IT HAS ARRIVEDDDD
Smelled a little weird out of the box. Threw some old english on the cups, cleaned the headband, and switched the pads. Turns out the cowhide headstrap I bought from ZMF for a replacement only has 1 hole and 1 screw on each side as opposed to the 2 this requires. RIP, so I’ll just use what came with.
Initial impressions. I like the sound. The mids sound a tiny bit recessed to me. Bass is smexy. Treble is nice and clear. Detail is easy to retrieve. Sounds crystalline but a tiny bit muddy at times to my ears (if that makes any sense at all)(I probably just have to adjust to the sound). Dynamics are soooooo much better than my open backs rn. Isolation feels on par with 770s (so not super great). Imaging and separation are stelllllar. Soundstage feels very open for a closed back. Comfort is ridiculously good, but I can’t really headbang anymore and have them feel like they’re gonna stay on my head lol. Gonna let em break in a bunch before I make any final judgements though.
Am a very happy boi
Edit : I can hear audio equipment hiss (barely audible) in a lot of recordings. Took me a while to verify it was the tracks and not a piece of my gear. This is new. Also cymbals are super splashy, but in what I would say is almost the right way. Is very interesting.
