I gave up worrying about cables a while ago, analogue and especially digital, however, placebo is real and I do enjoy tinkering and comparing

:C you tricked me

surprise; it's not just impedance

look up Jerry Harvey Bertha lol

idt treoo has a physical store; I think you mean jaben

you definitely don't keep up with the market

“Who, ME?!”

And his ranking can be bought, I think if u pay him $1k u can put any headphone to S tier. It’s on his sponsor link I think

The top ten are all Moondrop collabs. Some haven't even been released yet. Weird.

Not meant as a personal attack nor to be condescending - just stating a fact. Most consumer-level HPs are bass boosted. IOW, no lies detected. Look at professional HPs like the HD-600 and see that their bass isn't nearly as boosted as Bose, Beats, or Skullcandy - it's much more "reference" - yet most consumers like those latter brands' SQ more than the Senns. As a matter of fact, if I let a typical novice consumer hear Bose/Beats side by side with an Arya or HD-800S - they'd likely choose the former b/c of the name recognition/marketing along with the bass boost. Again, no lies detected.....

id say that the anni will be placed in s- instead of the mmk2 but we'll find out soon

Is the difference between H6Pro and 560S big? I see a lot of people recommending 560s. And what about watching movies? How is it?

Well that is the true endgame... Enjoying the music

And hearing. If I make a list 1 year and then again another year or two down the road it will undoubtedly be different because my hearing has changed.

Yea…but dey sparkly tho

It depends honestly, you find out what he likes and apply to what you like and find the differences, then use him as a guide to what would work best for you. My preference is close to his ideal target but with more bass and less treble. Was easily able to find my favorite IEMs by using his list and rankings. It works best if you have similar tastes as the reviewer though.

That means a revisit of Zeppelinandco, TREOO and other IEM shops in Singapore

that's sth i need to try, thanks for the tip

You don't need surround sound for pinpointing things in-game. That's what soundstage and imaging does natually with open backs. I have the 560S plugged into my motherboard without an amp or any software other than the EQ software for my motherboad's audio chipset. I easily hear people in BF 2042. I hear them running around and I can pinpoint their direction and distance from me clearly even when they're like 50 or 70 meters away. Ask anyone here and they'll tell you the same thing. Try different things and see what you like as audio is subjective. I've tried various headsets and headphones with and without surround sound virtualization.

Corsir HS80 with Dolby Atmos

Razer Blackshark V2 Pro wireless with their surround sound

Steel Series Nova 7x with theirs

And many others. I've been on the hunt for a good audio setup for years and I've landed on the 560S. I might buy a sound card later on or amp/DAC for better audio performance because I want to experience the difference.

I'm not just telling you my take on surround sound without some frame of reference. I have years of experiencing other solutions and the 560S wins hands down for me. Take it with a grain of salt though and you'll have to run through your own trials until you find what you want.

Saw a cable on amazon for HD800s that cost about $800. All the reviews were going on about how “rich” the sound was

But if you know How your opinion differs, it is almost as usefull as if it was identical.

thank you, I'll see some YouTube videos and see what I can do, as that is far more easier than dealing with koss internationally

Again, you completely disregard the impact of digital filters on the sound. To mitigate this negative impact, the higher the sampling rate, the better

I already have the Zeros 😁

You should.
