Hello Everybody, I hear music over the past 40 years various stereos - starting with Brown and ended at Burmester. Headphones - at least those who every now and then "landed" on my mind never really excited me. And Stax I have not even set up - for headphones, no matter how good he is - wanted and I want to spend a fortune and he will also still be transportable. Will say - I'm already been pretty heavy on the go. (From my Silberinnenverkablung Acapella Violon 1 I got there first held) To the point: I'm going to travel a lot now and in the near future, I have in a long time once again all sorts of headphones - etc. etc.- extensively consulted in the price range between 150 and 600 Euro Sennheiser. I had a player with Apple Lossless files here. I had the new Sennheiser and the B & W P5 particularly eye - or better to the ear. Anticipation - all other candidates actually slid pretty fast in`s offside - I do not want to take on the various reasons. The Sennheiser's OK - extensive listening I can with him but did not imagine good. That part sounds hard - if not inaccurate. The P5 tried something (if it were possible for him) would have exactly met my expectations. He does not bother the bean and simultaneously produces an accurate and highly resolved sound. But unfortunately, this experiment is about a kind of carpet - it just does not play freely enough on. The handle for P7 (which was due just as well recorded by the audio samples of many interested parties, such as the other headphones are also -the namely an absolute prerequisite for a hearing test !!!) was only seconds on my head - and everything was clear. Almost with the exactness of a electrostatic he reproduced the midrange and treble. The bass but folks who had the electrostatic nicht`s common. Abgrundtief and super-precision, he is always there when he has to be there. And even in the most powerful bass passages of the middle and high frequency range remains perfectly resolved. And all these beautiful characteristics and abilities give then just what I -and probably any music fans will ultimately - the headphones "disappears - remains pure music. Although I max. Wanted to spend 200 euros - the purchase was a done deal. I have now heard about 7 Studen net music of varying quality with the P7. Two things are clear: The first few hours with a virgin P7 you can almost give. It requires at least 5 hours, and to show go where the path is still going. (I did the test with the P7 rehearsed in my head - that you will never forget namely) The P7 is now connected to an amplifier and nobody listens - I let him still tires 12 hours - but would now bet that he also thereafter At length. Second is also now clear that MP3 low data rate are exposed mercilessly. So forget. Lossless formats like eg Apple Lossless, etc. of good shots, however, are from another world. Also decent shots with not too high a compression in the MP 3 format are good to listen. By the way - even if the most important point, of course, the sound quality is - the headset wears excellent. Also for hours with glasses. The build quality is incredibly good. He may be always with you through the folding mechanism in a small bag etc. eigenlich. (Also not unimportant) I highly recommend any potential buyer headphone has been thoroughly checked - Saturn, Media Markt etc.-at least large Märkte- have actually issued any current headphones for testing. Go at a time out in the little going on and take good starting material with. Have Fun!
