@indexclone81302 жыл бұрын
Well I have them and honestly they arent quite what you'd expect. Its the law of diminishing returns. Any good cheap headset might instantly blow you away and each time you take the next step it gets smaller and smaller and smaller till you have to strain for that feeling again. Its also the audio recording that will make that difference. Go for KPH30i when you can get a discount around $20. Then just picture it sounding 10% better in general and you have your emyperean. Few exceptions are there on things the emyperean can do but not that much. The only thing that probably will meet your hype is the look and build quality. Thats my 2 cents on it. Have it for over 2 years now

General audio quality has majorly spiked in the recent ages. The quality stared raising in 2018 to the point almost all good cheap consumer stuff starts to sounds great. The chinese market in AMP/DACs has turned all the old crappy expensive stuff on it's head and starts to sound and perform alot better. People finally start to believe in measurements! Schiit made their products much better after being measured bad. I can't stress this enough, there are so many super transparent Amplifiers and DACs now its amazing. There are tons of super good headphones on the market today, harman has showed the world what good sounds and the world realized. You don't even have to spend alot to get really good sound. If you wanna learn about audio and audio measurements, i recommend you visit a site named "Audio Science Review" or ASR for short. Once you fall down the rabbit hole, these reviewers will just appear as fun personalities whose videos to look but not good audio advice. Idk how he finds those headphones better than the HD600s, as those empyreans sound way too warm the tuning is bad, those would turn probably amazing with some EQ. But for the price it's not worth it. The dude likes wacky stuff anyway.

Then you need an equalizer! Boost 3.8khz up 8 db with a gentle rolloff. The Mezes have great bass characteristics (which adds much "body" to the tone) but an 8 db spike at 3.8KHz is really significant; the human ear is very sensitive to 2-5 KHz so 8dB there is a big deal (for the worst if you ask me; i prefer my response flat)
