I want to try my first magnetoplanar headphones, I was thinking to buy the Audeze Monolith. Thoughts? Are they worth it? I already have a big audio system with 4 speakers, I want some high end cans as well. Give me your honest opinion.
>>130159672I have cheap planars but they sound great, imagine the quality still goes up, but i dunno where the price/quality cutoff would be on planars
i just bought the hifiman edition xs and they sound amazing, listening on the first day reminded me of the first time I swtiched from AV to hdmi cables. had to buy an amp for them but I think you can use without just might not get everything out of it. I didn't buy specifically for the magnetic planar stuff but they are great headphones feels like you're inside the music very comfortable as well but i have a huge head so idk
>>130159672I owned these and it's not worth it. They sound good but the build quality is so shitty and like me, you may end up with a pair that gives off a high-pitched sound in one of the drivers. I use Hifiman planars now, I like them much more and in the same price range.
>>130161020>high-pitched sound in one of the driversI think that's just your tinnitus anon
>>130161116funny and originalmany reviews on amazon and youtube point out this design flaw, buy at you are own risk
>>130159709>have cheap planarsWhich one?
>>130159672theres not much use for headphones if you have speakers. at least with iems you get noise isolation. i have all three of them and i mostly use speakers and iems
>>130164509hifiman he400secheap af but made me realize it can go a lot higher in quality so im def upgrading to at least an $800 pair soon.also currently only running it through a shitty fiio dongle, gonna get a stack as well for full power.also, the open back design creates such a nice soundstage. i still enjoy blasting through my chinkshit iems which are basically mono in comparison but it all works pretty swell
Thinking to buy the HiFi Man Deva Pro, I need bluetooth headphones that have actual great sound, thoughts?
>>130159672Find a place to demo them instead of trusting retards on /mu/>>>/g/hpg
