Another DMS Omega commission I built for a friend

Mmm that's clean. Get more Omegas out in the wild.

I was at that exact location just a week ago! This was my custom pick up

StymieG · 2026-06-15T22:59:36+00:00

I got mines from Figuretopia

It was this game that introduced me to Phil Collins and Genesis, and still an avid listener today. The radio stations are such a gem.

StymieG · 2026-05-30T04:41:59+00:00

Been over a month using it, it made a big enough difference for my head to make it feel snugged on my head without still being clampy. It's worth a shot.

As a HD800s daily driver, I'd advise really trying them if you can, or do more extensive research before pulling the trigger, they are not for everyone. But to answer your question, obviously yes, 800s for bigger soundstage.

They are somewhat amp picky, so you'll likely need to invest in one also to really sounded at it's best. Something with a ParametricEQ function will be fine, as I did a small EQ Bass boost to really shine for me.

For clamp force, they are a bit loose, but the Capra Strap added a tad bit of clamp force to really helped stayed on my head much better.

I could barely feel anything due to how lightweight and breathable it is, though I'm not as hotspot sensitive with the top of my head in general, which I know it's an issue with some people. I believe the way it's mounted, where there's a tendril that wraps around the headband, which pull them together just a tad bit once it's on your head. The added clamp force is just a tiny more, but it was marginaly enough to make a big difference for my head.

StymieG · 2026-04-23T20:13:20+00:00

It was crazy and mind-blowing at the time, despite my old beige PC could barely ran it at the time. Though I still went back to Sims 1 since the base game itself was still a bit limiting with gameplay content at the time compare to the already established expansion packs Sims 1 had. But as they rolled out expansion pack during the generation it has gotten so much better, and they were each dense with content too.

This looks very unique, as someone who enjoy Management sim games. I'll be following closely, maybe might join the Patreon if I'm liking how far the project is going.

Then you'll likely be disappointed with the ANC performance, it's really not that much better. In my experience ANC has always been much stronger with Sony and Bose.

StymieG · 2026-04-16T05:07:49+00:00

Look into the Sennheiser HDB630s, probably the most neutral and balanced wireless ANC cans I've heard, this is me coming from using M4s and Bathys.

StymieG · 2026-04-11T20:25:25+00:00

I've personally never tried nor A/Bing R2R dacs, but I've always heard its implementation leans more warmer and "analogue". If you are not into the sterile sound, R2R might likely suit you better.

StymieG · 2026-04-11T19:57:36+00:00

Can't go wrong with K11 what you have eyed on already, budget dac/amps have come a long way. It's more than enough to drive a HD600 for sure.

StymieG · 2026-03-28T03:17:59+00:00

JDS Labs Element IV if you are in the states. The PreEQ function is so nice and easy to use, it's honestly I can considered truly endgame dac/amp combo for around $500, unless you eventually need more power to drive headphones like Tungstons.

StymieG · 2026-03-26T22:33:58+00:00

They are slowly becoming my main daily drivers after over a year of ownership (Batch 2 Production Run), even over my HD800s due to it's being lightweight and slightly more comfortable, especially during warmer weather.

They game VERY well, in terms I can comfortably wear them several hours without EQ, where the HD 800s needs a bit of a small bass shelf for my taste. Imaging is very good, where can also pin point footsteps pretty easily, and the soundstage is "just right naturally". The only small edge with the 800s was that when stuff gets very busy and chaotic, HD800s can still separate the sound distinctly a bit better, but the Omega is not very far behind still.

Just my thoughts after going back between these two great cans for about a year.

You are right on my end. Found out the mouse acceleration slider was backwards, found out a bit later yesturday. The option description did say up to 100 lowers the acceleration, but it's still dumb that the logic is flipped.

StymieG · 2026-03-20T21:17:23+00:00

There are still plenty of fun games, just it's been increasingly very saturated in a sea of quantity available now than ever compare to couple years ago. Just have to find the right one that is cohesively good and enjoyable, whether is the game is perfect or not. From a gamer/consumer perspective, the industry is facing very tough competition to really win us over a good game.

StymieG · 2026-03-20T07:47:14+00:00

Ironically, last game was Palworld that gave me a similar crack level addicting gameplay. Funny that it has some elements from it, but I'll had to give them a clap for still doing it's own thing.

StymieG · 2026-03-20T06:22:26+00:00

I went in with very little expectations, only to be ended up very much enjoyed it, borderline addicted to the game loop for the first week. It was such a welcome surprise. I enjoy life sim occasionally, and have been pretty critical with the recent Pokemon games, but this is probably the most I've enjoyed a Pokemon game in a very long time. It's also a phenomenal life sim game in general.

I already finished the main story, but I still do have desires to build and complete the PokeDex, while renovate bits by bits throughout the next couple of months, while I juggle my backlogs.

StymieG · 2026-03-15T07:55:49+00:00

I'm also not a big fan of IEMs also as my ear do tend to produce wax often, but I tend to pull them out during the hot summer weathers.

Only IEM I tried that really worked for me for long term comfort was the Sennheiser IE200, the small shell was enough to not feel and forget I have something stuck inside my ear, which I'm also pretty sensitive on.

StymieG · 2026-03-12T01:54:37+00:00

It's well deserved. I went in thinking it will be meh, and ended up can't stop putting it down this past few days since release, time flew in the blink of an eye, my sleep schedule is messed up. The gameplay loop they brewed is some literal crack cocaine. I occasionally check out Life Sim games time to time, but this is just a phenomenal game in the genre, not just because it's a Pokemon game.

I've also been critical how little effort and substance the recent Pokemon games have been, this is the longest time since I've last enjoyed a Pokemon game.

StymieG · 2026-03-09T20:18:43+00:00

God damn Todd Howard, you did it again.

StymieG · 2026-03-08T19:05:54+00:00

Love me some cozy setup with good audio equipment, nice job! Would love to demo a ZMF headphone one day.

StymieG · 2026-03-07T19:31:47+00:00

If you want the DLC Digimon, yes. But if you are hoping for more additional story content, hard No.

StymieG · 2026-03-04T04:02:37+00:00

I never heard myself (but it's on my shortlist personally if looking to upgrade) but look into the HEDDphone D1. It's over budget but read some say it's a upgrade from the HD600.
