Brexit, for once some facts.

A lot of video production engineers still swear by these:id not pay more than £300 for headphones and the 650s i have are now £430
think i paid about 250 for mine but was over ten years ago now and still the same drivers so built to last not like most of the cheap crap these days.
...which have been in production for many years.
Yes, that looks fiddly, but at least spares available for every part.does not look like you can change the cable easy tho so id watch out for that rolling round

id say there more for dj stuff but the reason i got the hd650s is because they was the only ones i could mix on and not bugger up the base as like my monitors i want a flat response as possible.
cant see any reason to change them as still work fine tho i still cant find a bloody refoam kit for my mid range drivers

Getting the refoaming wrong can ruin them, why not sell them on and get these with the sub unit and room sampling, which people keeping raving to me aboutcant see any reason to change them as still work fine tho i still cant find a bloody refoam kit for my mid range drivers

It's why I still haven't got around to refoaming my ancient Acoustic Research 38s pair...
dont want puny things like that lol but they got a few more years in them yet i have a kit that will fit but they wont fit back in the wave guides and i have dip switches on the back with way more adjustability.

What about that guy in France who said he could 3D print foam surrounds for you? Might be the only way?

cant print foam but said he would get in touch if they was coming to the uk again as needs to measure them as it is the only way to get it right and have a mold made but not heard anything since.
i can get a recone kit but there £300 each plus vat but wont give me the the manual on how to do it.

never seen any driver made like that but it is still a round peg in a round hole but the recone kit has its own basket that is screwed in to the bottom basket and if it has been glued could be a right pita if you need a tool to remove it.

Hi Harry,
Unfortunately we do not sell new foam surrounds. In fact we don't replace the foam surround but the whole cone assembly or in some cases the whole driver. And this has do be done by a qualified service technician because the procedure is difficult.

Looks to me, like it has it's own behind-driver air suspension, as opposed to (or as well as) using a cavity in the cabinet... get it wrong, and it won't be of studio use imho - flat response will be gone.cant print foam but said he would get in touch if they was coming to the uk again as needs to measure them as it is the only way to get it right and have a mold made but not heard anything since.

should of got some atc as there only 20 mins up the road but never seen a pro pair for sale and if doing stuff like dnb you need a sub.
but once you hear decent 3 way monitors there is no going back.
you can demo stuff in funky junk but there in london and where i got my genelcs from when town house studio went bust.

Have a look at the monitoring equipment list at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios.
Specifically this:
| 1 | Panasonic RX-FT530 |
As long as my melodies sound ok on that (or any recording that any studio outputs), I'm happy. If it sounds good on that piece of carp, it'll likely sound decent on the average equipment people use - it's why they have this at their studios. It's a dark art crafting music to sound wonderful on both high end and low end kit.

...and when I need mastering next, I'll shunt the project to my mate in Bali. Then test the result on the Panasonic...

that's why studios use Yamaha ns10s and most ppl think there used for mixing on but there as a **** monitor just to check the mix on.
at the collage they always kept blowing the tweeters as there book shelf speakers and not giant bass bins but the bass driver never blew.
these are ok if you have a amp to run them just dont pay to much.

Thatcher was out in 1990; Major & Blair perhaps more Starmers than Truss & Chunt (who wanted to privatize the NHS and want to reduce corporation tax more than truss long term). It's not a simple comparison: Truss, Kwarteng, even Chunt now are logical conclusion of Brexit; Thatcher of deregulation of financial services, both very destructive conservative policies, but brexit in its conclusion, now, more immediately damaging, deranged.
strictly FWIW (and id say not much) - i have theseAbout 300 is all I'd pay too - it isn't time to ditch the Senns just yet, but nonetheless I might grab a pair of these. Beyers at that price point do sound very good... you always see these whenever BBC Click feature any segment involving sound. Not as easy to repair, but at least Beyer haven't fscking sold out to a German hearing aid company and ceased making spare parts!
everyone say theyre great - but theyre frankly not good enough for work phone calls for me, and barely OK for watching TV while running in a gym - and not nearly as good as this
problem is how are you going to change the batt when it dies ? not that i have ever used any Bluetooth earphones as all sound crap to me tbh.
you can get these but must be moulded to ur earholes.

There will be a hearing loss epidemic among youngsters, well before their time. I stopped using buds some years ago because of hearing loss worries. The ear lobes have also evolved to soften sound, before it hits the eardrums. Over-ear headphones are healthiest imho. With good quality over-ear cans, it's possible to hear dialogue and notes clearly, even when the mids and highs are turned down... which is how I listen to most things, most of the time. And at a low volume, good quality cans will still excel at providing clarity.
Worry if tinnitus appears or worsens.

They're spit hot guitarists, and their covers of classic rock tracks are flawless. But like many musicians, they only make money gigging... and have only recently started recording their own material. I can't wait to hear what this Welsh engineer comes up with, on the Panasonic... He's been at it a year so far, hope he hasn't fled.
thats the thing with studios there just a money pit and why most of them went bust when i got the genelecs and when the pc/mac started to take over and then the 16 track recorders and samplers bit the dust.
imo if you got one of them massive modular moog synths it must be worth 50k or more.

tho you could start to build one as some modules are not that expensive so you can build it up over time.
