Why do so many competitive Esports FPS players say IEM's are better for gaming than open backs?

Ex pro, washed now, but I think I can give some input. The idea was always big stage = easier to place, but having more recently used IEMs, even closed backs, I find seperation is far more important as long as the direction imaging is up to scratch. Something to be said about isolation no matter how

A Week With the FiiO M33 R2R

I've had mine for a week now. It's a wonderful product and I agree with everything you wrote. I also having issues with screen, sometimes when I scrolled into Qobuz app then it can think I'm adding or removing favorite it's pretty annoying. Also, I think they could put a bigger battery even if it's

Straight trade an HD 800 for 7xx or 6xx?

The HD 800 is an interesting "backup/travel pair" unless you mean you own two of them. But then it's still interesting to have an open back headphone for that use case. If it's your 2nd unit, I'd sell it, then buy something like a FiiO FT1 or Focal Azurys if you want pure sound quality, or even an H

Sennheiser 620S on sale at 299$ in Canada

The closest competitors are from Focal: Azurys (a bit more expensive even when the HD620S is at full price) and Celestee (quite more expensive). The lower mid priced closed back headphone market does not have many alternatives. We could add the cheaper and worst sounding HD569 or HD598C (closed vers

Welche 'veralteten' Dinge vermisst ihr bzw. nutzt ihr noch?

Ja datenübertragung ist ja auch nicht das problem aber die verbauten DAC's sind halt schrott und man hört es halt immer ob ein kopfhörer per bluetooth oder kabel verbunden ist, ob AAC oder LDAC ist dabei wurscht. Bestes Beispiel sind die teureren Focal Bathys im vergleich zu den Azurys. Und ANC ist

HDB 630s

Naah, HDB 630 is a better value, no matter how you calculate it. The only thing open-back can give you is the open-back soundstage experience, which…. is close to the HDB630 anyway. I got HD 560s and Focal Azurys and I’d always go back to HDB 630, they just sound very clean and the soundstage is qui

Looking for closed back headphones for recording vocals already own DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm

What others are using isn’t the one you should buy. What makes you think they made an educated or even a good choice buying theirs? Your budget is the key thing, but you didn’t mention any. $100 and $500 recommendations are pretty different. Sony 7506 gets a lot of recommendations, but check their f

What headphones do you use?

I go between 2 headphones and 3 true wireless earbud sets depending on where they are getting used. For headphones (which all really stick out on my balding head but at least they are pretty) I have the Focal Azurys for home listening mostly and sometimes portable listening. They sound great to me b

Why do I feel like IEMs sound better than over-ear headphones?

Two weeks ago I had a chance to first time in my life listen to the true high end, Nostalgia Audio Durandal and Hercules Audio Moses. Now It’s hard to unhear those hahaha. I like both over ear headphones and iems, However iems without a doubt do offer more value per $ spent. I still have and listen

Recommendation Needed: Gift to Hubs

If his office isn't shared with others, I'd grab a Focal Clear + Fiio K11 (non r2r). Very dynamic headphone with good midrange and microdetails, subbbass is quite punchy too. However it is open back so it will have a bit of sound leakage. Another option would be the Hifiman XS, which is going to be
