Hello good people. So I’ve had these for well over two years but I feel even entry level “gaming headphones” give better sense of direction in competitive shooters. Is this something that can be tweaked by playing around with EQ settings and/or getting a dedicated audio interface? I’ve tried...

Hi everyone, thanks for any help in advance. My desires are as follows: > Precise imaging and detail. (I spend most of my time listening to soundtracks: Inception, Interstellar, The Last of Us, you name it. These will also be used extensively for competitive games.) > Comfort for multiple hours...

Looking to upgrade from my Audioquest Nightowls, cans with superb sound and sublime soundstage, but that factually suffer in the upper midrange (?) to lower treble regions. Recently I tried the Ultrasone Signature Studio, but man, they were super harsh to my ears. I am returning them as I type...

I prefer frequency response more than the spatial qualities of sound. Which one do you prefer?

Howdy! Does anyone know if there is a closed-back planar magnetic equivalent of the Sennheiser HD820? I'm specifically looking for a similarly wide soundstage and equally great imaging. The HD820s sound great (to my ears at least), but I'm wondering if I could get a bit more clarity/separation...

I've used the LCD-2 before, but it was wayyy to heavy, and I decided to get a new one soon. I've looked for the Hd800s, but I decided to skip it because it didn't have sharp, sleek imaging, which is critical to me since I'm both an audiophile and a FPS gamer. And I've found ADX5000, but some...

I'm kinda curious... Can the Hd800s beat it?

Hello! I am on Head-Fi since quite of time so far however I have never created my own thread. I already have and have listened several HPs, most of them were openback. I am on the journey with find the perfect closed back for me, and probably found one with I can live as a happy audiophile...

Hello, I tried posting something like this before but didn’t get many responses so I am going to try to make this one shorter and more to the point. I am looking for a good open back headphone that can be powered through the ps4 controllers headphone jack and I can use the v moda boom pro with...

Hey everyone, I have narrowed down my search of headphones to buy to these two pairs. I am in dire need of some comparisions of these headphones as I have not been able to find any. Would love to hear opinions of people who have had both. Would also like to know more specifically any comparison...

I am looking for a DAC that I could use for gaming and music within 500EUR. The requirements for the DAC are that it can produce a big 3D soundstage and good imaging, and works well with my current gear: Meridian Explorer 2 -> Massdrop CTH -> HD6XX/K7XX and hopefully upcoming gear I've helped...

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this... Until a couple of years ago, I could not listen to music with headphones because the image was always centered far to the left. It was not a balance issue caused by a loss of hearing in one ear. Any attempt to center the sound stage with a...

Hi All I have been watching your channel/reviews on and off for the past few years, really like your honesty and simplicity in reviewing method. My name is Iestyn and I live in Australia. I currently do not have much in the way of good audio equipment but looking to build that over time...

So I posted this in the Headphone Full-Size thread and realized I should've posted here. Even though I got some responses there, I wanted to try posting here too to see if anything changes. I haven't been on this forum in a while and (unfortunately) forgot about it when I bought my last pair of...

I haven't been on this forum in a while and (unfortunately) forgot about it when I bought my last pair of headphones but I'm glad I remembered about it a few days ago. I'm relatively new and don't consider myself an audiophile but I'll try my best to describe what type of sound I like. My...

Hi all, So like last year, we've made a video explaining the philosophy and testing methodology behind a couple of our tests, and this one is about soundstage and imaging. Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions. Sam

I really hope that this forum is good and I will not see something like "GO AND LISTEN TO THEM IRL" instead do me a favor and leave this thread. Only tech specifications and personal experience / opinion. I though that I found my dream web site - http://www.rtings.com/headphones. You can find...

This is my first thread and I did some research but couldn't find something very specific about it, sorry if I'm doing something wrong. Basically my doubt is: going from an HD598 to an k712 is really an uprade or a "sidegrade"? Is it worth it? I'm quite satisfied with the 598 for music but for...
