Reply to comment by Djee-f in Multiple headphones - How do you cycle through your collection? by Djee-f
Sadly, I have a lot more headphones than what shows on my flair, and I end up using many of the unlisted ones a lot more frequently, overall. Even as I type this now, I'm listening to an HD600 through the aforementioned tube amp.
But between those two though, I do prefer the Utopia more than the HD800. The punchiness and dynamism of the Utopia is more appealing to me (at least, right now) over the larger sensation of a headstage from the HD800, but there are times when those urges do flair up.
I guess it's a long drawn out way of saying I'm a giant pain in the ass, and need the freedom of change always at a moments notice. :P

At the moment it's my new Denon AD-H7200 most of the time at home.
When out and about it's my Open-heart Resin iems at the moment after getting my new balanced cable for them.
The Sony MDR-1a get out, when it's Metallica time and will get out a lot more, when their balanced cable arrives later next month.
When I like something different and have time for my tubes or wanna game, it's Grado SR60 most of the time.
The V-Moda M100 are my nostalgic pair and get out least often now adays but sometimes when I'm in a dark jazz mood, they are unmatched still.
My Bluetooth cans (Sony WF 1000XM3 and B&W PX) are mostly used for gracery shopping and have been my work headphones before getting my external mic shortly before Christmas.

I was mostly talking about the looks, at least from the picture they look very cheaply made! However given the other replies on my post they are not cheap/they work as intended. I hope one day I would be able to afford a pair so I can eat my words lol

Soundcore is a good budget offering... A little EQ tampering and you have a really decent ANC competitor on your hands

Reply to comment by shadowpapi9890 in 2 pairs of defective HD560s. Suggestions? by Customer-Artistic
Definitely! As many online online say, this is probably one of the best entry-level audiophile headphone you can find on the market, it's quality/price ratio is definitely golden otherwise I guess one need to get over the 300€ threshold to get something better. Depending on your taste you may feel lacking of low-bass (as you know caused by the open back design) but nothing one can't improve with some EQ, as for me I'm still enjoying the default sound without EQ. In my opinion, sounds seems to be very defined and clear (I listen to basically any genre). I can say they surely are a worthy pair of headphones. Didn't tested for gaming yet but they should be very good there too.

Say thanks I guess? Or maybe its equivalent in your language? That brand isn't actually bad a friend of mine been rocking a headset of the same brand for the last 3 4 years and it's been serving him well

Reply to comment by fijosh in Is the Fiio BTR7 using AptX Bluetooth? And will I hear sound degradation compared to wired? And will Quedelix release a newer model soon? by ostuniman
just to confirm, will the sound be noticeably less quality than my wired? I'm so use to great sound.

It's the other way around - iPhones (and pretty much any other Apple devices) do not support any aptX codec variants or LDAC. Only SBC and AAC codecs are supported.
If you're looking for a BT audio DAC/AMP to use with your iPhone, don't bother chasing aptX/LDAC support.

Reply to Altering planar Magnets? by ShepherdessAnne
I have no idea about headphones, but I recall a buddy of mine messing with the magnets in his guitar pickups and it caused some serious issues for him. Signal cutouts galore, and the biggest kicker was that, somehow, some magnets were demagnetized by the other magnets.

Harman is a bit V-shaped. Some will say it’s well balanced, but it’s definitely a bit V-shaped. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing though.

I like that. Do you find yourself using more hours on the Utopia or the HD800?

Most days, it starts off with what is nearby, but throughout the course of the day, as the playlist rolls on, curiosity could strike in wondering "how this song sounds on 'XYZ' pair". Other times, I just stick with whatever is on my head.
Lately, with the frigid cold weather in the Northeast these past few weeks, it has been a bit fortuitous to have a hot running Class A tube amp warm up the room, so that has also contributed to enjoying the high impedance Sennheisers more often, as well.
So really, there is no consistent rhyme or reason - just what is appealing for the moment.

I feel like mine sound abit too deep and bassy through the amp but it may just be down to the source from amazon music. Amazon definitely sounds better than tidal on them though I think as tidal seems even deeper and flatter. Perhaps I should give them a go straight into phone and see how they sound then. I prefer abit more treble so probably suit me better lol

Yup we basic AF! Doesn’t make the setup not advanced in comparison to other setups or not worth while though!
