Do you guys know what the resonance frequency/roll off is when a seal is somewhat broken? These are pretty much the DCA headphones I've been waiting for if it's pretty low (30Hz or so).

This reply is mostly in jest, but to your hand washing example, I have had a patient that had washed their hands to the point they did do damage to their hands out of fear of spreading an infection they had as one of the measures they were told was to make sure they wash their hands. That...

Can take and needs are two very different things. Let's not forget that my HE6SE were less sensitive than the HE6 Amir measured. I used mine with a -8dB preamp in EQ on top of their low sensitivity. Even if some model was different in sensitivity, it really depends on how loud you listen. I...

Depends on your needs. My old HE6SE (the ones that Amir measured and hold the current crown for least sensitive so far) were driven by a JDS Atom on low gain with -8dB gain for PEQ. This would be sufficient for me.

Huge miss on the chance to call it Saltines of Swing.

No, testing headphones are so expensive because they, along with the tone generator used with them, have to be able to reliably reproduce the required frequencies without distortion at the required levels. The higher the frequency, the harder that is. The headphones are measured and calibrated...

The shape is only part of it though. We can compensate for that, it just costs more money and most places don't want to spend that money without good reason. There is some studies that show high frequency audiometry can detect hearing loss early and be used to help come up with treatments for...

It is because at those frequencies, the individual's ears matter a lot so you need specialized equipment. Most places that test hearing do so for occupational testing or for basic hearing aids. From their viewpoints, getting that specialized equipment is mostly unnecessary. In the case of...

Especially given how hard measuring hearing ability over 8kHz even is. Most professional audiometry gear doesn't go that high for a reason, you have to use something special. An ABX test only shows he heard a difference between the two samples. That very well could have been distortion caused by...

I'm going to answer this is an way that probably wasn't intended by you or the person saying RME has better filters. For me, RME offers more DSP capabilities that can be applied to two separate headphones at the same time with independent volume control. In return, it has fewer PEQ filters. For...

It's unfortunately a lot to do with their design choices for this headphone. They have other headphones with other design choices that perform much better. You'll find flat bass on all of their open back headphones since a closed front volume and open back volume creates a flat bass. They'd have...

I gave Gemini a go for recommendations and got this: https://g.co/gemini/share/7883b2a86214 I find it interesting that is used more flavored language. It also seems to have made up the measurements on some. Did copilot answer measurements accurately?

Non-human concerts are also a thing. See Vocaloids and the Tupac hologram concert. The Vocaloid ones even have some degree of audience interaction. Similar to Vocaloids, I assume AI artists might be their own niche. I hope so anyway, but I also assume AI will be much more human sounding than the...

Boy am I glad I was never fully convinced that these were that great. Everyone talked about how stellar these were. I can't imagine spending that much considering what I've seen of their build, not being better than the Ananda, and their apparent sound quality. I'll stick with my Venus (Sundara...

Stereophile has some. Different format but a lot of good info. I have one too.

I must have made a typo. I think I meant C268.

You can always mute on your DAC/amp.

Still waiting for PEQ. Maybe one of these days I'll have a reason to sell my RME.

I wouldn't say popular but it isn't negligible. Most of them don't offer much other than a battery separate from your phone. Otherwise a phone + portable like a dongle or Qudelix is better. All of the Android ones use similar processors to the one here or worse, pretty much never better. The...

Depending on how loud you listen, but the Topping G5 is quite powerful. I personally use the Qudelix for a headphone with 103dB/v sensitivity in SE mode with EQ but I also don't listen very loud. Qudelix app says around 73-78dB.
