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." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 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).

grawk Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 The reason I like VTGs and JH13s is they sound basically as good straight from my iphone as from most amps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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..."

Dusty Chalk Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Yeah, but...it has to be across the entire frequency spectrum, as both impedance and sensitivity are both frequency dependent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I'm just suggesting why the HD series might be more amp dependent than most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
