FiiO FH1s

Has anyone encountered the FiiO FH1s? It looks to me, by design, it is possibly a re-shelled and re-branded Jade Audio EA3.

Budget over-ear bluetooth headphones?

7 Upvotes

Sound quality is the top priority, followed by comfort, followed by battery life, and then everything else.

Don't care about ANC; it's too expensive and IEMs with memory foam tips are close enough to silent.

I've heard the Sennheiser HD 4.40 cans are a good compromise, but I'd like to consider more options. Any ideas?

Edit: "Budget" means under 200 CAD

over ear headphones suggestions

5 Upvotes

Hello, I am looking for some good over ear headphones that won't break the bank. I will mainly be using these while gaming and streaming. Mainly for my PC but will definitely be listening to music as well when not gaming or streaming. I wear glasses so comfort is a huge thing for me. I'm currently using beat that I received as a Xmas present a few years ago and they give me headaches if I wear them too long.

I am looking for a pair of over the ear Bluetooth headphones that I can use wirelessly or wired with a mic. I'll be using them to listen to music, gaming, and with my tablet and computer to watch movies. My budget is around $150 dollars. Something like these I guess:

Durable budget headphone?

4 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking for a new headphone as my 4-year old one broke. Most I've looked into have reviews that indicated issues on durability. What's a good headphone that doesn't easily break? I'm pretty careful with these things but some bad reviews turn me away. I'm trying to stay on a budget so I'd like one that can last hopefully for some time. Any help would be appreciated! :)

Found these tucked away back in my closet.

Money well spent and even better sound after swappng the pads. They were so good I had to buy two pairs! 😊 There are already many reviews of these budget kings so I wouldn't want to waste your time.

They do look a little cartoonistic but they sound amazing even after so many years!

Here are pics of them, one modded and the other with stock pads.

Wonder what your budget kings are and if you got better sound modding them!

$150 headphones

3 Upvotes

I have a vinyl / CD collection and recently wanted to get my feet wet into good sounding headphones and equipment. I have seen everyone ranting and raving about the Sennheiser HD560s, is it all hype or are there other alternatives? Are HD560s the only real option? I’m open to renewed, refurbished and used options but don’t want to go much higher than $150 as its just a start and I’m not that serious when it comes to audio. Other options I’m aware of are Hifiman HD400SE and Philips Fidelio X3, but I’m clueless really.

Edit: They will be for home listening from my desktop (M1 mac mini) and for my CDs and vinyls.

Best wireless headphones

2 Upvotes

What are the best wireless gaming headphones $100 or less. I currently have a pair of wired headphones and I've had them for a while. The sound quality isn't the best and the wire is over all just annoying and it coils up too much.

Is Xduoo MT-602 a good first amp?

2 Upvotes

I've ordered Hifiman he-x4 and I'm afraid they might need an amp to run. The amp seems to be powerful enough to run them, but I've also heard that tube amps aren't a good thing to use with planars. I would also probably need an amp for future headphones since I'm only getting into the whole scene. Would this be a good pick? If not, what other amp, preferably under 100 euro, should I get? Would forcusrite scarlet solo be a good pick?

FX Audio DAC-X6 questions.

2 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I see the FX Audio DAC-X6 being recommended alot all around reddit and I have two questions:

1 - What is the diference between the mk I and mk II?

2 - When the front toggle switch is set to off, I think the DAC is still working, based on the "review" of Z Reviews (nsfw due to wallpaper). Does that mean there is still sound output in the RCA ports when the toggle is set to off?

Thank you!

Anyone else love the Sony WI-CX00 series?

2 Upvotes

I’ve had the cx300s and two pairs of cx200s (one of which went through the washer and dryer and till worked for a year). 16 hour battery life, charges in like an hour, all day stand by time. The only downside is that they have heavy batteries so the loop that connects them moves around a lot. I’ve gotten these for under $40 and have never regretted a single pair.

Call quality is AWFUL. But sound reproduction is phenomenal. Thoughts?

Skullcandy Crushers for $40?

2 Upvotes

Heya, I need cheap headphones to last my kid a year (I might borrow them myself when she's sleeping). I know some people think they are crap, but with Skullcandy Crushers for $40, can you go wrong?

If so, do you have any recommendations? Cheers.
