What headphone(s) do you own ?

Well, yeah. Why should a subpar driver and a subpar bass shaker combine to be magic?

Unless you upgrade to the 1236....[/QUOTE]

That's the point. It adds impact to something that can't even play deep, which doesn't help.

The Genelec 8260 has superior diffraction control, accuracy, dispersion, and probably soundstsage.

The 1236 simply goes loud, though yeah, it looks like it can push out even more bass. I'm happy right now getting down to about 18hz flat.

The 1236 is not only much louder but has much higher and earlier directivity so is far superior for higher listening distances, also the 18 Hz point isn't really an advantage as such low bass leads in most rooms just to a peak there which you anyway have to EQ back to flat:

There is a reason why also main monitors are offered, not only by Genelec.

@Roasty a fine collection. Glad you enjoy them.

ATH M50 and no ATH M40x. M50 needs repair.

AKG K712 Pro, AKG K7xx(Yes they sound different!) DT 770's

Thinking how a headphone can be neutral with recessed sub-bass?

Always wondered that?

AKG K712 Pro, AKG K7xx(Yes they sound different!)

Now the $10,000 question, which do you prefer?

Now the $10,000 question, which do you prefer?

AKG K712 Pro's easily as soon as i put them on i noticed a slightly bigger sound stage and more clear mid-bass. I had to like triple check cause i thought i was crazy but then i looked at the frequency response and yeah the K7XX have a good 5db of increased "bass" vs the 701's where the 712's really do only have 3db as advertised.

Not to mention even if i barely moved my head the K7XX would creak and pop all the time drove me crazy lol

Audio Technica ATH-ES10
Oppo PM-3
Roland RH-200 (came with an old Roland edrum kit)

I listen mostly to DSF files through my LG V30S smartphone and prefer the AT phones for sound and the OPPO's for comfort. I still use the Rolands for edrum monitoring for which they are surprisingly good.

I have a pair of Grado RS2e and a pair of Klipsch HP 3. I like the Grado but the Klipsch are much better. Totally different phones , different price range but the Klipsch is well worth the $850 I paid for them.

 

[Get a hearing test]

Just hd600 and hd598. Wanna at some point get a headphone that digs really deep bass. Im leaning towards HD650 or massdrop HD6XX.

 

[Mittrei]

LCD-2C
K712 Pro
ATH M50x
Etymotic ER-3XR

Have been wanting a new pair of closedback since I'm not satisfied anymore with the ATH's.

I'm increasingly coming to the conclusion that I just don't like headphones. Too bad I've wasted so much time and money coming to this conclusion ...

That said, my current collection, such as it is:

Focal Elex (only use this late at night, and when I'm in my home office)
Grado SR225 (I've had this for 20 years and it's still just as awful, and just as awesome, now as it was in 1999!)
Shure SE535
Sony WH-1000XM3 (by far the most used - great for travel, sounds good-ish especially when EQed to the Harman OE target)

 

[Psyber]

Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO 80ohm using an old Creative SoundBlaster Z soundcard.
