I see. So that's the importance of donut foams. Makes sense now that I think about it.- swolar

OHHH BOYYY I tried thicker foams, holy tits what a difference in sound! Much darker. First, I tried the foams of my EB2s since I enjoyed wearing them, and the grip is much better so the mx500 shell sits better in my ear. Then I tried the foams that come with the SBS, the non-black ones. They are...- swolar

Which of the tgxear buds are bassy, if any, past or present? I like the performance of my Serratus black sand, but do wish it had more bass. Wonder if Jim ever made something that fits that need.- swolar

Which model would be best for me if I listen to metal and jazz, and like instrument separation and detail? I heard that Jim does sales on 11.11, so looking forward to it.- swolar

ELI5, how does an amplifier influence sound?
I didn't realize the VE megatron was a DAC/Amp, I thought it was just an amp. I want to try the Audiotechnica R70x, and will probably need an amp to go with them; I plan to get the fiio k7.- swolar

ELI5, how does an amplifier influence sound?
From what I've read or seen on reviews, I get that an amplifier doesn't (and shouldn't) affect the tonal balance of a pair of headphones. But I do read that it affects technicalities like instrument separation, and I hear the term "dynamic" being used a lot. Could you explain what an amplifier...- swolar

AKG K361 vs K612 vs alternatives?
Thanks, they look great. The wings are reminiscent of my AD700 wings, so Im used to the feel of wearing them. But the R70x are much lighter! How is the technical performance and detail?- swolar

Thank's that is very helpful. Your review makes the k612 more appealing to me; if it came with a detachable cable it'd be a no brainer for me. Are they hard to drive?- swolar

AKG K361 vs K612 vs alternatives?
I'm looking for a neutral sound signature with good instrument separation and detail, with the caveat that the headphone also has light weight since I have neck issues with wearing headphones too long. These two are currently the best two I've found on my research, but I'm open to suggestions...- swolar

Thanks, that's a great outline to work with. Shame the magni doesn't come with a 4.4mm input. I'll see if I can find a good amp in the $100~150 price range with a 4.4 input.- swolar
