$25 tws that are actually tuned

i wonder why the amazon reviews are bad imma read them

they have three bass levels u can choose from too

[last turret]

buenos dias

how to reduce noisey speakers?

using xlr, an external interface and pc (which is causing the interference has been put on a different electrical group in my house. The latter helped considerably but did not get it to where its supposed to be

any tips?

inb4 faraday cage around my pc

[lean grove]

Are your speakers powered or passive?

[last turret]

powered

[lean grove]

Which ones do you have?

[last turret]

when there is no signal to the speakers they hiss on their own

inb4 getting lynched

[lean grove]

Oh. No way to fix that I'm afraid

[last turret]

krk classic 7

[lean grove]

Only thing you can do is put them further away from yourself

[last turret]

put my pc in another room I guess

or that

[lean grove]

No

PC isn't the problem

[last turret]

it is

the moment I turn it off

[lean grove]

It's the electronics inside the krk's

Oh huh?

[last turret]

and produce a signal

so they arent in stand by

its fine

its a decently powerful pc but even not on load

apparently they are known to be fucky wucky when it comes to dc interference and magnatic fields

[lean grove]

Well yes but I don't think they could project a significant level of emf from several feet away

Like within a few inches of your psu, CPU, or GPU yeah I could see that

[last turret]

well I dindt either

but it does

ive tested the speakers in the living room with another source

[lean grove]

Does the noise change if you move your PC closer

[last turret]

which is fine

im not going to move my pc around when its on

😄

also

[lean grove]

Then move the cables and the speakers instead

[last turret]

I can literally hear the hiss fade when I turn it off

interface is still on

[lean grove]

It might be the electrical ground between the speakers and the computer

[last turret]

that would be the mains

i've considered that too

shitty grounding

[warm scarab]

what in the fuck

moondrop back in game?

[lean grove]

Well there's a common connection between your computer and your speakers through your interface and USB

[last turret]

id be surprising but possible, do you happen to know how to test it without special equipment or do I just google it

[last turret]

its been powered off something else

and worked fine

the interface

too

also

[lean grove]

Idk then.

[last turret]

no cables plugged into the speakers

except power, still hisses

[lean grove]

Might need the faraday cage then

[last turret]

[lean grove]

I got something to recommend now ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[warm scarab]

really

[lean grove]

Idk if they're back in the game. Truthear are too good value for wired

[warm scarab]

we can actually recommend something to people who ask for 25$ in ears now

no longer the days of collectively making fun of people until they leave audio chat for expecting 30$ tws

[tepid torrent]

And then they come back in a month when they suddenly find out why its $25

[warm scarab]

its a part of the process

[tepid torrent]

[unborn gale]

is this too much internal space?

it's a speaker with 50mm drivers, which is also how wide the circles are

[lean grove]

what 50mm to inches. 10 inches?

[unborn gale]

I want to test out air pressure, idc about sound quality

2in

[lean grove]

oh i was thinking 50 cm

uh maybe. depends on the Vd

[unborn gale]

interior is 1 x 3 x 2.5in

it's not big of course, but would it be sufficient

since I'm just afraid that it would have too much space and I wouldn't be able to test out air pressure.

[lean grove]

what you could do is plug it into a subwoofer software and see what the airspeed of the port is

"port"

and only plug in one driver

please tell me this ananda nano not arya organic

[ornate linden]

it's organic

[unique wind]

this has genuinely ruined my day

[molten lotus]

Suprisingly my former JBLs scored better than the momentum 4 in rtings in quality audio, considering they are about half of the price

[tepid torrent]

Why are you suprised when a Hifiman Headphone looks like that

[fallen mulch]

Hi, I usually listen EDM, pop, bass-boosted songs. Which one is better choice to me: HD 280 PRO vs K361

[steel escarp]

Perfect

It only got a few small 12db treble peaks

How does everyone say it has less treble than arya stealth

Can't be arya organic

[oak surge]

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II Truly Wireless vs airpods pro 2?

I'm an iphone user and my previous earbuds is airpods 2, and the headphone im using now is dt770 pro

[steel escarp]

I probably get to listen to it next week

[steel escarp]

The Airpods Pro 2 is tuned miles better than those Bose earbuds

[oak surge]

I thought you can EQ with Bose app

[steel escarp]

The Bose look like an absolute mess without EQ. I don't think they'd bother making a preset that fixes to a good enough point it if they already have such lousy tuning out of the box.

[unique wind]

could be, who knows

ananda nano has really jacked upper treble like that

[molten lotus]

Tempted to buy some mdr-7506 just as a baseline

[unique wind]

O_O

dont do it

[molten lotus]

Gimme that flat line

[unique wind]

sir it is no bueno

[molten lotus]

I want a flat reference for educational purposes

[unique wind]

look at that channel imbalance man

and wonky distortion

sennheiser hd560s would be a much better option for what you want

[molten lotus]

[unique wind]

@molten lotus @lean grove @warm scarab i bought crinny reds

my iem collection grows

i wonder if ill like them more than my qkz x hbb khan

[warm scarab]

did you receive them

[unique wind]

nah just ordered em

they come sunday

[unique wind]

theoretically they should be better because they dont have any treble peaks (over harman) like khan does, but we’ll see if the decrease in bass bothers me

[blissful blade]

remember that audio quality and neutral sound levels are not the same.

theres other factors such as distortion and channel imbalance, but theres also the fact that neutral sound is boring for a lot of people

[warm scarab]

rtings is a meme

they use diffuse field as the treble target

and harman speaker target for the bass

[unique wind]

dont take rtings number scores as the word of god, just look at their measurements

[lean grove]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-and-jerry-point-pointing-going-inside-gif-25709356

[warm scarab]

but rtings target isn't neutral

[unique wind]

nils how are you feeling upon discovering the arya organic measurements

[lean grove]

Disappointed

But also relieved

Like learning that an abusive ex died from a tragic steam roller accident

[unique wind]

you can be relieved that your bank balance isnt being threatened anymore

@lean grove are you gonna grab $800 refurb arya stealth or are you in a committed marriage to your 6xx

you told me last time u wanted to grab a new headband for it

suspension strap 6xx would be baller

[lean grove]

I really gotta be tossing less money into headphones.

Like I've spent more money on headphones than speakers and speakers bring me way more joy.

[unique wind]

that is an extremely rational statement tbh

6xx are endgame headphones anyway

[lean grove]

Waiting for directiva r2 are taking 5 ever

I might just settle for dxt mons

Then get an shd studio, a couple of nice dacs, do an active crossover and idk what after that.

[glad creek]

I just need to buy new pads for my hd 600 and continue spending everything on speakers

[unique wind]

maintain diamond hand nils status

hold

[molten lotus]

One day I won’t be in a 600sq ft apartment and can dabble with speakers

Unfortunately buying a house right now is a smoothbrain move

[lean grove]

Dxt's are gonna be 80% of the way to the directivas. No bass directivity but uses same drivers and doesn't need to be a 3 way

[molten lotus]

Is the difference that huge?
I’m just using an AT vinyl player through a generic sony stereo and generic sony floor standers

[lean grove]

Well the directivas are able to do something that only one or two other speakers can do, which is have controlled dispersion down to 200hz.

I think the dxt mons are down to 500

[molten lotus]

Mmm, to google I go

[warm scarab]

do it

at least you will acquire minor soldering abilites

[warm scarab]

vinyl player doesn't really matter

what stylus you got

[molten lotus]

Just the generic cheap audiotechnica one
Pre-amp is built in too

[warm scarab]

lowkey bruh

ath makes some good cartridges here and there

you could upgrade to a higher end one

[warm scarab]

assuming your player has a counterweight and removable cart

[molten lotus]

I will eventually when I’m not in an apartment and using a generic sony 5.1 system

Cat’s a bigger audiophile than I am

[molten lotus]

Definitely not counterweighted, it’s just an AT-LP60

Can’t find them

[warm scarab]

[warm scarab]

akg is not on usa amazon generally

for no real reason

[unique wind]

Thing is still bright as shit on a GRAS rig

[lean grove]

I think we all looked at the treble and just gave up the hype.

[ornate linden]

sounds like you just gotta power it properly

That'll fix the +10db peaks

[warm scarab]

for real tho

[unique wind]

no one

we were hoping it would be good and then it wasnt

[tough grove]

I need help. My Cloud Alpha makes echo in Discord. They hear people talking ingame and videos i watch

[lean grove]

Might be poor shielding between the mic and the headphones. Idk a good way to fix that without just getting an external mic.

[tough grove]

Poor shielding?

[lean grove]

At some point the electrical signal for your headphones is bleeding into your mic. You've got a wire for your mic and a wire for your headphones going to the same place. I think the problem is the wires for those aren't properly separated.

They might be touching someplace, it might be going through the ground connector, idk

But this is a problem with a lot of gaming headsets.

@unique wind https://newatlas.com/wearables/creative-xmems-solid-state-microspeakers/

[molten lotus]

Piezo and silicon membranes? Sounds dope

[unique wind]

im so ready

[lean grove]

There's no way we can be disappointed twice in a row

[rocky spruce]

If i were to get a amp for 250 ohm dt880, would the Sound quality increase by à noticable différence ?

[scenic thicket]

YOOOOOOOOOO

R these good?

[lean grove]

Depends on your ears.

[rocky spruce]

I did notice à big improve ment when getting the Headset, but eh, i aint quite à good listener

[lean grove]

Higher impedance headphones are less impacted by an amp. Since the amp sees them as easier to power.

But I guess it also depends on the amp.

If you get a nice tube amp then it'll be a different experience than a clean measuring amp

[rocky spruce]

I dont understand everything you just said

[lean grove]

How much are you paying for them?

[scenic thicket]

300

[lean grove]

You got the 32 ohm, 250 ohm, and 600 ohm versions, right?

When you have a lower ohm the headphones can be changed more by the amp. When you have a higher ohm it's less reliant on the amp. The amp has an easier time doing high ohm so it doesn't struggle as much. And the struggle is what usually changes the sound. And that comes through as distortion and output impedance.

[rocky spruce]

Okay now i do understand

[lean grove]

But amps can still change sound even with high impedance stuff, but it's gonna be subtle

[rocky spruce]

But i think that ill be fine whitout àn amp then

[lean grove]

If you're happy with what you have now there's not much reason to upgrade.

[lean grove]

Have you looked at the audeze Maxwell

[scenic thicket]

No

[scenic thicket]

Should I?

[lean grove]

Yeah. Take a look at it.
It's the best wireless headset on the market right now.

The only two downsides is that it doesn't have ANC and its a bit heavy. But everything else is way better than the xm5.

[scenic thicket]

Link

[lean grove]

Is Google broken?

[molten lotus]

This is the third time they’ve asked about these Sony headphones today

[haughty girder]

for ANC? yea

for sound quality? sucks

actually quite bad

[scenic thicket]

Who is they?

[unique wind]

(we will be)

[wicked dagger]

These Nissan speakers are somehow surprisingly bassy for how pathetic that magnet is

[lean grove]

Magnet alone won't determine how much bass they'll have

[unique wind]

soon

[molten lotus]

Not to mention it’s using the trunk as an “infinite” baffle

[haughty girder]

Midbassy no doubt, seeing how thin those wires look

[exotic schooner]

who knew that mcintosh made car radios?

[unborn gale]

when the radio costs more than the car itself

[exotic schooner]

it was pulled out of a 2003 subie outback
the radio itself doesnt even have a amp built into it
it was mounted under the passanger seat!

[winter narwhal]

Got these yesterday for 350 bucks

[scenic thicket]

Do u like them?

[winter narwhal]

Yes I do. The sound quality is good, and the noise canceling is excellent

[scenic thicket]

Do they fall off easily or r they secure if your like working out?

[winter narwhal]

They are very comfortable and secure and light which is pretty amazing

[winter narwhal]

How about getting a Sony WF-1000XM5?

[scenic thicket]

Out a scale 1/10 how much do u recommend

[winter narwhal]

9. Sound quality is not excellent, it's good though. Considering the overall price, it's a great product.

[warm scarab]

its worse than the n700nc m2 and also more expensive

so what gives

[exotic schooner]

its pretty hard to make headphones sound bad

[warm scarab]

what

[exotic schooner]

huh

[molten lotus]

Lol then make your own

[warm scarab]

huh to you

yeah chinese oems are 1$ a piece

go mad

[lean grove]

It's incredibly easy to make headphones sound bad wym

[warm scarab]

infinite phones

[unborn gale]

that's not really true...

[winter narwhal]

Better ANC, Better comfort, more features

[lean grove]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-and-jerry-point-pointing-going-inside-gif-25709356

[warm scarab]

what

it has same features

and equivalent anc

[exotic schooner]

its pretty hard to make headphones sound bad "if they are not cheap shitty ones" i should of clarified

[unborn gale]

still wrong

[warm scarab]

I can count headphones in thousands that sound like ass

[unborn gale]

I speak from experience too

[molten lotus]

If features and anc matter that much then you shouldn’t buy anything other than airpod maxs (if you use ios)

[unborn gale]

as in designing them

[scenic thicket]

“It’s hard to make headphones sound bad if they don’t sound bad”

yes exactly

[warm scarab]

why do you need any of this?

[molten lotus]

Use one of your phone’s 17 mics for speech to text

[winter narwhal]

Sony is 1st~3rd in the headphone market in terms of Anc. Sony is definitely ahead in terms of Anc

[warm scarab]

it isn't though

there are literal measurements of this on the internet

what are you on about

[molten lotus]

Marketing

[unborn gale]

pretty sure Bose is leading in terms of ANC

[warm scarab]

and this ^

dudes be supplying us military their anc technology

[winter narwhal]

Spatial audio gives you a better experience, automatic ambient sound switch is a pretty nice feature

[warm scarab]

spatial audio is a shitty gimmic that equalizes sound to make it worse and feel more 3 dimensional

[winter narwhal]

Yeah and apple

[molten lotus]

It absolutely does not

[unborn gale]

yeah it sounds like shit

[molten lotus]

Spacial audio is fine for 5.1+ movies but anything else no

[warm scarab]

spatial audio is fine for 5.1

when your spatial audio setup consists of 5 speakers and 1 subwoofer

[warm scarab]

aka 5.1

being an expert yourself which do you think is the n700nc m2 and is the xm5

[molten lotus]

🦗

[winter narwhal]

Rtings review show that the wh 1000xm5 have poor anc. Soundguys show the other way. It may be because of the auto ai anc feature or outdated firmware. Rtings say that the Wh 1000xm4 is better than the xm5 which is interesting

[warm scarab]

they have measurements of it

[lean grove]

Just get etys

Unparalleled noise cancelling

[warm scarab]

soundguys don't have measurements of it

I am not sure what you are comparing

[warm scarab]

that's not cancelling silly

[molten lotus]

Just turn up the volume ez

[lean grove]

It uses brute force rather than fancy tech. the sound is still being cancelled.

[warm scarab]

it isn't

its being isolated

[lean grove]

If I isolated you on a desert island so far away that I couldn't hear you talk that would be as good as glueing your mouth shut.

[winter narwhal]

Isn't this the measurement?

[warm scarab]

that is the xm5

there isn't any for n700nc m2

which I argued to be better

[cobalt sparrow]

my earholes have been widened after using them

would recommend, im still practically deaf but at least I can be deaf knowing im not harming my hearing anymore than it is by keeping volume low

[hard junco]

Quick question. I have a Focusrite Scarlett Solo, and am wondering if the Lines out are powered for speakers? and if so do they run at the same time as the headphones? or can I swap between

[cobalt sparrow]

usually line out is for stuff with amps, like active speakers or going right into an amp

so a probably yes

[hard junco]

ok. I was just thinking about getting some speakers so I wouldnt always need to use my headphones

[cobalt sparrow]

I dont know if it'll run concurrently tho

[hard junco]

It might be fine, as if I get powered ones, I would be able to turn them off at any given point. so that would work

[winter narwhal]

Yeah but the xm5 results are different which means rtings may had a bad fit or an outdated firmware. Just my thoughts

[warm scarab]

no they aren't

its just an inverted graph

[winter narwhal]

There is a 10db+ difference in the bass frequencies. Like if you look at the 100hz area soundguys show that it cancels around 30db while rtings show that it cancels ~20db.

[warm scarab]

because they use different test tone?

if you use a 50dB test tone over a 60dB one you will have different results lmao

[winter narwhal]

This is the wh 1000xm4 which is impressive(among the top). Wh 1000xm5 had some problems around the first firmware release. Both was tested at a 90db sound source(though they may be different)

[warm scarab]

what are you trying to say

[winter narwhal]

I guess there was a problem with the wh 1000xm5's testing method or the firmware may have been the problem. Anyways I'm trying to say it's performing very great now

[warm scarab]

no there isn't

how have you come to that conclusion

[lean grove]

You should get some of that hole shrinking cream I've been seeing ads for

[winter narwhal]

Soundguys' measurement says that the ANC is great when it is fit well. They even showed a graph of the ANC when the fit is not that good in two scenarios, and the second one resembles Rtings' measurement a lot. And as a user who is using those headphones, they perform just great tbh

[inland bobcat]

got this pos working

[tough lava]

from a time when such things were fancy

[inland bobcat]

pretty sure it was very high end in the 90s

it has XLR connections

[tough lava]

oh damn

[inland bobcat]

[tough lava]

I'm running firewire interfaces 🙂

[inland bobcat]

My entire setup is kinda ghetto

Rats nest of cables

I daily the soviet microphone cause discord audio sucks and can't really tell difference between 50yr old mic and the studio mic

[tough lava]

my setup is far more complex than necessary!

[inland bobcat]

Baller

I'm just surrounded by ancient junk

All my stuff is RCA cause it was simple

[tough lava]

the mixer/interface was $100 aud 😄

[inland bobcat]

I paid that for the 8 track lol

Well usd

Getting harder to find working units

Even old CD players are getting expensive

That sony was free but it was also living in a garage for 10 years

[tough lava]

https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/003R--digidesign-003-rack

Just got one of those off eBay for $100 shipped!

[warm scarab]

those tests are taken tens of times in a labarotary

and averaged afterwards

they aren't something you can say "they probably measured wrong lol" about

[winter narwhal]

If the firmware or the fit was the problem, doing the tests multiple times in a lab would not help I guess. Actions like updating the firmware and re testing, changing the fit and retesting may help improve the accuracy though. Most reviews say that the xm5s have better noise canceling than the xm4s(though some says that the bass frequency noise canceling lacks than the xm4s, it is not that bad as the graph in rtings) so I wonder what's causing poor bass noise canceling for the rtings team.

[warm scarab]

airpod max also measures worse in rtings compared to soundguys

its almost like soundguys literally just inflates the scores of whatever item is more expensive then adds affiliate links to its post afterwards

[winter narwhal]

I just found that soundguys uses a 110db sound source when testing anc. This maybe the cause Ig

[warm scarab]

plausible

[spring venture]

Just watched the new HyperX cloud 3 video. Does anyone have other headphone recommendations or an upgrade within $200. Currently use the Cloud 2s but they are quite old and falling apart.

[wispy surge]

anyone help i want to get the DT770 pro 80ohms after a year and a half of finding the right headphone i made my decision. i like the closed back and there in my price range. But when i went to get them on amazon in UK. my luck the price has went up from £120 to £169. i can find the for £99 on amazon but thats used. anyone able to help me find

also i am playing on running them though my laptop jack or my hyperxUSB driver or my Logitech USB driver (i have alo of USB drivers from old headsets)

[warm scarab]

just get akg k371

direct upgrade to dt770

[wispy surge]

how, just intrestted after research i belive DT770 pro's are better

[warm scarab]

what is it you have researched

I don't know man, pretty obvious whichever is better to me

[molten lotus]

I am about to buy dt 770 80 ohm but i can't find an afforadble amp

[warm scarab]

just buy akg k371

that and dt770 doesn't need an amplifier

at least any variant that isn't 600 ohms

but its straight up an outdated headphone

[molten lotus]

will the quality be the same?

[warm scarab]

I mean every headphone will benefit from an amplifier but the investment isn't worth it for the dt770

the 100$ you can use to buy an amplifier is better spent buying better headphones

[molten lotus]

why isn't the dt 770 good?

[warm scarab]

because its directly worse than akg k361 and k371

it is a mass produced cheap durable studio headphone, it isn't trying to be a good headphone

[molten lotus]

so akg k361 is better than dt 770?

[warm scarab]

yes

and k371 has more sub bass than k361

which is generally nice

[molten lotus]

if i buy the k361 will it sound the same on onboard output rather than havung ana mp?

[warm scarab]

same as what

[molten lotus]

as an amp

[warm scarab]

I second you

every headphone will benefit from an amplifier

but that money is better off spending on headphones

unless you get into like the 500$ headphone zone, don't be concerned with an amplifier

[molten lotus]

will an amplfiier make the sound cleaner?

[unique wind]

no

[molten lotus]

wht then

im confuwed with amplfiiers

[warm scarab]

depending on amplifier

but such amplifiers don't come cheap

so

spend your money on better headphones instead

[molten lotus]

so i shoudl cancel my delivery of dt 770 and buy the k361?

[warm scarab]

yes you should

[molten lotus]

what is the diff with 361 and 371?

[warm scarab]

I already answered that a few messages back

[molten lotus]

are the 361 long last/

[warm scarab]

you can use them for 2-3 years if you treat them well

if that is a deal breaker you can get dt880

which is an open back but pretty good

/ alright

[molten lotus]

wait so the k361 doesn't last long but the dt's do last?

[warm scarab]

dt headphones are very long lasting

akg k371 will at best last 4 years

at very best

[molten lotus]

by how far is k361 better than dt 770?

[warm scarab]

decently better imo

you can also get dt880

which is subjectively to me, on par with k361

it will last as long as a dt770

and sound a lot better than it

has treble issues like the dt770 though, which tires out your ears

[molten lotus]

what headphones do you got you?

[warm scarab]

ath r70x and sundaras

latter which I don't recommend to anyone

simply outdated af

[molten lotus]

so the dt 880 is the best among the 2?

[warm scarab]

the ones I mentioned?

[molten lotus]

among all of me and u

[warm scarab]

no

r70x and sundara slaps the fuck out of all of them

they are far more expensive than either though

and the r70x benefits greatly from an amplifier, not something I'd recommend to anyone

and at which point you save up 350$ for sundaras, you are better off going for xs anyways

[molten lotus]

why do you not reccomend people to get an amplfieR?

[warm scarab]

amplifiers are worth it when you are buying headphones that cost like 400$ and above

not when you are buying 100$ headphones

good amplifiers start at 100 usd themselves anyways

[molten lotus]

which headphone shas better treble?

k361 or dt 770?

[warm scarab]

k361 easily

[molten lotus]

i read k361 that the pads its got is too thin

[warm scarab]

dt series have terrible treble generally

[warm scarab]

maybe

I am commenting sound wise anyways

[molten lotus]

so the k361 has better image sound?

[warm scarab]

dt770 is slightly better id say

[molten lotus]

so im confused which one is better for games generally

[warm scarab]

it's not really a difference that matters

they both work well regarding games

[molten lotus]

im confused on peoples reviews some say it's comfortable but some say it's not on the k361

[warm scarab]

because humans have different head shapes

what is comfortable to you might not be to someone else

[molten lotus]

so is shuld go for k361 correct?

[warm scarab]

sound wise absolutely

but it will not last as long as dt770

[molten lotus]

is the ATH-M40x better than k361?

[warm scarab]

if you don't mind open backs dt880 is a good middleground

[warm scarab]

hell no

terrible headphone

[molten lotus]

what exactly is a headphone treble since i am not fluent in englihs

[buoyant vale]

are we playing "ask if every headphone on the market is better than every other headphone on the market" again?

[molten lotus]

i was curiou cuz somebody said it is better than that

[molten lotus]

@warm scarab ^

[warm scarab]

it is the region of frequencies from around 10khz to 20khz

well, even if it isn't, that is what treble is used to describe in headphones anyways

[molten lotus]

will the treble be bad if its not on high volume?

[warm scarab]

no

there is an appropriate amount to be had

[molten lotus]

on the k361 what exact or around which part will it get slowly too used the pads?

[warm scarab]

I don't understand what that means

[molten lotus]

on the use after 3-4 years and they get damaged what will eb the problem of them

like in general the volume will nto be the same?

[warm scarab]

they will not last 3-4 years

the headband will snap

well

they might last if you treat them super well

but 4 years is the hard limit id place

[molten lotus]

the headband is the thing that supports it to wear ti correct?

nvm i found what you meant

[molten lotus]

how long do the 770 normally last?

[warm scarab]

ive seen it last 30 years lol

but like

[buoyant vale]

there is probably stil some kicking around from the 80s

[warm scarab]

literally get the dt880 instead

[buoyant vale]

but they sound like ass

[wispy surge]

@warm scarab

I made this, data is from watching reviews and different website reviews

[warm scarab]

Congratulations

It is objectively false

There are quite literal measurements of either headphones using the harman over ear target and how they compare to it

Because some random reviewers shilled a 50 year mass produced headphone that wasn't even good at the time of it's release, does not make it a better choice over anything

and you are going off of literal amazon ratings lmfao

its almost like different items have different audiences with different standards

[wispy surge]

i have figgured out the over all is wrong, BUT the wrest of the numbers work

[warm scarab]

they don't

[buoyant vale]

there are glowing amazon reviews of k92

[warm scarab]

you are still objectively false because these are meaningless numbers

gtx970 has better amazon reviews than 4090

so gtx970 > 4090?

[buoyant vale]

obviously

[warm scarab]

thought so

[wispy surge]

i just put the amazon reviews in their, to see. the other numbers though

[warm scarab]

all these kids with their ryzen 7800x3d

good ol intel core duo 💪

[warm scarab]

For starters you can start learning what headphone measurements are then compare these items for yourself

A brief video on what frequency response will explain to you most you need to know

[wispy surge]

fine for a about 14 hour daily use, over ear, closed back, really good sound quality, under £135? what are your top 3

[warm scarab]

While frequency response isn't the entire story when it comes to hat makes a headphone, it is a good starting point

[warm scarab]

nothing at that price

[buoyant vale]

closed back
good

[warm scarab]

this ^

there is emu teaks and shit

or high end focals

but that is like 500$ and 1000$ region at least

[wispy surge]

i think your talking rubbish

[warm scarab]

even then they get btfod by any open back

[wispy surge]

what about semi-open?

[warm scarab]

better off

dt880 is a good option if you are absolutely set on buying beyers

[buoyant vale]

there is either open or closed
semi open is justt open

[warm scarab]

dt880 250ohm

[warm scarab]

sort of this

but semi has better isolation and less bleed tbh

[wispy surge]

also you suggested AKG K371 which is closed back for under £135

[warm scarab]

yes

[wispy surge]

you said you couldn't get good over-ear closed back under £135

[warm scarab]

yeah it isn't good

its alright

dt770 is just bad

[wispy surge]

what do you use

[warm scarab]

r70x and sundara

[unique wind]

are there any closed backs that are genuinely good

[molten lotus]

cuz of the ear "bleeding"?

[warm scarab]

no

its just a rollercoaster of measurements

[wispy surge]

@warm scarab the expert says no

[unique wind]

crinacle reds just solo every closed back headphone for $55

[warm scarab]

iems don't have over ear dynamics

but yeah they are better overall to me too

[unique wind]

they dont, youre right, but if you want an actually nice soundstage presentation youll want open backs anyway

[warm scarab]

true

[wispy surge]

i need something over-ear, closed back and really nice audio quality, my hyperxcloud 2 are falling apart

[warm scarab]

open bar iems

[warm scarab]

why do you need closed backs

[unique wind]

truly open back iem when

that would be cool

[wispy surge]

i sit in a public space, with people not far away

[molten lotus]

didn’t sony have those linkbuds

[wispy surge]

thing is you say DT770 are bad BUT your using r70x and Sundara, so obviously their not going to go to that standard but idk that standart i use a hyper X cloud 2

[unique wind]

i dunno

[warm scarab]

I don't follow

[unique wind]

weird lookin

[warm scarab]

but dt770 is bad not because I am using good headphones

they are bad because they fucking suck compared to k371

they fall behind in their own price category

[unique wind]

the problem with dt770 is the hole in the frequency response at 200hz

[warm scarab]

and the bass bump at high bass

[unique wind]

it makes everything sound like it's playing on speakers far away in an echoey room

[warm scarab]

and the treble peak

[unique wind]

the 80ohm doesnt have the upper bass hump it has a hole

it kinda looks like a shit attempt at harman

[wispy surge]

if you where going to review the hyperx cloud 2 what would you say @warm scarab

[unique wind]

oh no it does have the hump and a hole lmao

[warm scarab]

yeah lol

[warm scarab]

considering its like 60$ and a headset, alright

[unique wind]

i do think dt770 is massively overhated, its not as horrible as everyone acts

but i wouldnt buy it when akg k371 exists

[warm scarab]

its pretty bad man

i put it on at a demo room

listened for 20 seconds

took it off lmao

[wispy surge]

compare the head set to the DT770

[unique wind]

nvm oratory used 250ohm

crinacle didnt measure a hump on the 80 like i thought

[warm scarab]

cloud 2 might be better tbh

in all honesty

[molten lotus]

FUCK that 4k dip

[warm scarab]

I remember having a good time with the cloud 2 contrary to dt770

[unique wind]

cloud2 has a 4k dip too

[warm scarab]

yeah

[wispy surge]

fine compare teh cloud 2 to the AKG K371

[warm scarab]

it doesn't sound like a tin can though

[warm scarab]

not on the same level

k371 slaps

[wispy surge]

ye but you copared the Cloud 2 and DT770, so compar teh Cloud 2 and AKG K371 like which is better

[warm scarab]

I don't follow

I already said k371 multiple times

as other people in the chat also have

[molten lotus]

Duck it, just buy some airpods max /s

[unique wind]

k371 probably sounds pretty satisfying

especially if you like bass

[molten lotus]

If I can’t listen to the Belle soundtrack and get goosebumps idc

[unique wind]

have u been using ur reds?

mine come tomorrow im hype

[molten lotus]

Yes
Very very good for the price

I’m struggling to pick an eartip that fits my left ear properly though ngl

[unique wind]

wonky ear moment

[wispy surge]

https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tools/compare/beyerdynamic-dt-770-pro-vs-akg-k371/440/1671?usage=19&threshold=0.10

[molten lotus]

Real.
It’s an actual problem on my ship when I need in ear protection

My left ear is a pain in the dick to get to seal properly for some reason

[warm scarab]

lmao rtings

[molten lotus]

I saw a review once on there that docked points because “not wireless”
Last time I looked there

[warm scarab]

guys did you know

when you disregard harman treble target

instead use the diffuse treble target

and the harman fucking speaker target bass for measuring headphones

your score becomes unreliable

:O

almost like

[wispy surge]

so DT770 have better Frequency Response Consistency and Bass Accuracy and Mid Accuracy and Passive Soundstage

BUT

[warm scarab]

They don't

you aren't reading the measurements

you are reading scores

the scores are established by using measurement targets literally not meant for headphones

[molten lotus]

Also seriously don’t use rtings

[warm scarab]

No do use it

but if you are going to use it

[wispy surge]

AKG K371 has better Treble Accuracy and Imaging

[warm scarab]

actually look at graphs and not some random ass score

Raymond you are reading meaningless information

[molten lotus]

Garbage in garbage out

[wispy surge]

well your not helpfull becuse when i ask about a head phone you go "NO thats trash" and "you dont get a good headphone for that price" but dont give a alternative. you said AKG K371 but then you say "you cant get a good sound quailty and closed ear headset for under £500"

[warm scarab]

I am helpful to those who try to understand statements rather than attempting to refute them by reading random rtings scores

I said you can't get closed good backs compared to open backs

You asked me "then k371 are bad but you said good"

[wispy surge]

i wasent comparing them to open

i never said i want open

[warm scarab]

which I replied to they are just better than dt770

they aren't good either

they are alright

and that dt770 are just straight up bad

[warm scarab]

and did I say you wanted opens

I said I compared them to

[wispy surge]

okay so your suggestion you gave "isn't good" but is better than what i suggested

[warm scarab]

Yes

Exactly

It is the best your money can get you within the parameters you submitted to us to our knowledge

[wispy surge]

so can you give me a suggestion that is "good" and not "isn't good"

[warm scarab]

Okay

E-mu teak

[wispy surge]

can you give me a suggestion that is "good" and not "isn't good" but is in a £150 price range.

[warm scarab]

I can't

k361 and k371 is the best closed backs I know of in the parameters you gave me

maybe get in ears like michael

[wispy surge]

no i want over ear i dont like in ears. what do you consider "good"

[warm scarab]

Something that doesn't lack

or lacks less than others

akg k371 has a lacking stage and layering

raymond we aren't getting anywhere

k371 is the best you can buy as far as closed backs go to my knowledge

even if you question me for 30 minutes my knowledge isn't going to grow

like take it leave it man

[wispy surge]

i think i am gona go for the DT770 Pro

[warm scarab]

okay great

[buoyant vale]

Bro really wants to be lofi

[molten lotus]

Are there any cheap mid/hifi closed backs

[unique wind]

akg k371

[molten lotus]

Good to know
All the closed backs I have are feature driven headphones
Still, I like my plantronics

[buoyant robin]

Is this the place to ask about headsets?

Or is this for fancy high end audio stuff

[buoyant robin]

I guess I could have clicked on the channel name lol sorry I’m on mobile and it’s one extra click and I was lazy.

Was curious if any one here has a large head and if they have found. Headphones that fit there large head. I’m currently using articus pro wireless but I’m getting a headache as the bad is a little tight, I have what may be described as an extra large head

[steel escarp]

low-fi moment

[tepid torrent]

That is exactly what is not good

[candid cosmos]

They are a Solid choice for the money tbh

[tepid torrent]

What

Bro has been watching too much dankpods

[candid cosmos]

Im not watching any Audio YouTube channel

[tepid torrent]

Dont say things

[candid cosmos]

Lmao

Are they that expensive outside germany?

[buoyant vale]

no but they suck no matter where you are

[steel escarp]

DT770 is dogshit

the only solid thing is the build. but what is a well build piece when the sound is bad

[molten lotus]

is it that big of a difference?

[steel escarp]

I owned them unfortunately

they sound completely dead

[molten lotus]

do you own the k361's now?

[candid cosmos]

I only have the dt990 tbh, but listened to the 770.

Id say the negative Part is the build quality tbh -

[steel escarp]

I dont own it. I dont have closed backs anymore

[unborn gale]

what's the difference between 361 and 371?

[candid cosmos]

I dont like closed backs either.

[steel escarp]

the brightness iirc

[unborn gale]

huh

[warm scarab]

latter has more sub bass

same otherwise

[unborn gale]

ah

sounds like the 371 is better then

[warm scarab]

it's a healthy amount of bass too

not some random 200hz hump

[steel escarp]

k361 seem more shouty

[warm scarab]

grey they are identical save for bass

[steel escarp]

lol

guess the rigs are rigged

[warm scarab]

why do they vary so much lmao

[lean grove]

Nature of relying on a seal and different rigs

[silent badger]

What some apps or even settings. I could use for removing keyboard and mouse audio its fine for streaming/discord or what not but shadowplay for clips I often hear mouse and keyboard and I am wondering how I can remove that. I am using a hyperx quadcast S

[unique wind]

pipe your microphone through OBS using virtual cable input/output and youll be able to use OBS noise suppression and other plugins in real time

[lean grove]

you want a software that offers some type of noise gate. OBS has one im pretty sure

[candid cosmos]

It has, a relatively powerful one even

[unique wind]

@lean grove @warm scarab do u guys know where conpin went

i cant even find his acc

[lean grove]

i send him a fr

[warm scarab]

banned like me maybe

[unique wind]

[molten lotus]

Wonder why

[lean grove]

Rip

[silent badger]

I ended up fixing it I just used nvidia broadcast and set mic to that

I didn’t realize I hadn’t set it in shadowplay it was default mic so it wasnt using the noise suppression on that

[haughty girder]

it can get a little bit but it's usually fine

[unique wind]

neither should seem shouty thats weird

[buoyant robin]

What is shouty?

Like what does that mean, not the headphones your reference in

[versed pond]

Could someone help me pick some headphones? I need closed back, and my budget is $200 - $300. They'll mostly be for listening to music.

[lean grove]

Take a look at the audeze Maxwell

[versed pond]

Thanks

[weak rapids]

Ik they mentioned a decent budget but im honestly surprised at the wireless recommendation when someone didnt specifically ask for wireless lol

[lean grove]

It's still one of the better closed backs out there.

Like I can't think of anything besides of the akg k361/371 or the maxwells that I would recommend to anyone for closed backs

At any price.

[unborn gale]

was it the Fostex or something that make closed backs?

but they're vented and honestly don't really feel closed back

[lean grove]

Fostex has some yeah

But I wouldn't recommend them to someone new

[weak rapids]

dt700 pro x

[static acorn]

They’re fine with EQ

but obv 3k ish dip… 😭

[molten lotus]

looking for some budget speakers around like 60 dollars USD

[warm scarab]

higher frequencies being louder than what you would want it to be

creating a potentially more screechy sound

[haughty girder]

your brain is wonderful though. You can hear horribke audio and (eventually) get used to it.

It fills in the missing gaps and frequencies

as I found out recently when someone wanted me to boost them on their PC and they had skullcandy crushers

downright painful (sibilance) while playing valorant

but they thought it was good

[lean grove]

That's because they just don't know better.

Which is fine.

[haughty girder]

they don't know better is one thing, but they don't literally wince at the treble

meanwhile despite preferring a generally brighter signature, it was downright unbearable

[inland bobcat]

Radio stuff

Depending on your area and taste, second hand bookshelves are often best

[dry stratus]

Why?

[unique wind]

i miss u ur one of the ogs

[dry stratus]

No, u aren’t my gf

I have none anyway

Peak this year ended up being in june with about 28-34 for a few weeks with a long rain time after at 19-26 (26 was still bad with rain honestly, but needed because the grass started getting too dry and burnt ), last week was 27-31

A lot of rain this year honestly

Pretty nice, lol
Thank god no 2019-2021 again
(which had a lot of heatwaves, can find it when u look up 2019-2021 european heatwave)

[tough lava]

"audio"

[dry stratus]

Anyone wants to join me with my daily shot of olive oil?, need some calories

Anyway, I haven’t kept up with audio in a while, lol

[inland bobcat]

literally

[tough lava]

I mean, it isn't audio, but you can "play" it. and you can send/recieve it using the same tech

in the same way that a tape for a c64 isn't audio

[static acorn]

Kek look at Hifiman range

[unborn gale]

So I've been thinking

People talking about breaking into headphones and stuff by playing it

what if it's actually the headphones breaking into the person rather than the person breaking into the headphones?

As in the person getting used to the headphones and thinking they're actually good after the "break in" period

[molten lotus]

There might be some material science to it. Where certain sections of a driver flex easier after a little bit of use. I don't think the 10k hour break in is needed.

[tough lava]

It seems reasonable that after a moderate amount of use they would potentially be worn in, but imho it seems mostly like just... Bullshit

[wheat moss]

I really regret buying this cheap ass behringer umc22

[tough lava]

haha yes, they are shit

they are not cheap enough for how shit they are ... they exist in a liminal space where they are too expensive vs a "usb sound card" and too shit vs an actual interface - including behringers actual interfaces lie the UMC202HD, which is fine.

[wheat moss]

I needed an interface for my mic and couldn't quite justify something like a focusrite, and had to buy locally so I wouldn't have to wait to use the mic

nice Sennheiser E 845, my own cable made with Neutrik XX connectors and Mogami cable, and then this piece of crap sennheiser

kinda want to make my own interface, but it'd be a lot of work

[warm scarab]

focusrite scarletts are just worse than the umc22 so

[wheat moss]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-la-noire-meme-x-button-gif-19259237

[warm scarab]

what is your issue with umc22

scarletts are infamously bad

don't take my word for it if you want

you'd just be shooting yourself on the foot anyways

[wheat moss]

the preamp is just pure shit, and the headphone output is also rubbish. it only goes to 16 bit, 48kHz, the overall build quality is shit. the usb-b on the back is outdated af

[warm scarab]

huh

headphone out being 16 bit 48khz is shit?

and here I thought you had an actual problem lmfao

[wheat moss]

wtf even is a chungsheng xlr connector and why is it missing the damn lock

[warm scarab]

and the preamps are midas

[wheat moss]

no, there is an actual problem. it's a staticy mess and pops loudly when powered on or off, and also randomly at random times

[warm scarab]

its pretty damn alright

static is related to your computer's power and how you isolate the cord, no amount of spending money will fix that as long as its usb powered

the pop I can't say anything about, never encountered it

[warm scarab]

given ofc you don't spend money on a power conditioner

[wheat moss]

sure bud. because a 2i2 hat I borrowed worked perfectly

[warm scarab]

probably literally moved the cord away while installing it lmao

[wheat moss]

there ain't a single power chord anywhere near any of the cables

[warm scarab]

2i2 has red aluminum on it

it must surely be good

[warm scarab]

usb

[dry stratus]

Klaus

[warm scarab]

con pin

[wheat moss]

like I just said, there ain't a single power chord near any of it. the usb runs completely alone into the computer

the mic cable runs directly to the mic

and the headphone cable is also far away from anything else

and as I just said, I borrowed a 2i2 and it worked perfectly. direct swap in with the same cables, nothing moved

and that thing does 24 bit 192kHz

[warm scarab]

if it is as you said the only plausible explanation it you got a faulty unit

[warm scarab]

now go test between 192khz and 41khz

tell me how many days it takes you to hear a difference

[wheat moss]

have you actually owned a umc22 or are you just talking out your ass based on experience with other behringer models?
this isn't the only umc22 I know that does this. everyone I know that has ever had one has had the same experience

[warm scarab]

I own one yes

never encountered an issue of static

while it being surrounded by electronics

amplifiers, dac, 20 cords behind it

[buoyant vale]

[warm scarab]

I also had a focusrite and several of my friends do

to this day they fix their shitty ass drivers which break every two months

[wheat moss]

just curious, how long ago did you buy that umc22?

[warm scarab]

been like 3 years maybe

[wheat moss]

hm

[warm scarab]

did you use the supplied cord with the umc22

because it has a filter on it

which you want

[wheat moss]

yeah, I don't have usb fucking b chords laying around

[warm scarab]

fair lol

[wheat moss]

worst full sized usb connector

[warm scarab]

its still used because its durable af

little chance of actually breaking it anyhow

[molten lotus]

I’d take a usb b cord over a micro usb

Are the HD600s on the more “intimate” side of soundstage?

[lean grove]

Intimate yes but that's because they're more accurate.

[molten lotus]

Gotcha

In any case, back to the work, no more over ears for me for some months 😔

[weak rapids]

love my hd560s

[molten lotus]

Holy crap Qobuz’ download is slow

thoughts on HD600s or am I smoking nut

[warm scarab]

yes

I find them personally congested

and not a fan in general

but lots of people think otherwise too, you should try for yourself

[molten lotus]

I mean I own them and I've just never really vibed with them, but at least they're clear to me
I had some HD560s and absolutely hated them

[warm scarab]

tried any planars?

[molten lotus]

Only the Sundaras, wasn’t huge fan

Though I don’t remember if they were the open or closed back versions

[warm scarab]

not good headphones so normal

needs massive eq cope to be decent

try edition xs if you can

pretty good headphone

if you find it comfortable

[unique wind]

[molten lotus]

There’s not really anywhere to “try” these things in texas tbf

[unique wind]

“needs massive eq cope”

oh yeah my stuff comes today lemme go check

[warm scarab]

too sibilant by default because of the distortion and decay in the treble

[unique wind]

not too much longer

[molten lotus]

Hopefully you have better luck with the fit than I am

[warm scarab]

no such thing as an unfitting iem

such thing as insufficient eartips

[molten lotus]

And yet, none of them included are sufficient

[warm scarab]

normal

[fresh cargo]

None that came with my IEMs are a good fit. About to start looking for replacements. Any go to makes of tips worth starting with?

[warm scarab]

foam tips, triple flange tips

spinfits

triple flange will take adjusting though, but it is probably the most secure eartip you can find

you can also just go to ebay and buy some weird kit with like 20 different eartips in it for 10$

[fresh cargo]

Cheers will have a look.

[molten lotus]

Any good headphones for the gym or like cycling and activities like this? ( With good noise cancelling and good sound ) Also sweatproof.

Galaxy buds or airpods pros 🤷‍♂️

Ty!

[flat glade]

I finally got a pair of headphones Arctic nova 7 wireless I’m excited

Was like $40 off

[steel escarp]

full + thick + smooth sound gets boring after a while

maybe I gave everything too much body with EQ

honestly bass is the only thing I cant figure out how to EQ

[molten lotus]

Just spit on it

[unique wind]

the collection grows

i dont have my kbear ks2 box anymore but i had those too

@steel escarp @molten lotus @warm scarab @lean grove

i shall own every iem

[steel escarp]

you are literally wasting money on more lowfi

[molten lotus]

I tossed my waifu box in 3.9 seconds

[warm scarab]

why not just

[steel escarp]

what good is a lowfi collection

[warm scarab]

buy one good one

lmao

zeos wall

[steel escarp]

copium wall

[unique wind]

now i have 2 good ones

khan and red

[unique wind]

nooo

[molten lotus]

I buy for the sound, not the indeterminate age drawing

[unique wind]

the inside of the box smells like sharpie marker and there's no stickers

as for sound they have less bass but it's a good amount, and there's a bit less air than khan

using the tips amir used for measurements

pretty bang on fit for my ear

[molten lotus]

I’m using the ones on the right personally

[unique wind]

which row on the right column

[molten lotus]

Small for right ear, medium for left

[steel escarp]

I have 4 cables and they all sound different

[molten lotus]

L

[steel escarp]

bro its actually fucked

[molten lotus]

Bad cables?

[steel escarp]

no

I resistance checked them all

they are fine

[unique wind]

get one good one

zeos cable wall

lowfi cables

[steel escarp]

I dont know which one I like more

my thicker cable seems to somehow make my brain unable to process the sound

like all these things are happening in the song but everything feels cloudy

[lean grove]

Have you tried using better headphones

[steel escarp]

I will demo organic next week

and buy if they are good

[molten lotus]

They won’t be

[steel escarp]

what everyone says about them does not match up with the graphs that I saw in this channel

I will evaluate them for myself and form my own opinion as one should

[lean grove]

Aside from squiggles everyone who's gotten one has liked it

That I've seen at least

[molten lotus]

I’m glad
Fuck graphs this is too hard to read

[lean grove]

It's just a matter of experience

[steel escarp]

I am questioning the legitemacy of the graphs

[lean grove]

Gotta know how it translates into reality

[steel escarp]

I want a reputable reviewer to measure it

[lean grove]

How much more reputable can you get than a 5128

[steel escarp]

according to the graphs the organic is brighter than the he1000se

which does not match up with what anyone who reviewed it said

like how can every reviewer unanimously agree on that its the least bright arya revision yet

[tepid torrent]

Maybe other parts of the frequency response/fit issues can affect that

Or maybe they measured it wrong

[steel escarp]

man this cable makes the already diffused sounding edition xs even more diffused sounding

nothing is well pronounced anymore and I cannot follow what is going on anymore

[unique wind]

people probably just like the jacked up treble

once it's out of the sibilance range it's easy to mistake as detail or air or spatial effects

[steel escarp]

nah I heard nyvo say that its actually darker than the edition xs

[unique wind]

well i mean it's not a mistake, that is what that region does

Personally I like loads of treble so bias is strong here

[warm scarab]

[unique wind]

[warm scarab]

[west crypt]

what settings should i use on my podmic usb?

trying to get something podcast

[lean grove]

if you want a podcasty sound turn up the compressor and turn down the gain while having the mic close to your mouth

just be careful with popping the mic with plosives

[west crypt]

[lean grove]

as much as id love to spend the next half hour helping you fiddle with settings, baldurs gate is more fun
