphones. I think the short run down on each headphone is a nice way to give a quick impression about what a headphone is like. I'd like to hear the M/V-80 now.

eggil Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Nicely done Tyll. I was amazed at the insane amount of bad bass in some of the graphs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Enjoyable reading, thanks for spamming Tyll BTW it's Harman group owning AKG, not Harmon, but I've seen this a lot written like Harmon, is there a reason? Perhaps trying to make it a mix of Harman - Kardon? Being it an American company I bet there's a reason for this which I'm missing not living there. Anyway, thanks again, I wish this is for good so young kids can get good sounding cans, and bad sounding headphones manufacturers start making them sounding good.

Harmon and Harman are homophones for many (particularly American) English speakers, and Harmon is the more common spelling for the surname occupying that pronunciation under said conditions. This is likely why you see it show up so often. Tyll - Great article! I enjoyed reading it Edited December 12, 2011 by Filburt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullguise Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Great read, and quite informative!

arnaud Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Great article Tyll, but I have to say I liked the write up on san severino even more ). I heard about him for a long time (the lyrics are quite something) but never actually purchased any album from him. I think you got me more curious , cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complin Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Tyll really enjoyed the article, very well balanced and objective. Just goes to show these days celebrity and fashion is more important than overall quality. I happen to work for a company that pushes the so called Dr Dre(adful) technology and sound in its consumer products which I personally find embarrassing. Do you think we could turn the Stax Sigma design into a fashion icon, a bit of BLING here and there could work wonders. It would certainly get you noticed out on the street. Perhaps we could persuade the new Chinese owners of Stax to develop one as they want to push the technology into the mobile arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Thanks for the Harmon explanation. I guess it's like base and bass. These things are way less obvious when you just read about them and don't hear the words pronounced. For many of them my brain has a "guess sound" but not more.

Tyll Hertsens Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Scott Wilkinson has kindly asked me to join him on his "Home Theater Geeks" over on TWiT.tv to talk about the "Celebrity Headphone Deathmatch!"
