Fascinating post from them, putting their head in the sand that Jude's measurements conveyed exactly as my results. Then they go and say this:
Biased intent? No, I used subjective listening to pick the *best* frequency response to present that correlated with what I heard. If I had not done that, then I would have declared that the headphone was hopeless in equalization, thereby damning it even more.
Here is what I said in the review:
I couldn't be more clear on what I had done. And how I tried to advantage the headphone by measuring over and over again until EQ results confirmed which set of measurements were correct. I specifically created equalization that improved the performance of their headphone. Why would I do that if I wanted to make them look bad?
Here is what I said:
They are going to learn the hard way that such accusations don't stick because they are not true. I have no allegiance to any company or brand. Provide good engineering and great sound and you get my praise. Do the opposite and you will not.
They started the post by saying:
First let's dismiss the obfuscation: measurement in a factory for pass and fail has nothing to do with what we are doing here and performance of the headphone. So let's not exaggerate so clearly about how many measurements they have made.
They need to be saying how many measurements they made designing and verifying proper engineering of the product. Sadly they are careful to avoid saying this. I don't doubt that they did some measurements. But clearly they did not have proper targets for distortion, bass response, etc. or we would not be here where even Jude's tests show the problems. Indeed in their videos say they have a hard time figuring out what the measurements do relative to what they were hearing. They gave up too early on benefits of measurements in my opinion.
Bottom line is this: if they had measurements, then they should have post them by now. It is clear that they either don't have any measurements or said measurements don't paint a good picture of their headphone. Everything else is just noise. And uncalled for personal accusations.
