etc, but which ones do you people think are the most accurate *flat*
response? obviously not the grados, as they apparently exaggerate the
top end a bit, but which ones are the closest to a perfect flat
response? ie bass levels not boosted or attenuated, not exaggerated
mids etc?
I think truly flat responses is impossible with headphones. Just compare the
sizes of your more-or-less flat response studio speakers and the size of the
average headphone. A speaker with a diameter of only a couple of cm has its
resonance never in the range the bass-driver of your studio-speakers. So you
have to do several design-tricks to try to equalize the response. And that
with the limited amount of space. It is a wonder these headphones sound as
good as they do. (And most cheap one and even a lot of not-so-cheap ones
sound like crap...)
Have a nice sunday,
