Headphone output of my AVR is 200 mV/47 kĪ©. I donāt know what it means in mW?
But thatās enough for meā¦ otherwise Iāll go deaf fast, lol.
Feeding the fostex more power doesnāt only give more volume 
Well, giving these less power gave me more discernible detail so I donāt know what to think about 1 watt yeet cannons. 
One day, one day.
So you do like more treble lol. Under powering them makes them a bit more lean and compressed imo
Definitely not haha (except for speakers, maybe! I have Fluance SX6s).
Anyway, yeah, Iām already searching for solutions.
Also, what does ācompressedā means? Lacking dynamics?
The dynamics are kind of squished (in this way I am using it). It reduces the dynamic range, and makes quieter sounds easier to hear and louder sounds quieter, and reduces the gaps between the quieter and louder sounds. This can make it easier to hear detail, but less natural sounding with a strange sound imo. There are more naturally compressed sounding headphones like the mrspeakers aeon and ether, but some like that sound and some donāt

Nice, thanks. āCompressedā for me only made me think about compressed mp3s. Different compression, heh.
Today I learned: Most people agree, Schiit stuff sounds constipated.
sorry.
Was that part of their business plan??? Thats a really good way to put it lol
Hahaha 
Sorry Schiit users lol. The joke was just too easy.
Maybe I can explain better than others. Compression is taking the loud stuff and making is less volume. That allows for more volume so you push the quieter stuff closer to the highest volume relative to the squashed louder stuff. Definitely watch a youtube video about it, its probably too vague without images.
Edit:
My audio engineering degree, gotta flex you know!

It also depends on what you are talking about regarding compression, as compression is different in the sense of what you are talking about, like dynamic range compression, audio file compression, gain compression, power compression, etc
also have some audio engineering training too lol

I got my t50rp mk3 in mid June and they sound terrible, and what I heard from metal571 and others, I might sell them. I canāt stand the distortion, I donāt listen to them at all with Shure 840 or alcantara pads. Iām thinking of selling them, and not taking them to modhouse to be converted to argons.
What are you powering them with, just curious
Iām powering them with the Jds atom amp.
Ah, well yeah if you donāt like them I guess you might be better off selling them. If you donāt really enjoy them at all now, I doubt you would like the argons a ton

That seems the case, crazy bass and soundstage wonāt fix that, nothing will to me.
I havenāt heard any distortion with mine. But I know rattling can be a problem with these. I hear a tiny bit of rattling from the right earcup, and thatās with the sound too loud for me. I guess youāre not lucky.
Mine are here to stayā¦
Hey any reccomendations for a better t50 cable. Preferably one that locks into the headphone.
Well it is a possibilityā¦
