You can treat it like a warning label. I usually think twice when I come across stuff labeled “prosumer,” “professional,” “reference,” etc.

Harmon preference curve is just that. A preference curve. There is a also the studies showing what more experience listeners prefer. It is a moving target, which is being updated from time to time. Consumer tuning used to be called V-shape.
I was not trying to politically correct, but it is just sloppy reviewing. Same thing with " audiophile tuning" ( flat bass to "hear" more details) Rant over.

I think it's too nebulous, it doesn't mean any one thing but it is interpretive. Lazy & unhelpful w/o more description IMO.

The Maxwell, can not be improved by an external amp. It goes through ADC. Best sound is with digital connection. You are talking about Momentum Wireless, that I have not tried.

Yes, Momentum 4. https://www.sennheiser-hearing.com/en-US/p/momentum-4-wireless/ I am not sure exactly what the M4s do, but they seem to benefit from desktop amp.

The Maxwell is also rather bulky and heavy, but has a very good tuning for a sealed headphone. Not just a gaming headset. It has the benefits of a planar, but also the negatives.

Ouch. It's 300. Small discount if you owned the previous model.

Ouch indeed, if it is 300.

Still can be a nifty little gadget, if the sound is good but yes, they will not make sales easy with that price.

Yeah I thought it was really good. Captured my imagination

Most likely that Arcam are one of the Sabre whisperers. They been using Sabres a long time...

Well ESS opened up the source code for the filter to oem’s so maybe they did their own?

first time full shave?

This has been my hairstyle for a while now. Not by choice, but by nature...

Ha! I thought these were pretty awful. Bass was too 40Hz-one-note thuddy, regardless of tips (foamies, AZLA sednafit, stretched spinfits).

Yeah. These are not the tightest or most articulate I have heard in the bass. Keeping price in mind, I really like the eargain ( might be a db more) and clean treble.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I've been using it for video mostly. The cable is wonderfully light and quiet.

@Merrick Ugh. Mando is mid at best. Fingers crossed...

It will be bad. The question will be exactly how bad.

This is the way

Sorry, what was the first part again? ;)

Where was I?

Where *AM* I?

I think what it sounds like matters less than what it FEELS like.
An unforgettable audio experience can last much longer than 20s.

Link pls?

Saw it on Tidal. Florence + The Machine is also back!

I would like to refine the crossover if possible.

@Hrodulf so I want to learn the basics. Starting with the Umik and measurements to understanding what to look for.

The trailer comes off as a light comedy. The movie too starts pretty innocusuously but then halfway in youre wondering what happened to the goofy premise set by the trailer. I like when movies catch me off guard.

It is a Irish thing. The contrast between tone and content.The undercurrent of despair just underneath the black humor. Ha. A strong female character too. Take that woke Hollywood!

I need to check this out.

Apparently the notched channel on the nozzle causes bass consistency issues with the stick tips, or so I’ve read.

@shotgunshane. I can confirm that.The foam tips work way better. Tapemod does work.

Such an excellent actor and seemed like an overall nice guy. RIP.

I saw him first time in John Wick. I have not seen his other work...

The wife & I are in the middle of "The Wire"....he was a true talent.

There might be a HD 800S2 in the pipeline.

According to Senn the 660S will be phased out in lieu of the S2.

The Rotel will stay...

I use a Yamaha AVR w/probably same DAC - how bad is it in your opinion?

The Rotel is simply more " hifi" sounding. Notably better dynamics and less prickly on top than the Yamaha.

Seems like most other people who get to the elite top. I kind of hated how the conversation around that MIchael Jordan documentary series kind of turned into people celebrating what a dick MJ is.

The Twitter excitement will soon fade. No real talent wants to work under that kind of regime. And if they do, it will only be for a resume builder. And with no real filters, Twitter will become a silly place that most real companies will avoid. I give it 3-5 years before it collapses or ceases to be relevant.

I am not "on" Twitter. I see a lot of its content because, as I said elsewhere, instead of sending out journalists to interview, much of the world's media now seems to quote Twitter. And hey, information is there and is quoted.

I have no personal stake in it. But I see it has purposes both good and bad, and I take no pleasure in seeing it vandalised.

f**k NO
