I would use an actual preset from oratory rather than automatically generated one - https://www.reddit.com/r/oratory1990/wiki/index/list_of_presets

The regular harms of listening at high volumes apply but from a cursory search there is no harm from infrasound(lower than hearing range, the rumbling advertised) is harmful at low decibel ranges.

My FiiO KA3 usb dac tends to not play the beginning of audio after silence. Very obvious when using windows's test sound when choosing a format. It sometimes fails to play short sound effects or music at all after silence. I have access to the FiiO Control App to change settings. I've tried disabling the hardware mute switch and dynamic power policy, still at the default low impedance and high gain. What else should I try?
EDIT: It's very similar to this but the dac doesn't talk to the PC app https://www.reddit.com/r/FiiO/comments/q9d2wr/k3_sound_fade_in_after_silence/
Exactly this issue, where the only idea is to return the device https://www.reddit.com/r/FiiO/comments/ygg2y0/fiio_ka3_questionswindows/
My B550 motherboard is updated to the latest bios from August 2022.

The hd25 is extremely loud, its for DJs and engineers to hear audio in very loud places. You choose poorly and appear to be on a mission to deafen yourself. Also, where are you in the world where the hd25 costs a "small fortune" and you paid far less for Bowers & Wilkins headphones?

I tried these at Canjam NYC today. One of the first things I went for since I was surprised to see them. They are probably the most open-sounding closed backs I’ve ever heard. They have a good amount of bass while maintaining the hifiman egg sound. They are very comfy, but don’t feel $2000. They kind of hurt when I turned the music volume semi-loud. Highs were getting too much. But it was also super loud in the venue and I had them on for 10 minutes. Happy to answer any questions but just know I’m not the most reliable person to answer with authority.

Lost a pair of Fiio FH5s in about 6 months. Left em in a classroom in college. Then COVID happened the week after and I couldn't go back to find them.

Never, I've been using them for many years. I suggest getting into the habit of putting them in a case as soon as you've finished listening, a cheap plastic food container is fine. Don't put them loose in your pocket or a bag, they are only made robust enough to be used for listening to audio while you do nothing that might damage them. I have some that are over eight years old and are used regularly.

Hi there! I am currently using a ATH-R70x with a FiiO K7 using an adapter that converts the 3.5mm to a 6.35mm. I read a few places online that told me that the 4.4 balanced output from the FiiO K7 is more powerful than the 6.35 output. I also think the cable that came with the R70x is extremely long. In your opinion, should I be thinking about picking up a R70x cable outputting to 4.4? Should I pick up just a shorter 3.5 output cable and continue using the 3.5 to 6.35 adapter?

Maybe it’s perfect when you’re on a plane with the none stop ambient noise

My MH751s just broke, and I am now in the market for a new pair of headsets. I really liked the MH751s, and might even get them again, but since it was a while ago since I looked at Headsets. Are there any Headsets that beat the MH751s? I mainly play games where surround sound isn't important, and I would much rather have a nice sound quality and a decent mic. My budget is about 80 - 120$. Any recommendations are welcome!

Mostly their references. They didn't talk about a new driver design, they talk about changes to the voice coil and a few tone changes. So older driver. Then it's the change to a resistance matching the rest of 600 series. It might not be a retune of the exact driver in the rest of the lineup, but it's still f that lineage and therefore most of the dev cost has been long paid for.

Definitely. It's why my setup is solid state and largely clinical (and tbh most of the time I'm using studio monitors).
But if you want warmth rather than analytical you don't mind certain kinds of distortion being added.
