What do you guys think about Amir's recommended EQ for the Arya Stealth? Could it be that his setup adds more warmth and body? I think it's due to the wide 250 Hz dip and 1630hz peak, for me, it feels like it removes too much body from the sound?? specially on Vocals. I agree with the dips at...

When I heard the second pair of Aryas out of the box, my very first thought was, "They sound exactly like my first Aryas out of the box." Pads are a very good point, but I'm not sure if it's just the pads Just to clarify, of course, I'm not talking about a night-and-day difference—both still...

In direct back-and-forth comparison, the most noticeable difference was in soundstage. The out-of-the-box Arya has a smaller stage and less depth. I wouldn't know, how one could measure soundstage... There are measurements from DMS and Custom Cans, and the biggest difference is in the low and...

Need to update my last post because I've learned something new about unit variation. I listened to two Arya`s, and even though one unit had only been used for a few hours, it made a difference. The difference sounded very similar to what I experienced with the XS. I never believed in burn-in...

My Zero 2 arrived today. The left and right wiring is reversed, so I had to plug the L connector into the R in-ear. That's a shame. I connected them to the 3.5mm headphone jack of the Babyface Pro FS

Yes, I agree. On a quest, at sea with the santa maria :p I would also like to listen to the HD 700 and HD 800 S myself. I got the Arya Stealth yesterday, which instantly replaced my XS. Less than 3dB boost under 100Hz, everything I need

I've been listening to the Arya Stealth for 30 minutes now. What can I say, friends... I think my search for the headphone I've been looking for ends here. The XS has really helped guide me in the right direction after trying countless headphones. I'd say it's a nice and fair upgrade path from...

I feel that many people rely too much on frequency graphs. I would not describe the XS as harsh in the treble. As an example, a headphone that sounds too harsh would be the DT 1990 Pro. I've read several times here on the forum that the XS supposedly has unpleasantly piercing treble and...

How do the Arya Stealth and the Edition XS sound to you in comparison? Would you say there are vast differences between them, and how does the low-end and mids compare?

Based on your descriptions and preferences, it sounds like Hifiman would be a better fit for you

Oh my god, the Eventide Harmonizer he mentioned at 11:35... I think it's the Eventide H3000? Every time I use this plugin on synths, especially on DX7, it sounds so good that I just melt from my chair to the floor. But it has this "problem" where some preset settings require a bit of negative...

I mentioned it in the previous thread but not in this one, that I use the RME TotalMix 3-band EQ to add more low-end to my Edition XS. It sounds fantastic, fast and without distortion. Why do you always assume things I never mentioned :D? I was only referring to software EQs like APO or SoundID...

What? Do you really want to claim that the world’s best EQ correction software, used by professional sound engineers/producers (with overly bright mixes), has a bug? I'm almost sure that it’s unfortunately not a bug Edit: It's not

I already answered that. And I wonder why you think I labeled and referred to users from this forum as a problem with 'Headphone Reviewer.' I actually meant the YouTube candidates, If you want to know exactly.

Thank you. I find it very interesting how different EQs can operate and vary from each other. So many complex factors can come into play, although I don't 100% agree with your statement that people perceive frequencies differently. I believe that when two different engineers, both without...

Can someone explain to me what these wobbly curves in the calibration curve in SoundID Reference in Zero Latency Mode are supposed to represent

With SoundID in Zero Latency Mode using my HD 600 Do you use reverb first and then EQ and compression, or the other way around? Or do you use it as a send effect? I think that room EQs on the master bus or in the system do not provide an optimal solution for neutrality in sound engineering. I...

I completely agree with this statement, it is logical and at the same time contradicts the headphone reviewers who recommend that everyone adjust their headphones to a specific EQ target curve. Blind trust plays a very big role here, and I always associate it with the philosophy of mixing and...

But what I wonder is that most people don’t use EQs for minor adjustments but rather for significant changes to the entire frequency response. I really can’t imagine that this would be beneficial for mixing purposes.

I don't quite understand your statement that it actually 'improves' the phase response It sounds like a slight chorus effect on the recording, you can particularly hear it in the higher frequencies. I could just as well ask you for proof, as well as precise measurements and analyses of the...
