Only ever heard good things about Hart Audio, maybe gonna look into them, but international shipping to Europe + import taxes are a bit much for just a cable (close to 100€) :(

Playing overwatch with my HD6XX sounds just like I think it should sound. I don't have any complaints about gaming with them and they image better than other gaming headphones imo so I'm quite happy with them.

I also like to enable the bass boost on my iFi Zen Dac for my background music to sound better, so maybe that kinda fixes the hollowness a bit.

It's mostly not the compression on youtube, but what happened before it.

Put a FLAC on youtube and it'll sound amazing as opus ~128kb (more or less what youtube uses) is pretty transparent to most. But download some music off youtube with a yt2mp3 converter, remix it into a new MP3, make it a video with AAC audio, upload it to youtube and now we're talking.

Ha, my 200$ dollar amp even got that volume knob.
