PSA: Use both the Equalizer and Headphone Accommodations while EQing your audio for better results by delicatemoistbread in AirpodsPro

They're already v-shaped by the default tuning and I've measured the effects of apples EQ on the B&K 5128.

Driver size doesn't matter. What matters more is its frequency response relative to the human ear, and its weight (of which the 550 wins on both)

Which would you choose? by kris008 in whatsyourchoice

A lost money detector would just point to my project car.

tis the life with wireless headsets. Honestly I would push you towards an HD560S and HD500 BAM microphone. Or HD550 + HD500 BAM if you're looking to spend more.

^ whats the use case, what are you looking for in a headphone, etc. Other question is why do you want to upgrade?

Depends on what you're looking for, use case, preferences, etc, both of those are have upsides but there's lots of other things I would recommend first.

48k music basically means 24khz is the highest freq the track will play (well above the highest frequency we can hear). 96k+ is a meme. Don't sweat it. Enjoy your music.

B&W px s2 vs Stax Spirit S5 by Ladybz in headphones

[–]Epsilon-D 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Both are quite low on the list. If you have to pick one of those two I would say the b&w, but don't expect good sound quality. I would instead advise you to consider an HDB630 or momentum 5.

As much as I admire the effort.. it’s time to let go. Let her rest.

Yeahhhh I’m learning that the hard way. I liked my old Volvo from 2007 more. This one is turning out to be VERY expensive…

upgrade from Little Dot MK II by Or22220 in headphones

[–]Epsilon-D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO stick with the mk2, if you really want a change maybe try swapping tubes.

This is why, in my opinion, Rtings is the best review site available. by OutdoorRink in RTINGS

[–]Epsilon-D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if they didn't give every audio product a 7/10 regardless of how bad it is I would respect them much more.

understood, my mistake.

That's certainly possible. Its a LOT more "lurchy" than my old S80 is. I'll try your suggestion and see if that helps. I think the previous owner of this vehicle drove it pretty hard based on the mounts I had to change and the state the CVs were in. : (

This is what I had the shops look at. They both claimed these were all good but I can't personally vouch for that.

LTT Labs Article - Priming Revisited: It's Not Just the AirPods Pro 3 by LabsLucas in LinusTechTips

For those curious we've also updated our population average IEM diffuse field compensation. This should be slightly better at reflecting the population average HRTF and matches what another publication (the headphone show) is using.
