You donât actually have to take it apart like you see in the video, which was too complicated, too violent, and in the wrong order.
Just ordered the double magnetic version on amazon gonna take until a while before i get them though hopefully i get them sooner canât wait

Thatâs a big beauty you got there.
the dt1990 is quite good. the ananda is far better for my taste and less bright

The compression (audio effect) of the dynamic range of a sound has nothing to do with the frequency.
The only case when a compressor is related to the frequency is a multiband compressor tool generally used during mastering that is a âmixâ of many compressors and filters.

I guess the point is that the nasal sound isnt because its ânot playing the full soundâ but more that due to the characteristics of the mylar or tuning or magnets the depth of the vocal range is squished together mimicking the sound of compression im not sure if he thinks they are actually compressed as in the digital space or that it just sounds that way.
NUFF SAID @ 11:57 mark of the video.
I have one on the way, looking forward to this pairing.

From what I understood he has put in relation the compression and dynamic range with the frequency
Since he is a reviewer and an influencer and many people maybe donât know the argument but trust his opinion I thought was worth point out that on this argument (the audio compression effect, what it does, how it sounds) he is confusing.
PS I didnât answer with the intension to be critical but just for avoid disinformation on the argument
Iâm hovering over the buy button on linsoul (best uk price at the moment) does anyone know of any current discount codes? I found LINSOUL30 on one of the forum thread but itâs now expired. This will be my first linsoul order.
No, you misnderstood.
It was analalogy which is why the word âpercievedâ was used several times.
DMS used a software compression effect and confused a lot of folks into thinking the drivers of a headphone do that. They do not. You know that. That was his way of explaining apparently.
My way was apparently confusing for you.
Low quality compressed music file = missing info
Reduction in treble on amplitude scale. = sounds like missing info
They are unrelated besides the fact your ear will note the diminished returns. As this is audio gear playing music, I lean on that to explain and not get into compressors/limiters etc. That is Production/Sound Science.
Critical is fine.
Vague non specific explanations with no mention of music to demonstrate the good and bad of audio gear is really frustrating though. Thatâs the universal language we should all be able to talk around here.

The best way to enhance your knowlege is to go out and listen to a bunch of headphones in a show type of environment. Or better yet, a local meetup of enthusiasts. Two things that ainât happening right now.
The best judge is you, but sometimes we just donât know what to judge things against. Iâll also tell you that you come across things that simply wonât work for you or whole brands that generally wonât work for you. The Beyer 177X is a very loved can that I had to let go. It was too much on the high end. A lot of people love it, and youâd be hard pressed to find a bad review of it. Câest la vie.
Forgot your original question about compression, which is why I stopped to answer.
When you find a good recording, Classical has a lot of it. But any song with quiet passages and loud passages. Whatâs the ability to have the speaker or the headphone, play the quiet parts as well at the loud partsâŠ

I donât think I misunderstood you and your answer confirmed that to me. That youâre mixing different concepts all together but your concept of dynamic range is not really clear
The compression of an audio file (lossy audio format) is the reduction of the file size by remove parts of the information and rebuild that information during the decoding process with an algorithm.
The compression (audio effect) is an effect used in the audio production that cause a reduction of the maximum volume of a signal, is not related to the frequency, but to a threshold (level that triggers the effect) attack (delay before the effect starts) release (time the effect is active) ratio (intensity of the reduction).
The perceived loudness of the human ears is the subjective perception of the loudness of a sound related to the absolute loudness and the frequency of the sound.
The dynamic range is the difference in amplitude of the smallest and largest signal in a track (not related to the frequency of the two signals)
The frequency response, I hope everyone knows what that is.
Every time an headphone play it introduce a reduction of the dynamic range in the sound because the drive gets a signal and convert it in a sound that has a pressure level, but it doesnât reproduce the same dynamic range of the original source. DMS like you said used the compression audio effect, of course it is not the same of a compressor but it has a pretty similar effect.
Example: you record 2 sounds one is 20db another is 100db, the dynamic range of the track should be 80db when reproduced. After you play it with a speaker or headphone and set the volume of the loudest sound to 100db, then theoretical if hasnât been a reduction in the dynamic range the quietest sound should be 20db but you will discover thatâs not case because the microphone reduced the dynamic range and the speaker too, less so the DAC and the amp, so instead of a dynamic range of 80db you get a lower value.

Good tracks for check the dynamic range are usually all the tracks with a really inconstant volume or different sounds with a big difference in amplitude, like classical music and some live.
You actually misunderstood me and the analogy and are taking it literally even though I was talking about percieved soundâŠpercieved being the key word.
Iâm familiar with music compression algorithms and hardware/software Compressors/Limiters
I do like you showed music though

I think that I explained clearly enough that perception and dynamic range are different thinks and are not correlated, I will stop here, my purpose wasnât start a discussion about that but just avoid disinformation on the argument

However you try to describe what you are listening to (a compressed signature? etc) it will always be just thatâŠyour own own personal assessment of how your source sounds on that set using your Library

Yes, thatâs right, and thatâs why itâs important to state that the dynamic range is an objective measurement.
For instance, Amber Rubarthâs track âTundraâ has dynamic range of 19, which is excellent. So Iâm able to describe what do I hear on GL2000 while listening to it as a clear, undistorted sound, when I can hear the quietest notes as quiet, and not as exaggerated, and the loudest as loud, all of them decaying into the black background as natural as possible, without clipping or distortion.
Thatâs due to the excellent microdynamics, microdetail, and resolve of GL2000. Listen to the violinist breathing some distance right to the percussionist - do you hear it as exaggerated and in your face? No, itâs quiet and barely perceptible, there is lack of unnatural amplification to those quite details. Can you hear the reverberations off the walls? How do they decay? Are they loud or are they subtle and natural, like youâre sitting into the venue? How far are the walls and how big is the venue?
I think that we can all agree that there is a distinct lack of an official definition of âheadphones compressionâ, and the term was used by DMS in order to fortify his negative view of GL2000.
This is in contrast to the widely accepted definition of âDynamic range compressionâ, quoted and explained by hawaiibadboy

The GL2000 uses N52 magnet, which is even double-sided. The N52 is the most powerful magnet you can find on the market nowaday (we have n55 but is not suit for headphone building), so these headphones can reveal amazing detail and soundstage. The details do not come from compression as the DMS said, and the dynamics are not lost. All these can be verified by your ears. 
The N52 magnet is incredibly powerful, brings incredible micro-dynamics and details. Thatâs what â性ććșć„èżčâ on the paper packing case is all about, which means âGreat forces make miraclesâ in English.
