It’s almost become a trend that when a new headphone especially expensive ones are released there seems to be a subjective hype going on about how better it is than every thing else previous. But this review right here is part of the prove that the latest is not always the greatest. and people need to calm down and stop prematurely abandoning their older headphones in excitement everytime a new headphone is released. Headphones seem to not be progressing the same way as DACs or Headphone Amps do over the years. Very interesting new review segment. waiting for more headphones.
Happy new year.
Blame audiophiles pushing the more money = better argument. The HD800 driver is on par with the HD650 with a horrid 6k spike, the LCD have weird FR that needs EQ, Stax's need mods/hard EQ to fix there -15db bass roll off. And most of them have the THD/FR oddness i expect from Grado, are they tuning by ear or never done actual R&D?. Remember when the ESP/95X review was posted few got sore enough to defend modding the L300ltd to stop the bass roll off which is $1100 with a charger?.
That not subjectivity in my view that just buyer remorse and them listening to ignorant people. Since these are same ones that will bash the ER4XR/High end grado for either THD or FR tuning.
