Hello all, been eying the Valkyrie MKII's as a bass head iem to reach the lows necessary for today's hip hop. Will they do the trick? Or perhaps the Bravado's, since they are considerably less expensive?

I'm a month in on my Arya SE's and enjoying them very much. At the risk of causing a riot, very much prefer not to eq. I mean, I tried it. But after hearing the difference, it seemed kinda silly to eq them to the point where what makes them them, is no longer there. But to each their own I...

Thanks. Yeah, I’m not so precise with terminology I guess. I have an micro idsd black label dac/amp combo thing.

Campfire Cascade - bass from hell in a bad way or in a whole lotta bass way?

Both Sonys are closed-back

Thanks for such an in depth response. Conceptually, your explanation regarding the initial problem makes total sense. FYI, I am connected via usb is that matters. I’ll likely stay on direct audio to avoid the headaches that I used to experience.

Not sure how many people out there still using iTunes to stream Apple Music but I recently stumbled upon a solution to this weird quirk I encountered when playing music on my PC (Windows 10) in iTunes. It's sorta hard to explain, and there may be multiple triggers, but here goes. The general...

Open-back headphones are great. In most ways, they set the standard for audio quality/detail. But try as the might, it seems to me that they can’t really keep up with modern hip hops bloomy bass lines. I’m sure some come close. In terms of bass slam, make your head rattle and shake, which...

Oy. I understand the Q, Gain, and Frequencies. No idea on the BW/S, Deviation from Target, or Preference rating? Not sure if those are setting I need to put somewhere or outcomes of some sort?

So I've been digging a bit on equalizing, thinking that I was more or less stuck since I use apple music. Apparently that is not the case; I discovered that the Peace EQ actually does work when using a PC. I've looked around a bit online, and the eq itself has some auto options. But I must...

Thanks. Can confirm that they are a little brighter than expected, though still pretty good to my ears. Will continue to break in over the next few weeks.

I’m on day 2 of the Arya SE, having made the jump from the Sundara 2020. I’ve done a little back and forth to get a sense of how much better the arya is, hoping not to be disappointed. I’m more of a novice audiophile but you can clearly hear the difference. The arya just feels more expansive...

Selling used Hifiman Sundara 2020 edition. I’ve taken good care of them. There are some micro blemishes on ear cup I think. Just trying to be as honest as possible but I’d say these are good to excellent condition. Ear cups in good shape. Come with box and original cable and 3.5 adapter.

I didn't know they had any that can be used with headphones? Thanks.

I've been curious about my typical listening level and am wondering if there is a way to figure it out if I know max decibels (based on amp power) and assume the knob works on log scale. According to Ifi website, my amp-headphone combo max (I believe) is 123 db. I generally listen between 11...
