April 30, 200917 yr comment_229218 Damnit Sennheiser, give me my HD800's, or Der Fuhrer gets it! OutSTANDING! Just Photoshop in some hd800, and piece de resistance! Report
April 30, 200917 yr comment_229222 Somewhat tangentially, Joanne found a review of the HD800's, in of all places, The (UK) Daily Mail online ... Headphones? These are more like hi-fi speakers | Mail Online and said NO! Damn, almost got away with it ... Report
April 30, 200917 yr comment_229225 If you can't stretch to the HD800, try these other top headphones: Grado SR60, Goldring DR100. OK. Report
April 30, 200917 yr comment_229239 Grado SR601. It even has a button that says SR60 right on it. Clearly these people know their headphones. They're meant to replace a home hi-fi, and work best paired with a dedicated headphone amp - not least because the back is mesh, so you are essentially wearing a speaker system on your head.

May 1, 200917 yr comment_229686 By that logic, KIA is superior to BMW, Porsche and Mercedes. if your criteria are limited to reliable transportation at a cheap price, the KIA is superior to the others. That's why there are different choices. People have different criteria. Report
May 2, 200917 yr comment_229941 Well, that was asuming that the desire was for a hi-fi replacement, which would make the logic relevant. Of course the ultimate evaluation for quality lay in the length of the warranty. But if the aim is the affordable route, then we would all wear KSC75s. Report
May 2, 200917 yr comment_229944 You missed my point. There is no over arching aim. Everybody has their own aims. Some people do use KSC75s as their main headphones. Report
May 2, 200917 yr comment_229948 Gotcha I was just thinking of the reviewers value in the warranty as an indication of worth. Report
May 2, 200917 yr comment_229988 How come non-audiophiles frown upon woodies so much... Actually, come to think of it, when I started this hobby about three years ago, I thought woodies were goofy-looking. Then, one day, I woke up thinking they were damn sexy. There was no in-between, gradual ease into liking them. Boom! Just like that, I liked them. I can only attribute that to something subliminal whispered into my ear that entire night... but who?

May 2, 200917 yr comment_230002 Forget about studio monitoring and what they consider flat and their corrections. If the DT48E really measure flat -which I still have yet to see- for research purposes, they should be +/- 1dB within the 20-20000 range. The DT-48A, for audiometric purposes, are that flat in the 125-12000 range Iv seen a graph in a scientific document where the DT48 is used as a reference phone (cant find it now), it was not flat at all. it was a verryy gentle hump, and big roll off on bass and treble. The paper said they used a diffusion field eq with the DT48, I think there is a standardised Diffision field eq for it to make it flat. Im guessing most of the pros use it. It's been aorund donkeys years and is the standard. So they stick to it. Report
May 2, 200917 yr comment_230023 Thanks for commenting. I'm quite puzzled on why have those cans become a scientific standard, so everything about their response is pure guess on my side. Maybe it's just because someone used them, published results, and then everyone decided to stick to them Sometimes scientific work is that silly. Report
