Hens Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I find it humorous that they are refuting edwoods claims on the other site, even though that would explain why both he and Kevin Gilmore were not happy with certain aspects of the phones.

mypasswordis Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 There must be something to that rig (Sony CDP + GS-1) since I really liked the HD800 with it. Didn't get to try any other headphones with it. Was the CDP the XA-5400ES? I don't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeggy Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Cheers all. Driving them with the hastily fixed EHHA because I forgot to bring the Stacker home They are seriously nice. A little more subdued in the upper mids/top than the pants and the bass goes just as deep. Very natural sounding which is almost odd. Phones to me generally don't sound natural so it's a bit of a new experience. They did a very good job on them indeed. Tight clamp but not uncomfortable. Once the pads loosen up a bit they'll be really nice to wear all day. Vocals are simply amazing in their presentation... sibilance is totally non-existent. They don't shout, boom, or do anything bad as far as I've been able to tell. They are just there. Quite an achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wualta Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 That brings up one of the Continuity of Plausibility tests for headphones: how well does the LCD-2 handle high SPLs? ie, does it stay clean when it plays loud enough to elicit bitching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron_Dreamer Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Well, I had to play it pretty loud to get over some room noise where I was demoing it, and it seemed to handle it with aplomb. I doubt I was pushing that high of an SPL though. I typically listen at 70-75dB, and this felt more like 85. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 (edited) I always push headphones a bit hard when testing them and it does bring out some extra thickness in the bass. It wasn't a huge change (not like the SR-Omega for instance which really doesn't like high SPL) but noticeable.

guzziguy Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Didn't want them covered in bird shit. Actually, only one of the birds poops relentlessly and he is Stacy's bird. He doesn't like to be with me. So I almost never get pooped on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeggy Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 According to the test sheets, the distortion stays within almost negligable levels at 100db so it should'nt have any trouble deafening us cleanly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wualta Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 There's a reason I'm asking: The test goes beyond the "but hey, whuddiffeye wanna headbang, huh?" and points to how well the makers did their work designing the magnetic structure of the 'phone.

Smeggy Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Well yeah, never seen one in the flesh yet. I don't think anyone around here has an O2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faust3d Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 When it comes to bass impact I prefer orthodynamic headphones, O2 and other stats are nice, but my YH-100 has tactile yet detailed feel no other phones have. My 5 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
