    Introduction to TY Hi-Z Earbud Family: Mega Review

    They appeared alongside the HE 150PRO. Both use the same housing but the TY HI-Z is 300Ohm. Judging from specs the Ty seem to be more efficient regardless.

    Introduction to TY Hi-Z Earbud Family: Mega Review

    So the HP150 has the same harsh highs than the HP32 ? Well they can be damped with the thick foam to an extent.

    Introduction to TY Hi-Z Earbud Family: Mega Review

    I read everything but I could not what I was looking for. He compares to the other DIY earbuds HE-150 and some physical aspects but no mention of frequencies or how do they scale (or not) as they get more impedance. So far from what I read I'd say they all have pretty much the same FR with minor...

    Introduction to TY Hi-Z Earbud Family: Mega Review

    I'm glad I found this thread. I decided to try the HP-32 since a guy said they had more sub-bass than the VE Monks, and it was true. However the HP-32 besides having more sub-bass is less warm overall with sharper highs and more air. I'm wondering about the higher impedance ones, do they change...

    Yenona Adapter-Free DJ Headphones

    I didn't try that particular bluetooth dongle but tried 2 different ones of the same style and the sound has a very noticeable bass rolloff. I think they're designed with a high output impedance (I read something like 16 Ohm) for line in connection so they don't match well with low impedance...

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    I don't recommend the ZS3, it sounds "confused" to my ears. The bass bleeds into the low mids and there's some chops in the FR. The ZST is clearly a bright IEM and I know no alternative on the price range, whereas the ZS3 is bassy and there's better alternatives on the cheap like hybrid pistons...

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    I've been enjoying the KZ ZST a lot lately but I can detect some ringing/harshness in the 3k-8k range. Since the ED12 is like the same without the BA I was wondering if it removed some of the ringing, has anyone tried both of them ? The ZS3 was not good for me, something about the shape makes me...

    How do we actually know what a flat frequency response even is ?

    I've had this conundrum in my mind for a long time. It's kind of the problem of "What was first, the egg or the chicken" (In that case the egg was first since that egg was given birth by a close relative of chickens at some point). We all know microphones don't read frequencies in a flat...

    Headphones for metal music - ultimate solution

    I think the Ultrasone S-Logic depends more on the relative location of the driver outside the ear. The idea of S-Logic is to place the driver on the back of the ear so it takes into account that you'll place the headphones in such position that the sound will be coming indirectly to the ear...

    Headphones for metal music - ultimate solution

    I had this exact same reaction when listened to the Ultrasone Edition 8 headphone demo from Sonic Sense Pro Audio. https://soundcloud.com/sonic-sense-pro-audio/ultrasone-edition-8?in=sonic-sense-pro-audio/sets/headphones-test Those headphones have some kind of siblance, resonance harshness...

    Superlux Express Train

    The Hifiman velour pads work amazing for me. They're a little stiff but since the clamp is not too tight, they sit comfortably on your head. The good thing about this pads is that they allow for the driver to sit at a proper distance and don't produce this "tube bass port" effect you get with...

    Chinese / Asian Brand Info Thread (On or Over Ear Headphones)

    That proprietary cable connector looks exactly like the Audio Technica M40x / M50x type. It could also be the Shure SRH or the Phillips Fidelio one. You can simply go to a mall or wherever they sell music studio equipment and try an exhibition unit, request the vendor to show you the...

    Yenona Adapter-Free DJ Headphones

    Got that exact same model. The one with white stitching seems to be the oldest and the photos only remain as an oddity at this point. How much do you pay for the pads only ? I wouldn't mind trying the ones with the red stitching as well, I'm a pad enthusiast if that's a thing.

    Yenona Adapter-Free DJ Headphones

    I've got some news. Received my Yenonas today, of course I'm drooling all over those pads. The package is very minimal and no-nonsense, small box, cable/microphone and carrying bag. I can't give the best appreciation about the sound yet but so far I had a great time listening to the Redout...

    What causes ear fatigue?

    I've noticed spikes in the frequency response are not as fatiguing as resonances/ringing. Some headphones/drivers have fundamental resonances and they keep moving after a certain frequency, you can see this in the decay graphs. Many headphones resonate in the subs area but there's also many that...
