I'll add that before the IN-5s, I had a pair of LP-6s (V1) in the same setup. Sometimes my kids and their friends would watch movies on the computer monitor from the couch -- we're talking about four to six small children (who talk throughout the movie and bounce around) while four to six adults...

I have a pair of IN-5s. As others have stated, their suitability for living room listening will depend on the size of your living room, how far you will be sitting away from the speakers, and how loud you want your music to go. The IN-5s have a built-in limiter, so if you push them too hard, the...

I'll be curious how AdrenalinH likes the FT1. It popped on my radar as a surprise <$500 contender (a bit like the Audeze Maxwell: good frequency response, seemingly well made, not exactly what I'm looking for, but could be really good?)...

Yes, I read your post that way! But I also get the sense that K371 vs 602S may come down to preference for Harman tuning vs the "Sennheiser sound." I don't have experience with the favored Sennheisers -- I've avoided the 600/650/6XX line due to lack of bass. The 560S has real appeal (or the...

Haha! should have caught that -- hadn't looked at the FT3 too closely yet. :p

Thanks! I follow your thinking and this is helpful. The DCA E3 looks like a solid K371 upgrade -- of course, like the OP, I'm trying to stick to a sub-$500 budget. I'm also looking for something relatively portable, which has me shying away from amp requirements, and, generally, planar magnetics...

Thanks! This is helpful. Bass is key -- it's part of what I love about the K371 -- but too much of a good thing is not always good. Per your site's measurements, the FT3 looks a bit tamer in the bass than the FT1.

Don't mean to start a side track, but I'm curious how you'd compare the K371 to the 620S as I'm looking to upgrade my K371 with another closed back and was considering the 620S (I'm also considering the Fiio FT1 and the SRH840A -- apologies to the OP! I know you're not interested in the AKGs or...

You probably don't need a new interface. Julian Krauss reviewed the Behringer UMC202HD (which likely has the same preamps as your 204) and he was able to get a perfectly good level out of the SM57 (check out the 5:08 mark of this video). As LevityProject suggests above, try playing around with...

The comment likely refers to EQ Mac, a system-wide equalizer application: https://eqmac.app/ I use SoundSource to apply system-wide EQ on a Mac, which I apply with Apple's AUNBandEQ audio unit. I don't notice any difference in performance, although AUNBandEQ does not seem to be capable of...

Not sure if this is covered higher up in the thread, but I assume the industry is not particularly invested in music listening via Atmos, per se. They are collecting data, testing, and working toward development of a virtual reality/immersive/interactive content experience, which, they hope...

Thanks!

Piggybacking here since I have the same question (I'm on a Mac using REW). Is REW's "headroom" value the preamp value? In other words, for EQ filters requiring 2.6 dB of headroom, should I set my EQ's preamp value to -2.6?

Free just for Windows users, yes? Looks like the MathEQ add-on component is not available in foobar2000 for Mac: https://www.foobar2000.org/mac Can anyone recommend a free software solution for implementing room EQ on a Mac?

No worries! Thanks for the reply.

I see you sold the Sennheisers, but are the AKGs still available?
