Especially in the world
Every market has companies which make normal affordable things and then a really bizarre really expensive thing to hold mind space.
It's like another form of advertising but to enthusiasts

I'd say it's more about brand recognition
Even if they sold the nautilus at a loss it's still worthwhile to have the product at the top to bring to shows.

You know for $100k I bet you I could not only build incredibly amazing speakers but an addition to a house of a room built specifically for those speakers.
$100k speakers in a shitty room made of marble and post modern style furniture is gonna sound worse than $2000 speakers in a room full of carpet and used furniture

Hey, I need a speaker for my pc, but I don’t want boxes! So I found the echo dot 3. from Amazon. I can connect it with aux to my pc, is it true? Does the echo dot have an integrated microphone?

hello guys, ive got a question, i want to use one wireless usb headset for my laptop and pc, how can i pair them ? so i hear my pc and my laptop at the same time ? .. i think its not possible to use the mix on both and hear both at the same time or ? that would be ok, i only need the mic on my laptop actually, but would be nice if it would work
warm scarab
google voicemeeter vban
supple stag
google voicemeeter vban
@warm scarab i cant install programms on the laptop, its work laptop from company, i want the audio from the pc to the laptop, if possible using my sub headset mic on both, but its fine when its only working on laptop
warm scarab
I don't think this is possible
at least not without using an unreasonable amount of devices
you could get a mixer
or try connecting headphone output of one computer to the microphone input of the other
and then selecting "listen to this device" on the other computer
supple stag
ye i was thinking about a mini mixer only to connect, but i cant find ones with usb ( and i dont know if 3.5mm to usb adapter would work ), BUT i was thinking to just use the 3.5mm output from pc into the headphone input on laptop, and my usb headset on laptop .. but i dont know if it would work
warm scarab
ye i was thinking about a mini mixer only to connect, but i cant find ones with ...
"3.5 output from pc into the headphone output on the laptop"?
you would fry the chip
warm scarab
that is what I wrote above too, it would work but quality may be questionable
warm scarab
ah its always output you right
input will work
output to output will kill something though
supple stag
ah okok, so output from pc into headphone jacket into laptop, and from there my sub headset
warm scarab
headphone jack of one computer to the mic input of another
if you don't have dedicated mic/headphone ports get a splitter
supple stag
my laptop only got a headphone jack, dont know if thats the right one
supple stag
ok, so i just order a 3.5 to 3.5 cable and a spliter mic and headphone 3.5 splitter ? and than i just use the audio output from pc, into the headphone input at the laptop?
and from there i just use my usb headset on the laptop, you think thats gonna work?
you think an usb adapter into 3.5mm would work as well with my wireless usb headset ?
warm scarab
should work
warm scarab
you think an usb adapter into 3.5mm would work as well with my wireless usb head...
what reason do you have for this
your headset doesn't use 3.5
supple stag
than i would get something like this .. i cant post amazon link but google pepperdeck djoclate pocket size mischpult, there i can connect 2x 3.5mm into the mixer and 1x output 3.5mm
and on the output i would use a 3.5mm to usb ( on my wireless headset )
warm scarab
there isn't such a thing as 3.5mm to usb that you can connect a headset to
you need to use drivers of it
which would require a computer
supple stag
ah ok, i know what you mean
warm scarab
yeah
but usb mixers exist
you should just be able to listen to your mixer through your pc
I think
you should do your own research about that though
supple stag
i mean, i did but i didnt found ones with usb outs for headsets, just usb inputs, but like you said, i could not use the drivers than from the headset
warm scarab
i mean, i did but i didnt found ones with usb outs for headsets, just usb inputs...
oh I meant as in
you get a mixer then connect your laptop via 3.5 to the mixer
and then listen to it through your pc
supple stag
TRUE, i would only need a little mixer to connect the pc to, and from there i go to the laptop, and from there i go with normal usb jacket using my headset
so i can use the mic on the laptop as well, or?
warm scarab
nope
you could with some super weird setup probably but it would require a big mixer and lots of routing
not being able to use software makes it a bit difficult
supple stag
ah ok, i mean, i will just order some 3.5mm to 3.5, and a splitter and just connect the pc output into the input from the laptop, and there i use my usb headset in wondwos as output, should work normaly fine like we said i think
i only cant use my mic on the pc than, but i could buy a cheap mic so i could use it there as well
on the laptop*
supple stag
i got no output actually, just go a normal headphone (both) jacket on the laptop
i think its both, so i cant do anything wrong
like this
bro why exactly do i need a splitter to connect the pc to the audio on laptop?
isnt it the same ?
nova wagon
bro why exactly do i need a splitter to connect the pc to the audio on laptop?
Splitter so you have a microphone out?
supple stag
Splitter so you have a microphone out?
dont need, got a usb headset on the laptop for my output source
i just need connect the pc audio with a 3.5mm to the laptop headset jacket ? or ? i dont need a splitter there if i think right ?
supple stag
sou you think as well if i just put the audi out from pc with a 3.5mm to the headset jacket on the laptop, and from there my usb headset to hear both or ? should work right?
warm scarab
i just need connect the pc audio with a 3.5mm to the laptop headset jacket ? or ...
you do
if it is a shared port where you have microphone input and headphone output on the same jack like 95% of laptops do
you don't want to connect a mic input to another mic input by accident because they share the same port
you will isolate the headphone and mic part of the jack this way

@warm scarab sorry for the tag but I was wondering if i could get ur opinion on this
warm scarab
don't
cold token
aye aye captain
warm scarab
focusrite scarlett items are really bad
cold token
okay then ill just get the zen dac air
cold token
ah right okay
I mean I don't really need an interface I just looked at Focusrite reviews and wanted to get it checked out by u as well
I'm running a RODE NT USB mini so
but i think ill upgrade to an xlr eventually
I've heard some good things about the UA Volt 1 as well
what are ur thoughts on that?
warm scarab
I don't own or have any experience with it but comments regarding it I have seen from people who own it have been fairly positive
but it is just hearsay generally
cold token
are interfaces just dacs or amps or are they a combo of both?
warm scarab
anything you can plug your headphones into has an amplifier somewhere
and if it is working off of digital like with a usb cable, they have a dac somewhere
and if they have an audio input that you can listen from your computer with, they have an adc somewhere
cold token
are there any combo units that youd recommend?
warm scarab
zen air dac 😂
cold token
zen air dac 😂
anything higher end?
nova wagon
chord stuff i guess?
warm scarab
anything higher end?
for what headphones
cold token
for what headphones
I haven't gotten them yet but I'm thinking about the HD560s
warm scarab
you definitely don't need an amplifier for those
get headphones that warrant a good amplifier before anything
cold token
you definitely don't need an amplifier for those
just a dac? or just run it alone?
cold token
would u get the hd560s or the 6xx?
sorry for the amount of question im just trying to explore my options before really committing
cold token
both are open back by the seems of it but theres a 20 euros difference HD560s is 219 while the 6XX is 199
so im gonna have to see which option suits me more
like u said, the HD560s doesnt require an AMP but is that the case for the 6XX?
warm scarab
look at other stores bro
dreamy geyser
see alot of people looking at sennheiser's. I got the sennheiser HD 660S2 and someone told me that i will get better sound with an AMP instead of plugging into my computer straight, i know NOTHING about audio stuff. Is anyone able to guide me if thats true? and if so what i need to get?
warm scarab
see alot of people looking at sennheiser's. I got the sennheiser HD 660S2 and ...
you should return them and get the hd650 instead
hd660 is very notorious for being a downgrade to other headphones of the same series
dreamy geyser
unfortunately its been a few months so i cant return them
warm scarab
rip
dreamy geyser
there MUCH better then what i had and i only paid 300 bucks for it
warm scarab
on a subjective scale I'd just tell you that you are better off buying headphones instead of an amp/dac
but zen air dac is a 100$ combo unit if you really want to spend the money
or the ifi uno
dreamy geyser
hmm
its weird cause i feel like they sound fine, but again i dont know if an AMP would make a difference or not
a dac is an amp right?
lean grove
its weird cause i feel like they sound fine, but again i dont know if an AMP wou...
to someone new the difference a good amp and dac can make is pretty subtle
but if you want a nice dac and amp, then you should probably get one'
how much do you want to spend?
dreamy geyser
so in short i probably wont even notice a difference
the money spending isnt a HUGE deal but im not looking to spend a ton of money
a few hundred bucks is more then enough that i want to spend on audio
lean grove
gotcha.
something like the qudelix 5k has a lot of functionality. its $100, sounds good, and even if you dont think you'll be hearing the difference of a dac amp it comes with a bunch of other features which will make it worth your time
dreamy geyser
let me check that out
lean grove
otherwise if you want something beefier, a schiit stack would be the default recommendation.
schiit magni and a schiit modi. you can probably find some good deals on ebay. just make sure you get at least the modi 3. earlier magnis arent that bad but the newer ones are really good. maybe skip the magni heresy/heretic
you can also use the qudelix as a dedicated dac and get a beefier amp for it
or you can get an amp and a good quality dongle as a dac which is the ultimate bang for buck
dreamy geyser
yeah this is all chinese to me lol
i saw a few posts saying a FiiO K7 is good
but no idea if thats actually GOOD or just expensive crap
dreamy geyser
lol
lean grove
i mean you can do worse. but
there's not really anything that fiio makes thats really interesting.
they're maybe C or B tier. they're not ripping you off and I dont think ive ever heard complaints about build quality from fiio
if you want something to surprise you and possibly make a difference as yo what you're hearing, i wouldnt go with fiio
dreamy geyser
got it
im gonna look into what you recommended
thanks for the help, even though i feel dumb not understanding what a dongle is, an amp and DAC
just everything is confusing

unless of course it can be used with a 3.5mm cable

unborn gale
fair
and you can't buy used?
since I'd still go for the K371 if possible, don't think there's much better
at such a price
k361 should be slightly worse but sufficient
velvet pier
k361 seem to have way better build quality but
i missed them
they went outta stock on amazon
dusky linden
<@438517857777876992> are these any good https://www.amazon.ca/Soundcore-Cancell...
no
jbl 710bt is better
dusky linden
theyre 260 cad
they go on-sale for $150 cad sometimes, but still above your budget
k361 is around the same price and doesn't go on-sale as often
I have seen it for $120 but once again, still above your budget (and you'd likely have to wait so not worth)
closed backs <$100 cad are pretty much all bad except for creative aurvana live which is on-ear (unless your ears are small) and now discontinued
i.e. you'd be better off going for something like ksc75 which is not closed or iems if you want isolation
I saw that this isn't for you, so yeah pretty tough

Im going to be getting a new amp for my bass guitar and I was wondering if I could have some recommendations for headphones for it
half fog
edition XS still does not have enough clamping force even after bending and putting a greekira cover on the headband
are the aftermarket dekoni earpads thicker
they sit 90% correctly if i sit up straight but if i tilt my head forward or back they slide a bit
still sound better than any other headphones ive used and require no EQ
good sub bass extension for open back
warm scarab
are the aftermarket dekoni earpads thicker
maybe but it will change the sound
get a suspension headband if you really want to
half fog
may have to mod the headband if i get a suspension one since they have the weird shaped drivers
and still have to disassemble the earcup and take the drivers out to access the nut to take the headband off im fairly sure
going to try an earpad swap first
saw some picture of a mod where someone put a leather strap under the xs headband as a homemade suspension strap but i doubt that increases the clamping force just makes it more comfortable and sit higher on head
not sure why hifiman decided to give the stupid headband such a wide radius on the xs specifically
they had the same headband on other headphones which fit me perfectly fine and are tighter
its like they are pre stretched
warm scarab
may have to mod the headband if i get a suspension one since they have the weird...
you can just buy the ananda headband
there are also some suspender mods
warm scarab
saw some picture of a mod where someone put a leather strap under the xs headban...
does increase clamp by some amount
half fog
where would you buy an ananda headband by itself
theres stuff like this but the yoke is too short
could probably make a custom yoke for them since they can detatch from the adjustment mechanism with 2 screws it looks like
warm scarab
where would you buy an ananda headband by itself

ornate linden
what's a good planar KLAUS
half fog
it sounds good but the headband is abysmal unless you have a giant head
warm scarab
fairly impossible to find anything that good for 330$
comfort maybe, depends on your head
half fog
almost would have rather gone with an arya stealth just to avoid the headband and still have good sound quality but would cost 2x as much if comparing refurb to refurb price in hifiman store
or ananda
the "comfort" band in the hifiman store says HE 400i and 560v1 which im fairly sure is not compatible headband type with XS
made for round earcups
atleast the headband is usable after bending the shit out of it but still not as nice as my he560v4 headband which is the "same" style but for some reason is not stretched a mile apart out of the box
gigantic radius
warm scarab
well
if you like clamp I can see why it would annoy you
I personally don't so haven't had any issues with it
half fog
if you stand up perfectly straight and have a tall enough head that the drivers sit level with your ears at an adjustment position then its fine
but the drivers were not centered on my ears even on the smallest adjustment with the slides
had to get a 15-20 dollar headband zipper cover to solve that
still no clamping force though
just usable now
only other complaint really is the stock earpads kind of feel like the paper towels in a public restroom
their new polyester material for the hybrid pads
feels abrasive
half fog
waiting on dekoni velour to see if they sound close enough and are more comfortable
hopefully keeps most of the sub bass and doesnt color it too much
unique wind
their new polyester material for the hybrid pads
see i much prefer the polyester over their velour
the velour feels itchy and warm
half fog
idk only thing i like more about it is that it seems to not attract hair as much as the older hybrid pads
fairly sure they still have the same durability issues as previous hifiman pads though
where they are not stitched and are just glued together at a seam with what seems like envelope glue
you clean them and they pull apart like tissue paper
my previous headphones from them with circular earcups ive had to replace the pads with brainwavz which is cheap and somehow still better build quality
ornate linden
dekoni hifiman is still glued
half fog
do they still use the same weak junk glue
ive repaired a hifiman pad before with contact cement but it was a tedious process
had to take the earpad apart and then clamp it together around the ring
ornate linden
probably about the same
half fog
had to peel the glue off the rest of the way and then scrape it off the pleather material with something like an xacto blade and then use a bunch of small metal clamps after brushing the contact cement on with a toothpick
warm scarab
yeah hifiman pads don't take lots of abuse
half fog
took over an hour
warm scarab
you need to be careful when installing them and taking them off
ornate linden
they're less bright than the stock hybrid pads, but they still extend in the bass
half fog
main time waste was because it was contact cement and not something like superglue
had to let it partially cure before pressing together
half fog
yeah it runs all over and melts shit
warm scarab
you tried?
warm scarab
you need to use something like bally
half fog
or on an old he 400i headband that snapped at the yoke
warm scarab
used to repair shoes
ideally at least
use a clothespin to squeeze it together and wait for the bally to stick
half fog
so you just use shoe glue on earpads
warm scarab
bally is meant to protect elasticity of items while gluing them
half fog
to spot repair or to take all the old glue off and redo the whole seam
warm scarab
if you use a hard adhesive it will tear
warm scarab
to spot repair or to take all the old glue off and redo the whole seam
I did spot repair
very poorly at that too
still held up for a fair bit
hot glue will also work in small volumes
since it is still a bit elastic
if you are skilled use bally, if you are unskilled use hot glue
half fog
how are you supposed to clean hifiman pads if they are so delicate
like the inside edge
warm scarab
they aren't too delicate, you just want to be carful not to pull on the glue
when taking them on or off
only thing you want to avoid doing is cutting the edge of the pad
which will make it incredibly hard to stick it back
ornate linden
just use a damp cloth and lint roller
They fall apart over time but they don't really break unless you're abusing them
warm scarab
yeah
half fog
something else ive noticed is the foam in the hifiman pads slowly rolls over at the edges
warm scarab
if you are really bad just suck it up and buy a new pair
half fog
becomes less squared and more rounded
ornate linden
Also yeah just buy new pads at that point

yoo i just watched that video it came up in my recommended i think
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZKCxIuJ-5M
This guy made an insane one and you can see like at 4:50 timestamp and beyond he showcases it and it is like making his door move in and out in his room from the pressure difference to the specific frequency and it makes his house shake a little too.
Thats some neat tech for sure.
unborn gale
rotary subwoofers, why? Like what makes it better than a normal subwoofer?
elder coyote
I think they are more power (electricity)/space efficient for the same decibel level and frequency at lower frequencies.
Like one rotary sub could do the work of a good bit of normal subs at the same frequency/total output level
you can get like real pressure differences even at the 10Hz level. Though that low and its less of like hearing something, more about feeling it.
watch the video at 4:50 and see what it does lol
lean grove
rotary subwoofers, why? Like what makes it better than a normal subwoofer?
They can do sub-bass really well and arguably go down to zero hz
lean grove
Yeah. Making bass by just adjusting a fan
But that's what you gotta do unless you wanna do bass shakers or unreasonably large transmission lines
If you want subbass you gotta move a lot of air.

This seemed like a good place to ask a niche question where someone might have a good answer -
I have some klipsch speakers that I used to wall-mount, but I'd like to find some desk stands for them instead. Ideally they'd make it to a height just above the top of my monitors, since I have 3 monitors side-by-side on an arm, and it takes up all the width on my desk where I'd put them otherwise.
Anyone know of some decent desk-mount speaker stands that can get that tall? Most of the ones I've seen on Amazon are way too short to get a speaker to clear the top of a monitor

even if the arm supports the weight the desk might be too fragile

had to cut a metal sheet to support the arm

I intentionally put the arm as close to the middle leg of the back as I could
the particle board or cardboard or whatever it was got destroyed but it never collapsed
I didn't expect it to work when I did it, but I never questioned it lol
I figured if I tried to understand how it worked, it'd stop working

mine doesn't seem like it will collapse unless i mess with it so i just don't touch it

watched a dekoni video of the pads being removed
did it in same way

lean grove
lets say 300 euros. I'm in Ireland
Schiit is the default recommendation.
Ifi has the Zen DAC air which doesn't have as much power as the schiit stack but it's gonna be way cheaper. The power it provides should be enough for 97% of headphones tho.
There's also the topping stack which is the l30 and the d30 and those measure really well but they might be more expensive.
If you can find a used schitt Asgard, that's gonna be better than the magni.

better QC then
tho I guess I do have to mention that at a low volume (for the Atom), like rotating the knob from 0-5 degrees did have channel imbalance, but not as big of an issue as just static

the comfort headband on the hifiman store is not for ananda its for the round earcups like on he 400i and he560v1
but it looks similar
wait nvm the ananda uses some weird version of the sundara headband
the one that came out after that comfort one
but that still has the wrong yokes on it for the egg shaped drivers
shorter around earcups
he basically had to buy a sundara headband and then peel back the pleather on the top part of the XS headband and then unscrew it to release the yokes
and then swap the yokes
kept yokes on XS and then shoved them into sundara headband as is without unscrewing from drivers
id do that if i didnt plan on returning these since its a fairly destructive mod and because i have a pair of broken sundaras around
but these are within the supposed return window so
basically have to demolish the XS headband just to take the yokes out
unless that goes back perfectly after peeling it like that
untucking from the ends
unborn gale
that looks cursed
half fog
great headband design
the HE 400i "enhanced comfort" which is what the ones on the arya look like is literally better in every way except odd material choice
the top strap is kind of low quality pleather material with dimples in it which collect hair and dust
and the plastic yokes can snap if you are unlucky or pull on them just the right way
unless the arya changed the materials from the other "comfort" bands
unborn gale
oh yeah the yoke move rotates smoothly due to basically using 2 mouse glide pads
half fog
what are those yokes made out of
is it solid plastic/metal/wire reinforced plastic
fairly sure those are just set in with tension too and you dont need to unscrew them to take them off
unborn gale
I have an Arya
yokes are metal
but they don't seem to be tensioned, rather they seem secured within the earcups

@half fog why not just mod it
its not a confusing mod
you get a leather lace
squeeze it between connection points in the headband
boom
suspension
or you can just tie it around the thing
half fog
would rather just get arya not great value wise but it comes with the headband I want without screwing with it and they have better drivers
half fog
these have annoyed me enough even if I can eventually get them to be more usable
plus id still have to replace the earpads since the shit retention clips are like porcelain
would consider xs "better than sundara or he 560" but thats about it
just because he 560v4 has funny tuning and sundara has shit subbass extension
with severe driver failure QC problems
I do like the earcup shape though which is basically shared between ananda and arya
if i had set strict budget constraints for my desktop audio setup then modding these would make more sense but ive had enough and i can afford to just upgrade and not deal with this atrocity
