Inherited these today.
I would like to get them functioning on my pc or some record player.
The only problem is that the ends are copper wire, and I don’t know what model they are.

@molten lotus I ended up buying the Avantree C81 to pair the Arctis Nova 7 with my PS5 via bluetooth. I notice zero, I repeat, zero delay while playing. Even tried Overwatch (which I have more than 1k hours on PC) and couldn't notice any delay whatsoever. This was a perfect solution, this bluetooth dongle is extremely good.
Out of curiosity I tried the headphones on my PC with the onboard bluetooth from my motherboard (z390 Aorus Master) and the delay was terrible, completely unplayable.
So, what I wanted from the start was achieved. I have the headset dongle on my PC and the C81 on my PS5, everything is permanently paired and I can change seamlessly between systems whiteout taking the headset from my head.

I'm thinking of getting a second pair of earbuds. Right now I have the Sony Link buds and I'd like a second pair with ANC for cases where I need isolation from the outside.
One requirement I have is that the buds can't stick in too deep into my ears. I've tried the Sony WF-1000XM3 (and actually still have them), but I can't really wear them for more then 5 mins because of earwax >.>
I've seen that my local electronic retailer has the LG Tone free DFP9 and Google Pixel Buds Pro on sale, and I was wondering for any opinions about these, especially regarding fit in the ear canal as that's normally not really reported on
dry stratus
Just buy headphones, no more earwax issues

I've already got a bunch. I just can't take over-ears with me all the time, as sometimes I don't have a backpack with me to store them where I'm going...
unique wind
not really any easier to carry than small headphones
dry stratus
One fits in pockets, one doesn’t
That’s the only difference
Tho you could technically bring an hd6x0 with you if you are fine with holding it in place yourself and take the headband off
And ofc

I kinda get elitist vibes. I ask for TWS earbuds and instead get wired headphones recommend. It's like asking for a car and getting only bicycle recommendations 
Like, ig that earbuds aren't great for earwax, but I was using a wired pair for years without problems. Just the Sony XM3s stick in so far that they do cause problems for me, so I was looking for alternatives that do not involve a wire...
unique wind
your best bet would probably be ones that don’t sit in as deeply and have a stem that hangs below your ear
like airpods pro 2
the ones that have no stem as well as no ear loop have to sit deeper in your ear to not fall out

Is this a good place to ask what earbuds to buy?
I am currently looking at

So you say something like the LG Tone Free's might be a better choice over the Pixel Buds (LG having a stem, the Pixel Buds Pro don't)? As an all Android/Windows/Linux user, I kinda shy away from going with anything Apple because of past experiences with no official drivers and the thrid-party ones either not working at all or when they do they behave kinda whacky...

do not buy a sound card
lean grove
You don't need to pay $400 for it.
Or even buy it at all.
It just makes things sound better. Some of the cheaper ones try and entice you with features like virtual surround sound or EQ, but most of the time they're gimmicks.
unique wind
hell no do not pay $400
sound cards are effectively obsolete at this point
the current standard is an external dac (digital to analogue converter) that connects with USB, along with either a speaker or headphone amplifier
it’s not worth upgrading from motherboard audio unless you already have nice headphones first
tender frost
Those are all different outputs, not just 5 of the same thing
It also probably has an optical out for connecting a DAC
unique wind
your motherboard has a dac and amp on it already
tender frost
Your motherboard has one built in already, it converts the digital signal that your CPU puts out into an analogue signal that your headphones or speakers can use
A very weak analogue signal at that, which is fed through an amplifier

molten lotus
and are set on blowing your money
I don't know of any other amplifier between zen can and iha6 which is the 170-600$~ budget
i mean
it does sound better
but at that point there is also the matter of what cost do you bid to that upgrade
you will obviously get better sound if you have a 10k budget
but do you want to spend that much for upgrades
basically what I am getting at is
the more you pay, the better sounding items I can recommend
mild quail
https://www.amazon.com/JBL-Sweatproof-Headphones-One-Button-Microphone/dp/B07B4G...
Thx
molten lotus
but the more you pay, less the price/performance
if you want to min max cost/efficiency I can recommend cheaper items that work decently
mild quail
Alright 👍🏻
molten lotus
but if you want to prioritize maximum performance for your budget, I can recommend items that will use every dollar of it
median frigate
Alright 👍🏻
ye
molten lotus
zen dac is decent, zen dac signature is better, but whether the upgrade is worth paying 200$ more is not something I can choose for you
dac/amp also improves sound
there are different levels to them with different qualities
and is the microphone also supposed to fit in the 1000$ budget
what will you use the mic for
go for an xm8500
you don't need anything better
and an m track solo interface
dynamics are xlr?
well microphone units at least
xm8500 is an xlr microphone
stone quartz
its gonna pick up everything tho
I do use RTX voice, do you think that would help?
I'd like to be picked up around the room
molten lotus
do not get a condenser if you do not know how to use one which the odds are you don't
any condenser without a particularly tight pickup pattern is bad for a person who doesn't know microphone technique or software
stone quartz
xm8500 is dynamic
nova wagon
I do use RTX voice, do you think that would help?
probably
rtx voice can only help you so much tho, keep that in mind
molten lotus
do not buy a condenser is the bottom line
they aren't meant for your use case
all they will establish is picking up background noise
be it keyboard taps or mouse clicks
and anything in between
its literally the same thing
as using a condenser
you plug it in
you use it
molten lotus
with a condenser you actually have to do configuring to prevent background noises
stone quartz

also goxlr mini is really bad
it performs equivalent to a 50$ interface

nova wagon
i think its fine
cause he wants to get pick up all around the room
molten lotus
this is only a digital mixer however, you will not plug your mic into this
stone quartz
btw, groovy is considering a conference mic
I do already have a decent mic, but it gets in my face which is annoying
molten lotus
however as a digital mixer it is significantly better than a goxlr
as for your audio interface, an m track solo is what you will want at that price bracket
basically m track solo + x touch mini with midi mixer >>>> goxlr/mini
nova wagon
I do already have a decent mic, but it gets in my face which is annoying
do you have enough space for something like a shotgun mic?

molten lotus
oh those actually work
molten lotus

definitely too much
but they actually do work in the rare case your usb hub is really noisy
stone quartz
I had that problem and ended up switching to optical
I couldn't fix it no matter what I tried
48KHz is plenty for me anyway
molten lotus
you are welcome
oh also two things, @molten lotus
for your audio interface, reduce/increase its gain with the volume knob until its as loud as you can get it without the "clip" light glowing while you are talking to the mic
and as for zen air dac/zen dac signature, there is a switch on its back that goes between "fixed" and "variable"
since you are going to connect the zen air dac to the zen can you want to set that to "fixed" which will disable the volume knob
these might not make sense to you but after getting the items and seeing them you will probably know what to do
molten lotus
it is sort of too much yeah
people who use it usually have a negative bass shelf filter, heard it sound better idk
stone quartz
I understand why my hip hop loving friend likes that button so much now lol
lean grove
Is iFi as good as people claim?
I know some people who think the amps have a bit too much glare. But the zen dac air I think is one of the best value DAC amps above the dongle.

Class G and h are pretty similar
Class H modulates the voltage of the rails, class G has set levels of the rails.

lets just say I am one of the few active people of this chat
not into IEMs much tho, I am a headphone user

yeah, so I personally highly recommend those UE ones, but if bluetooth is a thing for you, you can search for a IEM with a removable MMCX cable, and shure makes a bluetooth adapter for them

I would just get UTWS5 with something like IE200 based on what I've seen so far, its just something I've thought about for portable anyway

Hey, so I have a question. I see a lot of and have some homemade CD's of audio, but they can only go up to 700 MB or 80 minutes. I see albums that go up to like 105 minutes though, but come on 1 cd. How do they do this????
Do they have special high capacity CD's or maybe something else?
Also some of my CD's I have burned as audio CD's, they cannot play inside an old 01 gmc truck, but they do work in an 06 taurus. Any reason why?

depending on who you ask, hifiman susvara, sennheiser orpheus, or hd600,
tender frost
"Best" is a question so based in opinion that there is no single best for a person and there never will be
dry stratus
the susvara and orpheus is basically just "the endgame maxed out"
and HD600 is just "it sounds very pleasing and natural to many"
tender frost
You will need to listen to all your options and pick the best for you, hence every audiophile on the planet crying about their 'endgame'
dry stratus
what HD600 sucks at:
tender frost
Best sound stage is probably HD 800
And quality is once again an opinion thing
Do you care about timbre? Do you care about treble more or bass? Do you care about the speed of the driver, how detailed it is?
Dude on reddit recently did lol
dry stratus
not me, because HE6 and Susvara exist and can get me where I want to be for 8-16k if I wanted to
wood
if you care only about timber get ZMF (because they're wooden headphones)
tender frost
Maybe a ZMF Verite or Caldera, maybe a Fostex TH900/909, maybe a Focal Celeste or something lol
dry stratus
different words different meaning ofc
tender frost
You'd genuinely be best off finding an audiophile related shop in your local area to give higher end offerings a listen
Would be a good idea to bring a portable source like your phone or a dedicated player if you're going to get into that zone lol
Just so you can listen to your music, and see what it sounds good on
dry stratus
Best sound stage is probably HD 800
And quality is once again an opinion thing
D...
I mean, I wouldn't say HD800 soundstage is good
its just wide and that's it
doesn't really get any closer
dry stratus
my definition of "good" or "best" is "most accurate" in this case
placid kiln
Friend needs recommendations for a headset, please. Newegg/Walmart/GameStop only. Amazon is not an option. Budget is below 200usd. Ty in advance.
tender frost
Do they care about how good they sound?
placid kiln
As long as it sounds decent. Usb or headset mic combo port.
dry stratus
isn't cloud II basically the only option for doesn't suck and can be bought in person?
tender frost
Yeah cloud 2 lol
placid kiln
Hyper cloud 2?
dry stratus
yes, hyperx
tender frost
HyperX Cloud II, yes
Very wide soundstage, detailed and treble-focussed, has some issues EQ can fix
Overall if you don't care for bass they fit the bill
dry stratus
depends on what you compare it to, but in most cases
it sounds like the sound is coming from 5 meters away
tender frost
Not much of it
dry stratus
I still prefer HD800 over HD800S
tender frost
Do you care more for deep, textured bass or just a lot of it?
There's a lot of little details which makes it hard to find what you like lol
dry stratus
lot of it = all you hear and you can't hear anything else
Give me planar bass and done
tender frost
According to some reviews I'm skimming the TH900 might be an option?
idk though cause those people have different ears to you and you might hate them
dry stratus
I would take an Arya personally
tender frost
Yes
There's a bunch of different colours offered at different times that are slightly different but they're close enough
tender frost
Yeah same, I'd love to give them a listen
tender frost
They're entirely different headphones, which one is better depends on what you like more
HD 800s is more detailed, with more focus on treble and soundstage
TH900 are bass cannons with detail and a pretty paintjob
dry stratus
basically opposites

Arya is solid

don't ask for the best, your budget needs to be like 100k+

just no one who isn't american wants to be american
only americans want to be american
don't know any better and just shill for their country
best PC would be buying intel, nvidia and/or AMD, and have them make a custom chip just for you
have them make you a 512 core CPU with dual socket motherboard for over 1000 cores, all of which perform like a 13900k in game
server CPU but single core is actually good basically what you would want
basically just threadripper before they went and got rid of it ig (threadripper was fastest gaming CPU for a short little while, lel)
buy a hifiman susvara
more like 12-16k
5-6k for the headphones, rest for the amp/dac

Greetings. Currently having a small choice issue when it comes to Bluetooth speakers.
TL:DR - Currently having a choice crisis between buying the JBL Xtreme 3 and the Marshall Middleton.
Long: Been wanting to buy some bluetooth speakers for a while now and had my eyes mostly on the JBL lineup. However, due to a recent discovery, the Marshall Middleton looks like a solid alternative. I'd definitely be willing to buy a good bluetooth speaker for 300$, but I also want the most optimal one for that price range. I'm also okay with spending less if for instance the JBL Flip 6 is a more solid choice for me. There's also Ultimate Ears which seem interesting but haven't heard anything of. Maybe someone can help with that who has experience in this matter.
Use would be mostly the occasional outdoor use in garden, backyard or wherever I won't annoy people with my music. But also in my rooms.
Any recommendations or any choice help?

Hifiman is the worst company ive ever dealt with period
My sundaras fell apart within weeks
Replaced the cable 4 times in 6 month, and the headband yoke bolts got loose and fell out
So i go to order a replacement headband, 125$
CHEAPER to buy the h400se and take the headband off that
Like 100$
What a fucking joke company
And the bolts were siezed and had to he drilled out
Circular bolt meant to be adjusted with fingers

And waiting months from china
Mind blowing a company can get away with this criminal behavior
last time i give my money to that chinese shit

Already on its last legs

why didn't you like
use your warranty
molten lotus
use your warranty
not enough reason to bitch then?
should probably learn about your own consumer rights at one point or another
molten lotus
you don't need the packaging for warranty
silent haven
Hifiman says you do
molten lotus
you sure you didn't contact them for returns
silent haven
I also bought it through amazon
molten lotus
for returns you need the box
for warranty there is a warranty code
the one under the earpads should suffice for it
molten lotus
But someone threw out my original packaging
Honestly I love my HE400SE I like them more than my 880DT
or was it in the inner chasis
dt880

tbh I have seen people like the 400se over the sundaras
so I wouldn't be surprised if you picked one over the other
silent haven
Im at the point i dont want to deal with this fucking company anymore
Going to just upgrade
molten lotus
bad call tbh
Should try to return a samsung phone for warranty, samsung has one response
"water damage"
hifiman sort of dominates that marked up until like hd800
could be DOA and samsung will say "water damage"
which at that point its still a sidegrade not a direct upgrade
so under 1000$ your best bet will mostly be hifiman like it or not
and it will be severe diminishing returns otherwise
Who is the next best planar company?
I don't think I can go to non planar 😦
i suppose audeze or abyss
but abyss is super high end
that's like jumping to 3k

The left and right is going to be mixed up
Or is this intended and you want to use the inputs as mono?

Yes, and also your schematic makes sense

But I don't think it mixes it. Output has Tip = Left, Ring = Right, Sleeve = Ground so you have them both on a single cable. The 6,35mm doesn't have ring connected cause it provides just one channel.

The top switch switches between tip and the ring
switch 2

Ring of 3,5mm_Input is the Right channel of 3,5mm_Input, Tip of 6,35mm_Right_Input is also a Right channel
molten lotus
oh
crude gust
tip is left ring is right
Not if 6,35mm is mono
molten lotus
alright then
crude gust
I just couldn't find a socket that doesn't have a ring connector, so I just took a 3 pole connector and left Ring disconnected
molten lotus
if its mono then this should be alright
not sure about the ground though
if its from different amplifiers you don't want them to share the ground
or if it's from the same amp but with l/r not bridged from inside the amp
you don't want to connect grounds if they are already not connected from the inside of the amp
it will break stuff

3,5mm_Input is the audio passthru from my monitor (for consoles etc.) and the 6,35mm_Inputs are from my PC
Well, fug
molten lotus
so you are going to split a 3.5 into two 6.3s?
molten lotus
is it in your computer or outside of it
crude gust
Outside, but an audio card can be outside aswell so
molten lotus
it can't
crude gust
Doesn't matter
molten lotus
a sound card is an internal card
an internal expansion card
if it's outside of the computer its either an interface or a dac
if it's not then it's something mislabeled
well anyways
is it a sound card or an interface

I don't give a fuck, it's late and I want this shit to just work
