    His recommendations baffle me, at times I agree and other times I’m simply baffled he can’t hear the major problems with the headphone he gushes over. Honestly I think he has rather shallow listening skills and is listening for the wrong thing or his listening ability is lacking and he’s simply unable to hear deeper into the sound. He may have hearing loss and/or he’s also likely quite tone deaf and/or lacks esoteric listening skills.

    Wait, the dude likes stock T50rps but hates M50x?

    Got me curious and quickly moved back and forth on whatever he had to say about the Beyers. "T1 are very good"? WTF!!! "DT1990 neutral but OMG! not boring?" WTF!!!!!!!!!!

    This guy is definitively DEAF!!!

    f**k!

    I don't even known why this thread exist. This guy is a joke.

    Dude. Z. WTF!!!? DT1990 neutral???!!!

    REALLY!!!???

    The DT 1990 was one of the only reviews I didn’t disagree with him greatly on though. Though I would argue fairly balanced with extra energy up top on the analytical would be a better description of them and a bit v-shaped and dry for balanced pads. I liked the DT 1990 quite a bit personally but it does have some issues. The T1 as well as the T1.2 are simply overwhelming treble wise with some issues in the treble region, I couldn’t handle either of those.

    Way back in grade school, I was taught that having someone like these guys (who most can agree are messed up) and talking about them can bring a group together. I've seen situations in life that support that.

    I bought the Audeze EL-8O rev2016 because Z was in love with them when they first came out. After replacing them twice through my AD (one of which was dead on arrival, another had a driver die shortly after buying), I got a model that didn't break immediately. The more i listened the more that uneven treble and lack of bass impact annoyed me. I also noticed it didn't scale much at all, low potential to sound better.

    I ended up trading them for the HE-560 which I love the tone of, despite its colourations still found many instruments sound very good through them. And also, later learned that Z hated the HE-560 which struck me as odd.

    Way she goes!

    He didn't hate the HE-560, he just said he doesn't think it's worth it over the 400i.

    Not to mention getting them back covered in Zeos grease, there's a few vids where he takes off the headphones and they are coated in sweat. "Hey Patrons, come buy this headphone, it's a 'giveaway'... of my bodily fluids. Enjoy!" Gag

    I, for some karmic reason no doubt, was reading the comments on a YouTube review comparing the Magni 3 to the NFB-whatever, and old Zeos was the lone voice of reason.

    But yeah, I think it has been established by now that he is actually deaf and his recommendations on comfort and build quality are the only to be listened to..

    Time to lock this thread. Not even worth talking about.
