I think we need more videos like this at different budgets and also different setups which are portable and desktop setups as well. Headphonezone fantastic. Videos like this give a fair idea to amateur audiophiles like me on how to have great audiophile setups.
I need a headphone with dolby support . I used to hear only carnatic music albums/concerts. What is ur suggestion and where can get it. I am in chennai
Thats very informative brother, I do need some clarity whether all these setups support Hi Res ALAC 192 Khz format of apple music ( when played from Iphone or IPad Air ) ?
Great video Although i have a question What DAC & IEM would reproduce something similar to B & O tuned sound signature. I have a HP pavilion laptop which has B&O tuned dac through the 3.5mm jack. I compared the same with KZ ZSN PRO X with abigail pro dac. Abigail sounds so flat it doesnt make the music feel musical. But the B&O tuned jack on laptop gives out pristine sound. Any setup which comes close to B&O tuned warm and lively sound?
Need help from audiophiles! Brought two IEMs from Headphonezone. They were amazing. And in expertise too they are the best. Now I am planning to buy a decent Bluetooth headphones. I travel a lot and I like to grace my ears while doing so. I have narrowed it down to Sennheiser HD 350BT and Edifier W820NB Plus. And sadly neither of them are on Headphonezone. One I need suggestions about these two. My only asks are best sound detailing and imaging in that price. And next is comfort, say continuously listening for 1.5h - 2h (outside and inside the house). I don't care about other features. I listen to Classical to Metal; from Folk to Sufi; I completely hate english Pop, and I definitely am not a basshead. I want to start listening to some clarity and feel the soundstage (perhaps I'm asking for a lot in this price but I've only used INR2000 IEMs so far, haha) from some decent headphone, then making the journey up with time. My second question is where could I purchase them? Please help! Please help! Open to every suggestions. Right now I only have the budget of INR7000. (Also, I couldn't find any reviews on Edifier headphones from any Indian youtuber, why is that?)
The honest truth is that we don't like either of those two bluetooth headphone options. The price/performance that you're getting from IEMs in this price segment is going to be far better than what any of the bluetooth headphoens can give you in this segment. My suggestion is to go with a wired IEM and add a bluetooth DAC, like the Astell&Kerb XB10 or the FiiO BTR15 for the wireless convenience that you seek.
@@headphone_zone Thank you for suggesting. I have Tangzu Wan'er with me. As Mentioned, it has to be wireless, as they will give me company in my travels. Now I'm considering the Sony 720n, what do you say, please help. My library is Spotify by the way, I'm well aware of their quality 😂. I am looking for the best clarity and separation possible from my budget. And a upgrade from my Wan'er's quality. This is it. Please reply as your earliest. I'm thinking to make the purchase by today.
Great video. Can you recommend any good over ear headphones under 5000rs wired or wireless. I was thinking about buying the akg k92 headphone and other options were wireless headphone the jbl tune 710bt and the tune 760 nc because it under 5000rs. Should i go for wired or wireless and can you provide any better options. Thank you
I bought ifi go link. But I am getting only upto 48khz, and sometimes 96khz at 24bit. Is it perfectly fine. Isn't there any hi res audio on Apple music which supports higher sampling rates at 192khz.
Obviously the arias also i will recommend you to get a better dac like iBasso Dc03 pro or something similar because although being a moderate impediment iem it really benefits greatly with a bit higher power draw and good tuned source.

I own a TRIPOWIN TC01 could you suggest a DAC for it.... really like the wireless option on FiiO - BTR5 2021 and iBasso - DC03 PRO..... could my earphones handle these or is there a better option.
Hey there, both the FiiO BTR5 2021 and iBasso DC03 PRO are great options to pair with your TRIPOWIN TC01. They'll likely work well with your earphones and enhance your audio experience. Both brands are reputable, so you can choose based on your preferred features. Happy listening! 🎧🎶
Please increase the budget upto 20k,now what would you suggest.wating for your suggestions.can you provide some audio samples to decide what kind of audio we would get at different price points.
Hey, due to the youtube algorithm, we feel that audio samples won't do justice, so we'd recommend you to drop by our experience studio if you're in Mumbai

It's a genre in itself lol, the closest would've been the Etymotic ER2XR or Moondrop Blessing 2 but one is extinct and the other is way above the budget. I'd say look in the 2nd hand mkt. (I'm in no means an expert I've just happened to own these)
Hey there, that's quite an impressive collection you've got there! Your setup sounds really diverse and well thought out. Unfortunately, some of your previous audio setups have experienced damage, but it's good to see that you've adapted and evolved it over time. Keep enjoying your music and experimenting with your audio gear!

Hey Raghav, thanks for this informative video. I have purchased ZS10 Pro three months ago from Headphone Zone and they just incredible. I want to upgrade for lossless hi-res music and I use Iphone 14. Can you please suggest what DAC should I buy for ultimate listening experience. Please suggest the DAC which I can use in future for my over the head phones later on. Hope yo hear from you soon. Thanks ☺
no love for fiio jd7 or simgot ea500 for Rs. 7900 + apple dongle for Rs. 1000 + spinfit cp145 for Rs. 800 ? - don't forget tips they affect sound almost as much as dac difference in the same price category for iems
You confuse us. Everything is good nothing is bad. Just give us option which is better or best. Just one or max 2. You want to sell every thing in store thats it. Reduce the options to eliminate the confusion what to choose
Hey there, We understand the confusion; everyone's preferences vary when it comes to sound. Our aim is to provide a wide range to cater to diverse tastes. While we strive to guide you, "best" can be subjective as sound preferences differ and every IEM is tuned differently. We'll work on simplifying options to ease the decision-making process. Thank you for your input!
@@headphone_zone THANKS ALOT, just some recommendations for that video, so here budget is not an issue i just want to upgrade to the bests and the systems you suggest could be based on signatures and versitality.
