yup

X2HR. Not the most popular around here, but I don’t care. They’re fun, they sound good, and they are ridiculously comfortable on my (giant) head.

Denon 9200 is very very good all a rounder to my ear, but the th900 can be EQed to a satisfying bass slam.

I cannot reccomend the HD560S enough. staging may not be nearly as wide as the K702, but the tonality is imo unmatched in that price range (if we're talking open-back)

You are returning 3 of them, right?

I think you can safely return or throw away the KZ if you have the Airpods lol, their tuning is atrocious

Currently I have the Hifiman HE1000V2 and the Astell & Kern x Empire Ears Odyssey. The odyssey is what I’d keep.

I just want to thank people like you in this community for dissuading me of the notion that burn in is a thing that exists.

the over ears are a miss. also don't understand why you need wired IEMs and airpods, are you a musician perhaps?

660s are on sale on Amazon for US$290 right now. Price might come down more with the S2s releasing Tuesday.

Radius deep mount clear edition. The most comfortable and clearest sounding eartips I have ever used. Didn't realize how uncomfortable Azla earfitMax was until I swapped them. It feels like a veil has been lifted after I used them.

Not sure why you would buy two different closed back headphones and some IEM though ? Just buy a very good one instead haha (or get a good open back (and maybe some EQ app for the computer if needed for the bass), when you try it, you never get back to closed backs haha. The AirPods are real useful for city use though !

Sincerely, all of that, not nice for the price, It is not bad audio quality, you just overpayed It.

Spinfit CP155, AZLA Xelastec SednaEarfitLight and Spinfit W1

Thank you.

Yup!

Huh, that’s a lot of biodynamics. Which one of the wooden Fostex/Denon/Emu is you favorite?

I have an original Element and keep debating if I want to upgrade to the latest model, but I don't have any complaints about it so haven't pulled the trigger yet. Love the huge volume knob!

🤣🤣🤣🫢

i bought the both over ears for like, 80 bucks

Here.

Those are my ratings of my 17 headphones/IEMs, arranged by chronological purchase order.

• Most impressive sound: Focal Elegia
• Most enjoyable sound: Grado Hemp
• Overall favourite headphone: Senn 6XX
• If I had to keep only one: AirPods Pro 2 (due to all the convenience factors)

I love the X2HR too! Thought about picking them up since they are so cheap, but I really wanted a close back to compliment my Clears. Isolation isn't as big of a thing for me, more leakage, but agree none I've tested seem to be great at isolation.

Literally this! The cheap chifi iem fad was a neat novelty back when the chu and the zero were the only real game in the market. Not even a year later, and the market is utterly oversaturated.

Agreed. My wife has the Focal radiance, I prefer the noire, but overall the radiance do sound better so ultimately I couldn't really justify keeping them both, but I have thought about getting them again as I'm still deciding how I feel about iems, and the Sony mdr-z1r I enjoy, but the price tag still tough to swallow lol.
