    I can't believe there was actually some love thrown at the HD569. Years ago I picked up those and the K361 because I needed something closed and not too expensive for at the office. I really enjoyed both, but ended up keeping the HD569. Eventually I sold them too, since I've been working from home for years, but we just had to start going into the office so I did another head-to-head battle. Once again, I picked the HD569. I like the tuning and detail on the K361 a bit better, but they are extremely narrow, not quite as comfortable (even with my small ears and head), build quality is not as good, and their sound is very seal-dependent so things get wonky when you move your head around.

    Lot's of retailers are selling the Focal Clear Pro MG for 200-300 off and I pulled the trigger on them last week. They do have fantastic mid-range focus especially in the vocal area. They aren't warm sounding like you'd get from sennheiser vocals, but in terms of overall detail and analytics, the Pro MG's are just fantastic for picking vocals apart. I love using them for rock and not so much for orchestral music because the timbre/soundstage is lacking for me personally.

      @@fisherman9435clear mg is a big departure from elex. Elex is underrated especially for the price. I have Arya stealth and Clear MG. I had Elex and thought it had a driver issue and returned it and got an ananda but came to find out it was my amp… Elex has a better top end imo over the mg which is a lot darker on top without EQ ; MG is also more in your head sound. Wish I would have kept the Elex as ananda is similar to Arya.

    This was a really, really fun video. As far as the under $100 price range, I really do like the HD 569, but the HD 599 is often discounted to $98, I actually got it for $79 on prime day! And the HD 599 is to me the more refined headphone, the best Sennheiser, under 100 when it is under 100.

    Joshua, I need some quick advice. I'm retired but have a nice speaker system with Martin-Logan Classic ESL9 Electro statics. I just bought an Aune S17 Class A headphone amp. I have good DACS too. Back around 2016 and later, I bought several pairs of headphones without seeking advice. They are in nice condition but today appear not to be worth more than around $50 each. They are: Sennheiser Momentum Brown leather, NAD VISO HP50, Sony MDR 7506, Phillips Fidelio X2, and Sennheiser HD660S. Which 2 or 3 should I sell and how much would I have to spend to get something better than any of them?

    Audeze are a staple for recording/mixing engineers/mastering engineers, and I confer. The LCDX is where it's at. The new MM's have too much in the bottom end for me. The LCD1's($400 ish?)are good when paired with Goodhertz Canopenr plugin, and some sort of eq correction software(anyone will work, however the exact eq curve for this specific headphone is different in each plugin!). And the Sennheiser 600's or 650's are the entry point into the mixing realm, they are too bright for me though so need to keep that in mind with them, but their usable you'll have to check your mix quit often however! The Audeze Maxwell are surprisingly good entry-point as well, when used with a cord. However their software is crap, and doesn't work half the time, and still a year after they came out, does not work completely on PC(you cannot use the eq on PC, only on the phone), which is pointless for me personally...For this reason I wouldn't get them. Oh and the mic absolutely sucks! Would love to know if there's a 3rd party replacement that will cure the terrible sound quality of the mic at all? Oh and I forgot Hedd's HEDDphone TWO, the closest thing to have studio monitors strapped to your head that I've ever heard. However I haven't delved into audiophile prices above this point. Surprised that Audeze isn't more in the list tbh.

    Well my two high end headphones at the moment are the arya stealth and the lcd 2c. I bought the 2c last year during audeze's b stock sale and absolutely love it. The bass and vocals are insane on it. I recently bought the arya stealth for a change of pace and because I'm really getting into music now as my go to after work. These headphones are insanely comfortable and they sound full. I can tell the vocals are a little more recessed than I'm used to, but everything sounds really filled out. The arya sounds how I expect the music to sound if that make sense. I love them both though and switch them throughout the day. I'm running them off a fiio k7 and loving the experience.

    Can someone help me with the differences between the HD560S and the 600? Which one is a more well rounded headphone? Currently I've been testing the 560S and the HifiMan Edition XS. Surprisingly I actually seem to be preferring the sound on the 560S so far, so I'm considering sending the Edition XS back. But I was also thinking of getting the 600 so I can compare the two Sennheisers as well.

    • @LastAphelion
      @LastAphelion 8 месяцев назад

      Interesting. Un EQed it would be XS for me no contest as they have tremendous sub bass, and the 560S made everything in the mid bass range sound like it was a room away from me, punchless and with painfully overwhelming highs. Sadly I did not have a chance to try the 560S EQed however I wish I could have given them the chance. Just from others descriptions I think I would have preferred the 600 out of the box more but we also probably have different listening preferences.

  • @EyesackWorley
    @EyesackWorley 8 месяцев назад +5

    I'm glad the lcd 2c is still reccomended. I bought it back in 2020 for 500 thinking it was a steal, now they go for 400. The value is amazing and the raw technicality is on par with some low midrange studio monitors, while still being easy to listen to. Needs eq but with them they are my favorite headphone, only beaten by the stax sr009, lcd 5, and the susvara. Everything else I've tried is only nominally better technicality wise and none have as pleasing a bass response. Its like 85% of the best audio I could imagine possible for 400 dollars.

    • @LastAphelion
      @LastAphelion 8 месяцев назад +1

      I may be returning the XS after just a few days with them, this is the first headphone I've had with this much sub bass and so it's actually my first time discovering that I don't like this much sub bass. It's so distracting and fatiguing, everything is excessively rumbling and giving me the feeling of like when your in a car and the wind is buffeting and loudly slapping right into your ear hole, I feel actually discombobulated like I'm being sonicly attacked, so I guess I have an ultra low frequency sensitivity because I otherwise love violent mid bass. I've tried the harmon and other eqs and lowering the bass, but it still isn't enough for some games, videos, or music where I have to crank the volume down too low. I otherwise like them, minus the design and comfort issues. They're the best soundstage I've yet experienced. Anyone who has ever complained that these don't have enough bass has not powered them enough, or wants their ear drums destroyed (you're weird).
      Edit I returned them and am trying Nanos next 🤞

      I've had the Nano for a month now. What I've learned is that the Nano is more elevated and clear in the upper ranges and is almost the exact tune that I need for both competitive and immersive gaming. However some music may sound better on the Nanos, and some will sound better on the XS. I actually miss the deep loooong bass extension and rumble of the XS on many things. The nano has tighter bass but I actually wish I had the knowledge to tune the XS perfectly to my tastes as I would then keep them. BUT. The nano feels more well constructed. The strap angle may or may not be more comfortable for some people, but for me it's at the wrong angle and keeps pushing the cups too forward or back to where I want them. So yeah if you know how to tune headphones I would recommend saving the money and going XS.

    I just binge watched like all videos in the middle of the night. I have just a steelseries nova pro gaming headphones so this is totally new to me. Was curious on the Sennheiser 800s since many RUclips audiophile recommended them. But after watching I will try the HD 6xx from drop. I think it will be a massive improvement overall and can´t wait to get them and try them out

    @7:22 i picked the Audeze lcd-2 classic over the Hifiman Arya bc i enjoyed listening to music on the 2C vs the Arya. The Arya sounded too bright to my ears, and while its an exceptional technical headphone, it didnt make me enjoy listening to muaic for whatever reason. It is more comfortable and lighter than the 2C though
    The lcd-2c, to my ears, had better bass response and slam compared to the Arya. The 2C sounded more natural to me. Has a warm, dark aound signature but still clear sounding

    I can't figure out how you like the Clear OGs and don't recommend the Elex enough. Maybe the lack of bass? Frankly I find it refreshing as it lets the mids take center stage in the overall sound presentation. I also suggest to explain the overall sound quality a bit more concisely : e.g. Focal's entire lineup is very punchy, dynamic and rhythmic, Hifimans are airy and wide etc. Love your content creation skills but please be a bit more concise because a lot of us rely on opinion leaders like yourself to guide a meaningful purchase decision.

    I know everyone is going to roast me as an idiot, but sort of went with the Grado cult ever since the first gen SR-80 wowed me 16 years ago and never really steered away from it. (Staring at my desk.)
    I was even crazy enough to just mod a pair of SR-225i drivers into the old SR-80 and change the cable instead of spending $200 in buying a new headphone for an upgrade just a week ago.
    The upgrade worked surprisingly well as a first gen SR-225 replica and I think I can still let my modded SR-80 go strong for another 16 years as my daily driver.
    I was even a bit upset that I was dumb enough to skip the original first gen SR-225 as everyone said it was only the sweetspot if you don't have enough budget.
    It wasn't a budget friendly sweetspot and it have it's charm that belongs to itself.
    Grados just have a weird magic that works on me that I never really found in other brands so I just stuck with the same formula evertime I bought a new headphone for my collection.
    I mean there was that time when a really sick bargin for a 2nd hand Audeze LCD-2C came out, but the owner of the store also had a displayed Grado GS-2000e on sale.
    After giving both a fair try, I still ended up bringing a fourth pair of Grado back because I think God almighty really don't want me to miss out my dream target. (I've set my goal on owning a set of GS series of any model as a personal trophy on my early years into the hobby, and it didn't dissapoint.)

      Advice to anyone that buys it:
      Make sure you strech the head band enough. Keep increasing the length by one on each side and try to find where it sounds best. Don't do too much though. When I first got this I thought 2-3 clicks were enough but I was wrong. 6-8 is best depending on how long my hair is. Once you find the right length, you still need to do micro adjustments (and I really do mean micro). Try moving the headphones in a circular motion to get the music centered. The music shouldn't be in front of you, it should be around your face/head. There's a sweet spot in there somewhere (I'd argue that that there are 3 levels of sweetness, each harder to find than the last), where your songs aren't that screamy. Sometimes even with my own advice I can't find that sweet spot so I still think these are overrated.
