Stumbled across this one:
I'm wondering if this is in any way a somewhat representative indication of what these headphones could sound like.
(hint: skip the talking and just listen to the samples, at the end he discloses which HP is which)
This video is so wrong on so many levels!
- do you choose a hifi system, if someone plays it in another room and you are allowed to listen in through paper cups and some string?
Listening to a sound system, recorded by god knows what microphone, what gear, how much compression used by Youtube, on whose computer and whose speakers! This is flawed to the bone!
- Almost all, Hifiman in particular, require a good 40+ hours of burning in at least! diaphragms are new, earcups are new, winding etc. all new, they need burning in to settle in.
only after couple of weeks, one can tell if they like the sound or not, that's why decent headphone manufacturers allow you to return the items, if not liked.
