    So great to seeing your th808 review.
    By the way, could you give me an advise? Actually, I own the th808 and I am using it with great satisfaction.
    And, I watched your Abyss mr review today.
    The thing that I would like to ask you is, could you let me know which headphone has more forwarded vocal sound?, especially the mid and high tone of the Rock and Metal genre.
    I'm considering to purchase the Abyss MR for my next headphone and your advise will help me a lot.
    Thank you.

    Is this better than sony mdr z1r?

    • @ryanhostudio
      @ryanhostudio  5 місяців тому +1

      people are gonna be upset when i say i do because the z1r has a nasty treble stab peak that i cant handle, also the z1r upper midrange isnt very forward so vocals sound more muted, since its a more v shape type of sound

      @@RX-rd4sc i actually really wanted to buy the denon d7200 when i heard it in japan, it has such a pleasant tuning, theres nice bass, vocal presence with a nice treble. I personally prefer the d7200, the z1r does have good soundstaging capabilities and also looks very premium, but i really just dont like the vocal performance or that treble stab. I also heard the sony mdr mv-1 recently and i think thats my favorite sony headphone

    I have an original focal utopia and a he1000 stealth and enjoy them both and have no complaints. Do you think these fostex would be worth picking up as well?

    • @ryanhostudio
      @ryanhostudio  5 місяців тому

      i personally think it sounds more fun than the original focal utopia with its deep subbass and nice vocals. Since you have the he1000 stealth you would probably like the treble emphasis of the fostex th808 as well.

      @SaloonWrecker 5 місяців тому +1

      @ryanhostudio I almost exclusively listen to EDM and I value detail and bass more than anything else. Sounds like the fostex bass would appeal to me, but the detail of the utopia probably excites me most. How do the fostex technicalities compare to the sets I have?

    is it better than Diana MR?

    • @ryanhostudio
      @ryanhostudio  5 місяців тому

      i think more people might like the th808 in the sense that it has more subbass and bass boost, and it has a more mid treble too, but at the same time it has alot more upper treble too so people might not like the aspect of it in respect to tuning. I think the diana mr sounds more open and detailed though but maybe less exciting than the th808

      All of Denon headphones are made by Fostex. Fostex, or Foster Electric who bought them years ago. It just says denon but it is the same company. Source : Spoke to the Importer.

    First HiFiMan started cutting prices. Then other Chinese firms started building highly competitive models for amazing prices. Now Japan's Fostex is cutting their prices under the guise of a new model. I think the era of ridiculous pricing is coming to a close. The field is becoming saturated wiith fantastically excellent headphones and electronics.

    • @ryanhostudio
      @ryanhostudio  5 місяців тому +1

      yeah the price cutting is probably indicator either economy is tighter and more headphone competition!
