What do you mean mate I can totally hear when the noise floor is at -93 or -96 dB, huge difference in music I tell you, really pays off ruining your headphones with mods because now the plankton travels through two cables
/hpg/ - Headphone General
There is no difference to appreciate, unfortunately. There's no need to shill for balanced, just enjoy your headphones.
Wait, HD58X has bass?
There's a BIG following...
3dB is, technically, double the signal strength. Look it up:
The more you defend your headphones on /hpg/ the better they will sound. Everyone knows the spergfests at /hpg/ do nothing but further entrench either side in their original opinion. In reality, this is a mutually beneficial relationship because as you get more emotionally invested in your headphones, the placebo effect and confirmation bias kicks into high gear letting you enjoy your headphones more. Therefore, I prescribe every poster on /hpg/ an hour per day of zealously shilling their headphone of choice.
Buy STAX.
A 3dB difference is, practically, absolutely inaudible when most devices have over a 100 dB SNR.
Might as well buy something that has a flat frequency response up to 100 kHz. Technically five times the range, in the real world completely useless and pointless.
My headphones defend themselves
