So I decided to spend some time with the dan clark stealths again. THX 789 legendary but decided to spring for a Topping A90 to drive them. Not sure I sensed any improvements beyond placebo there. .
Out of curiosity checked to see if there was a convolution filter for Stealth now because they seemed a little fat in the low end on my head.
JESUS FUCK ME 10X better! With the tonality not fattened all the insane measurements I read about clicked. Depending on rec quality its like a window for your ears. The arrausal moist made my eyes wet like an old lady and his Trans etudes sound so fucking huge - like all nuts. Respek his aged girth.
I think aside from headphone all less than 1k a piece. Measures better than even the stuff that is 10x price tho cuz the genzui Chinese engineers built it.
The fancy headphones I’m drawn to tend to be heavier and would be kinda lame for all day stuff. When I was working at a shared picnic table errr I mean “open office” I used wired in ears just cuz it shut out the sound of people not working, was also nice because people would think I was on a call so I could avoid hearing about 40 boring weekends. Those I used cheapo sets cuz wear and ear was high.
I’d be guessing on it honestly. I’d ping a dude that does similar work and see how his setup comes together. That way you can ask practical things about comfort and use case.
