I have a lot of over ear headphones, but most of them are quite large and heavy (what can I say, I have a type). The lightest & thinnest headphones I own are the Stella's. I'd like to have a lightweight pair for 3 reasons: for the sake of it, for travel, and for my VR setup. Assuming there's...- kranebrain

Thanks for the response. Definitely intriguing I just wish the mobius didn't use artificial leather. In my experience artifical leather starts to flake apart after a few years.- kranebrain

My friends and I play competitive/hard-core FPS games. One of my friends absolutely struggles to locate sound direction in-game, while I'm able to pinpoint a gnats fart from 100 meters away.

What is the best (for the price) cable maker in the U.S.?
In your opinion who makes the best cables (custom or other) in the U.S.?

What are your preferences for cable company's and/or independent cable makers?- kranebrain

whats the absolute best open-back COMFORTABLE headphones?
Yeah you're right. Everyone said the z1r is a bad headphone but I love them. So I tried the hd820s and they didn't seem to sit on my head properly. As if they didn't seal. Why do you enjoy yhr hd800s?- kranebrain

I was eye-balling the meze empyrean but many said it has a veiled / stuffy sound signature. So in your opinion, what's the absolute best open- back headphones that are highly comfortable?- kranebrain

I recently received these headphones. I think they sound absolutely phenomenal. Neutral but very detailed. But holy hell are they uncomfortable. Anyone have suggestions to improve comfort?- kranebrain

Best / largest soundstage for closed back headphones?
