I expect NTH100 is very different compared to 7506. 7506 has one job and one job only: find fault in your audio recording. They are not so good at everything else. I suspect NTH100 can do more than that.

Day 2 Impressions.
Comfort. Bit of discomfort on the back of my glasses alright. Tends to necessitate a bit of a rest after an hour or two (May get used to it).
Sound. I would quite like to temper my initial impressions. Very much benefits from EQ. While it is passable (?) as is, there are issues which prevent it from being great (good?) (or at least what I would consider great (good?)) from a consumption of music perspective.
Have a bit of a WIP EQ going, which already makes a big difference. There is a good amount of positive gain required in the treble, for me the bass generally would be somewhat reduced overall, and flattened.
Aye I can see this but the setâs supposed to be for studio/mixing use etc and not pitched towards âAudiophilesâ so 
Yeah I know, thatâs why I said it. So I canât really comment on itâs suitability for that. All I know is that its an audio transducer I can use for music, and can make more suitable for that with EQ.

So i sat down and did a head-to-head between the AKG 361 and RĂDE NTH-100
listening to 10 totally random songs on the IFI zen dac + IFI zen can, first listening on the AKG 361 then working my way back on the playlist with the NHT-100.
At the end of the day, 85% of the time i still prefer the AKG 361, the NHT-100 is good but not as good in terms of sound as the 361. The 361 is more energetic, more resolving and clearer, but that is also somewhat expected of a monitoring headphone
I have a sneaking suspicion that part of whatâs holding back the NHT-100 are the pads, while AKGâs pads arent anything to write home about the NHT-100âs pads are much thinker and denser, also the gel itself might be part of the equation

2 Little design things that i just noticed on the NTH-100
- on the right ear cup - where the wire goes into the cup there is a small red ring - making it easier to spot right/left even looking from the front at a distance.
- The letters L and R are written in braille on each cup at the top (3 vertical dots on the left, and a âtetrisâ shape on the right)

Had any time comparing it to the SV021 yet? Iâm not really sure why Zeos compared them so directly, so Iâm curious to hear more details.
I received my pair of these yesterday. I have various cheaper, lower-end headphones to compare with - original Grado SR80, Sennhiser 280 Pro, HyperX Cloud II and Anker Soundcore Q20.
My immediate impression was all love, then within 30 seconds or so felt that the left/right was a bit off-balance or out of phase. I spent a solid hour swapping between all of my headphones, making sure the cable was snug and tightly in the Rodeâs, but I canât help but sense that the left ear cup is either out of phase or âoffâ by a slim margin. âCenteredâ audio sounds slightly to the right.
Iâve made sure my Mac is center balanced and I tried two other smartphones to reconfirm.
Has anyone else experienced this or seen anything similar in reviews? Is there maybe just a break-in period?
Purchased from Best Buy so returning is easy enough.

Welcome to Hifiguides
The 2nd jack is closed with the rubber? It is part of the tuning, without it they sound different.

Yup - that was it. My bad for not digging through the manual. Thanks!
At the least, impressed that my ear holes still work.

Same here. They seem to have totally different uses beyond the same $150 price tag. Studio reference headphones with a neutral sound signature arenât what the Sivga is trying to achieve, or a good point of comparison.
