The term 7.1 was made for actual Speakers, not Headphones.

just because you can theoretically do something that should theoretically be the best, doesnt mean it is. thats the way it is with the vast majority of DACs over 300 or so dollars

multiple drivers in each year means sound comes from different places in space
so how is it not the best pair of headphones skiptrace?
sly warren
It's muddy because it has too much bass, and it's super closed in feeling, likely due to all of the drivers they crammed into it.

Muddy? Closed in?

How is saying something sounds closed in objective
Because it sounds like you are listening inside of a tin can. Nobody in their right mind thinks that sounds good.
west hornet
soundstaging would be the space the sound has, some headphones you can hear a "shape" to the sound, are you in a square room, a theatre, or does it feel like speakers on top of your head. imaging would be more where the sounds appear to come from, more locational
glad yarrow
That's an objective listen, compared to the "referee" of headphones the HD600
but thats only 2 speakers so all sound comes from same place... bad sound stage right?

The Tiamats, due to the way they are designed, can't actually provide the benefits of having 7 drivers and a sub. I don't know the exact details because I'm not an audio engineer, but I just know they don't actually provide any real benefits compared to a good pair of stereo headphones.

split nimbus
Wireless loses audio quality, both on the mic and the headphones.
Um
You know wireless bandwidth can be just as high as USB bandwidth, right?
sly warren
It's still lossy.
split nimbus
So is USB
sly warren
A Wire doesn't incurr loss.
A Wireless Signal travelling through the air can incurr heavy losses due to electromagnetic interference in the air.
split nimbus
Wires can incur plenty of loss
sly warren
USB is Digital, however it isn't lossy.
Maybe if the cable is incredibly poorly made there's loss over USB.
But, for there to be Loss over a Digital Wired Signal, you'd literally have to have an incorrect Off or On state.
Since Digital has 2 states, Off and On.
sly warren
And, it's incredibly rare for you to have Loss in a Digital Signal since it's significantly easier to... not have loss in the first place.
split nimbus
It's incredibly rare because the communication protocols are made to be fault tolerant
Not because it doesn't happen
sly warren
I never said USB had No Loss. Because that's impossible, there ARE errors in digital data, but for the intents and purposes of Digital Audio, most Wired connections are considered Lossless.
split nimbus
Wireless can be just as lossless then
sly warren
Wireless Digital Audio though is, almost never going to be lossless.
No? You can't control Electromagnetic Radiation in the Air anywhere NEAR as easily as you can over a wire.
split nimbus
There is no difference, you can have the same bandwidth, the same error correction
sly warren
There IS a difference though. The lack of Wires inherently adds complexity and loss into the equation.
split nimbus
It's a digital signal, if you have strong enough EMI in the frequency band to interfere with a wireless signal to the point where you lose enough bandwidth to impact audio quality you have serious issues
sly warren
Or you have... a normal situation...
2.4ghz has so much overlap that it's stupid easy to have your Wireless Headset or Bluetooth Earbuds just drop quality because you're too close to enough other Wireless devices.
split nimbus
Skip, wireless audio is usually lossy because it's heavily compressed, not because of interference
Think about it, you can have multiple devices on WiFi, each pulling down close to a gigabit of bandwidth with no data corruption
Wireless communication is incredibly fault tolerant
The reason wireless is usually bad is that they have cheap transceivers that use lossy compression and garbage DACs
You get good transceivers and a good DAC and there is no reason a wireless headphone can't have the same signal quality as wired
west hornet
i think i heard some company working on lossless bluetooth
i would imagine it would affect battery life
split nimbus
Apple has something like that, it definitely would

2.4ghz has so much overlap that it's stupid easy to have your Wireless Headset or Bluetooth Earbuds just drop quality because you're too close to enough other Wireless devices.

Although UR40s might float more around 50-55

they wouldnt have much noise cancellation tho
sly warren
What they lose in noise cancellation, they gain in the ability to hear sounds in the game from the proper direction.
If you've ever played Rainbow 6 Siege, you'll know of it's infamously poor Audio Engine and how bad it's Spatial Audio is.
KSC75 spits in the face of that and says "Here's the correct direction for that audio sir"
rigid valve
they wouldnt have much noise cancellation tho
If you want noise cancellation you’re gonna have to step up the budget like $5 or $10 and get something like Creative Aurvana L!VE SE
But have way worse directional audio
So do you want noise cancellation or positional audio
You have to choose
grizzled granite
So do you want noise cancellation or positional audio
positional audio
sly warren
Then i'd buy KSC75X's and an Apple USB-C to 3.5mm Dongle
And a USB-C To USB-A converter if you don't have any USB-C ports.
The KSC75X's have a mic on them
And the dongle is so you can use the Mic and Headphones easily on your PC.
And it has a nice little audio quality boost.
rigid valve
Ok
sly warren
Why not?
sly warren
Porta Pros are a bit eh. A little too muddy for Gaming from my experience.
UR40 are good, though fitment can be a bit funky, the earcups are kinda shallow.
queen sigil
KSC75 spits in the face of that and says "Here's the correct direction for that ...
hahaha no
sly warren
I'm gonna have to ask you to sit down because, that was my literal experience with KSC75 vs PC37X's
rigid valve
That doesn’t mean that the KSC75 fixed the problem to be fair
It just means that it has better soundstage and imaging than PC37X

r6 audio is like super easy to understand unless u aint using headphones at all

if your concern is noise cancellation tbh there's some actual choices in iem side as i see
don't know so much but yeah sub $50 iems seems to float around more than it used to
some etymotic er2s perhaps?
that one with double flange eartips looks way more uncomfortable than wearing ksc75s lol
but for the most part people doesn't seem to have so much problems with it
otherwise it's just the budget who is the issue for low amounts of 'good' choices

saw the Razer Huntsman Mini on sale for 60 pounds, would you say its worth?
also do the astro a40's have good sound quality
digital ether
what are some good headphones
/headset
preffered wireless
but can be used wired
sly warren
I mean, if you ditch the Wireless need, KSC75's fit basically all ears.
digital ether
ok
sly warren
But, is there an upper limit as to how much you are willing to spend?
digital ether
399 aud
sly warren
Oh... AUD...
digital ether
so like 250 usd i think
sly warren
https://addictedtoaudio.com.au/collections/over-ear-headphones/products/sennheiser-hd-560s-open-back-headphones I'd recommend these also. You may have to go digging to find them though.
If you already had a DAC and Amp, I could recommend the ATH-R70X
digital ether
i dont
sly warren
But, I doubt you have a DAC and Amp if you are asking for Wireless gear.
But, the HD 560S is about the peak you can do without a DAC and Amp
Oh and here's a link to the KSC75's
digital ether
not that
sly warren
Why?
digital ether
2 wires
digital ether
i want it to cover my whole ear

You literally forget you are wearing them.

oh
what about the audeze penrose
yea that seems more suited to what i want
anything similar?
sly warren
Penrose is... Ok at best. I wouldn't buy it because it's going to be heavy AF. Audeze uses Planar Magnetic driver technology, and on top of them being Wireless, the Planar drivers weigh more than a traditional Dynamic Driver.

You aren't going to get Better, with a Gaming Headset.
They are all effectively on the same level, except for the ultra-dirt-cheap stuff.
digital ether
so it will sound better than my g935?
sly warren
Oh hell yes it will.
HD560S are going to sound like a breath of fresh air compared to any Gaming Headset.
digital ether
its pre order only
sly warren
Yes, due to stock issues.
If you pre-order it, you can just wait for it to show up at your doorstep
sly warren
Is it really worth 50 AUD more for it to show up faster?
digital ether
probably not
because i need a mic too

I'd normally recommend this mic to just about anyone, but jeez AUD pricing is whack.

under $50 mic

im using a g935 headset mic
so anything better than that

https://www.amazon.com.au/Microphone-Computer-Cardioid-Condenser-Professional/dp/B081RJ9PLP/ref=sr_1_2 This might come in right at 50 AUD. IDK
