      @user-ot6ti9mu3i agreed! Don't have a lot of experience with $300 and up market, so that's why i would love to hear their take on these. But yeah, more than happy with my JT1. Spot on with punchy bass without it being too muddy.

      some people say they don't seal properly at the bottom so i would try them in a store before actually getting them, changing pads should also be super easy since they're held by just a seam in the cups

    For a affordable closed-back with proper audiophile performance and a genuine neutral tuning, I can recommend the ETA Mini Closed, it my not look impressive being a boutique product made by real audiophiles but it truly delivers on everything else.

      @@18yearsoldnot Tried it had to return it because of the tuning, the treble was too harsh for me, it is a little too neutral and cold not a sound that appeals to everyone. It is also slightly less comfortable than the HD599. the hd6xx and the pc38x on the other hand have a tuning that is easy to listen to

    • @18yearsoldnot
      @18yearsoldnot 4 місяці тому

      @@AkaSora96 I partially agree. I don’t have the 560s but I have the 6xx and the 660s and for me the 6xx was also a much more pleasant listen, however, if you have a very specific type of amp, the 660s can sound very relaxing. I believe this can apply to 560s - point being that 560s and 660s are mistaken for being harsh when actually they are just analytical and revealing of your equipment. The proof for this is that if you look at the frequency response graphs online, the 6xx isn’t much different to the other headphones. My amp I use which is smooth is an older fully class a solid state amp that you have to let warm up for a couple hours… arcam r head, with an arcam sa30 integrated amp, which is a $1500 amp/dac chain… but yeah, revealing headphones can be smooth is my point. On a budget though I’m not sure how I would replicate it - probably not even possible with cheaper dongle dacs

Major reviewers like headphones show guys and everyone else refuse to review it no matter how I contact them or leave comments. They have won the jp awards like 3 years in a row, not the Sonys.

    I don't understand why people keep recommending the k361... The difference between the k361 and the k371 was immense when I tested both, the k371 was sooo much better. The k371 was clearer, not muddy, had better detail, resolution, etc, it was JUST better. I still wouldn't recommend the k371, unless you don't mind the hassle with the fit and care a lot about the aesthetics.
