catscratch Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 Seriously dude? You're giving Schumacher advice for how to drive around Monza, and you're wondering why we're laughing it off? Tyll is probably the most knowledgeable person in the hobby. Who are you? I also don't buy the whole "it's all a matter of opinion" line. No it's not, and yes, there are standards. Audio relativism - or whatever you want to call it - is outright dangerous since it creates an environment where misinformation spreads and substandard gear thrives. Reminds you of another forum, maybe? Now, I'm not picking on you specifically, no matter what the above post sounds like. But, you walked into the lion's den here. Don't act surprised that you got mauled.
Szadzik Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 no such thing. If you want to think so. Why not.
The Monkey Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 When all is said and done, Beyer headphones pretty much suck.

Don't act surprised that you got mauled. If only people were laughing here it would be perfectly fine, being rude and offensive is a totally different thing. When all is said and done, Beyer headphones pretty much suck. And which ones of the top tier ones have you had?
The Monkey Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 I've tried all of them, including but not limited to the G18, the 1400, and the 200LXp
Tyll Hertsens Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Geez Dinny, I gotta get me some of them. Thought I'd post some pictures of my rig, n00b. Let's see yours! Oh, BTW ... Here's the T5p measurements: Note the uneven frequency response through the mid-range; wiggly piggly (sorry, technical term here) impedance and phase response; distortion through the mid-range; ringing 300Hz square wave response; and large second peak in the impulse response. Here's the Skullcandy Aviators: Note lack of above. Um ... the T5p's were broken in, too. They sound pretty much like they measure. Edited March 15, 2011 by Tyll Hertsens
jvlgato Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Are you sure they were burned in properly?
Tyll Hertsens Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Are you sure they were burned in properly? Um ... No, now that you mention it. Maybe I shouln't come to such an uninformed snap decision. What a quandry ... I wonder what the n00b would do? Edited March 15, 2011 by Tyll Hertsens
jvlgato Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 fuck off. This is just being direct and to the point.

I wonder what the n00b would do? Just drive them with the new portable iBoomSlamWhackaDoody with over 100 opamps that can be changed for your pleasure, and all will be fine.
Szadzik Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 What a pathetic way of living, I really pity you.
Voltron Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Thank you for your concern, now let us continue our pathetic and pitiable existence without the keen glare of your scrutiny and incisive criticism. And fuck yourself with your added free time. Note to the other pathetic members: Dinny is on fire today! I am choking back laughter while watching a patriotic video about jury service.
Knuckledragger Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Leave it to Tyll to turn this into a porn thread.
mypasswordis Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Damn, only almost 10% distortion on the T5p? That's nowhere near Duggeh's phonodome creation. Beyer needs to step up its game.
Tyll Hertsens Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Leave it to Tyll to turn this into a phoRne thread. Fxt. Edited March 15, 2011 by Tyll Hertsens
Tyll Hertsens Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 good thing i banned you then, I'm surprised he lasted that long.
jvlgato Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 good thing i banned you then, i wouldn't want you to fall into a pitiable state of pity party. Our king is a merciful king.
Dreadhead Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 This thread is chock full of epic goodness
Tyll Hertsens Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Now that the douchebag is gone, I wanted to mention something: I appreciate all the nice comments, and I'm fairly knowledgeable on headphone subjects, but I need/deeply-desire to say that as I investigate products I always find the relevant threads here to read. My experience is that they are spot-on not only in the general opinion, but also in the nature of the disagreements. I ALWAYS walk away much better informed. The collective here is far, far, FAR wiser than I, and I thank you all for educating me. And the mods for decapitating the noise.
swt61 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 This thread is good in that it reminded me that we sometimes talk about headphones here.
cclragnarok Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 What are these head-phones you speak of? They are kind of like earspeakers, except they don't sound as good.
