Headset vs Headphones
I really want to replace my current Logitech headphones because the headphone in it has not worked for a very long time and I have been eyeing a few wireless headphones. I have a desk mic that plugs directly into a microphone jack and I enjoy using it, but I would also like to look into a headset since it means less space being used up. I'm also really interested in long term headphones but Im too scared to spend a lot of money as 150$ CAD is the highest I would go. First post here and I've been interested in trying out more audio gear

Any possibility of more Hivi Swan monitors?
I see the m200mkIII's were sold on here previously, and I wish they could make a reappearance. What would be even more amazing would be the Swan m300mkII, or, dare I say, the Swan m500...

Just checking in... it's been a while.
This summer my wife and I saw our 24 year old autistic son transition into an adult residential group home where I'm very happy to say he is thriving. He is making new friends and getting out into the community, things he refused to do while living at home. We are so pleased to be able to see his progress. I have been working on kind of a project this past month. I am converting my son's tiny bedroom into my tiny music room/office and it's been a pretty big undertaking. I've had to rebuild the walls and paint them. I had to buy new curtains and clean a carpet. I put up a ceiling fan and built a table for my headphones. I hauled my six foot desk into the room from the living room and purchased a new desk chair and soon I will finally get my desktop audio system wired up. I have to mount a TV on the wall yet, get some crap out of the room, get it vacuumed. Oh, and I have a partial power outage. LOL My wife and I live in a rental and of course the landlord has been...

Drop BMR1 speakers + Schiit Modi 3E DAC
Hello! Was wondering if anyone would help me troubleshoot something. I recently got the BMR1 nearfield desktop speakers, got them all plugged in and everything. Bluetooth mode works great, but I try to plug them into my Schiit Mode 3E I can't get any sound through them from my pc (even when I switch outputs on the DAC itself). My headphones (which are connected to my Schiit Magni 3. Am I simply misunderstanding where and how I should be plugging these in? thanks!

- Headphone cables absolutely make a difference. My ZMF Atmos S cable for my HD 6XX sounds brighter and slightly clearer than the stock cable. In that vein, material seems to make the single largest difference.
- Interconnects (either for speakers or from DAC to amp) make a difference.
- Digital cables (HDMI, USB, coax, toslink, etc) don't make any difference.
- And most importantly, the difference between the quality of cables is subtle at best unless you're comparing to some trash cable that picks up EMI like an antenna.
