just my 2 cents about gaming ... not everyone wants a gaming headphone with mic ... some of us want a great headphone for music that really works out in terms of soundstage, imagining or dynamics for gaming :D great review!
I have a small collection of headphones, of which the Phoenix is one, which I love. For the fun of it I got Sendy Apollo pads to swap on it and they sound amazing with those pads. I wonder if this is the Luan.
Clamping force vs SHP9500? The 9500’s are the only headset that doesn’t clamp my head making it pure comfort. Would like an upgrade but I’m very clamp sensitive
@@makunouchiippo816 Just wanna know because If "too much soundstage" that he said can come close like 80% of 800S soundstage.. then this can will be my go to for sure. (I love openback with huge stage and warm relaxing)
@@balllovewow Without testing these news Sivgas... I would still say you are expecting too much. Open backs tend to have more soundstage compared to closed backs due to their construction but you won't get that 80% out of a 300$ headphone. In the end always make sure to test them in a music store and not buy headphones blindly or else you will always regret it.
Have you thought about trying a pair of the Slate VSX headphones? As you are well versed in speakers and headphones, and these claim to accurately reproduce both types of sounds, It'd be awesome to get your take on them.
Speaking of comfort. I couldn't find factory pads for my harmonicdyne Zeus. So I bought dekoni fenestrated sheepskin pads (Beyerdynamic DT) and WOW they sound great. Not as soft as the stock Zeus but fit great and audibly make everything a little clearer and a little louder? Like I eq' d them. Should hold me over until I buy the Zeus elites or HD 800's.
Senn HD 800 are "difficult" to find a good sounding amp for? Aren't Fos TH 909 like that too? Maybe that should be a category? Headphones that need a specific amp. Being a snob is certainly one of the hifi categories. Then they can say you're using the wrong amp, & that's why "X" headphones sound bad.
How does the pad opening compare to HD800/S or the eggfimans? Those are the only headphones I've found till date that cover my ears completely without touching.
bought the luan's and they arrived today. the opening isnt as big as the hd800s they slightly touch my ears if they aren't sitting perfectly. but they give better leverage on the sides of your head so imo more comfortable than the 800s. in fact i'm returning my hd800s because of how comfortable these are.
Everyone...just get the Koss kph30i's with Grado pads. Take the original foam off and call it a day! I have 10 pairs of headphones including Ananda's. These are maybe a slight bit off the Ananda's but not by much. I reach for them more for some reason and the others are sitting in a bag in my closet. Fidelio's Sennheiser 58x...etc.
Sivga Robin and Sivga 006. kph30i with Grado pads just works! AND with a slight ear imbalance i can position each ear pad to get the balance i want and can't do that with the others. That's just another plus but sound wise....i still prefer them for my sonic pleasure!
Are there any big Big headphones with normal price? I need very wide and deep headphones for my BIG ears, for now I'm using Sennheiser hd 599 black ver. Almost happy but still little narrow and not enough deep, still my ears touching inside the headphones. I was thinking if Sennheiser hd 820 are enough wide and deep but the price is not for me and they need to be ride by powerful DAC.
For gaming I like two types of headphones. I don't do competitive. I generally like something comfortable, light and least fatiguing sound-wise for 8-hour+ sessions. If its any less than that I will use something boomy and probably i bit V shaped. Dialogue isnt too important in video games so I would not emphasise mids personally. I just want bassy explosions, punchy gunshots, and good separation.
@@Hijynx87 ah well he probably should have been more descriptive. I forget people on the internet think in extremes. Generally, even in story driven AAA experiences like God Of War. You still spend around 80% of your time slicing things with an axe and punching dudes in the face. As long as you can hear the dialogue you are good. In a movie, it’s obviously way more important. That is why the most important speaker in a surround sound setup is the centre channel. I did not say that dialogue is crap in the games that I play if that is what he thought. Lol
Personally, I'm part of the group that prefers headpones to sound different with different amps/dacs; what's the point in a varied selection of sound equipment if it all sounds the same? I'd rather have a collection that I can use like legos to achieve interesting things
Ah damnit I just bought the fiio ft3 and really wanted a 109 pro (ended up going for the fiio and a penon 10th anniversary iem). The ft3 is pretty damn good though lol.
@@ZReviews yeah it sounds pretty great, even compared to my xs. I gotta chill tf out with all of these audio purchases lmao. This has been a very expensive year so far.
I am stuck. I already have a warm sounding dac (DO200) + warm sounding amp (Asgard 3) paired with warm sounding headphones 1570 & 1570C. How much warmer can a tube amp get?
What's a good open back for Satan worshipping heavy metal music from the late 80s to mid 90s? I have the HD 600 58X 6XX Hifiman HE400SE Grado SR80e and like the 6XX the most for some reason for metal music idk why =( No weeb anime crap though.
Grado is a good company but the SR 80 sounds like they voiced it with their phono cartridges, which are not spotlit at all. Maybe they don't sound bright and hashy with those. With cd, I guarantee you the Hifiman 400i 2020 is so much cleaner that it's ridiculous. About 70% better sound quality. The Grado does have better mid and upper bass definition than the 400i. The 400i does deep better than def in that frequency range.
Two things. 1. Has anyone tried using a high quality reel to reel tape decks headphone jack (like a Tandberg or Revox) as a headphone amplifier with their cd player plugged into it? 2. Is it normal that my Hifiman 400i 2020 headphones start sounding stressed slightly above borderline loud? What would be a good upgrade from them? This would help many, as lots of people have them. Thank you.
You could look into the Avantone planars. I purchased them as an upgrade to my he-x4 which are very similar to the he400se, not too sure about the 400i but I’m sure they stay near the apple tree.
2:36 More likely because they like the smell of a specific dirty hair (and narcissism/egocentrism, because of the smug cartoon avatars, that also show an "unrealistic" mind, and smug attitude), like most gays probably like the smell of butt. I think it's often factors like that, at least some sort of make it clear themselves. (In reverse it's the exact reason what's off-putting about it to others, and even if it's not the "one thing", this is sort of the symbolic center of all, in positive or negative.) I think those who like oversized boobs (and put them on characters they don't fit) think of themselves as "heroes" and always right... (And they probably like sweat etc.) I haven't much more to say about that right now. My theories aren't all equally worked out or perfect, but I think furries tell everything about themselves (indirectly) just by looking at and listening to them.
I'd love to believe you but I did once before and bought the Theiaudio Ghost headphones you said sounded just like the Meze Audio 109 PRO. It didn't it sounded like shit and I wasted my money. Here you are shilling another Linsoul item. Funny thing I cant find that video anymore, wonder why that is?
Wow nobody I put the Ghost on said anything bad about them before. Also what it is right here. I don't remove videos and I don't lie. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L3519fG0uqg.html
