An excellent headphone
I ordered a set of the emu teak’s back in late fall, and received them right after Christmas (a few days earlier than expected). I’ve had a few weeks with them now, and they’re every bit as good as I was expecting. My only other set of headphones are the fostex t60rp, which has a much different sound signature. I sometimes want more low end, but they make up for it in detail, speed and control. The emu teak seemed like the perfect compliment. At first the the bass on the teak felt a little bloated, and I didn’t get as much percussive impact from snares as I like. The bass has since mellowed, and I get plenty of detail. Surprisingly, I’ve heard things I didn’t with t60rp. The teak is much more non-fatiguing too. I can just listen and enjoy. The clamp is not overly strong, and it provides enough pressure while not being uncomfortable for long sessions. The cable is good. I would have preferred a removable one. Though I’m still fairly new to the headphone game, I think I’ve found my all-rounder. At least for a while. The teak sounds wonderful on most amps and DACs I’ve tried, but my favorite at the moment is the Schiit bifrost 2 into an xduoo ta-10r. I have a singxer sa-1, which pairs very well, but the ta-10r adds a little hybrid flavor to the midrange. The bifrost 2 is plenty resolving and it really comes through on the teak.
