headphone

Does anybody know where one could procure those plastic pad mounting ring for the Denons? Denon 5200 and D2000 specifically (these have different mounting rings). I had checked Geekria, Dekoni -- they only sell pads, and ask that you pull out and reuse the existing plastic rings The plastic...

Hi everyone ! First time posting here. I want to gift my son his first headphones for his birthday. I wanted to pick the sundara (open or closed back) as they are quite cheap for the quality... but my wife says otherwise She's requesting those headphones to be bluetooth and below 130€... Make...

Hello. the soul of the question is on the poll, so ill use this text to share my case irl. i want to buy Fiio jt7 and am puzzled as to how to go about feeding it the power it needs. for around the same price, (40$) i can afford the Crinacle AP6, or the Magni 3 *used. which would be best...

I developed a high-resolution AutoEQ optimizer designed specifically for Poweramp parametric EQ. Unlike magnitude-only fitting approaches, this tool simulates real parametric biquad filters and jointly optimizes gain, center frequency, and Q using robust loss functions and perceptual weighting...

I just got laid off. Which is never great but this time I feel it could be an opportunity. I work(ed) in pharma for almost two decades now and I feel like I have seen it all. Besides science, I love music and I made my own in-ears in the past and sold them to friends and family. So why not...

I was looking for headphones for mixing. I want headphones that are better than my AudioTechnica ATH-M50X and AKG K240 Studio headphones, and I chose the Hifiman Ananda Nano. However, do I need an amplifier to run these headphones and use their full potential? Or I don't know which amplifier I...

I've tried to do a simple experiment with my phone. there's an app called Decibel X on google Playstore. It works like a Decibel meter. I've watched a video on youtube and it seems kinda accurate or at least close to accurate. I tried to play music with my headphones and the music averaged at 75...

Hi! First of all, I’m glad to leave my first message here! I’ve been reading this forum for a while now. And I have a nooby question because there’s just too much new info for me: I have an Audient ID4 MKII audio interface. It’s all good, except the headphone output has a high impedance...

Hey! I’m thinking of buying new headphones mainly for office work. Here in Italy today, the first-gen Bose QuietComfort Ultra is 245 € (unfortunately, the price of gen 2 hasn’t dropped for Black Friday), the Sennheiser Momentum 4 is 190 €, Cambridge Audio Melomia p100se is 230€, and then—even...

TL;DR On iOS 18/19/26 (tested on iPhone 17), my external DAC (Fiio BRT7, usb DAC mode) was recognized as Headphones. This triggered Apple’s Headphone Safety path → lower max volume + audible “flattening” of peaks. Fix: disable “Treat USB Devices as Headphones” in Settings → Sounds & Haptics →...

Hi everyone, I'm reaching out once again for your knowledge and expertise. I'm looking for some headphone recommendations as a gift for my brother. He, like me, really enjoys music, but he's more into rock, metal, hip-hop, and electronic music. I've introduced him to my headphone collection...

I finally got around to taking some measurements in REW and decided to try and measure my headphone setup. I am curious if my methods are accurate at all. If they are not, some tips would be nice on how to improve them. I assume an actual audio interface and multimeter would be recommended? My...

Hi Guys, not sure if this post is redundant or spammy, if that's the case I apologize. Well as the title says I'm looking for a good option to pair with my Meze Empyrean 2 and probably with my other headphones too :P at this point I'm overwhelmed by options and opinions from reviewers, post on...

Hi, I was looking to buy a my first 2.1 system (+Wiim for EQ) but after researching for weeks, does it even make sense to buy speakers if you want a flat frequency response? Ignoring the question of what is a flat target curve, is it even possible to hit any curve below 500hz with the way room...

The blue is the measurement result of open-ear earbuds, the red is harman2018, the orange is the artificial ear response I measured directly at a close distance of 30 degrees using KH120, and the green is the 30-degree response of KH120 after I removed the soft pinna. It seems that every time I...

Hey audio peeps. I'm in need of some education since I can't make sense of what's happening in my setup. I'm using a couple of DACs at the moment which are an SMSL DS100 and a UA Volt 2 interface, both USB powered, both connected to a pair of Kali LP6. I was trying to use the DS100 as my...

Hi all, I'm wondering what you guys think would perform the best for mixing/production: AKG K371 or SHP9500 + Virtuoso, essentially being a virtual mixing environment OR Something like the Adam Audio D3V or Edifier MR3 on an untreated bedroom Curious to know what your takes are on whether...

I have been thinking about measuring and EQing my Beyerdynamics DT 900 Pro X and ZiiGaat Nuo with REW. Does this translate to noticable real-world benefits?

Launch price is approximately $699. These are FiiO's latest headphones and based on their recent track-record with the FT1 and FT1 Pro I have high hopes for these. The only measurements I have seen are these official ones by FiiO:
