New Head-Fier
Let me report on the experience of using io12 after changing the earpads in the past few weeks:
1) The earpads of io6 are very comfortable, but the back can't completely wrap the headphone cavity. The sound leaks, and the person sitting next to me will hear the sound of my headphones. This provides some "open back"-like hearing, but at the same time, the noise reduction ability is reduced. Moreover, the amount of low frequency has been reduced. This is in line with my expectations. I bought io6 earmuffs to weaken some low-frequency overtones of io12.
2) For long-term use, io6 earmuffs oppress the ears, which is not as comfortable as io12 earmuffs. But it is more convenient to carry after io6 earmuffs. I easily put the headphones into a Small cowhide bag and carry them with me.
3) Finally, I changed back to the original io12 earmuffs. I carefully judge my own use, which is more used indoors for a long time, or when walking outdoors. The more comfortable and Better sound insulation io12 earmuffs are more in line with my use. I adjust the low-frequency problem through eq.
Again, my preference for low frequency is different from everyone. Many people do not think that there are too many low frequency overtones of io12. Most people like the low frequency of io12 very much.
