2020年12月8日 · - no amp needed to drive it, I don't want to waste money on something too good and you need a amp to get the most out of it. Yes it's a contradiction to the thread title and most headphones that are audiophile quality require an amp. So I'd like to know the best headphone that I can get without taking into consideration how much an amp improves it.

2020年11月1日 · Soundbars in general aren't 'audiophile' and I am willing to bet the internals don't output great quality sound. But, the best way to find out is to try it out yourself. For gear: maybe start on the low-end, with a Schiit Modi & Magni combo. If you want a DAC & Amp in one, FiiO makes great entry-level gear (same for Schiit).

2020年12月8日 · Unfortunately powerful portable amps are non existent at this point. Everything is a dac amp and don’t output the same as they used to. the dac I linked a few posts up allows you to output tempest over optical if you have a wired amp you want to try it with since the usb out on the ps5 is so underpowered.

2022年3月22日 · Sure, overdone bass is just as bad but not many headphones are doing this for years now. The studio reference bs is so much hype, it is actually hard to find a proper fun sounding headphones. I had quite a lot and Pulse 3d is my main now. It actually sounds really similar to koss porta pro. Just a bit more detailed and with lower sub capability.

2020年11月1日 · Most headphones are much much lower and in the double digit range. As far as usb dac, Sony came out and said any usb headphones will work. If you have a headset with a split cable it will work with a usb dac or headphones plugged into the audio 3.5 input and possibly use the Dualsense mic or get an external mic and plug into dac.

2013年7月24日 · Headphones are important. You can spend a lot of money on them and get a real and big difference. Of course, 100$ headphones can be reasonable, but say the ones I have is 95% of max, then the 300$ are about 80% and 100$ about 60%. It's quickly an exponential price increase for performance. 320 kbps is very, very close to FLAC, quality-wise.

2022年9月25日 · 300ohm headphones are antiquated relict. It was always debatable if higher impedance is worth it. My koss porta pro 60ohm sounds 99% the way best headphones sound. That ancient koss porta pro with fiio sound the same or even a bit worse than wireless pulse 3d from their dongle. That is usb audio. No noise and wireless.

2011年1月1日 · Supra-Aural (On-Ear Headphones) Vs. Circumaural (Over-Ear Headphones) - Circumaural headphones have ear pads that fit all the over the ear rather than resting on the ear. The results generally lead to added comfort and isolation, though there are some notable exceptions, and lately on-ear headphones have made large strides in both departments.

2016年5月26日 · The sound quality on them isn't the best out of all headphones of all time of course. But they are pretty great! I think you have to be a pretty big audiophile to really think the A40s are shitty ( I have been through multiple 500$+ pairs of headphones through the years from Sony, Audio Technica, Beyerdynamic, etc.. ).

2022年9月5日 · Of course if you have large living space and have separate room then knock yourself out. Also Atmos supported games sounds amazing in headphones. Open ones, closed caans will never get that much space. Also buy stereo headphones, not that scam 5.1 scam shit.
