but that's what i tried to explain to kanyewest (npub1f5d…8fz6)
namely that if you have enough power with modern DSP you can often just EQ the system into sounding decent ...
Bose 700 headphones have enough bass power and extension to EQ the bass ... you can't quite EQ their treble to satisfy somebody who has high frequency hearing of a teenager ... which i am afraid i no longer do even though i always use hearing protection ...
but most so-called "Audiophiles" are in their 60s and never used hearing protection and can't hear anything above 12 khz but still talk about how "detailed" ribbons are etc. because they extend to 40 khz and not merely 20 khz as regular tweeters ... LOL
anyway there is not much music content above 12 khz anyway as most microphones are designed to ignore the top octave as well ... the microphone knows you're a boomer !

quoting nevent1q…exfrwhen i say 30 decibels that's not an exaggeration ...
this curve takes these $400 headphones from sounding like $20 headphones to sounding like $100,000 speakers.
amazing that Bose being basically MIT couldn't do it themselves ... i guess having PHD doesn't prevent one from being fucking deaf ...
