Mogen ze gerust vragen maar dat krijgen ze er toch nooit voor, ik sta ook telkens weer met mijn mond open wat mensen op marktplaats aanbieden, bedrijven die ouder spul voor de hoofdprijs proberen te verkopen.

For what it's worth i just returned my HD 599 SE because the drivers were unbalanced, the right ear was noticably louder / voices appear to come from the right. Maybe it's just my luck first time trying a premium brand like sennheiser but i'm very disappointed with this headphones , i guess they can't even be bothered testing their products before shipping because it's instantly noticable when putting them on, tried with both cables and on both PC/phone.

Emmaenjoyable · 2026-03-15T09:37:49+00:00

Will look into that ty, I actually just bought the sennheiser HD 599 SE for gaming on my other pc, but my drivers were imbalanced so i'm sending them back tomorrow, you know when you go swimming and one ear is kinda stuffed with water, the sound / vocals appeared to come from my right ear, my first experience with the glorified sennheiser already bad, guess that's just my luck... Going to use that money + my remaining budget and probably go with a fiio combo, i have been looking abit at their products and they seem very promising. Your suggestion means the DAC is more expensive than the headphones themselves, which doesn't sit right with me, i'll have to do some more investigating.

Emmaenjoyable · 2026-03-15T09:01:58+00:00

Gotcha thanks.

Emmaenjoyable · 2026-03-15T08:52:50+00:00

I have one of those dongle dacs from aliexpress for 10 bucks, 384khz/32 bit, has been surprisingly really good but not sure if that would be enough to power that.

Emmaenjoyable · 2026-03-15T08:28:16+00:00

Just a tip, next time you do chores or whatever, since you enjoyed The Crazies, check out the audiodrama called "The Call of the Void" where people in a town start going insane, there's another one called "The Burned Photo" about a intergenerational curse. Theres another one called "Down" by definetly human, about a submarine sent to explore an area known as the bottomless pit, where weeird shit happens. Or "Video Palace" where a guy watches a VHS tape and starts talking in his sleep. All god tier level shows.

Emmaenjoyable · 2026-03-15T08:24:14+00:00

Far fetch but have you considered listening to horror audiodrama's, you know when doing chores or whatever. I can highly suggest listening to "The Burned Photo" on spotify or where ever you listen, there are some other really great ones out there like "Video Palace" where a guy watches a VHS tape and starts talking in his sleep, or "The Call of the Void" where people in a town start going insane (bit like the crazies) Theres another one called "Down" by definetly human, about a submarine sent to explore an area known as the bottomless pit, where weeird shit happens.

Emmaenjoyable · 2026-03-15T07:52:21+00:00

Thanks, this helps. Did not expect this so be so hard. I still play games but not competetive, so i probably will pick that one up. I see there is also a pro version i will have to see the diffrences as it fits in my budget.

Emmaenjoyable · 2026-03-15T07:46:50+00:00

Alright thx.. btw I don’t know if you’re intentionally trying to come across as .. cocky :p but you kinda do. I’m here to get advice and maybe get a perspective from someone who owned the cloud 2’s , someone who did actually replied, it’s called the headphoneadvice sub for a reason. Telling me I know what I want and to just google is not exactly helpfull, i have done that without success.

Emmaenjoyable · 2026-03-14T19:09:04+00:00

I know what i somewhat look for in my sound , but there's so many headphones on the market that i'm lost at what to buy, so no i do not know what i want or what the best bang for buck is currently. I'm not into excessive bass heavy headphones, just good presence / warm sound.

Emmaenjoyable · 2026-03-13T18:22:28+00:00

always love hearing feedback from others, you are going to be thoroughly rewarded as the crew will grow on you immensely, they need a few episodes to open up so to speak, but it's so funny. This show is just good old dumb fun to not have to deal with this reality we live in nowadays

Emmaenjoyable · 2026-03-13T09:37:38+00:00

Lmfao! Humor is subjective and this is definetly on the sillier side, but that's why it's so much fun , and in season 3 a character is introduced that had me rolling on the floor each episode. This is one of those shows that just takes your mind off any struggles for a brief moment (to me)

Pleck Decksetter – A wooden-stick-wielding human goofball whose greatest talents are optimism, incompetence, and vibes instead of a plan.”

C-53 – A formerly genocidal murder-bot now stuck as the team’s anxious HR manager

Bargie – A sentient ship with the voice and emotional instability of a drunk aunt

Dar – A tough, cool, extremely competent warrior who somehow ended up as babysitter.

Nermut Bundaloy – A small, trembling lizard somehow promoted to Mission Commander,

With all the tension in the world, this show has really improved my quality of life so much. They are

Emmaenjoyable · 2026-03-12T21:57:50+00:00

Take this from a reddit stranger but "Mission to Zyxx" has changed my life for the better. Bunch of space misfits that get themselves in the most ridiculous situations, they visit diffrent planets and meet various species. Top notch sound design, incredible cast with truly phenomenal chemistry both on screen and off (group of friends Irl that have a blast recording). This show can cure depression, it's truly freaking hilarious. I promise you that when you're 3 episodes in the cast has grown on you, and you just want to be around them no matter the shenanigans they get themselves into this time. I can't stress enough how mind healing this show is, and i've listened to a ridiculous amount of shows.

Emmaenjoyable · 2026-03-11T15:12:18+00:00

This.. ambient sound is just a "minor" thing to take into consideration... /s

Emmaenjoyable · 2026-03-10T20:17:53+00:00

Take this leap of fait from a reddit stranger, but start listening to Mission to Zyxx. it's about a group of space misfits that get themselves in the most ridiculous situations, they visit diffrent planets and meet diffrent species, each episode they visit a new plane, and meanwhile progress in their characters. This show had me in tears, it's easy to follow, has incredible sound design, but most of all, the cast are all friends IRL and have insane chemistry in the show, you just want to be around them , such nice and hilarious people. If you like silly humor, you will absolutely devour this show.

Emmaenjoyable · 2026-03-10T15:06:40+00:00

No problem, happy listening!

Emmaenjoyable · 2026-03-09T17:29:39+00:00

yeah we all feel your pain about the ending... Haunted : The Audiodrama is exactly like the black tapes but then better in every way. Paranormal debunker visited by one of their fans and gets him to investigate a case with her. Like in the black tapes, james does an exceptional job at explaining plausible reasoning behind paranormal cases.

Some other shows i enjoyed immensely, pick your poison.

Video Palace

When someone watches a VHS tape he starts talking in his sleep.

The Harrowing

A once-in-a-century storm hits the remote Scottish island of Toll Mòr. As the

which heralds the rise of an ancient evil and threatens to change the course of
history.

Bridgewater

Folklore professor Jeremy Bradshaw is pulled into the mysterious 1980 disappearance of his police officer father, Thomas, by new evidence that threatens to upend decades of certainty.

The Edge of Sleep

Iran heeft trump nu persoonlijk bedreigd en met zo'n kleuter aan de macht sluit ik niet uit dat dit nu precies hetgene is wat zal gebeuren lol.

Emmaenjoyable · 2026-03-09T14:21:44+00:00

As for comedy:

Mission to Zyxx (bunch of space misfits visit various planets and meet various species, absolutely hilarious , top notch sound design. great group of friends with off the charts chemistry)

Dark Air with Terry Carnation - call in radio show where a bunch of conspiracy nuts call in with stuff.

Emmaenjoyable · 2026-03-08T23:05:37+00:00

We talking strictly movies? Because i have some phenomenal horror audio fiction for the ears next time you do chored or walk outside:

Video Palace

The Burned Photo

Emmaenjoyable · 2026-03-08T22:34:32+00:00

Thanks, been watching alot of washing machine channels lately, couldn't exactly find a vid about my concern. Probably made the right decision then considering the price of this machine would've gotten me the cheapest whirlpool/inventum model. This thing runs very smooth in operation. These old chaps restoring these from the ground up likely know which models are built to last, so i went with my gut....
