Reply to comment by Wise_Concentrate_182 in Honest question, did we hit peak headphone a while back? by Yammy_Lyfe

Can you go into detail on "unnatural" ? To most people who've ever heard them they sound astonishingly good from all the reviews and listening tests on the internet (except for people who dislike harman I guess)

“Most people” includes a large swathe of the world buying Apple, beats, and 30 dollar Panasonic earphones. To me these are muddy, horribly distorted bass, and many build qualities. The treble is often sibilant. Mids muffled. Get an Onkyo E700M from eBay or alibaba for 50 bucks (irs discontinued, so these are old owners or remnant stock). Then get Timeless rubbish for 200 bucks. Listen to the same music on both. You’ll see what I mean.

notice how I said "most people who have heard them". I'm pretty sure Beats by Dr. Dre users don't know or care about audiophile brands or try their headphones

Same difference. Different type of cluelessness. A vast majority of those who are pleased with chi fi garbage haven’t heard proper audio equipment. They have a Bluetooth speaker at home and are upgrading from the beats or 30 dollar Panasonics.

Can you show me this kind of metric population data for these claims you're so confident to make?

Yeah sure. Everything relies on metric population data 🤣 Move along. Enjoy your KZ 10 :)

Uhm, yes the kind of claim you made actually does.

I use SA-6 ULTRA's and NTH-100's but ok
