    It's good to see positive reviews still coming out for these headphones. I love my Verum 1s. I bought my pair as part of the kickstarter. For me they're the ultimate techno cans. I put ZMF swede Ori pads on them, and it darkens them up. The bass timbre is phenomenal, especially lower and sub bass. You can really hear the structure of synthesised bass lines. I also have some Gold Planar GL2000 (double magnet array), and when it comes to timbre the Verum 1s are in another league. The GL2000 beat the Verum out when it comes to imaging, you can tell they're more tuned, and they're brighter and so excel at electric guitar, 70s and 80s etc. But for techno/house, reggae, hip-hop, anything with bass, I choose the verums every time. I listen to them 3 or 4 times a week, and they're holding up good.
    I also bought some HarmonicDyne Zeus for £300, and I consider them a complete ripoff when I compare them to the verum that cost me £270. I'm actually thinking of getting another pair of verums, to see if the latest models sound any better.

      If you bought the HD800s, they are way wider than LCD-X, and Sonarworks also have a profile for them so be happy. If you bought HD660s, LCD-X is wider and more detailed than HD660s. Hope it helps! I own those three.

      @@joseluishernandezseptien Hi, i also have the HD800S and also the HD600 but what Sonarworks does with the HD800S is cruel man! Not at all a correction for these great headphones. You just need a dedicated DAC and pre-amp like the HDV820 to not having those hyped highs which they are known for and enjoy the very “natural response” which will be gone with Sonarworks default measurement for the HD800S. Cheers

      @@patrickalphenaar Thanks, Patrick! I don't know if I would describe it as cruel... The difference is barely noticeable actually so I don't use it often. It helps the bass a little bit. I think Sonarworks does a better job with the EQ of HD660s and LCD-X.
      I use the THX AAA Dacamp that has built-in EQ when I want to adjust it myself. The HDV820 is extremely expensive for what it is in my opinion but sure, it should make the HD800s sound a little better. Remember, I am not talking about pleasure listening but using them for mixing and mastering. Also there is the Morphit app that has a freqency response curve for them. Hope you like that one better if looking for a flatter response. Cheers!

      @patrickalphenaar 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@joseluishernandezseptien Hi, Thanks! Yea there is a huge difference in my case when using Sonarworks therefore i dare to use the word “Cruel”. The bass level it adds is distorting a lot! When analyzing the Frequency response of the HD800S its just extremely flat from 40hz up to 500 with not more than +_ 0,2db difference so also very very boring to listen to. Below that yea its rolling off quite fast but Sonarworks doesn’t fix that while just boosting. The phasing in the top end is just unbearable. I also use it for mixing and Mastering. I use Antelope Orion 32+ as DAC and HDV820 as Pre-Amp and its an awesome combination. I dont need to use any correction software as my Room sounds somewhere between the HD800s and HD600 so i know i am good. Just learn your Room, Gear and you’ll compensate automatically. Cheers

    Hi Dom. I currently have Rode NTH100M headphones that I use for PC and I use them with Soundblaster G3. I am also looking for a headphone for listening to music with my phone outside. If I consider the weather conditions, in-ears seem more suitable to me. It can also be over-ear, of course I would like to hear your suggestions. For in-ears, I have Truthear Zero Red and Nova in mind. For over-ears, I don't know whether to get wired or wireless. If I get wired, I like Verum1. I don't know what else! My maximum budget is 350 dollars and I can't go above that. Naturally, I need to get a DAC for such good headphones. Again, I have Questyle M12i, Fiio Ka5, Eversolo H2 in mind. Again, I am open to suggestions. I would be glad if you can help me choose.
