    Lying down wearing headphones - does the sound quality change?

    Better late than never :) I have this with iems too. Less bass. I know it's not the seal, but I will keep testing and listening. Nothing like getting up at 0100 to get foam plugs! Of couse after googling headfi less bass laying down. At least I'm not completely dumb. Or am I? I hate this...

    FiiO Hybrid IEMs Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Been listening for a combined 20h now. Pretty darn good! Does have a slightly metallic tinge to the sound in the upper mids, lower highs, not sure if it's the aluminum or the BAs or a peak. Bass is quite beautiful, mids are nice, highs non-fatiguing. Overall pretty exact headphones that are...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Not there yet in 2020. Just go some FH3s and compared them to Technics (barely ok), Senn True MKII (ok), BO H5 (meh, treble monster). While the FH3 still has that metallic tinge it simply MURDERS the BT ones in all points.

    Xonar Essense stx Random LOUD high pitched Ringing Noise?

    Ordered a HEL for work yesterday ;) Can't agree the SQ sucks. Differences in DACs these days are <3% at the most anyhow. YMMV

    Xonar Essense stx Random LOUD high pitched Ringing Noise?

    Screech of death after years again and my ears are are still ringing. Tidal, switching tracks. I've had it switching from 41 to 48 in the Asus gui, I've haven't tried the above windows settings 16bit. We should really sue ASUS for bodily harm.

    How to change Beyerdynamic (and others) earpads in under 30 seconds flat

    Hey dudes and dudettes, haven't been here in a minute. Was changing earpads and for some reason decided to yt how to vids. I see people using a full on hairdryer setup and what not. I've been using a technique for years and they go on in under 30 seconds flat like so:

    What is "detail"?

    Toeing in and a Monitor in Between

    You really only need to toe in if you speaker beams at certain frequencies, like a 12" woofer cut at 1500Hz in a big two way :) Remove those boards from above the speakers. You built a speaker in a, well, speaker enclosure :) Then, move them forward and backwards from the wall until the bass...

    What is "detail"?

    Detail is what people say when they hear "Jazz at the pawn shop". I have never listened to it I was there and gave the recording guy some pointers. :)

    Trying to figure something out.

    OP: It's your personal DSP between your shoulders that is doing it. /thread

    Reproduction of timbre

    Thing is, they have so much variance in the production of their drivers, the have a hard time selecting even two that sound "close enough". :)

    True

    It's so cool when a company like Beyerdynamic employs you, then you get to work on marketing, then you suggest they all go back to meaningful specs like 40-19000Hz +-2dB (Harmann) for instance. "Do that again and you are fired." Even Beyerdynamic has gone down that path of BS. Even have some...

    "Diminishing Returns" and the Price-to-Performance Ratio of High-End Gear

    Reality is, that anything above 200 bucks (2 channel dac/amp AND headphone) is getting ... into that territory. When a gap in perceived supply exists, products (high priced) will fill that void. The last 50 years have done "nothing" for speaker design. Computers have accelerated production...

    Headphone Cables

    The only way to do cable sound correctly is to bypass lossy connectors completely. You MUST solder everything together. There is no other way.

    Annoying "ringing" sound in classical music piano recordings

    Can't hear it, but the Grieg: is recorded in a way that my tinnitus fades in and out. It certainly hits some weird modes in my room and in my ear. A sort of tremelo that shouldn't be there making it sound ringy or muddy?

    Anyone use Dolby Atmos with headphones?

    That looks like it would sound like a$$. :) Try moving the entire curve down, so the bass and the treble sits a 0dB. Cut to make it sound better Boost to make it sound different.

    Anyone use Dolby Atmos with headphones?

    I like hearing what is on the track. I don't like ANY fancy DSP that I am not in complete control over. Another example is the hall effects you can setup. WHY?????? :) So I would never use the Atmos feature. Of course I tried it. Sound like any variant of this "exiter" stuff that pops up every...
