Sennheiser 600 headphones are much better without their grills and without that foam stuff.

philipwu 173 posts 10-20-2016 6:00am i saw a report in the net years ago. it’s an independent test using a microphone placed at a normal listening position, using scientific software and recording equipment to access the difference with speakers grills on and off. The results clearly reflects there are roll off in certain parts of the frequencies spectrum, not just in the treble or bass. So it does depends on the listener preference whether he like grills on or off. Sounds good. Do you have a link for the report you refer to? It sounds as if the report would be quite convincing but without seeing the report itself color me skeptical. For example this report I’m linking to below appears to indicate that while there might be some measured differences they’re too small to explain the phenomenon. So perhaps the phenomenon is caused by something else other than aberrations the grills might produce. http://archimago.blogspot.com/2015/06/measurements-effect-of-speaker-grills.html Cheers |

Hi, Philip, one imagines test results can vary even for well intentioned careful testers. The test I linked to was also careful with easy to understand graphs and showed only very small differences that can easily be interpreted as inaudible. Please note I’m NOT suggesting there aren’t audible differences between grills on and grills off. It's simply a case of measuring the WRONG thing. |
