Spend like a day fiddling with eq

Yeah I might try my friend's amp thanks

Yeah I don't really have the option of testing them before hand so trying to buy headphones is pretty stressful. Selling or returning these are will plbe pretty hard in country though but I'll see what I can do.

Pretty sure he has a jds atom stack and from what he tells me they're great. Hearing you say your experience was similar to mine is really nice to hear since the internet seems to praise these cans so much.

Hmm hard to say from a sound demo but probably the hd600 because of how the vocals are presented.

I really don't know what the problem might be. It was probably just my expectations to be honest. The sundara sounded really good to me although they did have something missing for me, I just figured eq would solve that though.

I used to always eq my headset to be more neutral, but you might have a point, I'll give them some more time

Well I'm kinda scared of that sentiment since I've heard some people say that about the he400se compared to the sundara

I'm looking into maybe getting the hd600/hd6xx how do they compare?

Thanks man I appreciate you

Probably what I will do, thanks

Unless I'm missing something I probably just don't like them

Yeah I tried 2 cables, one balanced 2.5 mm and one normal 3.5 mm but no cigar. The more I listen to them the more I appreciate them but yeah I think I just dont like them and can't differentiate between low quality and something I simply don't like.

Aight thanks I'll keep that in mind

Yeah this hobby is not really cheap. But the weird thing is that I don't really see these things you praise. I'm starting to feel like I got a defective unit or something. When I tried the sundaras everything felt so textured and I could make out so many little details. But with the he400se I'm sure they're not gonna compete with the sundarad but they just sound cheap. I really have no way to describe them except for cheap and low resolution.

I pretty much am, I'll look into those, thanks

I'll probably try these with my friend's amp and I'll see how it goes.

Huh I see I knew these weren't gonna be on the same level as the sundaras but I guess I did get a bit too excited. Returning them is not really possible where I'm from but thanks anyway

Alright might try them with my friend's amp/dac.

Alright I'll try it with ny friend's amp/dac stack. Thanks for the input bro

Yeah honestly dealing with their software is a pain. Still couldn't manage to get 24 bitrate, even though its clearly advertised on their website

Yeah I probably just dont like the sound signature. Played flac files so I don't think that was the problem. I don't have a strong preference towards a v shape but I'll look into it. Thanks for the reply mate

Fiio k3 has a balanced 2.5 mm input and also k7 is wayyyyyy out of budget man

Wow thanks for the detailed answer. As far as I can tell its not a quality control problem. I tried to eq them but I just couldn't make them sound good no matter what I tried. Maybe it's something personal but I just really don't understand why people praise them so much. Also I find over ears much more comfortable than iems.

Sounds muddy and muffled without the amp as well
