Might do an upgrade soon. Which would you say is the weakest link in my set-up?

Fair enough!

I am debating between buying these exact 2 headphones, so I really appreciate your write up.

Whenever you have the free time, would you be willing to compare 1 more song between the two of them?

“Albatross” by Big Wreck. I briefly owned the Edition XS and the acoustic guitars in this song would tickle my ear drums and I really enjoyed that sensation (especially after 0:30). I imagine the Arya Stealth would also have a similar presentation, but I am wondering if the 109 will still have the tickling sensation. Any other thoughts between the two headphones on this song?

Thanks in advance if you take the time to do this!

I watched a video on the V2 vs V3 from the headphone show and the guy said at one stage that the V2 has more slam/impact and then later said the V3 has better slam/impact! That left me a bit confused. The frequency response graphs for both are very similar. I must watch a few more videos, but being that this used pair is half the price of a new pair of V3s, I'd say will get over it if it's a tiny bit different.

How are the s12 pro? I have been thinking about buying them but also considering the aful performer 5.

Get some memory foam tips for them. Much more comfortable (for me at least) and makes a better seal.

bro :c this case should be the lesson for u: DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING TO YOUR MOTHER. i really think thats the saddest moment of audiophile - to lost his audiothings ::::::::::(((((((((((

Don't forget your family

Minimum phase system in the general frequencies that a human ear can hear. And the differences between the response time will also be noticed in the frequencies, and the EQ will change that too.

I maybe got lucky they shipped mine soon!

Pardon the pun but the Clear just sounds a lot more clear! Comparing open back to closed it's probably not that much of a surprise. They just reveal more than the Elegia.

K371 will be my first closed-back headphones, at least that's my plan.

Why did you give it to your mom?

It‘s like showering, you need to turn up the heat every once in a while to make it enjoyable😂 With headphones or earbuds, I recommend starting to listen at a lower volume because whenever you turn up the volume slightly, the sound quality appears to be „good“ again because you just get used to how your headphones sound. Just make sure to stop at some point, you don‘t want to ruin your ears… At least that’s how it is for me sometimes. Or just have a small break and let your ears readjust

Thanks for the explanation, I should’ve checked before telling it was fine. Sorry

Glad I'm not the only one who carries spare filters for the blessing. I'll never understand why it happens but the they just keep coming off every couple weeks of daily use.

:(

Wait, I've always heard the Arya V2 has weaker bass than the V3. Might be worth looking into if you'll want the same slam as before.

All of the headphone prices there are really low. They’re far lower than anything I see here in Canada.

He's also using them, pushing electricity through. From what I understand, voice coils will inevitably convert some of that energy to heat (not to mention mechanical energy), though correct me if I'm wrong.

Its still sold if I am not wrong.

Thank God I live in Sydney, guess I know where I'm going tomorrow
