Clear Mg isn't an upgrade at all, it's pretty much a Clear with less metallic timbre

Yeah I really wanted to try the Arya SE but seeing the dozens of weekly posts on here, no thanks

Where'd you buy it from? (The cover)

The 800S would be best for fps games but not very good for metal music. I see you seem to like Beyers, the 1990s are awesome for both metal and fps games

"known to snap" mate it's like a 1/100,000 chance of it happening, insanely rare. There's probably what, 500k+ focals out there if not more? I can count on one hand the amount of headband snap posts on this sub.

I listen to EDM and nothing sounds better than my $1600 TH-900s

Those things are $15k AUD. One day

The Audio-Technicas are twice as much as the LCD5 though

For $80 they're very comparable to similar priced products. For $350 they're a complete ripoff

Bloody hell I didn't realize they were 650g, that's crazy

K7 is easily the best amp/DAC combo sub $300 out right now, Schiit doesn't come close

How loud do you listen? I can't play music through my Clear at a comfortable volume and hear anything even 3 feet away

Months*

Same here, very tempted by a pearl white TH900 though

The X2s were insanely popular years ago, before the 6XX

They're in stock at Kennerton, the hard to get edition is the one you send to JM for his mark II version

Hey we used to get summer on Vancouver Island

I'll be honest in saying that you should hear no difference between onboard audio and a cheap amp/DAC, if you have modern (2018+) motherboard.

The change in sound is your motherboard output probably has audio enhancement turned on which does alter sound usually for the worst

Yeah Schiit really is Shit. JDS Labs is better in every way, especially for international buyers

Thomann is great, is where I bought my AH-D9200s from

Did you use a different drill bit for every hole? Kidding, looks great! First time for everything, every time you build something you learn for the next time

The Astro MixAmp works great for studio headphones, can power most things perfectly fine outside of planars. I still use mine for console gaming 10 years later

Really funny because the Atom has one of the worst knobs

I got the K7, it uses a laptop style charger where the wall plig is normal and there's a box in the middle of the cable

I also use the DN8PRO for my 9200s, fits well
