New precedent we should set - if a company won’t show internal photos, assume it’s garbage

For listening at lower volumes on HD58x, I had to return - no soundstage wider than 45 degrees, veiled frequencies, and HF sounded like plastic. Even compared to the PO output of the DAP I was trying to amplify. However plugged into my SA8800 it all opens up nicely.

Good for desktop or no? I've heard they are bright and don't measure very well

DT1990 + Dekoni Elite Velour is my endgame.

You saved me $800 for NOT buying 109, thank God!

The fact you didn't fix the frame or the drivers to your work bench at any time had me sitting on needles the entire video. You're a lucky man a finger sized hole was the only damage in the end. But anyhow the value took a nosedive but it'll live :)

SHP9600 vs HD6XX ???

Thanks for the review Josh! For the openback version, could you also assess the gaming performance (and maybe briefly compare it to Maxwell in that regard)?

9500 or 9600 ?

How does it compare to Sundara?

Is your microphone having some noise issues or just im hearing things?

I wonder if owners of Radiance or Celestee will consider switching to these.

Exactly the video I wanted!!!!!!!! Thanks @joshueValour I've been using the 1990pro since your recommendation years ago. I would like something better for gaming, so thanks for the update.

Are the interior dimensions of the ear pads the same of the other Focals?

How are the m1060's in 2024 compared to everything? Especially compared to something like a Sundara, which is at the same price point frequently.

Is it better than celestee? Or should I get this instead

Pair them with a digital amp and a s*** Loki equalizer

I own both, and while I generally agree, there are two issues with the Senns that I want to mention. Number one, I have big ears, and when listening with the HD-6XX after a while the back of my ears start to hurt. The oval design is just not a good fit for me. Something I hear rarely mentioned in reviews of the 6XX is a certain boominess. I didn't see the frequency response measurements, but I guess that there's a little too much energy around 100 - 120 Hz. I don't like that, it sounds wrong to me. With the HE-4XX OTOH there is nothing I would like to change in FR or timbre, they sound just right although I agree the resolution could be finer. But there's a certain 3D quality to the sound that I never experienced with the Sennheisers: each instrument is very clearly separated from the others (provided a good recording) and so while they are "fun" in terms of frequency response I would also call the "analytical" in the sense that they make it easy to follow a certain instrument in a jazz recording or group in an orchestra. I like the 4XX better than the 6XX although the latter also have aspects where they shine.

I can listen to these speakers for hours and they never Tire me out

58X and 6XX are decent HD600 series without costing too much

Can anyone who has paired this with the DCA E3 please comment what their impressions were?

the tattoos are sick asf courtney

Will this drive Sennheiser HD650 off my laptop?

hi as an audiophile be ready for these things: 1. money 2. vocab 3. more money 4. maybe a little more money

where is that list?

Hi bro i have iphone 14 pro max did u manage to make it work?

😮

@10:20 *Honest

Is Courtney someone from your family?

YES. FINALLY.

tungsten when

I want more bass on my Bathys.

So sorry! I make headphones and have ruined so many drivers that way. Or with 2 drivers snapping together cuz magnets.

I try asking every RUclipsr buy this headphone can't you sent me free hifiman sundara headphone..I can't afford to buy one ...no one sent me..😃

What about superlux HD 681F?

I find it strange that I like the HD600 more than the HD650 and the HD8XX more than the HD800. ....I'd probably like the HD800 more if they weren't fatiguing, I should get an HD800S.

Courtney is at least the comedic relief to what can otherwise be a pretty dry hobby.

How would the Azurys compare to something like the Sony Z7M2? I would guess the Focal would outcompete it in all aspects except bass dynamics

Please review the Hadenys

if budget doesnt matter, would you recommend audeze maxwell or sennheiser HD-660S2 for fps gaming ?

Wait a minute, what the hell happened to Courtney?

Josh, as a satisfied OG Focal Clear owner... I approve of this message.😌

I think if you're still using the OG A90 - or any IC/THX/NFCA-based amp really - right thurr might be your culprit as far as "artificial" timbre. I don't have that problem through my Gustard H20 Class A discrete BAL amp....

@Joshua: Thank you for your reviews from user perspective, not the engineering or producer perspective who focused on graphs and “shangri la” perspective. @Courney: Girl, you’ve been a woman now ;)

Bro lost some weight … I don’t you’re getting enough sleep. The baby’s doing baby things.

Heard it and i rate it slightly worse than bathys and airpods max

So, anybody been able to listen to these and the Drop DCA Aeon X Closed?

everybody loves your sister dude get her her own video series where she just goes off the rails with initial impressions 😂😂😂

Math says this should drive the Sundara just fine, has anyone tried it? Specially curious on Sundara when connected to a phone.

Hey Joshua have you reviewed the focal utopia 2022 ??
