Basically the title, looking for the thumpiest mid-bass (I also want solid sub-bass, but it's not the priority) and I'm deciding between the 7hz Diablo and Dunu Koto Ito. While bass quality is important, I also just want some crazy quantity as well. Anything that will give me the closest feel to being in a room with speakers (I know IEM's can never truly replicate that, but whichever one is closest).

If there's any other IEM you guys have in mind, please let me know. Also I should say that I'm not willing to sacrifice literally everything else for the sake of bass, I'd also want a solid mid-range and resolution (although resolution is less important).

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I was looking into getting an R2R DAC for my HD 600's as I wanted to try out the sound in NOS mode, however as I was doing some research I saw a few comments on Reddit saying that the HD 600's in particular don't "like" the K11 R2R and that they sound underwhelming, sluggish, "off", etc. I was wondering if anyone else could attest to this? I don't see why a certain coloration would be uniquely poor sounding on the HD 600 compared to other cans. Is it due to the power/current output of the AMP itself?

If anyone could share their thoughts I'd appreciate it.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I was looking to get an aftermarket cable for some of my headphones, and I was wondering if I could get one that would fit for both of the ones I wanted to place the cable for. The two being the HiFiMan Edition XS and the FiiO FT1.

Would a regular 3.5 and 6.35 cable work? I'm looking at the openheart hifiman cable on AliExpress, and I'm not sure if it would also fit in the FT1s. If they don't, could someone recommend a good quality cable that would fit in both (if that's possible).

Thank you!

I'm not sure if any of the adjectives I used are actually real in the audio world, but I'm essentially looking for a pair of headphones that produce vocals that sound very smooth and full. I have the HD 600's right now and while they're amazing, I feel as if I'd prefer if the vocals were a little more smooth sounding.

Can anyone recommend a pair under 500 that would fit this description?

Thanks!

I know they're practically the same, but there are real differences according to most people. With that being said, which of these headphones does vocals better in terms of tonality? Also, I've heard that the 6XX/650 are slightly more "veiled", does this mean that the vocals are even further back than the 600's?

Thank you!

Pretty much the title. I like the stock tuning of the XS a lot but I would just like a toouch more mid-bass specifically. Can someone tell me how to add this via EQ? Not looking to use a preset because I really like how it sounds otherwise.

Thank you!

Alright, you guys were right, y'all win, the Edition XS really is that good. The soundstage and imaging are just so much better than anything I've used in the past, even the FT1 Pros which are often compared to the Edition XS. However, I've noticed that the directional audio is not the greatest in TAC/FPS games. I wanted this pair to be a gaming/HD 600 complement and unfortunately while they're a great complement for music, they don't suffice for gaming.

With that being said, can anyone comment on the Kithara? I'm assuming they're better for gaming, but how do they compare for music? Do they also have a wide soundstage with excellent imaging? How about instrument separation? If anyone could comment on it, I'd make a decision regarding whether or not I should return the Edition XS' and get the Kithara instead.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I've been meaning to purchase a headphone stand to free up space on my desk (and also for aesthetic reasons) but I'm worried about them compressing the head band pads in the case of the regular hook style stands, but also of reduced clamp force in the case of the Omega/wider stands.

Is there anything that won't, or at the very least minimize the damage done to my headphones? They're the HD 600s and FiiO FT1 Pros.

Thank you!

Everyone talks about how R2R DAC's impart a warmer, more natural and organic sound to audio, and I know many have attested to this in more premium high-end DACs, but what about something at a lower price point like the K11 R2R? Can I still perceive this "fuller, more natural" sound as people often describe? If anyone who's had both a K11 R2R and a delta sigma DAC to compare between, I'd appreciate if you could tell me what you've noticed in terms of sound differences.

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I used to use Focusrite ASIO drivers for my piano VST to reduce the delay, but I was thinking of selling my audio interface in favour of a FiiO DAC/AMP to better drive my headphones. However, I just wanted to know if the FiiO ASIO drivers are good enough as a substitute (specifically in terms of input delay).

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

Novice homecook here who is tired of having to pay money and wait a few days to get my knives sharpened, so I was looking into learning how to do it myself. I just had two quick questions before I get started.

Is the Shapton K0702 Blade, 1000 the same as the Shapton 1000 Pro? Link: https://a.co/d/08G2sTgl

Can someone suggest a solid, budget honing rod/steel? My knife is a victorinox fibrox.

Thank you!!
