Which are those? I'm reviewing the Elex, and they're def 10/10 material. They're simply the best sounding headphones I've heard to date. I'd imagine the Clear and its ilk are 10/10 in their price ranges as well.

looks like the clear mg pros

i just copped a pair of celestee's and i really like them. lots of complaints about the narrow soundstage but it doesn't really bother me

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

Celestees are closed back though. I wouldn't compare closed back to open backed, even from the same company, the difference in presentation is too vast.

I can only go off what I've heard with the Elex which is open backed. It's special.

I am also reviewing them and in some points there are even better than the Clear OG!

Haha - I think this 1 word describes this entire hobby!

Yes they are the clear mg, they sound absolutely gorgeous. Just been watching streams to focus on audio for a few hours and I didn't know there was so much detail in warzone.

Have seen complaints about the width of the sound stage, and it isn't the widest, but there is plenty to make it sound spacious imho. By far the most accurate imaging I have ever heard.

Was worried about comfort, but while big and heavy they are really comfortable.

If you are looking for an end game music headphone that is great for gaming, I can really recommend them.

Question regarding the schiit hel: what bitrate do you set in windows? Since I use Qobuz, I set it at 24 bit 44.1, is that a good way to make that decision?

CD-audio is 16-bit/44.1k, DVD movie audio is 24-bit/48K, Blu-ray movie audio is even higher.
What audio are you listening to?

You should set it at 24/192.
It is the maximum offered by Qobuz.

If you're using it for VSS (in gaming) like Dolby Atmos, you have to set it at 24/48K. Lower and there's noticeable sound lag. Higher and it disables your VSS.

On my Jot 2 running solely Qobuz, it's as earlier stated. 24/192K

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

I've never noticed any sound lag and I put it at the max. I've never had any issues with the oversampling on any of my dacs except one which would bug out unless I kept it to 24bit, instead of 32bit. But other than that one, never had any issues.

Set it to the max and see if you hear ANYTHING remotely off. I certainly don't.

 

[Chastity]

I use 32/96, and use Redscape to mix and play my 5.1 DVD-A 24/96 rips.

 

[Dijitalism]

Perhaps a Creative Aurvana Live. I can't think of much that the controller can power. The internal amp is weak.

Cheers. Ended up placing an order for the PC38X..which arrives in a month no less!

Seeing how Sennheiser is selling off the Consumer Division, I am skiddish about buying Sennheiser in 2021, and after.
