Those are the stock pads. Leather isn't an option on the LCD-2 classic or LCD-2 closed back. The real problem is that I have very sensitive ears, especially towards the top and back, so what would have been a tolerable amount of rubbing for most people was much more annoying for me. I could have...

I didn't try the 700 Pro X, but I tried the 990 Pro display model at Micro Center and it didn't have enough vertical space or depth. The 770 Pro has the same size pads, so that wouldn't work for me, and while the 700 Pro X has deeper pads they aren't any taller. If you're interested in the 620s...

Headphones that I currently own: Sennheiser HD 620s - My most recent purchase, after trying a whole bunch of headphones and IEMs at CanJam SoCal, both the most comfortable closed headphone I found there and the most affordable of the 3 possibilities I had been thinking about getting. Sennheiser...

I went to CanJam SoCal this weekend looking for either closed headphones or IEMs that fit my outlier ears (tiny ear canals and conchas, moderately large and very sensitive pinnae), and out of all the (mostly expensive) items there I ended up choosing the HD 620s. In a world where most affordable...

Got that one as well.

I did get that one.

Weird, I simply don't receive the emails. Do you have any ideas why that could happen?

I'm not so sure it's fully resolved. I can't re-enable 2FA because I still don't receive any emails from ASR. I don't know if there's a problem with my email specifically, but it worked before this happened and hasn't started working again yet. I've checked and they aren't ending up in spam...

The email seems to be down again. I am now locked out of my ASR account on my phone because I can't get the 2FA code. I could use a backup code, but I'm not sure if I want to, plus it might also need to send me an email. Hopefully it gets fixed before I get to the end of my 30 day trusted period...

I almost voted fine, for being fairly easy to get good sound out of at moderate volumes (such as my own listening preferences), but settled on fair instead. You just get too high a level of distortion at this high a price. I will say that they have a reputation for longevity, but so does...

The problem you may run into is that the headphone output of your Yamaha, due to the way it taps the speaker amp section via resistors, seems to be extremely high output impedance. This will affect the frequency response of any headphone that doesn't have an almost perfectly flat impedance. The...

I eat wearing IEMs or headphones quite often, since games of Dungeons and Dragons are usually 4-5 hours long and due to time zone stuff tend to get scheduled around meal time for me (I play online with people all over the world). Obviously not my favorite thing in the world to eat wearing them...

I ended up staying with Spotify. I'm still not entirely happy with it, but I'm also only paying for 1/5 of a family plan. It just doesn't seem worth paying much more to use Tidal, especially with the likelihood of the same annoyances. I could have tried to make Qobuz work, but when I took a...

When I had a pair of IE200 I simply used a tiny strip of scotch tape. It worked quite nicely to seal the holes, and is fully reversible if you want to sell them later (good thing too, since I couldn't find small enough ear tips and ended up returning them).

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099NBWB7L?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I've been using this, there are a bunch with the same design. In fact, they may all be made in the same place. I don't know exactly how good the CX31993 chip is, but there aren't any audible problems and also no...

This is bad enough that I posted a link to the review in the Worst Measuring Loudspeakers thread. It might not be the absolute worst, but it looks close! I'm surprised JBL, with all their resources and several good speakers, put out something so poorly designed this recently.

Back to the original thread topic, we have a pretty good candidate right here on ASR. https://audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/jbl-4312m-ii-3-way-studio-monitor-review.51226/ The other graphs are pretty bad as well, high distortion and disastrous horizontal directivity. In fact...

I think the main problem with that comparison is the massive differences in the frequency response curve between the 2 models. I've attached a graph with the Andromeda 2019(green line) compared with the MEST MKIII(blue line) compared to my personal target(Harman with a bit less pinna gain), and...

Not planning to go back to CDs after experiencing the convenience of streaming, but I was actually considering the FLAC option. I wouldn't be able to buy my entire playlist worth of albums at once, but I might be able to do it slowly. I'd have to find an inexpensive player on android and one on...

So, a couple days ago I noticed Spotify once again removed an entire album from their service (this time it was Bad Animals, by Heart), and I'm tired of things like this happening. Another song I have favorited has had a couple skips in it for months. I want to switch to a different service, and...
