      @Nutellah I'll go to bat for the Focals though. Their frequency response is fantastic for many instrumentals and jazz, but not great for pop and rock. The more organic the source, the more they shine.
      But as for hated brands, that's Bose and Beats. I agree that Grados are overrated today, but I think that's because they refuse to deviate from the sound signature that make them famous. Consider the options that made them famous. The SR60 was decent in 1994 if you didn't have Stax or Sennheisers. Heck, the SR60 was my first decent quality headphone and they'll always have a place in my heart for that reason.
      Finally, you may not like Dan Clark Audio (formerly MrSpeakers), but I was pretty impressed with the Voce.

    That last headphone creator "we don't use meters and graphs". That tells me he assumes everyone hears like he does. People have different shaped ears. that's why we use "meters and graphs" to measure the actual sound coming to your ears. Don't trust people like that

It skews the results in the favour of the super high end, due to the different type of audio, and specific songs.

      That's basically snake oil marketing on their part. Everything is measurable.
      For example, the "being there" experience can be measured with great source material, which leads to creating headphones and using the proper design, materials, and components to reproduce those measurements.
      Science has it's place. Stating otherwise, is way of companies getting away with their own hype, marketing, and big prices.

      theberndog Grados are a joke in the headphone community. Very few people like any of their higher end models. Also, what you said about mp3s isn't necessarily true. The difference between a 320kbps mp3 or ogg, aac etc. and a lossless file isn't noticeable for a majority of people. Most people also don't have a good enough source to hear the difference anyways.

      128kbps is borderline ok, still passable, but countless ABX tests on the best amps, Dacs and headphones show the human ear cant tell the difference between 256 kbps and completely lossless. And science also confirms this as the "lossy" portion is entirely inaudible to the human ear anyhow. Also, allegorically, I cant tell the difference of 256 and lossless on my $1000+ headphone system. So jokes on you for wasting harddrive space on "lossless" snake oil. All you're "hearing" with lossless is selection bias.
      $2000 will make mp3s and lossless sound better and make you enjoy well recorded/mastered music better. What it wont do is enable you to tell the difference between 192kbps and lossless. It's humanly impossible. It's snake oil.

      @@leowzhilin The opinions are subjective tbh, I wouldn't recommend my set (Sony DMP-Z1 with Z7 as headphones) to you since it's too pricey, it's a gigantic player with a built-in amp. As for music format, I listen to DSD for classical music mostly, better than flac in terms of details, sounds are richer. But if you want an entry level combo just go with the Sony A55 with some decent amp, choose a headphone that suits your taste, it's good enough if you're not being picky. I recommend Sony because their retail store allows you to try their products with their amps. And last, don't use the phone as a player, if you can't tell the differences between a phone and a walkman, then probably you don't need products like this. But anyway I suggest try them on before you make any purchases.

      Pretty sure that Grado has an advantage given that it was played with John's personal set-up, DACs, Amps, and all other goodies. I'd be more surprised if the Grado didn't come on top.

    • @indomieismybae
      @indomieismybae 5 років тому +4

      PS2000 sounds great because they listen it using the proper setup that the builders use to tune it. Then it makes sense.
      But if you went on using it with your own DAP then it would be a completely different story IMO.

    • @dgmojojojo
      @dgmojojojo 5 років тому +4

      Open back is not a pros or cons. It’s preference. Open back headphone pros is that they gives you more spacious sound stage feeling but the cons is you can hear your surrounding bleeds. It is good for home listening or when you walk or drive in the street for safety reason. Closed back is better for studio or when you commute or sitting at public area and “shutting down world”

    It wasnt just the Grados. They were listening to vinyl on probably a very expensive system. That all matters. If they were listening to the $80 Grados (which are awesome) on that setup, they'd probably be blown away too.

    Take into account that in the last headphones not only the headphones are much better but the all the audio chain is also much much better than listening trough bluetooth to a mp3 file.
