I got the following headphones: - Apple AirPods Max - Sony WH1000XM5 - Sony WH1000XM3 - Bose NC700 - Apple AirPods Pro 2 - Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 But none of these headphones make me deaf. I can still hear my surrounding without music playing. Any recommendation on what to buy in...

I'm probably imagining things, but do bluetooth headphones depend on what smartphone you uses it from? Because for some weird reason, the Apple AirPods 2 and Apple AirPods Max sound better on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, than it does on my super old iPhone? It's very weird.

I'm currently using the following for exercising (which are IEM's): - Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 - Apple AirPods Pro 2 However IEM's irritate my ears if I use them too much, so I'm now looking for a full-sized headphone. I'm currently using the Sony WH-1000XM3 (which I got for only...

The amount of Focal Utopia threads is too damn high.

I never really liked the comfort of the Apple AirPods Max, so I am thinking of buying the B&O H95 instead. However, some people on an other forum said that the H95 sounds barely any better than the Sony WH-1000X4. If this true, then I might instead replace the Apple AirPods Max with the Sony...

Seems Sennheiser is open to sell a few of their business and only wants to focus Pro Audio, Neumann and Business Communication. Now if you think that headphones like the Sennheiser HD 600, HD 650 and HD 800S fall under "Pro Audio", according to the website they do not. They are classified...

$108.000 Airpods Max. Why is it so expensive? Because it sounds so good!

Can't they also include Airplay 2 and UPnP/DLNA on top of bluetooth for even better sound quality?

After having a few near accidents with my Bose QC 35 II, I decided to use an open headphone for outside use. That is how I end up using the Focal Clear for portable use. I'm just too scared that something happens with the Utopia. Quite suprisingly, the Focal Clear doesn't leak that much if the...

Anyone using open headphones for portable use? I personally find closed headphones like the Bose QC35 II too dangerous outside to be honest. For a plane it is nice ofcourse.

My iPhone X and iPad Pro 12.9 sound the same with Wireless headphones. But my older iPhone 6S plus sound significantly worse. How is this possible? :p Is it maybe due to bad isolation of the electronics which bleeds into the signal perhaps?

Since I fly every week, I'm considering buying ANC headphones. I listened to some before in the past, but I was never allowed to test them out in a plane. So how good are ANC headphones for use in an airplane? ( I see alot of people using Bose headphone so they must be doing something right I...

I have an expensive cable on loan. But that cable adds too much colour. But I do like the wide soundstage and details that the expensive cable brings.    What is a good neutral RCA cable? (no colour must be added). 

The HD800 doesn't play so nicely with badly recorded music like Metal. What would be a good alternative headphone? The HD650 or the HD600?

I'm curious what the distribution looks like regarding the filters being used with the Shure SE846, hence this poll. Multiple answers can be selected if you tend to swap periodically between filters.

There are posts about the brightness of the HD800 and some even buy expensive gear to reduce the brightness. Yet there is almost no complaints about the mid-bass bump. I think there is nobody that buys expensive gear to reduce the mid-bass of the HD800. So would that mean that audiophiles are...

Red = Denon AH-D7100 Blue = Shure SE846   Based on these graph it would appear the Shure SE846 with the blue filter has a similar sound signature with respect to the full-sized Denon headphone with the Denon sounding more neutral. Based on my ears, it's actually quite the oppositie, the Shure...

Would be wise to buy the Sennheiser HD800 given that's very old. Sennheiser is probably working on a new flagship headphone during the last few years which might come out soon?

I'm looking to buy the HD800 or the AKG K812 next week probably.    AKG K812: - has higher %TDH than some $200 headphones - has treble issues which mid-fi headphones don't even have + works with my current DAC + AMP according to the thread in summit-fi HD800: - amplifier requirements...

How much better does the AK240 sound relative to the iPhone 5S?   I'm currently using the iPhone 5S with the Shure SE846. If there is a big enough difference in sound quality, I might consider buying the AK240. 

How are the Shure SE846 as an end-game audio device? Or do I need an AKG K812, LCD-3 or HD-800?

According to some posts, the B&W p7 sounds better than the Shure SE 535? So how well does the Shure SE846 do against closed headphone that are considered portable such as the B&W P7?

How do the Apogee sound cards such as the Duet and One sound like in comparison to dedicated DAC's? I got an Apogee One (iOS version) and it sounds impressive according to my ears.

One of the biggest disadvantage of BA drivers vs Dynamic drivers is that Dynamic drivers require an air vent in order to sound good. Doesn't this make closed headphones with a dynamic driver perform poorly in comparison to open headphones and headphones with BA drivers? (to me it makes no sense...

I'm currently using the Shure SE535 with the black Olive tip. The medium black olive tip now fits my ear perfectly while it was a little too big at first.    Can tips make your earholes bigger?
