Also used on a couple of NIN albums.
There's a SoS review here.
Well, it's quite an old piece.numberthirty wrote: Sun Oct 06, 2024 11:06 pm That thought had not crossed my mind in quite a long while...
I almost took that bait too until I looked at how many eq plugins I have. I went full sicko about 3 years ago with EQ's. Gotta draw the line. I love the analog obsessions Trident plug so this Pulsar thing looked cool.
Yeah, there's a couple of those Trident A plugin clones out there. I did some research on them before pulling the trigger, I liked the Poseidon the most. I like the way Pulsar designs plugins and adds some modernity to vintage interfaces.Kniferide wrote: Thu Oct 10, 2024 2:32 pmI almost took that bait too until I looked at how many eq plugins I have.

No idea if they’re any good, but I believe they’re open back and intended for studio reference, not breezy listening
Edit... I took the bait because I saw that I had $80 in credits so I got the mega cheapozoid discount. I'm going to outer space!

So I have a bunch of expensive headphones from big box music retailer blowouts, which sounds kind of crazy, but for the price of a pedal they all do reveal different things in their own way. I generally don’t wear them for very long at a stretch unless I’m tracking or fiddling with EQ, but I do use them a whole lot.
So I compared the K702 to a Sennheiser HD650 and Neumann NDH20, and yep, they all sound different!
But I was listening to a Van Dyke Parks interview I had going on a decent Bluetooth speaker. The AKGs were notable in how much they revealed the sound of the room he was in, which was a striking contrast - on the speaker, it just sounded like Van Dyke speaking in a non studio environment. .
I usually use Marquee Moon or whatever song I last worked on as a reference, but I’m going to start adding the unaccompanied human voice to that list, just because the differences can seem so stark. Bonus points that it’s not my voice so I don’t have to think about it more than I have to.
I don’t have much to say about the headphones, but they do sound pretty different from the other two, perhaps in between the HD650, which is the only one I would use for regular listening, and the NDH20, which are definitely for reference only. It wasn’t a great time for me to spend money on gear, but at $120 it feels like something I’d be happy to use.
I should probably get a decent headphone amp one day, but I’m happy using monitoring through my Midas board and this little ATI amp I got for very cheap.
