Beyerdynamic DT 1350 headphones REVIEW
March 25, 2016 Comments Off on Beyerdynamic DT 1350 headphones REVIEW
” Getting down to the business of listening to the DT 1350 didn’t feel like work, as acoustic music had an organic natural quality. Voices inside these headphones sounded like actual human voices, imagine that! Flying Lotus’ “Until the Quiet Comes” album is jam-packed with texturally and rhythmically dense instrumentals that practically massaged my ears with its low bass beats. The DT 1350 plumbs the depths of the music, no problem.”
HiFiMan HE-560 Over-the-Ear Headphones Reviewed

“The HE-560 has gone through a couple of small design changes since its introduction. The most noticeable cosmetic change was the enclosure, which was originally made of wooden cups; however, they were prone to developing cracks, so the company replaced the wood with a laminate and completely redesigned the enclosures. The earpads were also changed both in composition and physical structure. The current earpads are softer with a slight wedge-shaped angle that puts the back of the headphone slightly farther away from your ears than the front. My review sample had the current earpads and cup design, but the older cable connection. The headband design has not changed. It depends on the spring tension of its metal section for side pressure. My preference would be for slightly less pressure.”

” To my ears, the obvious difference between the Edition Xes and the HE1000s was in the treble. So I put on “Airpower,” from Larry Coryell and Philip Catherine’s Twin House (16[-bit]/44.1[kHz] WAV, Wounded Bird), an album of acoustic-guitar duets that’s especially revealing of treble quality. The HE1000s got “Airpower” pretty much right, with extremely clear but not overemphasized sounds of picks on strings, and fingers sliding up and down fretboards. The guitars’ bass notes also sounded wonderfully resonant through the HE1000s; I got a real sense of the instruments’ soundboards vibrating. “It might be just a tad bright, but it still kicks ass,” I wrote in my notes”

Final Audio Sonorous REVIEW

” What’s more, the ear-cushion-driver-cup assemblies become your very private dual-mono listening rooms. If the cushions leak, it’s like opening French doors right behind your speakers. The bass could disappear. If internal reflections aren’t controlled or managed, a sealed headphone could sound like a nearly empty hard room. Think lots of glass, tile floors and no absorptive materials like curtains, carpets, pillows and overstuffed furnishings. You’d expect a very bright sound. It’s only at first glance then that the notion of headphone ear pads being sonically critical seems silly or perverse. Once you realize how they’re an intrinsic part of your temporary double ‘rooms’ to help define their composite shape, volume and relative lossiness or absorptive index of the walls, it all makes perfect sense. Without getting nerdy, we’ll thus say that the little pillion holes act as air-pressure-relief micro vents. Aside from manipulating the mix of their composite casing between polycarbonate and glass in a precise ratio, then cushion foam of just the right compliance, density and shape for their driver loading, Final use the small holes as final tuning features.”
oBravo HAMT-1 Review

” I listen again to the HAMT-1 with the NuForce; time to listen to the Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin (Telarc). Dynamics is good, and in this recording it is abundant indeed. The low range is present, it is soft and always in control (hurray for the caps!). It is always a bit prevalent on the mid range that is pushed back a little, and has a warm and pleasant sound that remains a bit too tamed. This I must admit, is a characteristic that can be found in many headphones, no matter how expensive they are. All in all the sound is pleasant and relaxing.”
