Wait, I googled this and found a pdf, not sure if the link will work or not:

https://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-r/opb/rep/R-REP-BS.2399-2017-PDF-E.pdf

Is this a joke?? Seems like a joke, like the scientific paper describing the process of getting antihistamines from meth

it's where those seemingly inappropriate adjectives describing sound come from! In areas where there aren't good words to describe something (like in sensory subjects that describe an experience and not hard science) a consensus lexicon is sometimes established to moor conversations in something that could approach a shared understanding. But in audio, it's... rough.

though at this point most audiophiles are just fumbling for words that'd sound good in a wine review

I guess like, the only people that should be using this are product engineers and designers because the average jerk isn't gonna understand what these mean so maybe just don't

arent some of the software-based 3D audio calibration things like on new bluetooth headphones really good at that

many use ML to try to calculate how your ear shape will affect it and adjust accordingly, but it's still mainly just "not dogshit most of the time"

We all knew this was the logical conclusion and yet I'm surprised to see it

Well done, I've lost the last shred of faith in humanity I had left

Pretty much, though the QC is hit or miss

Yeah I got told when I got my Sundaras last year that the pads would disintegrate within 6 months but 14 months later they're not even showing signs of wear. QC is always a lottery.

Oh, I was more referring to the random channel death, but the 2020 pads are much improved from the old ones

e. if it hasn't happened within a year you're probably fine fwiw

I tend to get ear infections easy so I tend toward speakers at home as well. It's a nice thing to have around but not everybody wants that

This thread thrilled, entertained, and provided years of wonderment. It's with a heavy heart we toss dirt on its pine box as we lower it into the archives.

I'd love for any and all of you to post your favourite hits in the new thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4042004
