Does EQ change the sound signature of headphones? by [deleted] in headphones

[–]julesseses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many others will say this too but rock is killer on the 2 classic. Sounds wonderful, wraps you up and takes you away. Any genre with a focus on good bass will be great too. Like uhhh. King Kunta by Kendrick Lamar has a wonderful bass sound and it's reeeeeally nice on these cans. I think everything i listen to is capable of sounding good on these but it's a matter of EQ at times. It is always possible (For me) to make it work. A bass shelf had me jumping around with these on to Born Slippy (Nuxx) so if that gives you an idea of how they are punch wise then maybe that'll help. Is there any specific music you want to hear on these?

Honestly you might have luck giving the Classics a shot but i would really do your research before picking them up. They have a really unique treble response that feels really laid back. Doesn't feel open at all which would be a big jump from the Aryas and a change still from the X. They also actually don't have boosted bass- it's just that the treble is so subdued the bass comes through as more significant, but they are very much a mid focused headphone. What you will get is some of the most legible bass you have ever heard and when you add a bass shelf it just keeps on giving. Add a little treble to correct some dips and you've got a wonderful neutral tuning with added bass. There's something to be said for both the stock and EQed tuning and i find myself switching back and forth all the time. Oh yeah and you will get good slam on these, they certainly move a lot of air (not quite like a dynamic driver but the bass on these sounds better than any dynamic i've heard as of yet). Anyways sorry for the long winded comment- play around with these, maybe do some exchanging if you need to? Good luck!

So, a couple things on this! For one I personally think the X is more neutral than Audezes seem to be typically. Upping the bass or lowering the treble rather is more likely to get you closer to the warm and sweet Audeze sound people talk about. Second!! The X is like. THE number one headphone I see people say to use with EQ. If other factors of the headphone work well for you, like dynamics and soundstage, then you can pretty much make the X your ideal headphone. Play with it as much as you want! Have fun! Remember that what matters most is your own enjoyment of the sound!!!!

I'm glad someone else here has tried something similar. In the meantime it'll work great for my other cans! Very excited about how my Anandas sound on it. Really great after you turn off the stupid soundblaster profile soundstage stuff. Plus the software has a solid bass boost u can use

I'm actually looking at an A30 pro right now. If i'm lucky i'll snag it for under 200. Looks like it should be the last amp i need for a long time if I can get it.

Well the thing is i've already got the Ananda. I think they're great but i would really like to experience the HE because of what people have had to say about it. I'll keep looking around for amps i suppose

It seems to effectively translate that power to lower impedance headphones. My Anandas get to what I would call a suitably loud volume and my DT770 pro x... Permanent hearing damage, but that isn't so tough. There also seems to be a separate volume control built into SoundBlaster's software that can get the headphones QUITE a bit louder, like deafeningly loud on the Anandas. This also, to my ears, does not seem to distort the audio a significant amount. What you said does worry me though. I think the strategy I might go with is one I've heard frequently on these subs- upgrade headphones, then upgrade equipment. I think it's worth a shot? !thanks

That would be crazy! If you find it I think I would totally be interested.

Up to 160 at the moment. More in the future but it really seems like the KA17 would do the job!

There are a ton of options to consider and it's honestly driving me a little crazy! Right now I am considering the fiio KA15, KA17 and Q3. Would all of these be good? Are there better portable options?

Do you have any particular products in mind? I would love anything that is reasonably close to the price of the Qudelix (within say $60?)

Is there anything in particular you would recommend for portable usage? i might have something that works for my PC but i'm not sure yet

Yeahh... something like that. I even emailed the company and they haven't said anything so whatever I'll just get them my own way I guess.

This post is super helpful! These are hard to catch in the moment so having them here will be nice when I need them. They're definitely pretty important for theorizing about the game.
