    Benefits of angled drivers?

    I currently own a pair of hd595s which have angled drivers. These have been used mainly for music and heavy gaming. I always thought the angled drivers helped with positioning in games since things seemed to be presented in front of me. I am looking for a closed alternative to these...

    Coming from hd595 - looking for a closed alternative

    question for ATH-CK7 owners

    Ive noticed these headphones are made of metal material and was curious if the wait exceeds normal iem/canalphones a lot. I'm concerned that the weight of them will cause them to slowly jiggle out, especially using them for active use or walking. Was also curious how the overall comfort was...

    IEM with least amount of microphonics

    Looking for an iem with the least amount of microphonics. I realize that using the over the ear method a la shure is a quick fix but would still like opinions. I was close to purchasing the ety 6i iems but was reading that they aren't so good with the microphonics. The um1s seem to be right...

    ok im about to FINALLY pull the trigger on a pair of headphones and was set on the 595's until i read that the 555s had some spatial sound reflector. After reading thru some rather hilarious threads on this board i can see that most of you have concluded that the 595s have this reflector too...
