HDB 630 vs Bathys OG (vs PX8 S2)
I've owned these sets. The PX8 S2 is energetic out of the box; the recessed midrange, and boosted treble and low frequencies are how most consumer headphones are tuned, which is why some listeners will have issues with sibilance on certain sets. The PX8 S2 are especially strident; I prefer the PX7 S

Headphone Recommendation
I can highly recommend the px8s2 with the Sennheiser btd700. I tried focal Bathys mg and didn't find the sound signature as pleasing as the b&w. This is peak sound quality for me after trying out a huge pile of wired and wireless headphones. But always try before buy. You might have a fully differen

PX8 S2 McLaren
I've tried all of these personally. Was in the same place. Tons of audiophile grade wired cans, looking for an exciting pair of closed back anc. You wouldnt believe the look on my face when the Dyson Zones came out on top for me. By a LOT. Anc is the best I've ever used, in the sense that you can't

PX8s2 vs Focal Bathys Mg
like I said, I already have the Edition XS, Focal Elegia and HD800s also; I didn't like the Azurys with its flat soundstage, good imaging though. I prefer the Elegia from the Focals, but has some reverb. The Noire X is the best closed back wired set so far. But I only mentioned these for reference,

Bluetooth headphones for Ae
T+A Solitaire T A friend of mine has a pair of focal bathys (non MG) and he was looking to upgrade. I've briefly tried his bathys with Ae tracks, but I have not tried the solitaire Ts, but i have researched them and from several YT reviews and forum discussions, it's these that seem like the best po

Recommendation for closed back or wireless anc headphones
If you’re interested in sound quality and Bluetooth for classical music and home use, there’s no better choice than the Audeze Maxwell planar headphones.They’re marketed as gaming headsets, but you can use them without the microphone. There’s no ANC, but the passive isolation is so effective that it

DMS'S review of the new HDB 630 headphones - it’s an audiophile’s dream come true
I've owned the M4 and the driver is a bit crap. If I wanted V-shaped FR then I would (and do) use the XM5 which does everything better. This headphone is offering what sounds like a very neutral driver tuning made with headroom for PEQ, something the m4 isn't. It's more nuanced than just an M4 with

Try my HD 630 EQ setting
No, because you not a youtube reviewer who makes money off of giving what people thing is EXPERT advice to tens or hundreds of thousands of people like this Aaron guy. People who do this should at least have a minimum understanding of what is correct sound. It's ok to SUBJECTIVELY like a fun sound t

Headphone (1) pros/cons
Your ignorance on how audio works is once again noted. Also: A focal bathys sound better than many wired headphones This is such a nothing burger I don't even know where you're going with this.

Need an honest review on the Sennheiser HDB 630
I don't think you can find an honest review, it's just a momentum 4 with a changed tune and a strengthened chassis. The video shot by dms is an exaggeration, neither the driver nor anything else has changed. How can Hdb 630 be better than Focal bathys mg? I am a big Sennheiser follower and fan, but
