In this video comparison of a few different monitors (I know, cankt really compare over youtube…bla bla bla) the HEDD Type 07’s just seem to outclass the other monitors in the bass. Listen to the “Royals” clip on each. Am I just hearing deeper extension? I don’t think they spec any lower than the Neumann’s. They seem to have so much more texture to the bass.
Well, I have to agree, but what hits me most is the midrange. First, the clarity and the dynamism of the sound; it sounds restrained, yet not dull, detailed, but not too much so. The measurements presented after seem to back up your feeling about the bass, there is very low distortion, apparently we're not supposed to be able to hear the distortion much down there, but there is definitely something going on in the bass area.
Possible negatives, that woofer is really going some (perhaps better with subwoofer/s) and the treble occasionally has a 'one note' quality to it, but the latter may just be the particular recording (history repeating). I am
very interested in trying these speakers out. These are a potential bargain at the price.
Hearing the Neumann after was disappointing, the bass was very obviously missing and whilst detailed, the details seems a bit flat, not particularly dynamic (things weren't picked out in the way they were with the Hedd). I agree with the guy on the left, that after two hours you would likely feel tired (1:44.15 into video). Maybe not so if it had full bass extension, but then you are looking at the KH310 or KH420, both much more expensive. It would be interesting to hear the difference the midrange driver makes with those speakers.
