It really depends of the music you're listening to. If you listen to rap or electro for example, they expect you to listen to it with headphones that by default have extra bass, it's the type of music designed to be listened with beats or skull candy and other bass heavy stuff, so when you listen to it with Flat Beyer dynamics or Sennheisers you technically do not listen to it the way it's intended to, I can tell you from experience that there's songs that sound absolutely sad and bland if you listen to them with flat-ish headphones and no specific EQ. But yeah, I don't know why you even think that matters, like, if he likes bass boost, he likes bass boost, how does that affect your life, why do you care ?
@atziluth51983 жыл бұрын
@@imnota Music is intended to be listened with a speaker that supports the full range of frequencies (ear buds and some "gaming" headphones don't). If the artist/sound guy has bass boosted headphones with an unbalanced EQ, then whatever he intends the music to sound like will not be what it actually sounds like with a balanced EQ. So in order to make the best balanced music, his headphones' EQ must be as neutral as possible. And then to hear the music in its purest form, you also listen with a balanced EQ. If you turn on bass boost, you can unintentionally create muddiness in the lower frequency range and cause them to cover up some of the mid tones. Hopefully this helps.

I've had the HD650 since December and paired it up with the Fiio E10K at first, truth be told it doesn't really have enough power for it, luckily you can add a dedicated amp and use the Fiio E10K as a dac exclusively using the line out on the back of the unit, an Objective 2 really improved my audio, but since it looks like you're in the US I'd recommend the 110 dollar Magni 3, if you're willing to spend a little more Massdrop has a 250 dollar CTH hybrid tube amp available right now, I just got mine and it's incredible with the 650. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing inherently wrong with the E10K + HD650 combo, but I just wanted to make you aware that the 650 benefits from improved amplification quite a bit, if you don't want to spend any more money and are happy with your current setup, then great!
5 жыл бұрын
The HD58X on Massdrop has a 150 ohm impedance instead of 300 ohm. I don't know if that make them easier to drive / how the experience is with the Fiio or onboard sound but if it sound very similar but it easier to drive and cost quite a bit less then all that is nice.
@warfam_clan69335 жыл бұрын
The 650's scale well. The better the amp, the better the headphones get. Put the 650's with a 1000 dollar tube amp and they will sound as good as a 1000 dollar set of headphones. This is why most high end headphone enthusiasts will have a set of 650's in their collection.
@warfam_clan69335 жыл бұрын
@Master Drakthorian . The 650's play very nice with a tube amp. Tubes are great for running high impedance loads and the 650's are rated at 300 ohms. Perfect for tubes. Also the distortion that tubes introduce to the audio signal gels very well with this headphone making them sound so liquidy and sweet. A match made in heaven as they say!

In general open backed headphones are going to be better with positional accuracy and distance, usually making them the superior with competitive gaming. With the ADx line in particular it's impossible to get anything better (again referring to competitive gaming only here). With good sound engines you can hear the exact location (direction and distance) of the slightest footsteps. Other headphones might sound more "fun", but nothing can beat the ADx line in positional accuracy. There may be a few out there that come really really close or even match the ADx line, but nothing that exceeds it. And the beautiful thing is the low end of the ADx line gives the exact same performance as the high end of the line in terms of positional awareness.
@aleefmohammed2445 жыл бұрын
@@mohamedshuaib2424 Definitely. For FPS competitive gaming , Audio Technica ADx line (ADX700x imo) is the best. Pair it up with a good DAC (Fiio E10K) and you've got yourself a very good audio setup. Even for adventure games like Witcher 3 or Assasins Creed Origins / Odyssey it works well too ( for me atleast , because in reality and real life , if you are in a jungle terrain with animals there isn't any bass). The only downside of this headphone is you must get a separate mic and the bass is not strong but thats the selling point for FPS competitive games, you want minimal bass as possible.

I am sorry but you should have not bought the HD 650, especially as a a gamer/Twitch streamer. The FiiO E10K also is not viable to run that headphone, I have the very same and I recommend you only use it for headphones with 100ohms max not even 150ohms which is what it recommends, the HD650 needs 250 ohms to run and I just my Audio-GD R2R-11 to for it. AKG K712/Fidelio X2/AD-900X/700X/DT990/DT770 would have been the perfect choice for gaming imo and would easily work with Fiio depending on the type of sound you want/comfort. I strongly recommend you refund HD 650 while you have the time and buy another alternative. HD 650 is not good for gaming at all, it is a neutral slightly warm, you should go for preferrable a v-shape with low-end for general gaming or very bright for fps.

Did you have any issues with the new headphones hurting your ears after a couple of hours of gaming? I've recently gotten the HD58x with Sennheiser GSX 1000 and after a couple of hours my ears start to hurt like I've been at a concert or something. I've had the volume low too and still doing it.

is there a reason you don't use the interface for the headphones? I have the audio technica m50x headphones.
@cameronleaney78605 жыл бұрын
why would you not just use your Focusrite interface? Converters in that will be similar if not better than the Fiio

Nice video thank you. Can you tell me or the Dragonfly Red dac will do it with them.?
@bob911665 жыл бұрын
just a heads up that your audio interface already has a really good DAC, and you dont have to use an adapter for your headphones either

Went with HiFiMan 400's and FiiO E10K's and I couldn't be happier.

You probably should have got the HD 58X when it was dropping on Massdrop. I have a pair of HD 660 S and I bought a pair of HD 58X for my brother. He is using an Audioengine D1.. The HD 58X is an amazing headphone for the money.

Don't you need an amp to push these cans?? Straight from DAC?

Qk9CWU5ib3x facts. He clearly doesn't know a lot about audio. But he might push them off of his focusrite audio interface

I went for the Audio-Technica ATH-AD700X, but yeah I agree with you on all your points, I think its time for me to move away from a gaming headset. Maybe I'll graduate to an HD 650 eventually lol.

What do you do about mic with such a setup?

Try the PSB M4U 8's. I played C. O. D. with these connected to my Xbox controller and they sound absolutely incredible. Or try the Beats PROs. yes I know they are beats, but they have excellent sound stage and bass for movies and gaming.

I have the massdrop 02 headphone amp. Could that power these?
@hazardousjazzgasm1295 жыл бұрын
you do have an amplifier for those 300ohm cans, right

Really you can still an amazing experience off the motherboards built in DAC given the motherboard has a good DAC. The second most important factor is the amp dude. Blow your ears out. Hook your headphones to an amp. I don't really like FiiO dacs in comparison to Schiit Audio.

specter116 because you so careless. If you spent your own money on your stuff you would do some research and actually be smart enough to know not to spend that much money for a headset if your on a Xbox
