Why not act like a listener by taking your time to listen carefully?

The PreSonus HD9s are a priceless addition to your arsenal of audio tools. Although strong and articulate studio monitors will always have a place in the studio, more individuals are now opting for portable, personal listening options. You should evaluate your mixes on top-notch headphones in addition to your precisely calibrated studio monitors since listening preferences change. You may be sure that your mixes will sound good in a variety of listening environments if you use the HD9s.

You can mix better for longer thanks to the HD9’s blend of comfort, flexibility, solid construction, and acoustic isolation.

How do I equalise the sound such that both earpieces sound the same?

A loose wire on one of the earpieces may potentially be to blame after experiencing the same problem myself. I just had a friend of mine who is into electronics fix it for me. Since there is no shielding to hold the cable in place and could be pulled out, he had to repeat the process twice (hard pull, my case I tripped over the wire while on my head). He secured the cable inside of the “earpods” with a tiewrap so that it could not be removed. An excellent tip for increasing the longevity of headphones. Having used it since 2014, I still adore it.

Do these work well for mixing and mastering?

In a quiet room, I would say absolutely yes. Since they are semi-open, if loud enough, some background noises can be heard. No, they are not the BEST headphones for mixing and mastering. Monitors would ultimately be the best option.
How big are the drives for the HD9 model?
1.7 inches or 44 mm

How good is the HD9’s headphone microphone?

There is a microphone on the Presonus Eris HD9 professional headphones.

Is this cord removable?

At the left ear cup end of the headphones, the cable cannot be removed. Of course, the other end’s 1/4″ stereo plug makes it completely removable.

My head is especially big. Would these headphones feel comfortable?

When compared to the Beyer HD9, I was astounded at how light these feel.

What is the amount of noise cancellation?

0% to 100% (100% is the maximum)
These headphones are not noise-canceling ones. They are effective headphones that reduce outside noise by 30% to 60%. The Audio-Technica Quiet Point are noise-canceling headphones that I believe to be on par with, if not superior than, Bose if you’re seeking for one.

Is PreSonus HD9 a reliable mixing tool?

PreSonus HD9 3.2 review: 3.2. The PreSonus HD9s are an excellent pair of headphones for preventing any bleed during your tracking if you’re a recording artist on a tight budget. We advise you to look elsewhere if you want to utilize these for mixing, mastering, or casual listening.

Is PreSonus a nice music tool? Our Finding

The most potent DAW currently available, Studio One offers a wealth of capabilities for production, creativity, and even mastering. The pro version’s 64-bit engine and effects sound great, and there are many editing options available.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

In-ear device use under normal circumstances rarely results in issues. However, using earphones for an extended period of time, such if you wear them all day, may: compress the earwax, making it less fluid and more difficult for the body to properly eliminate. compress the earwax to the point that the body starts to inflame.

How do you properly use headphones?

With the right orientation in check, put on the in-ear headphones. Put the ear tip of either side of your head where it belongs. With the help of the other hand, gently pull your earlobe to make room for inserting the ear tip into your ear canal. Place the wire either in front of or behind you, depending on your inclination.

What volume is safe for headphones?

The World Health Organization (WHO) advises only 8 hours of headphone use at an intensity of 85 decibels (dB). However, the sound intensity of typical audio equipment ranges from 75 to 136 dB. When listening to audio, most listeners typically keep the volume between 75 dB and 105 dB.

Is it OK to wear headphones while sleeping?

Yes, it is absolutely possible to use headphones and get a decent night’s rest. In fact, falling asleep to your favorite music has a variety of advantages for your health, including: Relaxation – According to numerous studies, the proper music can cause your body to go into a state of relaxation.
