Thanks for the detailed response! But have you tried EQing the DT1990's by any chance? And no tube amp, just 4 Soundblasterx G6's. And i guess it just isn't fair comparing open back to closed. But in the case of the closed back DT770(250ohm)'s , paired with a DAC, Vs the Maxwell's, which of the...

How do the Maxwell's stack up against the DT770(250ohm)'s? or better yet, DT1990's? I remember getting the Penrose a few years ago, and while the freedom of wireless was fantastic, the DT770's ultimately had the clear edge in overall audio. Better soundstage, clarity and bass based on what i...

I was hoping to get away with using a 15ft TRS Aux cable linked below with my DT770(250ohm) cans and connected straight to my Soundblasterx G6 DAC, since it reaches perfectly from where I'm sitting from my 65" TV. My other 10ft aux cable doesn't quite make it. :P...

I never use Direct mode, since i prefer using EQ(SBX) and increasing the Bass by 3-4 points(to 3.1) with an ever so slight treble boost when using my DT770's. I may check out the HEL2E, although I've read a few people complaining about USB failure, so there's that lack of reliablity that might...

It's frustrating, because I'm always hearing different answers. Like > Digital is digital(USB 2.0 and Optical), it either works or it doesn't. Audio degradation doesn't exist, again it either works or it doesn't OR you'll get pops or drop outs if the cable is in fact too long. But then some...

The shorter the better because of reliability, as in avoiding drop outs etc? Or because longer cables beyond 10ft produce inferior audio quality? Because if the audio quality is taking any sort of hit whatsoever, i'd definitely want to go for 6-10ft and just stick the DAC in my TV stand right...

Sure, I could just use two 6ft USB(2.0) cables from my Nintendo Switch & PS5 straight to my DAC, and then a 6ft Optical cable from my DAC and straight to my TV for Streaming, but ideally i wanted to have my DAC(s) away from my TV stand and beside me on my End table next to my sofa, just for...

I own three G6's, which i use via USB for Nintendo Switch, PS5, and my LG C1 OLED's Optical connection for Streaming. Reason why i purchased 3 is because i wanted them routed with cable concealers against the bottom of the walls, and to my end table that's next to my Sofa and hooked...

800S's don't have enough bass, and I'd still take the DT1990's over the 600 lineup.

If Penrose or some other company can make a wireless pair of Open-back 2.4ghz headphones that sound every bit as good as the Beyer Dynamic DT1990 Pro's, I would be thrilled. I'd totally drop at least a grand CAD for a pair. When i got my Penrose, they sounded pretty solid, but still behind my...

The Nintendo Switch & PS5 don't support Optical. Just USB or HDMI for Audio.

Isn't there a self powered USB Hub that can be used for Nintendo Switch and PS5(To use with a SoundblasterG6 DAC & Headphones) where you don't have to press a button on the Hub itself, or use a remote to press a button, when you want to switch between devices? Like, a Hub that instead...

Is it really worth shelling out over $400 more for the DT1990 Pro's? is the sound quality and sound stage that much better? Plan on using one of the two with a G6 Soundblaster DAC with my Nintendo Switch & PS5. So, i'm covered when it comes to feeding it 250ohm's. I'm currently using a pair of...

Yeah, gonna be passing on the Penrose and instead opting for the open-back DT1990's and a pair of DT900 Pro X's for the Playstation VR2 & the upcoming Meta Cambria. the 48ohm should make them nice a loud for VR hehe.

So, they say that with USB 2.0, that you should not exceed 5 meters(16.5ft) in length. Yet by using a HUB/Splitter wouldn't that bend the rules a bit? I have a 10ft 2.0 Micro-USB cable coming from my Soundblasterx G6 DAC and sent into my HUB/Splitter and then two 10ft 2.0 USB Male A to Male B...

So with the Penrose, is it true that if you lets say, increase Bass in the EQ settings that it will overall lower the actual volume when maxed? Yeesh. When using my DT770's on my DAC(Soundblasterx G6) & USB HUB/Splitter that it's routed too, at times it will make my headphones crackle, followed...

Comfort wise, the Penrose were a nightmare imo. The Clamping force combined with the material of the ear cups, felt squishy, very uncomfortable and hot to the ears. I couldn't wait to peel them off even after 20 minutes of gaming. The DT770's were the clear winner by a large margin. It's like...

But if we're strictly talking closed back, and purely based on sound, would you either take the DT700 Pro X(or even the DT770) OR the Penrose? And i've got to say, the DT770's are the least closed back sounding closed-back cans i've ever heard. They almost sound open back surprisingly, at...

The Techne has a tutorial on YouTube on how to install wicked Cushions for the Penrose. :wink: What's weird though is that he said the sound from these cushions once installed make the audio sound farther away from your ears.. Not sure i'd want that... Anyways, best to just try the Penrose out...

Some guy compared his dialed in Penrose's with After market Ear pads to his Sennheiser HD600's. Based on my time with them, which was around 2 weeks I'd say they were kind of close to my DT770's....But the bass comparison wasn't fair since i had jacked the bass up on my Receivers EQ to +6 for my...

Or maybe it's just me being extremely paranoid. lol I'm super considerate and would hate knowing that my movie and video game tunes are penetrating through the walls and giving granny garfunkle the worst sleep of her life haha. I'm going to get both the DT700 Pro X & Penrose, and compare the two...

I prefer Open back too, but the insane amount of sound leak isn't doable for my current living situation(Cough, Apartment) I find that the DT770(250ohm) sound almost open back-like and are a lot more natural than the vast majority of closed cans i've experienced. Hmmm. To Penrose or not to...

I'll be ordering a Pair in the next couple of weeks. Based on my past experience the 'Acoustic Space and Sound' Preset sounded the best. Bass needs be increased a little in the EQ Settings, and the Ear Pads need to be swapped with something else entirely because those things were pretty awful...

When do you guys think there will be a wireless 2.4ghz successor to the Penrose? Something that's more expensive, offers better sound quality, Ear pads(etc) I settled for a pair of Beyer Dynamic DT700 Pro X Closed wired cans & a Soundblasterx G6 instead. I'll wait it out it just a little longer...
