Reply to Are $1000 headphones a waste if my music library doesn’t have much in terms of high-fidelity music? by HaroRicky
$1K headphones with MP3s will make a much bigger difference than $50 headphones and $950 of 24-bit FLACs.
I listen to a lot of electronic music too, trance, future bass, melodic dubstep, electronic rock, some hardcore/hard-dance, etc. And I enjoy them on kilobuck headphones, and I've never found the genre to ever limit my enjoyment of those songs on fancy headphones.

Reply to comment by killerofgiants in Monoprice canceled my m1570c order. I guess you guys bought them all up when they were $200 and they still let my order go through? by didnt_ask_dont-care
I got mine like 10 minutes after the email sale alert I had setup was received well before the reddit post. This was 5am Sunday pacific standard time and they still just cancelled so I'm not sure how anyone that ordered on the 19th got one.

Tbh there are songs I enjoy more on worse gear because they’re poorly mastered and that bothers me on high end gear.

Same happened to me. I don't understand it either.

I wouldn't count on it. Their statement feels like they have no intention to restock in the future

It shines for me. But would I be happy with a $300 headphone? Yes.

I listen to that type of music pretty often and I’d say they sound much better with nicer headphones. However, there is no need to spend $1k. There are plenty of headphones under that amount of money that sound amazing

Reply to comment by AntOk463 in I know Peace Equalizer has presets for headphones but are there any presets for regular laptop speakers in the database? by EzzoMahfouz
Cool you set that up. I’m gonna check that out because that might work for me as well.

Same happened to me! I placed my order on Mar 14th. Got shipping info Mar 26, and then they canceled and refunded me today Mar 27. I'm pretty sore about this one.

usb filters make sound too cheeseburger/cake'y , i like 5grand powercables, they make my sound like creamy moonlace, acellerating like black and white styled rally toyota tacoma, printed on a rounded game cube, made from 11% wool, and 89% cotton.

Reply to my headphone collection after a few months! by Akak1ra
Not sure if I'm gonna upgrade to the sr60x or the he400's. The he400's need alot of juice I heard and all I have is a cx1993 dongle. My current grados sing with that dongle, so I'll probably just stay with the grado sound.

I love them! For being a flathead they have some impressive dynamics, sound stage, and bass. Comes with a ton of accessories and the build of the buds are top notch. I use them with a ifi GO Blu but you can run them off anything easily. I just have the portable so why not use it.

The Audio-Technicas are twice as much as the LCD5 though

You can't use Wavelet, you have to use AirReps156X. Download and open the app, select the Free Pro 2 and connect, then go to "equalizer". Enter the values, then tap "save data". Out of the box, the Free Pro 2 doesn't use its "base" frequency response, it uses an EQ that Earfun applied (I assume via the same app), which basically turns the Free Pro 2 into a generic chifi TWS U-shape signature. What Oluv's method essentially does is delete Earfun's EQ, and apply his own EQ to the Free Pro 2's "base" FR (which is absolutely terrible btw). You can change the EQ after you apply it, but I'm pretty sure you can't revert to Earfun's original EQ; it's deleted permanently. The app is also a pain to use, it feels like a half-finished product. Honestly I'd hesitate to recommend it just because of how convoluted the process can be.
