    Focal Clear Mg Review & Measurements

    How have you set up the EQ? I’ve found that lifting the lower treble (green) by a few db has the biggest impact. It really opens up the vocals and overall perceived clarity.

    Focal Clear Mg Review & Measurements

    I’ve had the MG for around a week now and recently picked up a Mojo 2. The Focal sound is what I’ve been looking for; dynamic, engaging, detail and clarity with an enveloping 3D soundstage. All of those qualities have just been enhanced with the Mojo using the lossless DSP. I’ve tried some of...

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    Thanks for the reply. I just realised that one of my external SSD drives came with a short thunderbolt 4 cable. Would that be any more suitable or will I need a certain type of cable?

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    I just bought one of these to use with my iPad using USB-C. Will I be ok using the USB-C cable supplied with my iPad or is it like with the iPhone where you need a specialised cable? Should be here tomorrow.

    Denon AH-D9200 - 2018 Flagship - Impressions Thread

    Nice! What would you say the strengths are of each headphone? And how would you compare the overall sound signature? Do you have more fun listening to one over the other for mainstream pop music? Now for the cliche question, if you had to let go of one which would it be? I’ve done quite a bit...

    Denon AH-D9200 - 2018 Flagship - Impressions Thread

    Does anybody have experience with these and the Focal Clear MG? How do they compare? I listen to a variety of music but want something that can really slam in the bass region for things like HipHop and EDM. How would you compare the way these two deliver bass? Your insight will be greatly...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Just removed the foam from my blue filters and wow! The clarity! Crazy how much they’ve opened up. I don’t know if it’s just in my head but the bass seems to hit harder and the top has so much more air. Love it.

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Any recommended DAPs for the SE846? Has anyone used these headphones with the M11?

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    This is a bit of a noob question, but if I bought a DAP such as the FiiO M11, which I have my eyes on, should I notice a significant improvement in sound quality over an iPhone XS using the 3.5mm adapter? Has anyone tried the M11 with the SE846? Is it a recommended combo?

    FiiO Mont Blanc/E12 portable headphone amp, 880mW, slim design, full metal case. Bass boost and Cross feed!

    This may be a dumb question but do the batteries in amps drain when the amp is left on with no music playing through it?

    best headphones under 400

    The ATH-ES10 is the best sounding portable IMO. It will give you the sound of a full size can on the go and it looks pretty sleek too. I'd recommend an HE-400 or HD600/650 for home use depending on your preferred sound signature.

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    I don't know if it's my brain adjusting to the headphones as Thujone pointed out, but they seem to sound significantly better than when I first put them on. I can firmly say that at this moment in time I am totally in love! There seems to be something special about the planar technology. So much...

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    I've been using these for the last couple of hours and I'm really digging the sound. The details are astounding, with the holographic sound stage I'm able to pick out the different instruments pretty easily. I am getting the slight "Tz" sound but it seems to have died down a bit since I first...

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    Still waiting for my pair to come through the post. Is there any way to find out which revision I have without taking the pads off? I've heard some horror stories of pads breaking when fitting them so I'm reluctant to take them off.

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    Should be getting my hands on a pair of these tomorrow, finally see what all the fuss is about with these planar magnetic 'phones. If I like what I hear then I may set my sight on some of the higher end models when funds allow.

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 - over the ear headphones

      Did you try the ES10 with ESW11 lambskin ear pads? Comfort is greatly improved while also improving instrument separation and sound stage.   It seems like you are really enjoying the P7. I may have to get my hands on a pair to audition.

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 - over the ear headphones

    I haven't found these yet to audition. Has anybody who has heard these had experience with the Audio Technica ATH-ES10? If so, how do they compare?   Cheers.

    What is better than the Sennheiser Momentum for the same price???

      Import - you can get them around the price of the Momentum's. If you can stretch for it you'd then get the sound of full-sized HP's on the go.    Good luck with the Amperior's though. They're very good HP's at that price.

    What is better than the Sennheiser Momentum for the same price???

      If you have no luck with the Amperiors then you may want to check out the Audio Technica ATH-ES10. IMO the best portable headphones available.

    Most underrated and overrated headphone? For a bit of fun :)

    All I can say is that the Audio Technica ATH-ES10 headphones are criminally underrated as portable cans that sound full-sized. I don't know if it is an availability issue but people are missing out big time.

    Audio Technica ATH- ES 10 Impressions Thread

    Has anybody else noticed that the ESW11 ear pads require an increase in volume to get to the same volume level as the stocks? I guess it's due to the increased distance from the speakers, but then I get better isolation. I have to say that I tried my stocks after a good few days with the ESW11...

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    These are going to be my first pair of open back headphones and the planar magnetics have caught my interest due to their presentation of bass. My current favourite headphones are the ATH-ES10's. Can anybody who has experienced both describe how they differ? Should I expect a significant...

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

      They sound similar but with stronger bass. I wasn't too fond of them but they sure do stuff like EDM unlike other phones. It's just that they are really limited with other types of music.   I personally have a pair of ATH-ES10's for my portable rig that also do EDM very well while being...

    You may want to have a look at the Ultrasone pro 900 for EDM, though they're not really versatile.

    Audio Technica ATH- ES 10 Impressions Thread

      I agree wholeheartedly. I wanted to try these long ago but they were hard to source at a reasonable price. I had to go for an open box pair to get them at a more justified price, and I am so glad I did.
