#

My reasons are only backed by facts in other words

#

As in what the driver physically is, how it objectively responds in frequency per mw, how they objectively will or will not distort, etx

#

While yours is almost opinions if opinion meant wrong

#

Because opinions can not change objective properties

brisk parcel
#

even the driver size is different, 559 has a 40mm driver, 58X has a 38mm driver

thick plank
#

Sound stage and fr are objective as are what driver is innplace

brisk parcel
#

while, ironically enough, the 660S ALSO has a 38mm driver

thick plank
#

If I hate highs I might hat an hd80p for example

#

But that doesn't mean I can make a claim opposed to its physical nature like (it has a small sound stage and a slow driver)

#

@brisk parcel actually the voice coil on the 660 is a different size too in mm wide not impedance and it is also slightly wider in spite of still fitting in 38mm and there alsk are countless headsets with 38mm drivers

solar raft
thick plank
#

It is actually a pretty common driver size

#

For dynamic drivers that is

brisk parcel
#

no, opinions can't change physical properties, HOWEVER, when the physical properties are DIFFERENT, you can't claim they're the same when they're not

thick plank
#

The difference is they dont share any physical properties

#

From the magnet, to voice coil, to the fact the 660 ditches the paper rear of the driver for a specific metal material sennheiser uses, to the fact that the membrane is lighter and thinner and a completely different shape

#

@brisk parcel which is why it is a good thing every part i claimed to be the same physical part is

#

In fact they even share the same part numbers on the membrane ironically

#

The 58x and 559/599/560s to be clear

#

Difference is all of those have a chasis that pulls the driver farther away

#

Which gives them a bit more of a sound stage and a much better ability to image

#

The 600 series parts image in 3 blobs because rhe driver is so close to the ear that you only get depth from the inner portion of the coil, the tip of the center for highs, and rhe edges kf the driver for mids

#

Meaning you dont get much depth at all

#

And you dont more imaging thatv3 blobs per driver

#

Most headsets image by having a wide driver that reflects off the sides of the chasis to the ear and get a lot of that imaging from some frequencies primarily hitting behind the hear which changes how your mind processes them or hitting the front

#

Something electrostats for example also tend to do really well with mids

#

Which is why most electrostat users will tell you vocalist sound dead infront of them no matter how wide the headset generally sounds

brisk parcel
#

how do they not share any physical properties when they're the same size? how does that make sense? the membrane isn't even a different shape.

#

currently digging around for the so-called voice coil babble you're on about

#

electrostats are totally different, and also in a totally different price range, not getting into that rn

thick plank
#

No, the membrane is a different shape and thickness and pattern

#

What makes a driver have most of its characteristics is how the patterning and thickness on certain areas of the driver are done

#

The 58x and 660s are not the same in any way here

#

They literally only share a size which is probably one of the more common driver sizes and even there they are not the exact same 38mm

#

One is a slightly wider driver in that same range of 38 to 39mm

#

However, again there is another headset that does share the exact size with the 58x

#

It also shares the same housing, same membrane, same paper back, even the same wires going to the driver

#

And the same dampener

brisk parcel
#

where the hell did you get your voice coil info

#

can't find anything on them being the same as the 559 at all

thick plank
#

The voice going is basically what pushes away from the magnet and if you have a longer one you get a higher impedance which means you pick up less distortion from an amp

#

Mainly tube amps

brisk parcel
#

I mean I still stick to my stance that they're just different on the tubes, as they obviously should be considering it's a tube amp, yes the 600 and 650, IMO, do come alive a bit more on the tubes than the 559, 598, 58x, and 660s, but they just sound so similarly tuned, I don't get what you're getting at because I still love them a lot more than other cans I have tried in this price range, next on my list is the hifiman 4xx, those planars, but like I said dude sometimes it's not about physical properties because the driver tuning is really similar they don't sound very alike at all, I'm not about to take them apart again but if I really have to I will

last plinth
#

What does lightbulb on amp do

brisk parcel
#

they're the tubes

last plinth
#

oh

#

What do they do tho

brisk parcel
#

there's such a thing as a hybrid which uses tubes but also has solid state components in it, there's different amp classes, but not gonna get into that now

#

so about the tubes and what they do

last plinth
#

yes?

#

what do they do

brisk parcel
#

sorry had to talk to my dad for a sec lmao

#

so the tubes come down to a science, they

#

crap didn't mean to hit enter lmao

last plinth
#

pauseChamp

thick plank
#

To start with tuning isnt a thing. The headsets dont have any digital parts eqing and it is all down to physical properties

#

Second off if you mean frequency response they arent similar at all there either

#

They are all very different reverse v shapes

#

Mid forward is the only similarity

#

And not even in amount

#

It would be like saying the 990 and hd800 are the same thing cause high heavy

#

And hybrids are just tube amps that are using opamps for the power stage instead of tubes for power

#

Meaning less distortion with plannars and low impedance dynamics

#

And lower power

#

As in less power loss as heat

brisk parcel
#

they're actually "vacuum tubes" there's no air in them, and lots of electrons. there's a cathode, lots of other scientific babble, but they make the sound go brrrr basically. to put it simply lmao. there's power tubes and driver tubes, it's kinda hard to explain what they really "do" to the sound since I'm a bit new to tubes and jumped into it to learn more and start tube rolling and other stuff. it has to do with the tubes themselves and how they work, there's a science there I don't really fully grasp yet but I'll get there

#

and yes that too ^ the thing about hybrids and not full tube amps like a darkvoice which is apparently a good stepping stone into like full tube amps

last plinth
#

Theres no air in lightbulbs either

brisk parcel
#

yeah, they have similar properties, tubes are just a little extra

thick plank
#

Why are you wording that like you are correcting someone when you are the one who doesn't understand tubes lol

brisk parcel
#

how am I wording that like I'm correcting someone?

#

no I don't fully understand tubes but I have somewhat of an idea

west hornet
#

sounds more liek you are trying to correct someone

thick plank
#

The first part with you adding actually made it seem like you were strawmaning to pretend someone was claiming they aint vacuum tubes

west hornet
#

and actually some headphones do have tuning with onboard eq, which i am against

brisk parcel
#

I should've put "actually called" instead of just "actually", yes. I was trying to break things down more cause I know that cntrl understands a little more when I get into detail

thick plank
#

@west hornet some have built on amps but not eq

west hornet
#

yes, ive seen it before

thick plank
#

Like the orpheus which converts voltage for the estat driver on the final stage in rhebactual chasis

#

And most Bluetooth headsets

#

And the blue headset

#

And tubes do the same job as an opamp

#

But they are generally less detailed and flat

#

And because they are higher resistance they tend to lose some higher frequencies which are more sensitive

#

And shorter pulses

#

They also are way more power hungry cause they literally are heaters

#

As in 2 pins connect purely with the purpose of making heat for the tube to function

#

Also they see more interference from external sources cause they arent perfect vacuums and because they are more exposed tk external ac voltage

#

But they can sound nice for some headsets like the hd800, t1, hd700, and some other high impedance dynamic driver headsets

last plinth
#

Should i get amp with tube

#

or no

#

(Only time im ever gonna get stuff like this)

thick plank
#

Start off with full solid state

#

And change opamps

brisk parcel
#

^ start with solid state like we talked about

#

then you can venture into tubes

amber oracle
#

@thick plank & @brisk parcel are both of you done with weeing on the furniture in here?

brisk parcel
#

what?

#

oh i've been done lmao

amber oracle
#

because it would benefit both of you to learn when/how to engage in a weeing contest like what you did.

brisk parcel
#

oh probably I won't lie

#

i'll get there, better than i used to be at least 🙂

amber oracle
#

hey, as long as you are having fun

brisk parcel
#

I had plenty fun

little crater
#

so ive been thinking about upgrading the opamps on my sound card. at the same time i really dont know what to expect from such an upgrade, and what kind of difference it would make.
also i have no idea what differentiates one option over another outside of a model number.

#

Here's EVGAs officially supported list tho, not that it means anything to me
AD823
ADA4001-2
Burson V6 Classic
LM4562
LME49720
LT1469
MUSES8920
OP249
OP275
OPA1642
OPA1652
OPA2107
OPA2134
OPA2228
TLE2072

thick plank
#

V6 probably ain't gonna fit @little crater

#

That thing is huge

#

Also if you are not going fkr a specific sound and just want accurate and wide then get a sparko lab single or dual end opamp

little crater
#

yeah ik

#

the others fit tho

thick plank
#

They are super accurate and detailed and add a bit to sound stage over most opamps

#

Just figure out if your current one is sibgke or dual ended

little crater
#

aren't they like more than 50 dollars tho

#

if my 30 minutes of google searching has told me anything, those ones are too expensive lmao

thick plank
#

They are cheaper than the v6

little crater
#

I wasn't ever gonna get the v6

thick plank
#

And they re definitely worth it

#

Which opamp is in there rn?

little crater
#

I guess for a specific sound, I'm looking for cleaner sounding highs. currently they sound kinda like crap

thick plank
#

That could also be your headset just having loud highs

#

Which headset is it?

little crater
#

I think it's the AD8056

last plinth
#

@brisk parcel

#

Sassy dont listen to fortnut

little crater
#

bruh I hardly wanna listen to what you have to say 99% of the time smh

amber oracle
#

@last plinth chill.

thick plank
#

If it is that then you are gonna need a dual opamp

last plinth
#

ninja says fortnut is a troll

amber oracle
#

and dont comment when you are way way way outclassed.

#

@last plinth less BS mate.

little crater
#

fortnut hasn't said anything to me so far that would make him sound like a troll

thick plank
#

The ad8056 is a dual circuit opamp

little crater
#

yeah, and apparently it's decent, but there are better options

last plinth
#

you're really having fun being a troll right now, aren't you. look man I'm tired as hell and I had a long ass day, I really don't want to repeat the same convo we had months ago, which I proved you wrong in, and now you're just stirring things up again for no reason at all

thick plank
#

It isnt super cheap either which usually is a good sign

little crater
#

hence why I want to give upgrading it a go

amber oracle
#

@last plinth how about you go back to #general-chat and post "out of context" bait comments like that there?

thick plank
#

Like the energizer for the 95x i modded because the opamps it uses are garbage which sucks cause the driver is great and detailed

little crater
#

cntrlkey, don't bring up convos you had no part in

last plinth
#

??

little crater
#

also that's way out of context lmao

last plinth
#

Just saying

amber oracle
#

yes, you are saying BS

last plinth
#

ninja said dont listen to him

thick plank
#

I'm trying to remember the chip's name but I have an idea on a cheap chip that could help

little crater
#

and that has nothing to do with you

last plinth
#

If u want to 🤷‍♂️

thick plank
#

Let me try to get rhe part number

amber oracle
#

@last plinth be aware. YOU are the one acting like a troll right now.

west hornet
#

chill

last plinth
#

ok ill stop talking

little crater
#

but to recap, things like high frequency percussion sounds kinda meh, was wondering if getting a better opamp would help a bit

thick plank
#

@little crater muses 02 I think you can get for like $30 ish

little crater
#

I would pay 30

thick plank
#

Make sure you get a dual end opamp chip though

#

Cause if you get single it will probably just die or not work

little crater
#

I might snag a few different ones to try out, I'm more curious about how the amp changes the way it sounds

#

yeah, I can Google fu pretty well to figure out what I need

thick plank
#

I still haven't really found a bass heavy opamp so if while researching you find one let me know cause I want to get one for my littlebear

cunning hearth
#

Hey guys what headset would u recommend for gaming?

thick plank
#

@cunning hearth what do you want to pay?

cunning hearth
#

Im thinking about the hyperx cloud alpha but idk if its good

#

100 or so

thick plank
#

Go for a 559 or a ur40 and a mic

#

Honestly if you want, I have an extra 559 I'm getting rid of that I could give you for 60usd

#

Got the b4 as a portable amp so I dont really have a use for an efficient headset any more

cunning hearth
#

Send a link? To the 559

cunning hearth
#

Thx

#

Ill look into it

thick plank
#

But if you care a lot about mic quality you can get a ur40 and a really nice mic

#

Or a ur40 and save some money and get an equal quality mic

cunning hearth
#

Mm ok thx

thick plank
#

There are also some nice vintage electret headsets you can get used but those can be a pain to find

cunning hearth
#

Btw is it surround sound or stereo?

neon quartzBOT

fortnut#7992 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

last plinth
#

str8 buggin

thick plank
#

Any headset with more than 2 drivers will sound like "poop"

cunning hearth
#

Poop

#

Wait idk is the cloud alpha any good tho

#

Cuz i rly like the looks of it

thick plank
#

No

#

They have a tiny sound stage, almost no imaging, and sound muddy and just blah

cunning hearth
#

No? Are any hyperx headsets good

thick plank
#

No

cunning hearth
#

Ah ok

last plinth
#

Cloud alpha is decent

thick plank
#

Irobically they are especially bad for gaming

cunning hearth
#

Lmao why

thick plank
#

Because their sound stage is so 2d and close

#

So pinpointing where people are is a pain

cunning hearth
#

Mmm is senhiser best

thick plank
#

Far from it

cunning hearth
#

Ah lol

#

Ok thx a lot

#

R u an audiophile?

thick plank
#

They only have like 2.5 headsets i really recommend

amber oracle
#

@cunning hearth he is someone that cares about sound

#

that is all you need to know.

cunning hearth
#

Mmm i can tell

thick plank
#

The hd800 and 850 (specifically for gaming only), the hd559 for budget gaming, and the hd6xx (only for music but not for gaming)

cunning hearth
#

Thx

thick plank
#

Sennheiser sort of screwed themselves by focusing so much on dynamic headsets

#

And they have the knowledge on how to make an alright electrostatic

#

They could have been pressing on stax's marketshare if they really pursued that

#

But they didn't

cunning hearth
#

How much is the 800 or 850

thick plank
#

Usually used like $800

cunning hearth
#

Jesus ok that’s too much

#

Any good mics u would recommend? Not to expensive, like 100 range

thick plank
#

I'm not really an expert on microphones

#

That I'm sure someone else may be more useful to ask

cunning hearth
#

Ok u helped a lot thx

thick plank
#

No issue

cunning hearth
#

Oh one more question is the SteelSeries arctic 1 any good

thick plank
#

Also no

#

They are more comfortable than hyper x headsets imo but the same issues

normal barn
#

@cunning hearth hi u need mic recomendations?

#

whats ur buget,headphones

#

and stuff

#

ok imam cut to the chase

cunning hearth
#

100 for headphones and 100 mic

normal barn
#

u got a pc?

cunning hearth
#

Yeah? Why

normal barn
#

and will u be using it on phone?

cunning hearth
#

Nope

#

Wired is fine

normal barn
#

like the headset

cunning hearth
#

Nope

normal barn
#

will u be using on ur phone

#

ok so like

#

i would recocmedned 2 50$ mics

#

for for the headset and one for pc

cunning hearth
#

Ok

cunning hearth
#

Wait why i need one for headset

last plinth
#

@cunning hearth either just get hyperx cloud alpha

normal barn
#

hey

last plinth
#

Or get cloud alpha and fifine usb mic combo

normal barn
#

ask him

#

which

#

one

#

he wants

#

open back

#

semi open

#

or

#

closed back

cunning hearth
#

Whats the difference

last plinth
#

ssenti

cunning hearth
#

Mm

last plinth
#

open back is like

#

better

#

So either get cloud alpha and fifine usb combo

cunning hearth
#

Is there any difference in sound or is it just confirt

#

Comfort

last plinth
#

sound difference

cunning hearth
#

Oh ok

last plinth
#

comfort depends on preference and pads

#

shp9500 is comfy

normal barn
#

sh9500

#

that what im goona get

last plinth
#

i recommend shp9500 and fifine usb mic combo

#

150$

cunning hearth
#

Ill get the sennhiser 559 with the ffine

last plinth
#

ok

cunning hearth
#

Shp9500? Link?

normal barn

#

so like yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

#

@cunning hearth no ro

#

that should be liek 150

#

and then get this amp

last plinth
#

ssenti dont get vmoda boom pro

normal barn
#

ye dont get it if u got a pc

#

i got a laptop so like yeeeeeeeee

last plinth
#

if u plan on actually having a good mic

#

Vmoda boom pro sounds bad

cunning hearth
#

Do i need an amp?

last plinth
#

No

#

optional

cunning hearth
#

Ok

normal barn
#

but like

cunning hearth
#

If i need to take it places should i get hyperx cloud alpha

normal barn
#

if u want to make the most of it

last plinth
#

No

#

ur gonna look really dumb walking around with gaming headphones

#

shp9500 is the way to go

cunning hearth
#

Lmao not like that but like using it at other ppls houses or stuff

last plinth
#

Yea shp9500 either way

#

Cheaper and sounds better

#

a steal

cunning hearth
#

Ok

Thx

obsidian dock
#

hey guys so i just bought this desk, and it wobbles a lot when i play. but, when i have my chair tucked in it doesn’t wobble at all. i really wanna know what’s the problem.

#

but

cunning hearth
#

Probably because ur chair is supporting front of the desi

#

Desk

obsidian dock
#

@cunning hearth mmm

#

so what could be a fix?

#

also

cunning hearth
#

Check to make sure the feet are level

obsidian dock
#

Check to make sure the feet are level
@cunning hearth wym?

cunning hearth
#

Like are there things between the feet and thenground

#

The ground

obsidian dock
#

no

cunning hearth
#

Is everything screwed on properly? Check all connections

obsidian dock
#

i’m not at home rn but i will check

#

and i’m pretty sure

cunning hearth
#

As a temporary fix u could jam something between the feet and the ground

obsidian dock
#

maybe i need some rubber feet?

cunning hearth
#

To level it out

obsidian dock
#

maybe

#

any recommendations?

cunning hearth
#

For rubber feet? No im not a furniture expert, bur any good quality one should do the trick

amber oracle
#

a simple solution could be pieces of carpet/old-towel pieces

cunning hearth
#

Yeah something like that ^^

amber oracle
#

also, the reason that you table wobbles is that your floor (underneath the carpet) is uneven

#

simple as that really

obsidian dock
#

a simple solution could be pieces of carpet/old-towel pieces
@amber oracle wym

amber oracle
#

pieces of carpet/towel are things that people generally have access to.

#

So using pieces of that cut into small squares/circles that fit under the legs does the trick

obsidian dock
#

how would that make a difference if it’s already on carpet?

#

i was thinking maybe this

amber oracle
#

there is no "end result" difference between those and what i am talking about

#

aside from what you linked costs you money

cunning hearth
#

Hey wassup

#

Thx

normal barn
#

or this one

#

both are amazing for its price

#

ull need these

cunning hearth
#

Mmm thx a lot

normal barn
#

this one give u both dac amp and sound card

#

i think

cunning hearth
#

Mmm thxx

normal barn
#

according to dno this is "ENDGAME"

#

if u pair or pc38x

#

but itll do great if u use with shp9500

cunning hearth
#

Mm thx

#

Not sure if im gonna get the anps yet but i can always get later

#

Amps

normal barn
#

ok

cunning hearth
#

Wait what was the other headset

normal barn
#

its 3 in one so its great deal

#

shp9500?

cunning hearth
#

No the other one

#

A

normal barn
#

alpha s?

cunning hearth
#

I think it was 559

normal barn
#

dont get it lol

#

shp9500 is the way to go

last plinth
#

yea

cunning hearth
#

Ok thxx

last plinth
#

shp is way to go

cunning hearth
#

Looks kinda bad but idc

#

Hyperx got the looks

last plinth
#

559 are trash

#

Shp9500 way better

cunning hearth
#

Mmm

last plinth
#

mmmm

cunning hearth
#

Thx guys

normal barn
#

i mean like

#

is vmoda boom worth it

last plinth
#

not really

#

Sounds bad

normal barn
#

bruhhhhhhhhhhhh

#

i mean

#

is fifine reall good

#

that 70* fifne

#

70$

#

tis liek 10$

#

less than

#

my headset llmao

cunning hearth
#

Btw is shp9500 open back

#

And does it have a mic or no

normal barn
#

ik

#

nope

#

so like thats why

#

u need

#

its open mic

#

open back

#

no mic

cunning hearth
#

No for which one

normal barn
#

thast hwy i told u to get a inline mic too

cunning hearth
#

Oh ok

last plinth
#

Closed back is good

normal barn
#

the vmoda

last plinth
#

Also

#

vmoda sounds bad

normal barn
#

close back make the sound echos and stuff

last plinth
#

no

cunning hearth
#

What is cloud alpha

last plinth
#

yes

cunning hearth
#

Open or closed

normal barn
#

open is better

#

the sound quality

cunning hearth
#

I gtg guys thx for the help

#

Cya

normal barn
#

will be better

#

wiht open back but sound will leak

amber oracle
#

open is not "better"

#

open is "different"

#

"better" <- depends entirely on the person that will be using it

normal barn
#

i have been enfluenceed byt the

last plinth
#

yes

normal barn
#

audiophiles

#

so like they convinced me oen is betters

amber oracle
#

that does not prevent you from having your own opinion.

normal barn
#

but i never used a open before

#

it didn arrive yet

amber oracle
#

and mindlessly copy pasting is not a very good way to give advice.

normal barn
#

wiat what

#

who copy and pasted

amber oracle
#

you copied their opinion, and pasted it here

#

as you said yourself. you have not used open headphones before

west hornet
#

open good for some things, closed good for other things

@normal barn dont get the 9500

#

It is just a muddy and grainy and non accurate headset with a slow driver and only an okay sound stage

#

The ur40 which is literally able to be found for $20 to 30 is all around better

#

And not just in value

#

Im so confused now there r way too many names

Which headphones/heatset is best for gaming <100$

amber oracle

depends on the users wants/needs

there is no "best"

cunning hearth

Well good for what i said above

#

Good sound quality too

amber oracle

you can skip gmk then tbh

keycaps cost more than the entire keyboard lmao

sharp kindle

i would only reccomend gmk sets for custom boards

solid adder
#

then what should i buy?

sharp kindle
#

pudding keycaps

#

are great

#

as they let the RGB shine better

timber ridge
#

tbh with the anne pro, p much any keycaps will work

tight pulsar

hk gaming has some good full sets if u want a theme, taihao has some rubber ones but i'd look at what color/theme u want and what keys

pudding keycaps look good on the white anne pro

I've been using the same laptop for years

I'm used to like full size

full size keeb best KermitVader

weary lodge
#

i was on a full sized for a long time, switched to a tenkeyless last year, but wanted to play around with a kit, and this whole thing was like $60 or so, so if i end up not liking it, i'll just flip it and go back to my tenkeyless

#

the only thing i'm not a huge fan of so far are the stabilizers for the space key, it feels very mushy compared to the rest of the keys

#

otherwise i am really liking the gateron reds so far

cursive marsh
#

That's a small full size

#

I think my standalone keyboard is about the same size

#

Maybe slightly bigger

you have to be made out of money to build a custom keeb outside of 60%

true

i went from a 65 and using this full sized membrane board until my 60 comes in lemme tell u it sucks

once u go to a smaller keyboard and back to a bigger one u miss the desk space

last plinth
#

No box white tho

sharp kindle

im not sure if it comes with box whites

last plinth

:sadge:

sharp kindle
#

65 percent is a pretty uncommon format for boards coming from major retailers

last plinth

Tkl could work too

sharp kindle

well tkl gives you plenty of options

#

i would reccomend the glorious gmmk

#

its usb-c now and has updated stabs

last plinth

Hotswabble pcb?

sharp kindle

you can pop in box whites or navys too

#

yep

#

hotswappable

i think i just buy it without switches and keys

it comes with default browns

but you can get a barebones board

@sharp kindle

timber ridge

these r nice

but idk bout the stabs they use

sharp kindle

he wants arrow keys

#

box jades

#

@last plinth

#

box jades have a nice click

timber ridge
#

jades are the safe option, cant go wrong with them

#

if hes doing a budget build, i think outemu released new clicky switches recently

#

nvm theyre not new lmao

last plinth
#

Yea

sharp kindle
#

outemu blues are very very very loud

#

and outemu is overall not the best

last plinth

Could i build my own keeb for under 130

box jades are really good

well

60 percent and a lot of plastic'

and if you dont like box navys or something

#

you can swap to something different

timber ridge
#

he wants tkl right

sharp kindle
#

yep

#

glorious gmmk has tkl

last plinth
#

i dont “want” tkl i would be ok with it

sharp kindle
#

he ideally wants 65 percent

#

or 60 percent with arrow keys

timber ridge
#

glorious is prob best option

sharp kindle
#

yep

#

also if you have 130 dollars to spend on a keeb

#

but 150 to spend on a mouse

#

its kinda wack dude

timber ridge
#

yea lol

sharp kindle
#

normally i would spend more on a keeb and less on the mouse

last plinth
#

Not 150 on mouse

timber ridge

#

My unpowered speakers have a constant static background noise

#

I'm using an amplifier that is plugged into the wall through a three-splitter. The splitter is accommodating for my PC as well as my sub and amplifier.

#

My PC is connected to the amp via a 3.5mm to separate L/R audio cable, as analog.

#

When I change the amplifier inputs from analog to the other two options (digital or coaxial), the static gets much lower than it is when set to analog (even when nothing is plugged in)

#

What can I do?

#

I've noticed that the static does not scale with the volume I set in the amp, unless I go all the way to the minimum (-64dB) where it stops completely.

Hmm look pretty generic, i wouldnt expect much from cheap bluetooth headphones, wireless much expensive because need for extra parts

i also dont look too much into wireless, for cheap wired kph30i is nice

timber ridge
#

koss is like the noctua of headphones

west hornet
#

they have very nice budget options, but ya not the prettiest. Some people buy yaxi earpads for more comfort and sound stage

devout fiber
#

hm

#

i really prefer bluetooth

#

scratch prefer, thats one of my criteria now

amber oracle

you are going to be fairly challenged at that budget then

decent sound OR bluetooth <- pick one @devout fiber

did you hear

amber oracle
#

(if you want to stay under 50usd that is)

devout fiber
#

that i think my earbuds sound good

#

ill go to 60...?

timber ridge
#

imo, youll have to jump to like 100

#

for good bt headphones

#

of course there is some hidden gems in the budget range

woven phoenix

Just get the steelseries wireless pro they are only like 4x your budget.

but around 100, all the options are p good

Its like mushy

Hard to click

timber ridge
#

my right click is mushy now but i got a dif budget mouse lmao

#

think ima upgrade my peripherals

west hornet
#

reason why i dont use wireless mostly is because it requires a built in dac/amp along with the speakers themself which drives up the price a lot, and the only ones ive been interested in are 400usd which is out of my price range on travel headphones lol

timber ridge
#

i jus got a new desk and other stuff, might aswell upgrade keeb and mouse

sharp kindle
#

sensei is the only good steelseries mouse
