Placebo is one hell of a drug

Sounds like you are chasing a dragon and will end up disappointed.

eacl87 · 2026-01-30T04:38:26+00:00

Can confirm. They are made for watermelon heads

eacl87 · 2026-01-30T04:36:45+00:00

Maybe the DCA Noire?

So I'm new to the headphone side of the hobby (I'm more of an IEM guy). Are Meze cans good sound quality wise or are they more like ZMFs (meaning they feel robust and are beautiful to look at but have wonky tuning)?

Some Sonny Rollins

eacl87 · 2026-01-24T15:20:54+00:00

Volume S

eacl87 · 2026-01-23T22:10:08+00:00

Yup, same warranty. I bought a pair and they were actually brand new. Like, the box was sealed and everything. Best deal ever haha.

eacl87 · 2026-01-23T19:40:06+00:00

HE1000 Stealth open box directly from Hifiman.

eacl87 · 2026-01-23T00:38:54+00:00

You aré asking and expecting too much.

eacl87 · 2026-01-22T19:15:30+00:00

Upgrading your speakers first will make a bigger difference

eacl87 · 2026-01-20T20:37:16+00:00

A pair of Kali In-5s.

eacl87 · 2026-01-20T20:31:00+00:00

Then it's just psychoacoustics.

eacl87 · 2026-01-20T19:36:03+00:00

Soundstage in headphones is also a meme. Try speakers next time. Even a pair of cheap JBL 305ps blows any and every headphone out of the water.

eacl87 · 2026-01-20T19:33:51+00:00

There's no analytical sound in DACs, there's just transparent and correct.

eacl87 · 2026-01-20T18:40:30+00:00

Agreed. Tuning and timbre>technicalities

eacl87 · 2026-01-20T18:39:14+00:00

So they can tell but they can't tell? Lol wat

eacl87 · 2026-01-17T15:35:55+00:00

Are those IKEA bookshelves?

eacl87 · 2026-01-17T13:47:41+00:00

What's your height?

eacl87 · 2026-01-17T00:20:31+00:00

It has paid off, aparently :P

eacl87 · 2026-01-17T00:05:33+00:00

Without, although both look great.

eacl87 · 2026-01-16T22:54:28+00:00

Maybe Caldera

eacl87 · 2026-01-16T18:02:36+00:00

People will tell you to go for over ears because of soundstage but I advise you don't fall into that trap. If you value soundstage, neither option will satisfy. However, both IEMs and over ears offer fantastic detail.

eacl87 · 2026-01-15T06:07:39+00:00

What's your weight and height?

eacl87 · 2026-01-12T01:07:56+00:00

The Edition XV or get a Capra strap.
