105 AER

The pad system of the 490 Pro is actually a strength, not a drawback! You basically get two tunings - one more linear/accurate one that’s better for mixing or gaming e.g. (fabric pads) and one more relaxed/musical and even bassy one with the velour pads. That actually makes the 490 Pro very versatil

Hang out on r/headphones or r/BudgetAudiophile and you'll find lots of us. It's amazing how spoiled we are nowadays for good sound. A Qobuz subscription (hi-res streaming), modest headphone amp/dac (like from Fiio) and some mid-fi cans like Meze 105 AERs or Hifiman Sundaras and you're in the top 5%

I have a pair of Meze Strada and 105 AERs that I use with my Gunnr. Yes, use the y cable, if you don’t it will short the audio out using just the TRRS. Now the AER are open back, but they sound awesome with the Gunnr. Not much different than my Stradas. I tend to use those on my Magni, Lokius, Mimir

Si quieres algo distinto, yo te recomiendo que pruebes el Meze 105 Aer. Es un auricular abierto, muy cómodo, con un gran bajo, con unos medios y agudos muy agradables y detallados. Necesitas unas 60 horas de uso para lograr su sonido. El Hd600 tiene menos bajos y menos escena sonora que el Hifiman.

Love my Arya Stealth and was a clear upgrade from HD 490 Pro. Actually at that time I went from HD 490 Pro to Meze 105 AER which was an upgrade to HD 490 Pro and then to Edition XV which was an upgrade to HD 490 Pro and Meze 105 AER. I finally settled for Arya Stealth (even tried HE1000 Stealth but

Forgot to reply this, sorry! I’ve got the Meze 105 AER. I was eyeing up their bigger brother, the 109 Pros (and also fantasising about HD800S) but neither are quite within my budget haha In any case, these are still the most expensive cans I own, and they’re fantastic. It’s been really fun listening

I just got the 105 AER,it's a pretty sweet headphone. I was always interested in Meze and them going down to $299 was worth taking a chance on. I'm really not interested in speakers. I have my old bedroom system (B&W Nautilus 805s,Rogue Audio preamp,B&K amp,Rotel CD player) sitting in my closet. I g

There is the "Budget" version of those Meze's I own, they are called the Meze 105 Aer and are $300. They sound great out of anything and are a bit more bassy than standard studio headphones. They are open backs but are more like Semi-open in terms of bleed through. They are über comfortable, complet

I use the 490 Pro for competitive shooters, primarily CS2. They are incredible, perfect sound stage and you can very easily judge direction, height, and distance. I also auditioned a pair of Meze 105 AER’s which were good, but not quite as neutral and the top end sounds a bit misty. Both great for m

ive tried a decent amount of sennheiser headphones and your right they lack bass until i tried the sennheiser 490 pro, that had one has it all, unfortunately i had a pressure point on top and had to send them back. i am testing the meze 105 aer atm, the comfort is better then the sennheiser no press
