Re: What did you just buy yourself?

Absolutely. But I must say, my CB1300 is pretty spartan, no ABS or any of that stuff, but the Versys is on the other end of the spectrum with active suspension, cornering ABS, traction control, which makes riding it also very nice.
Mine has none of it too, happy it has an electric starterβ¦.LOL.crimsonwarlock wrote: β29 Nov 2022Absolutely.

my samsung got some bad secrots and clusters.
damn. i still do not know how this happened and why.
summa summarum one of my project reason files is corrupted.
and some my FLAC 192/24 export files are also corrupted. for these are no worries. i will do a new export.
also some mp3/flac files are corrupted from my music library. and some my project adobe photoshop .psd files too.
f**k, s**t, p**s!
anyway, i will get my new crucial ssd in 8 days.
i hope t will serve well.
i shall stard doing my backups more frequently. and on more places.
not funny at all.
Mixing sub bass will be annoying with them:Popey wrote: β16 Dec 2022These are being delivered today dt 880pro. Better frequency response than my current headphones and I don't get chance to use monitors as create music at night.
Going to pair these with sonar works and looking forward to listening to a ton of music to get used to them.

I have the 250ohm version so not sure that makes a difference. I really don't like iem or any inear buds so not an option for me and the ath you mention would have been out of my price range even if I did like IEMs.RobC wrote: β16 Dec 2022Mixing sub bass will be annoying with them:Popey wrote: β16 Dec 2022These are being delivered today dt 880pro.

For that price, you could have gotten an IMO far superior ATH-E50 professional IEM.
IEMs and Speakers tie for me. IEMs are for hearing; Speakers for feeling the sound.
Headphones get 3rd place. A mixed bag of both worlds, but much worse. But I don't dismiss them. Open back ones with high dynamic range are still curious. Of course the good ones can be expensive.
Hi RNW yes that's the software. I have used it for a few years with my old sennheiser and now just added the dt880 profile. I use it at around 75% dry wet to flatten the profile a bit.Rising Night Wave wrote: β16 Dec 2022these looks cool. very nice. i like the silver color.Popey wrote: β16 Dec 2022These are being delivered today dt 880pro.

frequency response is also awesome.
am, you were talking about sonarworks. were you talking about headphone calibration tool?

...or save people money; make them buy better gear, so they don't need to upgrade, or hire additional engineers as long as they can't really afford it.
I heard the higher ohm, the higher the dynamic range (?). Dunno, with IEMs, E70 in particular, I yet have to hear distortion, before it blasts my ears.Popey wrote: β16 Dec 2022I have the 250ohm version so not sure that makes a difference.

I have monitors but never get chance to use them as kids are in bed before I have free time to make music.
I do prefer my monitors but never get opportunity nowadays to use them. Should have mentioned HP were on sale so 130gbp and that was top end of what I could afford what with Xmas, cost of living increases etc.RobC wrote: β16 Dec 2022I heard the higher ohm, the higher the dynamic range (?).

Have you tried custom fit, or lately the Comply Foam tips? They say it makes a huge difference. I don't even notice them, but up to everyone's preference, indeed.
I thought both the E50 and your HP are $ 200, but I guess not then.
Then you're stuck with headphones. Which aren't all that bad, but concentrating on sub will be frustrating. Been there with these "studio" EQ-d mixing headphones that cut sub and even treble. The result was that my highs were too sharp, and the sub was either right, or too much. But getting the sub right came at the cost of long listening sessions, and shot ears afterwards. I still hear well up to 17 kHz, so no damaging, but yeah, not really pleasant to work without enough bass.
I would have chosen one with better bass, but if you were on speakers, mostly, then I guess the above 80 Hz focus might be more beneficial for you at the moment.
Ah okay, then (IF) I would have recommended the E40 I had those, too, but they are more for joy listening, IMO. Great nevertheless. They can be worked with, but the E50 and E70 are more suitable for full professional work - given people are adapted to 'phones and IEMs, not just speakers. But that's another topic.Popey wrote: β16 Dec 2022I do prefer my monitors but never get opportunity nowadays to use them.

Anyway been trying them for an hour or two and they seem to be a big upgrade on my last phones. Bass is less but still OK for me but proof will be after I have done a few mixes. Not heard any distortion yet and been listening to bass heavy tunes.
To be fair Rob I don't think you should "make" people buy better gear and just for the record it did come across as rude. That said I appreciate you were trying to give advice albeit misguided.

I will never have the best gear but I don't let that worry me and prefer to just be thankful of what I have and use it to the best of my ever improving ability.
