SJY Horizon Carbon Closed - To Hype or Not to Hype? - Honest Audiophile Impressions

A BIG thank you to Apos Audio for sending over the SJY Horizon Carbon Closed Back for review, much appreciated. Purchase: https://apos.audio/products/sjy-horiz... More Info: https://sjyaudio.com/products/horizon... Every know & then I understand the hype of a product but most of the time the hype doesn't match up for me. The SJY Horizon Carbon Closed is one of those hyped products. How does it compare to the Austrian Audio Hi-X60 & Audeze LCD-2 Closed? Chapters: 00:00 Intro/Specs/Accessories 02:30 Build/Comfort/Isolation 08:55 Source Pairing 11:55 Bass 13:45 Mids 14:50 Treble 16:08 Technical Abilities 19:40 vs Austrian Audio Hi-X60 21:10 vs Audeze LCD-2 Closed 22:40 Conclusion 23:51 Exit I am not a professional sound engineer, producer, musician, or vocalist, etc. I have not done any scientific research, measurements, or in-depth testing of any kind; just my own listening, comparing and internet reading/research. I have limited, real-life experience with recording, mixing and mastering gear. I have been involved since my teenage years with various churches as an amateur sound booth technician. Please take these thoughts, opinions and reasonings as just that, my honest audiophile thoughts, opinions and reasonings. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/B4LG7Kqp_...
