hello peeps
which one is better to use as audio software, elgato wavelink or steelseries's sonar?
like in term beginner friendly, overall mastery?

Need new mic setup what would y'all recommend for gaming with some buddies and light streaming/YouTube for around $200
calm maple
I like the Razer Seiren Pro, but there are probably better options if you have $200 to spend
terse river
The v3 chroma is somewhat better, and it costs 120 bucks
It’s alright, though some are likely better for the price. It does have plenty of quality for your use case, so I would just get it or something with similar audio quality and save your money
calm maple
Why do you think the V3 Chroma is better than the V2 Pro?
I know I didn't specify the V2 pro
terse river
V3 has condenser capsule while the v2 has dynamic capsule
calm maple
Ah I was not aware of that
Do you think it would be worth upgrading from a V2 Pro to the V3 Chroma?
Probably not, but it feels like Razer is overdue for a new Seiren

waste of money
also waste of money to spend 120$ on a usb mic
you can get an xlr setup for that much
calm maple
waste of money
I'm not a professional mic user, idek what XLR is
calm maple
So if the Chroma isn't worth it I'll keep what I have
warm scarab
do you have a reason to upgrade
calm maple
Not really, I just like my friends to be able to hear me well in discord calls
warm scarab
can they not do that with the v2 pro?
calm maple
It sounds okay, but nothing compared to what I hear streamers have
warm scarab
streamers don't sound good because they own exceptional mics
they just know how to configure them and use them well
sm7b which is the most popular streaming microphone is something that you can compete with using 20$ xlr mics
this isn't an issue or a situation you can change by throwing money at it, you will have to improve your mic technique, adjust noise gate, eq and improve dictation
calm maple
Yeah I tend to mumble a lot
warm scarab
i was looking into maybe the Tonor TD510
imo it sounds overtly warm but nothing aside from that

I guess a mic can't fix that

hey all, me again
Picked up the pair of rokit 7s and they're pretty great so far!
One issue; while I have them connected to my interface, with the interface connected to my laptop, there's very little hiss, honestly barely noticable.
When I connect the interface to any of the usb ports on my desktop, there's a very noticable inconsistant humming noise. I also noticed the noise changes when, for exmaple, alt tabbing on my keyboard.
Any clue? Was going to order some better xlr cables, since my current 6.3mm jacks aren't balanced cables. It's odd to me as they sound perfect on my laptop, but not on my desktop.

USB noise is hard to fix.
Something like the jds labs synapse but it might not be able to deliver enough power to your interface

Rq 880s or 990s mainly for mixing/mastering
I will say the 880/990 and even the hd560s are difficult for me to try and mix on
I'd still take 990 250r over modern hd560s though. that extra instrument separation is important
hd6xx has dynamics appropriate for headphone mixing
so does the mackie mc450, which is similar to an upgraded dt990 with less bass volume

elder thistle
provably any arbitrary kz product is going to sound like an estat vs k361 or something unless I do 12db of surgical eq

its actually not worth lisyening to sound if it has to come through them
elder thistle
I probably get less treble on these than most people
elder thistle
Jackson is an interesting type
why is it that you push tonality all the time, then the one time I actually complain about tonality you're against it
haughty girder
You somehow justify a DT990 citing its instrument separation meanwhile it being one of the most sibilant headphones I've ever listened to
it's not even especially resolving
elder thistle
in the context of modern hd560s, yes its slightly more resolving
and it is sibilant
haughty girder
you then go on and say ZS10 Pros are resolving or smth
go on with something something microdetail
you're listening to treble peaks from shit tuning and calling it detail
the thing has a bass shelf that doesn't just bleed into the mids it just swallows it
and you're out here justifying tonal performance of a ZS10 Pro
elder thistle
I dont judge most techs based on tone. I verify that eq doesnt create changes
zinc rain
Wait are my HD560S’s suddenly bad now lmao

because EQ can't fix treble the same way it can with mids and bass

mint sparrow
You'll need an amp to go between the interface and the speakers
so what i need is an amp? I honestly thought my interface would be an amp since it has a volume knob xd
is there a good REALLY REALLY cheap amp? because those speakers are £15 for the pair and mine are currently 'game brand' gamer speakers
and dont do good sound
this looks like an amp, but like where do these stripped wire things go? there are 2 per speaker
and this is my audio interface at the back o_o
mint sparrow
wait i'm sorry, i'm really confused now. the amps that i'm seeing from fosi have pretty much the exact same IO as what i've got, why do i need an amp if I have this kind of stuff on my audio interface? and i still dont understand what to do with the stripped wires, is there something i get an adapter with??
buoyant vale
The wires go into the binding posts on speaker amps
mint sparrow
..binding posts??
why are they not attatched????
so if i get these speakers, i'd have to buy an amp AND binding posts?
so should i just look for active speakers instead? that sounds like i wouldn't need those things to sort my issue
buoyant vale
No the binding posts are part of the amplifier
stuck bolt
Wait, pause, what are you looking for exactly

i'm looking for speakers that will plug into my audio interface

Yeah just get actives then
mint sparrow
actives will plug into my wall and i'll have what, 1/4 inch jacks to go directly into the audio interface to make it simple?
or am i missing something that i've not been informed of

haven't tried that one, but in theory / from what I've heard from others, it will have the same sort of issues
it's a consequence of stereotypical planar behavior. when you have all the sounds pushed to a similar volume playing field (including the volume changes for a single instrument), there is no contrast

So I guess it's just hifiman sound in general. I do notice the sundaras to sound way worse than my airpoid pros when it came o metal even though they aren't comparable. The sundaras are great in other genres however. I'm not going to exclusively be listening to metal on these headphones as I mostly use my airpods for that anyways.
The Arya stealth would be for movies, low bpm music, and gaming.

I ditched competitive games
only one I still play at times is marvel rivals but I don't game at a high rank only at Grandmaster 1 It's as casual a shooter can get
I'll still have my sundaras if the arya is awful in gaming
elder thistle
I think the nature of that game makes direction of sounds a lot less important lol
hearty vine
if they're not good I will just go back to sennheiser and get the hd490
elder thistle
I do like the XS for story games or open world and such
they really throw reverbs and make all sorts of sounds swirl around me
same for movies
also it's not that these planars can't image, they can provide the most vivid placement in binaural audio experiences I've heard
it's just finnicky and can be reversed or portray a different angle depending on the exact sound
viscid tangle
if they're not good I will just go back to sennheiser and get the hd490
The arya can work well with any genre but honestly sucks in genres with heavy compression. Pop and hip hop usually use heavy amounts of compression and most of them are badly produced.
The arya would excel in classical music
viscid tangle
if they're not good I will just go back to sennheiser and get the hd490
Seems like you even noticed with your airpods and your sundaras how bad planars sound with rock and metal. I would honestly get the hd490 pro, cheaper and sennheiser 490 pros can work with anything.
elder thistle
but aren't those supposed to be less resolving than an hd600?
I cannot stand my hd560s in some rock music and definitely not metal. the garbled mess, smeariness, and severe loss of clarity is irritating and I'd rather not listen to music if it sounds that way

elder thistle
there are zero tests proving that edition xs has the dynamics of an hd600 either
this has always been a stalemate situation in audio
the only route available is human testing, which we get in a disorganized form known as firsthand experience from audiophiles
there's also firsthand experience from music producers, which are much more like audiophiles than they usually imagine

binge actually tested them in ief
said there was a max deviation of 2db between the headphones he tested
and 0.2 on average
planars, estats, dynamics were among his samples
its pure cope
link it to something not entirely speculative if you want to say planars dont do metal well
something you can actually back up and is an actual metric of performance measurement
you got filtered
I win
bot is with me
I leave
you are wrong btw
@lean grove will continue to argue with you in my stead
elder thistle
well I'll say this: it's perceptually strange and not quite like compression or eq when it happens
but the hd600 hits harder for me at 80hz than the edition xs does in jack wall - s***ide mission, particularly with the cinematic drums
and the xs brings the other quieter sounds way closer together
so I would estimate that 80hz on the cinematic drums feels 7db extra on the hd600, or about 5 higher relative to the xs

but that's a very dangerous thing to slap numbers on

Speakers
warm scarab
you could get 50 dudes in a room with untrained ears
and they wouldn't be able to tell 1 amplifier from another
it does change sound but it isn't as drastic as you make it out to be
and again there is zero proof that your transparent sound is what sounds natural to you or your listeners nor is there proof they will have the same chip
you shouldn't be concerned about such marginal differnces in chain while a headphone, speaker or the room treatment can change the outcome hundreds of times more
