Hi all So I'm eying the Denon D9200 for quite some time now, I created an alarm via eBay that sends me new listings that rank on Denon D9200 from the headphones category. I paid attention that they all share the same images of the headphone, all showing the same defects. Is this a known scam...

I just found my old Geek Out 720, moved home so i went through all of my old bags and found that one :) Tried it on my 2020 i7 13inch macbook pro and it works, but it's not performing perfectly What I'm hearing are lags or holes where the sound is suddenly off and then returns in a matter of...

The peeled of pleather would keep making my ears dirty with black crumbles, couldnt keep using those

nope, bought this after getting a recommendation, but they don't fit well (too small) and putting them in place may tear the pleather exactly where it needs to fit in ,rending it loose and not securely fit... I also ordered this over a year ago but this one was too deep, changing the sound...

I'd just eat that ham :dt880smile:

A bit hard to tell tbh, but as far as I can see: no, looks normal Do you switch IEMs often? If yes then by hand or with that handy mmcx tool?

WARNING: The UTWS3 already damaged two of my headphones left earpiece: Shure SE846 and today it happened with the 7Hz Timeless. Something about that MMCX connector apparently isn't a great fit even when removing with a MMCX tool and connecting while holding everything straight and hearing the...

$99 Etys ER2XR

I actually don't think that they sound like planars at all, to my ears they sound much more like DDs Regarding tips, I find the Alza ones to fit my ears the best, both the Crystal and the Xelastec in my case. With the Shures I prefer the Westone Red or Blue tips that reach deep, for the 7hz its...

Please let me try to sound dumb Too :) Do you mean disconnecting the once the weird sound is happening, or just having those IEM’s unplugged in my ears until there’s a noise? I have to admit that I never listened to the IEMs without them being plugged in somewhere, that’s the true sound of...

To answer your questions: The noises volume does change, but is mostly louder than the music. It also happens without any music playing or just directly connected to the laptop (7hz > 4.4 to 3.5 > MB pro), so switched sources but not cable yet, will try and report. The filters are clean and the...

Question: On my right pair I'm hearing sometimes weird sounds. It happens very randomly and I can't reproduce it on purpose. Its hard to describe but it kind of sounds like a digital fart. Not really a pop, but kind of like when your ears were clogged with water from being in a pool, and after...

Exactly, as the article i posted in the initial post explains, it has no effect in the audible frequencies that’s why I asked about digital :)

I remember ferrite only as cores in order to increase the magnetc field of a coil, just stick that ferrite core through a core, but thats not the topic. Not sure if related, but in this youtube video () someone demonstrates interference picked up by the cable and how cleaners could help. On the...

Was it the same cable but with an added ferrite bead? To me the only time a usb cable made a difference was connecting a DAC with a cable that does just charging :D

Exactly, it's bits. That's why the audible frequency range isn't relevant as it may be with (analog) synths as I wrote. My question hidden in that pile of text was more about what EMI could be in a usb cable tasmitting bits if any, and what kind of order of amplitude frequencies are we talking...

OMG thats so 2012 ;) What HP do you drive with that? I mean, I'm sure the DAP by itself sounds great and is powerful, then adding a M2 may improve the sound (which i kinda doubt) and then that Cayin amp. You either have a very hard to drive HP or some severe upgradetitis which I'm more than...

So, what has the sound science community to say about ferrite beads? I was looking on Aliexpress for a double ended USB C cable and once I added audio or hifi to the search terms I found cables with ferrite beads. (example) I wondered what added benefit that could bring, if any, and after a...

For so many years I'm intrigued about those models, they stood the test of time and I'm willing to try shoving those deep into my ears lol Is the SR VS XR something that can be attained via EQ? Is the 4 worth the upgrade from a 2? Even that youtube troll Sharur raves about the 2SR I wonder if...

If you care about the sound then removing ultrasonics that have no proven positive effect on sound and may just cause distortion or intermodulation, then you should get rid of those. And it also has a psychological effect: once you don't have a high sample rate file over 44.1khz you don't need...

Oh my friend, I understand your search and can help you out, just follow my advise and you will find exactly what you search for. 1. Sell all the equipment you’ve bought 2. Stop visiting those parts of headfi where people subjectively describe changes or improvements in sound (most of headfi) 3...

Not sure if it was one of the videos in your signature or a similar one that made me laugh so hard when he reduced the bit depth bit by bit until noise was loud and clear, I think I started hearing it at around 10 bit or even less

So what is that BA timbre ppl talk about or crinacle mentioned in his comment about the ER2SE/XE 'Slightly less detailed than the ER4, but without the usual BA timbre.' Also ppl claiming that a single driver setup generqlly having a more cohesive sound compared to a multi BA setup (or any multi...

Well, the Fiio UTWS5 does not even support LDAC but aptX adaptive, will give you 53w into 16ohm, has an AK Dac chip, you can buy a 2pin version and then a 2pin to mmcx adapter to use all IEMs (or just the mmcx version if thats all u need).... Of course, BT on paper performs less good compared...

So the benefit would be that you don't need as powerful amps as with SE Dacs? Added that as an answer
