wym “terminate”

swift lantern
#

#

tacit wing
#

o yeah i kinda forgot those exist

last plinth
#

swift lantern
#

no

tacit wing
last plinth
#

NOOOO

swift lantern
#

that's kinda gross bro

last plinth
#

YO

#

LINK BRO

swift lantern
#

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO FARKIN TYPE

#

OR READ

last plinth
#

no :)

swift lantern
#

IT LITERALLY SAYS THE NAME

tacit wing
#

dongle dac and a crappy usb mic if you cant find a fifine is ur solution

swift lantern
#

mod mic usb or line-in, no difference in quality

#

but I guess youd want usb since your mobo is stinky

#

can't even do calls with meizu dongle

#

also realize you can't charge while using it

#

so therefore, I must actually give it 3/5

tacit wing
#

apple dongle gang

swift lantern
#

I like jsaux

tacit wing
#

the meizu dongle does support calling

#

it doesnt if you have a 3.5 jack on ur phone

swift lantern
#

Which I do

#

Cuz why wouldn't I

#

Either way I think I'd figured out the problem is that mmcx cables are... Bad I guess

#

So guess it's Shuoer Tape time

tacit wing
#

sub-bass time

swift lantern
#

Sucks cuz otherwise I'm perfectly fine with t2

#

Did you know they make 2 pin mmcx adapters

#

T2 are apparently only c- 1sat_hmmph

tacit wing
#

keep in mind that list doesnt consider price to performance at all lol

swift lantern
#

Honestly I think if you get any $100ish IEM you'll be happy

#

You can EQ it, it'll be great, that's it

#

So for me I'm especially keen on build quality

#

Again drawing me to the tapes

tacit wing
#

he just ranks what he listened to so far from best to worst without the price in mind

last plinth
#

link good ones

swift lantern
#

Link what

tacit wing
#

i might cop like a harman-neautral iem and call it a day

#

thats it, my journey ends there

swift lantern
#

Harman neutral?

tacit wing
#

imagine close to harman target but neutral

#

ur not a neutral boi u wouldnt get it nor like it

#

wait its harmon not harman

swift lantern
#

Oh you mean you want neutral iems

Lame

Real life should be your base not your ideal

For audio

#

Neutral sound is boring sound

tacit wing
#

if you believe that why did u get 6xx

#

u better prioritize vocals alot

swift lantern
#

I will EQ it

tacit wing
swift lantern
tacit wing
#

i can literally turn my SSP into an SSR with an EQ

swift lantern
#

Yah

tacit wing
#

SSR lowend literally just sank

#

i think the sub bass on the 6xx will be adequate enough for you

#

the warmth will help too

#

ill be surprised if youll still find a need to EQ it

last plinth

I'm looking for the right analog-to-digital device that will allow me to convert old videos from the following sources: 1) Sony Handycam DVD-R discs using a Panasonic VDR-M53PP camcorder 2) TDK 8mm video cassette using an RCA Pro 844 camcorder and 3) VHS tapes using a standard VHS player. I'd like the least expensive device that also produces good quality editable digital files.

#

any pointers?

sly warren
#

Why not just get an RCA to HDMI converter, and then use an HDMI Capture Card to record the footage to a digital format?

robust tundra

im gonna pull a cheap move and get a redragon mouse

robust tundra

zealous nacelle
#

robust tundra

zealous nacelle
#

zealous nacelle
#

huh

robust tundra
#

the redragon m601 is like 10$

zealous nacelle
#

im surprisingly not upset abt that

#

seems like a good deal

robust tundra
#

reviews are good

#

seems nice

#

good cheap alternative

sly warren
#

Seems ok at best. Those DPI steps are terrible out of the box though.

ebon ledge
#

anybody know any good webcams for like 60 to 80 bucks

sly warren
#

Pick a Logitech Camera and be done with it.

robust tundra
#

make sure to use the camera mic

sly warren
#

How about no.

ebon ledge
#

@robust tundra that was the worst idea I have ever heard

robust tundra
#

pfffttt

#

its a good idea

#

crisp mic quality

ebon ledge
#

nah it isn't

#

especially since the person I am getting it for already has one

sly warren
#

Hey broski, can you stop spreading stupid misinformation?

robust tundra
#

its a

#

joke

#

its obviously

#

a joke

#

:(

#

im sorry

stoic solar
#

can you keep jokes to the appropriate channels maybe

robust tundra
#

wheres the comedy club

stoic solar
#

these are for actual legitimate advice

robust tundra
#

fair enough

zealous nacelle
#

it was literally a joke

#

yall need to lighten up

#

for a bunch of gamers never felt such gross energy

stoic solar
#

theres channels for that and this isnt one of them

sly warren
#

This is Newegg, a place where people buy technology, and if people come here asking "Hey, should I buy X?" We shouldn't be meming about crap.

tight pulsar
#

put jokes in the jokes channel

zealous nacelle
#

1st of all, there isnt a channel for designated seriousness or joking
2nd of all he clearly could tell he wasnt serious

#

please point me to the joke channel

cunning hearth
tight pulsar
#

there is no joke channel because this is a technology server for technology not a meme server

zealous nacelle
#

No the general chat implys your serious as much as peripherals

#

true. but yall act as if yall never crack a joke in a convo irl

just search metal keycaps on amazon

#

@lyric hinge

lyric hinge
#

Thanks

sly warren
#

Would not recommend fully metal keycaps unless you have some weighty switches.

#

If they are just metallic coated then that's whatever.

stoic solar
#

owo

#

i want all wood keycaps eventually

fluid dove
#

mine are full metal

stoic solar

something that i wont be able to get as a cap but that i want are like

leather caps

sage stirrup
#

Hello

queen sigil
#

looks terrible imo

#

pudding + normal keycaps

#

thats something im going to hope to never see again

#

also didnt you come here and ask for like what white keycap you wanted

#

and a bunch of people told you not to get pudding keycaps

fluid dove
#

also its just cuz i didnt get pudding blcks yet

queen sigil
#

why dont you just put black keycaps on the mods

#

and throw the metal ones in the trash

fluid dove
#

cuz thats stoopid

queen sigil
#

your metal keycaps are stoopid

fluid dove
#

yeah i did that before

queen sigil
#

And unless you are trying to play chess on your keyboard

#

i think most people would say it looks better

fluid dove
#

yes it does

#

im just experimentninng

queen sigil
#

i'd rather see rubber keycaps than metal keycaps

#

didnt linus do a video calling metallic keycaps disgusting?

Man, all this talk of balanced outputs makes me want to try it.

#

But the only headphones I have that can run Balanced are my KZ ZS10 Pro IEMs

#

@last plinth what headphones are you gonna use?

sage stirrup
#

💯

sturdy sinew
#

@west hornet Hello there! sorry for bothering you but what is better? the rode Nt1-a? or the rode nt1? Also what situation would someone use a Audio interface over a mixer or vice versa

west hornet
#

The main differences I’ve seen with the nt1 and nt1a is the frequency response, the nt1 is very flat with a slight bump in the highs and the nt1a is more coloured. They do seem pretty similar but to make a decision I think you have to see some comparisons to hear for yourself

#

Oh and for interfaces and mixer stuff I don’t know a whole lot about but interfaces have the inputs, gain knobs, direct monitoring and such. Mixers with built in interfaces can vary, they do have many similar things as the interfaces but they can also have built in processing for compressors, eq, etc. interfaces with different inputs separate the inputs in software and some mixers mix them into one master for software but some also do separate like a traditional interface

sturdy sinew
#

gotchaa

love their new LEDs too

#

they're a lot more saturated and can display more colors

storm drum
#

any good 19" by 18" 144hz moniters for £100 or so

sturdy sinew
#

I don't think there are 19 or 18 inch 144hz monitors on the market

storm drum
#

i mean 19 inch length by 18 inch height

queen sigil
#

why do you want a square monitor

swift lantern
#

monitor sizes go by diagonal so... figure out whatever that is

#

smallest 144hz are usually 24" nowadays

#

anyone have suggestions for sub 150$ headphones?

swift lantern
#

shp9500/9600

sly warren
#

Sub 150? Do you need a Mic with the headphones?

cursive bough
#

I said headphones, not headsets 😛

sly warren
#

Jesus, I'm just asking...

cursive bough
#

Not trying to sass

#

just when I ask people

#

they keep giving headsets

#

.>

sly warren
#

I mean, the Drop x Sennheiser PC37X's are great Headphones + Mic

cursive bough
#

I've looked at those

#

they looked good

sly warren
#

They ARE good

cursive bough
#

but I really don't need the mic on it >.>

sly warren
#

Why not?

cursive bough
#

got my own mic already

sly warren
#

What mic?

cursive bough
#

siren x

sly warren
#

EWWWW

#

🤮

cursive bough
#

oi

#

I got it on sale

sly warren
#

The PC37X Mic is LEAGUES better than that trashy tin can

swift lantern
#

doubt

sly warren
#

You are insane.

swift lantern
#

the jubilee 58x is $150 sometimes

#

occasionally

#

maybe snag an ebay pair

sly warren
#

Yeah, I can agree with that.

#

Though, some HD 6xx's might be in that range on Ebay also

swift lantern
#

those things are in such high demand they usually end auction at $180ish

sly warren
#

That's still a reasonable price for 6xx's

#

Aren't 6xx's basically HD 600's but cheaper?

swift lantern
#

they're hd 650s with different tuning for $150 less

sly warren
#

Ah.

swift lantern
#

look how much time on that first one, they aren't gonna sell for that much

tacit wing
#

if you have 150 usd to spend on headphones, its really worth it to fork out those extra dollars to get a 6XX

#

trust me, im in Midfi hell right now and nothing i have rn attacks mids quite like the 6XX

west hornet
#

There is 4xx but that’s 180now

tacit wing
#

i dont think its worth itentrealias

cursive bough
#

what about the hd599? that any decent?

timber ridge
#

its soo cold

tacit wing
#

YESSIR

timber ridge
#

it came with a 1/8th adapter

#

so i didnt even need it

cursive bough
#

yes to lance?

timber ridge
#

huh

#

im debating if i should keep the adapters i ordered

tacit wing
timber ridge
#

I dont see use for 2 extra 1/8 adapters

tacit wing
#

its suppose to be a refresh from its predecessors

#

keep in mind that theyre very analytical

cursive bough
#

so it's better than the 599 I'm assuming

swift lantern
#

599 is not very well received so far as I can tell

timber ridge
#

ive seen a lot of gamers happy with dt770s

tacit wing
#

if ur a hipster that just gets old stuff just for the sake of being old, get the 599

cursive bough
#

ya nah

#

I guess then I'll look at the 560s

tacit wing
#

560s just cane out like a month ago

cursive bough
#

I'll wait and see if it goes on sale

tacit wing
#

if budget is tight and can only spend around 150, go dt880 or akg k371

timber ridge
#

dt880s prices are broken

#

theyre like 200

cursive bough
#

I heard that open backs sound better , is that true?

timber ridge
#

sound is preference

tacit wing
#

GOUBA PFP I JUST REALIZED THAT

cursive bough
#

lol

#

just now?

#

it's one I commissioned from a friend

#

:p

tacit wing
#

open backs generally has better soundstage and the least amount of isolation but some opens dont even stage well and are as narrow as some closed backs

#

so it depends

#

also if you mind that everyone can hear what youre listening to dont get open backs kizuna_wtf

cursive bough
#

eh

west hornet
#

The 560s is a bit analytical ya?

cursive bough
#

I'm mostly chilling in my room anyways

#

not planning to bring it to public anyways

timber ridge
#

YOOO, THE ZEN DAC IS POG

tacit wing
timber ridge
#

yea

#

its not muddy at all

#

its weird

#

like the way it boost it

cursive bough
#

I have a feeling this interest in getting good headphones for gaming is going to be a rabbithole for me

tacit wing
#

o god

timber ridge
#

this channel is a rabbit hole

#

since i joined, i bought like 6 keebs, 2 mice and a dac

cursive bough
#

I narrowly avoided the kb rabbit hole

#

but it seems this one is deeper

timber ridge
#

wait the bass boost is actually so insane

#

i changed genre

tacit wing
#

keyboards are just more labor intensive than audio, but its just as expensive aPES_Leave

cursive bough
#

alright to keep myself from going too deep

timber ridge
#

gonna see how the mh752s benefit from the dac

tacit wing
#

if you want to save your wallet, get yourself a HD6XX and an Atom or Schiit stack and leave this channel

cursive bough
#

hmm

#

ight

tacit wing
#

go to any headphone server and theyll tell you the exact thing

timber ridge
#

its become apparent i need new cans

cursive bough
#

ty 👌

timber ridge
#

but i really want new iems

swift lantern
#

I'm thinking 2 pin might be the way to go

tacit wing
#

lance, i wouldve gotten BLON_05S by now if it wasn't for the hideous color

stoic solar
#

just remember that hearing is often the first to go when you age

timber ridge
#

get the non s version

stoic solar
#

and spend ur $ based on that

#

and ull be fine

stoic solar
#

enjoy deafness omegalul

#

storage is forever

swift lantern
#

you lose the very high range you don't lose it outright as long as you take care of your ears

stoic solar
#

u never lose storage

swift lantern
#

considering I have stupid levels of high range I think I'm good to go

tacit wing
#

hardrives fail all the time wym

#

and who tf is a storage enthusiast

stoic solar
#

me

#

and you can lose individual drives but if you have a proper array you dont lose the dsta

tacit wing
#

do u like irl storage units as well? bc if you dont youre not a REAL storage enthusiast

stoic solar
#

just datahoarder not normal hoarder sry babe

timber ridge
#

im debating

timber ridge
#

if i should cop cans and iems

stoic solar
#

so much

tacit wing
#

i could honestly get away with just half a tb on my boot drive

#

i dont really use all of it

tacit wing
#

neutral-warm, v shape, bright u-shape. in respective

swift lantern
#

what you end up using more often

timber ridge
#

yea, i was gonna keep it between the dt880s and 4xx for price

tacit wing
#

youre not a mid man?

timber ridge
#

if u pick up blon05s, are you gonna pick up kxxs

tacit wing
#

no. SF is the same as the KXXS and its cheaper

cursive bough
#

btw I know beats are bad

#

but how do you guys feel about em?

#

I wanna see it dunked on

tacit wing
#

beats arent bad if you like your music sound like its underwater

#

wait not underwater, under mud

#

because thats what it is, a mud fest

#

Dr Dre only sees the left side of a Response graph

timber ridge
#

dino what are msrp for dt880s

#

i feel like current prices are busted

cursive bough
#

also I think I'm probably go with the 6xx but do I need additional stuff along with it? or is it just fine to plug it in and play

swift lantern
#

you can plug n play but that won't be it's full potential

tacit wing
cursive bough
#

not currently

#

I plug it into my mic

tacit wing
#

and also you have to face the pain that is Realtek

#

if your mic has a headphone output for monitoring, thats fine

#

that and a 6xx can be audio endgame

cursive bough
#

I have no clue what it is

tacit wing
#

you dont need one rn, the 6xx on the back of your mic is fine for now

#

but if budget allows, invest in a dac+amp like that

cursive bough
#

I'll think of that down the line

#

alright

#

time to monitor these headphones every now and then to see a price drop

tacit wing
#

on second thought, forget everything and blow your headphone budget on Albedo banner @cursive bough

#

im just kidding

timber ridge
#

so i shouldnt buy them rn for like 190

my friend from a different server

30k primo saved

#

I believe

for ayaka

i dont have that much patience, once i accumulate enough from commisions and stuff i spend the 160 right away

#

you do art for moneY?

tacit wing
timber ridge
#

i would of insta bought

cursive bough
#

those good?

tacit wing
timber ridge
#

are those coming out ?

tight pulsar
#

green kinda nice tho

tacit wing
#

naw these are just fan renders

tight pulsar
#

adds a hint of color

timber ridge
#

pain, green isnt ugly

#

but jus not my style for iems

tacit wing
#

the green is nice, but the gold clashes it

tight pulsar
#

its meh but if they were cyan tho 😩

cursive bough
#

reminds me of how some brands make deliberately have bad colours to stand out

#

like noctua

tacit wing
timber ridge
#

this green is nicer imo

tight pulsar
#

oh yeah thats nice

timber ridge
#

spring2 are op iems too

tacit wing
#

and also olive

#

a RebelAmp would be the dream

timber ridge
#

if i ever wanna upgrade, i can jus cop an amp right

#

a stronger one and pair it up with my zen

tacit wing
#

no necessarily a stronger one

#

zen dac can pretty much drive anything

#

amps also have sound signatures as well and can alter your cans

#

even different dacs can affect soundstaging

timber ridge
#

oh ok

#

i think for now, itll power everything i want

#

but lets say im down bad in the rabbit hole

tacit wing
#

spend it all on cans

timber ridge
#

kk

tacit wing
#

or dont dig yourself in midfi hell like i did

timber ridge
#

these keep on appearing on my amazon homescreen

tacit wing
timber ridge
#

if i get them, im most def not getting iems too

tacit wing
#

they have open boxes on the hifiman website for 299

#

but it aint no prime

timber ridge
#

prime is too op

#

i was thinking about picking up some iems for 100+ but with blon 05s existing

#

i dont know if its worth spending the extra

tacit wing
#

youve seen my friends review right

#

he benched starfields and shoure tapes for blon 05s

timber ridge
#

oof

#

i wonder how they compete with 200ish iems

#

like kxxs, p1s, fh1s

#

etc

#

cs16 have 8 drivers per earbud and the cca c12s werent so bad

tacit wing
#

SF and KXXS the same damn thing

#

ur just paying for the ear jewelry on the KX

timber ridge
#

oof

#

man, im fiending for audio stuff rn

tacit wing
#

6xx is my top recc for you

#

theres alot floating around on ebay for less than 200 usd

#

ZHONGLI IS GETTING A BUFF POG

tight pulsar
#

hey no stop ruining the headphone discussion

timber ridge
tacit wing
#

no theyre neutral warm

timber ridge
#

think ima get something more v shape, then my next upgrade will be somethign more neutral

tacit wing
#

4xx then 6xx

timber ridge
#

most likely

#

unless i cop sundaras

#

the bass boost button on this dac is actually so op

tacit wing
#

thats what i ve been saying

#

the low end just OOMPHS

#

and not a muddied mess

timber ridge
#

yea, its the reason why i skipped the k5

#

k5 has more power, but it seemed too boring for my taste

#

the knob on it is buttery smooth

normal barn
normal barn
normal barn
#

or sundaras

#

and a amp like rs

timber ridge
#

im not gonna make the jump to it yet

#

i want a pair of v shape cans then ill get something neutral

#

what amp+dac did u get lance

timber ridge
#

#

The Focusrite?

timber ridge

are u using the pentaconn output

timber ridge
#

the 4.4?

#

if so no, im using 1/8th adapter rn

tacit wing
#

u mean the quarter inch?

timber ridge
#

yea

tacit wing
#

into the unbalanced output?

timber ridge
#

yup

tacit wing
#

and that persist on all of your headphones

timber ridge
#

on my blons and mh752s

#

i tried switching back to the dongle that came with the headset and its fine

#

so im not going deaf

tacit wing
timber ridge
#

its jus more apparent in lower volumes

#

actually it may be fixed at higher volumes

tacit wing
#

your stuff maybe too efficient that channels can be a bit wonky

#

but i experience the same thing with my magni on lo-gain

#

some reviews state that the power delivery is cleaner through a 5v adapter rather than bus powered

timber ridge
#

ima update drivers n see what happened

#

gonna do a usb driver update then update the dac itself if its not fixed

tacit wing
#

yeah i don't think thats the problem

#

just as long device manager recognized ur zen dac

#

it should just be plug n play

timber ridge

Stew is freakin weird with his mice man

#

he won a major with an Ec2

and then switched to the 203

#

and went to the Sensei and went back to the 203

sly warren
#

I mean, if i'm a professional I would buy like 10 backups of the mouse I like the most and keep them sealed in box.

tight pulsar
#

also some people probably need to see this cough cough keyboard people

gloomy berry
#

That's just general life advice

sly warren
#

Yeah, once I get my MOW and K2 Hotswap (and replacement switches), and a Hard mousepad. I'll be done for awhile on Peripherals.

tight pulsar
#

true but keyboard and/or audio people are really bad with money in this channel usually

tacit wing
tight pulsar
#

point proven

sly warren
#

Jesus Woxic, how TF did you do that to a mouse?

tacit wing
#

but i wouldnt put a massive dent in my finances just to keep a smile on my face

sly warren
#

Man, I want to get some Planars too...

#

But, my M50X's are still breaking in.

tacit wing
#

ive spent money on worse things believe me

#

worse as in temporary things

timber ridge
#

bruh

#

im so ready to drop more money on audio stuff

tight pulsar
#

lol as soon i get my schtack and 6xx im out of the audiophile rabbithole minus maybe an iem or something ||i hope||

tacit wing
#

6xx and stack can be audio endgame

timber ridge
#

idk my endgame yet

tacit wing
#

you have a pair of headphones that are arguably better in the midrange than any of the top shelf stuff

timber ridge
#

i kinda wanna get a taste of what each budget offers

tight pulsar
#

e n d g a m e i s a m y t h

timber ridge
#

for cans, i think im gonna pick up either 4xx/dt880s then 6xx

#

but iems, thats different. Iems have a special place in my heart

tacit wing
#

endgame can be the truth if u have a bleak view whatever peripheral, im happy with my hyperx keyboard lol

#

but.... i do want a keychron

tight pulsar
#

the deeper you get into a hobby the more you realize endgame is a myth until you quit it lol

#

or you run out of money

timber ridge
#

i dont plan on going any deeper in the keeb community after i do my builds next year

#

i hit my endgame with going custom

tight pulsar
#

bro thats what i said and now i have 2 boards, 2 keycap gbs, and like 8 different switches coming

timber ridge
#

i have like 2/3 builds next year

#

depending if one kit makes it to the gb phase, but my audio stuff needs an upgrade

#

like keeb stuff is a luxury but audio stuff isnt kinda

#

I'll see an actual gain compared to building a keeb

tacit wing
#

thats because you already have like a million prebuilts come into your doorstep in like a span of a couple months

#

and you have blons and gaming headset for audio

timber ridge
#

would of been 1 if they all didnt come broken

tight pulsar
#

also if yall wanna see a neuroscientist build a matrix board on a 24 hour subathon dr_huru is live

tacit wing
#

both hobbies are a luxury in a way that the endgoal is to just please the senses

#

if i wasnt into music alot i wouldnt invest into this mess

timber ridge
#

same here with keeb stuff

#

but im getting the audiophile itch

west hornet
#

Financial dent is nice

timber ridge
#

and im tempted to get stuff

#

itll be a christmas/bday gift to myself

tacit wing
#

genshin impact left a bigger dent in my wallet than audio ever did

timber ridge
#

thats why i wont touch that game

west hornet
#

I don’t spend much on game

timber ridge
#

gacha games are cursed

west hornet
#

I spent more money than I would like to this year

timber ridge
#

dino, do you think itll be a smarter idea to buy 6xx right off the back instead of going with 4xx then upgrading to 6xx later

tacit wing
#

yes, the value of the 6xx is higher than the 4xx. simply because it attacks mids like no other headphone except for the other 600 series senns of course. even top of the line stuff doesnt compare

timber ridge
#

and my blon 03s are holding up well, but my mh752s leaves a lot to be desired

tacit wing
#

but the thing is, youre looking for v-shaped

#

i believe your 6xx and true bass function on your Zen-dac will be a very LUSH experience

timber ridge
#

i think ill get iems to satisfy that v shape craving

tacit wing
#

killer combo

#

except replace the 600 with 6xx

timber ridge
#

yea thats what im planning

#

honestly, that can be endgame for me

#

idk, fiio fh3 seem p epic and theyre about the price of starfields

vagrant musk
#

can someone recommend me a microphone under 100

timber ridge
#

wave is 100

tacit wing
#

if u have an interface already id get a POGmic

timber ridge
#

I'd go with the wave unless youre on a super budget then a fifine mic will do the job

vagrant musk
#

worth it?

timber ridge
#

what is worth it? the fifine?

vagrant musk
#

wave

timber ridge
#

yea its really good, the fifine is killer for its price too

#

I doubt you can find a mic thats better at the price

#

i would wait to hear what ghosty has to say tho, hes the mic man

vagrant musk
#

Thanks! <three

timber ridge
#

np

west hornet
#

@vagrant musk elgato wave for usb, for xlr podmic, neat king bee or worker bee is nice, as well as sE v7, blue ember, etc

timber ridge
#

@tacit wing how do 6xx compare to sundara, amazon only has sundaras and 4xx

tacit wing
#

good detail and resolution, but timbre and tonality are not as good as 6x0. mild v-shape

#

i think youd prefer the sig of the Sun oppose the 6

timber ridge
#

sundaras are p pricey tho

tacit wing
#

id still get 6xx over any midfi planar

timber ridge
#

if i get them, im not buying another pair

tacit wing
#

nope, go 6xx and BLON_05S

#

thats it you can end ur journey there

west hornet
#

just buy endgame headphone and save future self

timber ridge
#

what if i go sun and blon05s

tacit wing
#

what the Sundaras have that the 6x0 doesnt is the DEETS

#

but my money would go to 6x0 overall

timber ridge
#

oh ok

#

so 6xx is prob a better investment

#

sounds like it marks off enough checkpoints for the price

#

wish it was amazon tho

tacit wing
#

yes because the midrange is arguably better than even TOTL cans

i have to grab the recording but i feel like this one looks noisier than another recording i did on a mac in a good with a tv playing and dryer machine hmmm

ahh i want to see if i can trade a blue ember for a sm57 somewhere

so i wanted another set of headphones, but i couldnt find any reasonably priced HD6xx, so i went with the HD560s for 175

queen sigil
queen sigil
#

ok this is kinda funny

swift lantern
#

I wonder how h560s will compare

tacit wing
#

560s is analytical vs. neutral-warm on 6xx

#

560s is a more "serious" headphone

little crater
#

ive looked at a bunch of reviews, people seem to think that they are similar to the HD6

tacit wing
#

6xx is more laid back id say

little crater
#

also, the 560s is apparently lighter and pretty comfortable

#

and they look sick

tacit wing
#

max did a great comparison between the two

#

i suggest u watch this

#

skip to 6:40 for sound

sly warren
#

So, the HD560's are a more flat pair of headphones?

#

Oh come on... They can't even run a balanced cable...

little crater
#

balanced cable?

tacit wing
#

balanced vs SE isnt just what makes a headphone good lol

sly warren
#

No, but it damn sure helps.

tacit wing
#

what do u seriously expect in the sub 200 dollar range?

#

even Sundaras dont even need balanced

sly warren
#

I mean, a 40 dollar pair of IEMs can have a cable swapped to run Balanced for the improvements to noise.

#

I'm honestly surprised balanced jacks haven't become the new standard.

#

4.4mm is a sturdier jack than 3.5mm

#

If the HD 660S wasn't 500 dollars, i'd probably buy a pair.

west hornet
#

hd560s look decent for budget mixing

Eh, needs a white deskpad to tie it together.

I can agree thats a valid statement

65% is a bit too small.

hi aev

small nimbus

@zealous nacelle we have the same build

#

dino 🤔 how much does 6xx set up cost

zealous nacelle
#

as in pc parts?

small nimbus
#

ya

#

did you also buy 2060 before 2060s came out

zealous nacelle
#

its a reliable build with minimal bottle necking

tacit wing
#

6xx plus an atom stack can run you about 400 dollars lol

zealous nacelle
#

as im aware it wasnt out

tacit wing
#

or about 330 if you go 6xx plus a Zen Dac just like what Lance is planning

small nimbus
#

w/e is better

tacit wing
#

aev i dont suggest investing into audio at all not unless you listen to music alot

small nimbus
#

ThinkingEgg only have a few days left to buy 6xx but i have no experience w/ this stuff

tacit wing
#

ill point you to the right direction

small nimbus
#

inb4 it's a door

tacit wing

aev if you get a 6xx youll be officially in the club of 6xx owners on this channel

sly warren
#

Man, I wonder if I should grab a FiiO E10K or just skip that and get a Shiit stack

tacit wing
#

youd be more future proofed with the Schiit, kuzu has an e10k and hes looking for more power

sly warren
#

Well, right now i'm just driving M50X's

#

And maybe the occasional listen of my HD558's

small nimbus
#

idk peepoSadSip i should probably just not do anything

sly warren
#

What's the max a E10K can do?

tacit wing
#

ask Kuzu he has one @swift lantern

#

what i can tell you is that the Magni Modi stack can pretty much power anything you throw at it

#

Magnius if youre looking for balanced

I wish I could afford Planarmagnetic headphones, but right now that isn't in the cards.

Whoa WTF, when did Hifiman make a cheap version of the HE400i's?

tacit wing
#

400i 2020?

sly warren
#

Yeah.

tacit wing
#

they dropped like a couple months ago

sly warren
#

Is there something "wrong" with the 2020 model?

tacit wing
#

no not at all, its suppose to fix the original 400i which was a QC nightmare

sly warren
#

Oh

#

Wow

tacit wing
#

so the 400i 2020 and 4xx are the current lineup for Hifimans budget planars under 200

#

400i's are more clinical

sly warren
#

Like, flatter?

tacit wing
#

4xx leans more on the v-shape

sly warren
#

More of a reference sound?

#

I honestly prefer the "reference" sound

sly warren
#

I like the sound of my M50X's more compared to my PC37X's

normal barn
#

And what's v u and neutral

tacit wing
#

schiit stack can be anything from schiit that can be configured as a stack

normal barn
#

Oh

#

But u were referring

#

To kodi magni right

#

Modi*

#

@tacit wing ayo gengar fang

tacit wing
#

you should just get headphones just for the sake of being planars

sly warren
#

Couldn't find the 560S graph

#

Oh

#

There it is.

#

So, there's a rolloff in the bass on the 560S

#

The M50X's get closer to flat.

#

Hmm, HE-400i's seem to have a bass rolloff and a spike in the mid-treble

#

That seems to be a closer to "reference" than even my M50X's

#

Man, if the bass was closer to the 560S's the HE-400i's would be very compelling

tacit wing
#

these two planars absolutely dumpsters the sennheisers in staging tho

#

if thats important to you

sly warren
#

Wow, the Airpods pros are actually pretty close to flat.

#

I can't even be angry.

#

Like, good job Apple on convincing people that "flat" is a good sound signature.

#

Oof, I'm glad I never bought SHP9500's

#

Their bass rolloff is SHARP

tacit wing
#

i changed my mind about the SHP's. the grain on the treble is pretty bad i tried it out for a sec

#

PP is better value

sly warren
#

WOW Sony.

#

This is..... A graph all right...

#

Like, holy mother of Bass...

#

Ooooh, HeSuVi has a profile for the HE-400's

tacit wing
#

wtf is that graph

#

is that an xm4

sly warren
#

Yes.

tacit wing
#

thats abysmal

sly warren
#

That graph is the WH-1000XM4's

tacit wing
#

most consumer cans are tuned similarly like that

#

aggro v-shape

small nimbus
#

🤔 i thought xm4 had lower bass

sly warren
#

Nope

small nimbus
#

i read comparison of xm4 vs qc35 ii

tacit wing
#

xm4 shines with its ANC thats it, and the features

sly warren
#

XM3's are the more reasonable graph.

small nimbus
#

and it says xm4 doesn't have increased bass like qc35

sly warren
#

This is actually pretty reasonable.

tacit wing
sly warren
#

And, if I have ~180 bucks kicking around one day and I want better True Wireless Earbuds, I'd buy em.

tacit wing
sly warren
#

The Hump in the high bass isn't too bad, and everything else except maybe the treble is reasonable.

small nimbus
#

yea that xm4 graph is monkaS

#

that article has the bass a lot more neutral

sly warren
#

I'd trust Rtings personally.

small nimbus
#

maybe someone messed with the eq on that graph

tacit wing
#

i refer to Crinacle or Rtings

sly warren
#

Man, now that I have found the Sundaras... I want Sundaras...

tacit wing
sly warren
#

They have the amazing headband of AKG's, with the niceness of Planars.

#

Yeah...

#

If they made a HE400i with the headband of an AKG, i'd be in audio heaven

tacit wing
#

honestly if i was in the market for bluetooth ANC cans, sound sig wouldnt be much of a priority for me like i would be looking for desktop cans for home use

#

Sony's ANC is masterclass and afaik the XM4 has the best features for going out and about

#

the low end is pretty abysmal but i can honestly get past that

sly warren
small nimbus
#

bose would ban me for life if i switched but tbh 700s are a dumpster fire and who knows when qc will get an update

sly warren
#

Dekoni, are the HE4XX's basically the same thing as the HE400i's?

small nimbus
#

even though xm4 is less customizable there's after market wraps i can get so 🤔 i just dunno what to do w/ my current qc35s

tacit wing
#

pretty similar staging and imaging tho

sly warren
#

Yeah, the 4XX's might be a bit closer to the M50X's I have now.

#

Ok, nevermind

#

There's still a bass rolloff

tacit wing
#

they have two colorways

small nimbus
#

they look nice w/ a wrap but default i prefer qc35 look

#

xm4 looks nice though giga smooth

#

and 700s just look alien

sly warren
#

TBH, I wish I could afford a Chord Mojo, just because Dankpods has one.

outer geyser
#

Is this a good place to ask a keyboard question?

#

If it is, i'd love anyones input. Are linear switches good for typing or is clicky/tact/linear just preferance? I'm planning on getting cherry reds and I do a lot of typing. Is this a good idea?

normal barn
#

@tacit wing I have a question

#

How's does the modi magni connect to my pc

#

Is it thru usb

#

Or like something else

swift lantern
#

I'd like to try the chord mojo cuz home studio basics simps for it

tacit wing

only the modi connects to your PC with the included USB

Basically the erxlr thing

Levi's are 59.90

#

Not 90

#

Wow, QCY T5's got a C+ on that IEM Ranking List

tacit wing
#

keep in mimd that list doesnt put price into consideration

#

its literally best to worst in terms just how it sounds sonically

#

Crinacle is reputable nonetheless

sly warren
#

God, I wish I had the 60 grand to just be like "Screw it, I want the absolute best headphones in the world"

small nimbus
#

me too

tacit wing
#

the best headphones in the world makes you look like a science experiment

#

ie. Sennheiser HE1, Abyss 1266

sly warren
#

Honestly, the HE1's just look plain gorgeous

#

And they are silvery white to boot

#

Jesus

#

The down payment for an HE1 is 10 grand

tacit wing
#

its legit equivalent to buying a car

sly warren
#

Yeah.

#

Ok Senny, you people are fooking mad.

#

You can connect the HE1 via USB.

#

USB for christs sake.

tacit wing
#

what about dongle

sly warren
#

Nah, no dongle here.

#

You could use TOSlink if you are a madlad

#

Or a Coaxial cable if you are just an absolute unit.

#

The only way I would ever plug an HE1 in is with Balanced XLR

#

Jeez, apparently the DAC has the capability to have Firmware updates.

#

How TF do you get more perfect than the HE1?
