Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.

"My room settings are now so good that all my 7 headphones are not on the level of the room on any count..."

Time to buy better headphones?

Time to buy better headphones?

I owned 2 stax and very good headphones...

But those who could beat my 2 listening positions in my  room on some count like Stax Omega, or RAAL SR1  for example or some others,are way too costly for me...

And at the end a good room has the advantage to be without anything around my head limiting my movement for sure....more practical and easy....

I begin with headphones, 7 years ago, thinking it was the best solution if someone dont have the money for a very good speakers gear...

I was wrong, acoustic among other things is the key, not money itself necessarily...

My best to you glupson....

Apologies mahgister, but I couldn’t resist - just a light hearted (bad?) joke made with benevolent intentions - hope you don’t take it the wrong way 😉

No need to apologize...

You make me laugh...

For 2 reasons, the first is it is a good joke...

But i laugh more because it was true, i modified all my headphones with success... My journey to good sound begins with them...

 I am "nut" with or without headphone.... For all my friends only tough... And you are a friend....

 Thank for the smile.....

You may be able to get away without acoustical treatment in a living room where there is unorganized clutter, but in a dedicated room where you're dealing with parallel walls, sharp corners, flutter echos, bass bump, etc. room treatment is a must. It's likely that most living room will sound better than an untreated dedicated room but once you have the dedicated room treated properly, the sound is beyond anything you've achieved in the past.

I once saw the DIY PVC pipes in a room and thought there's no way it does anything, I guess it's time to look into what it does. You don't know what you don't know until you know.
