Linsoul Thieaudio Ghost Custom 40mm Dynamic Driver Over-Ear Headphones Open-Back Reference Tuning with Detachable Cable for Audiophile Studio Musician

Product Information

And then there’s the clamp that embraced my large head with authority. Not overreaching the point of discomfort, I am always assured even with sudden head movements that the Ghost will stay on. Holding everything together is the new suspension-style headband which is a very different implementation from the Phantom. The adjustment mechanism bites with confidence and will not move accidentally. Launcestonian Ryzen 7000 / AM5 Memory guide (DDR5 6000+ stability, slow boots, memory training etc) ( 14) The Burson Conductor 3 Reference has taken utmost care to not overdevelop the boisterous side of the Ghost while maintaining the punch and presence of beats. Associated Gears​My evaluation is based on using the AC with the following gear, all of which I'm very familiar with:

Sennheiser doesn’t have ‘cermet’ in their HD560s. Instead, they introduced a new polymer-blend transducer which is geared to improve the reproduction of bass and treble while adhering to a natural and accurate reference sound. Design The Ghost offer a U shape to harman target tonality, where we have slight sub and mid bass boost that permit easily following of bass line, gentle upper mids boost that help to extract instrument and vocal presence and this magnificently delicate, sparkly and well extended treble that add most of excitment and magnify sens of airyness and openess.For my first impressions, I wore the Wraith for three hours with no major concerns regarding comfort to point out. And while the pads may seem dimensionally limited due to their shape, I’m glad to confirm they’re deep and wide enough for my average-sized ear. Precise and solid feeling are the two words that came to mind when I first saw and held the Wraith. Not the most striking headphone out there, it embodies its name by having an industrial yet ghost-like aura that remains out of the way. And this sure benefit the soundstage, which is tall, wide and deep, not Sennheiser HD820 wide and deep, but not far from it. Headroom is sure bigger than both my Hifiman HE400i and Sundara.

If you like deep and enveloping richness to come from drums or bass lines, then the HD560s may be a bit disappointing. Unlike the Ghost, Sennheiser went with tightness and accuracy letting the sub-bass naturally roll off with the mid-bass maintaining a less forward and punchy performance. Matching it with gears many times its price was also a fun one. Without realizing it, I’m a few hours into a session just enjoying the music. And that to me is a sign that the Ghost, given that I am not asking it to squeeze all the details and information out of a song, can be rewarding enough. The second is that the scores you see are compiled using different methods. The Ghost score is done directly by our reviewer as it is a 2023 review. The Rode is from the readers votes from the slider since it is a 2022 review. You notice this by the fact each score has a label underneath it stating either ‘Reader’s Score’ or ‘Award score’. With a working preconception that the 60Ω Ghost is a portable companion, I let the Chord Electronics Mojo 2 be the impartial judge. With a reasonable 600mW of power on tap, I still found myself pressing the glowing volume orb a little more than expected reaching just over the high gain threshold.I want to thank Kareena of Linsoul for the love and the Thieaudio Ghost Full-Size Headphone review sample. The midrange shows itself readily but transitions upwards from the upper midrange to the lower treble with recessed energy. This trait is probably what brought me to the conclusion I had with my initial impression. Timbre The more extended sub-bass and the optimum triangular listening position from the angled drivers in theory make the HD560s a closer mimic to loudspeaker setups. Singers will sound intimately close. And you’d think all the subtleties will be there, only, the Ghost is forgiving in this area. A mushy property disconnects lighter parts of a song such as breath and vibrato from the original quality of the vocals.

When it comes to value, ThieAudio Ghost really delivers an impactful blow in value, it is super well priced for the performance it has, it has superb dynamics, good resolution, and a fun sound that works well for pop, electronic and metal music, it is well made, and mostly comfortable. The build quality shows the price point, but it sounds good enough to be superb value. With the songs that I listened to, the vocals of the Wraith felt syrupy and non-irritating but missed the impact and rawness I expect when a brighter song comes along. In effect, it presents the upper midrange in a lenient manner that doesn’t feel hurried or forced. We chose to use ultra-light flat wire for our cable to enhance the punchy bassline. For audiophiles who are interested in upgrading cable with higher quality braided cable, the Tripowin Granvia and Tripowin Altura would be good choices. The innovative and ergonomically designed ear pads are crafted of high quality velvet cushions, an ultra-lightweight and ultra-comfortable material that makes for a comfortable wear. Its geometric inner membrane design ensures a perfect seal for those tight basslines, while permitting airflow so your ears don’t get too stuffy This applies for most countries. However, large items such as headphones and desktop DAC/AMPs (e.g. HarmonicDyne G200, MUSICIAN MDP-2, and etc.) are excluded. The award scores are only effective up until the end of each calendar year and are designed to be used for our end of year awards. After which we default to you, the reader, and what your score is for the item in question. Hence the differences.

Does Meze sell them? I sort of have mixed feelings in general about the build, some things I think are very well done while others seem to have not had as much effort put into them. The grilles are also plastic, with a zig zag pattern to them and a gold accent around them. These don’t look bad but are again a little cheap feeling. I like the EarMen DAC/Amp for its talent to allow the Ghost to sing without sounding dull. However, I’m finding that the pairing is not as accurate and spread out in managing imaging and placement for a busy live audience, meshing neighbors easier. One last thing, both headphones use breathable velour pads that can be replaced when they are worn or to simply change the sound preference. But it is the HD560s that becomes more comfortable since it is roomier thanks to the angled drivers tilting away from the ears and the wider pad opening. Performance Toole, F. (2017).
