I just got them a few weeks ago and was amazed by the vocal detail I could hear out of them. I eq curved them like this
following oratorys.
I feel the highs might need to go down further or so but the sound is amazing compared to my SHP9500.
The headphones are very analytical, I can hear compressors / eqs / 0.5 db changes when mixing. They have a good center image in songs and I can pickout instrument seperation good. Compared to SHP9500, it feels very "clear" "open" "detailed", shp9500 feels "blended" "compressed" "speakerish" like.
If you get these be prepared to hear many badly recorded vocal "sss"'s cutting through mixes of songs. I hadnt noticed it before but after getting these they stick out like a sore thumb, songs mixed by top egineers like serban ghenea / CLA don't have these problems so it's not the headphone lol. going back to my old headphone I also hear them but they're less prominent, kind of masked.
Overall I'd say it's one of the most detailed, crystal clear sounding headphones I've had. My HP history is K240, SHP9500, K701, Slate VSX, and these...
While analytical they also are still very musical, I enjoy listening on them, and the earpads give a slight pressure but its not uncomfortable and I have a big head and big ears, they fit over my whole ear easily.
would love to hear other ppls take on them...
