Sometimes you just don't want to switch on everything or move to the living room/movie room when watching a tv series or an anime. So, when you sit in front of your computer for that, what headphones will you use? I am looking for something comfy to wear for 2-3 hours, open, closed, IEM are...

I am in the market for subwoofer. The price difference of some of them is vast and spec wise seems similar. My question is, are they pretty much the same? What makes a subwoofer "good"?

I recently built a new pc, the audio output is super hissy for headphone. I am using Presonus HD7 and Audio Technica M60x, both give a very audible hiss when no music is played. Topping DX3 is very nice and will be an overkill for the things I am using. Is there a product I can plug in the...

Seen this topic floating around reddit, I want to bring it to ASR. For myself: I wish I had NOT bought , Beyerdynamic DT 770, the clamping force is too strong for my unusually big head ( I wear XXL motorcycle helmet ) Fiio FH5 In-ear, the sales was a pretty girl ( I know I know, I try to...

100s of Microsoft interns dance and sing about the company they're working in. I guess this is not going to happen back in Bill and Balmer days. @amirm perhaps it brings you back some memories??

Does anyone have experience with this pair of headphones?? I see a used pair on sale and the price is attractive. However I cannot find any review on 7510. Plenty reviews on 7506, I am thinking are they similar sounding?? I listened to 7506 and think they are a bit harsh on the highs. If...

Haha, I make a SSS title. As you may have noticed I posted about Edifier E25. Maybe a suggestion post will attract more eyeballs and clicks. The above is my room and I sit facing the balcony. I am looking for a pair of speakers, passive or active , something under 500-600 USD with everything...

People of Psychology Department of Harvard U built a website called "The Music Lab" There are a couple of interesting test, but the best one should be this one: Are you Tone Deaf? http://beta.themusiclab.org/quizzes/td They recommend to use headphone to do the test, but always some rebel...

Hello again ASR gang, I am looking for a pair of small speakers for my PC. Today when I browse around on massdrop, this pops up: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/edifier-e25-luna-eclipse-bluetooth-speakers Although they don't deliver to Australia, which where I located, it's priced at 250AUD...

The technology in audio is getting better and better, it is quite difficult to get a higher spec without forking out tons of money. The top tier DAC and middle tier one may have only 5 db difference between them, but the top one might cost hundreds more. As the law of diminishing apply, where...

To my knowledge, balanced output is used to reduce ground and hum in professional audio. Which is a great deal as the cables need to run for a longer distant and signaling high power PA system. However, is the balanced out will do good in home audio? As we usually just sit in front of the...

I have read about matching the impedance for speakers / headphone at about 1/8 or 1/10 of the amp output. Which it works for a better damping factor the transducer to provide better base performance. I am wondering, what would happen if I plug a low impedance, say 16 ohm, headphone into a amp...

Although that's more about the recording side, I guess same applies to amplifiers.

Steve Gutenberg talks about accuracy in this video: I personally think that it holds true to speakers and headphones. However, for electronics, accuracy is still prime. Such say an amplifier, you don't know what kind of distortion is more favorable to another. I would rather have a super low...

It seems to me most mid-fi, hi-fi DAC like to use ESS sabre chip in their products. In some cases, it is used for marketing purposes too. Is there a reason why they are so dominant? Are they really out perform their opponents by much?? Or the chip is more easy to work with?? Drowning in deep...

After reading heaps of reviews about dac/amp, the shopping bug finally bite me. I decided to spend some money for one, to seek for the box which let you hear god. The box I bought was ifi nano iDSD BL. This is the link for that% https://ifi-audio.com/products/nano-idsd-bl/ I then try to use...
