Regret buying...

I have a similar feeling with my hd6xx vs Ananda nano. I upgraded from sundara to Ananda and said to myself I wanted a dynamic driver too for different use cases. And a closed back dynamic. Outside of the first month or two of owning the new headphones I found I prefer the nano 99% of the time. I do

Soovitage häid kõrvaklappe. Minu jaoks tume maa, ise ei kasuta, aga tahaks kingituseks osta. Eelarve max 200€, kindlasti peavad olema suured klapid, mitte kehaõnarustesse topitavad nööbid.

Avatud: Sennheiser HD 560s või HD 599; HIFIMAN Sundara, vanem mudel, aga neid võib leida soodukaga alla 200. Mitte segamini ajada uuema closed back versiooniga. HIFIMAN puhul kvaliteedi kontroll küsitav, aga hea sound. Suletud: Beyerdynamic DT 770; FiiO FT1

I just "upgraded" my R3 II for a Fiio M21. Not happy at all.

More power doesn't equate to an improvement in sound, plus at 98db/1mW and 30ohms the Fidelio X3s aren't too hard to drive anyway. You would see the benefit from something like the Sundaras instead for example. Unfortunately, this is probably a lesson to audition possible upgrades first, or at least

Got an upgrade

I'm a simple person, I see Sundaras I upvote. Not really familiar with on-ears but I assume you'd have to spend a fair bit more to approach the detail and textures of the Hifiman cans.

HD 650

Almost anything is going to be a big step up for you. I personally wouldn't recommend the 650 for competetive gaming; they're perfectly competent but I'd probably want something with slightly wider soundstage and similar layer separation like the Hifiman Sundara or Fiio FT1 in this price range, or t

If I enjoy the 560s what other sennheiser headphone can elevate my listening sessions ?

They’re a perfectly good intro headphone, but there’s a lot out there that works way better, at least for me! The Hifiman Edition XS is a really good headphone for soundstage and detail and is selling around $200 these days. I personally like the Hifiman Sundara a little better for its more mellow t

Are the Sennheiser 490 pro better (factually) than the BeyerDynamic 990 pro?

Firstly, whatever you get you should EQ your headphones. You can start with a target like harman 2018, but the idea is to have something that you can mix into, and know that it will translate across other systems. It takes mixing, checking, tweaking. Second, the kiwi ears altruva with eq will match

Seeking a recommendation for over-the-ear headphones 🎧

For what? If you're at a desk or couch, I recommend the Hifiman Sundara powered by a Schiit Asgard 3 or higher. Incredible. Bought used as a foray into non-portable/noise cancelling and my mind is blown

Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen + Headphone Amp + DT770 troubleshooting

If the headphone amp volume knob brought in the distortion, then it isn’t capable of driving the Beyers either. Sell it at FB Marketplace so you don’t have to try to figure out the ground loop that caused the humming. So you think you want “flat” headphones? Unfortunately there aren’t any. It’s quit

VSX vs. high-end open backs (max 1000 euro): How do you build a reliable reference in a terrible room?

Any VSX will work. If you want something else, I’d recommend the Hifiman Sundara Open, or, if you want the most powerful low-end representation available right now, the Hifiman Ananda Nano. But you need to EQ them, so you’ll have to do more research to tune them correctly. You need a headphone amp.
