    Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread

    I got my XM4's last week and they have been amazing in every category except comfort. Before I return them I want to try them with silicone ear tips. My primary goal is to find the most comfortable silicone ear tips out there. The ones that I see mentioned the most are the Spinfit CP360, ePro...

    Best competitive gaming headphone under $500?

    I'm glad to hear from you since you had the same experience. I really don't need a mic since I have a Modmic and a Shure SM7B, but the Takstar would work. I see that the Pro 80 was replaced by the Pro 82, do you think it will be equally good?

    Best competitive gaming headphone under $500?

    I ordered the DT770 pro 250 ohm because it was recommended a lot along with the other Beyers for competitive gaming. I need closed-back for LAN party use. I've been really disappointed with the imaging on the DT770. I'm using Oratory1990's EQ settings and it's really difficult to pinpoint enemy...

    Best competitive gaming headphone under $500?

    Which closed back has the best imaging? I have a T40RP Mk3 and they're decent closed planars. I've never had an issue with my mouse or keyboard being distracting, but I do have quiet switches. I always find that the added soundstage and typically reduced bass of open backs is worth the sound...

    Best competitive gaming headphone under $500?

    I use both open and closed back headphones for gaming and I prefer open back unless there is some outside noise. I agree that from my experience imaging has been better with dynamic drivers.

    Best competitive gaming headphone under $500?

    I considered the Sundara's, but I read that while it has a decent soundstage, the imaging isn't as good as other options in its price range. I'm currently thinking of either the Tygr 300r or the DT990 600ohm

    Best competitive gaming headphone under $500?

    Thanks for the recommendations! I'm looking for something open back. I find that open back is better for positioning, immersion, imaging etc. I also have a ModMic so I would prefer something without a mic.

    Best competitive gaming headphone under $500?

    I'm interested in what you guys think is the best competitive gaming headphone under $500. Bonus points if it's also great for music. I'm ideally looking for something neutral, with no V-shaped sound signature.

    Best silver/aluminum desk DAC/amp around $400

    Agreed, I've only changed to the Shure pads, they're good as is but could definitely improve with some mods. I love my TH-X00 That's true, I just want something chunkier on my desk, the Schiit stack looks so weak Yeah, I've been recommended the ATH AD700X before but I think I want something...

    Best silver/aluminum desk DAC/amp around $400

    I currently have the Fostex T50RP MK3, Fostex TH-X00 PH, and the Philips Fidelio X2 I've been using the X2 for gaming and I would like to upgrade to something with better imaging and soundstage. I have also been wanting to add a good vocal-centric headphone to my collection. I have been...

    Best silver/aluminum desk DAC/amp around $400

    Interesting, this guy went from a Jotunheim to the Magnius/Modius stack and found the stack far superior: LINK Unfortunately, the Jot 2 is too new for there to be any good deals out there, and the version with the multibit DAC built-in is $600, which is over budget. Currently, none of my...

    Best silver/aluminum desk DAC/amp around $400

    So you think a used Jotunheim 1 with internal DAC would be a better option than a Magnius/Modius stack?

    Best silver/aluminum desk DAC/amp around $400

    I'm looking to upgrade my Magni/Modi Schiit stack. I will more than likely buy used. What do you guys recommend?

    Sennheiser PC38X won't work with my Schiit stack, what's the best DAC with a mic input?

    So I ordered the PC38X as my new competitive gaming headset and I thought that I would be able to plug the audio line into my Schiit stack and the mic input into my motherboard, but apparently this causes a bunch of interference. So, it seems like the ModMic would have been the better solution...

    Best dynamic driver Chinese IEM under $100

    I recently watched Steve Guttenberg's review on the T2 Pro and it got me thinking that I should upgrade my gym headphones since there are such good options under $100. I love the build quality on these but I'de like to have something with similar detail but more bass response. Does this exist?
