If I gently shake the right cup (just a gentle shake, about 1 inch side to side while holding the cup), there a knocking sound, like some plastic piece moves and touches something. It's not a rattle, there's nothing that moves freely inside the cup. The left cup does not make any similar...

Indeed, people could be referring to voice capture quality or noise rejection and yes, the Maxwell probably do noise rejection really well but the two are connected. Because the Maxwell has built in noise rejection, it tends to not play well with software noise rejection from app like discord...

What settings are you using in discord? The mic quality for me is quite average...

My experience exactly, word for work. I did waste a bit of time with the mic quality due to all the built in noise reduction which does not pair well with discord / zoom sound enhancement features. So just turn everything off in the apps and let the headphones do their thing and the mic...

Quick note about pads - there was a drop last year i think when they came with lamb skip pads. These are simply amazing. I dont find the original pleather pads uncomfortable, but the lamb skin ones are much much better. If you guys are looking for replacement pads, I think these would be the...

I used HiFi cable and ASIO Bridge some time ago, without ASIO4ALL since the DAC has it's own ASIO driver. (and also ASIO4ALL is crap). Now, about improving sound quality...really? I noticed no difference. I imagine something like this would have been useful a few years ago or if you have...

Oh i see, i wasn't sure what it did in buffer mode, that's why i was think of using it as +0db preamp. Could you please explain in more detail how both modes work and what the difference is? (I'm having a hard time finding a good explanation) Much appreciated.

I currently have this setup: PC > DacMagic 100 > Arcam rHead amp > various headphone. Interested in getting a Micro iTube 2 as a preamp (between the Dac and the amp) just for the tube sound. Any issues with this? Thank you.

@Mad Lust Envy Can you please provide a sound quality comparison with EL-8 or other headphones? Much appreciated.

I have absolutely no issues with my HD650. You should be able to find HD600/HD650 close to your price range. I've had them on for 8+ hours and i couldn't feel them on pressing on my glasses. Also, considering the fact that some people find that the HD650 have a bit to much clamping force and...

Massdrop Username: pshych0   I'd love to see Bottlehead stuff again and less restriction for Europe.

Using foobar + darkone + wasapi on win10 since launch day - works flawlessly.

Posting in a FSC thread...but i ordered the HD650.   Thanks for the input, much appreciated.

Appreciate the info, Arcamera. I have no idea which one to get :( Even with a good amp like the Valhalla 2, are the FSC and the HD650 pretty close? 

Hello everyone,    I would like to ask for a little help. In the last few weeks, I've read pretty much everything I could find online regarding the FSC and HD650 (and a few others, but I narrowed it down to these 2). In an attempt to keep it as simple as possible, based on SQ alone, which one...
