    5.0 out of 5 stars Fone muito interessante! (Review de um guitarrista )
    Reviewed in Brazil on October 22, 2022
    Bem, estava "de olho" nesse fone há muito tempo e sempre ouvia falar muito bem dele, só que eu tenho um Akg k72 que me servia muito bem, até que eu comecei a ver review de plugins e perguntar "Por que meu som não sai igual ao dos vídeos de plugins de guitarra?"

    Bem, percebi que o AKG K72 tem médios mais proeminentes e agudos mais comportados, sempre nos equalizadores eu tirava aquela área dos 230~320 até que bastante e dava um "boost" nas frequências de 3k para cima. Resultado = Ficava um som bem fechado e agudo no final das contas, mas que de certa forma me agradava, mas tava longe de ficar muito bom.

    A primeira coisa que eu notei é que sem fazer o corte dos médios que citei acima, ele já vem com os médios mais controlados, a caixa da bateria soa melhor nas músicas e as vozes têm uma sonoridade mais interessante, não sei definir, ficam fechadas, mas ficam... vamos dizer... "concentradas".

    Agudos são bons, não tenho o que reclamar deles. Consegui perceber detalhes nas músicas que não sabia que existiam antes, por exemplo: trastejados em violões em músicas acústicas, reverbs de bateria e palhetadas em determinados instrumentos.

    Graves são bons, tenho a leve impressão que são graves com uma certa "compressão", mas são bons. Nada exagerado.

    Nos plugins eu tive que remodelar todo o meu som e reacostumar com a nova sonoridade, mas é um excelente fone para tocar guitarra. Vale muito a pena comprá-lo. Destacarei alguns pontos de forma sucinta:

    -Isolamento acústico muito bom as custas de conforto
    -Conchas trocáveis e facilmente acháveis pela internet
    -Muitos cabos com diferentes tipos de usabilidade
    -Sonoridade agradável para jogar.
    -Flexibilidade as conchas

    Sobre pontos negativos, não achei nenhum.
