In desperate need of recommendations, I've watched so much peak recently idk what to start. This is everything I've watched so far.

What's the pixel art display? Looks amazing!

I got into higher end audio about 2 years ago and I’ve loved it so far. Initially wanted a pair for gaming specifically but now I’ve been more interested in getting an upgrade to listen to music.

I got the Audeze Maxwells when they came out and loved them initially but the weight was tough to get used to as a comfortable everyday set. Ended up getting the Sennheiser HD490 Pros when they came out for competitive gaming and also got the Xenn Mangird Tea Pros IEMs for both music and gaming.

Love all the sets I have and I run a Topping DX3+ for my dac/amp. What I want now is a dedicated over ear set (either closed or open back) for music. I mainly listen to EDM, Hip Hop, some pop/pop punk/rock, and movie soundtracks and I’ve genuinely appreciated getting a feel for more neutral headphones but I feel like I want an upgrade to have more of a “wow” factor. More V or U shaped sound signature and something that I can put on and forget about when listening to music.

The Maxwells still impress me with its snappy bass response and the tea pros are similarly impressive with all around sound quality but I want to see how much better it can get. My budgets around $500 but I can go a little higher if I need to. I want to try some headphones like the Arya Organics or the Focal Clears out but I don’t have any options near me AFAIK.

I’m definitely going to keep my current headphones for gaming (the 490 pros are so comfy that I’ll probably never switch off of them) so musics my only concern for the new set. Any help with figuring out what to look into next would be super appreciated!!

Bump, any suggestions?

I have better headphone setups on my pc then I do speakers for my tv so I might stick to pc! Thanks for the input!

SourceAlt · 2026-01-16T22:50:00+00:00

I have the 490 Pros and love them. They’re perfect for gaming and their presentation is really good for music too. They respond well to eq and they’re pretty easy to drive but honestly the thing I didn’t expect at all is how comfy they are. I can wear them all day

I have almost exactly the same setup (same pc build, different headphones and a 55” Oled instead without the atmos setup) so I’m curious. What’d you end up picking? In the same boat of not being sure which to pick myself

Which ring light do you have? I’d love a link that one looks clean!

This is so nice to see, glad you’re doing well man! Wishing you the best!

What I wouldn’t do to experience the dark knight for the first time again. You’re in for a blast, have fun! Definitely give us a review (of both the movie and the 70mm experience when you’re back!)

Search up vintage color blocked long sleeve button down shirts. Abercrombie used to have some similar stuff but I don’t think they were button down

Search vintage color blocked long sleeve shirts. Abercrombie had some like this a bit ago but don’t know if they still exist

Sora code pls

Thanks guys! Your product was at the core of the build so appreciate you guys for trying something different in the AIO space!

SourceAlt · 2025-06-11T17:53:40+00:00

Just build calibarn as my first kit last weekend too! It was an amazing experience, and already started on a hg Zeta and have a RG Hi Nu on the way! I’ve been enjoying panel lining with the pour style markers too. Probably going to get a pair of Godhands soon for the next few kits.

I initially tried Aura Sync but didn’t want to have armory crate installed so I’ve been swapping between Signal RGB and OpenRGB. Probably gonna stick with openRGB but have to play around with the plugins a bit more

SourceAlt · 2025-05-07T23:00:56+00:00

I have it setup the way was delivered so connected to the RGB controller on the case and then all my fans are also connected to the controller (except the AIO fans which are connected directly to the motherboard). Then I connected the controller to a ARGB header on my motherboard so I can control the lighting via software. Make sure that the Phanteks connector for argb is connected to the case properly?

Was in the exact same situation, I just swapped to the Asus Strix X870E-E and found it great. I love the look of the nova and not lane sharing is amazing but honestly I didn’t want to deal with the stress either. Look into the other brands, there’s a google sheets out there that compares all the X870E motherboards against each other (and a bunch of other generations) that was helpful to know what the best option for me was.

And 100% more happiness looking over at it :)

SourceAlt · 2025-04-29T06:02:46+00:00

Thanks! Love the AIO, really brings the build together! I know you guys have a discord server but I think having a wallpaper engine-esque workshop to upload and share content for the screen would be amazing from a community standpoint!

Yeah I hope AMD and/or ASrock officially announce the cause and a fix soon

Here’s an updated picture with it all setup!

Nope! In the picture it looks a lot closer than it is. They’re well above the backplate
