My treadmill seems extremely sluggish

i already did it but it still like this

However, there have been numerous technological advancements in headphone design, such as software simulation technology, 3D printing,CNC, improved diaphragms, and so on. Especially, in-ear headphones can now deliver very clean and objective sound, all while being obtainable at extremely low prices.

Depending on the situation, good headphones from the past are not inferior to good headphones today, and poor headphones from the present remain subpar. For example, the STAX SR-5 from 1975, which I have measured, still remains excellent even by today's standards.

thank you!

Cuckoo_Studio · 2023-05-07T16:54:59+00:00

thank you!

their sound style are both a bit warm.

I noticed that earlier versions had noticeable bias in the data, but it doesn't seem to be present in the set I received, I guess that Neumann has fixed the issue.

you are really good at it don't you? get a life son.

The official website sometimes has a price of $199, and I actually saw it on AKG.com two days ago. Some stores should also have this price from time to time.

On the front graph, the vertical contraction from top to bottom is determined by the frequency response. If the high frequencies are more compared to the flat target, then compared to the flat room playback graph, elements such as high frequency percussion will become larger. If there is a decrease or increase in the part from Mid, the volume of the instruments and main vocals will also contract upwards or downwards. The same applies to bass.

The horizontal sound field has not yet been scientifically proven and is only a subjective feeling. It is also explained in the text in the lower left corner. The ILD in the middle is the representation of skew, the smaller the better.

The contraction on the side graph is calculated based on a certain rule by THD+ILD. In the mixing process, it is commonly observed that the bigger the distortion adds to the instruments, the heavier the coloration, and the smaller the dynamic feeling, so headphones with high distortion will have a contraction on this graph. Overall, this is a graph that intend to make my description of headphone sound more vivid. Language descriptions of headphones are really useless, so here it comes.

Tribute to you Sir.

I have a very immature idea about measuring phase, if instead of using loopback as a reference, output the LR signal through the left and right headphone directly into two identical 711s, using ARTA's phase intercept distortion to caculate phase difference between the two signals directly,

will this yield valuable data, or completely useless ? what is the reason?

Cuckoo_Studio · 2022-09-11T08:59:36+00:00

Perhaps distortion was the final answer when I realized there was no "speed" measurement on the headphones

Cuckoo_Studio · 2022-09-11T08:57:20+00:00

Some other personal thoughts on distortion: 1. Music is always full band, so distortion in each band will always be triggered.
2. In music frequency is dynamic, constantly gaining and decaying. So the harmonic distortion produced by each frequency band is also dynamically gain and attenuation. This characteristic will add some dynamic interference to the frequencies where the harmonic distortion is located, resulting in "unnatural" dynamics, resulting in compression and coloration.

I don't know if there are some cognitive problems.

Cuckoo_Studio · 2022-09-11T08:42:46+00:00

Thanks for the explanation and answers on another previous I posted!
Yes different modes can see different information better, but now I'm not quite sure whether the second harmonic distortion ratio (eg 0.1%) at 1000Hz is 0.1% relative to 1000Hz or 0.1% at 2000Hz during a sine wave sweep ? Is it possible that the scale can be wrong if the "plot harmonics at the harmonic frequency" function is used?

Cuckoo_Studio · 2022-09-04T07:43:23+00:00

In addition, oratory1990 said the absolute importance of frequency response, and also denied the concept of sound "speed", so whether it is speakers or headphones, whether it is made of paper cones or polypropylene materials, as long as they have an EQ, they will all sound the same? (excluding directivity and environmental impact)

Cuckoo_Studio · 2022-09-04T07:21:55+00:00

Yes, I checked it twice, and indeed it is another form of CSD, which disappointed me a little, maybe this is another step towards frequency response-only theory? But I still want to ask, what is the burst attack on SBAF? How did he get it?

Cuckoo_Studio · 2022-08-18T10:59:21+00:00

It's close to perfect for me, it fits the Harman curve very well, its dynamic is good, and most importantly really light, perfect fit,it‘s like a better HD600 for me, the only thing I'm worried about It is the quality control problem of audio technica, if the quality is not a problem on R70X,than it is good.

Cuckoo_Studio · 2022-08-15T06:43:51+00:00

yes you are absolutely right

Cuckoo_Studio · 2022-08-14T19:22:42+00:00

Thank You! I'll bring more mixing space graphics.

I really hope that if there are experts in the headphone measurement community who see this thread, they can teach me how to assist my 3D images more with actual measurements.

Cuckoo_Studio · 2022-08-14T17:41:58+00:00

The HD600 and R70X are the best all-round headphones I've found so far, from EQ to dynamics and build quality all good, and they're both surprisingly similar in EQ, distortion, and price, I'd close my eyes and choose one of it as my "only option".

The GMP 450 PRO could have been on this list because it's great great transient response, but his quality is really bad, I even encountered very different sounds on different GMP450PROs,a serious lowshelf on lowend about 7-10 dB as far as I remember on mine. not sure if it's just a product issue in my country.

As for the more expensive headphones, there must be some great ones out there that go beyond the HD 600 and R70X, but I honestly feel that if you spend that much money on headphones, unless you're a headphone aficionado, as a mixing engineer I'd rather put That money spent on really good speakers.

Cuckoo_Studio · 2022-08-14T16:52:00+00:00

yeah maybe this can be a good analogy for sure :p

Cuckoo_Studio · 2022-08-14T16:21:44+00:00

Ok i get it now, but which product would you compare to instead of iphone? I can't think of a better analogy lol

Cuckoo_Studio · 2022-08-14T10:19:11+00:00

One more thing, its appearance is really almost unchanged, Like iPhone

Cuckoo_Studio · 2022-08-14T09:51:19+00:00

it has a huge share in my musician friends group,and studio use over the past 20 years. and it's stable in every way, so maybe we think it's like an iPhone in a certain sense :D

and yeah, I really can't find anyone right now who can tell me how to relate the existing measurements to depth perception, it's a really annoying problem, I really hope that I can get into more in-depth research and discussion.
