What would you guys recommend mic wise around the $200 line? I've got a Schiit Fulla with a 3.5mm input if that opens any paths, just a mic for talking to friends & in-game, atm I really only have my webcam mic
glad creek
lsr305 and 305p (similar) are better than hs5

200$ is pretty overkill for this use case
You could get a USB condenser mic at around 40-70$ and get any microphone arm you want
atomic ridge
Any recommendations brand or even model wise?
glad creek
Samson, behringer, t.bone.. and for a bit more audio technica, rode..
For example the Behringer XM8500 is stupidly cheap and stupidly good
You need to add to it an USB audio interface though but still dirt cheap and super good
Look at yr reviews (where you'll hear the mic)
molten lotus
Any recommendations brand or even model wise?
not to use with fulla we don't
fulla is exclusively for headset mics
if you want dedicated mics you need either usb or an xlr one
or something very small like lavalier mics
glad creek
Yeah I'd like to know of a good cheap lavalier mic to recommend to people that isn't XLR and can run from a motherboard without any amp or whatever
atomic ridge
Yeah the XM8500 sounds insane for $27, any downsides to it that I should know? Otherwise it seems like a perfect match for me
glad creek
Yes and I'm pretty sure you could and probably should use an XLR to 3.5mm jack that plugs into your fulla since this mic doesn't require phantom power to my knowledge
molten lotus
it doesn't but I don't think fulla is strong enough to drive it at all
@glad creek @atomic ridge
even full fledged entry level audio interfaces clip while running xm8500 loudly
i wouldn't at all doubt if someone told me the fulla wont be enough to drive it

Hello gamers. Not sure if this is the right channel but looking for some advice on a brand new pair of headphones. Looking for a pair that are over ear and wireless. Budget doesn't really matter.
Been using a pair of budget Tecknet (GH10928) headphones since 2020. They're pretty comfortable but they're beginning to tear. Got a new rig at the end of 2022 and I've been replacing every peripheral. Would like a pair that are similar in dimension to my current headphones.
Been eyeing up Corsair and Steelseries but still not entirely convinced. Looking for some recommendations.

Generally, stax are very similar in comfort to previously. The lambda series (L700 etc) are near identical in overall build to the ones from decades ago.
They have newer ones like the X9000 that are more comfortable though, but those are their flagship model rn

If it's a simple question then it shouldn't be much effort to help the person understand. A lot of people get trapped in fear of breaking something or doing something wrong and are unable to get past simple hurdles.

A one dimensional rating is doomed to be shit anyway
lean grove
like sinad?
glad creek
It's not the only thing I check
Indeed for dacs and amps that's one of the main thing for me, but that's for me
And for speakers I'm less of an objectivist
But yeah, a dac with a bad sinad for example isn't something I'd want that's true
exotic yacht
im getting conflicting information about the buds 2
glad creek
It's like
If good sinad : consider the other points
If bad : no go
It may be a flawed way of looking at things but hey
exotic yacht
crinacle, the site that everyone quotes apparently, says the buds 2 are great, and yet in here theyre not good
lean grove
It's like
If good sinad : consider the other points
If bad : no go
It may be a ...
indicator of something bad, not necessarily an indicator of something good.
but also its still a flawed one dimensional scale
something with moderate distortion but incredibly low noise floor is an example of something which might how low SINAD but still perform very well
especially if that distortion is tilted in a more pleasing way
molten lotus
It's like
If good sinad : consider the other points
If bad : no go
It may be a ...
why
its not like low sinad means better or more natural sound anyways
just numerical accuracy
glad creek
Because it's just how I am, I am a mathematician and I like numbers lmao
molten lotus
at the end of the day you are the listener anyways
glad creek
True
But I want to hear what the person who did the song wanted to make
And also because if I want something else, I can use dsp to add distorsion or a PEQ or whatever, which I do btw for my hd 600
And also the more transcient the source, the more I can hear what my speakers sound is
molten lotus
True
But I want to hear what the person who did the song wanted to make
And als...
you aren't really hearing what they wanted to make
glad creek
That is true
molten lotus
the odds are they used shitty dt770s to master it with recording equipment even further than original
glad creek
It is true, but still it doesn't add yet another layer of difference
Also I've come to like low distorsion things, not even talking about staying true to the artist, I just like it
It's "clean" sounding
molten lotus
if you are behind this many layers of transmutation of audio at this point why chase numerical accuracy and not sound you just like
glad creek
Because I seem to like numerical accuracy, at least distorsion-wise
molten lotus
distortion you can tell apart neatly sure but in the parameters of neutral items I can't tell one apart from the next one
give me 10 topping amp/dacs and i doubt id be able to tell most of them apart
glad creek
Yeah same
Because they aim to have the same sound so it's consistent at least haha
The differences will be I/o, power output, balanced or not etc ...
At least for topping
molten lotus
it is
glad creek
But for speakers and headphones I'm less of an objectivist guru
Well I still love low distorsion, but the frequency curve ? Yeah I'm more open to different curves
green marsh
the odds are they used shitty dt770s to master it with recording equipment even ...
fake news they would clearly only ever use 8361 😤

GoXLR is popular with streamers for a reason that's not just marketing
I assume it's probably much easier to use than other solutions
Now, whether or not you actually need it is questionable
green marsh
it is just marketing
bitter hollow
Nah
It's almost certainly braindead easy to use
I mean, I don't have one but plenty of not terribly tech savvy streamers use them
green marsh
true
bitter hollow
if you compare this
https://www.behringer.com/behringer/product?modelCode=P0B3M
and this
https://www.tc-helicon.com/tchelicon/product?modelCode=P0DI7
it's pretty clear that they're targeting different markets
I don't own either, but I imagine that goxlr is much simpler to work with
green marsh
youre also paying 300 more for that convenience
bitter hollow
yeah, so?
$130 is more than worth it to a streamer who doesn't have to fuck around with reaper or something
hardy ferry
just a question what is a good xlr mic for streaming and calls?
deep oasis

there's no USB input

I have listened to some sony headphones but their frequency response by default sounds disgusting

whats a good starter amp ? I am going to buy the senhizer hd6xx and want to see about an amp, although someone earlier told me I can use the apple usb c to 3.5mm with them

also is the on board DAC on my asus prime z390 good enough for them

thoughts on the soundcore life a3i? comparison to airpods in terms of reliability, fit, etc

They'll be functional but a better amp will always be better.
If you wanna get an apple dongle or a cx31993 dongle you'll get to decent quality. And if you hear a solid improvement, then you know what you've got to look forward to with a beefier setup

Uhhhhhh I would rather save up for something nicer from JDS labs, schiit, or topping.
Fosi audio is known for being very cheap

O so just get the Apple dongle and call it a day for now ?

Koss porta pro or AKG k361
For monitoring tho I would get some in-ears.

Is it even worth getting the hd6xx then if I’m just gonna use the Apple Dac? Rn I’m using cloud 2s is it gonna be an upgrade with the cheap dongle ?

Yes it'll be worth.
Good headphones are good. And good headphones being powered off a dongle are gonna be better than bad headphones powered off a dongle.

Personally if I have in-ears longer than for a few hours my ears get kinda gross. So I would not use them for work. I've got some porta pros I use and they're very comfy and very durable.
Oh you mean work well for gaming
Yes they will

yh lol

Don't. I know a lot of people that use the 6xx with a dongle.
The 1 or 2 volts that your motherboard puts out should also be plenty of power.

what about the hd560s from senheiser? i see those have alot of gd reviews
lean grove
Oh yeah. You said $50-$100 and they're like $120-$150
So If you can afford the 560s get those
trim pecan
Oh yeah. You said $50-$100 and they're like $120-$150
My budget is 300-350 are the hd600s worth the extra money?
