Looking for some computer speaker recommendations. Can easily spend $200.

I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and some headphones. Don't know if I should get any other equiptment for audio set up.

AMP/DAC something?

[lean grove]

If you have the scarlet you can easily hook up some JBL lsr305s or Kali lp6v2's

[tidal estuary]

Thank you for the reply.

Ill look intot hem, Iv always known I wanted a amp/dac stack but I got this scarlet for free.

I didn't know if it was just an interface or what

If I still needed amp/dac

[molten lotus]

interface yes

[molten lotus]

you don't really need one but you might benefit from one

I don't think you should be concerned about dacs at the moment

scarlett will suffice

[tidal estuary]

So possibly an amp?

Im using Sennheiser 58X atm but I might upgrade later

[molten lotus]

you can get an aio unit like zen air dac for around 100$ if you'd lkke

i wouldn't be too concerned with upgrading your chain until you have a better headphone though

[tidal estuary]

What about if I had a pair of hifiman Sundara?

[fleet sinew]

what's up im looking for headphones recommendations

I've been using hyperX cloud 2's for years now, and the audio quality and mic quality are great - but they give me a headache after prolonged wearing

I'm looking for something similar in audio quality, but much more comfortable for long periods of time

[lean grove]

check out the dt880

[fleet sinew]

this looks interesting, how comfortable are they?

compared to hyperX headsets

[lean grove]

very

simple velour ear cushions, spatious inside, low clamp

[fleet sinew]

how does the audio quality compare?

and mic quality

[lean grove]

better

no mic

[fleet sinew]

hmm is there something like it with a mic?

[lean grove]

kinda?

not really?

theres the mmx300 which isnt gonna be as good sounding as the dt880

[fleet sinew]

what headset has the lowest clamping force while still being able to clamp?

a reddit post is saying the dt880's are kinda underwhelming

[lean grove]

well if a redditor said it, it must be true

[fleet sinew]

what is like

the best, most comfortable headset

like the lebron or MJ or ronaldo or something of headsets

in terms of quality while also having a mic

[lean grove]

well once you start paying lebron money you stop needing the mic

and instead you get an external one

maybe

maybe

the audeze lcd-gx

[fleet sinew]

ok so at the threshold of not having a mic, where can I get one with a mic for $160 and super comfortable

with good audio quality

is there something that's $160 or so and the most comfortable for that price?

[lean grove]

idk man

[fleet sinew]

ok who is the guru of hardware here lmao

[lean grove]

the thing is anyone who likes headphones doesnt really focus on headsets cuz they're all pretty bad.
there's a few that are good but they're not gonna be as comfy as you probably want.

pc37x, pc38x, and audeze maxwell are the only headsets that anyone who cares about audio is gonna recommend.

but pc37x and 38x are gonna clamp kinda hard, and the maxwell is expensive and weighs a lot

anyone worth listening to is gonna tell you exactly what i've told you

[fleet sinew]

in terms of audio, im fine as long as the audio quality is hyperX quality

I'm ultra prioritizing comfort

something light weight, well fitting, low clamp force

[molten lotus]

we can't comment on that

your head is your own

we have different head structures

[fleet sinew]

Ok imagine a sphere head that gets headaches from the high clamp force HyperX cloud 2's

what is low clamp force, high comfort

[molten lotus]

headphones I know to be lightest and having no clamp at all were called uncomfortable by people before

its really up to the person wearing them

[fleet sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/ugh-ughh-oh-boy-tired-lazy-gif-13987646

[fleet sinew]

what's the consensus pick

the chick fil A of headphones where 95% of people like it

[molten lotus]

if you really want to know go to an audio store and try them out

[fleet sinew]

in terms of comfort

[molten lotus]

headsets right

[fleet sinew]

yea

headphones / headset

[molten lotus]

no idea i don't give a shit about headsets

[fleet sinew]

what's the difference?

[molten lotus]

headset is a set of headphones + microphone

pc38x is a decent headset

but i am unsure where to place it in comfort spectrum

better audio quality than almost every other headphone i know of though

[fleet sinew]

right ok so that's what Im looking for

[molten lotus]

except audeze maxwell i am unsure, ive not listened to that

[fleet sinew]

something with audio + mic quality like hyperx, but much more comfortable

[molten lotus]

pc38x is much higher in quality than hyperx but I can't say anything for sure about the comfort

why don't you just buy it and see for yourself

return it if its uncomfortable

[fleet sinew]

bc I gotta order on amazon

wait the 2 days or whatever

then send it back if I don't like it

the nearest best buy or whatever is an hour and a half away

people on youtube/reddit saying the pc38x has a lot of clamp

[molten lotus]

2 days is what draws the line?

[fleet sinew]

considering if I don't like it, I've got to package it, drive to the postal place 30 minutes away, send it. yea

that's a 2 hour operation right there

compared to just doing the proper research

[molten lotus]

drive?

[fleet sinew]

yea? if I want to return it

[molten lotus]

couriers pick stuff up from your front door

[fleet sinew]

look idk what irrelevant discussion we're having rn

who is like the linus of headsets on this server

someone that just knows specs and customer reviews on all of them

or who on youtube would know

[molten lotus]

anyone who knows a single thing about audio doesn't give a shit about headsets

because its mutually agreed to be a trash market by all

[fleet sinew]

ok i'm not an audiophile or some shit

[molten lotus]

yes

[fleet sinew]

I'm a normal ass dude wanting average sound and some comfort

[molten lotus]

oh okay my bad

let me telephatically get the 3d cranial measurements of you

[fleet sinew]

like I said I was happy with the HyperX's sound and mic quality

dude im not asking for that

[molten lotus]

hmmm yes the conx

[fleet sinew]

im asking which youtuber or person here is like a pro at reviewing headsets

[molten lotus]

40% calcium....

[fleet sinew]

ok

if anyone else is interested in helping lmk

[molten lotus]

you have this false impression that low clamp means comfortable

[fleet sinew]

no. I have the impression that clamp force is one of the main determinants of comfort, considering the hyperX headsets cause me headaches by clamping on my head with high force

key phrase: one of the main determinants

[molten lotus]

instead of clamp force you should be focusing on earpad sizes

[fleet sinew]

that's why I'm just asking for something comfortable, including low clamp force

[fleet sinew]

fair

that's why I'm saying comfortable

what is the most comfortable headset for 150 or so dollars

[molten lotus]

that is based on how the clamp force is distributed on your head

which again

is based on your head

which I literally cannot comment on

consider mmx300 nils recommended

beyer stuff is generally comfortable

and it has the average beyer headband and pads

should be relatively comfortable

[fleet sinew]

what's up im looking for headset recommendations

I've been using hyperX cloud 2's for years now, and the audio quality and mic quality are great - but they give me a headache after prolonged wearing

something light weight, well fitting, low clamp force

[molten lotus]

whats up give me your cranial measurements

[fleet sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/face-palm-shake-my-head-smdh-smh-muppets-gif-5928154

no not you

someone that can just recommend what 95% of people use

[lean grove]

you seem to be fond of reddit and youtube

so just get whatever they recommend

[fleet sinew]

no, that's why I came here

how are these pc38x?

everyone seems to recommend that as far as headsets go

is there something more comfortable than that"?

[lean grove]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sennheisers usually clamp pretty hard

the only thing that they make that doesnt clamp is the hd800

[fleet sinew]

damn

so what's the best headset in terms of comfort

something I could wear for like 4 hrs or so at a time and not every feel it / have a headache

[lean grove]

idk, man

i wear my sennheisers for hours

[fleet sinew]

even with the high clamping?

have you worn Cloud 2's for hours before?

if so what did you think of them?

[lean grove]

i think i wore the cloud 2's for about 10 seconds before i didnt wanna wear them ever again

not a fan of the sound

[fleet sinew]

the sound of it is fine to me, so I guess im ok then with average sound

so im mostly prioritizing comfort then

in that case, I just need a really comfortable headset

[lean grove]

i wish you the best of luck in your endeavors

[latent thunder]

Porta pro communication

[bright osprey]

[opaque ingot]

edifier 1700 or Klipsch R-15PM
which one of them works well with a 10/12 inch sub?

[molten lotus]

hi,
my windows' volum mixer is auto changing volums of my applications,
is there anyway to stop it?

[kindred plinth]

is there any good iems that can be worn straight down

[severe hare]

i use mines hd560s for more than 10h everyday

10/10

[tough lava]

It doesn't do that. What applications and what changes and when.

[turbid grove]

The best backup I've ever made

If you use APO though

why does safe mode affect output sample?

[copper sonnet]

What are some cheaper alternatives to the xm4/5

[molten lotus]

Any application that i have muted or put volume to zero suddenly gets unmuted or volume increased

[bronze sigil]

razer hammerhead true wireless x is it any good?

[molten lotus]

it is very bad

[thorn pulsar]

Are there any decent like sub 15cm tall desktop speakers thats okay? preferably 2.0

small desk and not that high requirements when it comes to speakers since i just use headphones when i want good sound anyways

[lean grove]

Creative pebbles are the only ones I can think of.

Vanatoos are much better but they're 19cm

They're triangular so you might be able to fit them if they're in front of your monitor a bit.

[thorn pulsar]

The pebbles are the ones i currently use, they are okay enough but it's still a bit jarring for the ears at times, works okay enough for any youtube etc. watching tho

ill have a look on the Vanatoos though, i can technically just raise my monitors up a bit, just would prefer not to have the monitors too far up either

i just have a lot of tech on my desk and not that much space xD

[dry stratus]

what if u put em on the side?

[lean grove]

Then you're gonna be getting really bad desk reflections and horizontal dispersion.

Basically the worst possible way to use a speaker

[wintry oasis]

I’m in need of some help I’m trying to use my headset via this Splitter I got but it’s loose inside of the port

AND

It’s making a very loud static sound which isn’t ideal for people trying to listen to me

[molten lotus]

probably related to the fact it isn't inserted properly

are you sure the jack is inserted all the way

[wintry oasis]

Yep

[molten lotus]

try inserting a different 3.5 into the socket

[wintry oasis]

My headset has 3 of those plastic rings on the jack where as the splitter only has 2

[molten lotus]

determine whether its the socket or jack that is causing the issues

if its the latter just get a new splitter

if its the prior a cx dongle will do

[wintry oasis]

Yeah I think it’s the splitter since I’ve tried it in my mother board and the top ports on my case

Do I need a specific diff one since this one has seemed wobbly when inserted?

[molten lotus]

if these are 3.5 jacks then it's a manufacturing error

[wintry oasis]

Probably

[molten lotus]

they could also be 2.5 though

[silent haven]

Any SchiitHeads here

[atomic ridge]

Anyone got recommendations for audio interfaces for at2020? Around 100-150 dollars

[tepid torrent]

No, all sources sound the same and we all pray to the apple dongle every night

Arent I right @molten lotus

[molten lotus]

so true

[tepid torrent]

🙏

[molten lotus]

holo may and apple dongle exact same bro

[tepid torrent]

[wintry nexus]

Random question, but any recommendations for a wireless gaming headset for pc? Probably around £100 - £200 budget. Thanks! 🙂

[tepid torrent]

Do you want it to sound good or no

[wintry nexus]

Preferably yeah

[steel escarp]

How damn long does it take for fiio to send their damn fiio ft3 to the local company I ordered from

So they can send it to me

[wintry nexus]

Im more than happy to get one of the amazon 'used like new' as well

[wintry nexus]

I have a pair of Corsair Void Elite headphones currently and I'm okay with the sound of them but feel as tho ot could be better. They have very much been through hell tho with multiple moves 😂

[steel escarp]

How the heck does a headphone have this much midbass but so little sub bass

I could see the earpads causing a bit of that mid bass, but there has to be some leaks that cause this. Maybe the driver is so small that the resonance frequency is around 200Hz with steep rolloff?

This graph is of the corsair void elite

[haughty girder]

you already have at2020?

[steel escarp]

They claim 50mm, how is there this much roloff

Maybe it's the lack of space behind the driver

[haughty girder]

if so, just get an arturia minifuse 1 or the Volt 176

[steel escarp]

Oh there is almost no space behind the driver

You could probably mod them into sounding good

[atomic ridge]

No, but planning on getting it

[haughty girder]

I'd avoid it tbh

[atomic ridge]

Why? And any other recommendations?

[tepid torrent]

maybe this driver is so small

This is what causes the same problem in the koss portapro, significantly raised midbass and steep rolloff

[raven swan]

Does anyone know if Soundcore or other companies sell earhooks for the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC earbuds?
Idk if its just my ears or the headphones, but I cant keep them and most other earbuds in my ears when moving around. And I also fear loosing them, so having that extra security would be nice
I ordered and tried these:
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0823VZ675?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

But they just add weight to the earbuds which I don't think helps with the earbuds staying in my ears

[tepid torrent]

And the fact that the housing is so small

[bronze sigil]

razer blackshark v2 x hyperclear vs razer blackshark v2 pro?

[tepid torrent]

Fuck is a hyperclear

[molten lotus]

wtf is hyperclear

[bronze sigil]

Saw it in some title and just copy pasted it, never would have thought it's not included with the name. My bad for any confusion

[molten lotus]

maybe give us a budget

copy pasting random headphones and asking x vs y is not going to get anywhere

[bronze sigil]

$100

[molten lotus]

cloud 2

[bronze sigil]

wired is better than wireless right?

[molten lotus]

yes

[molten lotus]

if you don't need a mic akg k361 is the best choice here

if you do pc37x is a great choice given you can find it for 100$

better than the cloud 2

[bronze sigil]

Can it connect to the Wii though?

[molten lotus]

they are wired so

[bronze sigil]

right

[molten lotus]

k361 has a bt variant but you want to avoid that

[bronze sigil]

What about the cloud 3? tad bit more than the cloud 2

[molten lotus]

there aren't any measurements of it from viable sources out there

its too new

people who ive spoken to said that cloud 3 is worse than the cloud 2 though

[bronze sigil]

The mic sounds better than the cloud 2

Gonna get the cloud 3

fuck I hate making choices

https://www.amazon.com/HyperX-Cloud-Gaming-Headset-KHX-HSCP-GM/dp/B00SAYCVTQ

is this the kingston version or is this the HP one?

[molten lotus]

i don't know mate

[bronze sigil]

They say the HP versions are worse than the kingston ones

[tepid torrent]

Yes

[tepid torrent]

New

The question is do you notice/care

[bronze sigil]

Is it still worth getting though?

[tepid torrent]

Uh

For sound

No

So no

Its not

[tidal estuary]

So I have a three display monitor setup that basically takes up my whole stadning desk. Im trying to get speaker monitors and Im trying to figure where to put them. Should they be above the display like angled down or should I like try and raise the displays?

Would it be weird to ahve them above me angled down?

[lean grove]

i mean. it wont be the worst place to put them.

you might want to play around with palcement before comitting

stack them on top of books, or get whatever you can find (some friends?) and see where they sound best

[bronze sigil]

What do you recommend then?

[glad creek]

Audeze maxwell volume on linux is super low

[glad creek]

Probably angled down is your best bet

[analog magnet]

I’m lookin into getting some iems that are quality but kinda cheap, any good suggestions?

[royal fog]

Hey I’m starting a new job soon (I’ll be synchronising stuff) and I need a good audio setup at now I have to decide what mic to get I want to have a Large Diaphragm mic and I can’t decide if I should get the se x1 or the neat king bee 2 tja is in advance :)

[cursive locust]

anyone have any recommendations for a ~$30 usb mic that just sounds good for yt/content creation? willing to do eq and stuff ofc since the budget is so low

[unique wind]

fifine 669 or 683

[wintry mirage]

is there any kind of converter i can get to run a car amplifier indoors because i know most have a battery and ground input at 12v dc

[lean grove]

12 volt power supply. Just need something beefy cuz car batteries can deliver a shit ton of current that would melt normal electronics.

[wintry mirage]

id not need more than 500 watts

any idea what that would cost

[lean grove]

Idk ask Google.

[wintry mirage]

i did but the details were not great

it told me i can use a computer psu tho

[lean grove]

Wdym. I just did a Google and I see tons of 12v 500 watt power supplies.

In theory

12 volts 500 watts should be 12 volt 500 watts

[wintry mirage]

i was just looking at buying a new subwoofer for cheap and the cheapest ones are used car audio stuff

most have amps built in though

i dont really know what kind of amplifier id have to buy for one without one built in

[wintry mirage]

i do have a old 8 inch subwoofer in its box i wonder if i can replace it with a better one

without replacing the box

[molten lotus]

what the fuck lmao

joshua down bad

[bright osprey]

Que

[unique wind]

solid price for a 650

i’m sure he already got 500 emails though

[molten lotus]

solid price for either

[unique wind]

yeah but who wants a ft3 besides grey

[molten lotus]

i could resell them for more

[unique wind]

it’s just sundara tuning but worse

[molten lotus]

its not a sundara at all

its a dynamic

[unique wind]

geez it has massive drivers

aren’t most dynamics 45mm

[molten lotus]

smaller

30-40

30 for consumer trash

40 for audiophile trash

[unique wind]

42 on 600

45 on most beyers

53 for ad700x

60mm is huge

[molten lotus]

i take it back razer kraken has 50mm

what the fuck

xm5 also has 30mm drivers

[unique wind]

yeah a ton of consumer stuff uses a generic 50mm driver

they use it as a marketing point for some reason

[molten lotus]

im not sure about 60mm

[bright osprey]

Surprisingly not a fan of Sennheiser's cheaper offerings

[molten lotus]

you mean joshua?

[bright osprey]

No, me

[molten lotus]

ah

i like hd560s

that's about it

[unique wind]

560 and 6## best sennys tbh

[molten lotus]

never tried hd800

[molten lotus]

ahem

hd660

[bright osprey]

I just want back the 6XX and honestly they sound warm and muddy to me

Just fairly boomy

Then I've tried the 800s

[molten lotus]

what sounds warm and muddy

[bright osprey]

And honestly didn't like those much either

[bright osprey]

6XX

[molten lotus]

i also feel that way

[bright osprey]

I thought I was crazy

Then I was asked what's my daily driver

[unique wind]

nah that’s kinda what they’re known for

[bright osprey]

And it's the Arya

[unique wind]

warm and tight soundstage

[molten lotus]

cant get over how muffled and congested they sound to enjoy them

[bright osprey]

And someone said that makes sense now

[molten lotus]

its like the direct opposite of arya

[bright osprey]

Exactly

[molten lotus]

so i can feel you

[unique wind]

literslly

600s peak at 2-3k and have a slight treble roll off

egg hifimans dip at 2-3k and have slight treble elevation

[molten lotus]

its not a frequency response thing i believe

[unique wind]

they have totally opposite approaches to treble

[molten lotus]

impulse response maybe?

it layers so bad that makes the sound muffled

not necessarily low in treble

i think

i cant say ive spent much time with them but that's how i remember interpreting it

[unique wind]

do they sound notably less open than hifimans

[molten lotus]

yes

[unique wind]

i’ve only heard closed backs and hifimans

[bright osprey]

Yes

[unique wind]

never an inbetween

[bright osprey]

Haven't tried any Audeze

[molten lotus]

I really dislike the sundaras but for comparison purposes, sundaras are far fucking wider and open

[bright osprey]

EXACTLY

It's like a night and day difference

[unique wind]

sundara is really really nice with harman bass man

[molten lotus]

that's the only way I can use it

[unique wind]

aside from the fact that mine has a loose screw that i’m too lazy to tighten

[molten lotus]

with eq coping the fuck out of it

[unique wind]

it’s not really eq coping

it’s one of the most well tuned headphones ever made imo

[molten lotus]

its very much eq coping man

the bass needs to go up by like 8dB for harman 2018

[bright osprey]

I have the 400se but they're fairly close to the Sundaras

[molten lotus]

they are yeah

[unique wind]

same for senny 600s

a lot of very popular opens have massive subbass roll off

[molten lotus]

the thing is

[unique wind]

at least sundara drivers can handle the boost

[molten lotus]

bass sounds more in place with dynamics

they are thicker

[bright osprey]

True

[molten lotus]

so even in low volumes they can feel rumblier than planars

which is the saving grace of sennies over hifimans

unless you into the higher end of things

[bright osprey]

I think I figured out I'm into brighter headphones

[unique wind]

i honestly don’t care about the sub-50hz roll off on the sundara

i just like to match 50-120hz to harman

[molten lotus]

i like 20hz at 2018 oem

its pretty filthy but

it is what it is

[unique wind]

i mean i’d rather there not be the roll off but i’m not gonna sacrifice 3-4db of volume to fill it in

[molten lotus]

heh

non speaker tapper mindset

chad -20dB eq apo headroom speaker amp owner

[unique wind]

real men use a90d for all headphones

[molten lotus]

real men don't use headphones

[unique wind]

not wrong

[molten lotus]

real

[unique wind]

headphones are price and space cope

that’s why they were made

[molten lotus]

privacy too

tbh

imaging too

speaker imaging is very expensive

[lean grove]

The LaCroix of headphone amps

[unique wind]

yeah but massive clean power

probably epic for headphones

[molten lotus]

its just headroom

i cant tell apart topping amp sounds from one another at all

[unique wind]

i want a headphone that can handle playing at 114db without committing seppuku

like some iems can

[molten lotus]

i dont think you will establish that with headphones

i wonder how stax would fare with that sort of volume

[unique wind]

sometimes i get the urge to listen to a phonk song at 114db and then go back to vibing after

[molten lotus]

i think you would destroy your hearing

[unique wind]

nah not if it’s just one 2-3 minute song once a day man

[molten lotus]

true

i do it too sometimes honestly

[unique wind]

people spend hours at concerts at that volume

[glad creek]

You are sure it's really 114 ?

[bright osprey]

Had the Ie600 as well

Those are pretty good

[molten lotus]

i don't have a measurement tool but i listen to a song super loud pause it and do other stuff

[unique wind]

nah i have no way of measuring

[molten lotus]

come back and my headphones give me a jumpscare because of how loud they were left

[unique wind]

but sometimes i put iems on as loud as i can stand for a couple songs and then go back down after

[molten lotus]

were those the latest senn in ears

[glad creek]

I have a soundmeter and some minidsp EARS, it's pretty fun to play around with

[bright osprey]

The ie 900 are

But 600 are beautiful

[glad creek]

Speaking of minidsp ears, how would they fare for room measurements of speakers ?

[molten lotus]

what was that budget senn in ear that was coming out like

within the last year

[bright osprey]

Just ended up moving away from iems do to wax

[glad creek]

For room correc/treatment

[molten lotus]

by budget i mean like 300 ish

[unique wind]

most senn in ears are dog crap

[bright osprey]

Uhhhh

[unique wind]

they all have weird treble

[molten lotus]

ie400?

[bright osprey]

Take that back

[unique wind]

i won’t take it back it’s true

[molten lotus]

senn has some solid in ears afaik

[unique wind]

the prices they charge to have bad treble tuning is unacceptable

when shit like crinacle red hugs harman for $55

[bright osprey]

[unique wind]

or if you want a tastefully v shaped planar the zetian wu is awesome

for $150

[lean grove]

Every single room correction software uses omnidirectional mics for room correction so I'm assuming there's a reason for not using ears.

I'm sure you could find a way to correct for the mic of the ears, but without that I suspect you're gonna get weird results.

[glad creek]

Yeah so it won't be good

[molten lotus]

@unique wind do dunu titans fit into utws3

dont they have recessed pins

[unique wind]

i don’t know

[molten lotus]

i thought you owned them

[unique wind]

no

[molten lotus]

which iem was the one you had

[glad creek]

Maybe enough to get a rough understanding of what's wrong with the room for treatment (and not software correction)

[unique wind]

i own kbear ks2, 7hz salnotes zero, qkz x hbb khan, moondrop aria, and tangzu zetian wu

khan > zetian wu > aria > zero > kbear ks2

though i would understand if someone likes wu more

they’re sparkly but not sibilant at all it’s weird

[nimble cobalt]

Im stupid.

Got motu M4

Want to connect my dt990s

Forgot where the big plug is so cant use it (:

[lean grove]

Time to order a $2 converter on Amazon

[unique wind]

now you have an opportunity to buy the best adapters ever

https://a.co/d/4Gvt8ln

the pop they make when you connect them is so satisfying

i will never use screw ons ever again

[bright osprey]

[bright osprey]

How come?

[unique wind]

pain in the ass

[bright osprey]

Oh that's why

[unique wind]

and the pop on ones are really satisfying like i said

[bright osprey]

Makes you go

[unique wind]

literally

[nimble cobalt]

Damn I'll get thay then

[unique wind]

i could play with it all day

[bright osprey]

[nimble cobalt]

Still will look around a bit to see if I can find my beyer box woth stuff

Its somewhere in my pile of garbage i never touch

[unique wind]

garbage pile and drawer gang assemble

i don’t organize i just have different piles of shit from different points of time

[nimble cobalt]

I know where everything is from the stuff I actually use

But if I dont use it it gets lost in the void

[unique wind]

i really want to run susvara off of utws5 just to annoy people

@molten lotus spotify lossless might finally be coming soon

though it’s rumored to have its own more expensive tier so i probably won’t buy it

[molten lotus]

honestly

i really dont care

[unique wind]

same

[molten lotus]

lmao

[unique wind]

the only time i’d take advantage of lossless is with speakers

[molten lotus]

i wouldn't even then

i cant tell the difference unless its critical listening of like 5 minutes of abx

[unique wind]

i mean if it was a free upgrade i’d redownload all my shit in lossless because i have the space

but i’m not gonna pay more money for it

[molten lotus]

REAL

im stealing this

[nimble cobalt]

I have this fiio e10 laying around.

I hate it idk why

[molten lotus]

best way of using an e10

not using it

[unique wind]

dankpods and reddit audio communities on their way to inform people on how to waste their money

[molten lotus]

k240 so good

[lean grove]

Not a fan. It's too analytical

[molten lotus]

understandable

[glad creek]

Yeah same for 80% of what I listen too
Also nowadays I kind of never do any critical listening...

[bright osprey]

There's also Modmic attachable microphones

[nimble cobalt]

If anyone wants for shipping costs I'll give you the e10 for free, I want it gone but I am too dutch to throw it away

[molten lotus]

lmao

[unique wind]

i’ve honestly never been a critical listener aside from being picky about tonality

[molten lotus]

i think the shipping money is more valuable

[unique wind]

incorrect FR annoys me and prevents me from turning the music into background noise like i want

[glad creek]

Love the q701
And k240 are incredible for their price if it's still like 60€

[nimble cobalt]

Time to look through the pile for my plug

[unique wind]

i would say i’m an attentive listener with speakers and i’ll sing the lyrics

but i’m not picking out micro details or anything

i just want the room full of sound

[molten lotus]

attentive listening is different than critical listening i believe

[nimble cobalt]

yup i can with confidendce say it does not exist anymore

[glad creek]

Yes that's really the same for me, and why I really love multichannel stereo with my home theater (even though I'll probably get hated for saying that haha)

[unique wind]

defo

attentive just means you’re actually paying attention

anybody can attentively listen

[unique wind]

stereo duplication is probably nice if you have nice rear channel speakers and i believe you said you did

[glad creek]

They are the same as my front ones yeah

[unique wind]

wouldn’t work well for multi person listening i think

but just chilling by yourself sure

[glad creek]

It does work well for multi persons, well, at least not worse than with only 2 speakers

[unique wind]

eh

i didn’t like using it when i watched movies with my dad personally

because the volume mismatch between the rear channels was annoying

we each basically only got the left or right depending on where we sat

@steel escarp josh hasn’t sold his ft3 yet go email him

never mind you’re european lawl

[steel escarp]

what?

who is josh

[unique wind]

valour

[steel escarp]

why would I buy his unit

I am ordering from a local store so I can return it after trying it out

[wintry mirage]

anyone know what this connector is and how to use it

i saw it on a speaker today

it was similar i can say

just wondering how to connect it to an amplifier

[lean grove]

looks like something for pro audio.

[wintry mirage]

i have another speaker with that connector

[lean grove]

is this for a subwoofer or for an actual pair of speakers

[wintry mirage]

the one i was looking at is a subwoofer

and the other ones are a pair of pa speakers

[lean grove]

okay. then they probably have amplifiers built into them

[wintry mirage]

the pair doesnt

[lean grove]

idk then.

[wintry mirage]

im looking at 2 subwoofers that are used

its cashies so theres like 0 information

because the workers are stupid they list them either too cheap or too expensive

[lean grove]

yeah man idk. sometimes when you try and cheap out you wind up wasting more money than if you just bought something normal. especially if you dont have a really good idea of what you're doing

[wintry mirage]

my sub i used for 3 years and still now costed £10 from cashies

all it needs to do is make sound around 15-50hz

just need something that wont self destruct

like the one i used now is half cooked because i destroyed it

i found one that looks quite good

as long as it makes noise ill be happy

[hollow lantern]

What’s a good pair of heads phones to use while mowing grass my dads just broke under 100 dollars

[lean grove]

if you want good sound and isolation get ear buds.

[wintry mirage]

if u want sound isolation avoid jbl

theirs sucks

although they are decent for other things

[cobalt sparrow]

I fucking lost my ER2SE's and CX31933 dac at a restaurant (I think)

Anyways... Any new, good IEM's that came out in the last 6 months?

(under 100$)

[molten lotus]

lmao

[lean grove]

Truthear reds

[molten lotus]

Interested in adding a vocal changer to a costume that pics up from a mic, applies vocal effects through hardware, and outputs through a speaker not too close by (like on a belt). Mic feedback is a big issue though. Is there any way to eliminate the extremely loud feedback in a situation like that?

[livid rapids]

Guys

I'm getting my room renovated

I'm thinking to get 4 speaker at 4 corners of the room

Which should I go with?

And should I bother with a subwoofer?

[glad creek]

This totally depends on the budget

And is it for music? I'd honestly get two good speakers rather than 4 less good, except if you have a really good budget

For the sub you probably want one (or 2 hehe), but same, it's really expensive

And as for the source, it's something to think about too
Will you plug it into a PC H24, do you need Bluetooth, streaming features such as Spotify connect, dlna
If you go passive speakers you'll also need an amplifier etc...

Oh and you have to think about room correction too

So yeah
Complex subject

What's your budget, what's your goal, how do you want to use it, for music/gaming/home theater/combination of all that, what's the size of the room

[kindred plinth]

my ear hurts from iem

[bitter hollow]

Buy better ears

[livid rapids]

I don't want such an advanced system, my budget would be max 500 bucks

[livid rapids]

💀

[livid rapids]

Yes indeed for music only, will need Bluetooth also

[glad creek]

I'd buy a topping dac that supports bluetooth and some powered monitors like JBL 305P
But I'd stick with two speakers

@livid rapids

[livid rapids]

Two speakers diagonally or same side?

[glad creek]

Same side

You don't really have the budget to go multichannel stereo anyway

And music is recorded in stereo
So buying two better speakers rather 4 cheaper will be better
And you could even upgrade to 4 one day if you want to

[twin goblet]

which free equalizer can I use for windows?

[shell needle]

Voicemeeter Banana is what I use but does a lot on top of having equalization so might be overkill depending on use case

[twin goblet]

I just need to play with bass and treble a bit

I will be able to do that?

[molten lotus]

you will get used to jt

[molten lotus]

equalizer apo

[glad creek]

Equalizer apo

[twin goblet]

okay

[glad creek]

It's really the best and simplest and honestly the other ones are often crappy

Also this one is a parametric EQ so it's better

[twin goblet]

I don't understand that

but I'll try to play around the settings

[molten lotus]

watch a tutorial on eq apo

its not something you can blindly make use of

[glad creek]

Yeah well I could explain what a parametric EQ but you don't forcefully need to know

But yeah check tutorials

[molten lotus]

will take like 10 mins to watch a tutorial

[bronze sigil]

Galaxy buds 2 sound quality and noise canceling is it good?

[rare horizon]

it's a bargin for the price though

I found some retailer selling it under 70 USD

anyways I'm getting the buds2 pro later

[bronze sigil]

100 smackaroonies from the official store

What about the quality though?

[shell needle]

Really solid sound in my experience. tho age/battery life might be a concern soonish

[cosmic wraith]

What is the best track to rebass?

[thin crescent]

How about the jbl 710bt or the 660nc?

[bronze sigil]

Ordered a pair for about $65

I’d say it’s a steal

[crisp moat]

Got a smol sub to help the Genelec's a bit

[steel escarp]

Nice bedside table

[crisp moat]

It's a sofa

[crisp moat]

Tried many different places for the sub, and the best sounding spot was next to the sofa, way back from where I'm sitting

[thin crescent]

Anyone know if these are any good? Even the 760nc is an option but only if the above mentioned ones are not worth it as that maxes my budget and I don't want to do so.

[topaz stag]

Hey, this would be my first time looking into high end headphones ever since my partner invested in his own pair and since then, I’ve been interested in getting my own pair. My budget is 1K. I want to steer away from warm and get into more bright sounding. I also don’t like long shaped ear cups since my head is small.

[lean grove]

try and find a used hd800 or HD800S and then get a schiit stack.

[topaz stag]

Hmmmm

[molten lotus]

hifiman edition xs

zen air dac, ifi zen can

I don't think it gets more brighter/neutral than this unless you want something very unbalanced in sound

[topaz stag]

Note taken

[bright osprey]

I think she mentioned she doesn't like long cups

[topaz stag]

Yeah

Long is bad. Head smol

[molten lotus]

everything high end is long cups

you will have to cope if you want high end

[topaz stag]

curse my smol head

[molten lotus]

that or you will have to go unorthodox routes and try pairing earpads or buy more scuffed headphones for smaller cup space

[molten lotus]

it can't be that bad?

[topaz stag]

My wisdom teeth are growing

[bright osprey]

[topaz stag]

So long headphones would not feel great

[molten lotus]

jaw pressure?

[topaz stag]

Yeah

[molten lotus]

yeah jaw pressure is an issue with hifiman oval pads

not related to head size though, just jaw shape

[topaz stag]

I know, I’ve tried a pair from someone I know @bright osprey ahem

And it was terrible

Shit may as well be a helmet for me

[molten lotus]

nil's recommendation might be it for you then

its still oval in shape but its unlike hifiman pads

[bright osprey]

Hd 800s aren't too bad

[topaz stag]

I funny enough tried those and the sound was …alright to me

[bright osprey]

Not my cup of tea but theyre good

[molten lotus]

yeah I haven't heard of jaw pressure issues with them either

[topaz stag]

Yeah it was fine for jaw pressure

It comes down to comfort and sound for me

Mainly comfort though

[unique wind]

my money go double or triple

[lean grove]

alright as in underwelming?

[topaz stag]

Yeah

I may have to try em again but from what I remember yeah

[lean grove]

any idea what would have made you like them more?

just as a jumping off point

[topaz stag]

Mmmm I don’t like anything that sounds too airy…if that makes sense

But I don’t know tbh. I used em for a brief moment

[lean grove]

so bright but not airy.

interesting

[topaz stag]

I’m still pretty new to what I like

[unique wind]

hd 6xx

[lean grove]

maybe hifiman not a good choice then

[topaz stag]

Yeah I figured

[lean grove]

6xx also good on a small head

[topaz stag]

Hm okay I’ll add that to a list I’m making to try

[unique wind]

if you see hd600 or hd650 theyre nearly identical

[lean grove]

actually

600

not 6xx

6xx on the warmer side

[unique wind]

does 6xx not have the same eargain

i thought 600 6xx and 650 were all nearly identical

[lean grove]

6xx/650 has a slight bass tilt over the 600

like, its pretty subtle

[topaz stag]

I do like some bass

[lean grove]

hmmm

so maybe you're after a v shape?

[unique wind]

if 600s are small head friendly maybe start with that and add bass with eq if you want

[lean grove]

honeslty not a bad call

[bright osprey]

I don't think so either

She might be perfectly fine with those

[molten lotus]

hd560s?

not too thin, fairly bright

pretty neutral

its like 1-2/10 of the budget she proposed but I can't think of any other headphones that fit into this criteria

[unique wind]

@lean grove im starting to think we'll never get arya organic squiggles

[lean grove]

ive still got hope

[topaz stag]

Added

[bright osprey]

Loooking for a tube dac & amp combo for my hifiman aryas

It doesn't have to be tubes either

[tepid torrent]

Magni/Modi lol

I dont think you want tubes with those

Actually

Dont get anything at all, and wait until you can try shit

More worth your time and money

[bright osprey]

Understood

Oh also

I also wanted to know if I have both these speakers and headphones plugged into the schiit magni and Modi + stack

Will I be able to switch in between using both with the Modi button?

where would be the optimal place for a subwoofer

i just cant seem to get the right place in my room for optimal bass

[wintry mirage]

best spot i found was ontop of my windows 98 pc

probably not the best idea as the hdd is so old

[uneven crane]

I have a question about headphones that I want to buy, they have 80 ohms, I have a relatively new motherboard, would that be able to drive the headphones?

[buoyant vale]

dt770s suck

[white rampart]

How does optical audio compare to RCA or aux? I'm considering getting a speaker that supports optical.

[lean grove]

no you should be fine.

[lean grove]

RCA and AUX are analog signals. optical is digital.
in an analog signal, there is an electrical signal that is actually just musical sound waves turned into electric waves.

with digital, its the literal 1's and 0's of the music data being sent someplace else to be decoded.

so which ones better? if you're getting an analog source from someplace that might have a bad signal, like a computer that has a ton of hissing or humming or something, then you'd wanna use optical.

if you have something that is has a decent signal, then you can stick with RCA or AUX.

[white rampart]

Is the optical good for a gaming setup?

[lean grove]

optical will have zero impact on your gaming

[white rampart]

I mean for audio. I do also plan on connecting my PC to a TV sometimes for a home theater setup

[unique wind]

pc -> (hdmi) -> tv
tv -> (optical) -> speakers

set audio output to optical in tv settings

[foggy scarab]

Are AirPods good? If so, which version should I try? Ping with replies or I won’t see it

[unique wind]

airpods pro 2 have best in class noise cancelling and good enough tuning but i wouldn’t buy the regular airpods

[foggy scarab]

And judging by the skull emojis that’s a no. Any other recommendations for wireless earbuds then? Don’t criticize, please educate

[unique wind]

why do i even bother

[foggy scarab]

Well not from you, I see your message, and thank you for the input

The skull emojis from others mean there is some reason not to buy, but they aren’t saying why

I’ll look into the AirPods Pro 2

[fringe flume]

So im trying to get some earbuds with noise cancellation and decent audio for around 150 any recommendations

Noise cancelling comes first I already have decent headphones

[weak rapids]

💀

[molten lotus]

that's practically nothing

[weak rapids]

A toaster could drive em

[steel escarp]

a toaster cant even drive a knife

[fringe flume]

True

[foggy scarab]

Any good wireless earbuds? Preferably noise cancellation that I can turn on and off, good build quality, good sound, and decent battery. (Ping with responses)

[lean grove]

whats wrong with airpod pros

[foggy scarab]

Idk, someone (including you) gave me the skull emoji when I asked

So I assumed something is

[lean grove]

i skulled at the "ping for response, i won't respond."

[foggy scarab]

Oh ok

[lean grove]

airpod pros are goated

2's even more so

[foggy scarab]

That makes me feel a bit better

Thanks for the clarification on that

Around $200 new right?

Maybe a little less?

[lean grove]

last i checked its $250 and $200 on sale

[foggy scarab]

Damn

I can do that but yeesh

[lean grove]

used might also be a good option. the tips come with earwax filters so a fresh pair of tips should make them good as new

oh wait it is $200 new

[foggy scarab]

Alr, that’s not too bad

[lean grove]

hmmmm

i was right

but ig they're just on perma sale

or something

[foggy scarab]

I just got a new garmin, and I wanna be able to listen while on a run with it

do bone conduction headphones reach good iem quality?

[lean grove]

No

[molten lotus]

I can give you hearsay of what I've heard from others at must but afaik they are not there yet

[broken heath]

Anyone know a good $100 or less wired and wireless headphones

Wired has to be powered by 3.5 mm headphone jack

Cable must be replace able

[bronze sigil]

Hard case or silicone for ear buds case?

[lean grove]

campfire has some

[molten lotus]

hard case might get scratched by your keys

if you care about that then some pleather or silicone one might be better

[broken heath]

I need a pair of Bluetooth and wired headphones for $100 or less

Wired must be powered by 3.5 headphone jack

And for charge by usb type c

[bronze sigil]

Which one is much more "safe" though?

I'm assuming the hard case?

[molten lotus]

soft case

it will dampen any fall

hard case will stop erm

knife attacks targeting your in ears

soft case will protect against anything not actively applying stress in daily life

[lean grove]

https://campfireaudio.com/shop/dark-leather-case/

best of both worlds

[molten lotus]

you live in a cringe world

[lean grove]

mad cuz you're living in turkey

[molten lotus]

partially

also because its not round

which is cringe

ngl i want some sort of cover for the utws3 my keys are threatening it

[lean grove]

is there's a fiio tws adapter with a case

[molten lotus]

what

i mean probably somewhere in the depths of aliexpress

[lean grove]

the chargin case

[molten lotus]

that is what i want to cover yes

[lean grove]

ah

electrical tape

[molten lotus]

will duct tape do

[lean grove]

no because it doesnt conduct electricity

electrical tape does

[molten lotus]

thanks

[bronze sigil]

💀

[bronze sigil]

I see my pods getting nasty like shit after 3 months

[bronze sigil]

Lint

[lean grove]

lint

[molten lotus]

oh

[bronze sigil]

deuterium

[molten lotus]

it cant be that bad

[bronze sigil]

I'm tempted to get the hard case one

looks very cool

Fuck I can't choose

[molten lotus]

you will get scratches

rubber is the way

[bronze sigil]

Alright

Never mind that was just silly

[trim pecan]

Thoughts on Fiio k5 pro?

[molten lotus]

ewaste

[tepid torrent]

FiiO tries to make a good product (impossible)

[haughty girder]

too expensive for what it is

if you can get it for about 50 bucks then sure

any more and you're better off with other options

[trim pecan]

Oopsies I asked for it for my birthday

It’s gonna go with my hd6xxs so it’ll prolly be fine ?

[tepid torrent]

You couldve asked for a magni and modi or something instead

or

[trim pecan]

Yeah it’s too late for that

[tepid torrent]

Yea

Di you already order it

[trim pecan]

My family already bought it

[tepid torrent]

You didnt get it online?

[trim pecan]

They ordered it off my Amazon list

[tepid torrent]

You can cancel amazon orders

[trim pecan]

I didn’t order it I’m not even supposed to know I’m getting it

[haughty girder]

eh, that's fine then

it'll do just fine

it's got plenty of power, and if you're not a particularly picky listener it'll sound no diff from anything else

[haughty girder]

it's fine

[turbid grove]

Hi, can you recommend a low-noise mid-range XLR cable for microphone?

[molten lotus]

Hi, looking for a audio "mixer" like the beacn mix any recommendations

[open lily]

anything works

[turbid grove]

Hi, I used to have a no brand model ($5), recently got a branded model ($15) and it has 10dB less noise, was wondering if there's a difference to go after a $100 model

in terms of having even less noise

[open lily]

where did you get that 10db number? did you test it yourself or?

[turbid grove]

Yes, while testing recording in the audition, with the same gain on the sound card, and then comparing them, I noticed the new cable has much less hiss noise and other high pitch noises.

and it was easier to remove noise because there wasn't as much as before.

[open lily]

any semi decent cable is gonna have okay shielding unless it's for a super long range

[turbid grove]

Oh, that could be a reason; my last cable was 3.5m and the new one is 2m

[open lily]

Amazon basics or equivalent would do fine, anything beyond that is

that length seems fine tbh

[turbid grove]

Could that 1.5m affect that much?

[turbid grove]

true, that's why I think some brands are better overall

[molten lotus]

that much doesn't matter

sounds like one of the cables is damaged

[turbid grove]

How could I test that? because it may happen overtime and it adds some noise but you won't notice much until you get a brand new cable

[molten lotus]

it's just a loose contact somewhere

the cable probably broke of stress or had a manufacturing error

it might be difficult to tell whether a cable is broken or not from the sound of it, i recommend just recording something now and taking note of the gain and using that recording for comparison in the futute

[turbid grove]

I see when I touch the part that goes to the mic, it makes some more noise. Are they repairable?

[molten lotus]

maybe

if the connector isn't filled to the brim with glue, you can resolder it

but if its the cable that broke and not a solder, the odds are you will need to replace the entire cable

and solder the connectors back

Hi, looking for a audio "mixer" like the beacn mix any recommendations

[molten lotus]

x touch mini with midi mixer software

funktioniert dat auch mit Mac

[turbid grove]

It looks like this

[molten lotus]

no it is just a mixer

[molten lotus]

you can take off that plastic bit on the right too

[molten lotus]

thanks

just pull it back, it will come off

[turbid grove]

Yes

It seems their all connected

[molten lotus]

might be the other end then

or the cable

[turbid grove]

I can't put it back now 👀

[molten lotus]

lol

you will figure it out

[turbid grove]

Yes!

[molten lotus]

sry doesnt have to do anything with audio but could someone look at this https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1127916139549306940

$160

i love how cheap shit is now

[trim pecan]

K thanks

I’ve only ever owned bad gaming headsets so I probably won’t notice anything anyway

[foggy scarab]

I went from shitty stuff to turtle beach stealth 600 (which many people here would also say is shitty) to Astro a40s, and aside from turtle beach being uncomfortable, they were pretty good to me

The A40s are comfy, and sound better than the turtle beach too

[trim pecan]

a40s are shit

ive owned a pair and Id rather use apple earbuds

[foggy scarab]

To someone who’s only had shitty headphones, a40s are the lesser of my evils

[trim pecan]

yeah im looking foward to my hd6xx's

rn im running cloud 2;s and they are kinda sharp sounding

[foggy scarab]

Good for gaming?

Lmk

[trim pecan]

i will ive heard they are pretty decent

[molten lotus]

they are alright for gaming

better than hifiman for sure

[foggy scarab]

Yeah, I only hear “get this and don’t get that” from this chat’s main contributors, so I like to hear from other people too

[molten lotus]

not as good as beyer shit

[molten lotus]

i don't think our contributions worked given you got the a40

[foggy scarab]

Any good ones sub $150 for gaming?

[molten lotus]

dt880 250ohm

[trim pecan]

yeah I was gonna get a50's glad I decided on the hd6xx's

[foggy scarab]

I got them over a year before I joined this discord, almost 2 I think

[molten lotus]

hd560s, worse for gaming but better in sound imo

[molten lotus]

my bad then

[foggy scarab]

No, you’re fine. I was a stupid kid who googled “best headphones 20xx” and looked for one that was cheap and high-ish up

[trim pecan]

ive head the EPOS PC38X are very good for gaming but ive never used them so I dont know

[foggy scarab]

If I had discord at the time, or knew about this place, I would’ve asked here

[molten lotus]

if it pleases you a40 are better than most of the wireless gaming trash

[molten lotus]

that is a good choice but only if you need a headset, hd560s are a better option if not

[foggy scarab]

A50 are the wireless ones, double the price of a40s usually ($300 for a50s)

[molten lotus]

you have the a50?

[foggy scarab]

No

I wanted them for quite awhile, but they are expensive

And don’t want them anymore cause there’s better options

[trim pecan]

yeah I was gonna buy a50s

[lean grove]

A60

[trim pecan]

but only for an extra like 40$ im getting hd6xx's and a dac/amp

[foggy scarab]

I bought a used (or refurb I can’t remember) pair at a pawn shop and they were comfy AF, but I couldn’t figure out how to connect them to my Xbox well

They sounded good but I couldn’t get them to stay connected

[trim pecan]

u need the dock it comes with and you plug that into the xbox

prolly cuz they were used pawnshop headphones

[foggy scarab]

Yeah, I was probably just a stupid kid tbh

[foggy scarab]

Naw, they were in very beautiful condition (looks-wise) and I could get them to connect sometimes

But then it would stop giving audio all together and I’d mess with it, and it would work temporarily

[nimble cobalt]

Going from no dac/amp to an audio interface is a noticable improvement

[tawdry shadow]

GUYS Arctic’s nova 3 or Arctic’s pro + gamedac wired

[glad creek]

Either go for that or maybe look at the audeze Maxwell because it is really good

[molten lotus]

Hi! How do I make it so the same audio source is being played on 2 different headsets? (My Razer Kraken X Lite and some samsung earbuds)
I want to record music and I don't have a sound card (My friend is helping me IRL)

Like he sits at the monitor and starts the recording, etc... with the samsung earbuds and I just sing in the mic with my headset

[thick python]

Guys I need some advice, I'm about to buy some wireless earbuds and I'm probably gonna get the jabra elite 7 pro/active

What I keep hearing though, no matter the brand, is that tws earbuds apparently have terrible mics. Being able to talk hands-free is the biggest reason I'm getting earbuds in the first place so I'm a bit lost.

[steel escarp]

Airpods pro 2

[thick python]

I use android, sorry should have mentioned that

[weak rapids]

Neither, if you are bound to gaming headsets, cloud 2, if you arent, pc38x, if you dont actually need a mic, hd560s

Also cause of prime day hd560s is on a decent sale

[molten lotus]

the latter is the worst headphone i have owned in my life

[near crater]

So I am using G773s currently but I was looking to upgrade my headphones to a DTT 770 Pro 250ohm what should I get for an Amp? I was suggested a Schiit (still can't get over the name)

Or does someone have a better suggestion in the same price point

[bronze sigil]

Just got my buds 2

how do I check if it's real

[near crater]

Samsung bud 2?

[bronze sigil]

Yes

[near crater]

I can compare my new ones when I get out of work in like 13 hours lol

I have the olive ones to match my phone

[molten lotus]

avoid dt770

and you don't necessarily need an amp for it

can't

👍

if it was a 3.5 one you could purchase an audio mixer

or use instrument input of an audio mixer

uhhh

plausible but I don't know how you would do that exactly

and it might be expensive if it requires you to buy preamps

[dawn cosmos]

Are there any good wireless gaming headphones for 120$?

[tawdry granite]

Any cheep XLR mic setup recommendations for prime day maybe the wave DX only 65£

[exotic yacht]

hows the battery life on em

[tawdry shadow]

u think i shoiuld get cloud 2?

[umbral charm]

Is it worth buying USB type c earphones or do I just go wireless?

Only thing is last time I bought wireless they didn't last very long and stopped charging after about a week or 2

[violet socket]

my personal theory is I only go wireless with stuff if I have to because it's just more shit that can break and shorten something's lifespan

unless the batteries are replaceable in which case whatever

[umbral charm]

I don't mind wireless but I just need to get a pair with good quality and lifespan cos my past experiences with wireless haven't been great

Depends on which is better to get (earphones or headphones)

Don't actually know any good pairs of wireless earphones or headphones though since I have rarely bought em
