Looking forward to the review on the DSHA-3FN. I own the AC (Olive Wood) and that is one of the amps I am thinking about getting. You're right there is something very special with the AC that I haven't found with another headphones.
Awesome!! The DHSA-3FN is the best amp I've heard the AC on so far. I did recently work on getting two other similarly priced amps ordered for delivery to have the final comparison though. They arrive in a week or two. More to come!
Finally someone gets it. Metal is the hardest genre to get right. I think for technical genres without much bass, breakdowns etc. planars are the way to go. Think your big 4. Aeolus is pretty good for metal if you brighten it up a bit. I want to know if they will do an atrium damping on this one.
Thanks for the comment! It's been SO difficult for me to find headphones I truly enjoy for rock and metal. These just crush it and it's been great overall.
Zach is such a nice guy, i once mailed with him about some ZMF Earpads i wanted to buy for my TH900mk2 mod and he was super friendly and helpful :) Also using a perforated pad for a closed back headphone destroyed the sound of every headphone on which i tried it out so far :D this should prove how good that unique dampening system must be.
That's awesome! He and the team are amazing people. Truly passionate about what they produce and they are carving their own unique lineup in the market which is awesome
@@GadgetryTech already layed my eyes on Verite and Atrium Open, slowly saving some money for one of them, but they are hella expensive here in Germany due to tax. Maybe i'll have one of them on my ears by the end of this year :)
Thanks so much! I wasn't a huge fan of how I expressed certain things, as I feel I could always explain my thoughts/feelings better. I really do love this headphone though, so I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I personally stopped my search for closed back after buying verite closed, they do for me what you described about AC. Even more said their sound can be a bit changed by tubes, like I was changing power tubes and feel more of punch and energy ofcourse without loosing resolution. Was considering Atrium open but perhaps Caldera is a better choice if I decide to invest that kind of money
Hi! I'm looking to buy a new headset and I'm stuck between the Hyperx Cloud 3 Wireless and the SteelSeries Nova 7's, In your opinion which do you think is a better option?
Nova 7 has a lot more features for the money and is very easy to customize. The Cloud 3 sounds a little bit better, though you can't really customize it for console. Cloud 3 has a better mic and battery life, but no bluetooth sadly. It really comes down to what's most important to you!
In general, do you prefer the Atrium Open, Caldera or the Empyrean 2s? I am planning on picking one to pair with my high end tube amp for gaming + movies + acoustic + vocal music
That's a tough one tbh. I purchased the Caldera because it's one of the best overall headphones for the money I've ever heard. It's just ridiculous what it can do. You can EQ it to sound however you like too, in addition to pad swaps.
I'd say just different. Both are great in their own way. Atrium is more vocal/mid forward, with similar air. The Atrium Closed has much more bass impact if you want a headphone with more punch to it.
Great Video! I'm looking for a new wired "all in one" FPS/Story/Music/Movies headset which would you recommend between those 9 or other options in this price range 1- Logitech G Pro X 2- Hyper X Alpha S 3- Hyper X Cloud 3 4- Hyper X Cloud 2 5- Razer Kraken V3 6- Razer Blackshark V2 7- Steelseries Arctis Pro + Gamedac 8- Epos H6 Pro 9- Corsair HS80 P.S: I can't afford a DAC/AMP.
@@vahidghiasvand9087So tired of people recommending the Maxwell to literally everyone. It's double his price range, and it does have cons. They're heavy and fragile.
I have listened to a few of these: the G Pro X2 Lightspeed, Cloud III Wireless, Kraken, and Arctis Pro Gamedac The only one that I truly liked is the Cloud III. They sound pretty good and the build quality is very impressive. Note that the wired version sounds different than the wireless so I'd get the wireless if you can.
The Logitech and Corsair are overpriced and very middling HyperX Cloud 3 is alright Havent heard the Razer stuff EposH6 Pro Ive heard solid things about but havent heard If you can afford a Steelseries Arctis Pro, no idea why you wouldnt just save a little more money and get an Audeze Maxwell (especially if you find a repuatable person selling a used one). The jump from any of these headsets that more or less are the same to that is massive in terms of Sound Quality, and it has a great feature set
Quite well in different areas of course! Maxwell has built in DSP, so you can make it have a frequency response almost however you please. They have very different transient characteristics though, which can effect how natural the sound comes across. Both have their place. This is all not considering the fit, finish, build quality of course.
@@GadgetryTechgod forbid the geniuses over at Audeze learn how to tune anything acoustically! For a gaming headset it makes more sense to bundle DSP, but even their flagship wired headphones need EQing, and the iSine and LCDi series flat out do not work as intended unless they’re connected to an iPhone with the cipher cable and an outdated version of the app. I’m starting to think their engineers just aren’t that talented.
Can you make a Video of IEMs for fps gaming? High end iems for directing footsteps.. not just left and right, more like if footsteps coming from back, left and right back and so on? Would be amazing. With a finishing sentence if iems or overear headsets are better for this case. Thank you really much if u can do that
I'll make something along those lines at some point, but the sound stage/imaging performance is a little bit more convoluted when it comes to explaining how it works. I'll do my best to explain it in future content.
