Reply to comment by agentzune in Just EQ in resolution. by TheFrator

It's a very well-sorted set of headphones. I ended up replacing my pads with the ZMF perforated leather pads a year ago when I'd crushed the stock pads down to roughly the consistency of cardboard. The ZMF pads sound really good as well. Different than the stock velour pads, but good.

Reply to Wore my Chus after showering - now the filters fell out by therealPaulPlay

Now I orderer Truthear x Crinacle Zeros. This was my final push to do it… the chus sound a bit more piercing now, but still work fine but I assume that dust and other particles will get into the IEMs through the nasal now. Can‘t recommend buying the Chus now anymore, they only held up for 5 months. My ears weren’t really wet, just a little bit moist. Still, the adhesive dissolved :(

I'm one of those persons who sees no difference between one or the other, but I have always had Tinnitus.

Reply to comment by Injoemomma in Anyone else playing warzone with stereo headphones? …….Taking a break from playing until next Thursday for Warzone2. I hope to continue to maximize my competitive advantage with these HD800s. I can hear other players before they hear me. by [deleted]

>If you up against someone with similar skill and you have better headphones, you will have an advantage.

Only if you're up against people with poor game sense, aim and stuff.

I'm not saying that upgrading headphones shouldn't be done or anything, I'm just saying that high-end headphones, especifically, don't portray any advantage whatsoever while gaming. It's just how it is.

And even in some games, like APEX, you're actually better with some apple earpods and using audio compression than with god tier DT 1990's or something.

The same applies to keyboard, it just needs to be NKRO and not have any double-click problem and you're fine, it's not a precision peripheral, like a mouse or monitor.

​

>Will I have an advantage over a similar skilled player with a 144 or 240hz? Yes, I will.

As I've said, it's not comparable. It's like saying that you got and advantage over the other same skill level player because you were with your foot on a support.

Most game audios are crap, the difference a headphone will make can only go so far, and it's not far at all in current competitive games audio engines.

Again, I'm not saying it's a bad thing to upgrade you audio for competitive game, it might be though, I'm just saying it won't give you any advantage.

This is standard in the audio world in genral. This is why the very few wireless headphones that have a true analog input for unpowered playback tend to sound like rubbish. The analog path on those specific headphones don't apply the DSP, and you're getting the raw output of those drivers.

DSP tuning unlocks the potential in many drivers that otherwise are not tuned.

Reply to Beyerdynamic dt 770 pro 80 Ohm + Mobile Devices? by VenomTheTree

Personally, I had little problem even running the 250ohm 990s, but it could vary from phone to phone depending on the in build amp. Pretty sure you'll be fine with the 80ohm model.

Regarding your second question, on android I recommend Wavelet as an equalizer. Just pull down the ~5k-10k frequencies to your liking. Wavelet also comes with pre-made equalizer curves for many headphones, also worth a try

Reply to comment by super_smoothie in Focal Clear are melting my ears and not in a good way (review) by super_smoothie

I just got the elegia, (same driver dome but different magnet structure) and I feel the same about the upper-mids being too shouty. I found the dan clark tuning filters help A LOT! I just pop one behind the pad and it smooths thing out. I believe burn in will help tone it down and little, but for now the DCA filters are great.
