Hello! I’m looking for suggestions for some wireless earbuds and am having a difficult time figuring out whats right based on online reviews. My budget is up to $350, and I currently have the JBL Vibe Beam 2 and also AirPods Pro 3. I honestly like the JBL ones more because they don’t just sound clearer, but the AirPods just really lack the bass that I like. I will not be using these for any studio stuff, just everyday listening. Might also be helpful to say I listen to a lot of metal and rock music. Bands anywhere from Breaking Benjamin to Lorna Shore and pretty much everything in between when it comes to different metal genres. If anyone has any recommendations, thank you so much in advance, and I’m also open to answering any questions if it would give you more insight.

So, it appears that I lost my Sennheiser True Wireless 3. No idea where and how but I can't find them. Haven't given up hope completely yet but it's not looking good. Only a year old too...

So I'm wondering what is currently seen as a good budget option. I'm happy as long as sound and battery life is acceptable, getting these cheap ones is my penance after all ;)

Budget and Location: Germany, ideally a bit under 50€, but 50€ as limit

Preferred tonal balance: Warm, but not too bass heavy.

Preferred music genres: Metal, Hard Rock, Rock

How the gear will be used: Everyday life with an android phone with Poweramp

Past gear experience: Sennheiser True Wireless 2 and 3

For context, I got the Hifiman Edition XS last week. They’re amazing

I also have DT 900 Pro Xs and 6XXs

I recently also got a Stream Deck and an XLR mk2 which has a high power headphone output and to be fair, the Edition XS sounded great on them

So should I bother getting an amp like a Topping DX1 II or a Fiio K11?

Or would that be a waste of money?

Any advice would be appreciated!!

I just want to maximize my headphones

Hello,

I have been using iems for a while and kinda bored of them, gonna buy my first pair and i listen to a lot of music and i game a lot mostly playing cs2.

Currently between these 3 options since i only liked them and theyre what i can buy for sure, if u have any more recommendations please let me know i will check if theyre available.

Philips Fidelio X2HR for 97$usd

Hello! I am building a game and I need a good headphone for audio editing/video editing and recording sound effects/voice lines.

I researched my options and found DT 700 Pro x and Sony MDR M1 around my budget. (350 dollars but prices fluctuate a lot because of tariffs so my options are limited)

Which one would you recommend for me?

Budget: $600 USD

Location: Canada

Use case: Music (Hyperpop/Industrial rock/Indie/Pop), Gaming (not many competitive games anymore, something that immerses me)

So due to an appartement change and changes to the arrangement of my setup, wired headphones wouldn’t really work/be practical for me (want to use them with my TV which is like 20 feet away from my computer and TV will be connected via a fiber HDMI).

I own HD 560s, and have tried 490 Pros before (great pair, super comfy). I was wondering if there exists something like that but wireless?

If there are any other solutions you guys can think of that’d be helpful as well

I was considering the steelseries nova prime and cloud 3 but I dunno now after the bad reviews. I live in india and bought the max's so tight on budget right now. Need something for shooting and story games. F. F. V

Hi,

Looking to upgrade from HiFiMan Edition XS. To be paired with FIIO K17. Listen to all sorts: 80s pop, indie rock and grunge, electronic, synthwave, house and techno, electronic orchestral/cinematic. Would really appreciate anyone who's had opportunity to compare Arya Organic and Fiio FT7, thank you!

Hi. I currently own a pair of Audeze Maxwell 1’s which are great for gaming and music. I am curious if anyone has a recommendation for a headset that would deliver best possible experience for watching movies and gaming. I got a 65” oled so I need to get something worthy for sound as well…

I own a great 1000w 5.1 speaker+subwoofer setup on my desk but looking for a headset because I cant be blasting loud sound and extreme bass on my speakers every day due to neighbors.

If there is a high end headphone that can deliver thunderous, deep bass with wide soundstage and clear vocals? I have no price limit so if any headphone can deliver that I would love to know.. ( will probably get a dac/amp to go with them)

first I was looking at HD800 s but they dont have that bass required for immersion in movies. Looking at Meze Empyrean 2 currently but not sure about the bass

Hey everyone, hope everyone is doing well.

I've been researching ANC wireless headphones since the last 15 days and torn between Momentum 5 and QC Ultra 2.

My main usage would be listening indoors.

I prefer the M5 sound but Bose's ANC is confusing me though some youtube reviews said M5's ANC is on par the big 3 now.

Price is not an issue in this case.

Any suggestions?

Is it possible to completely block out human voices (ie: from a person taking next to you or from a TV program playing nearby) with any of the noise cancelling headphones on the market? I'm basically looking for something that would result in complete silence if I'm for example sitting on a sofa while the person beside me is watching regular TV at a regular listening volume.

Hello, I recently broke my Sony XM4 headphones like a dumbass, and I've been trying to find a replacement but I'm stuck.

I've heard the build quality for the XM5 and XM6 are worse, so I don't really trust myself with those.

Right now I have the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra 2. When I tried them in store and for the first time at home, they sounded great, but now I'm facing a dilemma.

I'm a huuuge fan of bass. It just scratches my brain the right way. With the XM4's, it hit that itch perfectly no matter what was playing.

When it comes to songs that already have a good amount of bass, the Bose works great. But for songs that dont have as much bass, it doesn't sound as good. No amount of messing with EQ settings, phone settings, and Spotify settings is fixing it.

Not only that, but sometimes it sounds like the sound quality gets thinner/worse randomly and then goes back to normal??? I think? I'm sorry I know this sounds weird but I dont know how else to explain it.

Tl:dr Bose QC Ultra 2 headphones are not doing it for me right now, any tips to improve them or other headphones recommendations besides Sony (with really good bass) are appreciated.

Hi guys! Looking for a recommendation on a DAC/AMP that will work with the PS5 Pro and drive my DT1990 Pro’s. Does anyone have any recommendations for this?

I would prefer it to be a more budget-friendly option (perhaps sub 200 dollars) but just looking to see what you guys think.

Thank you in advance!!!

Hello, I have been thinking about switching up my headset for my PC. I currently use DT880 Pros w/o an amp since I am not that deep into the headphone space. I have had these for around 5 years now, and they are nice (I think?). I have always thought they were a little quiet, so I started thinking that maybe I am missing out on something. I've never heard things while gaming/listening to music or whatever and have been impressed or blown away. They are really comfortable though!

I am kind of wanting to try something new. I was thinking about switching to wireless headphones to do away with the cable and to be able to move around in my room with headphones on. After looking around for a bit, kept seeing things about the Audeze Maxwell 2s. I am actually quite curious to see if they sound significantly better than my current headphones, but I am worried about all of the complaints regarding its weight. I don't want headphones if they are not comfortable. I looked up how heavy my current headphones are, and apparently, they are only like 295g. Quite the weight difference between these and the Maxwell 2s.

What are some recommendations you guys have? I think I want them to be closed back, since the ones I have now are open and I hear a lot of my family & dogs barking often. It is not that bad, clearly since I have been rocking these headphones for the past 5ish years.

Thanks!

As the title says im looking for some headphones suggestions ive recently stopped using my sony wh-1000xm5's due to them breaking so im looking for something with atleast pretty good sound quality, wireless, with at least decent noise cancellation id like them to be budget friendly the max im willing to spend would probably be around 250 (due to me seeing the xm5's on sale for 200). I dont want them to have the same cheap feeling the xm5's had either the plastic felt so weak and brittle. the noise cancellation doesnt have to be top tier like sony but atleast decent to stop some wind or just loud talking when im trying to study or something of that sort. my main headphones as of now are the moondrop para so something of similar sound quality with preferably heavier bass would be great.
