Taking room acoustics out of the equation and use of crossover-less headphones/earbuds, along with eliminating certain requirements such as transformer and capacitors, translates to more coherent, cleaner, less distorted sound. This is especially true for portable players such as that used by your humble narrator inasmuch as House AC power is eliminated from the equation along with attendant power cords, fuses and interconnects in one swell foop.
Cannot find perfect sound
I've been listening to supposedly some of the finest speakers that currently exist. These include b&w 800 Series, revel high end, vivid audio, Psi audio and kef blades.
None except the kef blades satisfied my high level standards.
When I play my reference tracks on cheap earbuds I hear timing accuracy that is missing on all the above speakers. Only the kef blades came closest to what I hear from cheap earbuds.
Explanations please?
I really suspect that none of these high end speakers are accurately reproducing the sound on my CDs despite all the marketing claims about accuracy and high quality sound.
What could there possibly be that my cheap earbuds can do that eludes these super high end speakers?
I'm not so eager anymore to spend any money until I have a good explanation.

"None except the kef blades satisfied my high level standards." "Only the kef blades came closest to what I hear from cheap earbuds." "What could there possibly be that my cheap earbuds can do that eludes these super high end speakers?" "I never said earbuds sound better." No wonder that mindlessminion got confused. |
@kenjit The earbuds is full range, crossoverless design small speakers is
going direct to you ears . The Majority high end loudspeakers is 3 way and get complicated crossover with a lot a capacitors and induction coil.This is answer for you question for timing and etc. Another hand i cannot recommend you to looking for famous brand full range crossoverless design . Nobody can not make driver to cover 20-20000hz , is there are dreams which never come trow yet. We make speakers are based around wide-band drivers, which cover the range from about 100 Hz to 10 kHz, without crossovers in the critical range to which the ear is most sensitive. |
Here’s your answer, giant earbuds. eclipse td712zmk2 http://www.eclipse-td.com/uk/products/td712zmk2/index.html Well maybe, worth hearing in any case, preferably on the end of a system that doesn’t mess up the timing of what they’re fed. |
