HD 6XX

I know this is heaaaaaps late but I daily between HD600 and HD660 S2's very similar sounding headphones with some slight differences. Both are excellent pairs of cans. I play various games, Rainbow 6 siege (which has notoriously terrible sound), Overwatch, Cyberpunk etc. Both pairs are incredible for gaming, I honestly wouldnt have it any other way! The sound staging for games is incredible when you hear a shot wizz past it can actually sound like a proper bullet or close to when the sound is mastered well in the game. Personally, I would definitely recommend either pair or HD650's for gaming EASILY. Edit: I also don't EQ my headphones, just can't be fucked, and I use a JDS Labs element 3.

Sennheiser HD598. I think I got them on offer for around £150 a good 15 years ago. They opened my eyes (ears) to how headphones could offer greater fidelity than HiFi speakers at a much much cheaper price point. I've since upgraded to the 6XX which is a clear step up for music even if not quite as comfortable. Seeing the 599SE on Amazon for £99 today makes me happy that a lot of people are going to be experiencing that same feeling for the first time.

Wouldn't the best solution be headphones with an Antlion mic? I used HD6XX with a modmic with satisfaction for a long time before getting a xlr mic.

Yeah, Hadenys is definitely an intermediate step up from something like the 6XX. I have them and like them.

If we talk about diminishing returns, you can’t really justify anything beyond the HD 6XX, but we’re all here lol

I find open back while playing instruments to be distracting, and the musicians I've had try them have agreed. So if that is going to be important I would stick with closed backs. The FT1 is a very cool choice. I find it to be a great value, but you may need to get pads and a head strap to help with the fit. Many have. Just remember to consider that in the cost. Their are a lot of option in this range, but you also can't go wrong with the tried and true sony mdr7506 either. Great for instruments and an easy daily driver for other things.

The Fosi doesn't do much to the sound other than provide more power. You might not need it for most things, but something like a dongle dac will choke out as frequencies peak and the impedance curve of the headphone gets very high. Something like Why So Serious? around 3:20 in is a decent sub bass test track that is pretty obvious when the stack falls apart. Superstition by Stevie Wonder has very clear cymbals and tambourines, that will clip and sound weird without enough amplification. Also the hd 6xx are 300ohms and really shine on OTL tube amps imo. Something like the ta-26 is a good start. lol, if you don't hear a difference between that the Fosi, you'll need to get your ears checked. Also, when auditioning new stuff; I recommend spending a week or two using only the 6xx and fosi as much as possible. Make sure you get well and used to what it can do on your head and in your environment. Then when switching to something else the changes are more obvious.

It'll mostly be about making a seal, and it looks like the Q30s have a larger ear cup so they should have a better chance at that. However for flying and over ears IMO you really need ANC. Plane noises are a thing. My dt770s are modded to have excellent passive isolation and i brought them on a flight once and it generally sucked compared to anything ANC. Perhaps a solid closed IEM? etymotics are fairly fantastic. Or a more standard option with foam tips? Although I'm not into IEMs a lot to be too specific beyond that.

Así es como deberían funcionar los auriculares según el manual. Asumo que los estás usando en el oído correcto (derecho e izquierdo). No parece haber una aplicación para iPhone o Android, ni una forma de configurar o cambiar los gestos. Por eso, todo indica que tendrás que usarlos tal como están configurados de fábrica.

It looks like it's poorly made and a risk to anything plugged into it. On the USA Amazon we have access to UGreen products which are still cheap chinese garbage, but generally have a reputation for meeting specs and being durable enough. Still, we have a lot of problems switching USB inputs at CanJams. When you plug in USB there's power, data, a handshake, all sorts of stuff going on. A DAC is not a PC made for USB fast switching. Even the best devices get annoyed with constant switching and often start needing restarts for a variety of issues. If the topping is working well for it. Great. You're lucking out. BUT, if you introduce a switcher, it might keep providing power while only switching data and a lot of DACs i've dealt with HATE that. When i can for peace of mind, I usually turn off the DAC before plugging/unplugging USB. Just food for thought.
