Reply to comment by [deleted] in What are some of the headphones which most replicate speakers? by natidone
I've been a vegetarian all my adult life, and I have the opposite issue... Damn meat eaters asking if everything tastes like meat. I haven't eaten meat for over 20 years, I have no fucking idea!

Focal Radiance - went in to demo the Bathys, came out with the Radiance and a Fiio btr7 as I realised that most of the time I'd be tethered to my laptop and the times I wasn't, this still sounded better than the Bathys to overcome the slight annoyance of cables.
For IEMS it's my trusty Jerry Harvey JH7's, so clear and the sound is like it's coming from inside your head (but that's a good thing).

They're closed back, and have a 1/4 inch connector in the box.
Not sure what the listener Pro sounds like, but the Radiance have good, punchy bass - I'd recommend trying to go listen to some options if possible though, as what se people love, others think is just meh, haha.

I have the Focal Radiance and they work well for gaming/footsteps and sound good with music etc.
They don't seem to have the issues earlier Focals had either.

The ear impressions were one of my favourite parts!
The total, complete silence. Even thought of starting a business doing it for busy parents who just want some peace hahahaha!
Oh wait, I had the old style ones with the putty stuff.

The Meze copper (I went for the 4.4 balanced version) cable is a good addition to them, the stock cable is too annoying!

I use them with a Fiio btr7 when gaming and they sound good - are there any settings that might be causing it (spatial sound or whatever it's called)? Or the sound card on the pc perhaps?
As gunshots etc sound beefy rather than hollow on mine...?

Reply to Possibly a stupid question, Is there a cable that I could use to convert my IEMs to Bluetooth when I need to? by xolhos
The Fiio UTWS5 will give you a better sound quality than the az09 - if definitely check it out.

Reply to Why do people buy more than thousand dollar headphones instead of speakers? by BC_LOFASZ
They are 2 different products with 2 different uses.
It's like asking why do you use a tablet when you have a TV at home.
I'm guessing most people with have both, I know I do.
Plus, people tend to get shitty when I take my speakers on the plane...
