Tech Gadgets

for context, I’m relatively new to the hobby. most of my experience is trying my friend’s HD6XX in his schiit stack along with a few budget options and IEM’s I had a few good gaming headsets but that’s about it (GSP600 is my favorite in that category) I had bought some logitech gpro x2 wirelesses because I do like to move around while talking especially since that’s how I take my notes. not even a month in the cheap piece of crap stopped working on it’s own. so, I did some research and land

Very Disappointed, Cancelled My Order For Bokeh Closed | $150 Headphones Have Beaten Them | Need an Explanation — Recently, I had an opportunity to try out ZMF Bokeh Open LTD Torrefied Limba and I compared them to my DT 770 Pro 32 Ohm for $150.

Hello everyone, and happy Tuesday evening! 😊 First, I just wanted to say thank you for the overwhelmingly positive response to the recent video featuring my friends trying out some headphones. It’s been really encouraging reading everyone’s comments on both YouTube and Reddit, and I’m genuinely happy to hear that so many of you enjoyed the format. Here’s the video, in case you missed it: https://youtu.be/WY9wofvcMAs I’ve also been carefully reading through the feedback and criticism, and I

My Thoughts After 3 Years of Daily Use, and Some Comparisons to the HD560s — https://preview.redd.it/slcd2wx50vxg1.jpg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed7063f6a3bc2556144a1b31341605c9d7e806a5 What's up r/headphones. It has been just over 3 years since I purchased the Monolith M1570c, all thanks to a post by u/RayceManyon back in March of 2023, notifying the sub of a crazy deal that brought them down to $200.00 USD. At the time, there was very little info on this pair of headphones; plenty of

For most of you that are looking to purchase or try out "Endgame" level of stuff, Westone is a brand that's often overlooked due to their appearances or non 2 pin cable. I personally owned Mach 80 and demo-ed Mach 70 for quite some time, I would say that they are actually one of the best in the kilobuck space (Mach 80 usually goes for $1000-1200, and Mach 70 usually goes for $900-1000) purely in terms of sound quality. Most of the other kilobuck stuff doesn't really come into a whole package h

For context, my main use for these is in an electronic repair job. I work at a desk with a microscope and a lot of fan noise. My main requirements are long-term comfort, reasonable noise cancelling, and reasonable sound quality. The AirPods met t

To start, I have plenty of different headphones. Just got the AirPods Max 2s, have the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3, and the Bose Quietcomfort ultra. Debating adding the nothing headphones into the mix strictly for the way they look. I know there’s the nothing 1 and the nothing a, but they’re both close in price on Amazon right now (1s are $230 and a’s are $200). Are they worth adding to the collection? I don’t really need them but they look so cool lol. If you have them, How are they? I saw that com

I thought my Beyerdynamics DT770 Pro’s were near perfect sounding headphones. I got a pair of AirPods Max 2 and even over bluetooth i’m hearing parts of songs i’ve never heard on DT770s. On bluetooth the AirPods definitely have a more fun V-shaped tone curve, with punchy bass. However, to a relative amateur the tone curve is totally flat when plugged in with the USB-C cable. Seems like zero distortion at all. A wide sound stage on both bluetooth and wired, that only just falls short to my Ath

I've been having these planar headphones because I got a great deal B stock ($175) and I feel like they don't get enough credit, I know they are a bit older but they are really available new for a bit over $200. They're the only headphones I have in my collection where using no EQ at all produced the most natural sound. There are similar to the Sundara but with much better bass and highs. The midrange is very slight suppressed but can keep up with much more expensive Planars. I recently got a pa

Long standby and play battery, no LCD, lightweight EDC. — I've been sketching out a concept for a dedicated music player that doesn't exist yet, and I want a reality check from people who actually care about sound quality. Currently I often carry a mix of different audio gears, ereaders, and Android gaming handhelds (sometimes their function overlaps too) The idea is a pocket-sized device with: ES9039Q2M DAC (32-bit/768kHz, DSD1024, -126dB THD) → single-ended 3.5mm out 6" E-Ink display (Ca

I wish I thought to reddit this before spending +$100 on replacement earpads. My original pads started flaking. I was annoyed with the black leather flecks everywhere, so I went on Amazon to find replacements. I tried a $13 pair of generics, and they were slightly less comfortable but the big issue wasn't apparent until I got on a plane. The original pads must have provided amazing passive noise insulation. On max ANC these were almost as bad as not wearing headphones. I landed and immed

massive Apple fanboy) — Hey guys, wanted to share my experience with the new AirPods Max 2. For context, I’m a massive Apple fanboy. Literally every electronic device I own is Apple, and I hugely value how seamless the ecosystem integration is. My current daily drivers: • iPhone 17 Pro • MacBook Air M5 • Studio Display • AirPods Pro 3 • Apple Watch Ultra 3 • 2x Apple TV 4K My final holdout was an 8-year-old pair of Bose QC 35s. They were also the very last non-USB-C device I owned. So,
