    Soundstage Is (Much) More Complicated Than You Think

    I don't often drop articles / reviews in the sponsor section but this article from @listenerwww is too good not to share with all of you. Soundstage Is (Much) More Complicated Than You Think Many listeners end up disappointed upon hearing the best headphone soundstage, realizing it's not as...

    Largest Soundstage Amp/Dac

    Hi, I am new to the forum as I thought it was time to get some help and opinions. It can get quite pricy having to purchase the devices and pay for shipping and customs. Usually I just watch or read reviews with a side of ChatGPT but I thought it might be best to speak to some people. I have...

    Pink noise volume pan for evaluating stereo imaging

    As a mere hobbyist with an interest in measurements and binaural head-tracking, I wish to clarify my assumptions regarding how stereo imaging works or what constitutes "objectively correct imaging", and hence how this would guide this imaging evaluation method I describe. tl;dr: Is stereo in...

    Best Sound Stage: $1000-$2000

    I am looking for the best possible soundstage headphones between $1000-$2000, not including amp/DAC. Will pay extra if necessary. My instinct says HD800S. I love my HD598s. Feel free to recommend amp/DAC setup as well. Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Headphones With Best Soundstage In All Directions?

    I’ve been using an hifiman Ananda for almost two months now and enjoy the signature, imaging, and soundstage. I would describe the soundstage as vertical/tall sounding. But not a lot of action from left to right. I got to demo the HD800s yesterday for about 30 minutes and was left a bit...

    Best Summit-Fi Headphones for PC Gaming?

    Hi all, I am on the hunt for a pair of endgame audiophile gaming headphones. Most of the places I looked, I see people say Sennheiser HD800S is the best for gaming as it has the widest artificial soundstage. I did own a pair of that and didn't quite like them as much compared to my Meze...

    Recommend, Moondrop kato vs 7hz timeless which is better for soundstage and imaging?

    Hi I am a new member here. I am planning to finally upgrade from Fiio fh3 to a bit better gear. I am aware of the sound characteristics and technicalities of both Moondrop kato and 7hz timeless. I need one with better soundstage and imaging. So please let me know which is better. Thanks.

    Tripowin Olina vs Shuoer S12 or something else? Or should I swallow the cost and buy a tribrid?

    Hey, I'm kinda stuck. I didn't like my ThieAudio Legacy 3 and want to upgrade to another IEM. What I disliked the most was lack of detail and treble. Without EQ they sounded bloated AF to me, after Qudelix 5K + AutoEQ to Oratory target they sound good but the general technicalities aren't...

    Can A Graph show IEM Soundstage: maybe so!

    I ran across this: https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=159192.0 Which is actually Rtings.com's scheme to measure heapdhone stage. Obviously this is intended to apply to big over the head headphones. Still, I applied this theory to IEMs I've listened to and have graphs available and...

    What are three Good 'Schiit-Grade' First IEMs (with Soundstage!) to try?

    Title pretty much says it all. I'm new to everything, wanting to try IEM's to see if I like 'em. I tend to go for the entry to mid-grade stuff that punches above it's weight class initially while I get a feel for stuff. Then if I upgrade to something else or try something else I have a...

    Something similar to Nightowls but with better 1.2 khz to 10 khz response

    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...

    Liquid Platinum tube amp & AKG K702: Tubes for soundstage?

    I am in pursuit of the ultimate wide soundstage setup. To that end, I picked up a used K702, and it's already incredible. But yesterday I also snagged a good deal on a Liquid Platinum tube amp. It's my first tube amp, so I'm very much a tube newbie, but it's my understanding that there are tubes...

    suggestion? good: mids, discants, soundstage, use:computer, phone. over ear, closed.

    Hi, I had a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 931 250 Ohm that I liked. They deteriorated at the end and did not produce as good sound as when I bought them. Now I'm looking to buy something similar but closed if it is possible. My budget is around 200$ or 200Euro. I would like to be able to drive them...

    What do you prefer more: frequency response or imaging/soundstage?

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

    Sennheiser HD820 Planar Magnetic Equivalent?!?

    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...

    Best Music for Large Soundstage Headphones

    I have a couple of good "medium soundstage" cans, the Neuman NDH20, and the Grado RS1e. For me, coming from the non-hifi world, their staging(size and accuracy) was very impressive and enjoyable. I'm currently saving up to buy an HD800 S so I can hopefully experience that sensation taken to it's...
