I use the Elite Hybrid. I removed the acoustically-transparent fabric inside the Dekonis, with a razor blade, and kept the stock driver covers inside the cups. The pads look incredible (way, way better than stock IMO) and my big dumb ears never touch anything inside the headphones. Also, they are SO luxuriously soft and comfortable, compared to stock, it's not even close. I didn't notice any sound change with the pad swap (if there is a difference, it is too subtle for me to notice). Cheers.

I’m returning them and doing the same I’m so sad the sound is so good

Depends on how you play the game. A 'nyan!' inserted with surgical precision can bring anyone to their knees.

I’m returning for a refund today with the amount of similar issues I’ve seen people have it’s insane how poor the build is. Sound is out of this world though

I think I have read about quality issues on them also. Just bought airpod pro 2’s as I have no wish to deal with issues

MOMENTUM True Wireless 3? I've read they have quality issues... Guy I know had to RMA them already, since one bud stopped charging. I have them for a few months without any issues so far.

Sennheiser

What brand?

MFW when i tried Meze Liric.

Which variant do you recommend the most? if I don’t want to change the sound signature

Used HD800 is the play. You can find near mint examples for about $600. They also have lower bass distortion which helps with the inevitable eq boost.

I HIGHLY recommend that you get some Dekoni pads, cut out the acoustically-transparent fabric, and your ears wont touch anything.

bro, on a side note, you genuinely look like the coolest person in a bar lmao.

What a deal.

A Carhartt wearing begger... for fucks sake.

Some people would definitely pay to see some headphone "porn". Go to a store to admire some and livestream and bam money

I love my HD 800S. It’s the same quality step-up from the HD 600 that the HD 58x to the HD 600 was. Personally like the tonality of the HD 600 the most for music, but the HD 800S is a great listen occasionally. I primary use them for gaming, and it’s such an immersive experience. Hard to justify the cost though, but I did only pay $900 for mine.

there was a discount on some site, that i forgot which, that was selling them for 1100 dollars

I demo with eq btw.

I can loan you some cash at a loan shark rate haha.

Hope you’re able to scoop one up soon. They regularly go on sale.

I think your beard is nice and the piercing might endear you to a well paying niche! You never know till you try!

Jokes aside, I saved up $1400 by not drinking for a year and I recommend it. Keeping money aside that would have otherwise been wasted let's me guilt free splurge on things like this.

You'll have them one day.

Here I am having to angle my hd800s to avoid my ears from touching the pads 🥲. I must have massive ears.

You can trade soundstage for bass via EQ.

Apple dongle is all you need according to Crinacle, but he listens at like 60dB
