Audio engineer here, i use sennheiser HD560S, and KZ AM16. The sennheiser are more neutral and have a really flat frequency response, while the KZs are more V shaped with a fuck ton of bass.
They are good to go as they are for any kind of use including gaming, unless you like some sound signature in particular, they are very neutral. Give it a day or two for your ears to get used to them if needed.
neutral bright or mild v-shape ig
found the lcd 2's and worn hd600s boring, hd800 was interesting but too bright. liked 560s, ed xs, arya and sus though
currently running an eq'd ed xs, plan to eventually upgrade to the arya stealth/organic
560S has NO bass. This is a hard one to recommend. If its competitive 560S is king in that price range. If its immersion than the FT1 is a much better buy. Especially since op prefers closed back.
False.
I can already tell you dont actually game .
There is competitive gaming . In which case you DON'T want any bass. Footsteps and directional tonality is king.
For IMMERSION. Making a situation FEEL REAL and ACCURATE then you NEED GOOD BASS. 560S wont give you that thump for explosions and gun shots and car accidents. I should know i own the set. You can try to eq but it wont thump hard enough before you get bad extortion.
This is why I like to be as descriptive as possible.
I clearly already stated that. If its competitive. Than no bass isn't a problem . It actually benefits you.
You keep regurgitating competitive like I already haven't mentioned it.
The problem is immersion. Thats where the 560S fall apart. This is a fact. Bass roll off sounds like shit if you want realistic sounds like explosions m gun shots. Fucking dinosaur footsteps. Even on forza. The damn transmission gear changes sound like ass on the 560S lol. You NEED good ACCURATE bass for IMMERSION.
If op wants competitive only then yeah. 560S is king in that price bracket.
Hmmm this is hard. You either get bass or no bass in that price bracket.
560S for footsteps steps
Ft1 for immersion gaming.
If eq is an option than the FT1 is a better buy. And lower the bass. I've tried eq the 560S and it just doesnt give you that accurate deep bass you want from explosions and gun shots. Explosions fall flat. Car accidents sound like you're in a can lol.
