The measurements that are most indicative of perceived tonal balance are still Marv's v1 technique. This isn't up for discussion in my book  :)p3

Difference is that they don't stick out as much compared to how I perceive them.

LOL, you and your Megadeth recordings...

Anyways, this particular HE-560 unit may be more representative of what you heard (note the double penetrator):

Agreed. Marv's V1 measurements were quite good IMO. Big inspiration for me, actually.

Yeah, that HE560 looks more in line with what I heard. But, seriously, I have never heard a more painful sounding headphone than 2 out of the 3 560s I heard. I know there are worse out there. And I'm too scared to try them. (Jexby's HE560 wasn't quite as bad, but still not my thing.)

Guilty that I listen to less than ideal recordings, like metal. But even my non-metal stuff (folk, orchestra, etc.) still doesn't generally change how I feel about headphones TOO much. Does help a bit though on some troublesome headphones. Ah, well, I just like what I like...

It's the combination of specific circumstances.

Megadeth snare drum and percussion + 4.5kHz peak + 9 (4.5x2) kHz = really really nasty. Yeah, I was listening to Megadeth in the car this morning.

I've never actually listened to Megadeth before, but my guess is most rock and metal falls under that umbrella. ;)

Shame on you! How can you say you have not really heard one of the finest thrash metal bands from El Lay and claim you listen to rock and metal?

I know, I know... :'(   :spank:  This is not the first time someone has made similar comments about what bands I'm familiar with.

You need to see "The Last Action Hero" and rock to the "Angry Again" tune.
