I don't consider one more veiled than the other . I always thought that "veiled unless amped properly" just meant "like most headphones, they sound best when properly amplified." Report
November 9, 20169 yr comment_745644 Yeah, but this was in the early days, when most people were not amplifying properly. And yes, you're right, most headphones "scale" -- they respond well to increasingly better amplification. I think the HD600 are worse than most (in the same way I think the VTGs and the Sony MDR-7506/-V6 are better than most, in that they scale very little). Report
November 9, 20169 yr comment_745646 The reason I like VTGs and JH13s is they sound basically as good straight from my iphone as from most amps. Report

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say about the VTGs. I probably should not have said, "...in the same way..." when I really meant "...the same, only different..." Report

November 9, 20169 yr comment_745667 Yeah, but...it has to be across the entire frequency spectrum, as both impedance and sensitivity are both frequency dependent. Report
November 9, 20169 yr comment_745671 I'm just suggesting why the HD series might be more amp dependent than most. Report
