  1. I don’t really look at specs other than to determine power requirements. 

     

    Only way to realize a good pair of headphones is to put them on and see if they work for you. Trial and error.

    Aside from being a very fine/disturbing documentary, the score is excellent in a 1950's soviet esque sci-fi b movie way.

     

    Listen to the whole thing, damn you!

     

    I'm saving these for grey autumnal days! This also sounds excellent. I will hoard it for the winter. 

  3. Kramer, or whatever the hell his name is, the guy who only writes orchestral spy scores had some of the most satisfying and punchy soundscapes in orchestral history in the last film.

     

    Budget Zimmer over here can’t get it up. Lesson learned: if you want Zimmer, hire Zimmer.

    His brother.

     

    Hopefully he doesn’t also listen to music on laptop speakers.

  4. I’m amazed at how flaccid this music sounds. It’s anemic by the standards of modern film music. There’s no satisfying bite or punch. The massive sound is rather mellow. No attack. Unsatisfying. 

     

    2/10. At least get a real modern composer if you want a real modern score. 

     

    The Savas brothers rates this higher than Powell’s Star Wars?!? It’s a good thing I’m not a visitor of their site.

    Has anyone tried the Jabra Elite 65t? I love my AirPods, but the open design lets in a lot of outside noise and they’re almost useless in loud environments unless I crank them to max. Looking for something in ear with some noise isolation.

     

    My wife uses the BeatsX at the gym. I haven’t tried them myself. But they have almost the convenience of the AirPods (use the same Apple W1 chip). 

  6. Blume Score: 100%

     

    Sublime.

     

    That is all, to say, really. Going off the beaten path to share music by one of my favorite artists, Ben Lukas Boysen (aka Hecq). If you want to be moved by music at some primordial level, this is it. Turn out the lights, put on your headphones, and press play. I imagine "Sleeper Beats Theme" is the music that plays as we all inevitably die.

    BTW, Steef, you can always go to your local Bax Music Shop if you want to compare between headphones. Maybe it will help to make up your mind. I went there a few days ago and discovered that the Beyerdynamic DT-880 Pro is also a worthy contender for those in need of a new pair of headphones.

    These are like the AKG K702 but with shrill highs. Cymbals will make your ears bleed. 

     

    I like them for for video games though.

    Extremely slight ringing in both ears when in complete silence. Not sure what that would be classified as. 

     

    Tough to tell. At least a little hearing damage. 

     

    Mine is just getting loud enough that it gets annoying if I wake up at 3:00 AM in the morning. Sounds like a TV is on. Incidentally, I can no longer hear a TV that's turned on...
