TH600 Measurements
« on: November 06, 2013, 07:28:39 AM »

Yet another set of cans available at the SD meet.

These are Burns cans, and are described as fun and enjoyable. I agree. Hopefully he'll chime in with his impressions since I only had a brief period of time with them.

Frequency Response



Compare with TH900s:



CSD right



CSD left

Maybe a more accurate representation of FR would be the first couple of slices of the CSD instead  :-00

Dunno. Those actually measure close to what was measured previously from their siblings the TH900s.

The treble peakage of the TH600 is much worse. I could just stand them with the TH900, but not so with the TH600. Also the TH600 don't have the uber clarity of the the TH900.

Yeah, that's really odd that the recession at 2.5k-5k is nearly recovered in the first couple time slices. Does this happen often with other headphones? Never noticed it before.

I think the recession (and in some cases full null) around those frequencies happens in some sealed cup headphones and it might be even wider depending on design.

I feel the ridge around 4 to 6.5 kHz in the CSD is a result of both the 2.5-5 kHz recession and subsequent peak around 5 to 6.5 kHz. Seems relatively short in duration though.

What I'm wondering about is the area directly left of the ridge. At time=0, you can't even see the plot because the time slices directly afterward are at a higher dB. It seems a little odd.

From time slice to time slice things may change quickly. On an idealistic/perfect infinite bandwidth headphone situation, from t = 0 to t = delta_t there should be an abrupt drop given the IR is very narrow. If there is an abrupt change affecting a particular frequency in the IR, CSDs might drop or fill quickly.

I can try adding more slices and changing the perspective of the CSD to see what's going on there.

LOL!, the measurements show a can that is not neutral. I didn't spend too much time with them to form an opinion, but I know Burns has and likes them. I would definitively give them a shot.

Probably wouldn't buy tho, but that's 'cuz I'm cheap.
