    Are headsets bad? I don't see it.

    It seems like audiophiles do not take headsets seriously. In a Youtube video, famous audiophile Crinacle mentioned that buying a headset is hardly ever worth anyones money, even for gamers. He recommended going for third-party microphone solutions instead. Judging by reviews and frequency...

    "Non-Vented" IEMs? Is this a thing?

    I just saw a review about the "Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite" (feel free to tell me how to make this video smaller): This is not about this particular IEM, but the reviewer said whats special about it is that it is not "vented", so it seals/isolates better but the pressure can become uncomfortable...

    Lossless vs well-ripped lossy files

    Before I went down the "audiophile" rabbit hole, I ripped most of my CDs as 192kb ogg files (a lossy format which is considered to be better than mp3). I made a frequency analysis using the software "Audacity". The frequencies which have been cut off are easily below 20hz and over 20000hz. This...

    Are they just selling the same driver several times? (Fostex TH-610)

    The Fostex TH-610 was the first (I think) of several high-end headphones with a remarkably similar frequency response. Some are sold for 300, others are sold for like 1500. It is a good headphone, dont get me wrong. I am talking about the Fostex TH900, Fostex TH909, E-Mu Teak, Denon AH-5200...

    The more ohm the better (Beyerdynamic, Superlux etc.)? Is there any science to back this up?

    I own a Beyerdynamic 880 Edition 32 Ohm. And I have read so often in forums that this version is the worst, and that the 600 ohm version is even better than the 250 ohm version. I know that Tyll Hertsens once said in a Youtube video that he doesnt like the 32 ohm version. The main argument I...

    7hz Salnotes Zero - the "other" Zero

    Many words have been written in this forum about the Crinacle x Truthear Zero, and how cheap it is for its sound. Now as some of you surely know, there is also another "Zero" for an even cheaper price - 7hz Salnotes Zero. I guess many people have not even realized yet that these are not the...

    Guide: How to create your own target curve (and to load it into Crinacles EQ software).

    There might be more comfortable ways to do so, but maybe someone is interested how I created my own target curve and uploaded it into Crinacles EQ Software. I am not a native speaker so I hope I can explain this well enough. 1) First you go to the AutoEQ website by Jaakko Pasanen and download...

    The IEM Harman Target 2019 sounds "off" to me. Is it just me?

    I recently purchased an Etymotic ER4XR. If you do so, you get a certificate with measurements that the drivers are matched within 1 DB. They already sounded pretty great to my ears out of the box. :) Still, I was curious how they sound if I EQ them to the Harman Target. I used the Harman tuning...
