well not all open-back r equally "open?". my 6XX doesn't leak much sound in/out because of the heavy driver damping materials. Compare that to the XS, oh boi, its like wearing nothing.

remember theres Endgame and there are DLCs lol

well, ill say this, the XS sounds really really good, never for a second that I doubt the purchase. BUT the fit is a hit or miss, my coconut is on the HUGE side of the big. I maxed out the R70x wing suspension system they have(I have to bend the headband). So I thought oh so the XS has to fit me like a glove... NO, fit every loosely(could be good or bad)even for big ass head, pressure point under the ear-lope(after 2-3hr).

I haven't try the BTR7 yet, no demo unit sadge. But I wouldn't get it either, the bigger form factor doesn't fit my use case. cuz I clip my BTR5 to the "pen holder" slot of my shirt while the BTR7 doesn't have a clip/case.

The XS running thru the BTR5(BAL) is pretty well driven, w about 10 clicks away from max(High gain). But IMO, it doesn't sound that good, too airy to the point where it sounded thin, loses that BASS more like bass now lol. XS thru the A50s is a league above ngl. I have the B2, not B2D, and to compare to 2 is like comparing 1kg of steel and 1kg of feathers. 1 has the soundstage, the airiness, and the bass impact, while the B2 is just clean and surgical. That's not to mention it's 2 different experiences.

Senn HD820, build like a tank sounds like a bitch lmao

Very uncomfortable w the Edition XS and 6XX, no problem w Aeon Closed X and R70x. I find IEM w weird ear hook shape to be more annoying w glasses than hp.

oh and do not trust your phone's built-in app, like my Samsung well-being app. If I plug in all the numbers of my IEM w a dongle DAC at max volume into a headphone calculator, it came out to @ 122db, while the app only shows 98db. BIG OOF, blindly trust it gonna make it worse

P/S: I posted this on the other sub, someone asked the same question

i use my BTR5 tethered to a laptop w 100 meter USB c cable and I was like

> "damn, this was an amazing idea"

haha no worry i just wanna poke fun at ppl when they use the "Beats marketing phrase". I used to like a really bass-boosted audio gear until I try some warm neutral, a bit bright stuff.

>the SE215 was more "accurate" (similar to what the music should actually sound like)

no lmao

Return that, no point in keeping it when u cant even keep it to your ears. I mean w those ear tips provided and it still cant stay put, that just comes down to bad ergonomic

hmmm, i agree that 10 is a bit much, but switching every week between my R70x and XS keeps me going. Just yesterday, I never felt this euphoric switching back to R70x playing some tech house lol. Preventing "sound signature burn-in" is the best way to save money.

Saying that I have the DCA Aeon Closed X, and 6XX on the way FUKKK ME

Copium

Its CP240 tip, i use it at home cuz B2 doesn't have a lip that catches the tip, so it falls out rather easily moving a lot. For outdoors, I switch to Springtip(rip from my Chu), which stays in place but is a bit of a shallow fit.

Me, i capture the moment w the music. So when I heard that piece of music I re-live the moment. Its a weird thing to say out loud as I do a bit of photography. Looking at photos I re-experience not re-live that frame of life, cuz my brain didn't make the connection w the music.

Same problem, my left ear is always the problem child. But I find that double/triple flange tip helps a lot, not 100% satisfied but better than losing the seal constantly. My B2 and Chu

Album See The Sound by Etro AnimeMostly modern Jazz w electronic flair, "Persona" music, Liquid DnB, some RnB

I came across the album by accident, I was just looking for the opening OST of SMT:DDS2(videogame I played as a kid). Songs called "Danger" and out of curiosity found the band, they only produce this 1 album.

>I just don't know what to do anymore

U said it in the title lol
