Look up the model of the keyboard they were using. Then get that keyboard.

why are beyredynamic so anti consumer? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

Selling repairable things with readily available parts is anti consumer? Someone tell John Deere and Apple that they're failing hard! /S

Fun fact: drivers will perform poorer in higher altitudes due to thinner air.

You underestimate the Delta Airlines complimentary headphones.

If you had to break it down by percentage, how important would you rate source, dac, amp, and headphones/IEMs, in creating the best sound possible? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

Don't quantify it. That's about as useful as quantifying how a hamburger tastes.

Be sure to rest your ears too. Give them a break from loud noises for a week or two and see how things are.

Might be good to get a hearing test too to see if there's any issues and establish a baseline.

Stop listening to stuff. Go see a doctor.

research: streaming platforms, do you like amazon music? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

[–] ku1185@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Basically rehashing what others have said: sound quality is meh, catalog is good, it's cheap, but software sucks.

Qobuz sounds better but catalog sucks. Tidal sound quality is kind of all over the place IME but catalog is good.

Using Amazon until subscription runs out, then will consider moving to Qobuz.

the 6XX on Tubes (specifically OTL) is definitely endgame in my experience.

IMO 6x0's are very amp dependent. Also thought they were somewhat "meh" for a while until I started going through more and more source gear and finding some great pairings.
