often. It's reproducible. btw. I always find it amusing how in other forums members spend $ 1000 on a cable and live with the conviction that the bass is now much more voluminous. at the same time the equalizer is frowned upon ...How many times can you reproduce this
experience when listening to the Utopia? Probably not even a single one ;-) !!
The texture of a bass the cable for 1000$ can (re)produce is way more beefy than a shoddy EQoften. It's reproducible. btw. I always find it amusing how in other forums members spend $ 1000 on a cable and live with the conviction that the bass is now much more voluminous. at the same time the equalizer is frowned upon ...

So they can build a headphone that is perfect for all ears? Eq everything. The best don't need too much or don't distort when you add more.For this price I would expect no need of EQ.
BravoAfter some time on this thread, I broke down and ordered a pair... of HD800Ss. I am gonna hold out for the next generation of this headphone.

Then these will sound just fine for you, as the review states. But I'd suggest these probably aren't aimed at you. Or me. Or most folks.I use headphones with my digital piano and other instruments, computer, TV, HiFi and phone. I am too lazy to arrange EQ setups on all those things. I am happy with reasonably good headphones, without EQ needs.

I hear that. I'm finally retiring my '82 DeRosa after many years of service and a quality "good, but not outstanding" bike isThis or a new mountain bike?

I don't know if it is diffraction, reflections or what. I prefer to not see this in high-end headphone.
You have cheap taste in bikes... ;-)
Interesting theory. The 800s indeed has similar irregularities :I strongly suspect this is present in the HD800(s) as well. It has very reflective earcups inside and I find the effect audible.
It seems to me this is a fairly new 'trick' by some headphone manufacturers to add artificial 'space' to dry recordings.
Any chance of updating the HD800s review with group delay measurements as well?
Great to see Thank you for checking!Interesting theory. The 800s indeed has similar irregularities :

We will have to look to see if there is a trend here.
