I need some suggestions for Bluetooth wireless headphones for use in my woodshop. Currently using 3M brand set, with acceptable audio quality but need something better. Needs to work well as ear protection as well? Anyone familiar with a product that would fit the bill?

Placed an order for the Durgod taurus 310 with cherry red silent. Thank You!

BTW the EMU ordering is definitely weird. Hopefully the stuff shows up soon.

For now I ordered a basic cable like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HMSVBLG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hoping there is higher quality cable available somewhere.

Thanks dewey! Appreciate your input. Placed an order for the EMU. Will have to look into replacing pads as comfort is paramount. Will try the Asgard for now but will be looking to get the A90 in the near future especially if any sales happen as we near Christmas. Next up for trial will be...

Hi folks, I am setting up a new rig with iphone as source and need to transmit signal to Topping D90s usb in. Please suggest a good cable. Thanks

No one else cares to chime in or is my post too broad in scope?

pull out the switcher and see what happens?

Lagavulin 16 is my favorite as well. Prices have been going up steadily over the last year or 2. Ardbeg Uigeadail is a close second. Smoky. Smoky. Smoky.

No ceiling:) This is for work, will deduct as expense from taxes! I do want clearly visible contrasting letters, no need for backlit, usb slot on KB would be useful for inserting wireless mouse dongle.

Have been using a DasKB for years. While its very good and I like the clickty clack :) it doesnt work well with Zoom calls I am on these days. Need a good mechanical full size or without the numpad, but as quiet as possible. Please and thank you!

Stale, overpriced and horrible for the environment.

That doesn’t sound right to me. Lot of gain somewhere in your chain.

Thank you Dewey! Quite a lot you packed in that post! Should keep me up all night researching all the outlined options. I have been curious about the Denons from the last merry go around. Funds were a lot tighter then. Is there a discernable difference between the 5200/7200 and 9200 ? E-MU teak...

Hi Folks, I have been away from HPs for a while. Currently have a Dark Voice 336SE and Schiit Asgard (2011) amps. Also have an AKG 701 and Senn HD650. 701s are great at detail but lack bass. HD 650s are good all rounders but can sound dark sometimes. The setup will be placed in my...

Excellent Comparison!!   I have a slightly off topic question for all the folks who have had experience with the EE minimax. Anyone notice a hiss on the tube setting if the volume on the amp/pre is turned up? I have recently started noticing it after I had to run the volume at high. This...

I need some new material for my runs. Here's what I listen to usually: -  Bruce Springsteen - (Born to run in particular) - Deep Purple - (Highway star, Burn) - Rocky Soundtrack - eye of the tiger in particular. - CCR - many songs - Run Lola Run ST   Thanks folks!

Off the top of my head. Some of my favorites:   1. Grease 2. O Brother, where art thou 3. Dirty Dancing 4. Forrest Gump 5. 500 days of summer 6. Garden State 7. The Lion King   Forrest Gump is my all time favorite of the list. 500 days is what I have been listeing to a lot...

I need an amp to run all 3 of my phones well - AKG 701, Senn HD 650, Audeze LCD-2 (not yet here). I have used a ZERO, then a Darkvoice 336SE. I am pretty certain that the DV wont run the LCDs well. Using the CA DAC magic/PC as source.   I would like to try something that will fit in a...

My EE MM is currently burning in. Its not bright at all, esp with the tubes kicked in. Cant wait to tube roll! And for my nfb-3, which shud ship soon. compared to the dacmagic, its miles ahead in resolution...

Instead of trying to do it all at once, get one peice right one at a time. Start somewhere. Get a mid fi setup and save some money if u can. It will come in handy when u find urself afflicted with upgraditis pretty soon. See how u like a set phones and then go from there. Save the...

What do you guys think about the Denon D5000 thats on sale at a pretty good price on Amazon? Or do I need to pony up to the 7000 to experience a difference? Will that be an overlap with my 650s?   OTOH, Thunderpants might not happen for a while as the Fostex driver is out of stock still.

Quote: They Lyr seems like a great option esp at that price point! I hope it doesnt have the Hum issues that ASGARD suffered/suffers from. LCD-2... Hmmm!

Quote: Not an IEM person. In fact I strongly advocate against it unless u r a stage musician. Heard too many of my audiologist friends recommend against it. I dont really have an open closed preference. I listen at home in my study. In fact I might be up for trying a closed/semi...

Quote: LCD-2s arent ruled out at all. However I have heard that they are a beast to drive? I was hoping for you guys to egg me on or steer me away from that direction.   HD800s - wont they overlap my akg 701s, or are these a different animal altogether?
