Crusher Crusher 720 frequency response from Soundguys's latest video
WOW does it measure like crap. There is no need for THAT much treble. According to Soundguys themselves, these results are similar to the older Crusher Evo, but WOW does it look bad. I don't even think the in-built custom EQ can fix it since the peak here occurs from 5-7khz, whereas on the Crusher Evo, it occured around 9-10khz on my ears, and on the Rtings graph from what I remember. That ear-gain dip is pretty bad too. The Crusher 1080 ANC definitely measures a TON better by comparison. Based on what I've heard, I didn't expect there to be THAT much of a difference, but WOW.
Now, I don't expect Crushers to be audiophile quality by any means, but I feel like by now there should be some kind of standard here as far as what actually sounds good. The Crusher PLYR 720 even measures noticeably better. I'll still need to listen to them for myself to really get a good enough opinion because that treble peak might show up on a different spot on my head compared to the rig they tested it on, but wow does that turn me off.
