I know inflation is a bitch and money is tight for a lot of folks right now. So I wanted to do something a little different and make a roundup style video of my favorite affordable/cheap audiophile gadgets. we got headphones, IEMs, DACs, Amps, and even some cool software! Check the video out you know uncle honse would never do you wrong :D.

The Sennhieser HD650's, sibling to the Drop HD65XX, has been a first stop for many people curious about the audiophile sound.
The BTR15 (the newer revision of the BTR5) is great too! The software is a bit janky but it does the job. Fiio is also making a BTR13 as well, the successor to the BTR3, for those who don't need as much power! Also for Android users, Wavelet/Poweramp EQ is nice for system wide EQ.
I use a pair of Truthear Hexa's for stage production cues / tracks as well as workout buds. They are very very good when you get them sealed properly in your ear. For headphones at home I recently upgraded and picked up a pair of ATH-R70x's. These certainly aren't super budget but I'd consider them a little better that the HD600 series lineup for music because of the less rolled off bass which gives them more versatility, and waaay better in gaming for the soundstage. They're also incredibly lightweight for long listening sessions. I agree though that on a tight budget HD 6xx's are great value.
I don't believe the amp you use matters much, as long as you're getting the right power delivery to drive your devices then you're fine. If you're buying an amp to specifically color the sound a certain way it's better to use EQ. An amplifier is supposed to be flat, and virtually every amp these days delivers power clean enough that no human could possibly perceive a difference no matter what they try to tell you. A tube amp on the other hand is cool if you're specifically looking for that "old-school" flavor of sound, but I'd rather have tubes be used in a mixing / mastering process rather than applied over everything you're listening to.
Navigating the audiophile hobby is very difficult these days. There's a lot of snake-oil and an even greater amount of placebo that people swear by as fact ("I swear you gotta use this $6000 amp for your headphones bro or they won't sound good"). My advice is that consistency is key. If you like or dislike a pair of headphones / IEM's see how they measure and compare that measurement with others that were measured on the same equipment to get a feel for the tuning you like. Staging and imaging is something you'll need to hear yourself or find a reviewer you trust on how something performs in those areas.
I use the apple earpod daily.
That’s a shame.
Poor soul!
I feel sorry for you 🤷♂️
Nice, I've got HEAVYS about 2 weeks ago, and they are amazing. Nice noise isolation 4 drivers in each ear, plus twitters. they are also not leaking sound as ATH-AD900X, and they are big : ) but I'm happy, they are not cheap, I do have a discount code if anyone is interested. But man I love them, I was a bit sceptical but they are really nice when it comes to the over-ear big headstones. :) Would be nice to hear your opinion if you have access to them. I do love how they sound while listening to Metal music, but Opera, EDM, DNB, it all sounds really amazing.
Damn it, just realized that you have made a review on them. That newbie mistake : ) gonna watch it now. deff subscribing. keep the content going, love your attitude and technical knowledge.
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU YOUR PROPS! I AM A FIRST-TIME WATCHER OF YOUR VIDEOS AND YOUR CHANNEL! YO YOU HAVE A GIMMICK HERE MAN YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT RUNNING MAN BECAUSE I WATCH THIS VIDEO FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS NOW WITH AS MUCH INFORMATION AS YOU PACK! IF YOU DO THIS RIGHT YOU CAN MONETIZE AND BE A MULTIPLIER ON TH-cam MAN I'M ROOTING FOR YOU! THIS WAS VERY VERY IMPRESSIVE LOL ❤❤❤ 23:06
You are goddamn right, + never buys "gaming headphone", except for Audeze Maxwell
moondrop may dsp vs truthear hexa? also what would you recommend for something in the range of the 6xx but with better bass for music like hip hop?
your avatar has NO lip sync
cool video regardless
Yea I don't really have equipment that would make Vbridger viable atm so we stuck with the jank mouth for the time being.
Thank you for the video, i think nobody has yet described how the Sony MDR7506 sound as well as you do.
Aune AR5000 are fantastic and i think are better than hd600 for about the same price.
@dtz1000 tbh I've been interested in the AR5000 for a hot minute but I haven't had a chance to try them. I'll likely end up buying them for myself sooner or later.
I am upset because you didn't mention the prices in Nigerian Naira 😐
@@7ArchEnemy7 1 U.S. dollar is approximately 1,569.82 Nigirian Naira if that helps.
The headphone game is a slippery slope. Haha
Fiio ft3 and jt1 is the cure
@@audie-cashstack-uk4881 idk at the moment I'm pretty happy with the hifiman edition xs
koss ksc75x is the ultimate budget headphone imo
its just blowminding for its price
i have dt 770 pro and tbh i use the ksc75 more
Koss kph40 is amazing, same goes for ksc75 with yaxi pads and a headband.
EarPod recommendation = unbelievably based taste confirmed
they are spectacular for what they are, very overlooked imo. It's weird IEM style design is what makes it sound better than 99% of flat head earbuds out there. I sometimes use mine over the airpdos pro 2s!
I think in general it's the seal that IEMs have that give them an edge over flat head earbuds. That seal prevents outside noise from interfering with the music. Plus they ensure a consistent fit, thus a consistent audio delivery. Flat head earbuds' weakness is the frequency response can vary depending on how they fit, so a lot of people perceive them as being worse.
Hi great video great avatar , I have 6xx with custom cans bass mod and 11/4” velour pads and sound better with bass at bottom end and sounding similar to hd660s2, regards mark
I have too many, i need to stop lol.
I have and like the Hexa, but I actually like my 7hz Zero better for most situations.
OK…so how much in Antarctica tho?….
Comparison with modhouse tungsten?
6xx is based specifically on hd650, not on hd600.
I literally say in the video the 6XX is a revision of the HD650.
I liked it :>>
2:39 Ath M50x bad? I was just about to buy them.
Dont buy that, u can get much better sound in any price range. As in the video in cheaper ranges hifiman he400 etc. if u can pay for it like about 300$ then get a HD600/HD650/6xx and u done.
@D.3.N the M50X have great build quality and isolation. But their sound is not great imo. The bass tends to be very muddy and mask some of the mids, and its peaky treble response leaves some instruments sounding compressed or with a harsh metallic edge that isn't pleasant.
Fiio k11 fiio jt1 fiio ft3 4.4 balanced cable you are now set for 10 yrs maybe 20 yrs of headphone glory for under 500 and thats every thing gaming movies music
jt1 SUXXXXXXXXXXX(BOOMY garbage bass and horrible noise from the headband and earcups anytime you move your head even a tiny bit) and the k11 has clipping issues....
