I can't hear a difference in that video. Maybe Youtube broke it?

You wont notice any difference until about a minute in where all the instruments come into play.

I put on my headphones to be sure. The audio quality seems uniform throughout to me. Which isn't to say it sounds good (it doesn't.)

The drums especially are distorted. Bass is non-existent.

Why do they even bother hiring a bassist if they don't anyone to hear him? They even paid the guy $1M to join the band!

.. whaaat ? the difference between the retail and GH3 parts here : https://youtu.be/6Nfqpr3ygSg?t=219 are enough that I can feel them just by the vibrations in my desk

What speakers / headphones are you using ?

Bose QuietComfort plugged into a Macbook Pro.

Switch off the active noise cancelation if you haven't.

It's not the best headset in town but it should be more than enough to hear the difference.

edit: the switch at 6:10 is very noticeable to me (shure se215) but tbh they both sounds bad, and it sounds just as bad on spotify so youtube's compression isn't the culprit

This is when I suspect the differences must be minuscule even without hearing the comparison. Bose headphones are way better (and pricier) than what most people use. The sound canceling alone should make significant differences evident.

Which model? I have the QC-20s since I spend a lot of time flying, and they win on raw noise cancellation, but I see a lot of people wearing the 35s.

My condolences.

Not even around 3:10?
