Is there a dac you would recommend well for the Atom? Or should I just go magni3 modi3 route since I’m won’t be getting into this hardcore for a while?

I think I'm just gunna go the 6XX route. I've heard with all the $100 amp options out now that the Magni 3 is kinda sub par and that the Atom is king now

Guess I’ll save an extra $100 and try and get a mint used pair.

so if im using a magni/modi 3 the 660's arent really worth the price jump from the 6xx?

way out of budget sadly :/

Reading that, I feel like I would like warmer.

I don't know what brighter/darker/warmer means :/ I'm new to the audio lingo world.

Okay guys, I don't wanna dig through 2810 pages so i'll just ask this. I will most likely be buying a Magni 3 / Modi 3. Now to fill out the rest of my $400 budget, i'm considering either new 6xx or used 600s My main uses would be just normal every day desktop stuff. Listening to youtube...

how much was the drop?

Can anyone recommend a custom cable for the 6XX that isn’t the same damn price as the headphones themself? Lol, the stock cable is gross and too short for me. I don’t need godlike sound/quality or anything. Just something around 7-9ft and looks good for hopefully under or at $50?

my pc, looking at all this for a desk set up

Can anyone recommend a good amp/dac combo for the 6xx? currently looking at a Schiit Stack of the 3/2, the o2/odac combo, or anything else recommended around ~250-300$

Hi guys, hopefully this is the right place for this Okay, so here is my gear: Audio Technica AT2035 (not that it matters for my question, but just in case) Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Audio Interface Klipsch Pro Media 2.1 Speakers Philips SHP9500 (with 3.5mm to 1/4" cable) Now, my question is...

I would have totally got these this time around if it wasn't almost a 6 month wait time :(

I'm really excited, $53 open back headphones that have been/are compared to $200-500 headphones And I've never used Open Back so this is my first time diving into this sea :beerchug:

Bought these after realizing they had a detachable cable lol

Just bought a pair of SHP9500's and need to replace the cable it comes with can anyone give me any recommendations? Not really looking to spend a fortune on a cable since it will just be plugged into a 2i2 for Streaming/Skype/Discord etc lol Thank you for the help

I have no headphones that could fit or hold an adapter only ones i did have were XPT100's but they broke a while back

I would love the shp9500 since Newegg has them for $52 right now until Monday but they're only 3.5mm :/

Monitoring for streaming/Skype stuff like that Only other headphones I have are Astro a40s and some Klipsch in ears lol

just bought an at2035 and a Scarlett 2i2 Thing is I don't own any headphones that have a 1/4" plug or adapter threads on them lol I have no idea what is good or not for sound staging or mids and that stuff. I'm a complete noob My budget is about $150, $200 absolute max, and they must be full...

I've heard really good things about the HM5's and the NPT100's or whatever that clone is called from NVX   I just wanna make sure I'm getting something that good vocals, and medium bass for the double pedals and riffs and such   Is there any other recommendations you could throw at me for...

Can't go that high for k545s :/ How well are the Brainwavz HM5s? Throwing those into the mix too

I listen to 90% metal and metalcore/hardcore with some mellow stuff with a lot of double pedals and fast riffs and such and the occasional techno or whatever I'm looking for a closed back over ear setup that I can just plug and go with my 6s Plus and Spotify for when I travel on planes and such...

so for someone completely new into this hobby, the 1st gen will do just fine for the DT 990s?   Only thing is ordering the 1st gen on Schiit is you cant return it.
