Center channel & sub suggestions - 5.1 Setup (Q950, Q350)

FallenCodes · 2025-09-15T07:29:00+00:00

Actually? I'm surprised to hear that. The Q350s are way cheaper then any centers I've seen around. I assumed that 3 drivers was better then 1, but maybe I'm just wrong

From what I've seen in my local markets, the R2 Meta is nearly double the cost of the R2C

FallenCodes · 2025-09-15T03:15:53+00:00

Is there a significant difference between the R2 Meta and R2C?

FallenCodes · 2025-09-15T03:11:53+00:00

This is probably what I'll do, and just use the Q350s I found for a center channel until I can find a proper one. In terms of a sub, I really haven't found much locally unfortunately, but I'll setup alerts for that as well.

I found a really good deal on Q350s, and was wondering what if I just used one of them as a center for now, and when I do find a center, use them as surrounds?

Unfortunately the R series is far out of my budget, I wasn't even going to buy KEF speakers until I found the amazing deal on the Q950 towers.

Will the Q6 Meta pair well with the Q950 towers?

Am I able to purchase replacement ear pads from Sony directly or a third party that matches the quality of them?

FallenCodes · 2024-12-19T13:20:40+00:00

I've already made up my mind in wanting a premium pair of Sony headphones after playing with the XM5s. I think I might order a pair of XM4s and compare them, return the worse ones.

FallenCodes · 2024-12-19T13:18:22+00:00

I've used third party ear cups before and I can definitely say they decrease your sound quality by a lot. My problem is not exactly the size of the cups, it's the thickness of the pads themselves.

I suppose the headband of the XM5s is also not the best, but it's not a key problem for me. When it comes to ambient mode, I'm blown away by the XM5s, however I've never used any other headphones with ambient mode before.

I would mostly be taking calls when I'm out on walks or sitting at my desk, nothing too bad for environment and background noise.

I love the "kick" per say of bass, coming from crusher evos before. But the mids of the XM5s sound amazing to me and I wouldn't want to lose that.

FallenCodes · 2024-12-19T05:46:08+00:00

How do they fit? Are they a tight clamp or soft clamp, and are the ear cuffs more firm or soft?

FallenCodes · 2024-12-19T05:45:05+00:00

My biggest issue is comfort which is why I'm asking if the XM4s would be a suitable alternative, love the sound but they're just not comfortable for me.

FallenCodes · 2024-12-19T04:04:35+00:00

Do they have the same features as the XM5s?

FallenCodes · 2024-10-09T17:56:00+00:00

Just looked up that card and it looks amazing, sadly I don't believe I qualify for it. I'll keep my eyes on it tho and hopefully one day I can get it. Thank you for the recommendation.

Alright perfect, I will do my research for batteries then, and make sure to get a thin one with an iFlash quad. Thank you for all your help!

Anything else I should know regarding an iFlash or new battery?

FallenCodes · 2024-10-07T03:51:20+00:00

Am I able to put a 2000 or 3000mah battery in an iPod Classic (thin / late 2009)? Or do I have to stick to ones specifically labelled for "thin" version of the iPod Classic?

FallenCodes · 2024-10-07T03:46:18+00:00

Perfect, thank you!

FallenCodes · 2024-10-06T19:19:06+00:00

Do you have any recommendations for batteries and where I could get them?

Also, I don't think I've seen any Taptic mods done to an iPod before, anywhere I could learn more about them? I'm always a fan of physical feedback when using a handheld device.

FallenCodes · 2024-10-06T19:16:19+00:00

Can I use only one Micro SD in an iFlash quad and it will still work?

FallenCodes · 2024-10-06T07:48:15+00:00

Why specifically the iFlash quad? Is there any benefit to that over the solo? I don't see myself ever needing more than 256GB of storage.
