What headphones would you like Amir to measure next?

I'd love to see these measured:
- Senn HD700

Awesome. Any plans on also testing the noise canceling features?

I don't have a setup for that yet.

I posted these in another thread. I'd really like to see the Sony MDR-G61 measured:

I used to use them a lot.

 

[John_M]

[Svperstar]

[amirm]

Sorry, was typing on the phone and got it wrong. It is AKG N700NC.

The AKG K371's have become my daily driver.

Just sayin'

Would like to see some more Audeze models measured, too bad I live about 3000 miles away from @amirm, shipping the LCD-3f in it's case will be costly, and I wouldn't feel safe sending them without the case.

On my current record I am not doing too well in regards to owning what I thought was pretty passable gear.

One reads often that a particular pair of headphones are used throughout the recording industry, The Sony MD-7506 and the Audio-Technica MX50.

One other that has been around for a while and apparently widely used is the Sennheiser HD280 Pro (version 1). I haven't heard the ATMX50's but I do own the MX40's. I can't think of three such different headphones being contemporaneously, simultaneously and equally preferred in the recording industry.

The Sennheiser is the cheaper of the three here in Oz and can be had for AUD$129 which sometimes in $US is equal to mere beads and feathers.

So I put my hand up for the 280 even if it means being once again proven that I have a pair of tin ears by @amirm.

Philips SHP9500
2 reasons:
1. I have them

It might not be obvious, yet pro-audio doesn't necessarily have the same needs as hi-fi market.

It's funny how (I believe it went exactly this way) Rtings uses Harman/Diffused Field mutant as their reference curve for no specific reason, apart from "this sounds more reliable to us", and don't actually point that out everywhere, when it should be ready to reference, since they mostly provide compensated graphs. Causes a lot of confusion, since their curve is - at least - unreliable when it comes to comparison with anyone else.

I'm eager to see Amir's test of the AKG K371.

So far, I'm lukewarm to my pair.

Not the very best for classical music, but I love it with 1960's styled pop production. These headphones have a love affair with plate echo. I've been listening to 1960's country and R & B compilations on my DAP, and I like the eq of the 'phones just as it is. While the Drop 6XX/Topping E/L30 combo [I like to live dangerously] eq-ed has more refinement and detail, the K371's sound great plugged into my computer's built in headphone jack or my low power DAP. Also, they're closed back, which is useful under current circumstances, seeing as I'm sharing a small space with someone else making their own kind of noise.
