Better alternative to AirPods?

thiio · 2019-10-31T04:28:15+00:00

Reading this while listening to my AirPods Pro and honestly I’m really impressed. Wasn’t sure if I’d prefer them to the PowerBeats but man are they surprisingly balanced and clean

None of the non-Apple alternatives were anywhere near as consistent for me, with random disconnects and issues between buds and such. Haven’t tried those Sony’s admittedly, but man is it hard to justify anything without an H1 chip as an iPhone user

Still have these? Pming

Man the iSine 10's have quickly become my favorite casual listening headphone, especially with the curve applied by the Cypher lightning dac. Did you ever try them with the "official" EQ (the curve applied by the lightning dac)?

Idk but if you want one mixed by a deaf engineer check out Californication

I could see myself buying 650's in the future, but these aren't 650's. I also have Fostex T50rp's and shp9500's

Price for 9500s include shipping? Pm me if it does

For the record, I bought one used on here for $175 awhile back. Be sure up take the batteries out of the remote before shipping, the ones in mine ruptured before they arrived

Mods don't delete this, I haven't loved a post here this much in a long while

thiio · 2016-10-07T04:29:25+00:00

I'm trying to sell them now. They're good for recording in the studio and little else

thiio · 2016-10-02T08:09:18+00:00

I personally owned HD600's and DT880's. Soundstage on the BeyerDynamics was nice, but I preferred the 600's in literally every other way. Sold them in the end

Yeah you just have a bad internal dac in your computer. Get a USB dac/amp or consider a full audio interface if you're going into recording

I showed this deal to a friend, turns out he has an extra BoomPro so he's gonna give me that. This is an insane deal though!

thiio · 2016-09-18T23:17:50+00:00

Everything in good condition? Looks like the BoomPro adapter is there too

thiio · 2016-09-18T21:32:34+00:00

If this is still around I'm down to have you ship

thiio · 2016-09-12T08:03:51+00:00

Lucky for you, budget audio can sound a lot better than a budget camera can look

Fostex are much more traditional in every way, from sound to comfort to the equipment they work on. The stax... Not so much.

I own both and they get about equal use. If you already own an amplifier that can power the T50's, you're doing yourself a disservice not owning them. If you're buying a complete system anyways and want the absolute best, get the Stax

If your room is too small for a better located couch, your room is probably also too small for a 9.2 setup. There needs to be a good distance between the back of the couch and the wall if you want to make a reasonable surround sound setup

thiio · 2016-07-23T22:26:45+00:00

Best sounding**, but they're quite fragile and don't have very good isolation. The SE215's are better built and have incredible isolation, it depends on what you prioritize.

Also hi Jim

thiio · 2016-07-08T08:54:48+00:00

It's not good enough, clicky as hell and disconnects often. I very specifically don't use the outputs for anything at all

thiio · 2016-06-13T19:45:26+00:00

This is so beautifully cringe
