ANC and Introversion / Extraversion
Hi! Was wondering if there is a link between introverts and extraverts in their need for anc, noticed that people I know (extraverts) mostly want anc, not sure if that means anything but started a survey for it. (Theory behind it, extraverts are more easily distracted) Link...- Blinxat

New onboard, disappointed
Hi, I recently built a new PC with AMD Ryzen 2700X on a MSI X470 Gaming Pro Carbon board. It was advertised as Alc1220 with amp and all the bells and whistles. . Turns out it is firstly only half as loud as my old gigabyte mobo and the treble above 10khz is smoothed off entirely. I turned...- Blinxat

Focal Listen Professional
I must say I really liked the spirit pro, but the comfort was pretty poor. Looks like Focal has now made a Listen Pro variant (it looks like it has some sort of velour pads instead of pleather): https://www.focal.com/fr/pro-audio/enceintes-de-monitoring/casques-professionnels/listen-professional- Blinxat

Endgame portables?
What would you consider your endgame portable headphone to be? Endgame being a flexible term, I mean "best up to now" that you own. Consider SQ, isolation, features, build quality as you value by preference. I currently like the P7 wireless and was wondering what would be the next step up.- Blinxat

Bose SoundLink Around-Ear Wireless II
Anyone have an opinion on these? I got them today and I very much prefer them over the QC25 I had. The Sound is a touch more exciting and articulate in the treble. There is an emphasis in the upper mids but as a whole it sounds pretty balanced and not at all artificial. Calls work very good with...- Blinxat

Looking to upgrade from Spirit Pro

Over-ear closed cans with large soundstage?
Hi! I recently picked up this Denon AH-NC800 noise canceller with some cosmetic damage for cheap.
