So you're basically saying someone cannot say they don't like a pair of headphones just because they don't have instruments to do measurements and just because they don't have access to the multitude of headphones you can get in your hands?In sharp contrast, you or someone else saying you don't like the sound of a headphone means nothing. You have no express qualification to make such judgements, nor did you do it in any kind of bias controlled. And at any rate, lack the experience of me doing this (matching measurements and subjective listening) day in, day out.
Now the real question is: can Amir senpai's hair keep up with that kind of wicked dance performance?Amir listening to headphones probably
To be blunt:So you're basically saying someone cannot say they don't like a pair of headphones just because they don't have instruments to do measurements and just because they don't have access to the multitude of headphones you can get in your hands?
In fact, since the beginning of my replies on this post, I have been specifying that was my own personal opinion, so reading that I'm nobody to express my opinion doesn't make me feel comfortable in sharing my own one in threads like this (moreover if I'm looked at like an inferior human).Hmm doesn't look half bad. I do wonder why the impedance changes so drastically though.
Also, that is some hardcore built in DSP, flattening the bass response.

To be blunt:
You can say that you, personally, don't like it all day long. That's your prerogative. After all: we all have our own taste and opinions.
You cannot say whether these are good or bad in an objective manner as a recommendation to others. For that you need:
a) objective, quantifiable data (a.k.a.: measurements) and the knowledge to interpret them correctly
b) a lot of listening experience, trained ears all while knowing your limits and what may translate to everyone and what does not
Also: do not be so insecure about your own likes/dislikes. Harman target is designed to appeal to most people possible. No one, not even Harman itself expects it to be a fit for absolutely everyone. No one here will look down upon you for simply liking a different sonic signature. Oo
Hmm doesn't look half bad. I do wonder why the impedance changes so drastically though.
I wouldn’t be so sensitive about it. The difference between ASR and other audio sites is that on other sites opinion is all there is, whereas here the only thing that a subjective opinion proves is that the person says they have that subjective opinion. If this forums pages were just full of subjective opinion, there would be no reason to visit the site.In fact, since the beginning of my replies on this post, I have been specifying that was my own personal opinion, so reading that I'm nobody to express my opinion doesn't make me feel comfortable in sharing my own one in threads like this (moreover if I'm looked at like an inferior human).

It's been done (auto loudness) on shelf/midi systems for decades. And on BT headphones. It's the absolute antithesis of high fidelity in my opinion, especially as the boost is not linked to the level of the content itself, but the set step of the digital volume control.
If you listen to classical, it's disastrous.
It works really well. For classical music too. But you need to be aware of 2 things:I think RME kind of "solves" this in their DAC .
I don't think anyone would consider the simple opinion of "the Harman target does not sound good to me" disrespectful in any way.Offering an opinion or dismissing that kind of work and efforts is in my opinion disrespectful.
This hasn't been mentioned yet but the QC35-II is one of the headphones where fakes exist.
Those rushing out to buy one now should be warned not to buy ones that are low in price.

Wait, we're still misunderstanding and I don't know why I'm still here explaining things I have repeated many times already.@nxnje , I think you are drawing a long bow in regards to making the assumption that you are being looked down upon as "an inferior human".
I find the contributors on the ASR forum to be especially not only accommodating but a welcoming bunch of enthusiasts as well as industry stalwarts, world famous renowned with incredible experience and world class resumes of a number of views without rancour. Speaking as pretty much a novice in regards to the technical side of audio but a long time listener, what is refreshing about this site is the amount of work that @amirm puts into the reviews and the evidence he provides of the results of the test procedures.
Offering an opinion or dismissing that kind of work and efforts is in my opinion disrespectful.
There is an enormous amount to learn and a lot of helpful people and information at your fingertips on this site I have found from my own experience. In my opinion you should explore that and keep an open mind, for me it has been a liberating experience.
I believe what you keep missing here is that this is a science based forum where quantifiable data is highly valued over personal opinion. There are plenty of forums where personal opinions rule, but this isn’t one of them. That has nothing to do with you in particular, it’s the culture of this community. That works for some, perhaps not so much for others.I don't wanna keep getting messages in which someone says I'm disrespectful just because I was sharing a (PERSONAL) opinion.
I'm not against this, I'm just saying that I understood why did my message cause a bit of confusion and I'm ok with that.I believe what you keep missing here is that this is a science based forum where quantifiable data is highly valued over personal opinion.

No one even said anything bad to you.I'm not against this, I'm just saying that I understood why did my message cause a bit of confusion and I'm ok with that.
I am just trying to tell people not to bash me or saying I am disrespectful as I have understood the problem in my message and now I know why I got certain replies.
I am not arguing about the personal opinion itself.
Was just saying that the guy above said I am disrespectful, while I am not disrespectful to anybody here..No one even said anything bad to you.
