Sennheiser HD 25 Review

The Sennheiser HD 25 are no-fuss, lightweight, on-ear headphones. As wired-only headphones, their comfortable design with a neat headband that splits for added s...

yep their conclusion mirrors mine:

 

[Graph Feppar]

Bose Quietcomfort
Bose Quietcomfort Ultra
Sony WH-1000XM5
Sennheiser Momentum 4
Sennheiser Accentum Plus
Focal Bathys

The quietcomforts look like best ANC headphones but looking at RTINTS distortion graphs they seem to have high distortion at 100db. I want their distortion behaviour closely examined becose I have theory that their distortion is much lower at normal quieter listening levels. The Ultras have bizzare broadband midrange distortion at 100db, but low bass thd, very strange.

I'm really eager to see what happens with the OAE1s when they come out.

I hear you but it's an obsolete model, everything evolves ..or at least it is said so

One thing I can guarantee still holds true. Massively overpriced

"Luxury series" probably, but other models not far from "mainstream / mid" segment market, let's say..

ULTRASONE SIGNATURE PURE - €169,00
ULTRASONE ISAR WIRELESS - €199

Is Amir going to get a DMS Omega? I ordered one, so I could send it his way... And actually, speaking of DMS, he just went over the top on the Hisenior Mega5EST in his latest review, would be curious to see how that matches up elsewhere.

ZMF Atrium is another one I really want to see a review of.

Lots of other IEMs currently getting hype that I want to see: Tanchjim Origin, Thieaudio Hype 4, Pula PA02, Myer Audio CKLVX CK-D41, Myer Sliivo SL41

Of course keeping up with chinese IEMs is probably an exercise in futility...

Tanchjim Origin IEM Review

This is a review, detailed measurements and listening tests of Tanchjim Origin IEM. It was sent to me by the company and costs US $260. Everything from packaging and look and feel of the Origin is a huge step up from the budget IEMs we have tested in the past. The ear pieces themselves feel...

ThieAudio Ghosts.

Oratory1990 has measured tons of headphones: https://www.reddit.com/r/oratory1990/wiki/index/list_of_presets/

If a headphone measures well, is well constructed, does not weigh too much, cost too much, or is very difficult to drive, it should be a candidate for purchase whether or not it has been measured here.

Austrian Audio Hi-X60

 

[Human Bass]

Fiio JT1. Only 69usd and great reviews

Except we have a few more in depth measurements like distortion which is useful to see, as well as Amir's subjective review of the headphone after EQ which can reveal some hidden issues that aren't seen in the frequency response alone - stuff like clipping of the driver in the bass when pushed. I've bought headphones though after just seeing the Oratory measurement.

JBL Tune 770nc

JBL is large manufacturer of headphones yet there is comparatively very little reviews and measurements except RTINGS. I tried these in the shop and was positively impressed. The earpad foam is proper memory grade, step up from Sony ch720n, the clamping force is on higher end but I actually like this as it takes the weight from top of my head. The earpads are small, yet the combo of good quality pleather and foam make them comfortable, they are little like over-ear + on-ear hybrid. The battery last long, they have low latency gaming mode and should be able to use LC3 codec when LC3 adapters become avaliable like the Creative BT-L3.

I see people in the bus and in city all the time with these yet if you go on internet, its like nobody talks about them.
