How did you A/B before you bought because you need your Fractal to hear it.I just A/B listened to as many headphones as I could and chose the one that most closely matched my monitor-listening experience. The one's I ultimately chose were not expensive.
I tried the entire AT line, and to me, the ATH-M40x sounded the most natural. I prefer it to even the most expensive of the line.I tried using my Bose QC35II with Axe-Fx III and the result was exactly as you described. These headphones sound really bad with Fractal. I got myself Mackie MP‑220 IEM's and I'm very happy with them. I tested as well Audio-Technica ATH-M50x and they worked pretty well, but I decided to go the IEM way.
Hi Guys,
Quick question I always play through my speakers but the wife has been complaining about it night. So, I plugged in my Bose headphones and was surprised at how different it sounded. It is very fizzy. Anyone use headphones and have any tricks.
YesIs your main output OUTPUT 1?
The headphones are stereo, the Space station is not. It's also not flat response...I'm experiencing the same thing. I've spent two weeks playing through my Spacestation MK II, and the Axe FX III sounds fantastic and three dimensional. Today for the first time I plugged in my Audio-Technica ATH-M50x phones and it seems to have way too much reverb. I guess I can go into globals and reduce the reverb amount, but either my Spacestation is a wonderful enhancer or my headphones suck.
EDIT: It also seems to have a noticeable latency, whereas I can't perceive any latency through the speaker.
I use Massdrop's Sennheiser HD 6xx, but the HD 58x are sonically as good, and $45 cheaper. These are damn good for the price.Hi Guys,

I think the reverb levels were so high it made it seem like latency. Bumping up my input and reducing reverb in the globals has it sounding better, but I realize I really need to get my reference monitors set up.The headphones are stereo, the Space station is not. It's also not flat response...
Headphones will make Reverb and Delay more apparent than playing through a speaker because there is no "room" ambience to absorb the effects.
If you dialed in presets on the Space station then they may not translate to other speakers or headphones.
There's no latency to the headphones unless you're not listening from the headphone jack of the Axe Fx. Are you plugging in somewhere else?
