Joined Jan 20, Messages Likes I can’t imagine ever wanting to listen to headphones above 90dB, let alone dB, but still, what a mess.

Great to see another well priced electrostat review, it is not too bad and somewhat correctable via EQ. Would have been great to be able to compare to the affordable end of Stax products! Ata said:.

The unit Hard to rate this anything other than “poor” – so many better options out there in this price range. I retract this post due to the manufacturer raising some interesting questions about the testing. I really appreciate the manufacturers engaging here in constructive manners. Last edited: Jun 22, Are we sure that the massive amount of “audible” distortion is caused by the headphone and not by the driving amp? Maybe a more powerful well one with more output voltage amplifier is needed for this headphone.

LTig said:. BTW, the major issue is the frequency response here which is anything but smooth. No we are not sure. I get a similar problem with my Stax headphones. They just don’t want to get loud, especially in bass. Garrincha Senior Member. Joined Jan 11, Messages Likes I had high hopes for these to be decent for price to performance ratio.

Oh well, on to the next good thing. Aperiodic Active Member. Joined May 2, Messages Likes Curvature Member. Joined May 20, Messages 46 Likes Taking manufacturer’s FR from the website. Difference could be variation in design or different coupler.

Matches up fairly well to 1kHz, after which the ear sim comes into play. Last edited: Jun 21, Joined Oct 4, Messages Likes Aperiodic said:. Isn’t limited dynamics more or less ‘part of the deal’ with most planar drivers, whether speaker or headphone? Especially ‘single ended’ planar magnetics where the magnetic field drops according to the inverse square law as the distance of the magnet to the driven surface increases as happens when you turn it up?

Thus the force being applied varies in a non-linear fashion relative to input volume. Not so with electrostatics, where the panel is acted on by stators on each side- as the force drops off on one side, it increases on the other. But ‘stats have similar mechanical constraints in excursion. Never owned a planar anything, but I’ve heard quite a few and I don’t remember dynamics being anything special in most of them.

Totally different price range though, and not sure of the amplification needed. Joined Nov 3, Messages Likes Look at that low distortion! Too bad it’s a brick wall though, or should I say precipice at least with your setup. SuicideSquid said:. Maiky76 Senior Member. View attachment The headphone as tested came with the upgraded sheepskin pads. I am told the company has moved away from the stock pad that is supplied with these anyway. Four small Velcros hold the pad which I found insufficient as it was easy to pull the pad off.

The build feels somewhat plasticky and creeks a bit. Fit is very different than my Stax headphones and is tight around my ears. Electrostatic headphones require special amplifier with high voltage bias feed. I went into my bin of Stax headphone amps I have and selected the SRM which is transistor based to avoid issues with aging tubes in my other ones.

The testing you see is the combination of these two working together. Note : The measurements you are about to see are made using a standardized Gras 45C. Headphone measurements by definition are approximate and variable so don’t be surprised if other measurements even if performed with the same fixtures as mine, differ in end results. Protocols vary such as headband pressure and averaging which I don’t do. As you will see, I confirm the approximate accuracy of the measurements using Equalization and listening tests.

Ultimately headphone measurements are less exact than speakers mostly in bass and above a few kilohertz so keep that in mind as you read these tests. If you think you have an exact idea of a headphone performance, you are likely wrong! Fitment on the fixture was challenging with respect to bass.

Audirvana is pretty much a one man band I think, so you just have to take that into account. And as soverton has said they have something imminent for the weekend. AndyUMay 7, Thank you both for that info, strangely enough someone has replied to my email telling me exactly the same thing.

I shall give it a few more days, and if no reply email again, I did not realise it was almost a ‘one man band’ so this also has to be taken under consideration.

The subscription model means Audirvana 3. SubitoMay 10, Heckyman likes this. Haven’t seen the announcement but this sounds like really bad news. Presumably Audirvana subscription with Qobuz costs more than Audirvana 3. Audirvana 3. HeckymanMay 10, Yep, Audirvana 3. But with subscriptions, it seems that however основываясь на этих данных services and apps you subscribe to, there is always something that isn’t covered due to competitors wanting to keep users inside their own apps.

Unlike most users, I don’t particularly want to integrate Вами wallpaper windows 10 for android считаю and streamed files, I prefer to keep them separate. Just glad that 3. You must log in or sign up to reply here. Show Ignored Content. Share This Page Tweet.
