are you looking an amir's graphs again
unique wind
lean grove
thats not 5db
unique wind
thats not 5db
molten lotus
you were looking at amir's graphs weren't you
unique wind
no
the 5db was pulled out of my ass
and that was the first graph i looked at just now
it's from techpowerup
molten lotus
you can't write techpowerup without amir
unique wind
?
molten lotus
thats what i thought
unique wind
buy both and tell me what u think
lean grove
its 1.4db difference at its worst
unique wind
so theyre even less different than i thought
molten lotus
that's just frequency response michael
unique wind
yes but if theyre using the exact same chassis and driver the only differences are the headband and frequency response
molten lotus
it isn't
the housing and tuning can make headphones entirely into different ones
technically too
not only tonally
unique wind
tuning is frequency response
lean grove
yes but if theyre using the exact same chassis and driver the only differences a...
they're not the same driver tho
unique wind
see this is what i want to know
what's actually different
instead of just someone's subjective analysis
molten lotus
I said I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same driver, he probably mentioned that
lean grove
buy some and open them up
you can tell if they're the same driver usually by looking at impedance
molten lotus
anyways
even if the driver is exact same
the sound can be different
both tonally and technically
unique wind
yes it can if they had different tunings but they dont really
but nils said they arent the same driver anyway
unique wind
yes it can if they had different tunings but they dont really
or different construction/dampening/etc
molten lotus
tuning means everything that changes the sound
which can also affect the technicalities
you could in theory create the same frequency response and have different technicalities
at least on a measurement rig
lean grove
well.
molten lotus
but yeah, measurement rigs are not perfect representations of what we hear
unique wind
are there ways to measure technicalities
molten lotus
no
well
its like dac and amps
its a correlation of many things
same way we can't make sense of dac amp sounds off of numbers, we can't of headphones either for the most part
unique wind
im in the party of there's no audible difference between quality dacs but i can hear differences between amps
molten lotus
they can have meaningful input as to what a headphone can be but it will not be reliable information regarding everything
lean grove
you can look at everything coming out of the headphone.
all of the data is observable.
but you can't really interpret all the data with 100% accuracy.
lean grove
thats not it
molten lotus
it is definitely a part of it
lean grove
that's a matter of accuracy.
unique wind
ear shape wouldnt affect technicalities
lean grove
yeah. which is never gonna let us have a perfect measurement rig.
unique wind
or other subjective factors
molten lotus
thing is
lean grove
the issue is that its hard to look at the data and say "yeah this will be really resolving"
molten lotus
even with incredible molds of people's heads and ear canals
we still don't have a good representation
lean grove
or "this has 10% better detail than the d8000"
molten lotus
so the measurement rigs are flawed
unique wind
theyre not flawed
molten lotus
outside of the ear shape argument
they are meant to measure what we hear, they don't
unique wind
so long as every headphone that is tested is tested on the same rig it's fine that we cant match everyone's ear shape
it's only used for comparing headphones anyway
molten lotus
issue is
unique wind
not for seeing how theyll sound on our unique ears
lean grove
so long as every headphone that is tested is tested on the same rig it's fine th...
that's the goal. all those measurebators on youtube are trying to do that
molten lotus
there are mechanisms that our body handles regarding how we hear things that aren't reflected in our body shape
unique wind
yeah but klaus it doesnt matter
unique wind
so long as every headphone is tested on the same rig that makes it completely fine to compare the headphones
molten lotus
we are born with alien ears like conpin and have a built in +20dB 10khz peak filter
unique wind
nah conpin has +50db subbass
molten lotus
our body literally autoeq's itself to neutral
our ears
to match what is defined as neutral by the body itself
but the issue is that is not perfect either
since the body is naturally flawed and varying
unique wind
thats not really how it works but yeah that does happen
it happens with visual stimuli as well
molten lotus
I don't know about visual stimuli
lean grove
molten lotus
and even between two headphones that have slightly differing angles in drivers or earpads can deliver the frequency response different to your ears
unique wind
yeah but the way your body bends the frequency response doesnt affect the headphone itself
molten lotus
what is frequency response for if it can't represent what you hear
unique wind
so measuring on one measurement rig that doesnt match everyones ears is fine
its just to compare not to give a perfect representation of how itll sound on your specific ears
molten lotus
if a slight angle makes a quarter of humanity hear things differently than a rig interprets it, what good is a rig
the quarter part is just a random number but you get my point
molten lotus
michael we have different ears, like all of us
what use is a measurement rig when you look at it like that
unique wind
its for comparison in a void
unique wind
youre being a bit of a nihilist but in the audio realm
all ears are different therefore all measurements are meaningless
molten lotus
but just take note that even things that measure really similar don't necessarily sound the same
unique wind
it's dramatic
but if all physical characteristics are identical then it would
angle, construction, pad
unique wind
i think you're a bit too deep into subjective realm
XS are undoubtedly better in general but theyre not a radically different headphone
molten lotus
are you comparing xs to anandas or other headphones below its price range
unique wind
to ananda stealth specifically
molten lotus
but again
unique wind
but the fact that XS uses a different headband absolutely will change the sound youre right on that
molten lotus
people prefer ananda stealth a lot over the xs
unique wind
because it changes how they seat on your ears
molten lotus
yeah
unique wind
this headband style seems like itd be more comfortable
and put less of a dent in your head
you have sundara so
do you like that headband style?
lean grove
it is more comfortable
unique wind
even if the headband didnt change the sound physically it could change the way you experience the headphone too
if one is a lot more comfortable and makes you happy youll find more enjoyment
even if they measure the same
lean grove
clamp changes sound, so headband will change sound.
unique wind
yeah i said that above
lean grove
if you have a breeched seal, thats headband and pads, it iwll change the sound
unique wind
i was just going even further
this headband looks like itd suck big time

thin kernel
I rock a pair of QC15 for gaming, got the qc35ii last year on sale and I'm happy as a pig in poop
they're not super... technical headphones? What I mean by this - if you put them up against, say, open-back Sennheisers, you're not going to hear all the detail and separation on the Bose that you would on the Sennys.
But they sound super musical, their tonality is great, meaning games and music sound fun, there's plenty of detail enough to get, like, FPS aiming (at all but the most extreme competitive level)... they're not "gaming headphones", they're not "audiophile headphones" they may not even be the best noise cancelling in the game anymore compared to the NC700 -- but the QC line represents this sweet middle-ground all-rounder of a headphone that last me a decade+ thanks to their relatively modular design (replaceable cables, pads, etc)

tender frost
The Sennheiser one lol
cinder flax
100% the Sennheisers. Honestly, with the Sennheisers you can probably even skip the dedicated Mic. I've got the predecessor to the PC37x (the Sennheiser/Epos GameOne) and found the mic to be perfectly adequate, if not better then a lot of cheapo mic sets you can get on Amazon...
keen swift
honestly I'm on edge, I feel like the astro is a safe bet, since I can make this purchase once, and from what I have heard the astro mic quality is far superior to the pc37x, and I hate having separate mic for my setup I hate it, mic quality is kida big deal for me
on the other hand if I go with the pc37x it saves me 126$

pretty alright for a headset mic
cinder flax
But yeah, as Klaus said, if you're getting a dedicated mic anyways, get a pair of proper headphones to pair. Headsets can be great if you're looking for an all-in-one solution, but when you don't need the mic anyways, you can get much better headphones for the same price or save a buck and get similar quality headphones for cheaper...

If you don't need all the extra power of the BTR5, you could also save a buck and go for the BTR3k also from Fiio. It's quite a bit less powerful on it's non-balanced 3.5mm output, but not that much less on it's balanced output, plus it supposedly has a longer battery life 🙂
Oh, and you could also get something like the Fiio UTWS3 or UTWS5, which basically turns your IEMs into TWS earbuds 👀
modern blaze

cinder flax
how bad are open backs, can I literally hear anything around me?
Outside noises are muffled ever so slightly, so it's not quite like not wearing anything, but you definitely still hear most of what's going on. Personally I think open-backs help for when you're talking, but I understand that it makes them very unpractical in loud environments...

yea its waaaaaaaaay too small of a device to get away with that

I really don't think you have thought this through very much because the q5k controls are not an issue whatsoever
Not to mention paramentrec EQ with auto EQ built in, and being drastically cheaper than btr5 I see 0 reason to buy a btr5
The fact it doesn't have a solid chance of bricking itself is just an extra bonus

Btr5k isn't much better.
Q5K always has options.

the btr5 comes stock with the same controls as every single inline earbud controller
qudelix seems like it makes sense for enthusiasts, but im never gonna recommend it to someone who doesnt know

Nah. The only thing that's an issue is using a different button for skip backwards.
Otherwise skip forward and pause are the exact same
And if you can't handle double tapping other side of a rocker then....
Maybe stick to dongles I guess
ocean pulsar
qudelix also seems to have 4x the power when balanced instead of the normal 2x
which seems like a bug?
because its exactly identical to dongle perf when se
1v at 32 ohms se 3.8 balanced
lean grove
It does 2 volts single ended and 4 volts balanced
ocean pulsar
not loaded according to measurements
i could not care in the slightest about vpp unloaded, if i need a bluetooth line out ill buy a non portable device
lean grove
Don't know what situation you're gonna be in where you need that much power but okay.
ocean pulsar
well if you dont need the power you can get a btr3k which is outright better in all but not having a screen and lower power
its actually half the height of the qudelix, to the point where i keep it in the coin pouch in my wallet
lean grove
Why stop there. You can keep going lower and lower.
ocean pulsar
lower doesnt get you much smaller
my outright favorite bt adapter is the one that came with my mh755s
i forget the name
lean grove
lower doesnt get you much smaller
Fiio ubtr
ocean pulsar
the ubtr is thicker, dont think it would fit in my coin pouch
ocean pulsar
the one that is built into my wallet
lean grove
Two coins?
lean grove
That'll get you a good hour and a half at most parking meters
You're the first person I've met to have to judge audio equipment by how well it fits in your wallet Carmon
ocean pulsar
the point is that its supposed to be portable
lean grove
It's not portable if it's not about the size of six coins
ocean pulsar
where do you keep your dongle?
cause the btr3k was an upgrade from dongle for me, so it had to fit in the same spot
lean grove
where do you keep your dongle?
That's a bit of a personal question
ocean pulsar
you arent required to answer 🤷
ocean pulsar
and mine do not
ocean pulsar
i also dont wish for pocket space to be taken up when its not in use
lean grove
That's what pockets are for Carmon. To put things when you're not using them.
ocean pulsar
the cheap khakis that dont have double pockets
(i just stood up and doublechecked lel)
ocean pulsar
That's what pockets are for Carmon. To put things when you're not using them.
yes but i already filled my pockets
keys and work phone on the left, wallet and phone on the right
then iems go in my shirt pocket
lean grove
How about that clip.
The one the q5k comes with built into that you have to buy for the btr5
I'm sure you can affix that to someplace inconspicuous on your person
ocean pulsar
the btr5 and 3k come with a clip, its just not built in to the device
ocean pulsar
must be nice to not have to do manual labor for your job :/
lean grove
I wear a lab coat.
So. Yeah not really pouring cement or installing windows
Is the clip on the btr5 bad or something
ocean pulsar
🤷 dunno never used it
ocean pulsar
the problem is just the whole it being outside of the protection of my garments
dry stratus
why does this thing look so god damn edgy?
ocean pulsar
oh no that reminds me i did clip the btr3 inside my pocket, but it would fly off whenever i pulled anything out of the pocket
i may actually be able to pull that off with the btr5
lean grove
why does this thing look so god damn edgy?
When are you getting one
lean grove
?
dry stratus
When are you getting one
no time to put towards stuff right now honestly, might move again in the upcoming year, lol
lean grove
***wait the clip is backwards on the qudelix***
It's not backwards you're backwards
ocean pulsar
the btr5 the clip is reversible so if you want to attach the clip on wrong its only an option, not forced on you
lean grove
What other direction would you want it
dry stratus
the best place to put it is inside of your underwear
ocean pulsar
so you clip the device on the inside of the pocket so the device is inside and the clip is outside, then the cable goes into the pocket where it can be coiled up and neat?
lean grove
No Carmon.
The cable goes outside the pocket
Otherwise the only person listening to music will be your butt
ocean pulsar
so your iem cables are exactly the distance from your pocket to your ears?
my torso is long and i dont have a single iem within 6 inches of that
most have at least 6 inches of slack that needs to stay in the pocket to not get caught on doors
dry stratus
or buy shorter cable
ocean pulsar
so why not have the port point into your pocket?
the btr3 was designed that way, and the 3k and 5 allow you to choose
lean grove
so why not have the port point into your pocket?
That sounds like an easy way to ruin the port and cable. Have it continuously smashed
I also have the ability to choose to drive into incoming traffic.

you hate bass tho
everything is gonna sound lifeless without bass
dry stratus
rumbling bass specifically
don't mind planar bass for example
still not boosted tho
unique wind
i don’t think driver type changes the point at which frequencies rumble
molten lotus
planar bass is just often linear
i think that's why you think that
linear or sub linear
unique wind
but most music is probably made with the fact that 99% of people use bass boosted headphones in mind
so it’s gonna sound boring with linear bass
dry stratus
dynamics usually just fuck it up whenever I hear it
molten lotus
so it’s gonna sound boring with linear bass
Nah not true
even if that were to be, there are other factors apart from bass that make music more lively
unique wind
i mean it’s subjective so there can’t be a true or false
dry stratus
basically would need something that can hide the compression ig
molten lotus
bass spl isn't the only factor that determines its quality

Anyone here know how to change the System Tray icons next to audio channels ?
dry stratus
speakers with headphone icon and headphones with speaker icon, lel
fading patrol
Changing them in Control Panel does not propagate here...

the icons you also cant change are in the new windows 10/11 menu when you click them... maybe I can edit in registry
This Icon specifically

who cares

some day you'll forget what headphones are
molten lotus
i’ll take obvious statements for $500

real solution here is to change the definition of speakers and headphones when I was a kid
anyone got a time machine
molten lotus
except for r70x, most of their items are generally subpar

ADX-5000 I liked at least
probably not within budget tho, and not worth it at their price anyway, especially with HD800 used costing like 1/4th

(compared to others living here ofc, don't think my written English would be all that good the moment you compare to native)
what a life of no real human connections from age 4-6 and only gaming does to your language development:
to be fair, your average local here pronounces extraordinary as "extra-ordinary"

molten lotus
880 is better than both.
thats not an option bro
quiet
or else i will have to take action
molten lotus
880 is better than both.
i have been confused how is the headset in the middle better
by that logic shouldn't dt770 be the worst option
lean grove
Higher number means better everyone knows that
lean grove
i have been confused how is the headset in the middle better
The 770 is closed back. The 990 is open back. The 880 is semi-open. That's why it's in the middle.
molten lotus
Higher number means better everyone knows that
im more from pc hardware then headphones so by my logic yes
lean grove
But it's a lot more neutral than both.
molten lotus
But it's a lot more neutral than both.
880 also best for gaming??
it images well
not sure whether dt770 or dt880 are better for gaming but it isn't something you should care about
lean grove
880 also best for gaming??
Gaming is an incredibly low bar. Anything decent enough will good for gaming.
molten lotus
Gaming is an incredibly low bar. Anything decent enough will good for gaming.
i mean anything works but not any headset projects distance of footsteps well atleast not my jbl 760nc that i like 90€

while I do think a headphone with better imaging can assist your gaming on a ver...
so just get what is cheaper?
No, get the dt880
dt770 is straight up bad
and dt990 is a direct downgrade from dt880
hmm i see
lean grove
880 sounds better
dry stratus
i have been confused how is the headset in the middle better
just beyer making 770 too closed and 990 too open
basically both have flaws bigger than the 880
maybe the newer beyer 700 is better but idk
molten lotus
just beyer making 770 too closed and 990 too open

i see
dry stratus
beyer isn't too great at making headphones honestly, they are just good at one or two things and sometimes they release something that has flaws small enough the good things about it make it worth it
in this case, DT880 for gaming, less so for music but still fine
just might be hard to listen to at times
beyerdynamic = tinnitus simulator
they release a lot of headphones that sound like hearing damage
rugged marlin
Hey why do i hear dt 770 pros are bad
molten lotus
for being bad
rugged marlin
Fair answer but why will my ears bleed
They cant be that bad if people recommend em so much
molten lotus
he was exaggerating the ear bleeding part but they have too much treble
it tires the fuck out of your ears
can even give you tinnitus in above average listening levels
rugged marlin
he was exaggerating the ear bleeding part but they have too much treble
No shit i know they wont bleed my ears
rugged marlin
can even give you tinnitus in above average listening levels
Already there
Aight what about the uhh
K371s
molten lotus
good headphone
not as durable as dt770 but very good for a closed back
id still say open backs cheaper or slightly expensive than it are better but for a closed back it is excellent
rugged marlin
id still say open backs cheaper or slightly expensive than it are better but for...
Worth like 150 bucks?
Thr k371s
molten lotus
yeah
rugged marlin
Thats the average price on ebay
molten lotus
consider k361 as well
k361 is k371 but with less sub bass
if you prefer neutral sound then k361 is better
if you prefer more funky and bassy then k371
rugged marlin
I mean i never had a decent pair of headphones
I plan to do some tech reviews, gaming and music listening so, i dont know
molten lotus
just grab k371
the odds are you wont like neutral if you aren't already a part of the hifi hobby
rugged marlin
Aight thanks for the advice.
dry stratus
They cant be that bad if people recommend em so much
I mean, they can
because the average person recommending them thinks loud and low res bass = good bass
which is objectively wrong
molten lotus
you are welcome
regarding what conpin said
audio reviews often say more about people's standards than they do of the items themselves
dry stratus
probs the one good thing?
dry stratus
they're alright
molten lotus
it will last a few years if you treat them nicely
rugged marlin
But are they like comfortable
molten lotus
they aren't built particularly sturdy

I get my new PC tomorrow and am now realizing I don’t own a microphone, any suggestions for a good balance between quality and price And something that does a good job of noise isolation

But are they like comfortable
that's subjective
rugged marlin
I know
molten lotus
different head shapes and all
dry stratus
depends, do you have elf ears or monkey ears?
rugged marlin
Yeah ape ears.
weak rapids
the Ethos is such a tempting mic tbh
rugged marlin
different head shapes and all
I mean like conventionally comfortable
Like if the cups and band are good
dry stratus
for me they are fine, but I have pretty flat and small ears
tfw IEMs XXS size is still too big
rugged marlin
Man tf
Well wait
Iems and headphones are different
K371s go on your ear not in
Or well around the ear
dry stratus
over
rugged marlin
Yeah over ears
molten lotus
over
rugged marlin
Oh yeah do they plug into the audio interface or the motherboard jack i dont know much about high end audio shit.
Or well i wouldnt say the k371s are high end.
dry stratus
as long as you have small to average sized ears, they should be fine at least
if you have big ears or those floppy ears, they are common enough in audio stores if you want to try before you buy
molten lotus
Oh yeah do they plug into the audio interface or the motherboard jack i dont kno...
shouldn't worry too much about that at this price range
rugged marlin
as long as you have small to average sized ears, they should be fine at least

I will go check out if i can try em in store b4 i buy em on ebay
rugged marlin
shouldn't worry too much about that at this price range
I mean getting an xlr interface anyways
dry stratus
Oh yeah do they plug into the audio interface or the motherboard jack i dont kno...
you can plug them into the motherboard, but best option would just be getting some cheap dongle
molten lotus
I mean getting an xlr interface anyways
i recommend m track solo
sonic lagoon
So I am looking to ditch my HyperX Cloud Alphas for some headphones or IEMs, but I need a mic, any recommendations for preferably sub $100 but $150 is not out the question?
rugged marlin
Usb or xlr
molten lotus
^
dry stratus
don't need a mic if you can use the IEMs for sound and headphones for mic
true esports setup
sonic lagoon
Usb or xlr
if I went XLR would I need a DAC or could I just get an adapter?
sonic lagoon
true esports setup
that would be pretty wild
rugged marlin
Uhhh youd need an xlr interface
Like the m track m solo
Cheap and good.
You can build a mic set up for a 100 bucks
sonic lagoon
oh yeah thats only $50
molten lotus
if I went XLR would I need a DAC or could I just get an adapter?
you wouldn't need a dac, you would need an interface
rugged marlin
oh yeah thats only $50
Wait 150 for the mic or headphones and mic
sonic lagoon
Wait 150 for the mic or headphones and mic
mic
rugged marlin
Ah yeah
dry stratus
dac is for digital to analog, not analog to digital anyway
molten lotus
for what usage
sonic lagoon
discord and zoom meetings
rugged marlin
Grab a boom arm shock mount the uhh pop filter sock thingy the xm8500 and m track m solo
dry stratus
just give him a 5000$ mic for discord
rugged marlin
I meant one of em sock things
molten lotus
oh a windshield
rugged marlin
Yeah
molten lotus
i don't think the xm8500 needs it
rugged marlin
OR use a thick sock
dry stratus
how about using an umbrella
molten lotus
i don't think it would work very well
sonic lagoon
ok so xm8500, boom arm, windcreen, and m track m solo?
molten lotus
no shock mount needed
rugged marlin
Really?
molten lotus
shock mounts are rarely needed for microphones unless they are meant to be used with them
rugged marlin
You can just pop er into the arm?
molten lotus
most mics already have shock mounts built into them
molten lotus
You can just pop er into the arm?
yeah
rugged marlin
Ah i thought it wouldnt uhh fit
molten lotus
unless its a stupid mic like the yeti most mics are standardized
sonic lagoon
and any boom arm recommendations or just anything thats like $50?
molten lotus
id say to grab whatever is the cheapest
if you have money to blow go for whatever innogear has
rugged marlin
Yeah it is i thought ya need it to fit the mic onto the arm
molten lotus
you don't
rugged marlin
So a boom arm xm8500 and m track m solo
sonic lagoon
yep, thank you both for the recommendations
rugged marlin
No problem
molten lotus
you are welcome mate
sonic lagoon
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R2XXYGZ/ref=twister_B09SH9C3S1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 is this a good deal?
rugged marlin
I mean i dont know how shit/good the mic is
sonic lagoon
ok yeah thats what I was wondering
molten lotus
it wouldn't suit your use case
molten lotus
xm8500 is better for you
rugged marlin
Or eur atleast.
sonic lagoon
yeah I think Ill go for xm8500, i just dont love how it looks, but that doesn't really matter
molten lotus
the mpm1000 does sound better
issue is it picks up background audio
that's why I stressed the xm8500
rugged marlin
yeah I think Ill go for xm8500, i just dont love how it looks, but that doesn't ...
Mmm why?
sonic lagoon
issue is it picks up background audio
ohh ok yeah my room can get kinda noisy occassionally
rugged marlin
Just pop a windscreen over it or somethin

I have just seen so many SM7Bs in my time that its just what I am used to

kraken is the razer headset

Kraken headsets arent really that good
dry stratus

I am just getting into the audio stuff, are the moondrop arias still recommended? I also do not know if I want IEMs or headphones, the $80 price tag for the arias is very appealing

Also closed or open backs
(Iems are apparently very good tho)
dry stratus
depending on his budget, closed vs open might not even matter
molten lotus
arias are prettygood

my budget is again max $150

i mean they are iems
they are technically more limited than headphones always

this doesn't mean there are iems that sound as good as headphones, but generally, there aren't
sonic lagoon
ok I see, thank you
dry stratus
Really? I thought there was basically no difference between 144 and 165
not too much, but they cost basically the same and 165hz seems to be more common now anyway
rugged marlin
