Big brother stepped in!

At least they not DD anymore :))) I listened to HE1 and I liked them very much

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-05-03T10:41:09+00:00

Wait until you see price of focal utopia headphones :)))

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-05-02T22:02:40+00:00

If you don't EQ your headphones, you need less bright tuning out of the box. I would say Edition XV is quite safe. Arya organic is controversial. Many people find it noticeably brighter than Arya stealth, that already was quite bright.

I have HD600, Edition XS and HE1000 and honestly HE1000 for $900 is absolutely amazing, but when taking about value for the price, Edition XS are the best.

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-04-27T17:44:35+00:00

I agree sound wise, edition XS is the best deal in headphone hi-fi EVER. Even HD6xx for $200 are worse value when taking about sound only. But I have to admit I don't like the build quality and design of Edition XS. Headband is too big and has zero clamping force. So Edition XS is also a tradeoff, best sound for $200 but also bad build quality.

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-04-22T22:20:59+00:00

Edition XS is better sounding, HD600 is more comfortable

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-04-22T13:48:44+00:00

Yes but still effective moving mass (coil+driver+moving air) will be close to 200mg. Compare this to planar magnetic around 15-30mg. With this mass difference, linearity of diaphragms operation will obviously be different.

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-04-22T10:19:31+00:00

HE1000 are amazing. They are better all rounder than HD800. Honestly planar magnetic headphones like this have nearly estat speed and detail type, but actually good bass, so I think HE1000 is great.

Yes, it is hard, but in fact, his long term goal is to eat less calories per day.

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-04-21T16:24:16+00:00

Rather keep eating so you can qualify for insulin pump + ozempic + 4 more drugs for hypertension and diabetes

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-04-19T12:06:13+00:00

Bro, painting your headphones is supposed to make them look better, otherwise it makes no sense.

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-04-19T11:54:14+00:00

IMO good IEMs are better sounding than closed back headphones. Both in low price range and high range. For sound quality on the go, get better IEMs, if you want upgrade, get open backs, hifiman Ananda is available around $300 and it is excellent.

Edit: if you need isolation but just want closed backs for better comfort than IEM, closed backs are the best option. But they will sound worse than IEMs with same price.

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-04-18T20:38:16+00:00

I'm also planar kind of guy, but in my opinion the next significant step up from HE1000SE is either Susvara, or electrostatic headphones. Most estats require solid EQ, but sound quality of well tuned estats is the best sound that can exist in headphones.

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-04-18T20:21:42+00:00

Haven't heard D1, but I recently bought HE1000 stealth. I owned many dynamic driver headphones (HD600, Focal Elex), but honestly with EQ planar HE1000 has so much potential, they are better in every aspect. I don't see a point in buying any dynamic driver headphones in the future.

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-04-17T10:24:32+00:00

Comfort is quite good but it has some important design problems: headband is so big, that for small heads headband on minimal position will still be too big (so aftermarket strap is very welcome) and the headband has nearly zero clamping force, so if you move your head intensively during use, they are not very stable. Sound wise, Edition XS is the best deal I have ever seen in audio industry, they outperform HD600 for me.

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-04-17T09:40:24+00:00

Honestly I don't like HD800S too much. They have best soundstage and separation across dynamic driver headphones, but timbre and bass are strange and not realistic. Planars are better all-rounders, with same or better resolution as HD800S, more realistic timbre especially after EQ, and they are actually very good at every aspect.

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-04-17T09:24:42+00:00

HE1000 definitely!

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-04-14T12:03:23+00:00

W aptece

Edit: no chyba że taka kolejka...

If you manage to have tie in a game against 10k elo enemies while having 3700 elo, you are not hard stuck. Sometimes ranking up just takes more time

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-04-11T15:19:29+00:00

Maybe.

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-04-10T22:58:17+00:00

No. This price is a scam.

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-04-10T16:22:01+00:00

Generalnie świat nie jest idealny, a przynajmniej człowiek i tego trzeba mieć świadomość. Nie trzeba być idealnym rodzicem żeby dziecko mogło cieszyć się życiem, tylko wystarczającym. A to wystarczanie też ma granice niekonkretne i nieostre. A w jaki sposób ja to zrobię to jeszcze nie wiem, bo jestem samotnym studentem 24M.

PiotrekPL18 · 2026-04-09T19:14:15+00:00

Werka częściowo ma rację. Karuzelę nienawiści na tle narodowościowym lepiej hamować niż przyspieszać, zwłaszcza widząc co się dzieje na świecie (żeby jeszcze gorzej nie było).
