If You Can Only Have One Headphone... | Audioquest...

Dec 6, 2018

nidus123I've had these Headphones myself for about 3years now.. I tried the whole lineup until I ended up in this price-range and these Headphones. I got over 3k Hours playtime on them, and I almost cry of happiness when I listen to music of High-Quality :D Highly Recommended! My next step would be a Fostex TH900.

Untamed_InsanityNext step for me would probably be MrSpeakers Aeon closed ... Or a pair of lcd2c.

nidus123Since we both own Audioquest Nighthawk Headphones, I would be so appreciated if you could keep me posted about your choice, and how they sound/if they are better than the Nighthawks :D <3

Untamed_InsanityI don't necessarily think they are, they are just different and still sound nice. There is no harshness to them whatsoever, sound wise or physically. But sure - when i actually get them (and my wife does not kill me), i'll do a small update.

verifonixToo expensive :) No point of going over 800 if there is so much nice choice down on earth. Sky is the limit, I know. But there is not much tangible difference unless you got bat ears. As in - if it's more than my mortgage payment, no Bueno :)

dcha12Regret selling my Nighthawks because of this. It's velvety/buttery texture was such a joy listening to and I still think they're the most comfortable headphones out there. However, I sold it to a friend so I do have the opportunity to re-hear it once in a while.

Untamed_InsanityI got myself an upgraded but used pair of LCD-X and i have not looked back since. I lost some of the "room feel" of the Nighthawks, but the sound is just amazing. Plus my THX 789 arrived as well so i can't really complain on that front either :)

nidus123I own the NightHawk Carbon and I barely use them just so when I do, I can appreciate their specialness all over again. They are amazing once the brain gets re-programmed to their sound. I disagree with people that say they have a dull top end. I get where they come from, but either they have hearing damage, or they don't give them a chance. They just...like you say...sound like butter. I make my own music and I know my tracks well, and they sound just as I intend my tracks to sound from lows to highs. I've never been more amazed by a pair of headphones...although yeah...they do not sound subjectively impressive on first listen.

Sugar_FreeRight? They cradle the ears so gently. Pads feel like marshmallows! I also love how light and flimsy they feel when putting them on. Such an experience!

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup

Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?

Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

What would be a good portable Dac/Amp to use with my HD6xx and Sony Xperia 1 V cell phone?

I am new to this hobby. I purchased a HD6XX and plan to use it with my Sony Xperia 1 V cell phone, that has a 3.5mm jack. I was wondering if I needed a portable dac/amp or just a portable amp and if so what would one recommend? Any assistance one could provide, would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Haz

Invest in Balancing my HD6xx headphones?

Hi... I'm a songwriter/producer. I have Drop Senn HD6xx HPs. I just bought a Topping L30 II SE HP amp to enhance my monitoring. It honestly sounds pretty good. The audio interface I'm using (an Audient iD22) has balanced outs. For those of you who've listened to the HD6xx using balanced amps and cables, do you think I should invest in that kind of setup to take advantage of the Senns potential?

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?

I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

New here

Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
