Sine sweeps sometimes sound good, sometimes start to crackle too.

I had something similar with an HD 600. They were plugged into a TV and someone thought the sound was low so they turned it up with max. Not noticing the sound came from the headphones

Ever since then I thought they sounded ‘off’. I need to take measurements to confirm though

Presuming you're talking current production ones: 50, but you can easily mod all to be the same by changing the seal over the rear vents - the material used (or not) inside them is the only difference.

@Biodegraded yes, I'm talking about Mk3 series. Thank you! Solderdude's measurements look really good for T50rp mk3.

and say hi to many of you that I learned from about headphones. It was an accidental hobbie and an amazing expirience since I stumbled on changstar. Love you all.

Good. If you want that HD580 to come alive a little get a tube amplifier. A Schiit Vali 2 with a Siemens E288CC is enough.

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm rarely here nowadays. I will send you as soon as I get my laptop.

Stoked?

Yes :D Excitement

The only healthy living advice this forum needs

Women have their own hobbies. It's a great thing, because then they don't begrudge us ours (as long as we're respectful of theirs).

Yeah, definitely reciprocate respect. My fiancé spends her expendable income on food, beauty products and clothing/shoes. The average guy thinks "why spend $x on a shirt/shoe/foundation?" but the average woman would say the same about your audio devices. What serves a simple function to you ("is it good enough? great") is a very nuanced niche to her (like headphones for us - has to do more than just work).

I'm not sure any setence that includes "I'm willing to pay for high quality reproduction" is going to go over well.

SRH440 has an uncomfortable headband. It has no bass and hot highs, even with mods. Supposedly, every third pair is "bass heavy" (yeah, right).

@Claritas Thank you! The more I look into headphones, the more big red SAVE MONEY FOR HD600 flashes in front of my face hahaha.

You're welcome. The best cheaper closed phone for me was XPT100 / HM5 with thick felt in front of the driver. But it doesn't compete with HD6x0 or good Fostex mods. Best luck!

That's how bad relationships starts...

Do your own thing. f**k them, they can drown in their misery.

@Deep Funk Exactly.

After experimenting for a while with sine generator, I can say I got pretty good results flattening headphones. When it comes to crossfeed Redline is the best hands down. Plus, with IXL and SPAN, I can say I became pretty confident mixing on headphones, but would just love to have a stock flat pair that I wouldn't need to tweak.

P.S. Tho there are some, from what I've heard HD600 and DT250-250ohm sound flattest. I have to check them yet.

I use HD600 and Focal Spirit Pro. Between the two, I can be very confident about my decisions. FSP is great for hearing what's going on in the bass.

It is still my fav drawn anime alongside DBZ and Cyber City Oedo 808 probably.

But the mindfuckery is what makes it so good.

@fraggler Not in my opinion. I haven't read the manga, but from what I've found on the net, they based story on 1st and 6th part of it, which is crazy huge gap. I liked mindfuckery up to one point when it just became too much.

@Hands There are so few good and neutral low/mid tier headphones, and after listening to LCD-3 recently I just made a conclusion how little headphones improve after some price. I mean, they sound wonderful, but not 2000$ wonderful, so I realized why many consider HD6x0 if not end game, sufficient. (Yet I have to hear them yet).

Yep, slim pickings for decent, cheap headphones. I heard a couple LCD-3s and honestly thought they were a tier below a properly amped HD6X0. ;)

@Hands I might sound crazy but I achieved 80/90% of that sound with heavy and patient EQ-ing with my K400.
