Which headphones do you have and ACTUALLY use?

You make my life harder, not easier :slight_smile:

If I buy over ears, it will be a monitoring headphones.
But first I need to find a replacement for my wonderful Bose Ultra Earbuds…

About the FiiOs: The JT3 seems to be more HIFI-oriented, while the JT7 is more neutral, which should be good for monitoring.

While both have a slightly V-shaped sound signature, the JT3 has more bass and warmth, whereas the JT7 offers more balanced bass and treble and is generally more neutral-sounding.

The JT7 has a wider soundstage, but its shape is less spherical than JT3’s smaller, more rounded stage. Although the JT7’s imaging is more defined, its images appear to come from the sides, whereas JT3’s images are projected towards the front.

Even though the JT7 has less bass, I feel it sounds more dynamic compared to the JT3, as the faster transients with the JT7 are more apparent to my hearing.

But overall, they are not far apart in terms of dynamics, and both are equally musically engaging.

Ok how about this.

Here’s the music

Here’s the list of test I’ve done for you in the last half and hour. It’s the first time I tried the Sennheiser Ambeo Smart Headphones. it’s so cool.

FiiO JT7. Man it takes longer than I thought it would. The mic is quite sensitive and there’s some shirt brushing noise at the beginning. In the way it’s kinda cool as we know it works :rofl:

I made the recording for JT1 and HD6xx for comparison I’ll post that later.

Let me know how it sounds

What is your recording process?

You put the Sennheiser Ambeo Smart Headphones in your ears and than put the JZ7 over that and record?

Is your source a Youtube video or are you using a proper lossless hires track?

If it’s a YouTube - can I send you a list with my hires FLACS, so you might choose one of those for your videos? I have about 6500 Hires songs in my library, so there should be at least one that you like (and is suitable for a testing).
For testing headphones I would NEVER use a YouTube video…

yes. I converted my audio files using Fissions WAV files but I have no way of uploading the file to this forum so I had to use Youtube as medium.

What’s the best way to share that file on this forum.

I always use my cloud … but you might need a streaming service that preserves the audio quality and does not compress it to death.

@howard?

I always use soundcloud but if I wanted to share something lossless I would probably use Google Drive or just email it.

I’m looking at the construction of that headphone … it’s not something for outside, right?

It looks like dust and dirt will very likely affect the membrane?

It kinda depends on how windy and dusty

Not very windy, but there are quite a lot of pollen from the trees around and fine dust from the d@mn diesel cars & trucks.

At home we need to use the vacuum cleaner every 3rd day, cause of the traffic…
