With regard to positioning the earcups, many people seem to agree that a good seal of these closed-back headphones can much improve the bass response, but everyone seems to have a different story about how easy this is to do. I suggest you tighten the screws when you find the right adjustment, or the headstrap will gradually move up the slider. After hearing the clean bass from these headphones, I can never listen to the HD6XX phones - that I once liked a lot - just because of it.)Ĭlick to expand.The screws seem to arrive just a little loose, so that you can manually slide the headstrap to a location that sounds good, and so that the headstrap doesn't touch the Nitinol cage/wires overhead. (I had the opposite experience with my Senn HD6XX headphones, where EQing the weakish bass just increased the audible bass distortion. But of course that's a preference item, and with the low distortion bass, these headphones are easy to EQ to taste. I found that with the Closed X, I dialed back the low bass a couple of dB below Harman just because I thought it integrated the smooth FR from bottom to top a little better for acoustic sources, and the Harman curve is a little bit north of neutral on bass anyway. On EQ, you may already know this, but try the Oratory/Harman EQ or the ASR/Robbo9999 "Sample 2" EQ as a starting point. Practice this in one, careful motion two or three times, and you should find that you can connect fast each time from then on, pretty soon without even thinking about it. Then pinch back your forefinger and thumb so as to roll your grip back to the collar behind the silver collar and push the cable connector in until it clicks. grab the silver connector between thumb and forefinger, insert it gently into the collar on headphone and rotate it until the cable connector hits the headphone slot. Hint on connecting the Hirose connectors to the headphone fast, every time.
