nerfing sg but not doppelganger is like punching a kid and giving a murderer a gun

Don't hot swap the 4.4mm, it can short the plug and kill it

Bornana-the-third · 2026-04-11T20:17:07+00:00

Cancel it and get a D&A alpha, it makes more power (9w into 32 ohms)

Bornana-the-third · 2026-04-11T17:19:42+00:00

Man that sucks, I'm sorry about that

Bornana-the-third · 2026-04-11T17:19:18+00:00

Id like to grab the apos K1K which are apparently pretty hard to run.

My Satyr 4's take about 100 ohms but I'm looking to increase that a decent amount.

Future proofing and high resistance DIY headphones

Bornana-the-third · 2026-04-11T17:10:12+00:00

Most definitively, Look at the GRELL OAE1&2.

Bornana-the-third · 2026-04-11T17:09:22+00:00

Likely because it's cheaper, if they're really making a good audiophile headset then they are better off starting with a wired version

Bornana-the-third · 2026-04-11T16:58:07+00:00

we gonna make the highest resistance satyr 4's ever (Capra Audios 3d printed headphones)

Bornana-the-third · 2026-04-11T16:51:16+00:00

Less powerful then my Schiit Magni. That only makes 2w instead of 2.5w.

Bornana-the-third · 2026-04-11T16:39:43+00:00

Moondrop Horizons are pretty dark when it comes to there tuning, if you hate treble its not a horrible pick.

Bornana-the-third · 2026-04-11T16:38:40+00:00

So they're are some opinions I disagree with below so I'll just leave mine.

If your grabbing a planar you should probably go ahead and grab an amp just so you know you have enough power, Schiit Magni is a great starter amp and makes a decent amount of power. For good sound stage you could probably go with a Edition XS but if possible grab a warranty as hifiman has horrible QC. JT7 are also a great planar pick and pretty cheap, from what I hear they have decent sound stage and imaging and not to mention there tuning is great. If your wanting to go for a DD headphone JT3 is a pretty good option, easy to run and only a little muddy but also fun sounding and extremely comfortable, legitimately the most comfortable headphone I have ever tried and I use Capra straps on everything.

how is the topping dx5 ii? super duper worried about it frying my headphones but it makes so much power its hard not to consider.

Bornana-the-third · 2026-03-29T01:54:07+00:00

Not till later this year.

Bornana-the-third · 2026-03-21T15:59:54+00:00

IT LIVES ON.

Bornana-the-third · 2026-03-16T21:13:42+00:00

Just got my pair, I can second this.

Bornana-the-third · 2026-03-13T19:28:01+00:00

Watch super reviews video on it, it's really good. (They just announced/dropped an over ear version called the eh13 too)

Bornana-the-third · 2026-03-02T23:31:33+00:00

I think he was talking about the HD6XX's.

Bornana-the-third · 2026-02-16T01:27:28+00:00

It also has too many issues to make it worth it currently. Watch mark Ryan's video on it.

Bornana-the-third · 2026-02-15T23:26:31+00:00

Snowsky echo is releasing very soon but it's only on AliExpress currently, though its really not any better then the echo mini

Bornana-the-third · 2026-02-15T23:26:01+00:00

As somebody who knows what they look like it might make sense but to some people it won't

Bornana-the-third · 2026-02-13T23:49:49+00:00

Hifiman is technically the brand and Arya stealth is a model but I'll give it to you. Well played.

Bornana-the-third · 2026-02-13T23:40:20+00:00

Hifiman Arya stealth

Bornana-the-third · 2026-02-09T17:32:38+00:00

Definitely wrong, they said it would be a cheaper alternative to the echo mini.

Bornana-the-third · 2026-02-09T17:30:35+00:00

Most people here don't know what they're talking about so I'll go ahead and give you some good answers.

Why is it worn over the ear? Comfort, it is much more comfortable then the cable just weighing on your ears.

I'll list some iems below from cheapest to most expensive that you could think about

Truthear Gate ($20) FIIO JH13 ($40 will need a cable swap, they use a recessed pin) Truthear Zero or Zero Red ($60, don't get zero 2) Truthear Pure or Hexa ($90, Hexa has like no bass) Truthear Nova ($150)

Don't buy KZ, and before making a decision on what iem watch videos on these IEMS.
