audio-tech

[unborn gale]

I guess anything from steelseries since most stuff just sucks under $100 that also has a mic

now if you want headphones that don't have a mic, there's a couple choices

[elder thistle]

how is the pc37x with positional audio and mic quality

[unborn gale]

mic quality is decent, but like, if you want good mic quality, you'd be buying a separate mic anyways

but it's still overall not bad

sound quality is also pretty good, way better than really any other gaming headset at that price or cheaper

as for positional audio, I don't know as I haven't gamed with it when I tested it out

[elder thistle]

gaming is the general purpose of a gaming headset

[unborn gale]

and all you need is good sound quality

which the majority of gaming headphones do not have

at all

also "gaming headphones" are literally just headphones with a mic

maybe slap some rgb and make it look cool

that's it

[elder thistle]

nah I disagree

I had the same opinion until I compared some gaming headsets to my hd600 and ndh20

in retrospect I was a fool to recommend audiophile/studio headphones so blindly

it didn't work as well at all

[unborn gale]

you probably just suck lmao?

or just have downloaded the associated programs for those headphones

because they're literally just normal headphones

I design headphones and have taken apart gaming headphones

there's literally no difference

[elder thistle]

normal headphones that have imaging and occlusion tailored to the audio formats many games provide

actually I recorded the cloud alpha S today with some titanfall 2

[unborn gale]

wow you're trolling hard

[elder thistle]

and the system audio to replay it through them and a few other headphones with the spatializer turned off

[lean grove]

[lyric flax]

i want a headset that has a mic but idc about the quality of that, i want the sound to be good

[elder thistle]

are you looking for strong positional audio or is that secondary

[lyric flax]

tbh idek what that is

[elder thistle]

like how easily you can tell where a sound is coming from other than left/right in games

[lyric flax]

then yes that would be good

[elder thistle]

that was one of the common complaints in the more negative amazon reviews for the pc37x, but imaging is kind of subjective

idk about the occlusion aspect or treatment of audio below 400hz

which has been pretty important for me

but I haven't tried the pc37x personally so I don't have an opinion on those aspects

[lyric flax]

i was told that the dt 990 was good, is that true?

i wasnt told if it was pro or 250 ohm

[elder thistle]

well it's analytical if that's what you mean, but I only have the dt770 80 ohm and with worn pads

[lyric flax]

i was told the 250 needs an amp

[elder thistle]

so maybe? no mic though

possibly a little extra voltage capability but not much

it would at least get somewhat loud on typical headphone jacks on pcs

you could still do something like this for under $150 new in the u.s, but then realistically you'll want to use equalizer software to bring the bass up

and it wasn't as useful for me as a hyperx cloud alpha in games, worse positional audio

but for me it kinda blows away my dt770 on both of those fronts which is why I mention it

uhh recording.exe

[lyric flax]

anyone else have a recommendation?

[elder thistle]

I did some recordings of the game audio on those different headphones. I also have one for the sennheiser hd560s but it's not as bright as it sounds to me when using it, and there's the cloud alpha S with the 7.1 mode disabled

there is absolutely no eq applied to any of the headphones pre or post except for a harman correction curve that's within +-1db until 8khz where I then take some more liberties

the audio you'll hear will be contorted by your existing headphones, especially tonally, but you should still be able to hear some things the headphones do better or worse than eachother at

hyperx cloud alpha S 7.1 enabled

beyerdynamic dt770 80 ohm worn pads

and mackie mc-450

[warm scarab]

get the dt880 instead

directly better than dt990 and 770

[warm scarab]

my brother in christ hyperx 7.1 is eq

[elder thistle]

you can't hear the extra crossfeed? reverb?

study the sound

wait this might help, it's the 7.1 button turned off

if you compare that to the dt770 you might be able to hear the front vs back issue I was talking about, being more obvious on the dt770

the drones from 0:30-0:41 demonstrate this well

and the sense of the 2nd drone swinging around

gaming headset power 🦾

[copper ermine]

Can someone please help me, I know nothing about audio but I'm looking to get speakers for my theatre / bedroom, I want to be able to play from tv or my record player, can someone please recommend budget friendly speakers/sub, amp, etc

[hidden vapor]

Anyone know if the AKG K52 is any good compared to audiotechnica m30x’s?

[lean grove]

the k52's are pretty mediocre, so i dont have high hopes for them being an upgrade over the m30s

[lean grove]

do you know how much money you wanna spend? and do you need 5.1 or is stereo okay?

[hidden vapor]

Alright

I found a sale for $15 rn so I was just wandering

[copper ermine]

Probably $1000 budget

And idk if I even have room for rears in this room

[lean grove]

take a look at the truthear holas and koss ksc75 instead.

[hidden vapor]

Thanks. I rlly don’t need to switch my headphones I was just curious. The m30s are like a year old, just gotta replace the cushions

[copper ermine]

Like couch is up against wall so can't rly put speaker behind

[steel escarp]

@warm scarab hd650 is so good

Better than dt880

[warm scarab]

dude grey the hd650s

the bass just slams dude

[steel escarp]

I tried hd660s2 too, not to my liking

[warm scarab]

my bass slams like yah yah yah with the zen stack dude grey

[steel escarp]

Also tried susvara

It was really good

[warm scarab]

I presume this is an end to your buying a tube amp for the dt880

and now for the hd650s

[steel escarp]

HD650 is a no brainer recommendation

[steel escarp]

I tried tubing

Feliks audio elise

But idk I didn't like it anymore

Too pillowy

And soft

[warm scarab]

did you buy it

[steel escarp]

I will. Just did a demo on my chain.

[lean grove]

that gives some nice wiggle room. the JBL studio 530's go on sale pretty often, you can snag them for like $300 if you're patient. they have a matching sub, the jbl 550P, which goes on sale for less than $200. you will need to shop around for a reciever. cambridge audio has good stuff, denon has decent stuff, onkyo, sony and yamaha have some okay stuff.

if you want something more simple, vanatoos t1's are a good option. get the 550p sub with these and you might need to find a way to connect the record player to these if you dont have a pre-amp built into the record player.

[warm scarab]

is the 550p good

[lean grove]

550p is the best $200 you can spend on a subwoofer

its okay at $350, and at $500 keep looking

[steel escarp]

A hd800s would also be good

[warm scarab]

bro just make one like everyone does

[steel escarp]

I need to find a pair for 800

[warm scarab]

like that guy

that built the sub

like everyone

if I had 200$ id TOTALLY build a sub

dude nils

[lean grove]

i snagged my 550p for $130

you cant build a better sub for less

[steel escarp]

Yall need a speedwoofer 10s mk2

[lean grove]

speedwoofer is good but i would want a rythmik sub

but also i have a wall neighbor so subs are bad news

[warm scarab]

bro if i had a 550p for 130$

id kiss nils

[steel escarp]

I need a susvara

So well balanced

The vocals on that thing were good

Close to a hd800s

[white gate]

I wanna try a Rythmik sub at somepoint

[warm scarab]

I want to build an infasub at some point

just to fuck with the neighbors

[lean grove]

can you even buy a rotary sub

[white gate]

I'm using two SVS SB-16 Ultra right now 😛

[lean grove]

or do you need to build one

[warm scarab]

I don't think you can buy one for reasonable prices

[steel escarp]

The tube amp made my he1000 stealth sound like an audeze

[warm scarab]

think its all like custom orders

[white gate]

There are some commercial ones available but in the 'could buy a nice new car' price category

[warm scarab]

yea

[lean grove]

well reasonable price of an unreasonable subwoofer doesnt make sense

so thats fair

how much music has sub 20 content anyways

[warm scarab]

it isn't fair when you can build one for like

1/100th of the cost

[steel escarp]

Heard the final d8000 and yahama 5000se too

The yahama one was so bad

[white gate]

Very little

[steel escarp]

The final d8000 sounded really fresh?

[warm scarab]

5000se is a super beautiful headphone

[lean grove]

i liked the d8000 pro le more than the susvara.

[warm scarab]

only if it sounded good

[lean grove]

susvara sounds like a hifiman. d8000 doesnt.

[white gate]

And even if music HAS content there it's not exactly being looked at/thought about during production so arguably could almost be a bad thing to leave it in

[warm scarab]

how much is the d8000

[steel escarp]

It gave me goosebumps, but that was because how bad it sounded

[white gate]

D8K LE is lovely

[lean grove]

used they hang around $2k?
d8k pro LE is like $5k

[warm scarab]

is that the amazon cost or can you get it for cheaper like susvaras

[lean grove]

the gentleman from mimic audio had it on the mass kobo at canjam

[steel escarp]

The d8000 build was actually really good and cool

[lean grove]

idk.

[steel escarp]

Does the LE sound different to the normal one?

[white gate]

Also special collab cable 😄

[lean grove]

i think it has a little bit less treble

[white gate]

It does yeah. It's got slightly better technical performance than the pro with a tuning sliiightly more toward the non-pro. Which for me was best of both worlds.
Also it goes a bit louder than the non-LE variant before clipping so for ppl who listen loud that's a bonus I guess

[molten skiff]

so I got this https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07W1G95PH?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 for my 560s and Im getting no sound of the mic and i dunno what to do lol

[white gate]

Are you connecting it to an aux/mic combo jack?

[molten skiff]

I just plugging it into a headphone jack

[white gate]

That's probably why

[molten skiff]

I dont ahve a mixed jack

[white gate]

You need a mixed jack for the mic to work

[molten skiff]

well guess I return this lol

[steel escarp]

Wait I can easily mod the hd650 stock cable into a balanced cable

[molten skiff]

cuz rn I have an small amp for these heaphones but only has headphone imput

so I cant use mic on it I guess

[steel escarp]

I ordered hd650 for 280 euros

Idk if it's a good price

[molten lotus]

I will be soon ordering a Sennheiser hd6something

Which has better imaging? The HD600 or the HD6xx from drop?

[lean grove]

i would expect them to be pretty similar

[molten lotus]

What is the sound difference between them? Which has better separation, imaging etc?

[lean grove]

well the 6xx is a bit warmer, has a bit more bass.
the 600 is a lot more neutral so that one would have better seperation i'd think

they really are quite similar.

[molten lotus]

I do prefer my bass a bit tighter.

[lean grove]

go for 600 then

[steel escarp]

@lean grove hd600 is shouty

It's midrange was messy

[lean grove]

weird because according to just about everyone else it has one of the best midrange of any headphone

[steel escarp]

It's treble is better than the 650

But I think the 650 is more agreeable sounding overall

[lean grove]

bit of a warmer tilt which is typically more agreeable

but its far from shouty.

[steel escarp]

It had a shrill to it

[lean grove]

you have a shrill to you too

[steel escarp]

That was the word I was looking for

[lean grove]

its one of the most natural headphones ive heard

so.

[steel escarp]

The hd660s2 had this shrill as well

[lean grove]

maybe you're just built different

660s2 is a new direction, they want a bit more v shape

it doesnt sound like any of the other 6x0s

[steel escarp]

The 660s2 stock pads were quite nice

[lean grove]

maybe you just listen to bad music

that could be the case

[steel escarp]

I used eric clapton to demo

And adele

[lean grove]

sounds like boomer music

hearing damage from aging means boomers need the extra bit of treble to compensate

[steel escarp]

I couldn't use anime music in the store

[lean grove]

is that what you listen to

[steel escarp]

Bro I like hd650 which has less treble

[steel escarp]

I listen to a lot of acoustic stuff

The Japanese like their music brighter as well

Anything peeking above harman messes it up

[lean grove]

i have noticed that too

so yeah i think its just a you thing.

like i spent years with hifimans, stax, beyer, akg, and i finally got the 6xx for the first time after all those years everyone i hung around telling me they were trash

and within seconds it was the most natural sounding headphone i heard

and even after going to canjam and trying kilobuck headphones on kilobuck setups, zmfs, audeze, stax, there was only one headphone i liked more than the 6xx and it was the 580

[haughty moon]

I really like how my "dead and not fun" k612pro sounds
but I would really like to try the hd600 at some point too

in which way is the 580 different from the 600 ?

[lean grove]

not sure

pretty similar

[haughty moon]

indeed

[unique wind]

makes sense

[haughty moon]

well I guess I should try both of them and chose one

[unique wind]

it has correct eargain instead of a dip like a hifiman

[haughty moon]

when I have money to put on audio that is

[steel escarp]

Idk tho. In the store I used normal not bright music.

[lean grove]

you used music you're unfamiliar with

[unique wind]

600/6xx have objectively good midrange

bass too weak for me tho

[steel escarp]

No I listen to adele and Eric clapton at home to

[lean grove]

are you part of some ancient generation or something

[steel escarp]

I am 21 okay

[haughty moon]

lol

[steel escarp]

I like old music

[haughty moon]

I'm the old guy here

[steel escarp]

Like Pink Floyd

[lean grove]

https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-sennheiser-hd6xx

idk if the 6xx is gonna go lower with their sitebuster deal thingy

[steel escarp]

Everyone's ears are different

[unique wind]

different ear geometry wont make hifiman dip eargain sound natural

unless youre from a different planet

[lean grove]

grey very well might be

[haughty moon]

yeah it's 320 $ for me once arrived here if there's not shipping fee

[lean grove]

https://tenor.com/view/stumble-shake-shaky-drink-gif-16104354

[haughty moon]

I'll keep looking for used or wait for a deal

[lean grove]

yeah do that

[steel escarp]

It's not that bad sounding in the he1000v2 stealth. Despite it having the biggest gap of em all.

Like it actually has a defined center image

[unique wind]

if i wasn’t allowed to use eq id take 6xx any day no hesitation

[steel escarp]

Way better than xs

[unique wind]

(over your he1000v2)

[steel escarp]

Bro

I got both

[lean grove]

EQ in more bass

[steel escarp]

6xx = 650

They compensate for each other's flaws

If I had susvara I'd sell both

But I need a dac upgrade

Tried a 1500 euro chord dac

I didn't expect to notice any difference but it was actually pretty clear

[unique wind]

[steel escarp]

Chord Qutest

honestly I dont want to spend money on a dac

it was like 10% better

but for 1500 euro

[unique wind]

don’t

[steel escarp]

you can get a susvara for 4k

[unique wind]

literally a 4090 in price for a dac that does nothing

just get a well measuring source chain and give up the source meme lifestyle

[steel escarp]

the zen dac signature was kind of pillowy compared to the chord dac

I got to try the NIIMBUS US 5 PRO

a 6k euro amp

honestly it was better than the violectric v222 but it was very marginal

[unique wind]

get a70pro/d70pro stack

provably inaudible distortion and drives any headphone on low gain

[lean grove]

low-fi

[steel escarp]

meme amps

[unique wind]

the very definition of hifi

probably inaudible and drives any headphone on low gain even with heavily corrective eq

[steel escarp]

does it do susvara

my violectric does

I tried and it was amazing

[lean grove]

doesnt even have 99 op amps in parallel

[unique wind]

easily

it’s the most powerful mainstream headphone amp

[steel escarp]

I would just get a speaker amp for susvara

[unique wind]

it’ll do susvara with eq on low gain

[steel escarp]

I had to use high gain

[unique wind]

makes me wonder if they’ll make an even more powerful a90 pro

[steel escarp]

but the gain setting does not indicate whether its a good amp

[unique wind]

the a70 pro is already endgame so what more can they do

[lean grove]

is the screen oled or LCD

[unique wind]

i don’t remember

[steel escarp]

the only interesting topping products are the dx3 pro+ and their estat amp

[lean grove]

why is the output impedance 50 ohms

oh that's the pre-outs

nevermind

[unique wind]

i was gonna say that’s weird

[lean grove]

0.2 ohms at the headphone out

[unique wind]

17w into 16ohm at 0.1 LOL

[steel escarp]

the unit in the store had some play in the hinge here

[unique wind]

literally speaker amp power

[steel escarp]

scary stuff

with how much they clamp I dont want it to bend there

[lean grove]

are you implying that hifiman's flagship headphone is poorly built?

[steel escarp]

yes

tho actually

idk what the people demo the unit do with it

they probably abuse it

[unique wind]

funny that $5000 headphones have build flaws

lcd-5 is prone to hair getting stuck in the driver

[lean grove]

everything has build flaws

[steel escarp]

actually my left side of the headband has some play there too

[unique wind]

bald audiophiles win again

[steel escarp]

I dont want to find out

[warm scarab]

caravan basement

[steel escarp]

wait he1000v2 stealth sounds so good

why did I buy hd650

[warm scarab]

because you are grey

[steel escarp]

it will replace my dt880

I will mod hd650 cable to balanced

[warm scarab]

remember the good old times

[steel escarp]

cant be bothered to mod the connectors tbh

DONT

DONT SHOW THE CABLE

IDK WHAT I WAS THINKING

[warm scarab]

I was going to quote the point where 20 people told you stop chasing after the dt880

the cable thing you brought up on yourself terrible

rent free

[steel escarp]

DT880 with EQ is still good

it has wider stage than HD650

[warm scarab]

has the peaks

[steel escarp]

yeah it has peaks

[unique wind]

all this cope

just accept that 6xx is a good headphone

[steel escarp]

I bought hd650 out of copium of not wanting to buy hd800s

for more than 800 euros

the guy at the store wanted to give me one for 1000 euros with new pads

there were some visible marks on the unit

[warm scarab]

should have gotten a hd800 when they went for like 400$

[steel escarp]

yeah...

scamheiser

[unique wind]

wth is this

never seen this before

[lean grove]

it looks like an uninteresting dac amp combo from topping

[unique wind]

half of its page is 15th anniversary marketing propaganda

sandblasted cnc aluminum remote? epic!!!

[steel escarp]

it has the hi-res audio sticker

it must be good

[lean grove]

its got two

[unique wind]

double res

oh it's actually kinda large

[lean grove]

even worse

funny that they included the electrostatic amp

[unique wind]

it has a shit load of io and measures well and has a ton of power output but what does it cost

oh my god why is its page so long

and then theres no price listed

[lean grove]

Apos has it at 1.2k I think

[unique wind]

fuck that

[lean grove]

.

[steel escarp]

endgame amp

[unique wind]

yeah that things pretty cool

it would probably be an improvement over my 75% functional iemagni for iems lmao

i would just use my apple dongle but not having a knob is a massive pain in the ass

im not using windows volume control

[molten skiff]

Best closed Back headset ?

[unique wind]

audeze maxwell

[molten skiff]

want it for like single player immersion and a bit of music so want a bit more base than these 560s

[unique wind]

have you tried using equalizerapo yet

[molten skiff]

yeah but sometimes I just want headset that can isolate outside audio

cuz at times my house can be loud

[unique wind]

if it doesnt need to have a mic then you could check out the Drop x Dan Clark Aeon Closed X

$429 on drop rn

renowned for being exceptionally comfortable and it's well tuned

[lean grove]

audeze maxwell

[steel escarp]

I need to buy the chord qutest

[unique wind]

[steel escarp]

I can get it for 1k

it will improve my headphones by like 10%

[warm scarab]

might be one of the denons maybe

[lean grove]

are those still around

[warm scarab]

no

you just pay a lot of money for them on ebay and maybe get one

[unique wind]

[steel escarp]

the older denons are not worth it

I went on that journey

terribly sibilant and some of the worst vocals ever

[warm scarab]

you got the d2000 or something right

[steel escarp]

D5000

[warm scarab]

theres like 9 of them

one of them is probably good

lol

[steel escarp]

its D2000, D5000 and D7000

the old ones

none are good

the newer ones are not good either

[warm scarab]

tried all?

[steel escarp]

yeah

[warm scarab]

surprising

people really worship those

[steel escarp]

the new ones have better vocals

but 6k peak

and bass is not good

it heavily underperforms

meze liric is where its at for closed

tho the boosted midrange might be fatiguing to some

after like 5 minutes of listening you forget about the tuning

my only issue being the 1k area sounding a tad shrilly

[broken heath]

I added an external sound card to a pc to get toslink for surround sound, didn’t work. How can I get surround sound with my dad’s pc

Rn it only has stereo

Hello y’all! Would anyone happen to know what speakers these are? I got them from my dad, and he doesn’t have anything about the brand or model. There is also conveniently no branding or anything on the back. Thanks!

[lean grove]

they kinda look like speakers that scammers sell to people.

[steel escarp]

I realise I have been just turning up the volume on my he1000v2 stealth to compensate for the vocals

[lean grove]

white van speaker scams

[steel escarp]

to equalize the loudness

I should not be equalizing the loudness to the vocals

[fresh niche]

No I know they’re from like an actual company that actually makes speakers

[lean grove]

you know they're from an actual company that makes speakers but you dont know which one

[icy salmon]

im using an AKG P120, im not sure i would recommend it though

[south portal]

@icy salmon Is it XLR?

[icy salmon]

it is XLR

[broken heath]

This is an emergency

I added an external sound card to a pc to get toslink for surround sound, didn’t work. How can I get surround sound with my dad’s pc

Rn it only has stereo

This is what I got btw

Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! $6.97 33％ Off | Professional USB Sound Card 6 Channel 5.1 Optical External Audio Card Converter Support AES/EBU IEC60958 S/PDIF
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mq1uN0G

[supple robin]

what are your speakers?

and is it a surround sound setup?

[broken heath]

Yes

There’s an amp, subwoofer, front speakers

Rear speakers

And sound bar

[broken heath]

No idea, it came with the house when we bought it

[supple robin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGAHFTbJVOQ

i dont know anything about speakers and surround sound but you might need an av reciever

[broken heath]

It’s 7 channel

[supple robin]

thats 6 channel 5.1

[lilac stump]

i unplugged it and pluged it back in idk its working nw

[lyric flax]

i have a hyperx cloud alpha headset and its not showing up in the hyperx ngenuity app, how do i fix this

[lean grove]

have you tried emailing hyperx tech support

[lyric flax]

yes

[lean grove]

what did they say

[lyric flax]

told me to wait for an agent

that was about 3 hours ago

but if i use the automated response it tells me to unplug it and replug the usb back in

but my headset doesnt come with a usb

[lean grove]

thats probably why its not showing up then

your computer has no way of knowing what headset you're using if theres no USB

[lyric flax]

i can hear out of it and talk

[lean grove]

and what is it connected to your computer by

like what type of connector

[lyric flax]

a headset jack

[lean grove]

yeah. your computer knows that its working

but it has no idea of knowing that its a hyperx cloud alpha

or a pair of library headphones

[lyric flax]

yea

[lean grove]

so theres no way the software can communicate with it

[lyric flax]

its calling it realtek

how do i fix that?

[lean grove]

by getting a usb

whatever dongle hyperx wants you to use

[lyric flax]

it didnt come with a usb

[lean grove]

i know

you would have to buy one i think

or your headset just doesnt have support for it

and this is just the way it is

[lyric flax]

does it matter what usb i get?

[lean grove]

if you want to use the hyperx software, yes

[lyric flax]

so which one?

[lean grove]

idk

[broken heath]

Yes but the set up I have at home is 7 channel

So that’s porbably why it didn’t work

[hidden tendon]

This totally counts as audio tech

[molten lotus]

Sony PS-LX310BT vs U turn orbit

[dense chasm]

I'd say orbit

[unborn gale]

Or just return it and get something that isn't trash.

Plus, why TF would you buy an extra USB stick when you could spend that money on something else, especially if that USB stick is something that should be included in the box in the first place.

[lyric flax]

bro so what should i get

[lyric flax]

i forgot what you recommended can you tell me again

[lyric flax]

what would you recommend

[lean grove]

It's much easier to just say something is trash and not elaborate

[unborn gale]

Elaborated, then ignored.

Jump to that message.

And I say they're trash from experience. Had a friend use a pair and it died less than a year. Plus everything about it felt cheap

@lyric flax

[elder thistle]

cloud alpha S built better than an hd600 or (insert popular headphone here)

it's actually insane

except for the cable so 💀

kinda pointless if it still has a weakpoint like that

[warm scarab]

just rma

[crude axle]

any audiophiles in here know a good pair of headphones i can get for around 75 pounds ish?

looking to get an upgrade for christmas

its more intended for gaming

[topaz briar]

Is there really a big difference in the hp version vs the kingston version of the hyperx cloud II?

[molten lotus]

any reasons why?
just wondering

cuz the sony is $50 (non issue but just wondering)

oooh the orbit comes with a free record if i order it now

lol

[steel escarp]

I am returning the hd650

I bought the Chord Qutest DAC for 1250 euros

[merry hollow]

there is quite a difference between 75$ and 150$ headphones. If you want some noisemaker that won't hold you back from enjoying games then get hyperX Cloud II. They are widely available, alright for the price and have a " GAMING™ " mic built in.

[topaz briar]

Could someone help me with this please?

[topaz briar]

Which hyperx cloud 2

Hp or kingston

People say hp ruined it but im used to quite crappy heqdphones anyways so i think they would be a good upgrade, besides only people who say the ruined them r the people who were js used to the old ones

[crude axle]

Thanks for your insight. What do you mean by noisemaker?

[merry hollow]

200$ earbud level of quality. Bland but pleasand sound profile. In my terms its everything I can't make out a diff between integrated sound card and external $100 dac+amd. It's alright if you want audio not to bother you but aren't too into it.

[topaz briar]

Do you know if the cloud 2's have good bass for music?

[merry hollow]

good bass isnt how i would measure headphones. even definition of good bass is super sketchy and manufacturers abuse it by including "bass booster" that just increases loudness of low freq sounds. to human ear louder=better sounding.

[topaz briar]

I mean i just want to know if music would sound good with them or nah

[merry hollow]

if you are looking to spend sub 100$ on something some spend >500$...yeah. I won't give you any reassurance. But generally cloud 2 are headphones I would not mind using if I had 60$ to spend.

[lean grove]

if you want good music, id recommend looking into earbuds or iems instead if you want actual quality. something like $20 earbuds can easiply compete with $100 or even some $200 headphones.

something like the truthear hola

[topaz briar]

My problem is that i find earbuds quite uncomfortable

[merry hollow]

true. My vmoda forzas do sound nice. The difference between those and 60$ large dia headphones is there tho. For longer usage I would 100% go for overear

[lean grove]

Fair enough.

There just aren't very many "good" headphones in this price range. Like the cheapest I can think of with decent bass is a koss porta pro or kph30i

[copper ermine]

whats a good turntable i was looking at the audiotechnica lp120x but its very expensive

[merry hollow]

at this price point build quality is a big deal. not falling apart after a year is not guaranteed.

[copper ermine]

ill probably get the 120x anyway haha

[dense chasm]

Orbit will sound nicer. The Sony might damage your records. Doesn't appear to have a replaceable cartridge.

Orbit would also give you upgradeability

[topaz briar]

Or would you recommend some other headset for under 100 bucks other than cloud 2

[jade hill]

Hi, does anybody have expirience with using AVR as sound output from the PC using HDMI? Just PC, no TVs or anything.

[molten lotus]

ok thank you sounds great

[jade hill]

I am wondering if there is some path supported to play the music without having to duplicate screen or use dummy plug due to the HDCP restrictions ...

[somber frigate]

right now i have a g433 head set the right side is starting to make zzz sound a bit during some songs im thing of getting new headset under 200aud= 131.64 usd

im using and i found this one for 189 aud https://www.centrecom.com.au/logitech-g-pro-x-gaming-headset?srsltid=AfmBOor6A4DbdDgPeVsGNNmsmdEMe42gIJRK6d-9RDQSXbNfR7CEucrURhA

[lean grove]

there might be a hair in the driver. see if you can remove the pad and pull it out

[somber frigate]

ty

lol

i saw some 2 hairs in there before and was like ehh that can't do it

[warm scarab]

use a thin tweezer

[lyric flax]

does anyone know if the hyperx cloud III are good?

[verbal fog]

i got moondrop katos theyre good 9/1O

[verbal fog]

dehairing headphones can help a lot with that

i had to cut up the mesh on my 40$ grados to dehair them but after a bit of work they sound perfect again

[tawdry gale]

bad

[supple robin]

ksc75

or ksc75x

or possible used k361/k371

[supple robin]

very cool

[verbal fog]

they sound like marbles when you hit them together

[molten skiff]

how is the hyperx quad cast mic

[molten lotus]

hey the sound on my laptop isnt working if anyone thinks they can help i made a post in ⁠tech-support thanks

[tawdry gale]

ksc75

[elder thistle]

I have the cloud II's, would say the bass is a little boomy but less so than the other headsets I've tried

it is also elevated in volume

for their price class and granted some of that budget goes towards the mic and usb remote, I would say they're pretty well-rounded, not being particularly good or bad at any given thing. kinda V shaped, a little bit of graininess, decent instrument separation and detail, small soundstage but it's there, some sound isolation

that kind of thing

in all honesty I would put the koss ksc75 and kph40i at about the same point as these in overall sound quality as judged by me. they're pretty balanced but suffer in the bass and didn't have a lot of resolution/detail. they are also much more fragile. they were at least easy to listen to. I needed overpriced $12 earpads to make either of them comfortable enough to wear

what kind of music do you listen to?

[somber frigate]

still got wierd sounds cleaned them out too

[warm scarab]

cable could be broken

[somber frigate]

iv checked i need new ones

[wild dust]

Need some advice w/beats studio3

Their on sale right now, and I'm not sure if their worth the 100$

[unborn gale]

they are not worth $100

beats are trash, except for their latest earbuds

[lean grove]

.

[lean grove]

what would you recommend instead

[unborn gale]

idk his budget or what he wants

or if he even needs anything else

[wild dust]

Well, over ear headphones and around a 100$

[unborn gale]

does it matter if it's open or closed back and would $150 be too much?

[elder thistle]

the beats studio 3 wireless were actually kinda impressive when I tried them

not used to $300 bluetooth headphones roughly competing with $70-100 stuff

I'd have to give it another listen to draw any useful comparisons though

but that was my conclusion at the time, with a couple such headphones in hand

it was one of those things where I had a bias against them but then couldn't draw any of the faults I expected and found it really hard to justify it as being worse

I know it was roughly around an srh440A in most aspects but it was lean in the low mids

er

or maybe an mc250

and it was less balanced tonally

das it

[willow root]

so hypotetically speaking if someonen broke the pins off the cable for the crinical zero reds what would be a good replacement cable

[willow root]

is the tripowin zonie cable good

[haughty girder]

Yes

[haughty girder]

tons of good cables out there, yinyoo 16 core and tripowin zonie are my main recs

[willow root]

im just upset i now have to spend 20 bucks on a cable

[haughty girder]

wait

so did you break a cable

if you're not looking for a premium experience, you can get a cable for 10 or less from xinhs, jcally or nicehck

[willow root]

yes the pins on the right cable are completely gone lol

[haughty girder]

Tf

I lost an iem before I broke a cable how did you do that

[willow root]

they were dangling off my desk so i accidentally stepped on them so i tried to bend them back and they disappeared

[haughty girder]

...

you got the pins out of the plug?

[willow root]

yes

[haughty girder]

well in any case I assume you don't need a great cable

just one that works and is good enough

[willow root]

as long as it sounds the same

[haughty girder]

yea so you could probably just get a cable from the latter three brands

[willow root]

and is comfortable ig

[haughty girder]

avoid any tripowin cables that aren't the Zonie and C8

Zonie is kind of the one hit wonder

[willow root]

good to know

its not like i cant pay for it i just dont feel like it

[haughty girder]

yea I understand lol

I broke the ground pin on my zonie actually

I just replaced the 3.5mm connector

and it works fine

but obviously

save money where you can

[willow root]

at least the new cable isn’t the stupid 90 degree connector

[haughty girder]

yea that's an option

you don't have to buy one with it

[willow root]

does the zonie still bend around the ear normally

[haughty girder]

yes

ofc

[willow root]

they look like they would be less comfortable bc the connector thing sticks out more

oh i didn’t even consider it the pins are stuck in the iem

[haughty girder]

...

ahahahaha

uhm

[willow root]

i don’t see them but

[haughty girder]

Good luck

[willow root]

idk how deep they go

[haughty girder]

you have some thick tweezers?

[willow root]

can i plug in the left cable to see if it goes in all the way

[haughty girder]

uh... no

dont try to jam the pins in

[willow root]

what

[haughty girder]

you have to pull the pins out

[willow root]

nono

idk if the pins are in there

[haughty girder]

wanna show a picture

it should look like an empty hole

[willow root]

it does

[haughty girder]

surrounded by a gold ring

oh

[willow root]

the left cable goes in al the way

thankfully

[haughty girder]

oh

huh how'd you get the pins out

[willow root]

they weren’t in there to begin with

[haughty girder]

nonetheless yea go for it

[willow root]

i just didn’t know if like a small piece of them were in them that i couldn’t see

[haughty girder]

ahh

the pins don't shatter

just bend then snap

[willow root]

idk where they flew off to

[haughty girder]

these are actually fairly standard to have it sticking out

it's for iems that have the the connector recessed into the shell like moondrops

but I've never felt that it's less comfortable than one that is flush

[willow root]

don’t mind the math

[haughty girder]

ahh I don't miss calc

well

if the pins aren't there then you should be good to go

also I see what you mean by it sticks out more

[willow root]

yes

[haughty girder]

I actually find that they feel a little looser/relaxed than the shorter counterparts

[willow root]

that’s good at least

[haughty girder]

more comfortable, but could feel too loose

ie. the earhook may come off the ear

[willow root]

i barely need the hook so

should be fine

[haughty girder]

but it's as if not more comfortable

[fresh saddle]

I agree

Embrace the math

Whenever I do algebra I just write things in random places and nothing makes sense but I get the answer (hopefully)

[merry hollow]

Nightmare of any future colleague.

[deft marten]

So i want my teams calls to play through my speakers but i dont want my microphoen to pick that up is there a way to solve that

[lean grove]

Not really. You just gotta have your mic close to your mouth and far from your speakers and that won't fix the problem.

[fervent tangle]

Are these good? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CCZ1SQ8G?

[lean grove]

Uhhh not really. If you want comfort and quiet yeah they're okay.

If you want good sound, you can do better.

Something like the audeze Maxwell or decent iems are gonna be way better.

[fervent tangle]

Examples on which ones u think are good?

[lean grove]

I would always recommend the truthear hola and truthear zero:red paired with a qudelix 5k.

Qudelix 5k turns any wired earbuds/headphones to wireless(ish).

So then you can get $20 earbuds that sound better than literally any wireless earbuds.

[lusty sparrow]

hello, can anyone here reccomend me a pair of wireless earbuds with anc for about 60 pounds (uk) ive been looking at JBL tune beam theyre on offer but is any good finds im missing

[lean grove]

Take a look at the moondrop space travel.

[lusty sparrow]

huh

how tf

are 24 pound earbuds better?

are they actually good or just snakeoil

[lean grove]

Earbuds are actually incredibly cheap to manufacture and moondrop is a reputable manufacturer.

They were one of the first companies to make pretty cheap pretty good earbuds.

[fervent tangle]

I have about 100usd(can push it up a bit) either way u where taking about these? https://www.amazon.com/Fanmusic-TRUTHEAR-Crinacle-Zero-Headphone/dp/B0C5QWMGM6

[lean grove]

Yes.

[lusty sparrow]

so is jbl gona just charge for "branding"? and theyre worth a lot less to manufactur

[fervent tangle]

Are there any better ones?

[lean grove]

Well, maybe, maybe not. There's something to be said about noise cancelling, tuning, product design.

I think the biggest feature of any tws is how easy it is to use, to store. Like the apple airpods case is so incredibly small, can be stored in a pocket no problem, and you can start and stop listening to music in seconds.

The moondrops have a shitty case. Like if I had to use that while drunk I bet you I'd lose something.

The jbls seem to have a better case design than the moondrops.

[viscid rapids]

good headphones under 60€?

over ear, for gaming

[lusty sparrow]

im not sure anymore, i DO have 60gpb to spend so im a bit confused, i just want some better than my jlab go air

but best for the price asweel

[lean grove]

JBL is a good bang for buck brand too. So I don't think you'll get scammed with the tune beams. So is the £40 worth it for a better case and a mildly worse sound? Up to you.

Mildly worse being like, extremely mild

[lusty sparrow]

imo the space ones look cool

[lean grove]

Ummm. Yes maybe. But I'm not the best person to ask for that. Truthear hexa might also be looking into, but as for best under $100 idk.

I know that the truthears I mentioned are incredibly good value.

[fervent tangle]

Alr

[lean grove]

The qudelix can pretty much fix any major problem with the earbuds with EQ.

[fervent tangle]

U mean this? https://www.amazon.com/Qudelix-5K-Bluetooth-Adaptive-Unbalanced-Balanced/dp/B088F7C976

[lusty sparrow]

what did you mean by the jbl are worse

sound******

[lean grove]

It looks like they have a heavier "V" shape to them. So more treble and more bass.

That can be considered a "fun" sound signature, but imo if you have to listen to a fun sound signature then you're just not listening to fun music.

It can backfire and some music that already has a lot of treble or a lot of bass can become extremely annoying.

Moreso in the treble.

But for like, 90% of normal people they tend to prefer the v shape because it sounds more intense.

Actually now that I think about it, the moondrops have a companion app that lets you change the sound signature slightly

[lean grove]

Yes. It has a power EQ system that let's you change the way your headphones or earbuds sound to an incredibly specific level.

There's a bit of a learning curve on how to use it properly

But you can also just see if your earbuds or headphones are in the database and it will make one for you

[warm scarab]

pretty nice detail for a mobile eq app

[lean grove]

This eq pretty much makes my $20 earbuds sound like arguably much more expensive earbuds.

[steel escarp]

@lean grove @warm scarab I got the hd650

its actually good

@unique wind

[unique wind]

[lean grove]

https://tenor.com/view/sarcastic-kirk-gif-20910726

[tepid torrent]

what

did I change timelines?

[lean grove]

All it took for you to make a good purchase decision is for you to not believe it was good.

Crazy

[unique wind]

grey is experiencing accurate midrange for the first time

[steel escarp]

its not accurate

[unique wind]

yeah true the mid-upperbass is slightly raised

the eargain is correct though

[steel escarp]

these things legitemately stage pretty well next to my he1000v2 stealth

because vocals sound really big

but its only big in front of me

okay actually dt880 has more bass

fuck

and more stage

more everything

good thing I am returning hd650 tomorrow

[haughty girder]

lmaooooooo

[unique wind]

LOLLL

[steel escarp]

okay let me return it right now actually

[unique wind]

faster mindchange than sharur

[steel escarp]

how does dt880 clap it so hard

[haughty girder]

Preference/familiarity

probably

[steel escarp]

hd650 is big front stage and I was turning up the volume to compensate for the darker treble

[unique wind]

yeah probably

aside from bass and treble extension hd650 is the objectively better headphone

[steel escarp]

I EQ the peak out of dt880

hd650 has no bass compared to even dt880

[haughty girder]

warm tilt vs u shape

I wonder why

[unique wind]

[steel escarp]

I did a sine sweep

They are not even close in bass

The measurements are faulty

I returned them

Btw

[lean grove]

you're right it must be the two entirely different measurement rigs by two entirely different people agreeing with eachother being wrong

[steel escarp]

Nils, I did a sine sweep

[lean grove]

you absolutely dont have any bias, and you made sure to perfectly level match them

you also have a really good history of being right all the time so that works in your favor too.

[steel escarp]

The guy who did the measurements didn't amp them properly

Or got a bad seal

[lean grove]

they're velour pads

[steel escarp]

My DT880s slap

Like hard

[lean grove]

also didnt amp them properly is like, famous cope

[steel escarp]

Wait it's the 32 ohm dt880 in that graph

That one is worse

[lean grove]

famously

[steel escarp]

I have a much higher damping factor which results in much better bass control

[lean grove]

whats the resonant frequency of the dt880

[steel escarp]

6kHz likely

The small amount of midbass is a thing almost all headphones with valour pads have

[lean grove]

no, its a little under 100hz

worse damping factor would add bass, if anything

seems to be in the same spot for the 250 ohm dt880 as well

[steel escarp]

I played the hd650 loud af to test if I could hear any sub bass kicks

0

[lean grove]

what you're saying is that you didnt level match them

[steel escarp]

With the dt880 they were audible at normal listening levels

[lean grove]

are you sure this isnt cope?

[steel escarp]

You cannot compensate for roloff with increasing volume

If the roloff is strong enough

DT880 better

[lean grove]

crazy you were this quick to return them when the window is usually a week

[steel escarp]

Have you even side by side compared them yourself

[steel escarp]

I was already gonna return them after spending 1250 on the chord qutest yesterday

Already filled out the return form before even getting them

Priorities

[lean grove]

so what you're saying is that you listened to them knowing you were going to return them

[steel escarp]

Yes

[lean grove]

and that didnt affect your expectations at all?

[steel escarp]

I also listened to them at the store 2 days ago

It didn't change my experience

I gotta go pump some iron at the gym rn

Chugged a whole Redbull I bought at the post office

[lean grove]

you walked into them thinking you didnt like them, come to that same conclusion in your head, return them before you even have a chance to listen to them, and then now you're out here saying that these two pretty similar headphones are in fact widely different and that all these measurements are wrong

yeah idk, sounds like cope.

[steel escarp]

I demoed them without any expectations as I never heard them

But then again, you speak like you side to side compared them while I doubt you did

In isolation hd650 was not bad

I was pretty positive about it earlier

[lean grove]

all im saying is that maybe a few hours oof listening when you're already super biased isn't gonna give you a good idea of how good or bad a headphone is

you had the chance to eat a whole meal, you took a bite, turned up your nose saying your dino nuggies are better

like that's not worth anything

[steel escarp]

The store was closing soon

I had to return them

[lean grove]

same day?

they dont have a return period?

[steel escarp]

Yeah

I had 4 days max to return it after filling in the return form

I mean, could of had fun with it for longer

[lean grove]

.

[steel escarp]

It wasn't a terrible headphone. But it's not worth it next to dt880

And I EQ the peaks out of dt880

I can always demo them again at the store, but like. I have the he1000 stealth...

Kind of pointless to look at lowfi

I did take my full week with the fiio ft3

Even though the small earcups were genuinely uncomfortable for my ears

Something about that thing's instrument separation and layering was just so cool

[warm scarab]

in the industry, we call this a grey moment

[steel escarp]

[steel escarp]

Tbh I only bought 6xx to meme it

Like actually being legit

[unique wind]

this is definitely a grey moment

dude bought a $1250 dac and then bought and returned hd650 in like two hours

[lean grove]

He just wasn't powering the 650 correctly

If he had used a real DAC it would have blown him away

[unique wind]

for sure

he needs to go rebuy it and also buy like 5 amps

[steel escarp]

The Chord Qutest is coming next week

But the ifi zen signature DAC is still more expensive than the 650

You were the one lecturing me buying a 1000 euro tube amp for the dt880

[lean grove]

Was I

I don't recall.

That doesn't sound like me

moment

[steel escarp]

It's still better than dt770

@lean grove there are measurements where it does not roll off

[gritty parrot]

How can i connect my 2 JBL Stage A130 to my pc there only 1 line out and we beed to split between left and right and negative and positive for each side

I can also use my steelseries gamedac gen 2 as a amp i guess?

[buoyant vale]

you need a speaker amp

[whole stirrup]

is this the right channel to find help on why my new headset only has audio out the left ear? it happened w my old headset so does that mean its an issue w my computer

[gritty parrot]

They say it have one in the gamedac if you look

[gritty parrot]

But how to i do that after

[buoyant vale]

No

[buoyant vale]

read it

[gritty parrot]

Built-in amplifiers

[buoyant vale]

Read it again

[gritty parrot]

It not clear

Lmao

[buoyant vale]

no it is

[gritty parrot]

Then if you say so how to i connect a fricking amp to a pc

Cause idk

[lean grove]

That's literally the exact same measurement. It doesn't look like it rolls off because the graph is normalized differently.

Also the one I posted is compensated

[steel escarp]

cope

okay looking closer you are right

but it has more bass despite the graph

a graph does not say everything

[lean grove]

Of course not but when you say "more bass" and you don't mean "the literal volume at which the bass frequencies play" then what you're doing is saying inaccurate

It's possible that your unique head shape interacts with the headphones in a very unique way. The graphs are supposed to represent normal conditions.

Personally I think it's more in your head than the shape of it.

[gritty parrot]

?

[lean grove]

!

[gritty parrot]

Na it a question

[steel escarp]

the dt880 legitemately produced deep bass notes in the song hotel calefornia

and I almost maxed out my amp on hd650 and heard nothing

like its not volume matched but hd650 is so much louder it should start producing some audible sub bass at that point

[lean grove]

Do you think maybe you modding the headphones potentially fucked them

Maybe you accidentally added a vent and now there's a bass boost

[steel escarp]

I closed the hole where the cable used to be

the drivers should still be sturdy in place too

[lean grove]

Well the drivers flopping around would be obvious

I'm thinking more around the new cable slots or whatever

Or maybe you just didn't put something together correctly

[steel escarp]

epoxy glued the female 3.5mm

[lean grove]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[steel escarp]

I mean the size of the female 3.5mm takes a tiny bit of rear driver space

which could affect the sound in some manner

I also tried the hd650 single ended on my amp

the balanced out is better

so it could legitemately have something to do with that

[gritty parrot]

How to i connect an amplifier to a pc

[lean grove]

which amplifier

[gritty parrot]

Well what would be a good one to pair with my 2 jbl stage a130?

[gritty parrot]

God why so expensive
