Endgame

Thx for the tip

It's the low efficiency of the K702 that makes them hard to drive.

I'd get a Fiio KA3. It's under budget new from a store. I think it comes with a lightning cable.

Kinda hard to say because when I got my Sundara, I already had the 1990 Pro & Sennheiser HD660s and I preferred those to the Sundara, so I didn't listen to them much, but when I did I really loved the sound. Honestly, I think if you have a pair of Sundara, HD600 Series or 1990 Pro, more expensive headphones offer little value to you. While I like the LCD X more than the Sundara, I would rather have the Sundara and save the money.

he'll be back soon, saw a comment 18 days ago from him saying how hes doing well and has a lot of videos ready but not quite done yet.

look here, u/Steve1989_MREinfo

I need some advice, I like to play FPS games but have decided that I don't want to use a headset. Is there any way around this? does surround sound work for gaming? is it affordable? any recommendations would be appreciated greatly!

Mmmkay.

I miss him😭

I promise I didn’t. Here to help man. I had to learn too

Try EM beforehand they are very neutral but for me the best under 300. Like Them more than hd660 and 600

Thx it's a fun ride so far

Definition of summit-fi is when the mids are a literal summit

I'll consider the hds on my next level acquisition list

They seem Low Power requirement wise but still planar. I Like Them but Not using EM aß mich cause 560s IS Just top good for me .

Yeah the get better staging with power. I did realize I have never heard drums so clean before that was amazing

Could try harmonicdyne athenas, semi open not expensive punches above its weight.

You're in a loud environment, you're just going to be adding more noise pollution. On top of the fact that you'll still hear everything as well, so much so that the headphones will be rendered useless. It's important to realise that because sound can leave them, it can also enter them.

I found the 560s a bit boring too, doesn’t mean it’s a bad headphone. But you have to get used to a new pair of cans sometimes. And switching between 2 phones all the time does not give your brain enough time to adapt. If you totally can’t stand them, sure return them but I’d try to use only them for a few days and if you still hate them you can return them.

Other than that I really hate how the community hates on V shaped cans sometimes. V shape does not make a set of phones Bad it makes it different like all headphones are.

And bass is like the fat in food, it gives a good and tasty base for everything around. And like in food too much isn’t good and too little isn’t good either. And everyone prefers a different dose of it.

They get alot better aoundwise with Power. They need alot more Power than my 560s. I use EM in an amp. And high gain.

I just returned my LCD-X to get a pair of Arya and I favor the Arya significantly. Great addition to my ZMF Verite Closed and DCA Aeon 2 Noire. The LCD-X even with EQ didn’t sound quite as good as the others to me and yes comfort is also a big thing when you’re focusing partially what’s in your head and partially the music. Weight isn’t awful but definitely not all day headphone like he said above.

Thank you very much, really appreciate your input.

as u/ThatGuyFromSweden said, the Clears are known to have this issue. I would try to send him a screenshot of a reliable source confirming exactly that. some elderly people love listening very loudly. My gf's dad basically blows his earsdrums out to mask his tinnitus when using his HD800. It's absolutely nuts. When I gave him my Hexa to try IEMs he literally maxed out my phones volume. I listen at half volume.

If that person continues to be super annoying I would say go there and simply take them back to spare yourself from the annoyance and sell them to someone else. Clears are popular, I think it's not too difficult to get rid of them and it would make yours and the dude's life much easier I guess.

I wonder low loud op is listening that the sound bleed can be heard by the roommate. I live in a dorm with another guy, separated by 1.5 meters between our beds with no wall between us, apart from 2 monitors I use on the table beside my bed. I asked him if he'd ever heard something from my headphones, he said no, and I tested it myself, I also couldn't hear it. That's why I have the 2nd pair of open back afterwards.

You don't need one and see any benefits when you get a new dac or amp. Instead get new headphones or bluetooth dac amps if you want to use your headphone via bluetooth.

What kind of budget would you have for a amp/DAC?
