Code-X Measurements
« on: November 07, 2013, 06:02:07 AM »

These I did spend a little bit of time at the SD meet...

Sound

Out of the open planars that I heard at the meet, I liked these ones best, followed by the HE-6s. They are different form the Paradox though. Perhaps a little more fun and posses more air. Bass extension is ortho-good and have great dynamics. Mids had more presence than what I've heard from the Audezes. Which is good. This is not a dark headphone. Treble has presence, but didn't feel it would be fatiguing or painful at all. Very enjoyable.

Comfort

It is what it is. It's ortho heavy. Pads are plenty comfy tho.

Presentation

Elegant. Perfect can to drop the needle on them records, and smoke a cigar...

Price

Dunno. PM LFF.

Overall

Kicks ass. Not poo. Oh Mie Gawd.

Measurements

Looks excellent. Is that constant 2dB difference between the channels an artifact of your measurement or actual imbalance?

Dunno for certain, but I don't think I heard it.
