Today, I finally received the UMIK-1 and have been running some tests. In short, the experiment was a success. The piano went from being nearly impossible to play to sounding moderately good, considering the inherent clarity and distortion limitations of having only two speakers at the bottom...

Thank you very much for the advice. It makes sense to use the Moving Microphone Method that you mentioned, so I will do that. The most challenging part will be avoiding transmitting too many vibrations to the microphone, but I’ll try to do it carefully. I’ll first try measuring L and R...

That's right, but my main question is about the microphone's orientation, since the speakers are positioned lower than the mic and are directed towards the floor. The microphone cost €99. I just looked up a pair of second-hand JBL 305P speakers, and they don’t sell for less than €200 in my...

My piano, unfortunately, does not have Line In or Line Out, only a USB cable. It is a Yamaha CLP-825; as the most affordable model in the range, it has limited features. However, fortunately, the USB connection not only transmits MIDI but also functions as an audio interface, allowing the...

Thank you for your quick and insightful response. I have been conducting some tests, and while it is true that without ASIO, the delay prevents me from playing accurately, when using ASIO with a small buffer, I haven't noticed any significant discomfort due to latency. Regarding completely...

I have a digital piano, but at the moment, I can only use it with headphones because my room has poor acoustics—particularly an issue at 130 Hz that coincides with the C3 note. Implementing acoustic treatment is not a viable option due to financial and space constraints. For this reason, I’ve...

I believe it should be sufficient. I use the DX1 with my HD 650, applying an equalization that boosts the sub-bass by reducing the rest of the frequencies by -9 dB to avoid clipping. Additionally, I utilize ReplayGain to normalize the volume of all my music. Despite these adjustments that lower...

I'm a complete newbie with Linux, and I've broken the OS many times trying to install audio software. However, I finally succeeded in installing PipeWire with WirePlumber on Linux Mint and managed to equalize my headphones, all thanks to this script...

Did you try using the USB port on the right side? It was the only one for me without issues. If you have an Android phone you can easily check the current of the ports with a free app called "Ampere". The port with the lowest current worked great for me.

I'm having an issue with my DX1 and I'd like to ask here just in case anybody else knows a solution... I recently upgraded my laptop and now my DX1 randomly stops working every 2 hours or so. It stops outputting audio and in order to fix it I have to disconnect the USB and connect it again. For...

I've been using Oratory's equalization files for each model, which should make the difference between both models much lower, so I guess it could be just unit variation. Although I think Oratory should have made at least two different EQs depending on pad compression, but let's believe that both...

After using (and loving) my HD 600 for seven years I have decided to put them on sale and buy the HD 650 to replace them. I have found that I like the HD 650 a bit more. · The last few weeks I've been using the HD 600 with Oratory's equalization and new original pads. The vocals sounded a bit...

If I remember correctly Sennheiser packaging does not have any kind of seal or adhesive that could suggest if the box was opened before. But anyways the pads do look slightly used. You can check an unboxing on YouTube to see if the cable was not stored as it should be. Anyways I guess Thomann...

The pads shouldn't be angled by default. As a user with glasses, this looks like these pads were used by someone with glasses for a month or two and one of them was rotated 180º after being used. Are you sure these weren't "B-Stock" (returned by another buyer)? By the fact that one is rotated...

Yes, I can. Using the phase slider makes a difference. Although our ears/brain are more sensitive around 200~400 Hz, as you can see on this graph from RTINGS, which is based on this research. You can also read more about this here. On subbass, you need more degrees of phase difference to notice...

I would recommend lowering the clamping force by bending the headband. There are some tutorials out there since it's the same for many headphone models (600, 650, 6XX...). I did this to my HD 600 and I'm very happy with it, much better comfort now. Just make sure that you only put pressure on...

Oh, then you mean that these settings gave you the same listening volume? · Creative G6 on low gain with Windows volume at -20 dB (27%) · Creative G6 on high gain with Windows volume at -35 dB (10%) · Topping DX3 Pro+ on high gain with Windows volume at 0 dB (100%)

I'm a bit confused while reading this... are you keeping the volume control knob at the same position and only changing the volume from your computer? -35 dB on the digital signal is very low and the amplifier has to do a lot of work to amplify that to your "daily usage volume". In order to...

Yes, after trying out the Edition XS and the HD 800 S I confirm that the equalized bass on the HD 600 is not "high quality" (although it's better with the boost than without it). If I could get the Edition XS to sound natural on the vocals I would have kept them... but I couldn't and considering...

From older to newer: Sennheiser HD 595 (2010 | 100€) [GIVEN AWAY] My first real pair of headphones. I was quite happy with them. I wasn't analytical about the sound yet, but I enjoyed them and they were comfortable. Koss Porta Pro (2012 | 29€) [BROKEN] I bought these for portable use. I...
