dalethorn 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2012 I found the following quote on the PC Advisor U.K. site. My first impression of the headphone was something like this, but PC Advisor's words express that impression more eloquently than mine, so I thought I'd repeat it here. "...It's as if the Amperior adds extra emphasis between each layer of sound it delivers..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dalethorn 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2012 Why hi-fi is complicated: Comparing the $350 USD Amperior to the $700 Shure 1840, the Amperior has the obvious weight or emphasis in the lower midrange, whereas the 1840 is light enough there to have an almost hollow quality (not really hollow, just by comparison). But while the 1840 has an obvious advantage in soundstage (yes?), the Amperior may sound "bigger" because of the extra weight in the lower mids. I was playing Hazel O'Connor's "Will You", which highlights those differences pretty well. This experiment suggests to me that comparing headphones on soundstage may not be so straightforward as some reviews indicate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dalethorn 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2012 bro dale, are u planning to try out the senn momentum? So far I haven't heard that they are a really great sound, so I don't know. It seems like it could be one of those bassy things. They sure didn't do too good with the HD700. But I spent $350 on this one, so Sennheiser made good from me.

nekatrall 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2012 i did audition the momentum well to my ears at least its kind classic senn sound bassy with veiled mids and highs but it feels solid even tho light and comfortable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dalethorn 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2012 bassy with veiled mids and highs That's definitely not for me. I can use bassy only if turning the bass down results in an excellent bass like the Philips L1 or Logitech 6000. Most bassy headphones if you turn the bass down it's no good. For treble, the ATH M50 and B&W P5 and Amperior are a little weak, but tolerable. The vmoda M80 and Logitech 4000 are not tolerable without a boost. But many treble shy headphones cannot be boosted without making the highs too harsh. So until I can hear the new Senn I will have to wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
