Do you mix using planar magnetic headphones? If so, what differences did you notice over your previous pair?

Great review, Sara. But in fact I wouldn't call 350€ "cheap" or budget ;-) . It is quiet a lot of money for just headphones, in my personal opinion. I use AKG headphones for decades, and this are "cheap" compared to these Verums they are really budget. In the end I can use them confidently, cause I know them for so long. No need for software correction or something like that. I believe your brain is the best "room corrector" you could ever get... but you have to train it 🙂

[kimberlyashburn]

out of context for this video but i was wondering what mixing software that you are using. thanks

It would be a shame if it is real leather on the ear-pads :(

There has to be a time when frequency response by itself be considered inadequate information for the assessment of the quality of a sound reproduction system. Waterfall graphs, and transient response are also VERY important because they show how the vibrating part of the device is able to handle its own vibration. If it can not then this means that it produces sound AFTER the signal actually has stopped "ordering" it - the result can be flabby reproduction of sound and loss of clarity and all this while the ferquency response could be absolutely flat.

Bass frequencies are harder to manage because they require very large movements and these are the ones that are hard to control. It's like a car's suspension - the large bumps are the ones that create the "floating" feeling while driving, in inadequately suspended cars.

Frequency response would be enough if music was only constant frequencies playing at a fairnly constant volume throughout - but music is a widely dynamic projection of waves with varying frequencies AND dynamics.

Given the very light construction of the membrane in planar magnetic headphones, in theory they should be very promising in this regard.

Hey Sara, thank you for this review. Ah ah!Yes these headphones look gigantic on you and show you mean business :-). As for the sound quality I couldn't agree more, no compromise there. I have had Verum 1 for a couple years now and mix on them on an almost daily basis on top of my monitors. What I really like about them other than their pristine sound quality is the sense of space and depth they give you which is quite rare for headphones. They are good to place instruments in the stereo field. I like to combine them with the Ultrasone Pro 900 to check different aspect of the mix (harshness/bottom end). One thing people need to be aware though when purchasing them is that they must not be in a hurry, expect several months you receive them. Also I had some issues with the stereo cable which was not as sturdy as it could be, Igor sent me a replacement one but same issue again so just purchased one and everything good now. I know the Verum 2 kickstarter was very successful and that doesn't surprise me. I enjoy your channel.

I see you've used VSX, Sara. I'm a fan but haven't used planar magnetic headphones so don't really know how they compare. I have Sound ID as well, but I think the benefit of the VSX the emulation of the crossover of in room speakers.

I haven't tried mixing in planars but these look interesting especially for the price. I've been using Sienna Rooms with headphones for a second and third opinion along with my monitors. The princess Leia thing cracked me up!

[shaunmichaels]

Thankyou so much for this review, I'm spending a lot of late nights in my home studio and was looking for something with clarity not having to use my monitors as my neighbours would not be happy ...thanks again 🤘

[Joey-rpvg]

Thanks very much for the review Sarah. Cheers and always a joy to watch your videos

[garlandpoolfredpool]

Hi there Sara! Do you mind telling me what lens you are using to get that nice bokeh behind you?

The Verum1 is great. Just got a set of the Verum 2 ordered via kickstarted.

I've been watching for a year or so but shall stop now because you're flogging headphones and encouraging headphone mixing by doing so.
