Headphone random conversation

I signed up to Sirius XM. You can stream to your PC. It's $1/mo for the first three months with hundreds of channels. Listening to 90s grunge right now.

I need to figure out how to improve the sound quality, though. It's pretty bad right now. Going to change to my Fiio DAC and see if that improves things.

Oh wow. There's a free app in the Windows store (or from their website) called FX Sound. It makes a huge difference.

There are reviewers of headphones out there who don't tell you anything about the product, but how it makes them feel. It can take time to find people who actually describe headphones and what they sound like.

This isn't either of those types

Buy those or more likely buy the Fosi and use my Hifiman Arya Stealth headphones instead, as these are based on a lower quality version of Hifiman headphones

He didn't show the part where he downloaded Sonar and spent 20 minutes trying to get the sound to work.

Further reviews of Kithara show its better suited to gaming than music... that is its purpose after all

Can't watch vid at the moment, but they look cool.

If I didn't already have a pair of Hifiman headphones that are better than the planar headphones inside those that are also made by Hifiman, I would look at them.

If it was better than them I might have considered them. There is a price difference in their original retail prices though. The Asus ones cost about 300 there, the Hifiman Arya Stealth were 1600 on release. So there should be a difference in sound as well.

It comes with 2 cables, one with a microphone attachment and other is just for listening to music. The second one is actually better than the one that comes with Hifiman headphones. Mainly as the cable has detachable connectors, so one cable can be 3.5, 4.4 or 5.6mm outs. Exactly like IEM do it now.

Uses same cable connectors on headphones end as Hifiman so can use custom cables if you want to. One thing you can't say for hyperX. The custom cables I have for my Arya would work on them too.
