I don't think it changes the sound.

does it makes change to the sound or just comfort?

Hawara wos fiast auf?

realistically, a modern solid state amplifier will always reproduce sound more faithfully to the original file than a tube amp. people use tube amps because tubes naturally color the sound giving it a more "warm" tone. or that's what audio enjoyers say at least, i've never had the chance to do a blind test in person

But HRTF doesn't know it's needs to add delay (since it doesn't have position info). It just just knows that this sound source has a 50% level on the RT and 10% on the LT. I suppose may be it always assumes to add a delay when this happens?

Might try to listen to it little longer, however, when i first have my XM4 i was blown away. With Aria, its sounds just like the same IEMs i had before, yes some details there but when all instruments are on, some details cant be heard, and that's not the case with XM4, probably its just a preference however i am actually looking for recommendations of IEMs like XM4 sound characteristics.

I could also not have dropped a perfume bottle on it.
I mean, it's a cheapo chinese amp after all.

Did you try voskhod drive tubes? They are really amazing, at least with Hifiman cans.

If you think "bad sound" is why are getting shit on in competitive, you need to get off that copium and git gud :)

Yes the plastic under that foam pad is quite uncomfortable, you can test it without the pad, but i recommend it.

i didn't even know they glowed

Ouch

Yes i agree with the neutral to warm/dark , do you have any other recommendation aside from the Moondrop brands?

Technically and preference, that's true, but i am actually looking for a sound profile

like XM4, no ear fatigue, added usb audio pro on my android and its really good.

This is a purely subjective question, only you will know what eq you like most. Pick the one that's closest to your preferences and tweak slightly from there if you'd like.

It's probably to not trap the heat but I agree that the design can be improved.

I know, I got some bass guitar amps with that.

But, can use a mesh or something, this designs are made for be fragile and buy another one.

As others have said, listen to what you like and what you know.

For example, I personally fall back on a lot of classic rock: Jethro Tull's Aqualung album (particularly the song Locomotive Breath), Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Eric Clapton's Slowhand and Fleetwood Mac's Rumours simply because they are generally mastered pretty well, and more importantly I grew up listening to those albums with my Dad. All of those Albums I've listened to probably hundreds of times, and I know each song back and front. So when testing headphones I use those albums because I will pick up on any intricacies that the set up might reveal.

Most tube amps have cages around it.
But it is not possible to put it inside anything other than metal or maybe some ceramics, because it gets considerably hot !

Sound =//= visual and muscle memory.

But now you have HRTF delay that makes the sounds appear more accurate.
Without HRTF the sound would hit only the left ear but with HRTF the sound hits the right ear with a slight delay and it makes the "range and location finding" faster and more accurate.

Gerald Ratner famously declared his company's jewellery products as "total crap", which prompted a consumer reaction that nearly brought the company to bankruptcy. It's a tough lesson, and perhaps one that Ball Scratcher could do with learning.

i've recently bought this headphone (superlux hd 681) to try out what open back headphones sound like and read a lot of comments about this model having very high trebles. i've been trying out autoeq's in the peace UI to fix that but can't really decide on which one to use. they all sound different but i can't say one sounds better than the other while listening to music

At this point I'm too afraid to ask, but who is HBB? I've seen a lot of his product collabs but don't know who he is
