It vexes me that my Airpods 4 have better separation than my HD600s
>>107888030that's hilarious
What's the best open back like closed back headphone
>>107888576none, but the ones in OP probably.
>>107888581I have a he400se, but I would love something closed back like it basicallyI guess I'll keep looking
>>107888576Z1R unironically, ogrepriced tho
>>107888598Fiio ft1, for me it looks like bootleg ZMF but it's shilled hard
>>107888030>I had Hifiman Arya Stealth connected via XLR, Focal Elegia via 4.4mm, and B&W P7 via 6.35mm.Dude had 3 headphones connected and playing all at the same time when it happened
>>107888638Well this is awkward... I have those as wellI don't think I would qualify them that way
>>107888027Any good dongles to use with a 560s? Got recommended by a friend a fiio ka11 but at that price point i could go a few bucks extra and get a fiio e10k. Any better (potentially cheaper) options?
>>107888935Jcally jm6
>>107888027How do canlets cope with the fact that you are supposed to hear stereo sound with both ears at once from each sound source?
>>107888678In his defense it's sometimes a feature, Beyerdynamic's A20 amp was explicitly sold as being able to power two headphones for exampleThat and lazyness probably made it seem not important to not have more headphones plugged in than necessary
>>107888678While that's pretty stupid, none of those should've been drawing enough current to fry something that can push almost 8 Watts per channel. Maybe there's some fuckery going on with the combination of different inductive and capacitive loads, but if the output stage is so sensitive to such loads that it can blow up, it's just plain poorly designed.
