what da hell... RM1400 for this kind of quality? Btw it only occurs in that particular track, and surprisingly burning-in with pink-noise helps to reduce it. Gonna let it burn longer and see

if you hear distortion on tracks that you have not previously heard, don't blame ur speaker/headphone...whatever you had probably wasnt good enough to show these flaws. I hear recording distortion in most tracks and there is nothing one can do about it besides looking for other music that is distortion free. I've found that the 701 is pretty forgiving on recording flaws, the dt880 and hd595 reveals flaws even more...probably also because they are inherently less dynamic themselves.

Is this good or bad? My Eva Cassidy CD is imported version, original. That means the CD is of bad recording?

Even my Cai Cin flacs also got distortion la Nothing to worry about.

to say HD595 is more revealing and less forgiving, i haf to say nay as i HAD them and nothing ever showed up as a flaw on them, a flaw much to be concerned off.

haha, means my chai ching and all those ape and wav i have distortion in them
how can we remove,, use a lower grade headphones....

I don't hear any distortion on my 金片子3, neither the SR80 or K701. I love the #07 情人的眼泪 the most, you can really feel deeply touched especially near the ending. Frankly, i never thought her voice is so friggin' good until i got my AKG.

nth major to talk bout. Haha..but not for tos freaking details pickers.

SR60 produces the plane fly over slower from the left and fade away earlier to the right. Means low sound hard to produce wif SR60.

eg HP890 oredi can hear the Vroom at duration 40sec. SR60 can hear at duration 46sec.

And I cannot feel the plane flying to the middle of my headphone(or above my head). PCwork said his HP890 can feel the flying 'Vroom' over his head. (this one confirm no fly beyond my head)

Dun take this serious. For a true result, both persons should test both headphones on the spot.

Haiyo, different source, different amps, how to compare...

i think i have mentioned many times in various threads that the recording is the primary determining factor of quality....original print/mp3/bit rate has little relative importance when it comes to quality. I have original limp bizkit hotdog, chocklate starfish...it distorts like hell. I also have take dake mp3, and it doesnt distort at all.

@ijan,
I never said that the 595 is more revealing, i merely said that you can hear distortion easier on the phone..that does not imply more revealing/detail btw, when people say revealing, usually they mean revaling more details...not more flwas

I'll post my own findings:

On my K701 i can hear the plane at 20s from the left driver, slowly move to the top then to the right. It sounded the loudest at 1:03s, and it went silent at 2:00s. I haven't test it on my SR80 though (not going to touch the Grado before 500 hours of burn-in.)

mine on the other hand differ a little bit..
i can hear the plane from the left side at about 24th seconds, and after that, it getting a little blur but still can be heard.. the plane sounds like over my head for quite a long time and suddenly at my right side. same with yrh0413 said, it sounds the loudest at 1:03s. however, it sounds clearer when the plane is leaving my right side..

since u guys serious bout this Track 06. i took another concentration.

Tested wif PCS805>SR60:
Between 20sec to 34sec - hear the wind or vroom in the sky(unindentify objects to me).
After 35 sec- can identify it is a plane
1:03s still sounds weak when it suppose to be the loudest.
After 1.45 - unheard any Vroom or wind sound in the sky.

Yeahs4.1 & Han is testing wif Akg701, rite? So, both of urs result pretty close to each others.

(Pls dun take my #post 468 result as real, as i simply put the time duration to make a quick explanation.. )

wow, 1:03s suppose to be the clearest for the airplane noise. Then at which interval you hear it the loudest dino?

At 1:45s onwards will have the seagull making noise right? I still can hear the plane among the seagulls, after the seagulls part then the airplane is quite clear until 2:00s.

I cannot detect the loudest airplane noise at 1:03s as happend in real life experience.
My living place used to haf some airplane fly over.. So, i know how noisy it is should be.

Yeah, the seagull still listenable & sharp. But i couldn't hear anything bout the plane after dat ...until 2.00s.

Have u try wif SR80? Maybe my ear cacat liao..hee..

nope, haven't listen them on my SR80. I'm not going to put my SR80 on my head before my K701 has 500 hours of burn-in

p/s: my place has even more airplanes in the sky. Malaysia Flight Academy (MFA) is just 2km from my house

nah.. jz using my cheapo 555...
the strange thing is i cant identified the exact location of the plane when it;s on top of my head.. erm.. i think about 10 seconds.. then the location of the plane is clear when the plane is at my right ride...

huh, i dun get any aeroplane track..this is on the ultrasone cd right? track 6 is the wave effect to me..

track 6, listen carefully. wave is the main sound, but the aeroplane is the minor sound and we're talking about that

wow, how can you skip the Ultrasone test CD? This is sure-must to test our K701!
