hey! i need some recommendations for microphones for a gaming youtuber.. price does not matter, it can be expensive

i know the sm7b is very popular, but is there a better option? i don't want to just get it for the fact that its popular. also i think USB would be simpler.

i looked into the mv7 but to my ears the sm7b sounds more detailed in highs and more presence overall...

candid cosmos Sep 17, 2023, 6:02 AM

#

Good and usb is - difficult.

gritty blade Sep 17, 2023, 6:04 AM

haha okay then, something that doesnt require an insane amount of power then?

so i could just run straight off a resonable audio interface

Hey @warm scarab Sorry to disturb you for the 12th time but I have a question.

Does your nominal impedance for the your AMP and your set of headphones be the same? Or should one be the a greater value?

warm scarab Sep 17, 2023, 1:25 PM

#

no

#

those are fairly unrelated

#

the impedance of the amp is the output impedance 90%

#

and you want that to be lower than the impedance of the headphones

#

if you are buying a headphone amplifier it would be difficult to find a decent amp that has a troublesome amounts of output impedance

cold token Sep 17, 2023, 1:34 PM

#

Oh okay

#

Cuz I'm looking to get maybe the 560s, 600 or 660s and pair it with a Loxjie D30

#

Any thoughts on my pairing? Am I in the right direction or am I wasting my money and being dumb with my current choices?

worst frequency response ever for something that expensive

gigantic hump in the mid bass right at 200hz just for that special taco bell restroom bass feel

gigantic chasm right after that at 400hz to start ruining vocals

corsair at it yet again with another criminally bad product

because gamers dont know what good sound is and no one complains about it

as long as it has a ton of RGB and a built in mic they will buy it

how does that even happen

20db drop at 4khz

i guess thats just what happens when you have shittily designed closed backs with no regard for the internal reflections and resonances

silent haven Sep 18, 2023, 5:25 AM

#

insult to injury is they rebrand it every year too

#

as some newer model with newer RGB but it sounds just as bad

half fog i guess thats just what happens when you have shittily designed closed backs wit...

it looks bad (and it's noticeable) but it's unironically decent FWIW

#

it looks worse on the compensated graph because the rtings curve is stupid

#

It's based on the takstar pro 80 which is actually somewhat respected for cheap closed backs

#

but if you're gonna gatekeep audio you might as well do it properly by giving a proper recommendation

#

saying it's bad doesn't help

#

the only other wired options for wired headsets are the mh751...

#

which is also another takstar model...

half fog Sep 18, 2023, 6:58 AM

#

not sure how its gatekeeping saying people shouldnt waste money on corsairs 200-300 dollar steaming piles and to instead just get any low-mid range from a reputable brand with a separate mic

#

actually costs less money

#

only reason i didnt list a specific recommendation is because of how much the prices fluctuate in the <300 dollar price range and that its a closed back

#

and the argument can be made that closed back is worse for gaming unless you are in a very loud environment

haughty girder Sep 18, 2023, 7:33 AM

#

of course. If someone is looking to pay that much money for a headset from corsair of all people by all means give them a better recommendation

#

but the HyperX cloud ii isn't that

#

cloud ii is a 100 dollar headset that can be found for even less

#

also what counts as low-midrage for you?

#

cause just about all closed backs suck until the k361

#

HyperX just happens to suck less

#

and no, sub 300 dollar space prices don't fluctuate like you claim they do

silent haven Sep 18, 2023, 7:54 AM

#

seems like you already made your decision about the corsairs

#

why even ask here if you know people will shart on them for being notoriously bad

#

would rather get a dt770 closed back over some stealing pile of shit corsair with a CANYON dip in the frequency

#

you can fix a peak but not a massive dip

#

half fog Sep 18, 2023, 8:05 AM

#

yeah even if the beyers have higher treble you can just tone it down with an EQ on the other hand if you have a massive deadzone from the shitty tuning its not like most headphones can handle a massive +10db or more increase

#

start to get audible distortion at higher listening volumes and that is even if you have enough amplification to achieve it comfortably

#

especially if its in the sub bass response with a 15db rolloff

#

try putting a heavy bass shelf on a cheap dynamic and see what happens

silent haven Sep 18, 2023, 8:08 AM

not doable

So a few months ago I bought some HS80s from Corsair, been using em daily, regular use, charge em, use them wireless til the battery says needs charge, don’t charge em to full, repeat, just really regular use, today I pick em up, notice they were not charging, then I pick them up and they smell burnt, I take the usb c out and it comes out black, I’ve not done anything wrong to them, only been charging em through my PC with the USB C so they get paired nicely and turn into wired mode ~~kinda wanna cry cuz they’re the only ones I have and if I wanna buy another pair they won’t come for a while and all that~~ does anyone know what could’ve been the problem??? I updated my BIOS just last week and idk I don’t know how that could’ve cause such a terrible overcurrent that they’d be fried or if it was something else completely, or if I was just extremely unlucky stupidwhinybitch

Random question, im currently using musicbee and I overall like it, but is there anything similar that supports external song/album tagging

#

e.g. stores its metadata externally instead of updating the file when you update the metadata, for example when a song is missing its album info or its inputted shoddily

#

I could just copy all the files to a seperate directory and then tag them properly but that consumes 2x the hard disk space

The real question is why are truly wireless so expensive?

If you look at the overall market, truly wireless are extremely cheap to manufacture. You can get pallets of 100 waterproof Bluetooth 5.2 noise cancelling tws earbuds with your brand customized on them for ~$5 a unit on Ali express. They probably don't sound good, but the fact that all that underlying technology is there means that's the easy part.

The hard part is making them sound good and moondrop has that part down pretty well.

Every company seems to have their own truly wireless and they pretty much all have the same feature set.

it's basically old sundara frequency response but with full bass extension

it copied he6 almost perfectly in frequency response and even in distortion so I was very confident they are the actual he6 drivers

warm scarab Sep 20, 2023, 12:15 AM

#

lmao utws moment

unique wind Sep 20, 2023, 12:15 AM

#

warm scarab Sep 20, 2023, 12:15 AM

#

unique wind Sep 20, 2023, 12:16 AM

#

iemagni on neutral gain

#

I prefer no recessed mid bass

warm scarab Sep 20, 2023, 12:16 AM

#

i mean its not really that better

unique wind Sep 20, 2023, 12:16 AM

#

50-66% knob depending on mood

#

66% is dramatically louder and mostly only used for solo music jamming

#

If your driver is fast enough then a bit of mid bass is welcome

unique wind Sep 20, 2023, 12:16 AM

#

but honestly utws5 has plenty of power even with eq

#

at 33/33 it gets sundara so loud that the right driver starts rattling

#

and still doesnt have an audible noise floor

steel escarp Sep 20, 2023, 12:17 AM

#

Honestly there are so many different signatures that are enjoyable

#

Idk what is right or wrong

unique wind Sep 20, 2023, 12:17 AM

#

harman is right

#

theyve done the research

steel escarp Sep 20, 2023, 12:17 AM

#

It's an average

warm scarab Sep 20, 2023, 12:17 AM

#

yeah

unique wind Sep 20, 2023, 12:17 AM

#

you fall in the old or woman category

steel escarp Sep 20, 2023, 12:17 AM

#

It does not match whatever mood I am in to enjoy

warm scarab Sep 20, 2023, 12:17 AM

#

its a median

#

to start with not every song has the same tonality or mastering

unique wind Sep 20, 2023, 12:18 AM

#

if you need colored timbre to enjoy your music then your music probably just sucks

#

(95% of rock and metal)

warm scarab Sep 20, 2023, 12:18 AM

#

if you have songs with low bass you will prefer neutral bass because its resolution starts to go down with a bass shelf

#

if you have songs with strong bass you want to emphasize it

#

etc

#

this is why you are bipolar when it comes to eqing

#

your every song sounds different so there cannot be one perfect target

unique wind Sep 20, 2023, 12:19 AM

#

im not rly

#

i use harman tuned iems all day and come home and use harman tuned iems or harman eqd sundara

#

been this way for like half a year

warm scarab Sep 20, 2023, 12:19 AM

#

well yeah

#

its the median to all

#

the one graph that is least likely to be fucked compared to most

unique wind Sep 20, 2023, 12:20 AM

#

funny thing is the median argument goes the opposite way too

warm scarab Sep 20, 2023, 12:20 AM

#

doesn't mean other graphs cant be enjoyable though, that is just short sighted

unique wind Sep 20, 2023, 12:20 AM

#

the 5.5db bass shelf was chosen by the average being 43? year olds

warm scarab Sep 20, 2023, 12:20 AM

#

unique wind funny thing is the median argument goes the opposite way too

younger people prefer even more bass
