Would be my guess, too

You savage

I have recently signed up for trials of Qobuz, Tidal, and Deezer (already using Amazon Music Unlimited). I stream via a Bluesound Node to a Roksan Caspian amp and PMC speakers - so a reasonably high/medium quality setup. Frankly, I can not discern any material difference in quality between the four and do not hear any improvement from hires.

Having researched the subject further, science suggests that the human ear is incapable of hearing hires. Perhaps it's just me and my older ears.

nice! my DT770 will arrive tomorrow and i am quite excited

I own these, short answer: no. They’re a weird “compromise” size, too big for on ear and far too small for over ear. Combined with how they squish, my ears hurt after half an hour. It’s a real shame honestly, cuz for $60 - $80 they sound fantastic and have great battery life.

I was tempted to try at at 80 for a while, but them going to $60 got me to pick these up as well. Sound quality is decent, the worst thing about them is probably the AKG app, it usually doesn't even think they are connected to the phone. Btw, anyone have any EQ recommendations?

Sure, the transducer makes up 95% of listening experience, guess I'm just curious how to get that last drop!

Yeah. Makes sense. Just form personal experience and basic research - your perception of music can change dramatically based on a great number of variables such as your mood, time of day, physical condition, etc etc. our sensory perception is so heavily biased! :) nonetheless, as long as you enjoy the music - it doesn’t matter what’s the source or the emitter! Happy listening.

>AFAIK they’re being discontinued and they’re just trying to get rid of them.

I think this is the case for a number of AKG audio products but they always seem to pop up again back on sale. They must have warehouses of these things just sitting around.

Reviews seem solid though, so for $60 it's probably tough to beat. I have the AKG N400 IEM's and the noise cancelling is unimpressive but I bought them more for sound so they were a great buy @ $48 although a bit bulky.

Yeah I don’t think they ever sold for $350. AKG’s website is the only one showing it as a discount from $350. Walmart and other stores show the discount from $80.

For $80 they're very comparable to similar priced products. For $350 they're a complete ripoff

The statistician has entered the chat. Love the suggestions! 👍

Haven't noticed it with my s21 but with other phone with type c its unbearable, you can clearly listen the phase change. I think the problem is with usb 2.0 devices.

Who is Dave?

Thank you 🙏

That's great news Dave

Thankfully the edges on the stand aren't sharp enough to do that and they don't dig into the headband at all, but I get having that impression by looking at the picture. It's nothing that would harm the headphones. Also, thanks!! :)

I think E1 personal audio should have it. I tried a 64audio IEM some years ago there but I don't remember if it's U12T.

For me the question was, would there be any difference or not, and I was sure there would be no difference at all. Yeah, it was small, but if we are not mistaken, it was there, and for me that justifies some extra cash and effort. That is, of course, if the results are reliable, and fellow redditors pointed to some caveats In my setting. Guess I will have to do that again? Think I'll go with test sounds only, to only listen to sine sweeps like a true audiophile affectionado

Does the hard edge cut into the headband material or leave marks? Maybe some kind of soft material might prevent that. Maybe it’s fine. Looks cool!!

Is it semi automatic? Then shut up and take my money!
