the virgin klaus fears the chad optimum hifi target
there is no endgame for me because my tastes never stop growing
lean grove
Like a fungus
unique wind
i have reached frequency response endgame but im open to trying different headphones to have different fits and soundstage presentations
im still deciding on what iems and what closed backs i want
lean grove
According to objectivists soundstage is stored in the frequency response
unique wind
it's a mixture of frequency response, driver size and shape, earpad size and shape, distance from ear to driver, and a few other things as far as i know
but frequency response can absolutely affect presentation yes
i dont like hifiman dips because it deletes the center image for me
it makes vocals sound like theyre coming from the left and right instead of coming from the center
lean grove
it's a mixture of frequency response, driver size and shape, earpad size and sha...
All of those things are frequency response.
Well, except driver size
But if you change the shape, the ear pads, the distance from the driver, all of those affect the frequency response.
unique wind
then what is the reason that iems, headphones, and speakers have different soundstage presentations with similar frequency response
im not saying youre wrong i just dont know
molten lotus
it isn't frequency response
unless you are arguing that impulse response is also covered in frequency response
in which case you would be right
unique wind
where are the frequency response and impulse response measurements of Klaus Ze Flammenwerfer

lean grove
then what is the reason that iems, headphones, and speakers have different sound...
Very good questions indeed.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Tweet at Sean olive
Oh well speakers the answer is easy
HRTF as well as phase and room interactions
But how do you know that headphones and iems sound different? How do you know if something is overdamped?
Some people say that it's part of the frequency response and it's just hard to interpret
unique wind
the thought i have about it right now is that even if the end frequency response is the same in your ear canal that doesnt stop the sound waves from interacting with different parts of your body first
iems only interact with your ear canal
headphones do your whole ear
speakers hit your whole body
very simple reasoning but it could be as simple as that
lean grove
I've thought about that too.
That maybe the sensation of bass around your ear might play a role
Especially for infrasonic frequencies

theyre one of very few iems that dont have the bass shelf start at 250hz stock but i cant be arsed to spend $500 on in ears

unique wind
yeah id prefer if the bass shelf didnt start any higher than 150

thieaudio monarch looks perfect but it was $1000 and it's been discontinued for a while
haughty girder
yea that used to be my preference curve
Monarch v2 isn't too far off iirc
and Blessing 3 should also be close
unique wind
mk2 does look close but id rather not spend more than around 300
unique wind
i dont have a hard cap of $300 but i find it hard to justify spending much more than $150 on in ears
they just dont scale like headphones or speakers do
and theyre much easier to break or lose
haughty girder
if you're okay with weird subbass rolloff the Truthear Zero (crin) is there
also known to be bassy but have the shelf start late

they have arrived, time to compare to dt 770 pro

those have quite a bit of bass iirc
pretty sure the 20-50hz even tracks above harman
they should seem notably warmer than dt770
haughty girder
Oh the K371?
unique wind
yeah
haughty girder
I don't think K371 is above harman
it was actually a bit darker than harman
at least modern harman
unique wind
the bass is above not the treble
but theyre pretty close to harman stock
i mean thats what they were made to be
haughty girder
iirc K371 when normalized to 1k was on point with harman till the treble?

more subbass and more mid-upper bass it seems

ive been using oratory's optimum hifi curve today and i think i like it

how's interference tho
running a constant 3v around an electret capsule doesn't seem like a good time
calm forge
Alright, question time. After building a new pc, anytime I put a load on it I get an awful buzzing and interference noise on my headphones. They are KZ ZNS Pro X's with high sensitivity and low impedance (112db/mw and 25 ohms). The hissing comes from both the front and back panel audio. as well as monitor passthrough and a razer USB adapter. This was not an issue on my previous pc (at least back panel). Any ideas on how to fix? Or, budget amp, DAC, or combo units that will fix the issue.
unique wind

the razer adapter still having noise is weird but it might just be a razer moment
unique wind
although i don’t know if an apple dongle would help seeing as you said a razer branded usb adapter has the issue too
molten lotus
move your audio cables away from other cables and electronic devices as much as you can
calm forge
Let me double check another pair of KZ headphones I have, they have a slightly less sensitivity of 106db/mw and impedance of 16 ohms. KZ ate's. The buzzing is still there, but less so. (sensitivity). If I set up my back panel as headphones, it makes the buzzing louder so I have it set up as front speakers
calm forge
the razer adapter still having noise is weird but it might just be a razer momen...
Yeah, with the headset that came with it, no noise, but they have a sensitivity of -45 +- 3 db @ 1kz and 32 ohm impedance
calm forge
does your case have a usb c port
Case, no. Motherboard, yes
calm forge
I've tried moving the cable around to no luck, front or back. There's a limit to how far I can get it away from the back cables since it still needs to plug in. I have the rest of the cable sitting in my lap rn and still hear the buzzing

Some gpus can flood the PC with dirty electricity

Minecraft with BSL shaders is the worst offender when it comes to noise I found. Other games have it but it's just so noticible

get an apple usb c to 3.5 adapter
try that
if it doesn't work you will need some sort of power filter
calm forge
Now, an apple specifically branded one or just any usb c to 3.5?

calm forge
Yeah, seeing as I'm returning the other thing I bought for the same price, It'll even out. Can't return the apple one because I don't want my amazon account to get banned 0-0
molten lotus
You don't get banned from amazon like that
calm forge
too many returns in a short period of time can do that. This would be my 3rd return in about 2 months if I had to return it.
molten lotus
that's nothing
you need to return like 20 items in a week for that to happen
I have a mate that works in amazon that isn't how they operate

running a constant 3v around an electret capsule doesn't seem like a good time
5V, and the interference of the voltage is actually not too bad, but the signal makes it pop 😄 - so every time a packet is sent you get a pop. This is mostly because the wiring is inside the mic chassis. I am going to wrap it with some foil and see what that does, and then obviously have some more options if that doesn't work that well. If it comes to it, I'll use some perspex or something to transmit the light from further away.

you would have to make it, just use some solder and seal connectors that are the right diameter
as I think the ground is shared on a stereo RCA cable that you buy so if you wanted 1/-1 2/-2 , connectors -1,2 being ground seperated, you would have to solder it yourself, but if all you care about is the unbalanced positive + signal then any standard cable from the amazon should work

Hey guys, I've recently built my first pc (FX8320+rx580, 16gb 1600mhz ddr3)
But I've encountered a problem when trying to play warzone with a controller, I cannot get the in-game voice chat to broadcast my voice to friends, I can hear them fine and hear all game audio
I've tried both the PS4 ds4 pad(wired and via Bluetooth) and a wired Xbox one pad with my turtle beach recon 70's plugged into the pad and also a different headset with split cables for the mic and audio plugged into my front IO
The pad headset and mic shows in my audio panel and as an option inside the COD settings but everything I've tried has failed
Hoping someone might know a solution
Thanks

you know how some amplifiers you can't turn the volume knob past 9 o'clock without it getting too loud
headroom in gain makes you feel like your amp is more powerful and its supposed to impress you
I added negative gain to my amp and now 12 o'clock is a reasonable listening level

Currently I'm trying to find competitor headphones that can replace the whole Driver and cup but after some hours of search couldn't find any.

Hi,
i have a Pioneer VSX - D514 at home and i cannot find any specifications about using headphones on it (mostly for impedance)
is this something to worry about or is it basically impossible to run into such issues

speaker amps generally have god awful headphone outputs
since the headphone outputs are generally just an afterthought

doesn't exist
also there is no such thing as passive noise cancelling
if it's passive then it wouldn't be noise cancelling
gentle gate
"Passive noise isolation (PNI) or cancellation is when your headphones, earbuds, earphones, or in-ear monitors naturally block outside noise."
gentle gate
Well isolation then
molten lotus
anyways
what you asked doesn't really exist
you can get headphones that are closed back and are better than other closed backs in terms of staging
but even than every good closed back that's cut above the rest has noise isolation issues

So basically, either I have trash sound staging but they block out noise well, or I have good sound staging but shitty noise isolation
