USB-C is the best choice?

Whether or not you will always hear the difference is another thing entirely, though 100% this. A lot of people get caught up in the technical aspects and what I consider largely marketing hype of lossless audio. I sure as hell cannot tell the difference between wired and a good Bluetooth setup even

My two open back sets

I own the Utopia 2022 and the Clear og. But I think im going to unload the clear og because I would grab the Utopia if I want that sound. The other headphone I own is the E3 which is very different than the focal.

Best money-no-object headphone amp setup for Fender Mustang Micro Plus

You will not connect the headphones via Bluetooth. That sucks because the delay is too high and Inconsistent for a guitar signal. The Bluetooth is for playing along to songs on your phone without a 3 cord setup. Bluetooth only works for audio because your phone can basically let the bluetooth get a

Fones de ouvido me entregam 50-70% da experiência sonora de uma boa caixa acústica, independente da qualidade, na minha humilde opinião

Bom. A conversa era sobre sistema Top. Extremamente compentente é outra conversa.E aí comparando com fones, caímos na mesma conversa. Da pra ter um fone competente com bem menos do que uma caixa. Um AirPods Pro 2 já é muito competente. Mas nunca será top. Se pegar a linha 800 da b&w, utopia da focal

Headphones for classical music under €500

My first proper open back headphones were HD660s and I was super excited to try them after seeing rave reviews about the clarity and detail for classical music. I very quickly found that I didn't enjoy them at all. I instead ended up looking at Focal headphones as I remembered trying the Focal Utopi

Meze Arta - New Flagship Headphones

I completely understand how daunting it can be to look at headphones priced at 3,000, 4,000, or even 6,000 dollars/euros. When you are spending that kind of money it is only natural to expect a certain level of refinement and peace of mind and it makes sense that everyone has a different threshold f

Get some headphones or some damn good speakers!

To be fair, I do my proper listening on Focal Utopia 2022 headphones + Woo WA7 tube amp + K11 R2R DAC with clean power, galvanic isolation, quality interconnects, and 24bit files - and It sounds genuinely mind-blowing... But I listen to it all the time just off my iPhone speaker while making dinner

HE1000SE really all that bad?

HEKse is a winner headphone, competes pretty fine against Focal Utopia, Meze Elite, ZMF Caldera and others. Also the newer black cable revision is tuned warmer and closer to Susvara, is still bright in treble, but very well controlled and balanced, overall a really pleasant listening experience with
