2013 Channel Update: Headphones Room Pt. 1 - Intro

[@FaceTime101]

Saweettttt! I appreciate you taking out time to show us your progress in the new hose. Looks like you'll have a hard time finding some chill-time

[@JakeConrad777]

HOW MANY HEADPHONES DO U HAVE TOTAL????

[@MrPyroblastic]

I cannot wait to see your entire audio setup across your room !!!

[@markusrussell1889]

Yeah, I agree. Something bold, but nice, settling, and easy on the eyes. A proper color for a music listening room.

[@joluar78]

Congrats on reaching 10000 subscribers hifiguy! You're doing an awesome job!

[@miceblue425]

The audiophile program Amarra integrates with iTunes, so it would be a logical music player/library for a Mac user. Mike did mention Amarra in a previous video, so my best bet would be that he uses it. It's a commonly used program amongst Head-Fi users who own a Mac.

[@zinion70]

I would like to see an unboxing or review of: Velodyne vTrue, Focal Spirit Classic, Onkyo ES FC300, Harman Kardon Noise Cancelling headphones

[@Trance88]

I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do to this room! I want your cassette deck! I've been looking for a real high quality unit for years now.

[@UnBoXingsGalore]

I'm no audiophile not sure if all that equipment is needed today in a virtual digital and wireless world I figure all music streamed is of the highest sound quality and very nice setup

[@frankhuang4816]

Hey, Im looking forward to ur comparison between x10 and xb900.

[@AFIGHTCHANNEL]

The power stabilizer was beyond overkill.

[@terrykemp8131]

hi there Mike Great to see your new headphone test room. I am a big fan of yours. I am going to buy some new headphones soon I love either Sennheiser or AKG.

[@solesurvivor2k]

So I am really trying to shop around for the best Ear Cans!!! I currently own Studio Beats, but have tried to replace them with "better sound quality" headphones. I tried the Sennheiser momentums and the V-moda crossfade M-100. I think that I am just fixated on the fact that they don't have as much base as the Beats. Any suggestions?!?!

[@MrVic1954]

is the v link both ways? can you go optical out to usb? Are the wirless Dennons and xb 1000's just audiofile or good for studio as well?

[@CDario2512]

I want buy the dac and the amp,but a lot of forum say,it s not good,because it has a lot of problem of eletric energy...What do u think about?

[@valentinaerazo]

Hello, your videos are very helpful, I was wondering if you know of any great headphones that work well for plugging into a keyboard??? Because I need to replace my headphones, but was wondering if there are special ones I should buy. please let me know, thanks

[@KayleK14]

Is there any good equalizer software for computers that I can use?

[@HanDynastyNet]

under playback preferences in itunes let u select 24/192 does that not work?

[@USCx310]

Hey man I have the Sony x10...I hear a little muffle sound on the left ear does that happen to u.. My Total use time is like 3 hours though

[@ThatGuyIsLazy]

Hi Mike can you suggest me some phones, i listen to pop and jazz budget 200$ , detachable cord preferred. Was considering beyerdynamic custom one pro any suggestions?

[@AustinZveare]

See the Logitech UE 6000's tucked away in their case in that box.... I would have those out cuz their awesome.

[@beanboysmoto]

What's your best setup for listening to ANY music?

[@Mozo901]

what would you recommend as alternatives?????

[@mediaSophia88]

I would really like to visit your home. I bet we would get along great.

[@pettromill]

Hi Mike, Do you have a chance get Sennheiser Momentum headphones?

[@Dakhaner]

Hi I'm planning to buy a Philips downtown is a good choice? for 50 bucks?

[@r91976]

how's the musical fidelity amp compared to the lehmann bcl?

[@SeleezSE]

Where iare the 701/702s?

[@bigben2810]

I know itunes has many downsides, but what else would you recommend?

[@CDario2512]

What do you think about the set of Musical fidelity?

[@mediaSophia88]

Very nice headphone room.

[@alankearton8284]

I still sometimes use my cassette AM/FM Walkman! I love old tech.

[@BGDoesGaming]

where is your mdr x10 unboxing mate?

[@silisur]

what headphone/s do you use for your portable use?

[@jksmiles61]

Can you review the boom phones phantom review please respond

[@brandonxchang]

How do u get so many beats cables

[@DesuVR]

Sweet equipment, man! Thanks for showing us!

[@Headphoneaddict]

LOL, I will as soon as I have set it all up properly. I have a video from late October of last year, but a lot has been rearranged since then. Yeah, would be cool if you did a piece on AURALiC. They have a super high end new DAC too, AURALiC VEGA (€3,300(!)), which I'm curious about. I'm very happy with their ARK MX+ though, and it is much less (~$1,900).

[@theganteng97]

Is it MDR-X05?

[@WitheredAnge1]

You need to turn one of these walls into an headphone stand. Place a 4 inch round wood stick every square foot from wall to wall and floor to ceiling. It may just be enough for all your headphones. And it'll prevent them from getting scratches by stacking them on top of each others.

[@nayazlami]

Hey,can u suggest me a good headphone around ear. Currently am using shure 750 dj. Want to upgrade. I watch a lot of movies, so something compatible for that. How about PSB M4U2?

[@dreamworldxtc]

Hi there. Looking for a pair of headphones. I listen mostly rock music, (heavy, hard, metal etc.) I was hoping that you could list up a few that i should look into. Pricerange 200-300 dollars. Thanks.

[@notdescribed]

also what type of headphone stand are you using?

[@Mozo901]

You have anything for the mac?

[@derbigpr500]

Its the opposite of filters. High quality audiophile components will be as transparent as possible. Hi-fi means high fidelity, as true as possible to the source. The point of hi-fi is not to add components that will change the sound to make it nicer, the point is to remove stuff that cheap equipments adds to music, and to have as little interference with the original signal, so that music sounds as good as it sounded live when it was recorded.

[@SamuelAriasdVIDi]

looks good cant wait to see the finished product :D!!

[@JustinTse]

Good job mike!

[@frasermcmahon888]

Is that chair from ikea??

[@HanDynastyNet]

ur comment scared me. i've spent weeks converting flac to alac. if playing alac in itune output 24/192 khz does that still make foobar 2000 sound better?

[@UnBoXingsGalore]

I agree that vinyl is awesome I still have a collection of 45 and LP but find the streaming services very convenient

[@clarktista1]

What is better Denon ah d7100 or d7000? :-D

[@Headphoneaddict]

Your own headphones room, LOL! You're even sicker than me, Mike... My apartment is so small, and with all the equipment I guess we could call it a headphones apartment! :) Have you tried AURALiC TAURUS fully balanced headphone amp and/or AURALiC ARK MX+ dac? Just got the latter yesterday. I just uploaded a video about them. They look sweeter than sweet and sound as great as they look!

[@Mozo901]

You should go over standard audio things like....what is a DAC....what is an amplifier? It could be like an audiophile 101 series on your channel. I think it will be a hit...

[@gregorywilliford262]

Hifiguy if you can could you unbox the Tron T1

[@notdescribed]

what is your career? how do you get all this money? this is super awesome!!!! mind blown...

[@mrrsbots]

Pretty sure you can make iTunes accept FLAC

[@MrScotch74]

Do you have an EQ?

[@ProtectorofGray1644]

You should review aerial7

[@markusrussell1889]

Yessss, me too! I just really like old tech, especially when it deals with music, which seems very strange to everyone around me, because I'm only 18. Walking around with a CD player, and talking about getting a cassette player and vinlys. LOL

[@HanDynastyNet]

according to the author... from the faq's Q: Does foobar2000 sound better than other players? A: No. Most of “sound quality differences” people “hear” are placebo effect (at least with real music), as actual differences in produced sound data are below their noise floor (1 or 2 last bits in 16bit samples). Foobar2000 has sound processing features such as software resampling or 24bit output on new high-end soundcards, but most of other mainstream players are capable of doing the same by now.

[@rbrtphn]

Just a suggestion, I think you should test the headphones without all the amps and stuff. Just use your phone, ipod, or mp3 to test the headphones out cause most of us don't have any of those things so it would probably be more useful to tell us which headphones sound good with just using the phone, ipod, or mp3.

[@kittyjewel]

Audiophile cant live without cable

[@jackjill2697]

I like the updates

[@UnBoXingsGalore]

Understood but I think most people that stream music all day find the sound more than adequate from.most sources like Pandora from a smart TV or smartphone with a dock. I guess I will call that equipment various forms of filters but again only an audiophile notices the extreme high mid and lows and adjusts with this filter equipment the average person may enjoy just enjoy the music

[@ernestryles]

why not?

[@harobmx123]

nice setup man!

[@ginufine3011]

hifiguy528 - I need to ask a headphone and device compatibility question. Do you want me to email you or ask it on this video comment section?

[@paduaanthony33]

An olive drab green would be nice for your walls

[@markusrussell1889]

Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking about. Hifi guy really needs a wall of headphones!

[@MineTwine45]

You have cabinets to store your headphones, I can fit all mine in a desk drawer... You have way more than I do.

[@UnBoXingsGalore]

I have learned quite a bit on this threead and Thanks

[@Speedo6677]

Dang that is a LOT of headphones! And here I felt guilty buying one pair! Lol. What does your wife say about all this? I just subscribed, by the way.

[@CDario2512]

I like your room...

[@lyricfowler1624]

Why ain't u showing your beats uuuuuu duuuu

[@intelgigabyte]

I'd like those HD800 and T1...giveaway and I will worship you forever!

[@EndlesDeath]

8:05 "This side here is where i store headphones that im currently not using" 3 Boxes full, couldnt stop to laugh hahaha

[@xairvian]

all i need to listen to music is a mp3 player and some headphones....

[@LolxD-qz5me]

Awesome!

[@collectibleasmr]

Tron t1 was never officially released, and was cancelled by MONSTER. Any products out there now are bootlegs, and HIFIGUY58 doesn't touch bootlegs...

[@rbrtphn]

I think his Vmodas, Beats, and Sony headphones are target for phone, ipod, or mp3 player users. I think his videos should have categories separating the audiophile headphones and the average headphone user headphones. It make no sense to tell people the headphone sounds horrible on a your phone, ipod or mp3 and you need to buy like a $1000 headphone amp to power the headphone. Most of us are just everyday people just want to know which headphone works best with our portable players.

[@MickehPuppeh]

The power that's coming from the wall is CURRENTLY higher than 240 volts What you did there... I see it. c:

[@HanDynastyNet]

what does your wife thinks about all these stuff?

[@JakeConrad777]

Sorry about the caps :(

[@BlackRedandDEad]

I have the same denon amplifier as u :)

[@kwicksandz]

foobar 2k + waspi plugin

[@hngsrndsxjnxfgnxf]

most streamed music still cannot compare to the sound of vinyl my friend

[@marino4691]

if you werent an audiophile... if you were an electrician...

[@vivalacarlo]

in my opinion they lacked bass, they were pretty decent for the price, you won't regret it for 50 dollars but if you are into bass, i dont think you should buy it

[@BlvckTV]

you have a whole years salary sitting right there

[@morganwright1907]

EQ.

[@CDario2512]

I want bue

[@KeithN87]

This is serious! What does your wife think lol.

[@HanDynastyNet]

i seriously can not hear any difference

[@rbrtphn]

just keep on wait until you are old enough to get a summer job, then you can buy what every headphone you want, just don't get any beats they will eat up your money.

[@dho]

Probably not because we have Google.

[@markusrussell1889]

WHAAAAAAT! I'm still walking around with my Walkman CD Player. I got people looking at me like I'm an Alien or somethin', LOL! I do have a SONY mp3 player though that I use. Some are uncompressed files, but most are running at 320kbps, because the other files are like 20-50 mb's of space! I only have 16gbs, and over 1,000 SONGS, NOOOOOOOOO SHALL I EVER BE SATISFIED! Maybe a portable CD Player with a 5 disc CD changer? Nope I'll never be satisfied. LOL

[@theganteng97]

Oh nvm

[@kirholstov]

You should get a better microphone

[@derbigpr500]

All music streamed is rubbish quality. :P Its ok for average listening on cheaper equipment, but for really high quality, you either go for vinyl, which can be a pain in the ass, but its worth it, or simply SACD or CD.

[@jackjill2697]

You have way to much headphones lying around give some away
