Astro A50 audio is rubbish when I compared with Sennheiser HD 560S

Those are Gen 4 then, not 5. Gen 1 to 4 were Pre Logitech. Gen 5 are great, got graphene drivers and respond very well to EQ and got parametric EQ in the app. Have mines with Stealthz pads and his EQs and they sound and wear amazing. I do agree the HD560s are great, I got the next level up ones, HD5

Advice on setting up a home theater with two sets of headphones.

I made the long post to this question in the home theater thread and recommend a few options. I think the Sundaras and HD 560s are both great options, my understanding is they are both more accurate then beyers but I have never listened to beyers. I also mentioned the Hifiman Editions XS which are t

Headset for psvr2

I'm gonna list what I've used with the Globular Cluster : Pulse Elite (wireless) : Meh, you have to put it under the PSVR2, not ideal, and not very comfortable. Gets very hot on the ears and head. On top of that, it puts pressure on the exact spot they are know to break. If you're willing to use a s

Wireless headphones for piano practice?

"Ultra-low latency mode with M1 transmitter (20 ms)" 20 ms == forget it. Under 5 ms could be tolerable. BT doesn't have enough bandwidth. Also the codec may wreck the quality. WiFi at 5 GHz could work, and one wifi audio standard does specify 2.5/5 ms latency, but isn't popular for headphones becaus

Meu DAC/Amp Endgame

gora é tarde. Já "aposentei" da fase de aquisição do hobby com o HD560s. Foi até bom eu não ter comprado, pq o Sennheiser é mais leve (e provavelmente mais confortável), mais compacto, dois anos de garantia, e é mais neutro um pouco, o que facilita a equalização (pra mim, pelo menos). Acho que termi

Hifiman shootout for music and gaming: Arya Organic, Stealth, Kithara

From Hifiman I have Edition XS, 400SE , I have also Audeze Maxwell 1, Sennheiser HD560S, Turtle Beach Stealth Pro, Astro A50. For gaming , the last three (Sennheiser, TB and Astro) are better especially in sound positioning in FPS. Unfortunately, from them 560S is a little too tight for my head for

Mixing headphone testing - London

WIth Oratory's EQ presets, they are kick ass. too bright ootb without eq however. They are 9.5/10 in com

This is an infodump safe spot. You can infodump about whatever you want in the comments :)

TLDR I'd say that for the best audio fidelity AKG K371, if you hate sweaty ears or just want perfect comfort for longer sessions then Sennheiser HD 560S. If you're on a budget then used Sennheiser HD556, 579, 598 and 599 are dime a dozen on the used market. They can be easily refreshed to like new c

Is HD 560S worth it for the first headphone?

Hot take: if you can find one for cheap, you can try the older HD598 to understand if the Sennheiser house sound is something you like. That was my entry point into both open backs and Sennheiser mid-fi, and their sound signature is somewhat more forgiving for novices. The comfort is also excellent,
