I had two pairs of those Grado non-hemps. I thought they were dull with no treble. I thought EVERY headphone was dull with no trouble. Eventually I had a hearing test and the doc said I was dang close to deaf. I guess that explains why all the audio work I've done professionally gets sent back at least once with the note "This is WAY too hot and hissy". Seriously. I was making stuff sound good to ME. But I can't hear treble so I cranked the ultrasonics. I produced audio professionally? Oops. I STILL do. Don't tell.

[@FriedEgg101]

To be fair, you're not meant to get an accurate representation of what each headphone actually sounds like, but rather hear some difference between them using the headphones/speakers you have. I'm listening on speakers and can hear that the brown Koss are the most bass-light, followed by the HD600, then the Meze, then the LCD2. Using this I can tell that I'd probably prefer the LCD2 over the HD600, even though I've heard neither irl.

I think for headphones that are that old, they sound alright. They've got the mids, that's where the heart of music lives anyway. Smooth mids. You'd be amazed how many headphones today can't get mids right. Listened to V-Moda LP2 recently, and i was ANGRY at their lack of musicality. I'd rather listen to shitbrown KOSS from 60 years ago, or to 30 year old Walkman headphones. Also magnets don't stay magnets forever, they lose that magnetism gradually.

@@just_HAZEN no it literally Is the headphones, my own headphones aren't the best (anker soundcore vortex) but I could tell a HUGE difference between the hd600s and the koss ones, the hd600s sounded way better (and the audeze sounded even better imo) but the koss sounded so muffled and shitty, there was like no high end at all, I couldn't tell much about the imaging but I think the hd600s sound a bit better in that regard as well though I couldn't tell nearly as much of a difference there, maybe with more expensive better headphones I could though

@@PendragonNC I’ve got a pair of the SR60e’s and they sound great. As for comfort, I wear glasses all the time, and after a while with the grados I find they can get a bit uncomfortable where they press my ear into the glasses. Now you can stretch them to be looser, but I find they just fall off my head if I do that. So if you don’t wear glasses I see no reason not to go for them!

Also, for persons where this plant is still a controlled substance: Hemp is the non-flowering stage of the plant whete it is considered "infertile" & "male"; it is only once the plant "becomes female" where it produces the flowers we all know and the seeds we all like to pick out. Hemp being a rather strong, easy to grow, and fibrous crop (Its called weed for a reason) ; was set to offset the paper & lumber industry in the 50&60s here in America, and is the primary reason (many believe) why BOTH forms of the plant became controled by the DEA until recently. That being said, regardless of it drug usage, hemp has always been a great crop, with many old ships sails and rigging being made from the fiber, and many of the founding colonists/fathers grew it alongside their tabacco farms because it would fetch comparable prices in England. One urban legend in the United States of how the crop was found to have psychoactive properties is that Native Americans would have found the plants amoung other brush, using it as tinder and fuel for their fires, with its smell and its arguable "contact-high-effect", it was only a matter of time before they tried it in their tabacco pipes.

Watching this video again and watching the Mezes makes me think about how so many companies will usually sell the best, personally inspected stuff out to reviewers, sometimes even sending products that are better than what the consumer would recieve, all to put their absolute best foot forward. It's obvious here that these are just the same headphones that anyone else would get from the company, which really shows just how confident they are in their products.
