[cilic]

Hallo evrybody

I've got a little problem. In some songs I just hear te letter s to much (to long)
Does someone has a solution for my problem( music quality maybey ore something else)


Thanks

Some songs are just recorded that way. Unless all songs do it, there's not much you can do about it.

Too much A$$ ?

Sounds like you need to stop watching those "alternate lifestyle" workout videos.

isn't that something called sibilance?

Your speakers have a peak between 4 and 6 kHz, likely centered between 4 and 5 kHz. If you don't like it and I don't, your real solution is to go speaker shopping. This can be a tweeter problem, but is often a cone break up mode not notched out in the crossover.

Made by Monster Cable...

Then you have a very bad set of phones. Your solution is to get something decent from Sennheisser or Grado. Avoid junk, it keeps you poor. Monster is a junk brand among other things.

So you think it's the cable or you just hate beats

Your problem is clearly your headphones. They are the only unit that could be causing your problem. Now we know the source all is explained. Look into the ethics of Monster!

the beats arent really that bad. notably overpriced but the reality is in my experience that all headphones have really bad frequency response that needs EQ taming and shaping. buy them for their distortion / resolution and the shape the response after. i have yet to see many headphones with even +/- 3db from 200hz to 8khz that dont experience sharp falloff outsode that range. even some sennheisers barely have +/- 5db in that frequency range... so i think if you want headphones to sound right u gotta track down a frequency response graph and smooth it out (at least the major issues), and then apply a sharp parametric cut at the frequency where the headphone and your ear canal form a resonance by listening to frequency sweeps.

This is a very nice sounding set of phones.

And these Grado phones. I vote these a best buy. You need to spend at least $200 on a decent set of phones.

Interesting that you should recommend Grados. I was always under the impression that they were harsh and unbalanced, at least based on "what people say". Are those closed back and do they isolate sound well?

btw, the best headphones i've ever heard were a pair of AKG 702s but they too were open backed. I've yet to hear a truly good pair of closed back head phones to be honest but that's what I personally want. Right now I just run some heavily EQ'd audio technicas because they're very comfy and isolate well, but their response without EQ is a mess.

No open. Closed headphones are always bad news. Decent phones are open.

My friend has these, and they really are excellent.

that's my experience too. But unfortunately the only use I could have for headphones would be in the types of places where you want to isolate sound.

TLS Guy I am surprised you would recommend Grado headphones for someone suffering from sibilance. Grado would tend to bring out sibilance more than a lot of other headphones. The Grado line of headphones have that boosted upper midrange/treble that would tend to bring out sibilance and would be fatiguing after extending listening. No HF roll-off which many perceive to be natural sounding for HP's. I do agree that open headphones can be much more natural sounding than closed. A lot of closed headphones have that "boxy" sound and clamping issues on the head.

I gave the ones I recommended a quick listen, and they seemed good. My friends statements ate very good, with not a trace of sibilance or excess HF.

The Sennheisers may be the safer bet. I bought the ones I recommended for my son and they are excellent. He had been very pleased with them. I only use headphones to check a balance. My Sennheisers are older and still sound good, I used Sennheisers before that and wore them out on my recording gigs, so I'm only at my second pair of Sennheisers.
