I like the USB mode and the microphone as well, and you can also use it as a Bluetooth receiver in the car or with normal powered speakers. If you only just want to listen to your phone, then a dongle is a much cheaper option.

I see your 1.5k ohms and present my 10k ohm headphones

Marking this one Solved!.

Ten points to house dstarr.

how is the bass ?

Awesome! I just did the same, except with S12 Pros. I find an EQ helps this a lot. I'm still trying out various tips. The 2 pin UTWS5 fits the s12 well, but I find I have to keep adjusting the UTWS5 once on my ear for a few seconds, before I get it right, comfort wise.

Coming from a Blessing 2 (which I'm still using, but wired), this is still a good enough combo for wireless use, around the home and while commuting.

I just picked these up today. They seems fast and accurate with good detail.

To my ears, the mids are all too pronounced. The bright treble is bright, but survivable - but with the mids pushed as they are, the combination is, as you put it "a bit shouty"

i like them, but they are a bit clinical - the bass pacey and accurate, but under represented in the overall sound - they dont quite hit hard enough down stairs.

would be interested in your other budget ideas. I'm a BLON guy - but looking for slightly better build and fit.

Hockey tape and maybe cut up an old credit card for a splint.

I thought it was some kind of virginity lock at first…

Yes, his work is impressive.

Now go listen to live music and stuff like Eric Clapton MTV unplugged. Or classical. Stuff with instruments that come out. Simply amazing. I'm in Sennheiser 600s for like 15 yrs

Yeah I have issues like that as well, maybe drivers are crashing and i have to unplug it and plug it back in a few times and then it usually works. Or sometimes when I'm switching between BT and USB the sound starts stuttering a bit and I have to restart it. But for the most part it works fine.

Wow, that’s end game territory in one purchase! Nice!

Welcome!

I have a few of some would call “Summit Fi” and most of them are Open Backs and still some closed backs and IEM’s sound very good as well but would still go with a open back myself.

I’m waiting for the Tangzu Zetien Wu x HBB Heyday edition to be delivered. This could be a really good one, hope I don’t have to send them back.

Knew what it was before I clicked, simply the best restoration channel on YouTube.

Is that not the normal price? I paid $110 in early 2021. Really cool device, I use it daily.

The exactly same here, probably next week i'll get mine and i'm very excited!

I bough an hard case for my old Momentum 3, and I still use it for my Bathys.

I think you can look at all the graphs you want but I do not think they will tell how they sound by the graph. What I mean is Grado sound like Grado’s and Sennheiser sounds like a Sennheiser’s and not sure a graph can tell you which other than knowing the the headphone specific response could you tell I don’t think it accounts for tone.

I mean if the limiting factor for your enjoyment is how quiet the room is, technically speaking, even non-"summit-fi" options will also sound better in this hypothetical room, too.

So the poll should include moving out and living on your own. ;)

It really depends on what I’m doin! If I’m at my computer or something I’ll just keep them on. I’ve gotten used to the lack of sound over the years. It was really jarring the first time I used Active Noise cancelling so the passive of closed backs really worked for me whenever I needed quick isolation.

Thanks very much!

In case you use closed-end headphones: Do you typically take them off while not listening to anything? Or does that silence not bother you at all?

In terms of gaming, I prefer Ksc75 with a headband for ultimate comfort but I just also bought a Kph30i clear with the same g pads mod and couldn't be happier!!
