Me listening to the HD600s through KZbin's compression on my ten dollar earbuds: "Yes, I see."

[@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.

[@LateClick]

No, you smell, not see

[@Virginny]

@@FriedEgg101 yeah that's why I like when he pulls out the ears because it's not about hearing exactly what each pair of headphones sounds like, it's about hearing the difference between them.

Funnily enough tho, the more expensive headphones you use the bigger the difference you can actually hear fortunately. So like it's there it works its just your 10 dollar earbuds lack the ability to show it to you which i mean lets be real im sure you know that already lmfao

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.

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. Whatever organic material the membrane is, it might have not fared the best either. There's a chance that they sounded slightly better when they were made.

@@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

So I stopped using those pretty quick lol

@@jlewwis1995 ah I see well wireless is differnet from wired though you usually are able to have more space for the diaphram in wired headphones compared to wireless because they have to power themselves.

Meze actually had the 88s before the 99s. I love my 99s. Main driver for me. I do EQ them slightly to take a bit of boominess out. They have the most natural sound I heard. Like guitars sound like when I am playing the guitar... And the Accordeon which a lot of headphones fail to reproduce accurately sounds amazing in these. Love them.

I absolutely adore the look of the Meze 99s, whether they're the Classic or the Neo. They've got a pretty simple look, but it works so well. The shape is iconic, the colors work well, and it just screams quality.
