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

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

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

I'm thinking of buying the Sennheiser HD 480 Pro, but there's a problem...
I really think that Focal messed up with the pad material of the Azurys. I sold mine ultimately because it was too soft and pillowy despite it’s graph.I think that Hybrid pads would both isolate better and make the bass snappier and more tidy, with better top end clarity.

Isolation was not that big concern of mine, it was enough with music on. The lacluster dynamics were though. I heard so much praise for „focal dynamics” and Azurys is just NOT that. I recently had a chance to try their older screechy, plastic model the Focal Listen and that thing HAD those dynamics
