Okay, I will heavily consider it then. Maybe if I check around I can find an audio store that still has listening demos open near me with a pair.

Or just stop by when you’re in New York. :slight_smile:

I am EQ’ing the HE6se, but they don’t sound like ass without EQ.

The only headphones I EQ are the DT990 pros and only when I am in the mood to play FPS games online.

My man loves his bass shelf :+1:

I have been spoiled by phones finally having decent speed internal storage. Loading songs on to a 120GB SD card for the M3X I just got is painful.

Good news importing 18,000 songs didn’t crash the M3X “player mode” when updating the library… hopefully the playlist features of this DAP are good as well.

lol nice to see you doing some EQ! But to me, bass fun starts at +10dB :crazy_face:

I hate EQ, but with over ears, it’s almost necessary.

+10db? I thought you’d be at least +15db. Amature. :wink:

LOL, honestly i think i have +10dB on the Fostex and +15dB on the LCD-X.

I know its a lot and its not natural sounding at all, but that is the way i like it! I just turn it off completelly when i listen to acoustic recordings.


Where does your bass shelf begin? Screenshots please.

This is my wife telling me my open back headphones are too loud when I listen to it in our living room (while she wants to watch something on the TV).

Ha ha This happened to me with my girlfriend. This is why I have a home with 5 bedrooms. I have my own space where I can crank speakers, guitar, headphones, IEMs whatever.

She has complained a few times about the noise but not nearly as much as our last residence where I was around her more.

It looks like you’re up in an attic or something in your reviews?

So much of this depends on the software being used. Hiby player on my Hiby R5 hard freezes for like half an hour if I try to load 8,000 songs on it. PowerAmp or USB Audio Player PRO loads everyhing with no sweat at all and fast as hell at that.

Thankfully I can sideload any android app on the R5 and I’m not bound to the shitty stock player.

I actually like the stock player, but currently I am trying to solve an issue with the Android audio stack since it seems to be causing the internal dac to flip out every time I try to run an Audiobook player. The files themselves play fine in a bunch of music player apps… just not audiobook ones.

I’m in a third floor with a bedroom. My parents house actually, since my apartment doesn’t have a den or office.

Trying to get a new home though soon with an office space. Whether condo or house.
