Lots of people are able to ABX test consistently

Why the headband wrapped in bubble wrap?

I was gonna get it but the inverse polarity has me second guessing. Sure, you can flip the cable but then you look dumb. *sigh* I may get the Tangzu x HBB Hey Dry Edition instead.

Lots of expensive headphones are badly tuned and sound worse than cheap, well tuned headphones like the 560s.

I would be keen on checking out the EQ preset. Thank you.

Sundara now irrelevant.

I'm glad to hear that's he's having character development :)

He reviews headphones without seeing them in real life and simply EQuing his Moondrop Variation to whatever headphone he's reviewing. He says that the Frequency Response the only thing that matters in a headphone's sound as headphones as they are pressure chambers.

He says that a $20 Moondrop Chu can be EQued to sound exactly like a $500 Moondrop Variation. He calls anyone who questions this and his review methodology a "noob".

He doesn't hate EQ for the reason you stated. He says he hates EQ because a headphone that needs EQ is a bad headphone. He says that they sound the same after EQ but EQ is just cope for buying bad headphones and that he only buys good headphones.

Sharur in shambles.

Never

Beyerdynamic uses mini XLR.

There's more to sound than frequency response

You can have both looks and sound quality. Look at the Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro X and V-Moda M-200.

What about the dt 900 Pro X?

I buy headphones that I like the sound of.

I miss Sony Ericsson. They made the best phones. I only bought SE phones.
