if anyone can help me i would love to know what inspired/sounds like this

not to derail the discussion but can anyone tell me why my grill has striations and how i might be able to remove them (assuming its even possible)

Thank you for all the replies! I am really curious what you have settled on recently or are you just rotating through your headphone rack to suit your different moods.

I have always had an interest in IEMS but absolutely despise how disgusting the silicone tips get after use. Do custom molded IEMS require silicone tips and what are the things that IEMS (especially budget ones) do that full size headphones cant ?

I am entirely with you on this aspect of trying to hear a headphone before buying. I think after receiving my 58x I have had to temper my expectations. I had been using a pair of tma-1s before receiving my 58x and had a hard time discerning between the two at first. I can definitely recognize...

I just received my 58x today and while I recognize its pleasant and warm sound I am really curious what a larger soundstage feels like. Is there anyone here that has any recommendations past a 58x? From what I have read the Beyerdynamics are the HD series opposite compliments.

Is it possible that the side cable is going into an optical port?!

Are there cables that go from optical to coaxial? Is the advantage of optical mitigating electrical noise from a PC motherboard? Sorry so many questions.

Just saw this listed on Amazon, looks like an modmic clone from Audio Technica. Is there anyone here that has had experience with this...

WOOF that was exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

Has there been an "official" comparison between the different manufacturing origins for the 58x? I am so close to committing to these as the overall reception seems to be so positive.

Looks like a nice stamped metal gimbal
