      Hi everyone, today i want to buy a solid pair of headphones, i hesitate between Focal Bathys or those one (dan clark’s aeon 2). But with aeon 2 you need a dac (amp). Am i good enough with a dragonfly cobalt to drive the aeon 2? In fact, i don’t want a big amp to drive the headphones, i want a portable dac that can drive the aeon 2 if possible.
      Most importantly, i want the best sound possible. If anyone can help me :)

    For anyone who isn’t familiar with the brand, Dan Clark was originally a headphone modder who made a great reputation for bringing out some amazing performance out of affordable Fostex headphones. He eventually developed his own headphones and they are an experience in themselves. He’s a great guy, friendly, passionate about audio, and his headphones are ones you enjoy for a lifetime.

    They are easily one of the most comfortable headphones on the market. Unfortunately they're not as resolving as they should be for the price, kind of condensed sound stage, quite a bit of melding in the mid-bass and overall congested staging, can have an "artificial" almost metallic timbre especially with tracks with a lot of increased high end & mid treble exposing it, severely lacking dynamics, and anemic bass for closed back. The cable is not great either.

    @veritas932 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    if you read forum reviews on the internet, the biggest problem with these are that they are not considered dynamic headphones compared to Focals Clear and lower end Focals. Also there is a treble peak that some people finds it very uncomfortable. The white filter can alleviate that but at the cost of degraded resolution. So it's not the headphone nirvana that it's made out to be, even at that price bracket. Another issue is the assymetrical ear pads ie. one side is thicker than the other side. When clamped together for a long period of time, the thicker side will decompress more than the thinner side, leading to a deformed earpad over a period of time in just a few months.

    How would these compare to a pair of ATH-M50x headphones? I've been using my same first pair since 2015 and they're still going strong, albeit I did the zip tie mod to reinforce the weakening hinges, but they still sound like the day I bought them. I'd rather spend $150 or so than $900 like people are saying these are. Is the price difference really worth it?

      @@ThisIsTechToday Fair, they're certainly not bad despite my choice of phrasing, and I absolutely adore the physical design and build of DCA headphones, but I would strongly recommend trying a Focal Clear Mg (Open) or Focal Celestee/Radiance (Closed) to experience the difference.
      There are other companies with a similar character to the sound as Focal (Some of ZMF's products, some Fostex driver headphones, etc), Focal is just the most widely accessible and, at least imo, best.

      With any hobby, there’s always an iceberg. With headphones, mainstream is used to like $30-$50 plastic things at Best Buy, and splashing on a pair of Beats or a bit more on AirPods is as much about looking good as sounding good. But there’s a whole other world… $240 headphones that reveal things you never heard before in your favorite songs, and a purple-dragon-chase for “realism” that makes you feel like you’re at a private concert for prices in the thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars. Some of them look funny too… look up Stax, Abyss, RAAL… but also Fostex TH-900 and ZMF. It may seem expensive, but in the end it’s art… YOLO!

I should clarify that I've been very pessimistic on over ear headphones because of their physical limitations reproducing sound, so I've moved on to IEMs which are less bad at this. I still use the HD 598 while using my PC and playing VR, because sometimes comfort is more important than sound quality.

    Fun fact, each person prefers a different sound profile, and each headphones can differ in tone, soundstage and technical performance, sure, the aeon is nice indeed, but don't justify that this video is enough to make you wanna buy it, I'd recommend trying it first and try other headphones too to find what headphones actually suits you. This is the reason why audiophiles exists.

      Totally agree, our ears are physically more unique than finger prints and that affects how we hear. I also wish he had spent less time talking about stuff we would know just by looking, and more than just a tear and “Oh, so good!” for a description 😂

      Depends on the cable you have attached to the headphones. You can find one that uses a 1/4" plug and use a DAC. Any normal one should work. The one I have is a 4 Pin XLR, which I would advise against as it is less flexible for usage.
