Reply to Ears with different canal sizes by SlavJerry
It might be that your left ear canal has a weird shape, I think that’s my problem. How I fixed it is by getting triple flange ear tips from Amazon. They are super cheap and work very well. If you use the wireless ones that go in a case this won’t work though

Reply to comment by AnotherSpecificDuck in The Apple Earpods sound better than me to the Sennheiser HD560s by mechaskeleton
I'm thinking of trying DT770s, is that a good idea if I didn't like the HD560s?

I suggest contacting the Fiio support.

Reply to comment by AetherLionn in Amp/DAC with HD6xx's by AetherLionn
K7 has a lot more power and more modern/better DAC as well. You'd have enough power with the K7 for 99% of headphones you might get in the future as well, it has 10-20x the power of the E10K.
I'd pass on the E10K, if you are looking at the E10K may as well just get a dongle like the Truthear Shio which is much more compact and portable and has both a better DAC and higher power (balanced) for the HD6XX- 4V vs 2.6V.

Almost all DACs and amps in this price range are almost perfectly transparent to the source. You don't really have to worry about optimising or synergy. A K5 Pro would do the job quite well. I like the JDS Atom stuff, but it will be more expensive due to import charges.
Also, I'd go for the HD600 if given a choice. It's very similar but has a tiny bit more treble clarity.

Reply to Ears with different canal sizes by SlavJerry
I have the same problem. Eventually I chose tips that seal perfectly yet only sit at the entrance of the canal. Worked for me. Alternatively you can get customs, custom IEMs or just custom ear tip molds (those exist and aren't expensive).

I believe EQ doesn't work with tidal

No, i don't know the seller, I was surfing for a hd650/6xx and found that offer and thought it was interesting, but don't know much about the amp/dac combo.
Do you know of a good amp/dac paring for this headset?

Reply to comment by CPOx in Upgraded to Hifiman HE1000 from Arya Stealth by Exciting-Mine-4300
Yeah you are right about that, but even so some people said that vocals sounded amazing and that the sound had nothing offensive, so I thought with some EQ I would be able to fix it but it clearly wasn't the case, just the overall presentation of the headphone is a bit too clean/dull at times.

As I understand it, the stickers is pretty much what makes the 8xx different to the 800s. So the 800s preset should be closer without the stickers.
Would be cool to actually see a measurement of them without the stickers.

Well they do have a track record of shamelessly (and I mean that in the truest sense of the word) ripping off old designs… “neither an homage nor a collaboration… the patents are expired”

from my experience, manually do the autoeq on the websites like crinacle graph tool or squig link is much better and more convenience because you know how would the eq would sounds like

Balanced amps aren't inherently better than single-ended ones, but if a device has both, you should try to use the balanced one.

I'd look at the Etymotic ER2XR. They are more or less industrial earplugs.

Sounds like you've hit the limit of the Fulla. I bet it's going into protection mode. The Aeon is a power-hungry headphone and the Fulla isn't particularly powerful.

Yeah, kinda. I'm not a fan of the Zen series for a few reasons, but they aren't bad. Do you know the seller?
You could get an HD650/600 for 200 euros, and I don't think the Zen stuff is worth 350 unless you really want the fixed EQ presets. If you'll be listening from a PC then you can do the same adjustments for free.

Did you use the preset for the HD800s or the 8xx?
