It wasn’t in reference to them. It was in reference to the arya, lcd-x and lcd-xc. All of which I have owned. All of which I feel are not as good as the hp-2 for my preferences.
Would you consider the Ananda in the same boat? Because I ordered specifically to test that theory. And I don’t hear anything more there than I do on the hp-2. Is the Ananda not good enough by your standards? What is? One of the headphones I didn’t like?
Try the Zen. Then we can have that conversation. And no, it’s not just about air moving. The bass on the Zen is ridiculously good both sonically and viscerally. And, yes, to me, it beats some of these full size headphones.
Yes, and so far, that has not been better. Will see if the bifrost changes that.
So, 1) xduoo ta-30 and micro signature which I liked with the arya, is not meaningful to you?
2) And lcd-x and xc are not high end enough for you? What’s your line? What headphones should I try?
Lastly, get your attitude off my thread. If you can’t do that, just scroll on by.
