Hello guys, Currently, my speakers are connected via TRS, and the cable is dying and also catches noise sometimes. So I thought that maybe it's time to try XLR. My card has one XLR headphones out (it also has a TRS out, etc.). And my speakers have XLR, TRS & RCA inputs. I didn't find long "1...

Hello guys, Have you seen any links where somebody tested headphones' frequency response before and after burn-in? UPD. Well, I found this test: https://www.rtings.com/headphones/learn/break-in UPD2. I personally don't believe in burin-in, it's just this subject was raised in my recent...

Hello, I own HIFIMAN HE1000 v2 (planar magnetic). I have a passive switch that turns my speakers on or off, but it doesn't turn my headphones, when my speakers are on (and I listen to speakers). So while I'm listening to my speakers, my headphones are also playing. How bad is it for them? Let's...

Maybe I have a mid-life crisis & I've decided to make myself a birthday present :) What are the best over ear open headphones in $2000 budget (including taxes, i.e. ~1800-1900 pre-taxes)? :) My amplifier is xDuoo TA-10R, 2W @ 32Ohm and I'm not willing to change it. I love it. I've just got it...

Hello, I currently own a Magni amplifier, which I use with my Creative X-Fi HD card. I'm thinking of changing the card to Modius DAC. I'm gonna listen to music 80-90% of the time, using my Beyerdynamic DT-990 Premium 250 Ohm. Is Magni + Modius a good combination? Kind regards, Pavel

Hello, It's the 4th of July here in the US (Independence Day) and I'm thinking that maybe I should use this opportunity to upgrade my sound card (there are many sales). I use my sound card with Beyerdynamic DT-990 Premium 250 Ohms headphones & KRK Rokit 10-3 monitors. I once tested a Cambridge...

Hello, Could anyone compare these two? I mostly listen to Rock & Downtempo/Trip-Hop. I like when headphones or speakers can accurately play more sounds at the same time and generally I would choose a little bit warmer over a little bit colder sound. Kind regards, Pavel

Hello, I'm new to the forum, so I'm sorry if I'm posting into the wrong forum section or something..   I'm planning to buy new headphones soon, thinking about Sennheiser HD 600/650, Beyerdynamic DT 880/990 or something in this category.   I only have a laptop (with USB and HDMI), so I have...
