Bad Guy Good Audio Rankings and stuff (under construction) (Part 1)

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.

Any recommendations on cables? Yeah I was going to buy them this week but went to leave work and my dang car wouldn’t start today so there goes 150 bucks for a battery🤣 I love life sometimes lol also any recommendations on an adaptor for my usb c on my android.

Hah! Yea at least it’s only for making the video reviews.

I don’t live there anymore, for a few years now. Man, I couldn’t live with them anymore. Have to have my own place for a family.

Did you purchased them or Fiio just sent you a unit for reviewing?

Troll post: yeah of course. Have you seen the penon totem? The copper will tighten your bass and the silver coating will improve the soundstage, treble and ā€œtechnicalitiesā€. 800usd but its the bargain of the year. Coated in kangurus piss and soaked in kate beckinsale’s sweat to improve the upper harmonics while extending the frequency range to below zero!!

Real post: Well, 95% are from Xinhs store on aliexpress. Gets a big rec since you can customize them. Really depends on your tastes and wallet, but dont spend much on a cable. Look for quality > comfort > looks. I can help you out via PM to not spamm this thread. Theres also an iem cable thread in this forum! Drop by :slight_smile:

For the adaptor to my android, I use the one @Ohmboy just linked, but the silver one (think its then previous version). If you wanna keep a few bucks, just get apple usb c dongle for 8usd. Its more than enough.

M3X is a beast. Dont let the price fool you. I throw 512gbs cards and he hands it like it should. Zero problems so far. Very good bang for your buck.
