Yes, I have a twitter [ / zeospantera ]
This has become one of my favorite channels
So I went to Denmark, and I went to the B&O store. Those crazy speakers have I think 8 drivers or something and actually sound incredible. They really blew me away. Even compared to expensive German stereos.
B&O has been making televisions for decades. Phenomenal televisions at that. Their audio gear has a similar negative perception to Bose, in that people look at them as expensive lifestyle products over quality audio equipment, when few have even heard their gear, let alone seen it.
They equipment can never be mistaken for neutral monitors and studio equipment, but the balance of design, sound, and enjoyment is very real.
I have foregone neutral sound and accuracy for the pure enjoyment that B&O and B&O Play has given me over the years.
here is what B&O does.
you call and tell them that you have "too much of the monies" and that you want to get some speakers.
B&O says: "sure, we got you, fam"
so they come to your house and measure your room, note the fabric on your floor, the size of your couch, how many bookshelfs you have, how big the room is ETC.
then they fuck off and you won't hear from them for a while.
one day they call you and say: "so we've put all that information into a blender, pressed start and here is the shit we came up with"
they deliver the speakers to your house, they install the speakers and listen to them for a while, making sure they are up to spec. then they fuck off again and you are left with speakers made for you.
a neighbour of mine (around 15 years ago) had this happen. he still lives there and hasn't moved a thing in "fear of fucking up the sound"
wanna know the specs of the speakers? 18'000€ a piece...should tell you enough. and yes, they sound fucking amazing!
Hom Tanks WTF... FOR A PIECE??? NOT FOR THE WHOLE SET?
yes, a piece! and that is just "entry level"
B&O does some stupid shit sometimes
B&O is pretty much a premium lifestyle brand these days. They can deliver good or at the price point you described perfect sound, but you can get the same quality from another company for way less money. B&O has sort of in a way become the Apple of the audio brands
well the thing about bang og olufsen is they make some beatiful speakers like really really beautiful and i feel its kinda like buying expensive art rather than speakers
@@Aomicplane no you don't...If you just ignore the big does of ugly,, that comes in with boxy speakers, amps, dacs cable.....Beolabs are active speakers and if you try to match them with amps, cables etc... you will almost run the same money... for an uglier system that no wife want in the living room
As a Dane i really appreciate B&O, and my parents got some products from them. Now their speakers are beautiful and sound incredible. They are not worth the money sound wise though(they still sound amazing), but brand and design wise, sure! Also B&O have made tvs for ages ;P
Ps. Bose doesn't have a chance against B&O, just sayin.
Bose is so far away, that it felt like insult hahahaha
Marcelo Tezza Indeed, they're nowhere near each other
Me, as a Dane as well, feel a little salty! I feel like he fucked with our pride! xD
Don't worry. This reviewer's complete ignorance on most things audio completely nullifies anything he has to say in regards to B&O and almost every other brand.
Well Bose has a completely different Sound.. "Type".. bose is like Beats - on the warmer and bassier side - while B&O is clean best to compare it to would be "Teufel".
I do own A Teufel Concept C200 USB Soundsystem and for 200€ its still unbelivable good.. yeah audiofills would want probably still better stuff.
My Brother got this 300€ Bose Companion Thing which everyone buys and imo it sounds awful not Highs.. scatchy and unclear mids but the bass is pretty "crisp" and rich.
Teufel though.. makes the best of both B&O and Bose. They are warmer and a bit on the bass side aswell but the mids are crisp and the Highs are present - but the bass is a not sooo crisp as the B&O or Bose stuff tbo. maybe because of that bass reflex stuff idk.
I do like the B&O H6 2nd Gen Im using as Headphones and for Soundsystems I would go with Teufel which is as I said best from both worlds but its a personal thing.
I like it a bit bassier and warmer thats why I went with Teufel there, B&O had nothing great for a PC though but yeah bose.. i wouldnt buy aswell. :)
The butter zone. I love it. You're totally right. I've always found this price range/style of headphone to be the perfect balance of quality and value.
Next T-shirt idea: "Don't be a headphone racist."
Did you just compare Beolab 90 to... Bose? Go and listen to the Beolab 90 first. Don't just judge a product of their webpage.
"They make tv's now"... they have been selling tv's since 1952.
Yes of course WTF
Go listen to a Beolab... it is an 80,000 USD speaker!!! it is Not Bose...
I remember trying these at an Apples store and being seriously impressed.
I'm just going to ask. Have you ever listened to a B&O Beolab speaker? Last time I listened to pair of Beolab 18's and came back home to my MA Bronze BX2, I almost sold them. And I loved the sound on Bx2's. Now I'm getting used to the Bx2 sound again and not going near the B&O store, I don't want to get bankrupt.
The Bronze 2's got a higher rating than the BX2, in case anyone is wondering.
MrKnifeFanatic But it's really not a big difference in person.
That's good to know, I'm seriously tossed up between a pair of those or Klipsch RP-150's. I don't care about low end as much as I will be getting a new sub and would rather great imaging.
MrKnifeFanatic If you have a chance listen to them side by side and then decide. When it comes to sound it's really all subjective
What about the SVS primes? or SVS Ultras? those are supposed to be exceptional speakers.
Very shiny and sleek, I like the look of these more so than the B&W's. Onkyo headphones are also in that fashion category, but not as well known and I think have some build issues.
B&O are the standard audio in most high-end Audi vehicles.
Btw the dj khaled editions use different drivers and have a totally different sq.
They have more of a V shaped sound and boomier bass compared to the originals.
i truly enjoy your Reviews and I have owned a bunch of B&O Equipment and the design was great to look at but did not stand up to even midfi like Pioneer or Yamaha and in no way would they ever be compared to my high end Audio gear .
But here in the the post 2000 era they have stepped up their game but although it now sounds decent it still can be humiliated by much cheaper gear .
Their headphones are another story ,I bough a pair of their form 1 Headphones decades ago and although interesting they were not even Koss equals but today the H6 'H8' and H9 are all very good cans and even the Earset 3i 's are not only a great design they really sound pretty good .
So i have had to give them another chance because they are not the pretty junk they used to be but keep up your reviews you make me laugh lol
I wouldn't compare B&O to Bose! have you actually heard the BEOLAB 90? they sound pretty amazing and there is some serious tech behind those.
Am now listening to this review with an awesome pair of H6's (2nd gen) thanks to it. Thanks Zeos.
Bang & Olufsen (B&O) (stylized as BANG & OLUFSEN) is a Danish consumer electronics company that designs and manufactures audio products, television sets, and telephones. It was founded in 1925 by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen, whose first significant product was a radio that worked with alternating current at a time when most radios were run on batteries. In 2004, the company opened a factory in the Czech Republic where it employs approximately 250 staff producing mainly audio products
Early history
Peter Bang (1900-1957), son of Camillo Bang, a successful Danish businessman, showed great interest in radio technology from an early age. After graduating as an engineer in 1924, he spent six months working in a U.S. radio factory. Upon his return to Denmark, he teamed up with his friend Svend Olufsen (1897-1949), whose parents made the attic of their manor house in Struer in Jutland available for experiments. When they officially opened their business in 1925, Bang concentrated on the technology while Olufsen dealt with business. There were a number of successful developments in the 1930s and 1940s, including a sound recording system for the film industry, roof-mounted loudspeakers for circuses and army vehicles, and the iconic Beolit 39 radio with a Bakelite cabinet.
Beolit 39 from 1938, B&O's first Radio in Bakelite
It was, however, many years before their business became significantly profitable. The firm suffered a huge setback towards the end of World War II when its factory at Gimsing in Struer in Northwestern Jutland was burnt down by pro-Nazi saboteurs as punishment for the management's refusal to collaborate with the Germans. Undeterred, Bang and Olufsen rebuilt the factory, producing electric razors until 1955, and then going on to develop a range of radio, radiogram, and television sets, later influenced by designer Ib Fabiansen when he began work for the company in 1957.
In the 1990s B&O opened dedicated B&O stores selling directly to users instead of selling through retailers. Production of audio separates was discontinued in favor of mini-type audio systems sold, as was usual for B&O, at a price higher than the industry average.

Why the hell was this necessary
I tried the Momentum 2.0s and the Sony 1As and I really came away loving the comfort and possibly even the sound more on the Sonys. So damn light and comfortable. I'll have to go to B&O and try these.
Thank you z. I got these with ifi hip dac like you recommended… but I’m absolutely in love with these using chord mojo 2. Perfect headphones that respond very well to eq and bass boost and smooth out the analytical detail of mojo 2. Absolutely DESTROYS my sennheiser momentum 3
Build quality on these might be a bit iffy. I had to repair the headband as it just completely fell apart on me. I've had these for a little over 3 years now, but still. And these aren't too comfortable. And I can't just get replacement earpads that aren't from B&O
Bought these off of Z's recommendation, and gotta say, these are great. I have v1, and from what I hear the v2 have more bass. Bad call... Bass on these is perfect. I'd call it "on-demand", because it's not boomy and goes away if not needed, but when the kick drums start playing, you're gonna know. Isolation is pretty decent, but the headband is shit. Compared to MDR-1A/R it's hard as rock, and my head starts hurting after a couple of hours. Pads are pretty small too - my ears fit perfectly inside, but touch the pads. Not unpleasant, just something to bear in mind for those with larger ears.
sony is really quality imo. they've upped the game with MDR1a and Mdrx1000 great headphones.
Yeah, that headband is a crime.
Kriss Kulins You’re saying that the v1 has perfect bass? I’m debating about getting a used pair.
Thanks!
A short little story. I was out for a Sunday walk around town, and got into a newly opened electronics store. Probably had around 100 headphones on display and needles to say, i spent my whole day trying them on. All i can say is that among all sonys, doctors, boses, and all else, I loved these, had the chance to put them on and got lost in time listening to my phone music with them on. The most gentle and delicate sound ever. Like a fairy massaging and kissing your ears continuously. The price tag woke me to reality tho...
Dinu C are you a writer?
Hey! I was just wondering... How do these compare to Sennheiser Momentum? I remember you liked them and they are also fashion cans...
Sinan Celikel these have more clarity. more laid back. have bass but not as midbassy
Comfort I can't pick. These have less overall bass but have better sub-bass. Highs are similar but a bit more laid back here.
Z Reviews how do the soundstage and imaging ?
Did you ever heard a Beolab Speaker?
ha! 11:36 "very comfortable sound" was my verdict exactly after listening to H6 in B&O store for a decent amount of time...
"If, like, French artists...mime artists...just decided to make speaker...things that made sound" -Zeos
how do they compare to meze 99 classics?
I really like the design of these. Makes them look like quality but no bs headphones.
@Z Reviews And here is the thing you will do: You put the MPOW bluetooth thing on the right cup using 3M double side sticky tape grey stuff, connect it using the short 3.5 to 3.5 green cable from the chromecast audio and now the standard cable can still go on the left cup if needed. It is the perfect bluetooth headphone!
The H6 earpads are made of lambskin leather + very soft memory foam. But I agree, they are sooo soft and comfy you first think of some kind of softener-soaked "synthethic". But they are quite the opposite - and very durable (I´m using them (Rev 1) quite a year now as mobile headphones, no complains so far).
Z - congratulations, your review opinion nailed it. They are "everybodys darling"-tuned and still not boring. My only complain - the mids could be a little more detailed / pronounced, voices are often a little bit recessed - but using HD600s at home, maybe I´m a little bit midrange spoiled ;)
Speaking of performance - yes, you can fire them quite well with your phone (I´m using them with an iPhone 6) - they sound nice - but amping them (I´m using a FiiO X3 or Onkyo HA-200) really makes them sparkle (gaining sub bass, detail and treble range) - elevating them from "oh nice" to "can´t believe the awesomeness bleeding out of this little fashion victims".
I'm glad you like these, I have a pair. These are probably my favorite to listen to music and that is comparing to B&W P3, Beyerdyanmic DT770, Sennheiser HD25 & Denon hp dn 700s.
Jamieus Rowlando I have a pair too! I was thinking about getting and amp for them though. Do you use one? Or is it not worth it?
@@LegendTheAnonymous i was also thinking of getting an amp for it. was thinking about the chord mojo, but idk if its worth it.
When i tried these i loved them so much, really enjoyed the highs personally.
Wow, that music by Yosi Horikawa is amazing! Thanks for that :)
Did you just say Beolab 90s not going to sound better than those mdf boxes? ahaha It is an endgame speaker that blows every other b.s manufacturer out and one of the best bang for buck speakers out there.
The next step above BDSM is BDSM with headphone cables and carrying bags... Be careful, Z
The Safe word is "Jotunheim"
Z Reviews screw that. My safe word is "Yggdrasil".
Having the OPPO pm 3, the audeze sine, the athm50x, vizo hp50, and God knows how many other $500 less headphones the beoplay 2nd edition of these headphones is honestly my favorite out of the bunch, costing only $300 it's a no brainer.
TheFijianGuy so you would say these are the best headphones under 500, thats my limit and i want to buy the best under 500 how are they compared with the b&o h7?
Rafael Sazo in all honesty it depends on the music you listen to overall I would definitely recommend the second generation of these if you need something for everyday on the go use. The h7 being wireless has that convienence but to me I prefer the h6 over them, although I liked the sine, comfort wise those were just not worth the money paid for them. I would get the h6 (second gen) and with the extra cash save it for another pair later down the road. Good things come in time.
TheFijianGuy thanks for the answer, can you explain why do you prefer the h6 over the h7, is it because sound quality or preference?
Saw here the review for the JBL Studio 530 and i loved the design so I bought a pair. Best decision ever made. Then I saw the Studio 230 and did the same thing. With the headphones is different because I never was into them, but just loved those b&o when I first saw them and bought a pair of the second generation in black. The sound signature&quality is outstanding!
You need to try the 2nd Gen - a little bit more bass, smoother mids, more treble detail, and more efficient.
I want none of those things in these.
I think both generations are great, the 2nd gen fixed my very minor complain that the 1st was a little bass-shy, you could hear the potential in some songs, but I found it lacking in most. I'm not talking about tons of bass (like my TH-X00 PH), just the right amount. Also, my iPhone didn't get the best out of the 1st gen, often maxing out the volume, so I find the more efficient 2nd gen better for portability, which is my main use for these.
lots of reviews say 2nd gen is definitely better
I keep seeing those monitor audio bronze 2's sitting there. Dying to know what you think of those.
Just picked up a pair of these for £45. Just discovered that you can also daisy-chain another set of headphones into the spare 3.5mm socket.
I was waiting so long for this!! Thank you sir!
Keep in mind that those Beolab 90 have single drivers worth more than anything Bose has EVER manufactured. Good direct/reflecting speakers can sound really enjoyable. I just sold my dbx SF-10 and those were some solid sounding 1980s direct/reflecting speakers. And those dbx only used cheap Pioneer midrange and woofer drivers. The B&O would likely sound very good with their Scanspeak drivers.
You're so right about all $300-400 portable headphones being pretty solid. I was looking into a new set of portable over ears myself a few weeks ago (after I sold my OPPO PM3 and B&W P7). I went to an audio store and tried a whole bunch, I came back surprised at how similar they were in quality, I didn't think the decision would be so difficult. In short you can't go too wrong with any of these headphones, just find a retail store, try in a bunch and find one that fits well then see if you like the tonality. Quality wise they're mostly comparable. And just for those who are curious, I walked away with a set of Denon MM-400's and Sony MDR-1a ;)
I got the H7 wireless, best headphones I ever had. Use them every singel day for a year, fantastic sound and comfort. Werth every penny :-)
@Timmy C. No idea :-) But still the best I ever had og still going strong. I use them every day for hours
I feel like people should know that if you are in Canada these are about 230 CAD (180USD) right now (27/11/17) on Amazon and I think for that price nothing can really beat it.
Hey Z :) How do the Sennheiser M2's compare to these over all? I can get either for around the same price and my budget only allows for one.
I just bought the Gen 2 H6, and stumbled on your review, now you're my fave! I'm completely new to audio equipment, I'm coming from cheap ass Sony DR-GA200 that's falling apart.
gen 2 h6 is the best combination of looks and amazing sound. I've found all the headphones that sound better than this are often ugly.
but this is like perfect. I hate that samsung owns them now so i dont want to buy it and support them.
The H6 need a Chord Mojo. Best match ever! Extremely spacious, extreme high details. Brutal Sub Bass. Imaging is akkurate you're right! Normaly the Mojo is a minor upgrade to a iBasso or a Fiio or something like this. Not so with the H6. They are made to live together!
The 1st gen were ok, but the 2nd gen are amazing.
You'd have to move up to an Audeze $1200 headphone to beat the H6 gen 2. Super light, super compfy, amazing sound on all levels...it's all there. And the bass depth and extension is hard to beat...never mind the staging, clarity and separation. I own AKG, M&D, Fostex, Sony, etc. Nothing at this price point (in a closed back) even comes close to the overall sound quality or usability of these cans. Get the gen 2...you will enjoy them.
Do you happen to know how are these compared to B&W P7 ?
Anatoliy Mandra The P7 have a bit more low-end emphasis, but don't have the imaging, articulation or stage of the H6. I know Z says here that the imaging is great but stage is narrow, that is true only of the gen 1 H6. The gen two are very wide. P7 and H6 gen 2 are pretty evenly matched, but for my money I sent back the P7 and kept the H6...it always comes back to imaging and separation for me. I'm actually quite a bass-head, listening primarily to D&B, Dub, Breaks, Trap, etc. And while the H6 isn't a "bass 1st" headphone, it's depth, extension and range provide ample low end. Again, I have others that place more emphasis on bass (such as my Master&Dynamic MH40), but I always come back to the H6...it just sounds better (and is crazy light....and looks amazing...and....)
jason starek thanks. but what about their clamp?
Anatoliy Mandra I think both are very comfortable. I mean, like really comfy. Both use really nice leather (lamb skin possibly). The P7 is a bit heavier, but has a really nice padded headband. The H6 is lighter and the headband is breathable fabric (I wear it for upwards of 3-4 hour at a time and never get hot). As for clamp, again, very similar. There is enough force to get a great seal, but it's not harsh. I have tried several (like the AKG, Fostex) that I thought didn't have enough clamp force (I have a small head). Plus (with the H6) you can bend them a bit and increase or decrease the clamp force. I think you'd be happy with either choice. On a side note, you can only use the B&W cord with the P7, but I have an aftermarket braided nylon cord on my H6. I just like the customization and that the nylon cord isn't as "springy" as the plastic cord that came with the cans.
This H6 is a beast.Sounds just tooooo good
Back in the early 80's B&O were renowned for their looks, Hifi equipment anyway the kind of thing modern interior designers would buy..
Are the B&O H6 gen 2 a good buy for 250 dollars or should I consider other options?
From your review I'd say these are pretty similar to Takstar Pro 82, aren't they?
Hit the nail on the head; they sound almost anemic after switching from my m40s, but you get used to it. I'm actually super impressed by those little Form 2i's they sell. For the size they kind of blow my mind. Not worth 100 bucks though, but I'd gladly pay 50 or so.
B&O Are very known for integrating speakers in many laptops and other mobile devices. That's what keeps them in business also. Those laptop speakers just sound a bit better than average.
Danté also cars
taief miah Yep
Danté I think they do just the software part. Tweak the drivers(sw) and eq to get as much "good" sound as possible
Amin Bajrektarevic Oh, it might be. I don't remember exactly.
Another guy who has never listened to B&O and think they are all about design.
Nobody around me could afford B&O
Well then you should listen to some. Im sure there is a showroom around. The myth that B&O is all about design is widespread and most of those who keeps saying it has never listened to their products but base their opinions on myths or by seeing their design and pricetag. Nothing like Bose. Bose is great at what they do well like professional voice communication and noise cancellation but they seldom win any prices for pure audio quality although their bose quietcomfort 35 was for a while the best at the combination of sound quality and NC.
Jostein Brede Røer Nilsen Ha ha. B&O is design first. That is at the heart of everything thing they do. Sound and WAF is great but price for sound quality is ridiculous. 2nd hand though, there are some great option but you are not paying all that money just for sound which blows everything else out of the water. Same with there TV's
i would rather spend money on these B&O headphones over beats.
I was thining about getting these cuz they look good and sound good combination of aesthetics and sound. Samsung owns them now though I don't want to give them money.
what are the alternatives to these headphones would you guys recommend them for a newbie.
AHAHAHA BOSE😂😂😂
I loved my H6 gen2s when I bought them but the leather on the pads was torn to shit after about 15 months (and I've only ever used them at my desk, never rough with them) and now they don't make them any more so I can't replace them. I doubt I'd buy B&O again
Same as H7 isn’t it
@@unintentionallyfire apparently the pads aren't cross compatible between models.
Jonathon T that’s annoying as I’ve got the H6 gen 2
It would be AMAZING for us viewers eye-holes if you would bump up that resolution to 1440p. Please and thank you.
Anyone who makes a judgment about this brand is certainly not an audiophile, we know that each product is completely different from another, uses different drivers, including some from other manufacturers, different boxes, other amplifiers / DSP, with a different target audience, different prices, we have to differentiate the ignorant peaple from true audiophiles.
Yup. Bought them for 279 Euro in black. Btw if you like I can ship you my Custom One PROs, but shipping probably costs a ton from Germany to the US. You're probably better off buying a pair on ebay, but I really feel like based on your channel description, you need a video on them.
Thanks for the review Z!!
Hey Zeos, If I want to listen to Music all day, Should I pick H6, DT880s, or Z1Rs?
Great sounding headphones, I must say. I had it for a 2 days now. The only issue I have is the sound leakage, which means I'll have to play the music in the low volume setting , which is bit of an issue, even a slight increase in volume, you are publicising your music playlist to the people sitting around you.
I agree with everything here. The H6 were great, but the ear cups ended up being too small for me. Returned them and purchased the HE500 based on your review and various other research and I love them. Next purchase will be the Jotunheim and balanced cable for the HE500. Looking forward to seeing what this pairing can do. Awesome review!
did you end up going through with it? how are they on a nice amp? im curious because I'm looking for some headphones
Z, what is your oldest pair of headphones that you still have? And if you have not made a review about them, what are your thoughts of said headphones?
I abandoned my HD280pro's when I moved as a sign of growing as a person. I had those for 9 years. They were replaced with the HM5 that don't get much play these days.
Zeos, have you ever listened to the monsoon mh500,700,1000? I found a pair of 500s in my house, but have yet to hook them up? Curious on your opinion? the 500s come with half half planar and cone construction with a seperate bass unite
MY BOY LISTENING TO THAT COWBOY BEBOP SOUNDTRACK!!
I have the A9 and the Beolit 15 and I couldn't be happier
Hey Z, when's the Monitor Audio Bronze 2 review coming out? I'm really curious about them! I wanted to either get the Klipsch RP-150Ms or those so I need your review! Is there anything you can tell me about how they compare?
hi Zeos! does the H7 have smae musicality as this? or different? its the only available B&O Headphone in my country unfortunately
Thx ! I happened to realise that the H7 & H8 sound pretty
different, the H8 is more bassy, less sound stage but still very good imaging, deep feeling, you know the sound is right there, while some frequencies come from wider. They isolate better passively, yet the active NC is said to be not to be great, as you have some artificial noise coming from the system itself while walking... I don't really care about NC & bluetooth, but the fact is it's part of the price 😣
I only listened to the H6 twice, & not long enough to really compare with the 2 others. I still think the H6 & H7 sound pretty close, so its differences with the H8 might be similar. Anyway, considering the price criteria, no doubt the H6 is a far better deal, & to me they're some of the best portable cans in that price range, with the MSR7, Momentum M2 (which just dropped down from 320 to 250€ in France) & may be the Focal Listen (last stuff out from em), a bit treble & highs forward & very crisp (& better built than the shitty Spirit One S in appearence, sounding great but inevitably broken).
Now, the Status HD2 & this world is done 😄
b&o are the most sophisticated tv and music reproducing product making company in europe
through their architects they offer a service, that installs the plan for a total hifi- equipment all over your house.
before it's built. so, wenn you come into your home, you just clap in your hand and tv and hifi in all your five bathrooms,
four bedrooms and 3 saloons go on standby. . and their soundquality equals the top-products of klipsch.
their headphones seem to be the perfect match for astell &kern . as critics confirm
ps: theyr
man, I love ur vids
Why aren't this video public!?
reddit privilege
honestly I don't know how anyone got here.
Z Reviews You linked This Review on your Reddit recommendations list
z please review the 2nd gen of these
The description of the sound signature very much resembles how my Monster Miles Davis Trumpet in-ear headphones sound.
It sucks that they don’t manufacture the h6 anymore, had to get one from eBay for the first time
Same, best £150 I've ever spent
These or the MDR-1A's?
What did you buy?
Hey Z, if you only had the budget for the B&W P7 or the B&O H6(2nd gen) to use with a FiiO X5 Gen 3 DAP. which would you pick? :)
Aren't these those DJ Khaled headphones?
Yes they are.
Oh oh, Would you pick these or B&W p7 ? if had to choose only between the two.
m.reddit.com/r/Zeos/comments/5b1qb3/guide_music_headphones/
Paweł Fotek I've owned both...H6 2 gen all the way. The clarity and articulation is insane for a close back. And even open backs would be hard pressed unless you spend twice as much. I use these at work (closed back is a must), and the only cans I liked better were the Audeze and Fostex that cost over $1000. That said, I do prefer both the others, but my wife would rip my balls off if I spent $1200 on headphones.
Hmm then I might buy them again, I really liked them, but my good old iPhone 4s was dying on me so I had to send them back to get myselft the Galaxy S7, I remmember auditioning them in a mobile phone store with exactly galaxy S7 and they sounded great as well. Anyhow, you just made me certain that they're worth it. Thank you :)
the problem with these, the fabric literally melts and crumbles
As someone who has Beolab 18's, 19, 5's, 8000's ; BeoPlay A9 & A6 I have a biased opinion. I happen to like style that sounds amazing. On the otherhand i don't seem to own any Bose
How are the H6 compare to CB1 & M40x ?
You don't know what you're talkin about when you blame that A9. It actually sounds like a proper sound system for about 30% more money, but you're paying that extra for the design, simplicity, and the fact that it's a well made freakin WIRELESS speaker
Hell yes Asuka.
Listening to this on a brand new pair of H7's. These are perfect.
Just for your info B&O belongs to Harman (like JBL or AKG) and Harman belongs to Samsung.
tos1x This is not true, only B & O automotive belongs to Harman
Thank you for your review and the recommendation the other day.
Mine, Black 2nd generation, are on their way to me.
Are these worth buying if I already have (call me stupid) ATH-M50? I need a good built quality and a fairly neutral sound. Thank you!
Yay for reddit link! is this video going to be public in the future?
Right now.
Someone tell me how they compare to Audio Technica ath-msr7s. I hated the msr 7, really fatiguing and congested sound, but this guy loved them. My ath-m50 were lovely but falling apart but this Z dude slates them. Looks like I don't agree with his verdicts but his style and channel is very entertaining.
I pick these over the MSR7. More laid back, never fatiguing. Your love of M50x might tell for a strange passion for pain however.
Z Reviews those of us who enjoy the M50x aren't probably listening to fatiguing music.
Clearly this man don’t know what he is talking about. First of all the B & O A9 is not mono, Z Review commented that they do TVs now, in fact B & O has made TVs for 60 years, the Beolab 90 is infinitely better than these monitors that Z review has in every aspect. Bose has no competitor of the Beolab 90 and the acoustic signature of the two brands are completely different. Everything he said was wrong, proving to be a complete ignoramus and not knowing B & O, and never having listened to Beolab 90.
Agreed
Hey! Are you reviewing the Beoplay H8 any time soon ? :)
I liked and subscribed after the bag commentary, "If someone put this bag over my head and kidnapped me, I'd be like, "Wow this is really comfortable!!"
Very nice setup, Good anime is great too, great review thank you! That is a Lambskin leather, cooler and softer leather.
That said, I love B&O but definitely get what you mean, some of their speakers are...kind of crazy. You should hear the Beolab 90 though, I went to an event at their Portland, OR, location and they had two setup... O_O
Life changing!
Their quality material/design, attention to detail, ergonomics, and the sound they produce... holy f%*&!
H7s are even better! 4.2 Bluetooth!
Not just smooth m8, but clean! clean AF! even when the bass is clean! they're just insanely clean....
hi..when are the bronzes coming out and why did you put them upside down? thanks
carpenter Brut is good ;) he did some music for the hotline Miami 2 game, what are your favourite tracks from him as I haven't heard anything else
No offense and I love your vids, but god I wish you put the timestamp description for when you begin to start discussing the sound sig.
Automatic thumbs up for that Cowboy Bebop soundtrack on intro
i could not agree more with what you sayd last
but if you like Rap or House , the ones with Sub-Bass should be 1st , others for Need for Speed and Counter Strike
