Update on my headphones comment from yesterday, I ordered the Audio-Technica ATH-R50x. Less than 200 bucks so not that expensive all things considered. I've never used open back headphones before but they probably suit my needs better since I prioritize comfort and don't care much for noise cancelat

Detail your Audio Journey!
I started with audio when I was 15 when I used my paper route money to buy a Eico tube preamp and power amp. I had speakers from two different companies, including one that was an old Warfdale. Later on, in 1977/78 I eventually worked for a stereo store. During that time, my systems were Luxman & Ad

Iso closed back headphones for recording bass covers but also for everyday use
You only really need closed-back headphones for recording vocals. This is because open-back headphones will have too much sound escaping from the headphones that then gets picked up by the microphone that's only 5-10 inches in front of the vocalist. When you are recording bass or electric guitar, wh

Anyone help with buying budget player and headphones? I’ve never used any before. I need something for beginner
If you already have a smart phone, you can just get a dongle DAC. I have the HIBY W4 ($99 US) which I can use either wired or Bluetooth wirelessly. It has plenty of power. For headphones, I would suggest a refurbished HIFIMAN XS or Sundara ($140 to $190). A lighter, sturdier open back would be Audio

HD 480 Pro
Oh yes, I am newer to the hobby but I have compared back and forth my couple of inexpensive open backs with the momentum 4, a couple of earbuds and IEMS I understand we shouldn’t compare passive to active headphones, but when talking specifically about what sounds better, that shouldn’t matter. For

Proper headphone such as Audio Technica ATH-R50X or Sennheiser HD560s is miles better. But cod has shitty audio design, good headphones can't fix that

Wired headphones for video editing recommendations
Also the Audio Technica R30X and R50X are good choices since they're pretty lightweight, which helps in long editing sessions. Though their cups are a bit smaller than the Sennheiser ones for example (the HD 550/505/560s are all great choices as well), so it may press on the ears, but if it fits, it

semi-affordable, comfortable mixing headphones recommendations?
using peace + apo on your computer and ajdusting it to harman is very easy, you just find it in the list and choose the headphone you are working with.. it is automatic practically. anyways, i would recomend Sennheiser 560s, coz open ear headphones are much better for music production.. you don0t re

saran headset wireless dibawah 2 juta
2,5 juta - Audio Technica R50X - Wah ini sangat cakep. compared to hd560s lebih ada air nya. tapi fittingnya jauh lebih enak. less swivel error, walau earcupnya agak lebih kecil dari hd560s entah kenapa lebih enak aja. lekukan bahan padsnya. dan padding headbandnya juga better. Ini di bawah R70x yaa
