Need help buying headphones(music/movies) better than QC 35 II

Of course, if you have any questions just ask and either I or someone else will most likely be able to help

@M0N i forgot to ask if my mobile device along with fiio q1 mk2 be able to drive dt770 pro 250ohm

Yup no problem. Are you using an iphone or android?

@M0N android. oneplus 6

You will most likely need to get an otg cable like this to hook it up to your phone

@M0N OP 6 has the standard headphone jack though

You would want to bypass the dac and amp in the op and use the dac in the fiio if you could, it allows you to take advantage of the better dac inside the fiio. Same with pc, it will come with a usb cable and you can plug it into your pc and use the dac and amp inside the q1 mk2

You can use the amp only inside the q1 mk2 but I would only do that if you have to

@M0N i think q1 mk2 provides a 3.5mm jack connector. i wouldn’t have to buy the usb-c adaptor then i suppose?

It does, but then you aren’t using the dac inside of the q1 mk2, it needs to operate through usb to take advantage of the internal dac, but you can use it through the 3.5mm in if you would like

@M0N
headset (3.5)-> (3.5) dac (3.5)-> (3.5)mobile
wouldn’t the 3.5mm to 3.5 mm wire use the dac inside of q1mk2?

No, the 3.5mm outputs an analog signal, that has already gone through the dac and amp of the phone, so the dac can not use that signal and it would only use the amp of the fiio, a dac needs a digital data stream, and in this case your phone would be providing it with an analog signal so the dac would not be able to use this. Using over usb allows the phone to route the sound data stream into the dac of the q1mk2 and then to the amp of the q1mk2

So to use the dac inside of the fiio you need phone > type c to type b usb otg cable > q1mk2 > headphones

So only use the amp of the fiio and the dac inside of your phone, phone >3.5 to 3.5 > fiio > headphones

@M0N ohh i see … would any usb c to b do or will i have to buy specifically them?

I would say the fiio cable would guarantee the most compatibility as they can be finicky at times, but you mainly want a type c to usb micro b cable, and make sure it is an OTG cable (On The Go)

@M0N sure. thanks :+1:

You need the fiio cable otherwise the q1 mk2 will drain your battery
