headphones

Ever wonder why Sennheiser headphones are tuned the way they are? We sat down with audiophile expert, Jermo and acoustic and signal processing engineer, Werner at our German headquarters and got technical. We fielded questions from our community and discussed the intention behind our audiophile...

Hello, I don't know if someone has already asked this, but my question is whether the hifiman 400se headphones would be a good option for mainly producing, mixing and, in the end, listening to music? Or is there another better headphones for my purpouse in this or little above price range? Thank...

After reading the TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero:RED review and thinking to myself that I should get at least one pair of IEM (even though I mostly listen with speakers and subs for the soundstage and tactile experience). I almost fell into the 'buy now and think later' mentality with the Zero Reds...

I find somewhat conflicting results as going by Rtings measurements there are a few headphones that come very close to the HD800S. However from personal experience the HD800S and HD599( Fresh Reviews rates the HD560S equally highly) stand far above some of the other headphones I've used(Arya...

AutoEq is a project for automatically equalizing headphones. While this project is now familiar to many people engaged in headphone hobby, it has always been a bit of a pain to use if you want anything else than the pre-computed presets. autoeq.app is a web app using AutoEq but now with a...

Hello all. After enjoying my B&W P7 for a few years, I decided it's time to move on and upgrade. The Px8 were the natural upgrade and have fairly good reviews (I particularly dig the looks of the McLaren edition), but after learning they no longer allow for passive mode (90% of my use), I was...

Is my current theory that I would like to bounce off of you gentlemen. I suspect it might be obvious to many of you who are more knowledgeable and experienced than I am, but to me it came as a slow revelation as I spend more time trying to solve EQ issues using MacOS. And in full, it goes...

Hi All I have the LCD-1 which I use with several amp\dac (Fiio E10k , Meizu Hifi) they sound nice and have good details but the sound is exciting only with eq. I want to replace them by s good sounding headphones up to 300$, what I need is they should be portable (like the lcd-1) and good...

Earned Amir's golfing panther https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/dan-clark-audio-aeon-rt-review-closed-headphone.19393/ I've had these about 6 months and they've only got about 5-6 hours of use and are 9/10, only because they've been opened and used. All original...

Hello one & all, My Yamaha RX-V683 losing Volume and Headphone Jack is having problems and is finally going South :-( So now it is time to find a new AVR that does break my Back. Here is my main Problem, I have a hearing loss of 50~80% depending on the Frequency on the Left & 40~50% Right. I...

Hello, I'd love advice about adding headphone amplification to my desktop computer/mic interface/speaker setup. I am replacing some headphones I've had for ages and never loved (Sennheiser Momentum). At first I decided to get the Austrian Hi-X60. But now I'm dithering and thinking I should get...

Hi, I currently own a Sony WH-1000XM3 and a Sennheiser HD800S. I use the latter for mixing and the former while recording, but the difference in sound quality is obviously quite big. I was looking for a closed headphone with good ambient noise isolation (not necessarily active cancelation) with...

What’s your endgame gear for PC Gaming? Im currently using a Topping D90SE DAC, Topping A90D Amp, Blue Yeti Pro Mic, & HD800S Headphones, but I’m always curious to try new headphones / potential upgrades. Anyone want to share their current setup or have any suggestions for something new to try...

He is going to update his database using the new B&K equipment. Edit: It surprises me a little bit this thread doesn't get any traction. I thought more people would find this interesting to discuss :)

I'm going insane doing endless research into headphones. My use would be at work and public transport (general usage). I prefer wired over wireless, and want to prioritise sound quality over features. I've looked at the mezze 99 classics but I've read multiple times that they aren't tuned...

Hello ! I recently came across the ASR's headphone test playlist in a thread about EQ. I went through a good part of it. I now have the following interrrogation: how was it crafted ? I can tell that one would choose music of his taste. I suppose there should be tracks with characteristics to...

Hi, does anyone have a Harman target curve in excel or any different file? I am looking for a target curve for both headphones and earphones.

In our post-COVID world of working from home and oft-repeated virtual meetings (another term for Zoom fatigue), I thought I would reach out and invite others to share their thoughts on the ideal desktop setup for working and listening to music. Beside the benefit of crystal-clear sound for...

Hello. On Rtings reviews there are weighted harmonic distortion graphs. Could we use that data to somehow modify the audio signal to try to remove the harmonic distortion? If so, is there a program or maybe a Matlab/Python script that applies such correction to audio files? Would there be any...

I've been obsessed with headphones measurements for years, specifically with frequency response measurements. But, I am yet to find measurements that match with what I actually hear. More specifically, none of the measurements match with what I hear when I run the SineGen. They are accurate up...
