A not unreasonable question
I take it you like it thenA not unreasonable question
One in system 1, one in system 2, one in headphone system and a 4th one I bought recently as it was the same model in system 2 but modded with a dale resistor based stepped attenuator and USB board upgraded to a later version. I haven't had a chance to compare in system 2 but I suspect one will go into the reserves collection in case of accidents as they are very hard to find.
Xq-50pro are bluetooth receiver, good also for under £100 new. Havent heard the audioengine in comparison so cannot comment as to sound quality.
Nice Benchmark DAC1 there ...Xq-50pro are bluetooth receiver, good also for under £100 new. Havent heard the audioengine in comparison so cannot comment as to sound quality.
I think the T1s are quite different, they dont have too much treble, it's just right when paired well. Still getting used to them with an OTL amp now. They might be a bit like my speakers. Ie they don't stand out much but anything you try afterwards sounds wrong.I must admit that my experience with T90 put me off higher end Beyerdynamic. Screech City.
What Hifi review....
Yes apparently the Tesla strength magnet makes them more sensitive and easier to drive. The 600ohm DT880s can't be used with a phone.600 ohms driven from a phone.
Wow.
They certainly look smart!!!New arrivals today.
KLH Ultimate One headphones.
Ever heard of these before? I hadn't.
I think they retail around £340, although available discounted.
I got these used at a good price. Crazily good reviews on these so I couldn't resist.
Very strange fit to my head to start with. I suspect the previous owner must be a Martian. Anyways, the metal bands that are the length adjustment are thin and flexible and clearly intended to be gently bent to form the correct angle for each head. They're like Sennheiser HD 600 in that respect. It's fine now - an impressive design to suit multiple sentient species.
Very comfortable.
The sumptuous soft leather earpads are, as is so common, not quite large enough. Larger than, for example, B&W P7, but just a tad more room would have been ideal. But they're fine.
Soundwise they are making an initial positive impression. Clear and nicely detailed, treble a little on the lean rather than the lush side of the fence. I usually apply a little eq to most headphones (a lot of eq in the case of AQ Nighthawk). I suspect that will work well with these, I don't think I'll want substantial changes.
Good so far. A headphone amp on the warmer side works best for me.
I like to have a choice of headphone readily to hand at each of my 3 listening locations, I can see these taking up residence at one of them.
Yeah I had a pair of those reduced from a dealer a couple of years ago. I liked them quite a lot and they sounded great with my phone but I decided I had too many and moved them on.New arrivals today.
