I almost want to gamble again and get another pair of FT1 Pro. Few months ago I got one wich was rattling on the right side when producing low frequency noises and I had to return it.

>>109477364

I wouldn't lose anything, just 10 minutes to drop them off again at the post office. I'll think about it.

Indeed, but it's still in beta, so expect some bugs. It works fine for me, tho.

What are some good earbuds or earphones for an MP3 player or mobile phone? My HD 560S headphones kind of reveal to me how bad and uncomfortable my earbuds are. Seriously, I got fatigue from sticking those into my ear for so long now. I have some Life Q20 or whatever these things are headphones but I need something that's easy on the battery life and portable, so earbuds would still be good.

any good recs for solid gold headphones?

>>109477364
The design itself is the problem. jt7 is the same. Just avoid fiio planars for now.

Not just their planars if you ask me.

I managed to get a full refund out of Amazon even though they were out of the return window.
Never going with these again. I only got them because the PS3 ones were so good and assumed it would be somewhat similar. Is there anything in the $200 range that has a decent mic that you guys recommend or does it make more sense to just get a decent little boom mic and in-ear monitors?

>>109477364
just buy used aeons if you want cheap planars, anything that was this low quality across the board is a waste of time for basically no upside. Most chinese trash just ends up costing more in the long run than anything decent as time has proven endlessly

>>109477364
seems like qa quality is worse with cheaper products, they usually have good press for more expensive stuff. But at that price for planars u can try chinkfiman sundara, editions xs (and quality is more random but if u get good unit its just that chinkfiman sound that can sound impressive at times), maybe moondrop para 2 could be an option, this one is more expensive but didnt seen any obvious quality problems and driver by itself is pretty capable, good for pad rolling and eq if u need it

new playstation headsets are pretty good, inzone h9, h6 air, they are using drivers from sony's audiophile headphones. for wireless stuff i would go for anything that has app with good parametric eq build

>>109486128
>seems like qa quality is worse with cheaper products, they usually have good press for more expensive stuff.
like what? the k9 pro their le epic aio was just dying in 13m, convientially outside the 12m warranty on a $800 product, all i ever see from fiio buyers is dongles and those snapping budget planars

>>109479746
>Takes like 20 mins to do that to DT770.
...if you know how to solder already and are willing to fuck up your warranty and shit, not everybody is into that, retard.
>i dont trust anything they make since being bought out by china
these came out like a month after the acquisition, very unlikely they weren't designed by beyer themselves, the dt 240 pro (its predecessor with similar sound signature) came out all the way back in 2018 and that was also made in china, dt 770/700 and other beyer headphones are also pretty much just assembled in germany and nothing more, the fact they're made in china means absolutely nothing and the 770s are also full of qc and build quality issues if that's your concern.
you're literally just saying made in china = bad and that's it, but that's not how any of this works, the place of manufacturing generally has no bearing on the actual quality of the product and the "made in germany" on other beyer headphones is just a marketing gimmick when all the parts are from china as well, what a retard.

>>109486173
like with ft5 and ft7 planar headphones, on the other hand u might be right, i forget about their source gear, in my case i didnt have problems with their DAPs but i can recall few post on headfi about devices dying after software updates and so on.
For me Fiio is still above stuff like topping, xduoo, hifiman but in general good practice before buying anything from china is to research bit more than 2-3 most popular yt reviews, usually headfi threads are good for finding long term problems with gear

my energy reference 22's have dead tweeters and it's about $500 cad to get them fixed (200x2+shipping)
i wonder if its even worth it to try or something else in that price range would just be better

>>109486199
i see, it would be hard to be as bad as topping and hifiman that is quite true. As for their amps it just seems like a nightmare overall, i mean they used the akm fire to revise the k9 pro with ess and add holes to the case and it was still failing constantly, some said bad solder jobs, some said they couldnt even fix them because they were too far gone, shame really
but hey at least it didnt explode headphones like that topping amp

>>109486128
>new playstation headsets are pretty good
this is literally what i'm trying to get away from. they don't have enough bass, the speakers are some kind of weird magnetic thing that sounds like it's popping and is very tinny, and the build quality is horrible. I've been very careful with these and the arm is about to snap from just wearing it on my head

>>109486696
these models use normal dynamic drivers, if u need tougher build it comes at cost of more weight

Why does everyone recommend the FT1? From what I've seen, they seem to self destruct after a year of use.
Any other recommendations for a closed back under $200? Preferably warm

>>109488165
For closed back it's probably as good as it gets in this price range. I would pay more for hd480 pro or went with iems

Beyerdynamic DT 270 Pro

Been rocking the lily audio genesis one for a couple months now and theyre fantastic, but I feel like I'm missing out on what they can do after reading a bunch of reviews saying you need a decent speaker amp to really drive them to their full potential. The early posts on the kickstarter page said my jotunheim 3 was strong enough to drive it but it doesn't get very loud, and I really don't wanna drop another couple hundred on another amp.

This is one power hungry fuck, wut do?

I watched a Edifier R1280DB unbox and the video mentioned you can't control the volume from the OS. You have to use the knob. Is that the case for all the speakers with knobs?

>>109498620
You can control the volume from the OS with the non- db version on windows. If you use a tv it can be different story depending on their spyware OS garbage.
Still I wouldnt rec them since the power supply broke only after a few years

>>109498802
I don't know much about speakers so when I prompted gpt I was told anything with cable cant be controlled by an OS unless it has a usb connection. Is that true?

>>109498909
Active speaker vol control works same as with headphones connected to a jack, eg the OS can control the volume with headphones

Passive speakers then require an amp between the pc and the speakers and I never used that setup.

>>109498620
maybe i'm retarded, but can't you just set the volume knob to the max (or whichever maximum volume you're comfortable with) and then control the volume through the os? should achieve the same end result, you're just doing the volume adjustment in a fully digital manner (which isn't really an issue especially if you're outputting 24/32 bits)
>Is that the case for all the speakers with knobs?
well the creative pebble v3/pro have usb volume control with the os plus a knob (that rotates freely rather than a set range), adjusting the physical knob adjusts your windows volume (you'll see the volume flyout like when doing so through your keyboard) so i guess not, probably not as common in bookshelf speakers though.

>>109498620
You can control everything from the OS, it's just most active speakers hiss so you'll want to have the OS volume as high as possible and speaker volume as low as possible.

It's false. I gave mine to my sister and they survived a rough environment.

>>109504692
moondrop skyland, moondrop cosmo, probably dan clark stuff, fiio ft7. But i doubt any of that will beat he1000 airy sound (for me its too bright but i have to say, with certain kind of music is implessive), if u are brave enough u can get 3d printed headphones with hifiman susvara drivers from aliexpress, sold under brands like xk-audio fluxion or efep
And thats for planars
For DDs u can go with focals or hedd audio D1, also new Aune AR5000mk2 and AR9000

i ordered the sheepskin brainwavz pads for hd600 and the xl round ones for my akgs and x2
let's see how they are, I got some regular brainwavz pads for my rp-htf600s, which are pretty decent in terms of comfort, cant get the tone right though

might splurge on some iems and Sony MDR-ZX110 too
we'll see

>>109504692
I'm pretty happy with my verum 2 and some eq. Haven't heard the he1000 so can't compare them directly but the timbre and imaging on the verum is really impressive once you tune it to preference.

not an audio expert by any means but after I accidentally broke the analog out of my motherboard I had to resort to Apple's dongle DAC for my DT 770 Pros and the audio sounds flatter. Would a better DAC help with this?

>>109508927
yeah apple dongle doesnt have enough headroom especially if youre in the eu
its more of an amp problem than a dac problem but all dongles are 2 in 1
you're also limited by usb power

>>109508956
>especially if youre in the eu
Great, I love this place. Should I start looking for a proper amp then?

>>109509006
yeah that or gamble on an aliexpress dongle's longevity.
there are some affordable dacamps around or under 100 bucks by topping and the likes, anything more would be overkill for a DT 770 and might not outperform a 20 euro dongle anyways but having a proper knob is nice

>>109507659
I had the pro and it was great, only thing that sounded better were large planars. But those 490's will last a lifetime they are built like a rock.

>>109509006
u can buy dongle but with more power, i think even jcally jm6 pro will be enough. U can ored most of that shit from aliexpress or chinks stores with audio like shenzenaudio, hifigo, linsoul. Desktop DAC/AMP combo will be bit more expensive but will offer more power and probably more pleasing experience

>>109509660
Thanks I could probably snag the jcally jm6 pros for 20 euros or future-proof with a proper dac/amp but I don't want to drop more than 100 right now.

>>109509744
double check required power because i didnt used it with high ohm headpones. For bit more u have dongles like moondrop pro 2 or crinear protocol max with build in eq and more power. U can also find on aliexpress cheap full size headhpone amplifiers for less than 100usd, under brands like Douk Audio (but u need to do bit more research what is worth buying)

so i ended up ordering the D1 in the end, thanks for the recommendations to look through.

>>109513965
keep it mind it will be neutral kind of sound, if u like v shape or bass boost that can be problem. But really good choice, from that list if i had to buy something it would be either D1 or Aune stuff, im bit tired of planar sound (tho i have to say, if u never tried good planar it can be impressive at times, same with good multidriver IEMs)

As for cables its still in lower tier of snake oil cables. If u ever need audiphile cables with thicker and more premium look u can find lots of that stuff on aliexpress for fraction of that price

>>109514225
I like neutral sound. My other favorite headphone is the 490 pro. Once I got a taste of honest sound I cant go back to muffled bass boosted crap. besides, I could always eq it..

>>109514225
Also I have less than zero interest in expensive cables. I don't believe for one moment that it's going to affect sound quality at all.

>>109514663
i meant around 20-30USD range cables, I am not talking about how they sound because thats meme. They are just nicer to work with than stock cables in some cases. 300usd cable isnt even that expensive if u dive into weird audiophile snake oil shit

490 pro is really good headpos. I almost think that if u plan to use 490 pro with ur new headpos it would be better choice to go with something planar driver, just for sake of change.

yeap, they are more fragile but you cant destroy it by puting fingers in wrong place. What can kill them:
-drop from desk
-moisture so no using it after shower or in super hot and humid weather
-u need to be gentle when put them on your head, especially when pads are not vented with holes, pressure spike can crinkle drivers or even rip them
But im using them for years and nothing happens

Is it normal for Sennheiser headphones to smell like Zyklon B or whatever other chemical when opening and wearing them?
It seems the chemicals and VOC they use for sealing the driver or manufacturing the earpads causes me allergic migraine aura and airway irritation(esp my throat) symptoms, it's not quite like migraine sufferers who get awful headaches for hours from VOCs but bad enough to confirm that at least their HD 480 PRO models emit harmful levels of VOCs and a bad smell.
Anyone else in the same case? wether the smell distracted you or gave you full on migraines, i'm certain it *is* Sennheiser's fault, no other headphone brand did this to me or smelled like that, googling it i could find people complaining about similar problems on their Momentum and 6xx series.

When i bought their Lensys(couldn't find Azurys and preferred the color anyway) what i got is 1 to 1.5db imbalance, centered sounds that seemed to always come from the northeast/northwest and headphones so small and tight i'd believe it was built for multicentenary 142cm nojalolis, at least the sound was decent if you ignored the dip at 2khz and weirdness near 3khz and the beyer-like peak near 8.5khz.
Hopefully the refund process went smoothly, also if you want to buy earpads you have to contact them and pray it's in stock and it won't be out of stock for months, awful experience.
The only good thing is the aesthetics and the timbre??
Also for some reason the azurys has been out of stock or difficult to find for months even in france, wtf is happening at Focal?? they lie and act like they don't even try to make and sell things...

Manufacturing your own shit in yurop is basically impossible
Also they're fr*nch

I just bought some used speakers off eBay, they are on the way and I don't really care if they are hi-fi approved, but apparently they are "5.1". Now, I didn't really understand this at the time of ordering, but apparently this means my music and old ass dos and ps1 games might not support this feature. I honestly assumed the extra speakers didn't need extra audio, but apparently all my stuff now needs center, back, and subwoofer audio channels? So what will happen? Will my random music off of Soulseek sound inconsistent with my speakers? Will my dos games sound flat in comparison? Will I need to start finding specific movie torrents with "5.1 audio"? What the fuck did I just get myself into. Even worse I'm on Linux so god only knows if I can get "5.1 audio" or whatever. Should I just unplug all the speakers besides left and right? This has made me incredibly anxious and I am honestly paralized. I might just throw them out. Please help me, I am very retarded.

you can only plug two speakers and the subwoofer if you prefer standard stereo audio
many games support more than 2 speakers and kino torrents with dolby 5.1 audio are generally easy to find
for stereo audio afaik either it will upmix to 5.1 or it will only use the LR speakers and subwoofer

>many games support more than 2 speakers
Okay, I'll just have to look into it, I mostly play doom 2 and emulate some games.
>for stereo audio afaik either it will upmix to 5.1 or it will only use the LR speakers and subwoofer
Okay, so what does this mean in a practical sense? Will my "upmixxed" music sound worse? Can I find music that has full "5.1" mixing? This is my biggest concern, I listen to loads of random music from the 60s to present year, even some video game/movie rips, and lots of random garbage I find off the internet.

i don't think it has to do with being french, beyerdynamic has gone to shit too, i mean they have made the single worst wireless headphone ever(amiron wireless and lagoon anc) with a qualcomm dac that permanently hisses with one channel that buzzes(not a manufacturing defect, they are all like that) and now they got bought by chinese people
if beyer's wireless offerings are not world's worst then i wonder how tf is it possible to do worse than that.

generally if it's not some dolby dsp it will just mean that the backleft and front left channel will play the same signal for example, at worst if you don't like it you should be able to mute or unplug the back speakers and be done with it
since you're on linux the behavior should be configurable, depends

>>109523302
What about the center speaker? Doesn't that have its own audio too?

>>109523282
At least the Amiron Wireless introduced those foam discs that make the treble on the Tygr 300 bearable so it's made one positive contribution to the headphone world

Oh those look really nice. Too bad they came out in 2016. Fuck you
