A community for discussion around all topics related to headphones and personal audio.
I fully believe that resolution and detail are subjective to the user because unless that person has listened to many headphones/iems at all different price points. They are ignorant to what they don’t know.
Honestly one of the best parts of this hobby is having your ears opened! Scrambling back to great music and realize what you have been missing.
I spent weeks listening to albums when I jumped into the $500+ iem space. After only listening to >$200 Iems
Resolution is "in the middle".
Some of it is objective. For example if a headphone adds its own color or texture than that objectively decreases the resolution.
It is also subjective. Some people like micro detail, some like timbre richness and fidelity. Some people are fine hearing the nuances in the background, some want them in their face. ...
Generally some Sennheiser types are said to have good resolution while being dark [7xx, 650, 660S].
