Extensive headphone review

[Oxgirl36]

I really wanted more info when I bought my Deus about which headphones to chose between the WS4 and 5s. I realise now, by getting the WS5s I have really limited my future headphone choices. The WS5s are rather warm, great in winter but not so good in summer! But also they slip forward and ruin my hairdo

Came across this video. It's a test of sound and comfort in the studio but will be very useful for anyone considering what headphones to get when first buying the Deus or as a replacement/ extra set later.

As well as the WS4 and 5s it includes deteknix, ghost, gray, central sound, Vance headphones and Apple and Samsung buds.

Hope it's useful...

I use the WS-4 and find that they are excellent for audio response, comfort and weight.

Oddly enough, there's a thread running with regards to headphones.

Over-ear 'phones are too hot April onwards

Indeed they are! Found that out last week and it was only 18c - what will they be like by July??? sw; will be testing the control with buds soon to see if I can cope with wires again. At least they won't be attached to the detector

That's the beauty of the control unit, you can pop it into a chest pocket etc and coil the wire to the correct length
Of course you can use accessories such as the arm band etc.

I have got a wired clip that goes onto the headphone remote. That way I can plug in any headphones I like. I tend to go for those with a better bass response, that way the low iron tones are there but less audible. The higher tones ring through and the Deus 'whisper' tones can be heard well. I have Sony in ears for the normal day to day, however I also take along close headphones for when it is windy, very useful. I have definitely seen a difference in my find rate since dropping the back phones supplied.
