I think it may still cause some stretching but I do not have mine on me atm and can't verify, sorry

I plugged the light power source into a smart switch and have Alexa turning them on

These look great. I have some somewhat similar display frames (I went with hexagonal), but I didn't put lights in them as they are a little high, and I didn't see a good way to turn them on and off.

I’ve only used it on PC. Dolby Atmos for Headphones is absolutely fantastic when watching either the Netflix or Prime Video app (use apps not the browser which only supports stereo).
It takes the multichannel signal and renders it into a binaural spatial audio track for your headphones.
Spatial audio is critical if you truly want to get imaging and soundstage that approximates what the audio was engineered for.
Consider that most music and audio is engineered for speaker listening where each of your ears hears a blend of both stereo channels as well as room reflections.
That said, at least on PC Dolby Atmos didn’t seem to be as effective on stereo music as say something like Waves NX. Not sure if on mobile they may have different settings that makes it better for stereo listening

Probably the adapter. Idk but they sound amazing for the price and I own lcd-x hd660s and 650 And I can’t believe this sound so good. They do need a good dac amp to really shine tho. But damn is the clarity good on these. Really special ones.

Now... there's an idea.

Sorry I meant the metal of the headband. I hung my LCD-X on a similar stand and believe there was no stretching because the leather wasn't supporting the weight when the headphones are able to fully close, like shown here.

Every question on Reddit can be googled, I asked because every article I read and both those links you gave just describe how it works on surround sound speakers, I'm specifically asking how this surround sound effect is achieved in headphones. I understand it's a "3d audio landscape" but how can you achieve 3d audio on headphones?

They stick out about 23 cm

Do these stick out from the wall, go into the wall, or a little of both? Hard to tell from the angle, but I imagine that was part of the point.

That is what you want to avoid since the leather will be stretching out bit by bit overtime

Unfortunately I don't have one off hand and am unable to get a pic anytime soon. Basically, with the hanger part, go between the leather and metal band so that the band rests directly on the hanger or whatever you use and the leather strap is underneath it. When the leather goes underneath, there shouldn't be any tension on it

>I had the closed and open and they are not that different.
I'm noticing this as well. The opens barely have more sound stage than the closed. The closed has better overall sound quality imo. Force some reason the mids on the open sound muddy. I even lowered the bass 2 to 3 dB using an EQ and they just don't sound good. The Closed are definitely the better option.

It's ok but not outstanding on my galaxy s22 ultra , I guess if you can play it on a better sound system you can have a little more fun but it's not a game changer considering there's not much DS recorded music you can play , I can only see some on Tidal

The 4 holes in front are the same size and the other 7 holes in the back vary in size depending on how many cables are routed thru them 😀

I only display 4 most expensive ones I have. The rest are being hung on desk or in storage. I actually put socket adapters for both my Audeze and Senny to convert them to dual 3.5mm so I can use the same cable for every headphones

Well I got the H6Pro opens yesterday and even swapped out the closed back pads to the open headset and the audio is bad. Just bad. The closed backs sound decent but the open back headset is just ugh. I don't know how to explain it but the mids are not clear and kind of muddy sounding. The bass and treble are ok. I can't tell the difference in sound stage between the closed and open backs and the directionality of audio cues in games are the same. The closed backs sound soooooo much better imo.
The PC38X headset is starting to feel more comfortable but it still has more clamping force than I'd like. Currently have it stretched out and sitting on my desk to hopefully alleviate some of that.
I'm starting to get irritated at how difficult it is for me to find a freaking headphone or headset that I like.

Sounds like a fit issue as they're in ears and the app kind of confirms it since it keeps on telling you to try again with the calibration.
