Hi everyone,
I’m looking to buy my first pair of over ear headphones and would really appreciate your advice.
My budget is up to €200, and I’ll be using them in two main scenarios:
1) Office Use
Connected to my laptop in an open desk environment.
Mostly for listening to music via YouTube or...
Hi everyone. I think I am looking for a combination DAC and headphone amp. I'm starting to geek out on my sound systems at my desks at home and at work. At work I primarily listen on a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4s. The noise reduction does a great job on the constant air handler rumble at my desk. I...
I have a Samsung Galaxy S24+ (Android 14) and two DACs (MEIZU Hifi Pro and MOONDROP Dawn Pro) and I just picked up the Hifiman Sundara headphones.
I can play local files with USB Audio Player Pro and it works fine with the phone-DAC-headphone setup. However, if I want to stream files over my...
Quite nice advice for newbies and not only which can be expanded also to other audio categories.
Short overview:
00:00 - Intro
00:51 - Avoid solely considering your budget maximum
01:43 - Avoid the sunk cost fallacy
02:45 - Avoid sanitized "reviews" from content farms
03:10 - Avoid buying too...

I love my DT 1990 Pro at home. But they are openback, so a big nono in my work, don't want to annoy other with my jazz. Any bright closed back headphones that you know about that are available in EU around 500 eur (upper limit)?
I though about getting DT 1770 Pro, if nothing comes around to at...
Selling a lightly used pair of Hifiman Arya Stealth headphones. Bought on Amazon new from Hifiman in November 2024. I can take more pictures for serious buyers if needed. This comes with everything that it shipped with from the manufacturer.
Condition: Like New - Used for about 30 days...
Recently I've been hearing popping/clicking noises from music and other audio. I at first thought it was an issue with my headphones, so I tried others, but it stayed the same. I thought the issue was my DAC so I used my phone, same issue. I thought it might be a coincidental issue with multiple...
I have been using the Shure SRH840A's for a hell of a long time. I love them and know them well.
But with the investment of a new headphone amp and soon a DAC, I'd like to invest in a great pair of cans that can be powered!
I'd appreciate any recommendations.

Hey there gang, wasn't sure where to post this but thought this could be an okay place for the topic at hand. Title says it all. I'm looking to start my DJ journey into mixing and recording but also want to have the sweet flexibility and enjoyment of being able to use whatever headphones I...
I'm a long-time user of all kinds of audio technology, including things that produce and process sound.
For work, I wear noise-canceling headphones or IEMs, to help me be less distracted by ambient noise (I don't do audio these days anymore). That means I wear these devices all day, every...
Hello
I'm new to this depth of audio but I am a producer / mixing and mastering engineer currently using Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80 ohms going through a Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD audio interface.
After reading other posts I understand in the future I will need to upgrade the headphones but...
Hello, I am currently using the DT770 Pro 250 ohm with an audio interface (Behringer UMC1820). I also have a microphone, the Audio-Technica AT2035.
I am looking for an upgrade from my existing setup and want to try open-back headphones.
Thank you in advance.

I’m experimenting with building over-ear headphones (3D printed) and wondering what’s the typical way to attach the driver to the baffle.
Let’s say it’s a 50mm driver.
I could print a 50mm ring and wedge the driver in. Then put some hot glue around the edge.
Or I could print a 54mm ring...
