I have been using open back Sennheisers forever, and am now wondering if it's possible to switch to something like the Aeon RT and have someone next to me not hear any music bleeding through. How much isolation do closed back headphones really offer?

Given all of the attention headphones are receiving here as of late, I thought this might be of interest. It's merely a press release, though, and light on details: https://www.dirac.com/news/2020/6/30/dirac-and-klipsch-collaborate-to-pioneer-the-next-generation-of-headphone-audio-performance

I wanted to find out if I can hear a channel imbalance of 0.5 db and 0.25 db when listening with headphones. In order to simulate a channel imbalance I recorded some sounds with a mono microphone, duplicated the track in audacity and exported it with identical left and right channels, +0.25 db...

Something I stumbled upon while browsing the Web. I've not applied it to any of my own personal audio gear, but do with it as you will: https://www.audiodiscourse.com/2020/12/introducing-antdroids-preference-target.html

As we all know, headphones, similarly as speakers, have non-linear and frequency dependent impedance. This non-linear impedance creates a divider with headphone amplifier output impedance, so the distortion measured at headphone amplifier output (behind its intrinsic output impedance) would...

Hello everyone, My name is Tomislav, I'm a headphone enthusiast, a long-time audiophile, currently a university medical student and a hobbyist headphone designer/DIY-er from Croatia with a dream of having my own headphone brand one day. I'm making this post in order to present the project I've...

i am a bit of a n00b. But i was reading about mismatching amps and headphones. My current setup is: PC source> USB Input DAC (SMSL M400) > balanced out > Balanced in SMSL SP200 > Beyerdynamic 1990 pros Currently i am suffering from tinnitus in my right ear, i heard that potentially i could...

Hello! I’m considering to buy both topping e30 and l30 in order to pair them with my beyer dt1770pro. The problem is I want to keep using my speakers, which are connected to an integrated amplifier. I want to use the E30 not only for headphones but also for speakers and I dont know exactly how...

Hello I've recently bought the k712 pro and have no knowledge on amp/DACs. I mostly play games followed by music and movies. I've been told I need something that can do 1w into 320 ohms. I doubt really know what that means but some dude said it when I posted I was buying the k712s. Ye...

Recently discovered Oluv's Gadgets on Youtube and was quite impressed with his reviews. Covers lots of Bluetooth speakers/boomboxes but also some standard speakers, soundbars and headphones. Very down to earth style, technical minded and no bullshit. His English accent might not be the best...

Hello, as the title says I'm looking for IEMs under 100€ to only use with my phone and maybe sometime my laptop. I don't use a dac, just straight from the 3.5mm jack of my pixel 3a. I stream music from Tidal HiFi, I need these only when I'm going around outside (for the future since I'm stuck...

Hi, since during the quarantine using headphones (at least for me) is the logical option, I have been locking into upgrading or diversifying my headphone lineup. As far as my music taste goes it's easier to disqualify genres of music I don’t listen to, those would be: hiphop, r&b, house, sax...

I currently have a Sound BlasterX AE-5 in my gaming PC and I'm thinking about if it's worth it to replace my sound card with an external DAC and headphone amp or DAC/headphone amp combo to get a better sound quality.

Happy Holidays :=) Thanks for the forum, all the reviews and comments ;) I've read some of them (even the beginner's guide) but some things I do not understand and for some, the more I read, the more confused. So I simply ask for an explanation- and buying advice. Current setup for stationary...

Hi All, I didn't see too many reviews on this yet so I thought to ask, has anyone here purchased/listened to the ifi Zen Dac yet? I recently purchased the ifi Zen Dac for home use with my desktop machine, and am not really sure what to make of it. For anyone wondering, this thing here...
