Earned Amir's golfing panther https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/dan-clark-audio-aeon-rt-review-closed-headphone.19393/ I've had these about 6 months and they've only got about 5-6 hours of use and are 9/10, only because they've been opened and used. All original...

Hello one & all, My Yamaha RX-V683 losing Volume and Headphone Jack is having problems and is finally going South :-( So now it is time to find a new AVR that does break my Back. Here is my main Problem, I have a hearing loss of 50~80% depending on the Frequency on the Left & 40~50% Right. I...

Hello, I'd love advice about adding headphone amplification to my desktop computer/mic interface/speaker setup. I am replacing some headphones I've had for ages and never loved (Sennheiser Momentum). At first I decided to get the Austrian Hi-X60. But now I'm dithering and thinking I should get...

Hi, I currently own a Sony WH-1000XM3 and a Sennheiser HD800S. I use the latter for mixing and the former while recording, but the difference in sound quality is obviously quite big. I was looking for a closed headphone with good ambient noise isolation (not necessarily active cancelation) with...

What’s your endgame gear for PC Gaming? Im currently using a Topping D90SE DAC, Topping A90D Amp, Blue Yeti Pro Mic, & HD800S Headphones, but I’m always curious to try new headphones / potential upgrades. Anyone want to share their current setup or have any suggestions for something new to try...

He is going to update his database using the new B&K equipment. Edit: It surprises me a little bit this thread doesn't get any traction. I thought more people would find this interesting to discuss :)

I'm going insane doing endless research into headphones. My use would be at work and public transport (general usage). I prefer wired over wireless, and want to prioritise sound quality over features. I've looked at the mezze 99 classics but I've read multiple times that they aren't tuned...

Hello ! I recently came across the ASR's headphone test playlist in a thread about EQ. I went through a good part of it. I now have the following interrrogation: how was it crafted ? I can tell that one would choose music of his taste. I suppose there should be tracks with characteristics to...

Hi, does anyone have a Harman target curve in excel or any different file? I am looking for a target curve for both headphones and earphones.

In our post-COVID world of working from home and oft-repeated virtual meetings (another term for Zoom fatigue), I thought I would reach out and invite others to share their thoughts on the ideal desktop setup for working and listening to music. Beside the benefit of crystal-clear sound for...

Hello. On Rtings reviews there are weighted harmonic distortion graphs. Could we use that data to somehow modify the audio signal to try to remove the harmonic distortion? If so, is there a program or maybe a Matlab/Python script that applies such correction to audio files? Would there be any...

I've been obsessed with headphones measurements for years, specifically with frequency response measurements. But, I am yet to find measurements that match with what I actually hear. More specifically, none of the measurements match with what I hear when I run the SineGen. They are accurate up...

Hello, I thought it'd be nice to a a summary of the available products and information we have or lack. I didn't mention below headphones that are most certainly not qualified to be the best. If I forgot anything, please mention it. Model (candidates for best) Price (2nd hand) Audio Science...

OK this isn't aimed at any one brand of speaker, amp, headphone, etc. I noticed when listening to a FLAC that's been boosted and compressed to death aka loudness wars, in headphones its still pretty clear and not really distorted but just loud, yet when I heard it through the same DAC...

For sale the Grado GS3000e over-ear closed-back HPs with all accessories/original packaging in mint condition. Considered by many the best Grado HP, it is light like a feather and its sound is warmer than typical Grado sound signature (no sibilant treble). Buyer can choose between the Geekria...

Hi, I feel a bit lost as I'm new to this space, and I'd really appreciate your help. I'm looking to get a setup that would power both a pair of active studio monitors and a pair of headphones. Both are entry-level (JBL 305P MKII and Sennheiser HD 600). At first, I had been considering buying...

Hey everyone, I've been lurking and reading over the past few days but haven't quite figured out how to do what I want to do. I am a complete noob and am trying to build a very basic home cinema setup with a projector I've been given, a streaming device and headphones. My biggest concern is the...

Heya, there's a couple of threads asking about safe listening levels and people asking about voltage/power requirements in almost any amp/headphone thread. Here's my take on this: Noise Exposure Limits The EPA and WHO recommend that noise should be kept below 70 dBA over 24 hours and below 75...

Hi all, does anyone of you have experience with both the lcd-x and lcd-24? I was in the market for an LCD-X, I have an HD800s which I EQ to the Harman target and its almost perfect, but I find the sub bass around 30 hz to be insufficient even after eq. I did a tone test with a sine wave at 30...
