Great!

Those are not ideal if he plans on running with them as he will hear every thump of his feet. I recommend ear hook style earbuds like the powerbeat pros as they rest on the ear but still provide decent enough isolation.

You want :

1. The cheapest Apple Watch you can buy with your songs downloaded to the watch/ a data plan on the watch with Spotify.
2. Power beats pro or any earbud equivalent with hooks on them so the don’t fall out during work outs.

I use this setup for 2 mile runs and gym workouts and they have never failed me yet.

Many people will wrap them in a yarn covering for both comfort and extending the life of the fabric (which is a good idea because you can't really replace it)

Honestly I use them 2 to 5 hours a day and I don't find any fit issue. My head is average size.

I've walked off my desk a few times with HD-8XX's on cause of how open and big sounding the soundstage was (+ being intoxicated also didn't help)

I did the same with KSC75 with Yaxipad/headband. they are just so light on the head and soft that i sometimes forget i have them on.

Modi dac does not support bt.

No need. People who do actual science, interested in the furthering of knowledge for everyone via transparent academic research, rather than secretive industry insiders preoccupied with lining their pockets and an aversion to sharing data except to a select elitist few with NDAs, have already made their research publicly available. So that's a positive group delay audibility threshold of ~1.5 ms for actual music signals, which few headphones will exceed.

Definitely pricey for what they are. Though, we are in one of many money pit hobbies and it's all relative. Spending $50 on a pair of IEMs and $30 tips seems a bit silly. But if you are spending $1000s on iems and amplification $30 seem like a no brainier.

Yeah, I love my K702 … they even improved in sound and comfort with Yaxi pads and a Beyerdynamic cable (shorter).

We actually just ordered my dad a pair of Sennheiser HD 450BT on sale. There are shortcomings but we'll see how it goes. Also I'm not the one who downvoted you haha.

Oh, indeed I do! But I heard about this effect for speakers first and couldn’t really believe it: usually I can hear where speakers are placed (… not the subwoofer), but there are speakers that acoustically are able to disappear as I read…. Can’t really believe, but had to learn with my earbuds that it’s possible

Sounds like you want some speakers lol

The head band on these is super uncomfortable. I had to move it every so offten to keep things good. I don't think exchanging them will help. The reason you didn't notice this in store is the time your using them is greater at home.

Yea, i only bought a pair because there was a deal with my CC where I could get $20 off of a $20 purchase on amazon. I wouldn’t be able to stomach $30 tips.

Looks like a 60%. Doesn’t looks like a keychron to me, but there’s plenty of 60% on Amazon. If you really want to delve into the rabbit hole, /r/MechanicalKeyboards

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoy it 🙂 also I like it visually with all these lights 😅

BTR5 gang! I love that little glass brick.

Nice! I’m also a Schiit guy too. I currently use a Bifrost 2/64 and Jot2 stack. I also have a Mani 2 for my turntable

DT1990s. I had those for another year before getting the 660s. Then I have had a very fortunate last 16 months that have allowed me to increase my budget for audio. And I’ve reached an endgame with the headphones in my flair. I still have the DT1990s but I have them indefinitely loaned out to a friend.

I first listened to my favorite album of all time on the k702s so it’s always has a place in my heart. A Sailor’s Guide to the Earth by Sturgill Simpson is the album btw

I appreciate you looking out, and I hope this helps someone else if they read.

I guarantee tho, nothing stays in my ears ever.

> Bluetooth only has a range of about 30ft with good line of sight.

Wow, that is a HUGE bummer! I completely didn't know that.

Fuck, I gotta figure out a totally different solution, I guess.

Oh man! I used a Headroom Total Airhead for a decade! It would distort so much at higher volume.

I would simply use Oratory's EQ and tweak the bass shelf to my liking... other than that idk, probably browse Headfi

Great listening setup!! I got the same stack but went with DT 990s. But I'm a fan of the 702s as well.
