Depends how you like to eq, quality of drivers and its own tuning mostly,if driver is good so it can handle this EQ and if base tuning is more even say no hursh peaks on the graphs ,yeah they are EQable cause you don't push it on the limits mostly you tune down thing... basically when you tune something really flat you need more bass or treble,eq eventually put more stress on the drivers and sometime it cant handle it...

This is excellent info thanks!

The dick measuring contest between Musk and Bezos is top-level. Should be in the Guinness Book.

> At that level, the QC assurance should be absolutely top notch. No excuses.

People keep buying them with all the known issues so they have no reason to improve.

Those punks got some racket going on there, see?

All these headphone manufacturers are clip joints, see?

I've been thinking of getting some Focal Elex Refurbs, I do don't own a Focal and only $4XX

Meaning?

I dont blame you

Last year my friend ordered a desk off amazon, he literally got a PS5 it said the desk name on the box label. We imagined whoever got the PS5 just recieved a big ass box with a desk inside it.

Happy for you my man

Maybe. My preference is mostly /r/symphonicmetal with female vocals.

I have a pair of Focal Clear MG next to my hd600 and for hip hop EDM It's my favorite headphone. Quality does seem okay on the Focal. People having problems with the headbands. I'm scared so i baby it a lot.

You are gapped twice.

Any lossy codec discard out information.

If your source is lossy like Spotify, you will have some generation loss due to its lossy codec.

If you use Bluetooth, again you are using a lossy codec. In case of PX7 and iOS, the only common codec is the mandatory SBC.

Sounds like a disaster. However, what you can do is take a couple of lossless files (ALAC as Apple don't like FLAC) and load them on your phone. Also transcode them to e.g. 256 AAC.

Do a listening test (preferably unsighted). Can you really tel the lossless and the lossy sources apart over Bluetooth? Would be surprised.

I wouldn't say they sound better, they sound like two different headphones. The 400SE would sound a bit vivid in comparison, but the 600s feel like a jack of all trades kind of headphone for me. It might fix your sibilant issue though

I put mine in the original packaging, if available, or I put them in a Pelican case.

I've been using the he-x4 the past couple months. For something that regularly goes on sale for $80 to $100, they're really good. I like to keep my k712 at my desk, and these give me a taste of what I like about those. Plus they look pretty. I haven't tried the shures tho, I'll definitely put it on my list

>You're capped at 256 kbps AAC-LC.

No, according to https://www.bowerswilkins.com/nl-nl/product/headphones/px7-s2 it is Bluetooth 5.2 met aptX™ Adaptive. So no AAC as it is not supported by the PX7 and no APTX as it is not supported by iOS hence SBC as the only common codec.

I 2nd the Shure SRH840. Haven't tried the A, but I asked Shure themselves, and heres what they said: "Acoustically, they have a similar sonic signature to the original headphones with some improvements: lower total harmonic distortion characteristics and hand-sorted drivers with matched sensitivity to ensure clean, consistent and neutral audio reproduction. The biggest changes to the new ‘A’ models are improvements to the comfort, durability, weight and appearance."

Either way, I love the SRH840.

One of my favorite sets.

Damn you good bruh

Just came across this tip and it worked like a charm - thanks!

Ok, here is my take:

1. Even the same model headphones have different drivers. Even for the same headphones, right and left drivers do not match 100%, so obviously, you can not expect other model headphones to have the same driver.

2. No, you can not eq a "bad" driver to perfection since "bad" drivers will have audible harmonic distortion and phase mismatches. Those can not be fixed by eq.

3. There is no perfection in audio, but preferences and signatures are preferred by most people.

4. You can eq a driver with low distortion and no phase cancelations/mismatches (you can look at freq graph, and if there are multiple dips and peaks, that driver most likely has phase cancellation) You can eq that headphone to your liking and it will sound amazing.

Best of luck!

No. Still 256 kbps over Bluetooth. Only Lightning to USB DAC where you can get lossless and Hi-Res depending on your DAC capability

The bass amp is an interesting solution lol, my sub is "only" 150w and that's plenty. I imagine it's just out of curiosity and not an intended fix.

Didn't even tought about wavelength, my studio isn't anywhere close to 32 feet but i had a crazy peak in 33hz, i wouldn't know what to make of this. Have you tried moving the amp around ?
