LETSHUOER Astralis Vs AKG 955
Just played around with some EQ and managed to match my LETSHUOER Astralis and AKG EO-IG955 almost perfectly to the same target curve. But even with identical graphs, the Astralis absolutely destroys the AKG in actual sound quality! The insane bass detail and clean top-end come down to the hardware: the Astralis uses a massive 15.5mm planar magnetic driver that has much faster transient response and lower dynamic compression than the AKG's traditional dynamic driver. It really goes to show that a frequency response graph is only half the battle, and raw driver speed makes a massive difference in texture and clarity. These are an absolute hidden gem I haven't seen many people talking about them.
