Hey Marco! What do you think of them?

How do you compare the NDH 30's to the MM 500's using some EQ correction? A a HD600 user using Sound ID would I gain anything?

so cool how far youve come! MENTIONing the 4,500 dollar headphones you reviewed recently

An expensive winner sold only in Japan and exported with some hurdles with a proxy shipping service is the Sony MDR M1ST with Yaxi pads also made by a Japanese company. This headphone can do balanced but the drivers can not reproduce the same frequencies for some reason but staying single ended and burning in the headphone for 30 hours under daily use makes these king of fun and audiophile listening. Wide soundstage, best timbre I have ever heard (1990 returned, HD598, HD25, Beyerd. Custom Studio sold, M50x sold, NDH20, Koss KPH30i and a few more since 2016). The detail is so nice and bass literally can be so neutral in colour so that the M1ST shine when unique songs play. Separation and dynamics are high (volume range in games and music, yet still low enough to do anything with these).

Sanjay, I own the NDH30 and love them for their even tonal balance. Midrange is just right. I'd be fone with a bit more treble but I don't crave it. My problem is the assymetrical positioning of a relatively small driver. To get the sound i like I have to push the headphones all the way back so the front of my ear touches the front of the earpad. Do the 1990s have a tonality that is relatively balanced. In other words, I do not like recessed mids, boomy bass, exagerated lower midrange etc. Do the 1990s compare tonaly to the ndh30s?

Some users have commented there is a valley in the 700-3000hz midrange but others say it is very depending on headphone position, if it slips or you move it on your head, the sound changes drastically. Have you found that? Thanks

i dont know what to choose 1990s or neuman ndh 30 for vocal mix please help

I just need an upgrade from my Sony MDR 7506. I'm thinking the Neumann 20s will probably do?

Thanks for a really helpful, balanced review. I love Neumann mics but am a solid Beyerdynamic headphone user in the studio, and I have been struggling to know whether to upgrade from Beyer's DT880s to their DT1990 pro or the Neuman NDH30, the latter being significantly more expensive. Your section on why a viewer uses headphones in a studio is very useful indeed. It sounds to me from what you say that the Beyers are more analytical for mixing and that sounds like me. I also worry about the Sennheiser link to Neumann, irrespective of how well built people say the NDH 30s are. Sennheiser in my experience just are not built to take the rigours of a studio as are teh Beyers (again in my own personal experience) and require spares sooner rather than later. If only there were places one could audition headphones these days before buying!

Tighter bass on the Neumanns in my opinion (with my ears)

Definitely interested in checking these out. I've tried out a fair few headphones for mixing and tracking over the years and my favourites are actually some of the less expensive ones. For tracking I love the old classics..Sony MDR 7506 and for mixing AKG K701. Both are super comfortable to wear for long sessions and what I love about the AKG's is that not only are they lightweight and inexpensive but they're really flat and don't colour the sound. I've found that if I mix on them it translates really well to the sound I hear on my speakers. As always, it's down to personal choice but that's what works for me.

Wider sound stage, and mid range clarity are my biggest needs. I ordered NDH 30's a few days ago, Im looking forward to hear how they can help me level up on mix/masters

For me. Bass is more important with headphones. As “wide” as they can be they wont rival monitors. HOWEVER. In an untreated room, such as my own, it’s crucial to have good reference headphones and having a good bass is more important as “width” is kinda hard to loose with monitors, its really reliant on your placements etc. I mainly use my headphones for referencing and or producing at late/early hours. Or if I’m enjoying some synthesisers outside the studio!!

@rainbowkittycat627

Жыл бұрын

I see what you mean, and I think good bass is important, but I think we have to define what we mean by good bass. For me, good bass is having a low subass, and having a clean tight bass response. For example, my grado sr80es are don’t have a lot of bass, but they have very crisp bass. Compared to something like the raycons, which have sooo much bass it’s overpowering, but none of it is good. And for me, having a good soundstage and detailing for headphones is as important if not more important than base, because headphones will generally always be more detailed then studio monitors. Studio monitors will always have less color in a sound treated room, which is why they are recommended in a studio environment, but they generally have less detail than a similar class of headphones. (Not to mention, headphones are just cheaper than speakers in general)

Been mixing and engineering my vocals on 770s for awhile now. I have a low register voice and im finding it really hard to mix my vocals properly with the 770s because the lack of bass plus the really harsh higher frequencies. Does anyone know if the NDH 30s would be a huge difference versus the 770s for my situation? I feel like my first mistake was not realizing that its better to MIX with open back, up until now ive been recording and mixing on the 770s, but if I get the NDH 30s it'd be mixing on those and only recording on the 770s. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Sanjay.. awesome review. Are you using a headphone amp? Or from your audio interface?

Would you say NDH would deliver better mix results than Beyerdynamics on the overall mix? I had DT 1990 and some say they might be too analytical for overall mix. But for spotting things they excell.

I spent all day listening to studio headphones like Neumann NDH 20, Beyerdynamics DT 770 Pro, 880,990, Sony MDR750B, Audio Technica M 50x, and M30x using a headphone amp in Sydney's one of the biggest audio gear shops. NDH 20 sounds flat and muddy with no precise sound separation, and bearly can hear the highs or treble. Mids sound ok but not superb and didn't impress me with the sound stage. However, the built quality is outstanding though I felt it's heavier over my head. The ultimate champion is Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro sounds bang for the buck with exceptional sound separation with superbly well-balanced low, mid and high. Eventually, I bought a DT770 32ohm and returned it due to a lack of comfort using the leather ear pads, making my ears hot after a couple of minutes. Otherwise, this is stunning gear even for listening regular music. If I have to choose something for mids, Sony MDR750B can come to the top of the list, but it doesn't appeal to me for an overall listening experience.

Hi Sanjay! Thank you for considering my request so quickly, it is really much appreciated! I haven't clicked on the "Buy" button yet, but your objective and complete review definitely helps me to see more clearly! Now my answers to your questions: - What headphones am I using today? AKG K702 - How much are you willing to spend on high quality headphones? To be honest, I thought that the price of my AKG headphones was already the limit. However, as I unfortunately don't have access to an acoustically treated room for my productions, I can only work on headphones... sometimes for whole days of "fine-tuning". So I'm looking for headphones that can at best reproduce the conditions of working with a pair of speakers, offer a mix that translates very well, that help solve problems with ease and certainty, that are robust and have a maximum of comfort. If they check all boxes, then spending 600€ could be an option. This is a large amount of money for sure, but compared to a good pair of speakers and the price of a room acoustic treatment, it remains reasonable. - Why do you use headphones? Mostly mixing

The hd650 are superb to listen to music you are right but thats it i ll let ya know end of the month when the ndh30 is back in stock for sure.

@@AdrianRC991 Ndh30 back in stock here in europe just ordered it, will let you know, as much i as i love shure mics i never really liked shure headphones. I used to have beyer dt880 and dt770 but i always found beyer sound signature too bright for me in the top end. I agree with you with the slate one, if it would have cost maybe 290 euros i would have give it a try but too expensive for that cheap build quality.

I am in love with my 1990s, I can’t see any other open-backs in that price range swaying me, I love the sound stage, like you said, the clarity and width is just great.

@@MusicMakingEnglishManif I enjoy the flatness of my hd650s, do you think I would enjoy the NDH30? I want something similar to 650, but with a wider soundstage and more comfort. I often feel claustrophobic in my 650s after a long day of mixing. I do post audio for tv. I also use SoundID for calibration.

Use Ultimate Ears Reference Remastered custom IEM's since I mix a lot of live broadcast in the same room as well so I need the isolation. Love them and haven't turned back when it comes to headphones. In the studio, do all the heavy eq and critical mixing work on my IEM's and use my studio monitors to do final check of the stereo field. Owned the NDH 20's for a while before I got those and I really enjoyed my experience with those too.

@@g.o.9513 For most things, yes. Especially in situations where I need isolation from my environment, go for the IEM's. Use the NDH20'S mainly for tracking with other people now.

I have the Sony MDR-756 that I use for initial tracking and rough mixing and the Beyerdynamic DT990 (OG, 250Ω) for final mixing and mastering. I do not have monitors nor do I have a treated room for that setup. However, I use the car test and have a couple of tools to help me “fill in the gaps” as far as listening goes. So far, everything has served me well. To answer the question: I favour soundstage more than bass and, speaking of bass, I like to be as neutral as I can … knowing that headphones have their own definitions of neutrality 😁

I had the Neumann NDH 20. I sold them for Sennheiser HD 650's. I like working on the Sennheiser's better over all I guess i like open backs more than i thought i did. I loved the Neumann NDH 20's. The build quality is the best. The Build quality of the Sennheiser HD 650 is a joke but i still love the sound. I would love to Pick up the NDH 30 I bet they are what i was missing with the HD 20s. I just felt that the mids tired me out. I was like man if they only had a open back version this would be the best head phone ever. I can only bet the NDH 30 are what i was missing and more.

Yes the Beyerdynamic open back range sound excellent the only issue i found in using them is the reliability. The closed back 770 is still good. However the 990s and the 1990s tend to have blown drivers within 5-6 months of use. The frequent trips to a service centre is tedious,expensive and problematic especially when they are your primary headphones. The Neumans maybe a little bit lacking but as you said the build quality is immaculate so the little lack can be compensated by getting used to the headphones itself.
