So glad you said this Z. I thought something was wrong with me because I’m liking these more than my Atriums. The comments about the drama and impact are spot on, they are so fun to listen to, and I listen mostly to classical! Listen to the Ravel concerto for the left hand, the bass notes at the beginning…rumbling and resonating forever. These are AWESOME. No hyperbole in this review, they really are lightning in a bottle.

@admiralnorman6 ай бұрын
If memory serves, the Bokeh were being tuned at the same time that Amir from ASR was dumping on Zach for tuning to preference and not to measurements. So perhaps the "eff you" tuning was directed at someone....

I own the Bokeh. I enjoy them, but I wish the Sub-bass was better. I am amazed that someone who started by modifying headphones and selling pads could so poorly design a pad-to-earcup interface on his own headphones. Pad rolling the Bokehs is genuinely one of the most painful experiences in my Audiophile journey.

I particularly appreciated your take that these are good for OTG and also scale on desktop gears like speaker amps (that’s my sauce, man).

Questionable. I can easily hear sounds from the outside wearing the JT1 and I can hear sound leak out when someone else is wearing them. They're dampened for sure but not true closed back headphones like the Bokeh. The only thing between the driver and the outside grill is a thick piece of fleece (JT1).
