This one has some excitement and clarity that when compared to what I have now, feels a touch better .

I tried it at Canjam NYC on one of their amps and wasn't very impressed. It sounded warm and big. But also. It felt like it was lacking resolution. Vocals not amazing either. I was told by friends at Munich High End that the (or one of the) best pairing they heard with it was the setup at Canjam with the Feliks Envy. I want to try it with a setup like that when I can.

​​@@ZPProductions if you would excuse the technical jargon, I think the main factor as to why perceptions are so different is the HPTF effects of having multiple drivers. HPTF being how consistent a headphone is over different heads. The multiple drivers are most likely leading to compound effects on each individual persons ear canal or HRTF. This creates the possibility of wildly different canal impedance profiles, which will wildly effect how midrange frequencies person to person. Far more than any conventional headphone.

@@samburden5053 I know about the transfer function. The thing is ribbon drivers by nature emit sound throughout the width of ribbon and there’s no cross over. The drivers look identical so it should be producing sound no different from a planar headphones with just small gaps in between each driver. So it”s variance across people should be no better or worst then a planar. That said I’m no expert in this so maybe it’s plausible that multi driver and the mechanical variance between them cause some difference to people hmm…

@@ZPProductions it's not the driver type, it's the fact it's using multi drivers in different positions. They are interacting with the pina and ear canal at different impedances, which creates a compound effect. There is a lot of research on the positioning of driver coupling in relation to impedance transfer principles. A lot of this was conducted after the hd800 and beyer T1 used unconventional driver placements to different effects.

Man i really love watching your reviews the comparisons with other headphones are really important thank you, I recently bought susvara with a really good deal new 4k USD$ after watching your comparison video of the susvara and 1266 and i can say they sound amazing so reference sounding i don't know how to say it 😅, and everything you said in that video was true but i need to power them correctly i don't think my amp (Sennheiser HDV820) can power them well enough tamber is amazing but there is not enough bass am thinking of getting Enleum-23R and demo the 1266 because i have a feeling i will like them too and maybe more i like the v shaped sound and love the hd800s from sennheiser and i think 1266 is hd800s with bass + details but man i can't let the susvara go now they do something special i don't know what it is but it's magical one of them is there is left to right bass imaging i didn't notice it on any other headphone i heard and that is so sick when it happens also can't wait for you to review the new Susvara or give an early impression if you got them.

Warm is in respect to some other headphone. But it’s very slight if u read my write up, not something enough to truly make it a stand out. My guess the veiled and warm mush is the tube amps.

This is a great review, thank you! You mentioned that this is helpful for flash shooting, and while it's better than the R3/A1, wouldn't this mean you're behind by the amount of the latency? Because the EVF feed you're seeing is 230ms behind "real life", so in order to apply the flash to the photo, it has to wait that 230ms to catch up (at least) and apply the flash to the next real life shot that is coming down the pipeline. I don't see how that could work any other way. It's great that the images captured are the same ones you're seeing in the viewfinder with the dual image pipeline, but it's still behind real life.
@ZPProductions
@ZPProductions 12 күн бұрын
There’s a few kind of latency. One is the lag to the screen, the other is lag to the shutter and lastly is lag of the human response time. In a nutshell, if the screen lags for 100ms, anything we take will be 100ms behind time. So the flash firing upon shutter is still pretty correct and u take something 100ms later. U don’t need to wait for 100ms since that time has already passed from the time you press the shutter. If you wait then you will have an image that’s 200ms instead.

You come to completely different conclusions about flames than your German influencer, whose name I won't mention here. I contacted this gentleman several times and expressed my doubts about parts of his findings. I was badly attacked and called a canon fanboy. The reason was that he claimed that he always worked without a lens hood because it was a hindrance with variable ND filters. He does not accept the positive comments and criticizes the authors. Most people follow him without any doubt and don't have their own opinion!
@ZPProductions
@ZPProductions 20 күн бұрын
Hmm well I think everyone is entitled to their comments. But I just want to use the lens normally and view the quality in a way that I will use. The flare I know what you are talking about but i will always use a hood and if anything a ND will also result in flare. But in the end his and mine are just different usage angle and as such different results. I don’t understand about the fanboy thing. After I use every system, I can see why people prefer one over the other, but there’s no reason to be a fanboy since all this are nothing but tools to get good pics.
