what is wrong with these comments? good heaphones cost money, that's the way it is. Just like a good camera costs easily more than a grand or even multiple. Just because you can't afford it, doesn't mean it's overpriced.
This comment needs to be higher up. An iPhone 4 is just as capable of making photos as a $3,000 DSLR - doesn't mean that they're equal, of course the DSLR will have way better image quality. Same thing with headphones.
HaiItsMe good to see that there are other reasonable people here.

Behemothokun they're the same people who think branded names like Burberry or Zegna make 99% profit margin.
Behemothokun GTFO WITH YOUR LOGIC!!!
OBVIOUSLY Audeze is a audio brand for Musicians and High End listeners. Way better than any stock brand like Beats or Bose.
bose are better than beats
@@voltgaming2213 I use beats and already know Bose is better
Still using 17$ earbuds here and the sound is fine
Those from the dollar store are cheaper but work fine!
still using 90$ headphones cause i cant afford ATH-M50X I CRI ERY TIM
Still using headphones taken from the airplane
Using 80€ gaming headset or 75€ earbuds.
Mellow Monkey How some earbuds manage to more expensive than a case and motherboard combined is beyond me.
wow Michael from vsauce really let himself go.

31 Savage Audeze nuts HA GOTEEEM
Really don't like it when you review audiophile products to those who don't appreciate good headphones. Most of the people here use audio technica and v-moda headphones thinking they're the best headphones in the world which is really pathetic. Audeze is a great company that makes world class headphones, and they deserve much more attention, but showing them off with a "staggering" price point as the attention getter is the wrong kind of attention they need. This is actually audeze's first affordable and stylish headphone with their LCD 2, X, 3 all going for $1000-2000. Keep in mind that these headphones are planars, and not the traditional dynamic, so a good quality amp/DAC is highly recommended to take full advantage of them
Audio Technica and V-Moda are miles ahead of what MOST people use (cheap china earbuds, apple ear buds). Not to mention the overhyped crap made by Beats.
nirom1ronoc are they miles ahead of apple and beats for example? Yes. But is a $150 audio technica headphone something to compare to an audeze headphone? No. That is like saying the moto g is much better than a dumb phone so let's compare it to the droid turbo. Huge mistake for anyone to trash the audeze el-8 and claim the m50 are so much better when they have no clue of what they are speaking of
Wawaweewa Rice I own the m50x, which is my first headphone. It sounds absolutely amazing for the price and I can use it most places, like a train or plane (which is why I got it over the HD598). I, however, agree with you in that they are way way way behind something like this (hence the cost difference) and the fanboys need to pipe down, and they - by extension make others who use said brands look bad. But I'd also like to ask you to stop bashing the headphones and calling them trash. They are amazing for what they are.
***** good points, but I did not call the m50 trash. I was simply stating that it was "pathetic how people think they are the best headphones in the world" and always say they're better than anything else. Sure, they are pretty good for the price and they are headphones most people would like no matter the price. I was just trying to get rid m50 "worship", even if it may sound like I am trashing them (which I'm not).
It's like the moto g for example. Great phone for the price and performs smoothly like the other flagships. A phone worth recommending. But when people start saying it's the best phone in the world in every phone review unlreated to the moto g, it starts to get a bit tedious and annoying.
I'm sorry, but... no. These are not affordable by any stretch of the word. Their price is still prohibitive. Just because their big brothers go up to 3000 dollars doesn't mean these ones are cheap.
Are they worth the money? Of course not, they cost twice as much as the Fidelio X2 and the HD600. I'm sure they sound better, but for the amount of money you have to throw at them it's a waste. High end audio fools are so obsessed with buying the most expensive headphone they can get their hands on that they probably can't even listen to their music anymore. All the can hear now are the sound signatures of their absurdly priced headphones.
If I'm being honest $700 isn't that bad if they're actually good, durable and you're a responsible human being who doesn't trash their crap and replace it every 3 months.
There's no reason they shouldn't last you a good 5 years or more; that's about $0.10 a day.
Things like headphones, appliances, houses and cars are worth spending a little more on because the avrage cost per day turns out to be almost noting in the long run.
DRJGD666 They'll last easily more than 5 years with basic maintenance. Just keep them clean and replace the pads eventually.
Problem is, Audeze headphones have always had serious problems with quality control, and it's not getting any better. The best part is, the best sounding units, affectionately called unicorns, are the ones that die if you look at them wrong. The way I see it, Audeze is a mess of a brand, and I'm not into playing the lottery to get a headphone that sounds how the manufacturer intended it to.
@@izzoriousaxel8807 SBAF isn't a reliable source for anything audio related. Audeze has improved their QA and their customer service is second to none
Lew, you're sick, why are you here making videos?
He must get money :v
+Nolest dont compare to sennheiser hd 800's or Orpheus in a audio accuracy.
😂
i read this at the same time he said it in the vid, neat
4:08
I'd just like to point out that Lew is sitting in a fucking $4500 chair.
Not kidding.
Where the hell does he get the money

Link to chair?pls
search up Eames Lounge Chair.
they better be awesome for $700
+Syed Hoque I think these are actually the cheapest headphones Audeze makes.
+CockatooDude they are. they've got a $4000 dollar pair.
bloozism I know there is the LCD-X, LCD-3 and 2, and one more I think, which are all between 1 and 2 grand, but what do they make that's 4 grand?
CockatooDude
the LCD-4. Kinda fitting due to its name.
bloozism Ahhh. Will have to check it out.
What I really want a review of is that chair................................
It's an insanely expensive Herman Miller chair.
Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman by Herman Miller and costs about $6,000
+Mitchell Miller wth!? Chair better massage my soul and ass.
P.A.N.D.E.M.O.N.I.U.M. my aunt and uncle have that chair.
edit: actually it might not be the excact same one. but it looks very similar.

"Brilliant, Beautiful, Awesome." Cover Girl
OK I've got to give him credit..
as a audiophile myself I'm amazed that he has a tube amp hooked up to a retro vinyl player and the fact that that's what he tested them on.... this guy knows his stuff!
God damn I'll need to get a fucking loan for these.
I listened to these at Best Buy and holy cow are they amazing
Ur mum is amazing
Got them open box for $480. Best deal.
Look at luxury cars, they help you move around, just like the cheapest car you can find, and yet people still buy them. It really depends on what kind of things you're passionate about. Everyone has things the next guy would deem impractical and that's never gonna change.
5:07 "The vocals and what not are very up front, present..."
(sigh) The track you played is Get Lucky (Funk Hunk Remix)...there are no vocals!
Morgan Freeman hello brother
Morgan Freeman He probably added that song afterwards, we'll never know which exact song he played.
Morgan Freeman he was listening to the daft punk RAM album on vinyl and the songs are copyright so he can't put them in the video so he uses the Funk Hunk remix
Jonathan Terriquez How do you know what he was listening to if you can't hear it?
Morgan Freeman because he put the daft punk record on the turntable so he was listening to daft punk but i dont know which song
Lew plz.
1.) get 2 computer speakers
2.) get some heavy duty duct tape
3.) tape speakers to each side of head.
4.) HQ Headphones.
Da Illuminati yeah that would huge as hell
His salary is 7 dollars per 5000 views (source: TH-cam Partnering Program Guidelines)
Which means he has made about 65 dollars from this video
Great.
I should also start making vids.
I also heard that when we see the ads before the video, they get money.
I'm sure he's partnered with someone other than TH-cam.
Don't forget the "sponsored" money. He probably got a little more money out of this.
More likely 7 dollars per 5000 views from noon mobile who don't use adblock. He probably doesn't make that much.
I bought those headphones a few months ago and the sound of this is royal. I highly recommend those to everyone who lives for music!
" Vocals are very upfront " that means the 2khz area is being outputted at a higher amplitude than the 100 - 1khz area. Makes stuff comes closer, it also introduces a great deal of harshness to most instruments, especially distorted guitars.
Hey, that's a bargain when compared to Sennheiser's Orpheus, at $50,000.00 😊
Ever heard of Nike Air Mags?
10k
Totally not a ripoff, am I right?
HockeyCrab, aren't you that savage on the CeeLo Green Fuck You video?
Brazen hell yeah I am
Talks about vocals while listening to a song without vocals
Wat
+josh Subet He wasnt listening to that he edited something on so we dont awkwardly watch him shake his head in silence.
+Air stuff17 silence? It's open back
berriotue So what you thin there wold be that much leakage?
atleast not silence i mean...
+Air stuff17 spelling bro
lol
The chair is an Eames Lounge Chair. The original ones, I believe, started production in 1956. I don't know if this one is an original, but there are many authorised copies as well as thousands of unauthorised versions out there.
I have a pair of these and yes 'WOW' is a good place to start when describing them. Utterly superb and well worth the money.
*Audeze* headphones good? HA
+MeLikeBigBoom hey MLBB
+MeLikeBigBoom I'm gonna pretend that you are an audio virgin and that you didn't say that
OMG LOL XD
+MeLikeBigBoom hurrrrrrrrrrrrr
+David Chen it's a pun... "are these headphones good" -> "audeze headphones good"
I'll stick to my Audio Technicas.
Underground Tech As if you have a choice
Oracle789 dude that's just fucked up.
Oracle789 lol
Oracle789 he probably can afford them but doesn't want to spend loads of money on some headphones that will not help him in any way apart from better audio so go back to bashing one out in your mums basement
GetToasted but they are made for better audio hahaha nothing more.
the background of your studio is absolutely perfect!!! I hardly can take my eyese of it.
I frikkin love this channel man. You unbox stuff with a smooth moderation. I get relaxed. UnboxTherapy simple as that
How would you compare these to the se846 out of the box (not taking the filters etc that come with the Sure into account) in terms of overall sound quality?
Dude, you gotta review the Audeze Mobious!!!!
Agreed 2 years later!
@@arfanirtaza834 This gamestop clerk is not a reviewer, he is an unboxer who says "oh they really cool". What a review!
@@Cooliewhistles hahaha agreed!
I have a nice set of Audio-Technica cans that are open back design that sound great only cost me around $100. Bought them maybe 4-5 years ago and they still sound great to this day.
That chair looks super cool. And ideal chilin next to deck and reclining back. Some details would be dope
The moment he drops the headphones
Who is watching in 2016

apple tips me
YEAH BOii
im watching this in 2017
That vinyl to a tube amp... I would have an eargasm here for sure
I like that the guy who is reviewing the headphones is using a instrumental track and later he says the vocals are great in this video. :D
Hey Lew! That is one nice fuckin house u got there m8!

Locust damn why didnt i do that
Funk Hunk - Get Lucky

Not sure if you will answer this question but just out of curiosity I wanted to ask, do you prefer Android or iOS devices?
I believe he is prefers Android. He sometimes screenshots his home screen to show on social media
TheNuker1212 *I believe he prefers...
TheNuker1212 dipshit.lol
He uses an iPhone as his daily driver .. Just like any other youtuber does ...
iPhone because it doesn't slow down like my note 3 is doing rite now
Get well soon man
Can you please do a review of the closed back version ? and compare it with the open back one ? For a portable headphone/office headphone, the most convinient use, it should be the closed back because of the sound leak...
PS: i have the LCD-X audeze
I'm good with my $10 headphones
I know $700 headphones are too much but 10 dollars? 😂😂😂😂 HAHAH. I have beats and i have then $40 dollar ones. 10 ones will break easily and everyone can hear what you are hearing.
MrMiracleman123 Seriously what do those numbers mean man.
MrMiracleman123 LOL beats... you'd be better off with 10$ headphones, idiot
MrMiracleman123 Beats are up there with the worst sounding headphones I have listened to honestly I think that the $10 headphones would sound better. The only thing that beats have going for them is the style if that, and not to mention that they are horrendously priced if you want good headphones for a good price than buy the Audio-Technica ATH-m50x.
Ya I agree with imjustahero
I love how good u are able to pretend to be an audio quality spezialist. Amazes me everytime when you are reviewing headphones.
I like how you said pretty much nothing about the sound but still got the point across.
Ooooh damn, kicking back in that comfortable looking chair and listening to records with a great headset is exactly what I need. I love the look of that lounge area.
Hey l plan to purchase these eventually with the Audeze amplifier for a 1.5k, would there be something better for this price?
look at Z Reviews, he's got loads of vids on headphone, including this one
+smzig Mine haven't broke. I've used them every day since they've came out, still holding up.
Do you use an amp?
+Gabriel von Blumenthal I do, but an amp is not required.
Y'all need some of those top quality Beats.
Plz don't hate me, it was a joke
strangers:hey what headphones is that?
me:audeze
strangers:audeze wut
me: AuDEEZENUTS headfons brah
Why do i love watching somebody unbox random tech so much....
I'm still using the earphones that came with my iPod nano in 2009. Sounds great
what is the genre of music on unbox therapy use?/
sounds like lofi hip hop, at least i think.
HockeyCrab No you are right itz Lofi Hip-Hop.
what song is he playing?
Its Daft Punk Get lucky but a remix version
It's Get lucky by Funk Hunk
+Pratish Nagesar remix name??
+Batdorj Dorj Idk
D.p legend - jack skullz
that was so cool watching you listen to the vinyl and hearing the music turn up as you did it- on my new headphones! i don't know why that was so cool to me
tanks for still makeing videos even though your sick I hope you feel better
my fuckin' phone cost 700$
elmAArs theyre high quality headphones
Yeah, but you throw it away and get a new one every year. These you can keep forever.
Rolf Bause if you think people buy headphones just to chuck them after an year..
u stupid.
Anuradha Saxena i think hes reffering to the phone and not the headphones
+Anuradha Saxena I was actually sayin' quite the opposite. Sooo, - u stupid.
What chair is he sitting in when listening to the music?
+Jim Hood look up Charles & Ray Eames lounge chair. They are amazing if you have a couple 1000$ to spare ;)
lol thanks I found the chair.. 5600 >.> But thanks for the info!
+Jim Hood just look at his apartment in the background, he is loaded.

I like the new "style" of this video. Was really nice and flowed well
Sennheiser HD600 or HD650s are excellent as well, and play well with most amps. My 650 also works surprisingly well powered by my phone, tablet or laptop. Would highly recommend.
WTF only 700 $$$ Why so Cheap?
:\
UltraNSC ikr
Yeah...
I know right? It's almost as value oriented as the Titan V I have in my rig.
yeah... cheap
It's almost as cheap as the drone I have in my house.
LOL nice ad for new balance
HAHAHAH true
Don't be 'hatin on New Balance. They are godsend comfortable shoes for dudes with wide feet.
unominame That's why I have them.
The music name is D.P Legend- Jack Skullz
Listening to vinyl with what seems to be an incredible pair of head phones ON THE EAMES CHAIR! heaven.4:08
What is your salary.........
He gets them free.
Exactly that's why they always say it's a good product!
infamouscoma886 im pretty sure that they usually send the things back
Harsh Patel He get paid depending of the views and ads of the video from Google, most of these are review item that must be sent back. He must say that he got the item for free, if not it is illegal. Remember that Machinima thing with Xbox, I think they manage to hide the illegal sponsorship.
thats something you ask no man..
Try any HiFIMan headphones. Best quality for best price.
+mikelo303 Yeah but they are really tight on the head.
+CockatooDude not the newer ones. I've got a pair of 560's and they have little pressure. But the build quality is pretty shit.
bloozism Well you give and you take. I prefer Sennheiser as a whole for high end headphones. Amps are a different story. Btw how to the 560s sound?
CockatooDude
Solid all around. They handle bassy music like a champ, and their instrument separation is great for rock/metal and the sort. They're also stupidly comfortable. They do require proper amping tho, they're quiet on a phone/ipod. If I could magically refund the 600 i spent for these on ebay, i'd try out the Audeze's in this video, as they try to hit the same price point.
bloozism What amp do you use? If I may ask.
I tried this in a store, both open back and closed back version. I still prefer my LCD-X but at more than double the price that's to be expected. The EL8 is a pretty good headphone at this price. The open back has forward vocals and wide soundstage while the closed back version has punchier bass. It's also pretty efficient and have low impedance so you could plug it directly into a smartphone .
God I love the Eames lounge chair. Probably my favorite mid-century modern furniture piece.
Ugly. But I bet they are good. Wonder though how they compare to the 1000.00 Shures
Since these are headphones the are most likely more comfortable, but the sure let you change the drives for frequency so I'm not sure but they would put up a good fight the two
I know they are. Actually. I've wondered though to each his own , which many preferred in the music production industry. I still find this difficult. IEM or Over. I know on stage performances many use or all use the iem
Tony time4545 definitely
Can't believe how many people do not appreciate audeze's new change in design. These are audeze's first affordable and stylish headphones. Keep in mind these headphones are not targeted at teenage pop culture. These are aimed at more mature audiophiles who have no cravings of flashy headphones to show off for a logo. The shure se846 he reviewed uses a multi driver crossover which crams in many small balanced armature drivers. There are much better iems out for the $1000 price tag of this non custom such as the JH13 from JH audio and the fact that the single dynamic driver ie800 iem beats out the sr846 in every aspect but the bass (due to having only 1 driver) makes the shure look sad in comparison. The audeze el-8 is a completely different story. It is a full sized over the ear open back headphone using planar magnetic drivers (1 of the only 2 manufacturers in the world to use this type). They would sound more similar to audeze's other headphones such as the LCD 2 and the LCD X
I'm no teen. Lol. I can't stand beats or any glamour marketed fads. I won't give props to a big name if I do not like the design. However if they sound right, I'll give them a buy. Just so many choices. I've been happy with old bose set and jvc from 90s. Still working great. I surely don't label myself. I'm quite the "unfollower" of fads and marketing. I'm as you say more mature. Songwriting and performing are my soul. I create music. I know what I like. My point is still in my opinion that these may sound great, I just do not dig the wooden finish or the side hinge. That's me.
Audeze worth the money?
+Kuovix Depends how serious you are about audio.
+Kuovix Only if you have an amp to match.
No but audeze nuts are
Leon Grey Facepalm.
That was horrible, hope you are ready for the pun nishment
Lew was so much more chill in these older videos
he didn't make a sex joke at the force into socket part.....this man has earned so much respect from me
How do they comparison to beats? (sarcasm)
I'd say they are pretty much better in all ways except in the style department, Beats look a lot better but if you're more into performance than looking trendy, then these are the phones for you
try Kendrick lamers new cd with those headphones :)
Oh my god! Vinyl, tube amplifier AND $700 headphones. Never seen this much audiophoolery in my life!
I think I can barely slide buy buying these headphones, but I know they would sound much better connected to a DAC/Amp. I found a cheap (relatively) audioengine d1, a DAC/Amp in one device, but I'm worried that it will not be as high up the food chain as el-8s need... suggestions?!?!
$700 for headphones? does it come with front row tickets to every artist I hear.
700$ Feels cheap when compared to 55000$ Sennheisers
+Rolando Torres I don't understand people's logic. Spend 700 bucks on a shitty phone that you'll replace in a year or two? No problem! Spend 700 on laptop that's going to be obsolete? No fucking problem! Spend 700 bucks on a pair of headphones that won't become obsolete for at least 5-10 years? OH MY GOD, ARE YOU CRAZY? Also, what grinds my gears even more is that some people claim that they love music but when it comes to spending a little bit of money on proper gear that'll make their music sound a lot better, they lose their minds. Fucking retards
+abdolwahed alwaer sometimes, I feel that I am overspending on my set up, it's like an addiction that can't stop. So I am not going to condemn those uneducated critics as this is an expensive hobby to have.
+Hitler is actually a cat I can somewhat relate to you but you don't have to over spend and my point was about how if you spent that money on somewhere else where you use it significantly less, it's somehow okay. I know a lot of people who spend frivolous amounts of money on stuff that gets obsolete(electronic devices) or stuff that they don't use that much(4K 70" TV's and the such) but society won't bat an eye at that, what does anybody say when you pay quite a bit on something you use everyday?(I use my audio equipment for at least 4-7 hours a day) you're a fucking lunatic. that's my problem, I get labeled as an overspending lunatic cause I want the best of the best but nobody calls the fucboi wearing Giuseppe zanotti, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and armani stupid.
+abdolwahed alwaer Good headphones never become obsolete, they just depreciate in monetary value. ;)
God I hate people who are like "sounds perfect on my $1 dollar tree earbuds." You're not an audiophile, nor do you have much intelligence. They're not for you. Audeze wouldn't want people like you to use these because you know nothing about audio.
Ikr
Thank you so much for listening to these on a vinyl player!
I love your reviews and jokes are really good because you're not mugging to the camera and whatnot. 4:15 how you grabbed that record made me cringe a little though.
Sick setup!! That emes chair very modern and a nice turntable!
Probably sounds almost as good as mighty Beats Solo1
compairing beats to Audeze is like comparing Renault to Ferrari
No way Audeze are that bad. Opel has some decent cars, i guess Opel would suit more to Audize.
Martynas audeze is the ferrari of course
hahahahahahaha nice joke
Why do Americans always have to let you know when they're "sick"?
It's not Americans, it's the average TH-camr from any country. I've seen my fair share of videos (and I'm sure you have too) and I've heard mentions of sickness from TH-camrs from America, the UK, Denmark, Australia and Canada, and I'm sure there's more that I could add to that list.
HockeyCrab You know what, since writing that comment I've seen loads and loads of British youtubers do it, you're right. Pisses me off. The brits are doing it to copy American youtubers too because in the UK we don't say sick, we say ill. "Sick" actually means being actually sick, as in "puke". British youtubers make me want to drink bleach.
i like the idea of testing vinyl through a tube amp, because you won't be able to hear any the fidelity lost to the hiss and scratches from the terrible medium of vinyl, and the fidelity and transient response reduction and high end roll off that tube amps are designed to do. I think it's pretty clear you aren't aware of this because in a 5 minute video reviewing headphones, you said "the vocals and whatnot" and then "it's subjectivity." why did audeze send these to you lol
Just wanted to compliment your video/cinematic quality. You can pause to a frame and it looks like a DSLR photo. Great work. Greetings from another bro from T.O.
How to get the same sound experience for less:
1. Smoke a fat doobie.
2. Listen to your favorite music through regular earphones.
It'll sound just as good as these Audeze headphones.
Vinyl?! Dude - you're listening to music created digitally - then transferred onto 100 year old technology.
High fidelity that is not. You want to listen to the music *as close to the original as possible*. Sure you might like a warmer sound - but it's just a distortion (one that could be created with a graphic equaliser - why don't you get one of those too?).
Can't really take any audiophiles who like vinyl seriously - and listening to digitally recorded music on vinyl is just - well stupid. All that hassle and expense for what - logically - must be lower fidelity sound, makes you an idiot.
You must concede this with anything recorded digitally. Anything recorded pre 1980 in analogue - almost certainly is also lower fidelity on vinyl too - but there you have a small, weak, argument. With digital music - like what you played - there's no argument that it could possibly be higher fidelity.
Just acknowledge that - and sell your crappy analogue gear.
I just saved you $thousands. You're welcome.
+Nick Donnelly sigh brah sometimes plugging your 700$ headphones into a cheap ass mp3 player is just not classy enough...
+Nick Donnelly its a snob thing
+Nick Donnell You sound like a kid that has just learned a thing in one day and needs to tell everyone about it even if it's currently irrelevant and nobody cares. And why the fuck do you care what format people prefer, it's none of your fucking business so get over it. You sound bad just as any crazy audiophile...
+Nick Donnelly Actually, tape and vinyl still have some advantages over digital, including dynamic range (the difference between the softest and loudest thing, in decibels). There are disadvantages as well, obviously There is also a warmth to the tone of analog, all the waves are rounded, not binary/square, and it is perceivable. If you just want to crank some jams, yeah, grab an mp3, but to those that are serious about sound, like some serious about wine, or some are serious about cars, analog is nice. Expensive, but so is fine wine, fine dining and fine cars. A good set of studio speakers can run you $20,000 or more easily, so $700 isn't bad for something that will last a lifetime.
+Dennis Brown there are no advantages it sounds different because it has mono Base as sub 150-100 hz cannot be done in stereo on vinyl so Base is mono. some people like that
Sick video man ,you should make more headphone videos and reviews.
You're all going mad about the $700 headphones, but I haven't seen a single comment about the $6000 lounge chair. Good products cost good money. I'd suggest trying them before you say they're not worth it.
All this expensive audio equipment for listening of shitty music... Pity.
Lol what a waste if money i recommend the Audio Technica ATH-M50x
PopCornKilla Open vs closed. They're different. Try again.I'd say go for Sennheisers for around the price of an ATH-M50s.Source: I got both.
You audio technica wannabes need to take your audio technica garbage elsewhere and stop plaguing everything with your audio technica supremist garbage. None of you audio technica noobs even know anything about audio to begin with. The m50 only sounds decent for the price. Even the akg k240 for HALF the price of the m50 sounds MILES BETTER. Something to think about

Semi-open vs closed...
2010ngojo quit acting like they're completely different. It's pretty obvious what the differences are, and nothing makes them incomparable. For your information, closed headphones usually isolate more and have more bass (for the price). While open headphones give a more natural presentation with more sound stage. That's about it, don't act like they're completely different and incomparable because you're not getting anywhere by doing that
stop blindly recommending the m50x, they're good, yes, but not that good.
I love that setup with that chair and turntable setup! Sweet
Thanks for giving some feedback on the sound aswell. I have noticed you say a lot about the looks of a product but not so much on the performance and that is such a pitty.
There are no details in the description Lew. Tell us the model of the headphone amp you plugged this thing in to. Maybe a brief detail on that? Tell us the impedance of these cans. Give us a link to this product on their original website. Tell us if they have closed back designs in this series... Ugh I'll just go do it myself. Thanks Obama.
Dude, the chair.. I'm amazed by your chair. Can you tell me where you got it?
good to see you still use darkvoice amplifier :)
Wow all that equipment at 4:13 and now he plays songs from SoundCloud on his phone xp.
He listened to Daft punk, but that's copyrighted so he can't use it on TH-cam, however, the song on SoundCloud isn't. The track we heard isn't the same as what he heard.
