Hey MLE,

I see on your sig that you have some emu teaks coming. Have you tried them? Are they essentially just denon d7000?

I think the continuation of the D2000/5000/7000 line was the TH-900. Then a lower priced model, the TH-600 was made and the EMU's came from that line.
All from memory way back, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Hey MLE,

I ordered them about a week ago. I think they take a while to get shipped, so I'm playing the waiting game. All I know is that the Emu Teaks are considered the best, post Denon Fostex-driver headphones, and I've heard they're the closest thing to the D7000.

I had the TH600 and TH900 are both are a bit too bright, metallic and piercing in tonal balance for me to have kept them. I'm sure someone who is OK with EQ, would love the TH900. I'm just iffy about altering a headphone's sound with any EQ. They're both good, but not perfect and less suited to my tastes.

I dunno. All I've heard these are the closest thing to the Denons. Better than the Drop TH-X00 variants.

I'm just iffy about altering a headphone's sound with any EQ... not perfect

That's a strange thing to be iffy about, for someone who's into headphone positional audio. Not only the overall FR, but the FR and even the timing of sound from every incident angle should ideally be customized to you, for the best experience. There's no way in heck that ANY pair of headphones off the shelf can be "perfect" for you in these regards and what "perfect" constitutes in the headphones would depend a lot on exactly what positional audio algorithm the sound went through.

I just mean that I like to hear a headphone's inherent sound for better or worse, and feel weird about adjusting it. It's the same thing with pad swapping. I hate doing it because it tends to mess with the intended sound of the headphone.

I'm not the only one that feels that way. Many people against EQ. I think if you're fine with EQ then there's many great headphones that only need slight tweaking, like the TH900.

Like I think the only thing the LCD-1 needs is a mild bass boost since it's almost perfectly neutral (slightly lean on bass) otherwise, and it'd be super ideal. Even with that I still don't do it.

Does anyone have any experience with the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro?

 

[trix3072]

Yeah I certainly don't believe it can power speakers. Powered speakers connected to it, sure, but passive speakers, hell no.

Definitely look into the Creative X7 Limited Edition (the white one), which has power for passive bookshelf speakers at least.

Hey MLE, I've read the Redscape audio review, and how is it compared with the Dolby Atmos? Also, can headphones that already have a vast soundstage benefit from this? I also want to know if I can apply EQ as well as the 3D audio.

 

[deadchip12]

Is using an open back pair of headphones like the x2hr + sound blasterx g6 on the ps5 better than the sony pulse headset, given that 3d audio can pass through both?

 

[Rhadamanthys]

I noticed that Redscape's passthru mode still modifies the output. Waves NX will passthru just fine. I'll email the dev and see what is up. @Mad Lust Envy can you test on your end?

EDIT: seems to be some Volume Leveling is still being done. Hmm, seems to be happening with Waves NX too. Confused. Maybe it's a Windows thing.

There's a passthrough mode in Redscape? Where?

I enjoyed the teak more than any of the x00 variants, although the purple heart and ebony are very good. I feel that the bass in the teak has just that extra bit of control that I wanted, while still being strong.

Hi, are there any cable replacements for beyerdynamic mmx 300 gen 2 ?? The original ones are expensive, the one with 2 jacks needs it.

I think it uses 3.5mm right? Can't be hard finding a cheap alternatives.

Maybe this one will work.

 

[Rozzko]

Thanks.

few questions:
1) does anyone playing with IEMS? Interesting is CAMPFIRE ANDROMEDA. How they good for gaming?
2) what headphones (closed) better (under 500$) than MEZE 99 classic? Only closed

?

1st button on left is enable/disable button. (Looks like a power button)

Oh that you mean, got it. And thanks for reaching out to the dev.
