Isn't the Atmos a purchase on top of buying a DAC with optical out? The LyxPro sounds great, was just saying how the HRM6 and Yenona don't sound close to as good which I found a bit odd

Yeah, it is a purchase but you can try it for 30 days, no credit card required, so no problem about forgetting to cancel it

Yeah already did that a few months ago. Didn't notice a difference honestly. Maybe because the games I play lol.

Windows Sonic for headphones is the stock setting. I will try stereo uncompressed tomorrow but IIRC I prefer the Sonic setting, at least with the LyxPro

I'm not sure what you mean, KZ have made headphones before. I've even got a pair somewhere......

Kz lp2 was a very well built v-moda copy. I've never owned v-moda so I don't know how close to v-moda it is but I wouldn't Be surprised if it is 100% identical. It Even had same (identical looking) driver. That driver is quite common. Unfortunately lp2 soundwise was not good enough for me so I gifted those to a friend.

Lp2 cost less than $40 so it wasn't bad value for money. Decent sound, Perfect build quality, hard case and two cables. Unfortunately it is hard to find these days. Propably discontinued.

hey guys need some help/advice..

for people out there who owns isk hf2010 or takstar hi2050 does pleather pads or hybrid velour goes well with it? coz its really disturbs me how the stock velour pads changes the sound, i tried removing the pads, replaced it with some thin socks, and the sound is noticeably better, the driver itself is very capable and it sounded great listening to it with no stock velour pads, but lacks sounstage, sound depth, and it basically hurts, those stock velours alters the sound so much it causes sibilance, recessed midrange and harsh highs.

If pleather pads work for you, you should never need anyone else's opinion to prove you otherwise.

I have been having a slightly different problem with my Superlux HD681. The stock pleather pad is not comfortable because it is thin and hard, but sounds better than the two aftermarket pads I have tried on it. The hybrid Senitek cloth/perforated protein leather thinned the sound out way too much, unless I pushed them against my head to about the same distance as the stock pads were. The mids came back, but the bass was still lacking. Next i ordered "Replacement Ear Pads for LyxPro HAS-30" which are all pleather and not perforated. They are also not quite as thick as the Seniteks, although still thicker than the stock pads. The midrange came back a bit and bass came back a bit, but they still don't sound as good as the stock pads.

My advice to you is to try and find a pleather pad of the same shape and thickness as the stock velour pad. That will keep the earphone drivers at the distance they were designed to be, but seal around your ear better.

Be careful, pad rolling is a slippery slope for Chi-Fi phones. I'm about to invest more in pads than what I paid for the Superlux...

welp from what i know the superlux drivers itself is harsh in treble and the pad mods eliminates some of it, the isk is on the opposite, listening to it without pads and slap it straight to my ears it sounded very mellow with plenty of details (eliminated soundstage tho) so im really flabbergasted when this stock pads they come in them totally make them sound like v-shape with sibilance. I really do hope those pleather pads i ordered will fix them.

For $50 you can get the Meizu HD50. It sounds good, has a removable cable, is ultra comfortable, and is built like a tank because it’s all aluminum. Perfect for kids.

Hoco W2 isn’t bad either. It runs about $15, is plastic but made well, folds up, is comfy, and has a removable cable as well.

Finally, Koss Portapro is $40, is a legendary classic, are extremely lightweight, comfortable, and excellent sound.

Thanks for the suggestions
