Reply to what's up with the moondrop lan? by no7_ebola

I thought the Chu was aight with a good seal and running through ifi gear the bass boost made it nice and thumpy. Sure other sets might be better for the price of a LAN but I get a new waifu and good sound to enrich my... laifu? lol, i tried, I'll see myself out.

I have one on the way and will give it a spin as soon as it arrives.

I tested them when I was looking ended up getting the Bathys. Actually how I started my journey, upgrading my Bluetooth options ended up getting wired as well. Those H95 definitely come with the bass too!

How long have you had the HE500, the fact that they are still going strong is awesome! I'm hoping these headphones I have the life lives up to the price tag not just the sound!

OK hereā€™s one. I got some Surface Headphones free from Microsoft and used them for years. I started to think about an upgrade to audiophile phones and auditioned some Focals, Grados, and the HD6xx. I was very surprised to find how good the Surface ones sounded in comparison. Maybe my ears were just so used to the sound after thousands of hours of listening but Iā€™ll say that those Bluetooth, office focused closed-backs donā€™t sound too bad.

64audio is on my opinion a good step up if you're looking to upgrade. The u12t specifically was about the same size as the M9 but it was really forward sounding with amazing detail and absolutely slamming bass.

I think that they are a definite step up. The Sundaras are very neutral and I find that they can sound thin with certain songs. I donā€™t find them at all fatiguing though and can wear them all day. Most of my friends and family who have tried all my headphones would put these second to the LCD-X. The Audeze have far better imaging and layering in my opinion. Despite their weight, I find them very comfortable too and can wear them all evening. I do EQ them though. I have Sonarworks Sound ID Reference for headphones and the flat setting sounds amazing. I also have the Oratory1990 settings too. I alternate between genres and use either setting accordingly. I canā€™t imagine needing to upgrade these any time soon.

Tricky question this. Iā€™ve got some fantastic headphones (in my flair) of which probably the most used are my HD-650 lately because of comfort, but if I had to choose just one it might be the Blessing 2 Dusk. Those things are honestly insane. I never thought IEMs could possibly come close to over ear and I only bought these for listening in bed without disturbing my wife, but wow. They blow me away every time. Of course there are things my over ears can do better (like soundstage), but the portability and bed friendliness of the IEMs gives them a level of utility that I couldnā€™t do without for my sole listening device. Plus they sound good enough that I would never really miss the others.

Donā€™t have a favorite headphone, but my favorite IEM as of now is the T3 plus EQā€™d to the 2019 IE Harman target with JVC spiral dot tips.

Wait, when did DankPods cover the hd 200 pro? Must have missed that video. But otherwise, I dont want to sound mean, as since you're just starting; but I would toally rec returning some of these and investing in something like a 560s or 58x which sound so much better than anything here for $150

The Aeon Noire are up there. They sound fantastic without an EQ, and with an EQ I can bring the mids back slightly which is their only flaw for me. Single best headphone purchase I've made. No need to worry about exterior sounds at all, and can listen at a lower volume because of it.

However for gaming I've been using the DT770 since I can't be bothered to move the Noires to the living room everytime. They live at my desk. I prefer the T1s for gaming, but being open I have to be picky about when to use them.

I would recommend not spreading yourself thin on multiple mid/low-fi headphones and rather saving up for a single hifi headphone.

You have 4 headphones right there and realistically the airpods are going to get the most use. Could have just bought those and saved your money for something nicer.
