Have you looked into the Focal Elegia?

putting l-cush on the 325x lowers the bass

Nah, I have plenty that also broke. Learning how to do the roadie wrap is probably what helped keep my cables going for so long. The not-too-garbage quality ones though.

Rs2x, it's just magic with rock. Its about as far from any popular FR curve you can think of but damn if it isn't fun to listen to with specific genres.

Not sure about upgrades, I've been wanting to try out the rs1x for the 50mm driver but have heard its a different flavour. Not as aggressive and exciting.

The 325x was too bassy for me and sounded closer to generic harman.

None, once you've heard one grado you've heard them all.

Huh I must just be a bad cable owner

I guess it's me

Na what

If your phone has headphone output or if you have an old phone with 3.5mm then those should work too. The 177x are intended to be easy to power so anything should fine enough to test.

I‘ve adjusted the volume accordingly and even tweaked the Equalizer but to no avail. I connected the 990s to my phone aswell and watched some movie clips on there, but the same deal… perhaps the headphones are faulty, because I too cannot believe it

I have the 177x and they are a bit boomy on known-good DAC/Amps. Not terrible but definitely a bit bloated. It may be that the LG actually reduced the lower frequencies and you got used to that sound so by comparison they sound wrong.

i have never had a cable break on me since i stopped using cheap shitbuds from walmart

DT990 don't have enough high end. Are you a bat?

I realize this is borderline humor (especially the title) though i do think it's interesting to discuss AI in regards to headphones, and how it understands them (or doesn't).

The AI knows the truth: planars = more like plainers, rebadged white-label Alibaba products = real neutral hi-fi endgame

My Grado 325is with the garden hose cable still work. I’ve had them for more than 10 years now.

The cable on my Fostex TH-X00 looks all janky, but it still works after 6 or so years.

That’s pretty much it for long lasting headphone cables. I do have some Monoprice RCA cables that are older than middle schoolers 😂

?????

What

Have you adjusted the volume between the two? Because if you use the same volume settings for the 990 as for the hyper x the former will be quieter because it is less efficient.

If that aint it, I don't know what is.

The 990 has EAR PIERCING treble.

You need a DAC and a 6.35mm TRS jack as input....

You could use an Apple dongle and a 3.5mm to 6.35mm cable...

You could also use your mobos line out and said cable...

It aint that hard, is it?????

Have you contacted the manufacturer?

• You should. For product support, please first contact the manufacturer. Reddit can't do much about broken or faulty products.

FAQ

• Do you need an external DAC?

• How much power do my headphones require?

Why does this rule even exist?

Is this similar to what you have (these are the inputs/outputs I need)? https://www.thomannmusic.com/beyerdynamic_connection_cable_t1_2nd_xlr.htm. Looks pretty nice actually

Stock Beyer cable getting pulled on hard almost every day for a year now and no issues at all.

When it’s about a topic I don’t things about it can be. I never got a clear answer on my issues on what exactly I needed. Do you even know the answer to my question? If so, why do you spend your time berating me for asking a simple question that I wanted an answer to. Takes you just as much time to answer my question as it does the ridicule it.

It cannot be that hard to use google to find answers.

Did you try putting the output from your pc sound card into the input on your amp? If it sounds ok, then no need to buy extra stuff.
