Interesting. This does seem to be a common theme among most audio enthusiasts. What is the audio chain you use to drive these headphones? I have...
Interesting. Directly comparing 800 vs 800S, it seems to me the bass does sound just a tad more "vintage/tubey" on the 800S but it does rumble a...
I absolutely agree. That's why clarity is the most important factor for me. As for it being fatiguing, I also found the treble rather sharp and...
I do care what goes in and out. Where I live I rarely have a chance to audition new headphones or buy online with a reasonable return option, so I...
You’re welcome! Happy New Year! :)
That’s a really strong statement. You’re right to an extent, but this is extreme. The 009 has been a true audiophile headphone in terms of detail...
The question is how can you achieve this? How can you tone down the upper midrange while keeping the upper treble intact in terms of amplitude?...
I am sincerely baffled by Tyll's decision to remove the SR-009 from the WOF... Objectively it's not tonally balanced, however subjectively it's a...
Would it be fair to say I don't fancy either? I just find Utopia a much more pleasant listen than stock HD800. The HD800 soundstage seems to rely...
The main difference is the low amplitude late room reflections, i.e. phase issues in the midrange and particularly in the lower-midrange (early...
Agreed. The Pros of Utopia don't outweigh the Cons when you factor in the 4K price tag. The LCD-4 is even worse imo. :) Actually, I wouldn't call...
The clamping force probably varies from unit to unit. The force my Utopia band exerts on my head is actually weaker than Elear/Clear. I agree...
Yes. I find any of the top end Focal headphones more comfortable then the HD800 with those shallow pads. As for the soundstage, I'm primarily a...
I agree with you word by word. Clear is superior to HD800 in every way. PCM63K ;-) IMO the magical number is 58, but 63 is the next best thing....
Am i reading this right... 2F better than 3F and so on, or the other way around? I still keep my K712Pro :))
