Edit: weird shit sorted out.
Methinks there are some games being played.
Some bans coming...not cool.

LOL, "prominent member". I have been here less than a year. But this is a good idea for another Bingo square, "Other reviewers should measure the unit"Headphones.com sends out headphones to their community as well as other reviewers on their own dime all the time so I'm sure they would have no problem paying shipping to have it go to Resolve.
For a prominent member of a forum that's all about science, you sure push back a lot against things that would produce scientific results.
So not 2021 ”Hifiman”!
Why not “Hifiwoman” ?
I think Lake People got the branding thing rightHifiMxn ?
Sorry, are you saying these two accounts are the same person? How can you see his coordinates? Is this something that only admins can see?Funny that you and @Resolve share the same lat/long...with you being a proud American and all...

Using sock puppets.If @Resolve is also @iamaproudamerican that would be hilarious but also someone should make a youtube video about it!!!!

You wouldn't be because there would be no scoring of how well you were doing in hitting those balls. In other words, no verification of what you were doing.I have been to the driving range and hit thousands of golf balls. I must be a pro golfer then.
Correct which applies to any outrage you have regarding my measurements. You are operating from the point of view of having an idea of this headphone's performance and want to shoehorn it into my review. That doesn't work. You should do your own stand-alone review and measurements and then come here to defend it. Otherwise protesting in the public square means nothing.Unless I hit all those balls with the wrong technique. Then those thousands of shots mean nothing except I got a good workout.
Really? Here is a review from headphones.com: https://www.headphones.com/blogs/news/hifiman-ananda-reviewub bass drop off that is not there in reality
- Ananda plays very low frequencies but because there is not bass shelf those are hard to hear
- I tested some of the test tracks from Amir and my head hurts with sub bass that my Ananda produces here
Yes
It's secret.
Yes
I have a few tools that can be very useful.
Conclusions
The focus with Hifiman Ananda seems to be "big is good." I agree with that especially when combined with low weight. There is something really nice about wearing two 6 inch speakers suspended on each side of your ear. Alas, many compromises were made in execution of this headphone causing roughness in frequency response in addition to macro tonality issues. Fortunately correcting the tonality also helped with distortion factors but in my opinion, not fully.
If you have this headphone, then I suggest trying the EQ as I have proposed and tune to it taste. The result should be quite satisfying and unique. If you don't have it, I can't recommend that you buy the Hifiman Ananda. It just has too many flaws which I feel the company could have dealt with prior to releasing it.
That's not the reviewer/YouTube guy "Resolve" tho, right?For example, he just tried to create another name/account.
So sad. Pathetic even.
Really? Here is a review from headphones.com: https://www.headphones.com/blogs/news/hifiman-ananda-review
" the Ananda's punch and slam quality is a bit lacking for most of its frequency response. ....
This means that the Ananda has a somewhat softer presentation overall, lacking some of the visceral impact that some highly excursive dynamic driver headphones like the Focal Elear or Elex offer. "
Here is the measurement he shows (which is so hard to read -- why do people do this?):
Orange is Ananda. notice the droop starting at 35 Hz. Same transition point my measurements show:
He uses a wider aspect ratio and larger vertical scale which tends to hide details (in addition to smoothing/averaging).
I prefer the Ananda soundstage with my ears centered in the earcups - when I lay down the Ananda can move out of position over time - slide back putting my ears forward of the center, so I push the headphones forward occasionally to reposition them.Positioning matters a lot for Ananda. Positioning a little back solves most high frequency peaks.
Can you define "proper seal" and be more specific about the data you are referring to?I'm concerned the lack of proper seal on the rig may skew some of the data you present and I would find them personally inconclusive, especially when you look at data found elsewhere on the Ananda.
