Mine is slight, but it makes me tilt my head to the left…lol. And I have muscular problems in my neck. I have another set of headphones that is perfectly balanced and because of that, it helps relieve the muscle problems

I’m leaning toward the marble design. I believe I’d buy that over the plain black version.

They supposedly have the best ANC

Wavelet has a limiter. It might have what you need. If it doesn’t show anything in default mode, use legacy mode.

Thank you

That’s a really good EQ setting. Really impressed with it.

Yeah, now that I know the bass is fine on these open back Sennheiser headphones, I’m excited to consider higher versions. The HD600 gets a lot of praise

These HD560S are merely my first foray into open back Sennheiser headphones.

Nice! I looked at that model with interest the other day while checking ratings on Headfonics. They scored a nice 8.8.

Oratory1990’s EQ preset

What EQ are those Oratory settings for? I’m using Equalizer APO and don’t see the “Filter type”, “Q-Factor” or “BW”

I have the “Frequency” and “Gain” set, but that’s all

Amazon Music. It provides not only CD quality (HD quality), but also Ultra HD quality.

Something by Chris Cornell

Okay, got impatient and pulled the Q45 off the wine bottle and checked them out. 😊

They still don’t sound good to me. I think their muddy bass or sub bass is interfering with the upper mids and highs.

I put them back in their case and shelved them. No amount of burn in is going to fix muddy bass.

Welp…My Q45 have been enduring the blazing loud sound of Death-adder Metal for over 24 hours. I might just go ahead and subject them to another 24 hours, really work that poor sound quality out of them 😊

As far as burning in headphones go, I don’t think it’s bunk at all. The data signal through a wire being better or worse can be bunk, but it depends on how much resistance is occurring in the cable…not likely enough to affect sound quality.

But with actual animated components like speakers, there could be benefits to wearing them in (burn in). Anything that moves will eventually wear out. A car engine requires a break in period because components are new and can loosen over time. Same goes for the diaphragms of speakers and the voice coil that moves back and forth on a magnet. Over time the material that makes up the diaphragm can loosen up and alter the sound produced.

When the voice coil moves back and forth on the magnet, it can smooth out microscopic pits and grooves making the voice coil freer to push air more efficiently.

How is this not in the Headphone Advice forum? Every time I try to post in the Headphones forum, the modbot deletes it.

The lacking in bass holds me back.

I have the Moondrop Sparks TW earbuds. They sound excellent. But I considered a wired Moondrop IEM. Not sure now.
