Bad Guy Good Audio Rankings and stuff (under construction) (Part 1)

Yes, I thought about it from the start and gave up cuz I realized how much extra work and how much more cluttered the list would be.

one of my roommates- ā€œwhy do you have so much audio equipment are you opening a radio shack? just get better headphones and only have one pairā€ me to him- ā€œwhy do you have two shoe racks full of shoes they all do the same thing go on your feetā€ him- ā€œNO NO NO they are different!ā€ :joy:

It doesnā€™t help either that most people arenā€™t willing to spend $200+ on a listening device. We all know that there is good audio for cheap out there but we also know that there is much, much better audio.

HA! My point exactly. Iā€™ve been into other hobbies as well, like the sneaker game for example, and this one just happens to be the one that is not only the most welcoming, but the most rewarding for me personally. I remember being in middle school, saving up hundreds of dollars just to buy a pair of shoes I really really wanted. It felt great being able to wear them from time to time for sure. But I feel like audio is just a different experience. I get internal gratification hearing my music at top notch quality, instead of getting external gratification from my friends and strangers with their compliments on my shoes.

I agree. In audio, the sky is the limit. You can spend as much as you want, it seems almost endless in terms of the options. We actually had a collaboration event here at the dealership I work at and a local Audio shop brought over some crazy high end amps and standup speakers and it blew me away. They had 3 different displays with the most expensive being around $100,000 for the total package. It was eye watering. OR you can pick up an apple dongle and a pair of Meles for $60 and have an amazing experience. This hobby is weird, man.

Well actually I may prefer that to actual bass head quantity. Quality with quantity without intruding on other aspects.

Iā€™ll be interested in what you think. I found the sub-bass of the H50 detached (kick drum sounds like itā€™s coming from inside a closet) and there must have been a peak somewhere (8kish region Iā€™d imagine) that caused sharp interruptions to what might have been an ok bassy sound. I didnā€™t think it was very coherent, and my memory of the H40 was better.

Edit: Sorry what a downer, I feel like a jerk for sharing the above opinion before youā€™ve even listened to them. I certainly hope you enjoy it! Iā€™ve seen from other shared reviews that our listening preferences diverge pretty frequently so thereā€™s a good chance it wonā€™t sound like that to you at all. All the best.

All good my friend, Iā€™ll be listening for a detached bass and an 8k peak :sunglasses:

I mean Iā€™m a fan of the GK10* so how bad can it be?
