You are looking straight from 2005, nostalgic vibes, cheers bro

Great video Stu! Are you gonna review the Senheiser hd 620s?

Stu!!

that Joachim guy, it sounds good, very good.. nice review, good looking headphones. thanks!

Have no intention on buying these whatsoever but I really enjoy your content. Wish you post more often. Especially your truth series.

Hey Stu, thanks for the review. Have you tried Audio Technica ath-msr7b ? Those are my current closed back headphones. Good sound but a bit of microphonics noise. I haven't tried the Fiio yet. Say hello to your grandchildren for me

Moondrop and Kiwi ears released some budget hps. Will love to hear your thoughts.

I bought them, tested them for 10 days, tried EQ, but ended up selling them. They are very comfortable and made quite well, especially considering the price. But sound is unbalanced. Too much bass, there is also an unpleasant peak in the upper mids.

Is there something like the Ananda but I don't have to RMA it every 6 months? 3rd pair has developed rattle

Nvidia stock dropping 600b in one day due to Ai made me smile.

bought it from Ali express the cups fall with the first use. the vent above the cups one of them is not stable. left cup have buzzing sound with high bass and the headphone have little sound imbalance. the bass is good and well balanced for me I don't know why some users said it is bassy. the texture is so good even better than HD 560s which I have. sound stage is good too. that's my opinion. I am not audiophile at all and didn't use it extended time. tried it with fiio k5 pro ess. and btw the cable is good quality but microphonic.

How do they co parents to closed back ath esw9 or the wp900?

What are your thoughts on the Pros?

I just picked up the AKG 702 thanks to your amazing series on them, I love them 🤩

Wonderful review. On another note-- could you direct me to the dealer that supply your narcotics? You look like you're on some good stuff.

Hey Stu! Great review as always! Thanks!

They sounded good, no more,no less. Sold them and bought hifiman ananda nano and will never look back. In all fairness, they may be the best closed cans I've owned.

Fiio's FT1 and FT1 Pro are about to ignite fierce competition in the market, likely forcing other brands to slash their prices. Fiio is kicking some dummy thicc butts ...........

Very informative, thankyou , but what about the Pro version? Significantly better? Just askin'....

FT1 Pro Please

Most is being mastered out at 44.1/48. Tidal might but upsampling isn't really real I don't think. Anyway, none of this matters compared to wav vs. loss. Sure it's 4.5x more storage and bandwidth, but it's worth it if rare. CD's are enough, though expensive. I doubt Tidal does 1,411/2067kbs.

Great review. Thanks for sharing. Will you prefer FT1 Pro which is an open back over this closed back?

I'll take " *Your Dummy Thick Ass* " as a compliment! Subscribed!

You need to review the pro version now

Shelley?

Why not listen this with these 😊

I think I already own all the audio i need, but nice to see Stu back!

Oh yeah bois 😎 💪 Stu is back with the review I was waiting on. I have failed to pick these dummy thicc cans up, though 😔 I heard the bass slaps about the same as Zeos' Eris collab and that the Kiwi Ears Division slaps harder than both and only costs a quarter of the price of the FT1 which is about half what the Eris costs. I have the Eris, and they do slap, and while I was watching your video, my Kiwi Ears Division were delivered, so I'm about to find out if they do indeed slap harder than the Eris. I'm honestly not really sure why I even care, as I typically don't listen to music with heavy emphasis in the bass region. Only on some occasions. I'm a classical, jazz, OST kinda guy with a sprinkle of blues here and there. Mainly jazz. Words Mr. Wordsworth. Good to see you posting vids again! So don't stop! How's your grandkids?

All them wiener jokes. 🍆

"Put it on yo head" should be their new slogan.

Welcome back Stu, now go home and get your f****n shine box!!!

UBIQUITOUS. Nice word choice. B)

Missed u

he's back babyy

Damn if this just had optical out so I also could play sound from PC to my reciever( surround sound system) it would have everything I need.

what headphones do you recomend for gaming?

ordered the K702 because of this review since i need more open-backs in my collection im horrendously excited for these because of yalls reviews

Really great video. I do have a pair of these. The sound is bass heavy, surely agree. The good news is whatever app you use to listen to music, you can adjust the EQ there (I adjust mine on Spotify, Apple Music has an EQ to adjust your music). Battery life, accurate, it's short and I charge them once a week give or take and I only use them in my house (I use other headphones for the gym). The ear cushions you are right about, they will tear after a certain time but more good news. You can replace the cushions with Bose QC35, they fit perfectly. If you want brown, just search Wicked Cushions Bose QC35 and you'll run into a brown pair. These clamp perfectly for me as I deal with ear issues when flying and I only did a quick flight from Phoenix to San Diego and it helped but longer flights I'm concerned because the ANC isn't Bose, you get what you pay for. Supsoo can make improvements but you definitely have to take care of these as I have scratches on mine and a small piece chipped off the side. Great video and I want another pair, they're hard to find now and they definitely could've made more colors.

Would you say that they are the upgraded version of the k240? I mean if they have similar sound signature. Thanks

Is this a scientific review or a biased analysis?

The Fosi SK01 has bass, mid, and treble tone control, AND has a gain stage. It's also a DAC/amp that'd probably sit nicely after this in your chain

They are the best headphones money can buy but you will need a good headphones amplifier, or even better a DAC amplifier, they are a "Beast"

If you are referring to specifically the Dac chip itself then you are technically correct for Delta Sigma Dacs (DSD) only; R2R designed DACS do sound differently and will easily pass a blind test for most people with good hearing. Now when you refer to the Dac device as a complete unit that is well engineered as a whole and built with quality components and quality power supply (comparing DSD chip dac vs DSD chip dac) then yes there can be small differences that are audible. This is especially true when the Dac is connected to a resolving system. That being said if your just looking for a dongle DAC then any decent one will do with difference mainly being how loud they can get; apple dongle DAC will do just fine for $10. When comes to desktop DSD chip Dacs it's pretty much the same thing so something like an smsl su1 will do fine and you'd need to step up very high up in price to get a marginal improvement so not worth it in general. As for R2R desktop DACs these are amazing but they are also generally more expensive. In summary DSD chip dacs have huge diminishing returns once you hit a certain quality and price point (i.e. smsl su1, Topping e30 lite, Shiit Modi). To really see a noticeable jump in performance R2R Dacs are where it's at but it will be pricey/

I went with the FiiO KA11 USB Dongle Dac it was cheaper and cause I have an old iPhone with lightning. I couldn’t tell if the IFI Go still ships with the lightning accessory. It is becoming harder to find lightning accessories. Your advice that all Dac are much the same gave me confidence to try the FiiO dongle and I just ordered a usb c and lightning adapters separately. Your headphones advise I follow it has definitely lead me right.

I got myself 9500 and when gaming it LITEREALLY disappears and is super comfy and sound for price in incredible! sounds better with a soudcard with a DAC/AMP combo

Pero donde lo compro porque no lo encuentro en ningún lugar!!

Do you hold any thoughts on Austrian audio hi x65

You can also connect it to a PlayStation via USB. That is indeed likely the entire point of the UAC 1/2 toggle functionality.

Wake and Drake.
