    Audeze Mobius review / impressions

    Same problem here, bud. Also in the EU. This is my 3rd pair, so I've spent €100-150 on shipping alone. I've learned people 3d-print the yoke, but I've yet to do so. Audeze should make adapters so we can get Mobius cups on the LCD line headbands. Too bad their headphones are fantastic in sound...

    Oldies but goldies: looking for a decent amp for B&W P6. Schiit an option?

    I do apologize for disappearing off the head-fi map for 6 months ^^'. I'd like to offer you my thanks :)

    Looking for the better thunderstorm sounds.

    Thanks! I should have mentioned it, but I'd like the buy the recording, not steaming them. Would that be a possibility, you think?

    Looking for the better thunderstorm sounds.

    Yep, pretty much it. I'm looking for the better quality deep....deeeeeeeeeeep rumbling thunderstorm and crackling lightning sounds. I've bought a recording on Qobuz, but alas, whilst it sets a nice ambient, it's pretty distant. I'd like to be in the middle of it! Oh, and crisp rain and howling...

    Oldies but goldies: looking for a decent amp for B&W P6. Schiit an option?

    Hi there, Hope this is the right place to ask such a question, as said in title. Since my Marantz pre-amp is failing on me, I'm on the lookout for a new pre-amp, later on perhaps a speaker amp as well. My installation is second hand and, apart from the P6 speakers, quite budget oriented. No...

    Which headphones do you use for PC gaming?

    Fantastic. The tech is certainly there! Worth it very much and I can't praise it enough, feature an functionality wise. Nitpick: I wish it was insulated better. Either completely open or completely closed please: not closed, but you can hear your surroundings clearly. It's just the build...

    Question for the people that remember A3D: I'm -> <- this close on giving up trying to source a high end vortex card for a retro build, which was the whole reason for the retro build. Would you say Redscape offers similar surround sound simulation, or is A3D still undisputed after all these years?

    Which headphones do you use for PC gaming?

    My 2006 Beyer DT770 32 is still alive and loved by a mate of mine, and I daily use my MX330 600Ohm again because my 3rd Audeze Mobius broke at exactly the same place yet again. Moderately happy in combination with RedScape.

    Just received the HEL2E. Amazing little thing, though a tad expensive ( Am in EU and had to import from USA ). At this time it drives a Gen 1 Beyer MMX300 600Ohm. Sounds about as good as the G6 I had before w/o all the hassle. Just plug and play! Love it!

    Half Life Alyx

    Have played it on Index. Alas, I have a strong screendoor effect on that headset: I have pretty good eyes. Sold the Index last year because of that. Be sure I'll replay it when I'll eventually buy the new Valve high end headset! Hopefully by then we have a new HL VR game.

    Audeze Mobius review / impressions

    Well, mine just broke in half. My 3rd pair. €50 transport every time. In 2 years time I will have spend exactly the price of the headset on sending them back. @Audeze. please, PLEASE, have the new headband available as a replacement part. Ideally through iFixit.

    Bud, If I lived close to you I'd do that for free ( I like restoring shtuff ). Alas, I'm in Belgium. I hope you find a solution and don't throw the card out just yet!

    In this GPU scarcity, you might want to simply give your PC to a PC service for maintenance: Repasting and de-dusting as mentioned before My story: 2 GPU's later I figured out that the cards were absolutely fine but... Windows automatic driver updates screwed me over *in combination* with a bad...

    I read this once every moon. a recent GPU that 'died'. How is that? My GPU's usually last more that 10-15 years ( if I keep them that long ) Can you give more info? I *might* help.

    Hijacking the thread for a quick question: I'm switching from a Creative G6 to a HEL2 because I strongly dislike creative's software. Now, to soften the blow a bit, I'm selling my G6 locally ( Belgium ). What would be a decent price? I've had no takers at €100, and at €75 someone offered me €60...

    Audeze Mobius review / impressions

    Another quick update with the Carbon Mobius ( replacement model already, so about a year old ). After the inner plates of the headband came loose because of broken plastic in the screw housing( and fixing that with zipties, now the yoke is cracking so bad I've lost pressure yet again. I have a...

    Looks like im in the market of a €3-500 headset again, since my Mobius broke. Recommendations for mostly immersive single-player gaming headphones? I *was*planning a DT1990, but I feel like I'm spoiled by planars and I have no experience with any other brand. I had the DT770-990 range and still...

    Audeze Mobius review / impressions

    So, some time back I reposted very small cracks on the 2nd replacement reïnforced Modius ( Carbon ). I've treated the evry gently since then, I REALLY didn't want to send them back AGAIN. Hopeless: 10 minutes ago a the black left headband panel simply fell out when I picked the HPs up. The 2...

    This is for a multi speaker setup, yes? If not, how does that translate to headphones? ( focus on elevation ). I'm currently using a mobius with said Nx, and I'm curious if there's something universally better around yet :). Other question: I have this 600Ohm ( don't ask, I was stupid... ) 1st...

    People need to understand that most recording studio's and certainly gaming studio's don't use high-end home use gear and cables. They use professional high end gear, with different goals and design characteristics. I fail to understand how Tubes and these high end cables can 'reveal' details...

    I'd have to look it up, but the Hel and Modi had the same DAC, I think. The biggest difference would be that the Magni had more power? And no Optical S/PDIF ofc. Not sure what route DAC they went with the Hel2. Lemme see.

    I have the Mobius since Indigogo launch. I love them, and never heard better ingame audio/prositioning. But I'm on my 3rd one and even this one is getting cracks as well. They don't last a year ( I RMA'd the ofc, I didnt buy three ). So I'm on the lookout for another brand's headband/yokes to...

    A flagship audio player annouced featuring a classical design-Oriolus DPS-L2

    Yeah, about 10 times the price I'm willing to spend on a DAP, right now. Like most here, love the idea, price made me hysterical.

    Audeze Mobius review / impressions

    I feel the same way, they're fantastic, even coming from a (in 2014 ) highly praised Beyer MMX330-600 bought at the retail €300 pricepoint. Tech and soundwise they're amazing value for money, I find. Very subjectieve, as they're the highest-end headphones I own. I'm really REALLY thinking of...
