Koda T50RP Frequency Response



They sound exactly like the graph above. First three notes on a Natalie Merchant track, and I already started to Wonder.

I wonder if he removed the stock driver damping paper and left the driver open on the back.  Looks like uncontrolled resonant, undamped bass to me! 

Interesting to see how clean the CSD is in the upper mids regardless.  Go fostex!

he seriously didn't hear that? what a shame. he put so much effort in the external design and it did look very pretty. he seemed to quit though. i guess he gotten discouraged after this. shouldn't of though and could of fixed things with it, or had someone else do the sound/acoustic work for him. the design had lot of potential itself but i guess what can you do, ya know. stuff happens.

And the graphs can't convey how constricted the soundstage was, or the weird tonality to how voice and midrange instruments sounded. Definitely too bad they sound like that, because the workmanship is beautiful.

To me, the KODA^2 was a reference level can. It's truly a reference for how bad a headphone can sound. I can honestly say it is the worst sounding headphone I have ever heard.

I know, however, that others disagree.

As I was trying to tell people in the T50rp thread, the cabling and enclosure is decidedly not what is holding these cans back.  ;)

I agree. If there is a limiting factor IMHO, it's the size of the driver. I wish I had a big beefy one to play with!
