 It just makes the cut for something like an HT 600. It probably won't work for super power, hungry low sensitivity, type of headphones. So I did find that the signal is very crisp and clear. There'S virtually no noise, like I don't even hear any ambient static type of not static but white noise, where the headphone plugged in sometimes you get some weird weird little noises from time to time

 The bass boosts, which feels nice and the gain switch, also feels nice. It feels substantial, I guess, like I said, all the inputs feel good, especially the headphone jack. I found that plugging in a headphone you get a satisfying click which I appreciated. It seems like everything, is a of a pretty high quality here and that's exceptional considering

 What about some of its features and against which which most people will appreciate, including myself? The gain switch is basically just for more power-hungry headphones you're, not getting as much raw power here as you would with something like a JD s. Labs he's really going to town you're, pretty good, just what I'd expect from the man with the same code as the boss, JD s, labs, objective to that amp outputs. I think 613 milliwatts at 33 ohms. So you could see the difference

 A wine out gain switch and a coax as well as USB front volume. Knob looks like a bass boost. Well, that's a tiny, tiny, amp deck. That sounds very, very good box, and this is nice

FiiO E10K USB DAC Review | BEST BUDGET HEADPHONE AMP/DAC??

At first, I wasn’t sure about spending so much on headphones, but I figured why not go with something that I loved the look of (honestly I think they’re just gorgeous!) and get something that will last! And after using them for only an hour I already feel like it was so worth it! Thank you to this sub for indirectly encouraging me to get these lovelies; I really do adore them!

 I decided on the Meze 99 Classics because I was looking for something really “fun” with bass - and these kept popping up! I just listened to a few songs (it’s paired with a FiiO E10K), and I’m so so impressed by just how... clear? everything sounds! I feel like I can hear so many details in songs that I’ve listened to a million times

. clear? everything sounds! I feel like I can hear so many details in songs that I’ve listened to a million times. It also seems way easier to focus on individual parts of the music if I want to! So now I feel like I’m just going to be sitting here listening to music for the rest of the day lol. I also play lots of RPGs and I’m so excited to see how they sound with them! 

They weren't making that color combo when I bought mine a couple of years ago but I definitely would have bought the maple. My walnut and silver are still sexy and run them off of the Fiio BTR5 most of the time and it's a great combo as well.

New to the sub and thought I’d say hi! Hopefully I used the right flair.

So I got this DAC-Amp a few months ago and use them with the headphones Sennheiser HD 598. I have a few things to say about them. For the price, it's not a good DAC-Amp. I will give it maybe a $50 price and that's because you can find a better DAC-Amp more advanced at a $70 price

 For the price, it's not a good DAC-Amp. I will give it maybe a $50 price and that's because you can find a better DAC-Amp more advanced at a $70 price. The sound quality is not great, it's basic and not improving sound, only Amplifier. The bass feels very bad, and on %80 of sound, it will make the sound quality sounds terrible and unprofessional

It's not more then ok

* **Budget** \- I'm hoping to be around the same price as the ATH-WS1100iS here in terms of pricing.  (Sub $250)

* **Preferred tonal balance** \- I absolutely love my ATH-WS1100iS headphones, that being said though, I am looking for something *different* to those as I am not looking to replace them, just to expand my headset collection and am open to trying something new that will complement those. :)

Looking for another set of headphones to complement my ATH-WS1100iS, so something different than those.  I have been looking at Audio Technica headsets mainly since I absolutely love my ATH-WS1100iS.  

* **What would you like to improve on from your set-up** \- I am not looking for an upgrade to my existing headphones (ATH-WS1100iS) because I am honestly in love with those, what I am looking for is something different.  Some of the Audio Technica models that I have been looking at and considering are the R70X's, the AD1000X / 900X / 700X, and the a550z / a950z.  The reason I am posting here though is because I am worried that some / all of those headphones may be very similar to the pair I already have, and was seeking advice / recommendations from you all.  Thanks!

**Low–mid budget TWS for iPhone everyday use (alternative for AirPods Pro)**

I know I've been posting this question many times now, but I decided it's the last one on the subject because I came up with the perfect competitors for me.

I'm looking for an AirPods Pro alternative (because those are way too expensive and doesn't fit confidently in my ears) for iPhone and MacBook, I'm going to use them everywhere, always, but Zoom and phone calls are the most important, by the way,

Here's the priority list:

1. Call quality
2. Controls
3. Features
4. Design
5. Music quality

To get you some perspective, music quality is the last on the list not because I want to hear 144p music from youtube, but I want the sound to be good, it's just that I don't need it to be the main strength of certain earbuds.

Of course, it would be great if the earbuds would have a great sound and call quality, but you can't have all of those for mid–low budget, right?... Or can you? Tell me your secrets

After a plethora of found options, long discussions, and other research, this is the final list:

1. Anker SoundCore Liberty 2 Pro *(heard that call quality is bad)*
2. Anker SoundCore Liberty Air 2
3. FIIL T1XS
4. JABRA Elite 75t *(seen too many posts with technical issues)*
5. OPPO Enco W51 *(sit perfectly in my ears, but I'll have to use my phone a lot with those controls)*
6. Samsung Galaxy Buds+ *(perfect overall, but no ANC)*
7. Sony WF-1000xm3 *(too bulky, has annoying LEDs)*
8. Sabbat E12
9. Creative Outlier Gold

Hi,

Amazon's black Friday deal started. And I'm wondering which of their headphone deal gives the best sound quality for around 100 pounds. Primarily gaming, willing to spend a bit more for attached mic (like modmic?)

A good bass would be a plus but not necessary :) 

Many thanks.

Tech Support: setup: iPhone streaming Spotify + camera adapter + external lightning power cord> Schiit Modi 1 > Vali 2 > SR225e

I get occasional crackling in my headphones that seems to resolve on unplugging my iPhone from the Modi and effectively rebooting the DAC.

It happens with either headphones, either amp, either RCA connector, and it’s happened both with an rPi streaming airplay from my iPhone to my DAC and my iPhone directly connected to the DAC.

Is this a known issue with the Modi 1? Is it just old? Or does it sound like a streaming issue? It’s definitely a crackle, not a digital sounding noise, so I’m leaning DAC. But maybe I just want a Modi 3...

Looking for a headset (primarily gaming, also used for other things):

Budget: $150, but the cheaper the better. Looking for maximum value. I also DON'T need a mic, I have a separate one.

Source: Anything wireless works, 2.4ghz is fine, if it's bluetooth it should also have a wireless option

Isolation: Need a lot. The person at the desk next to me yells a lot when he plays games. He's about 20 feet away and can reach 90db. I'd prefer to be able to block it out.

Probably won't be using headphones in public.

Type of headphones: I'd prefer an over-ear kind of thing. Want to make sure the headphones go all the way around my ear comfortably.

Tonal balance: No preference.

Past headphones: Logitech G430, I liked the 7.1 surround sound but it was poorly built. 

Preferred music: Usually just gaming. 

Improvements: I'd like to go wireless and have a black headset so it matches everything on my desk, while also cancelling out the noise so I can do my own thing. One of the headsets I found was the Soundcore Q30 and I've been impressed by Anker in the past. Thanks for the help!

I'm trying to decide between Sony WF-1000XM3 and Samsung Galaxy Buds Live.

- I'm coming from cheap in ear earphones so I'm expecting to be impressed with sound quality on either model. Though I'm reading that Sony's are better. 

- I'm concerned about Sony's comfort - they look chunky and seem to stick out of ears. Buds look very comfy. 

- I've never tried ANC but the idea seems nice. 

- I listen to a lot of audio books, some music. I run occasionally but nothing intense. 

- Buds live are 30% cheaper
 

Any recommendations between those two?

I have a Schitt magni 2 and he400i and I need a replacement wire for my headphones. That would be 2.5mm headphone input and 6.3mm for the schitt but if I already have a 3.5mm to 6.3mm should I go for 3.5mm? 

I guess what I’m asking is to confirm the 2.5 and 6.3 numbers and also is using a converter detrimental to quality in any way that would make we want to sacrifice the versatility of 3.5 with the converter?

my current headphones are the bose QC20s and I wanted to see if there were any good upgrades from this? I am mostly interested in headphones with similar quality of ANC. The audio pass through feature on these headphones is amazing and I want that, but with a less annoying battery on the headphones if possible... what are my options?

Broken plug on HyperX cloud II headset, need help with wire cutting.

My 3.5mm audio plug recently bent and broke off and I’m looking for tips. I’m fairly comfortable with smoldering and installing a new plug, but I don’t feel safe cutting the wire as it is fabric sleeved and I’ve never worked with anything similar. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some headphones, but I have no clue what I should get.

* **Budget** \- Around €100-€300 in the Netherlands, but I'm open to anything with good reason.
* **Source** \- Desktop pc, laptop and mobile (via bluetooth) and a Nord piano 2 (via 6.5mm jack. I have an adapter from 3.5mm or 6.5mm jack)
* **Requirements for Isolation** \- Nice-to-have. I will primarily use them at home, but it helps me focus.
* **Will you be using these Headphones in Public?** \- Not necessarily, but if possible, I will.
* **Preferred Type of Headphone** \- I'd prefer full-size headphones. I think I'd prefer over-ear headphones, but I don't have a lot of experience in this field.
* **Preferred tonal balance** \- No clue.
* **Past headphones** \- I have had:

A broken house of marley liberate xlbt. I like the bluetooth as it allows me to just walk around while working or watching a video on my desktop. They are prety easy to use. They are a bit tight around my (relatively large) head, which starts hurting after about 30 minutes, though I often use them all day long.

Jabra Evolve 80 through work. They are very comfortable (except the microphone that pushes against the corner of my mouth) and the active noice canceling is great. I've learnt that even in a home setting, they help me focus on tasks.

* **Preferred Music** \- I listen to mostly things in the range from jazz to pop. I also watch a lot of movies (which may also be important?)
* **What would you like to improve on from your set-up?** \-  Currently, I have no headphones that work with my piano. I want to have a pair of headphones that just work and with which I can do all the things outlined above, like connect to my devices wirelessly and connect to my piano. I also want them to be comforatble, as I will use them a lot. I like drowning out my thoughts with music, so good audio quality would be great!

I don't need extra smart-fuctions like alexa or necessary mobile apps. I'd rather have headphones that just work.

&#x200B;

Do you guys have any suggestions? Or things I should look out for? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! 

I am currently expecting a pair of Sennheiser HD660S. 

I was wondering if I should pair them with the new Fiio Q3 headphone amp. I currently run a Fiio A5 amp (apparently discontinued) with a Fiio M6 DAP. I play mostly Hi resolution .wav, .flac and DSD files for jazz and classical. 

Is the Q3 worth the upgrade? I don't know if my current setup will be good enough. 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello! Im looking to buy a new pair of headphones, and im not really sure which ones would be best. My first picks at the moment are Senheiser's hd 450bt's and Sony's wh1000xm3's. I was pretty much decided on the xm3's but then I read that their sound quality isn't very good and now im not sure anymore. Does the 450bt have better sound quality? What would be some alternatives? My budget is around 200 euros. Im looking for good sound quality, wireless capabilities with the option for wired, comfort and atleast a bit of noise cancellation, doesn't have to be ANC though it would be very nice.

Hi, I posted in the last thread asking about DAC/amps and if they were still necessary or not lol. I think I decided that, due to mixed feedback, I'll buy a cheaper portable one (ala Dragonfly or maybe a Chord Mojo if the headphones really require it).

Anyway, now it's time for the big headphones question:

* **Budget:** Around $1000 USD (not including the DAC/amp). Possibly slightly flexible (like maybe willing to go up to $1200 if I have to).
* **Source:** Like I said, I'll be buying an affordable portable DAC/amp like a Dragonfly or Chord Mojo.
* **Will you be using these headphones in public?** Don't plan to.
* **Preferred type of headphone:** Over-the-ear.
* **Preferred tonal balance:** I'd say I'm looking for an overall balanced pair. 
* **Past headphones:** Sennheiser Momentums, which I think I remember having particularly nice treble? It's been a long time. Also I think I remember the sound surprisingly not leaking, which I liked as well, but isn't really a make-or-break contingent for me. I had a pair of Master and Dynamics after that but I can't remember the model. The sound quality was more or less the same as the Momentums. Then, for the last five years, I've had Sennheiser HD650's, which I've been happiest with. They have no particularly strong points, but just sound the most neutral and accurate. They're not all that exciting to listen to either (maybe that's because I never got a DAC/amp), but I'd rather have balance and accuracy over excitement.
* **Preferred music:** Mostly electronic/dance. 
* **What would you like to improve on from your set-up:** I guess whatever is considered a step up from the 650s that AREN'T the 800's lol. I like neutrality, accuracy, a big soundstage, being able to hear lots of little details more easily, and things of that nature. However, the general consensus seems to be that headphones like that require expensive DAC/amp setups to really thrive, so maybe I'm being unrealistic. And, maybe the answer will be that if I'm already in the $1000 budget range, I should just cough up the rest for the 800's. (And then pay god knows what for the appropriate DAC/amp... ugh.)

I have a list of possibilities jotted down in my notes. It'll be interesting to see if I'm recommended a pair from that list. Sorry for the tl;dr.

Hello and thanks in advance for the help! I'm very new when it comes to really understanding audio and what to look for in headphones.  

I don't think it matters but I'm currently looking at in ear wireless headphones. 

I own the Bose Wireless Soundsport Free currently

I started my journey a year ago with DT990 pro and SoundblasterX G6. I've been tempted to upgrade for a while and i finally bought two more headphones: AKG712 pro and SennheiserHD6XX. 

Should i upgrade the dac/amp too?

What are the best headphones that are used or new under 150$ looking for an iPhone? Was looking for the Sony WF-1000XM3
Or the 4th, but 4th is way too expensive. Any thoughts?
