enjoyment, whatever your hardware.

I usually listen /at the same time/ on headphones ... AND on my
speakers ....

I'm on a Mac. What's the bother? Mind you, I find Sound ID Reference a bit confusing, but if it was all I had, I wouldn't complain.

Perfect timing for me since I'm looking to get new headphones. I had
been using Sony headphones (the small on-ears models with foam pads) or
AKG earbuds with my iPod. I also had a Grado SR60 pair at home.
Now that I'm retired and homebound due to a chronic illness I upgraded
to a Grado SR225x.
I've found that this Grado model, while it is three times as expensive
as the SR60 is just slightly better, and has the same faults -
prominent, unnatural treble and unable to handle congested orchestral or choral passages.
In searching the rmcr archives this subject has come up numerous times,
but since I know these preferences are so subjective I thought if
someone with similar tastes had a model they liked they could advise me.
I've now been using a 20 dollar Koss headphone - KTXPRO1 - and find that
the sound balance is great but it also can't handle congested music -
how am I going to climb the Alpine Symphony?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!I have several Grados (60, 80, 225) and have to agree with your
assessment though I liked them when I got them. The headphone I used to
wean myself from the screaming treble was the Creative Aurvana Live!
which is based on a Fostex OEM also used by Denon and other brands.
It's usually available at Amazon and at Creative for about $50.
The Sony MDR-ZX110 is a bargain especially if you can eq to correct a
dull low treble. It won't ascend those Alps as it distorts when it gets
loud but it might do better than the Koss and it's really inexpensive.
After spending time with the Airpod pro 2s I can say that they excel with chamber music, voice and piano, small vocal ensemble’s etc. I would rate them
as superior in these mediums to headphones that cost four times as much. The reason is that they excel in conveying intimacy with great warmth and presence - better than any headphone I have tried. They are not as good for orchestral recordings due to their limited soundstage (although it’s quite good, but on a smaller scale) With a few exceptions I choose headphones for Solo instrumental recordings as well.
JohnGavin vient de nous annoncer :
Anyone else out there find the same phenomenon?I usually listen /at the same time/ on headphones (Sennheiser HD660 and Stax) AND on my speakers (Klipschorn Heritage and Maganepan)...
This allows me to benefit from the finesse and the precision of the headphones AND the amplitude of the speakers...The sound of the
headphones appears in front of the head, instead of being confined
between the ears!...Once the balance is reached, the listening is
really exceptional...
