Beyer M55 with Pleiades K117 pre preamplifier cable and iPad

Sounding natural or correct to listener's brain.


The MD21 HL sounds bass and treble heavy by comparison.


An ordinary electret headset at 0in sounded 10 times more noisy and the iPad rec level volume had to be turned to 10. It sounded sad and bass heavy.


The M55 sounded happy even at the low sung key, (A flat minor compared to C minor which was originaly used for making up the song).
