beyerdynamic Amiron home high-end stereo headphone

• The Amiron sounds just like the DT880 except for its boomy, bass heavy low end. It is not a good upgrade. Its low end spectral balance is a reflection of its overly tuned up bass. And as would be expected, its bass detail is poor. The Amiron is good for those who like to wallow in bass. In the Amiron price range the Beyerdynamic DT1990 and the Beyerdynamic T70 with bass boosting ear cushions are a much better choice for good low end sound quality with good bass emphasis. The DT1990 has a faint coloration that is unpleasant. However, for EDM and badass genres of music it is a good choice. The T70\'s bass can be boosted by replacing its ear pads with the Beyerdynamic EDT 5P LB leather ear cushions. The EDT 5P LB cushions are very nice and will allow more room in the ear chambers. The T70 to a small degree has a seductive sound that bodes well with beautiful music.The EDT 5P LB cushions are not available at this time but can be substituted with the Beyerdynamic C-ONE (Custom One Pro) cushions. For more info go to my recent review \"T70 - One of the 3 Gems of the Headphone World\" - March 27/18.I found that the factory installed ear cushions on the Amiron when pulled off cannot be reinstalled in the way expected due to the lack of rigidity of their translucent lips. To reinstall them retract the ear cup/headband extensions and pull out an ear cushion mounting ring. Mount a cushion onto the mounting ring and snap the combination back in place. Before snapping back in place make sure the tab on the edge of the mounting ring is aligned with the slot on the circumference of the inner housing. Repeat.The below recommendations are carried over from my recent review \"DT1990 Pro - Ideal Where Beautiful Sound Is Not A Virtue\" - March 21/18.

Below are 4 common myths that prevail in the audiophile world.1) \"Width of soundstage\" is presented differently by different headphone models. False! Comments on \"width of soundstage\" are common in headphone reviews. But, headphones have no effect on soundstage width. It is the recording studio \"mix-down\" engineer who determines the left or right position of each musician of a performing group in the soundstage panorama. It is done electronically and can be widened by the home listener only with a stereo expander. Mix-down engineers have traditionally positioned musicians producing sound with predominantly high frequency content either far left or far right. Musicians producing sound with predominantly low frequency content are positioned in the center. It is done this way because because it sounds more natural due to the more directional nature of high frequencies versus low frequencies. (You can tell better from what direction high frequency sounds come from). Headphones that have a high frequency emphasis are going to sound like they have a wider soundstage because most of the recorded wide stereo content is high frequency. If reviewers availed themselves the use of tone controls they would discover that headphones do not alter soundstage width.2) Tone controls degrade sound quality. False! Audiophiles upon turning up the bass control on their esoteric sound systems have found that the mid-range sound becomes muddy or at least less detailed. This is due to their bass driver diaphragms producing their own sound in addition to the recorded sound being played back. This driver self generated sound has its own timbre and is called \"coloration\". It may be audible anywhere across the mid-range. More knowledgeable audiophiles may blame it on phase distortion (phase shift) which tone controls produce a lot of. However, phase distortion produced by tone controls is not discernible. In other words, neither they nor anyone else can hear it. Drivers produce Doppler distortion which is also not discernible.3) Headphone upgrade cables improve sound quality. False! Not possible. In some rare cases it is possible that the ultra low resistance that they introduce between the inductive element of a headphone and the output of a headphone amplifier with high negative feedback can induce oscillations.4) Headphones need to be \"broken-in\" to sound good. False! This predicament stems from audiophiles purchasing headphones that are not transparent enough. Headphone listeners mentally adapt to the sound of a new headphone by subconsciously masking its coloration and by subconsciously adjusting their frequency sensitivity to its spectral balance. Some audiophiles find it can take hundreds of hours to \"break-in\" a new pair of headphones. This is because they are not listening to them during \"break-in\". One can escape this predicament by buying high transparency headphones.The audiophile terms \"imaging\" and \"depth of soundstage\" are attributes of high transparency that go hand and hand to create the illusion or mental image of real musical instruments in space. I doubt that many audiophiles have ever actually experienced such a thing because they would need a sound system that could clearly reproduce studio acoustics. Only instruments separately recorded with microphones that include the studio acoustics can be imagined to be in space. Many instruments are electric and therefore are directly connected to a recording console. These instruments can be positioned from left to right but not in space. The Beyerdynamic T1 is the best headphone for this kind of illusionment.For $350 you can buy an integrated amplifier with tone controls and a headphone jack that will provide the best possible sound for any headphone. There are no compatibility issues when using an integrated amplifier with headphones. Whether high impedance or low impedance it does not matter.
• I went through a lengthy research process before I settled on the Amiron home. I wanted a good, solid pair of headphones for myself and I spent a lot of time lurking around /r/headphones and random audiophile forums soaking in as much information as I could. I knew I had to get open back headphones since I wanted a wide soundstage to enjoy my music in the privacy of my listening room. I didn\'t want to spend thousands of dollars for top of the line gear, I\'m not there yet (and this particular purchase was 25% off which was nice). I don\'t have a lot of hifi shops in my area so I had to go by what people were saying about their favorite headphones.My amateur audiophile journey took many twists, turns, comparing and contrasting. I considered getting a Sennheiser HD600 or HD650 but I already own a beat up pair of HD555\'s that I\'ve listened to for years, and I just wanted something different from the Sennheiser sound. I wanted headphones that can handle all kinds of music and have a near neutral frequency response leaning towards warm bass. I considered picking up a planar magnetic set of Hifiman headphones since I was curious about the planar magnetic sound, but the build quality and business practices of that brand turned me off. However, I got everything I wanted and more when I put on these Beyerdynamic cans.You can see and feel the fine tuned German engineering that went into these headphones. Beyerdynamic has been in the headphone business since the 1930\'s so they know what makes a quality headphone. Nothing about the build quality feels cheap, but it\'s light and easy on the ears. I have a larger than average head and the micro-suede pads disappear when I\'m deep into my music collection. The clamp in the headband is right in the goldilocks zone of being firm so as not to fall off, yet comfy to wear.When Beyerdynamic says these headphones are meant for critical listening, they are not kidding. When plugging straight into an output jack of a device of your choosing, you can hear through these just fine. They do well for listening to podcasts or watching Netflix. But these cans really shine when paired with a headphone amp. I have mine plugged into an Objective2 amp and the sound is just. So. Freaken. Full. I\'ve had my mind blown and chills down my spine from hearing my favorite tunes again.People say the Beyerdynamic sound is harsh in the treble and can be painful for long listening sessions. I learned this model is the successor to the T90. Supposedly it builds on the same tech and addresses some of the issues from previous models. I can listen to these headphones for hours, I haven\'t had any painful moments. The bass on the Amiron home is fast and punchy, nothing muddy sounding about it. The mids are full and lush and the highs are airy and crisp. All of these frequencies are presented with crystal clear imaging and it feels super intimate. When you put these on you are going to hear everything that artist intended and also things they didn\'t. If you\'ve got crap lossy MP3s on your harddrive, they\'ll sound like crappy MP3s with all their artifacting laid bare. These headphones are unforgiving, but if you\'re spending the cash to get them then mostly likely you\'ve already got a selection of quality recordings to listen to.Where these cans really sing is with analog vinyl sources. When the needle drops you hear absolutely everything, from the sound of the stylus tracing along the groove, to the noise floor of your equipment, to the noise floor of the studio the record was recorded in, to all the subtle noises and bits buried deep in the mix, to the stereophonic presentation of each instrument, all that imaging is there right in front of you like some sort of sonic onion. I\'m hearing things in records I\'ve listened to for years that I\'ve never heard before. The Amiron home is euphonic bliss with vinyl and reminds me why I got into the hobby in the first place.So I\'m thoroughly impressed with these cans, but I\'m biased since this is the largest leap in quality I\'ve ever made with a purchase of new headphones. I can tell these are going to last me a long time and they could be my endgame for a while. If you\'ve read this far then you probably want to know my nitpicks with the Amiron home, so here they are: the wire that connects these headphones to your output jack is made out of rubber so it tends to stick to itself and other surfaces. Beyerdynamic sells a cloth wire, but it\'s $100 and this pet peeve isn\'t worth that much money to me. My ears can get a little warm sometimes under the pads, but not the overheating kind of hot. The headphone joints only pivot up and down instead of side to side. Again, they feel so comfy I don\'t really care. The soundstage isn\'t super wide, so fans of classical and jazz may feel it leaves something to be desired. The sub bass rolls off quite a bit, so you won\'t quite feel that extra \"oomph\" from bass heavy tunes.If you have specialty listening habits you might be better served by other headphones. If you are a basshead and just want to feel the beat, you\'d be better off with a pair of Philips Fidelio X2. If you want true neutrality and save a little money, then try the Sennheiser HD600. If you need a wide soundstage to hear an entire orchestra or ensemble enveloping your sense of hearing, you would probably like the AKG K712 Pro. If you don\'t want anyone else in the room to hear what you\'re hearing, look elsewhere. However if you just want a good all around headphone that can accurately recreate a wide variety of music genres both analog and digital, you can\'t go wrong with these cans. Now if you\'ll excuse me I\'m going to put these cans back on, contemplate the nature of consumerism and enjoy some ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣＳ
• I tried to like them. This is my second pair of this headphones. The first one came used, like you could tell. And this second one I don\'t know but...the sound quality is very bad. The music sounds dull and lifeless. Boring. When trying them I was falling to sleep. That has never happened to me before. I\'m sorry but they sound bad and Boring.
• El Amiron suena muy suave y detallado, nada molesta ni siquiera los sonidos mas agudos en compracion al DT990pro, tiene buena construccion y buenos materiales, y ademas venia con un case para guardarlo, el cable es muy bueno no trasmite el ruido aunque venia algo enrulado.
