@Dan Clark in your opinion would the Noire X pair nicely with the newly released JDS Labs Element IV DAC/AMP combo?
Absolutely fine@Dan Clark in your opinion would the Noire X pair nicely with the newly released JDS Labs Element IV DAC/AMP combo?
A field I know nothing about, sorry.@Dan Clark I feel pressure when noise cancelling is activated. Because it does do the inverse noise.
I am about to try shooting headphones, which do not have noise cancelling. Instead, they let you selectively boost certain frequencies while dimming everything else.
Sadly, in-ears are no option because my ear canals are literally too small for having it long over the day.
Are you aware of a good solution? Next thing I try is a "Sordin Supreme X"
I tried a different model for around 150 bucks but my ears were too big to fit in.
The only other thing that comes to mind is using an iPhone in a reverse hearing protection mode or something, while having headphones on.
I would need it in social settings, cause people are too loud.
That is an interesting result. One thing I have noticed with ANC headphones, is they almost universally have a bass boost (some terrible) and this is very evident if you listening to one in a quiet or normal environment. But on an airplane (or even a train) you almost want to compensate for low frequency ambient noise with a bass boost to get music to sound normal.The small bump in the 30-80Hz region is "cup gain"
Sounds about right. I was on quiet modern wide-body jets and the bass stood out fine at moderate volume, but you are correct about this, the effect is called masking.That is an interesting result.

Crazy as it might sound, I even listen to a couple of frequency sweeps on an airplane with different headphones and found when the ANC is only good ie. ( but not great), I would classify say the AirPods Max as having great ANC, it sounded more balanced with a boosted bass.
YesDo these fit in the Aeon 2 case? I assume no, but I thought I'd ask.
I recently flew back from Spain and used the NOIRE X on a flight, I found it to be really pleasantly quiet, but I wasn't sure how quiet it actually was for passive blocking. So we modified our test enclosure to do noise reduction measurements, it was very interesting to see. The small bump in the 30-80Hz region is "cup gain" where the enclosure slightly amplifies low frequency ambient noise. EDIT: Properly implemented ANC will likely offer better reduction below 300Hz, but from 1KHz up blocking is probably superior (e.g. screaming babies). This is a hypothesis though, so I need to wrangle a set of ANC headphones at some point and test for comparison. Should be interesting.
the Hirose 4 pin connector is solid? Can she be disconnected/reconnected every day? I can't putt a headphone without removing the cable because of my cats
We have only had one connector fail in the history of using this, it's remarkably tough. The one failure was someone who stood up fast while standing on his cable, creating a bent/flat spot the prevented closure. You shouldn't have any issue.the Hirose 4 pin connector is solid?

They are applied with tape and are easily removed for replacement. Tape = better seal, lighter weight, nothing to breakthank you
Can we remove the cushions to change them?
In the YouTube comments, one person says it's glued
what about magnet tape?They are applied with tape and are easily removed for replacement. Tape = better seal, lighter weight, nothing to break
You have this headphone I think. Doesn't it keep your ears too warm after several minutes?what about magnet tape?
Weight and cost. Nothing in the headphone is magnetic other than magnets so you also need magnets in the baffle. And unless the whole baffle is magnetic that doesn't assure a good seal either.what about magnet tape?
