Just bought some Sennheiser HD560s (new version), really impressed for the money.
These now go with my Hifiman Sundaras and Truthear Hexas.
I gave my nephew my Moondrop Chus at Xmas as he was using one earbud to listen to music after losing the other and he does have pretty decent taste...
Hi. I bought some Sennheiser HD560s after Xmas. I haven't actually gamed with them yet but did listen to some tunes and watch some tv and wow, seriously good for the money, very impressed. Thanks for all the advice.
Hi.
I have some Sundaras which I use for music, movies and gaming at home.
I keep toying with the idea of buying some other headphones primarily for gaming but when I read into it I end up sticking as there are a huge amount of opinions out there and the Sundaras always seem to come out as one...
For a Bluetooth Receiver pretty much everyone is going to recommend a Qudelix 5k, not sure of the price in Euros but I believe 100 - 150.
I use the Apple USB Dongle and it's fine for most IEMs, it's about 10 Euros and I have some Trurthear Hexas which I do really like, no idea on Euro prices...
I went for a stack SMSL HO100 and DO100 as I needed an analog in, most of the combination units in my price range don’t offer this apart from some of the Fiio ones which weren’t reviewed here.
Yeah the bass boost is decent, I use it with my Sundaras. You could always try equalising, there are a lot of threads on here about it. I use Equaliser APO on my PC.
Have a look on Crinacle’s website and You Tube videos, he does a good one on gaming headphones. Interestingly he says his favourite under £150 is the Koss KSC75 which is about £20.
If you don’t play FPS games you may want to think about something less gamer ish as the neutral bright sounding...
Truthear Hexa
AKG 702
Hifiman 400se - there are often sales on the Hifiman web site.
Sennheiser hd560 - if you can find a deal
I own the Hexas and they are pretty nice, described as neutral with bass boost. AKG 702 is supposed to be great for gaming but can be a bit bright for music, loads of...
I gave up with the search for a DAC. I now have a splitter in my controller connected to a mic and line out, the line out goes into a SMSL HO100 via an RCA splitter, the mic is a lavalier one that clips onto your headphone wire, it has a long thin lead which is wound around the line out then...
Sennheiser HD600 have a neutral sound signature according to the headphone database Crinacle has compiled. You could look for a neutral tuned IEM using his IEM rankings, I've found his judgement to be pretty good. The Sennheiser IEMs look ok but there are better, cheaper ones IMO...
