While good, i'd say really good, not endgame :D. Tho that is subjective.

Move aside Beats, new king of bottom is here.

Sennheiser OG owns Neumann so the new NDH30 is from them

Same. My cat used to love the Polo Ralph Lauren headsets but the fit can be kinda tight.

I’m glad I’m not the only one

Hardware dependent for sure. I have a decent x570 mobo and there's no noticeable difference in noise/clarity compared to my DAC and amp, but not all motherboards are equal in terms of shielding.

I can't really listen to the HD700 stock for long

But.. with mods or EQ it is one of the best bang-for-buck in audio,

they go for so cheap in the second-hand market because a lot of people don't bother tinkering with it

Thanks to this forum I've recently bought some Hifiman Ananda which I'm loving, and now I've been considering some IEMs around this kind of price.

Which i plan on using when not at home, but I'm completely lost what to buy as there's so many options. These two are on my list so I've got a couple queries:

Which of these would you consider has better sound isolation as I would plan on using them commuting?

Are they easy to drive or would they need a reasonable DAC/ AMP? If so any portable recommendations?

Cheers

Sausage!

They've existed for years. Bose QC20 has been around since 2015.

Yeah i bought one for my cat as well. It was complaining abt the how low fidelity the krakens were

tell me you just watched a LTT video without telling me you watched a LTT video

Yeah I would agree with what other commenters have said on comfort, that's one if not the biggest reason I was looking for a change from the Dusk. its really lightweight and I changed the stock cable to an even lighter one so it feels great. I wear them about 7 hours a day at work.

somebody watched the linus tech tips video

sir, may I introduce these if you haven.t tried them (if you have and they didn't fix the issue you possibly have the worlds slipperiest lug holes!)

They are almost impossible to remove from your ear once in!!!

Yep! They are so comfortable. Because even I thought they will be bulky, but with them I can sleep sideways!

And obviously dont use the stock tip, use the white straight tips for the best sound.

It's probably a 10mm Omnidirectional electret microphone capsule that got mistranslated as speaker. You also sometimes see cheap headsets with cardioid microphones erroneously listed as "noise-cancelling" for a similar reason.

I am intrigued

What other amps have you tried in the past? I have the Empyreans and have toyed with the idea of getting a Burson amp to replace my Topping stack, but knowing I don't even need a fraction of the power they put out has stopped me from dropping the cash.

If you've had other amps, how do they compare for the Elites?

Edit: autocorrected Burson to Nursing.

Especially the hd600, i prefer it over the 2 others

Famous last words. :)

But the entire HD 600 series is comprised of damn fine headphones. Enjoy.
