A word of caution on this - I too have some tinnitus, and I asked Lauren Dragan (she does all of Wirecutter’s headphone reviews) on Twitter if she was going to review these headphones. She responded[1]: > I’ve tested a few pairs of those kinds of headphones already, actually. Even, Beyerdynamic, Nuraphone, MEE... if you have ok hearing, they aren’t worth it, and possibly problematic if you already have hearing damage. > I’d spoken to an audiologist who is an expert in noise induced hearing loss, and he said that with no AMA oversight, there is no way of knowing if the raised frequency ranges could cause more damage on top of existing. The accuracy of the tests and programs on these vary wildly. In other words, by boosting the volume of the ranges you’re having difficulty hearing, it might actually increase your hearing loss in those ranges. I’m not an audiologist, but that makes a lot of sense. I’m steering clear of this class of headphones until there’s more known about them.
