    iMac 24 inch M3 / Are the audio dropout issues that plagued the M1 Macs solved?

    Many thanks! That is a bit reassuring.

    iMac 24 inch M3 / Are the audio dropout issues that plagued the M1 Macs solved?

    I am considering buying the latest iMac with the M3 chip. However, I am concerned about the audio dropout issues that apparently plagued the macs with the M1 and M2 chips. I haven't found any consensus online what is causing these issues, some think it is related to the chips used, other think...

    When is Headphone “High End”

    A pair of headphones that sit really high on your head. People with big heads have an advantage.

    Headphone collection list

    I can read this post two ways: 1. A celebration of every pair of headphones you own. Every pair has its own unique character and not one pair is ultimately better than the other. I agree in the sense that I can enjoy every pair I own on their own merits. But I could not rank every pair as S...

    The Drinking Fountain - Full-Size Headphone Discussion

    I may audition them when I get the chance. I have liked AudioQuest NightHawks (they were once my favorite pair of headphones) and still enjoy the NightOwls very much, so an eccentric tuning doesn't bother me the slightest :)

    The Drinking Fountain - Full-Size Headphone Discussion

    No I haven't heard the ADX5000, they are well above my budget LOL. But from what I have read is that the ADX5000s are extremely detailed and brightly tuned pair of headphones, similar to SennheiserHD800s.

    The Drinking Fountain - Full-Size Headphone Discussion

    I think I have found my final pair of headphones. Yes, I have had this thought many times over the years and then still ending up buying another pair out of sheer curiosity. But this time it is real. I have been using the Audio Technica R70Xs exclusively, non-stop for over half a year already...

    Where is the price/performance "sweet spot" in your opinion?

    To be frank I never heard a true high-end pair of headphones partnered with a high-end DAC and amp, but I have heard a couple of 1000-1500 USD-ish headphones and in my opinion they didn't sound that much better than a 300 dollar pair. Technicalities like detail delivery and resolution are not...

    New Beyerdynamic Pro X line: DT 700 Pro X and DT 900 Pro X

    And there a lots of threads on Reddit, which I think am not allowed to post links from on this forum. Just google DT700 of 900 Pro X head cushion issue.

    New Beyerdynamic Pro X line: DT 700 Pro X and DT 900 Pro X

    I am pretty interested in the DT700 Pro X, but as long that headband padding issue is not resolved I think I'll pass. 233 euro is just too much money for this issue to happen, after only a few months.

    better than hd650 for vocal music?

    If you don't mind a claustrophobic soundstage and if you can find them on the used market, the Sennheiser Momentum 2 (wired) are excellent for vocals.

    Has anyone actually tested the burn-in myth?

    The so called burn-in or break-in applies to me every time my ears have adjusted to the sound. This break-in is an on going thing in my life, because every time I switch from one pair to another it starts all over again :) But when I remove my 'adjusting to the sound' out of this break-in...

    Rank the Headphones that You Own.

    1. Audio Technica R70X. The most natural, balanced and all round pair I own, excellent for any type of music. Non fatiguing, but still with good impact and some warmth. 2. Sennheiser HD650. Similar to the R70Xs, but marred with inferior soundstage. Timbre is unmatched though. 3. Philips Fidelio...

    ATH-R70X, K712, HD600, Sundara

    I think the R70Xs are the most all-round. They have good soundstage, excellent imaging, a natural, pleasantly balanced tonality and some warmth. To my ears they are the most unfatiguing of the bunch. Both K712s and Sundaras have a wider soundstage, but I find them to lack a bit of 'soul'. They...

    I got the Phillips Fidelio X3 a couple of days ago... and I can't decide if I loathe them or if they're just ok.

    There is dedicated thread about the Fidelio X3 on this forum. They are not as much loved as the X2HRs were/are but the hate they initially got have been balanced by some appreciation the last couple of years. I was one of the 1st on this site who got them and I still like them a lot...

    Avantone : Pro Planar

    The imaging of these headphones is superb, resulting in a true sense of soundstage with remarkable depth and layering. They perform better than the HD650s and R70Xs in this aspect. Their timbre is smoother as well, but they do have a bit of shout in the mids. Musically I think they are on par...
