    Very nice Review that answered most of my questions. I am currently using Cloud 2s for everything and looking for replacements. This Headphone is available in my country for 150€ and the Mic solution you present here almost sold me but this Video is 2 years old now. In your opinion, do you think this is still a good option in that price range for Allround Headphones or is this too much for a non-Audiophile looking for Allround Headphones? I also never had Open-Back Headphones but I am using Velour Pads on my Closed-Backs since I don´t like too much isolation, it just muffles environment sounds by aprox. half. Oh, and do I need the DAC/AMP thingy to make them sound good or is it fine over Onboard Sound?

      @hackinghifi4247 16 днів тому

      Thanks for watching. I still use this all the time and it works great it’s my go to headphone. If you’re going to use it for music listening you’ll get better results with an amp but for gaming it works just fine plugged into a controller. I prefer it using the mixamp with my Xbox though.

      In the exact same situation and have the same questions. I've bought the HD560s and the ABLET boom mic, just really not sure if I need a DAC/AMP combo. I've tried doing research on the reddit forums but some people seem to be so snobby. 50% say "lol don't need anything it can run 99% quality off a AAA battery" and then others say to get a >$150 DAC/AMP such as one of the FIIO ones. So I'm not sure wtf so do

The Qudelix 5k adds enough juice to power it just fine, and give you the ability to use the device wirelessly if you want to do Bluetooth. You can also buy a OTG cable to plug your iPhone directly into the dac amp if you want to get the highest quality audio. Oh and if you’re on iPhone you’ll get the added benefit of a usable eq.

    Regarding technical performance, specifically imaging, soundstage, and separation, I'm not sure which of the three Chu 2, Salnotes Zero, and KZ ZVX is better. I've read in a review that the kz kvx has greater separation and stage than Salnotes zero, but I find that to be highly dubious. If there is a technical performance difference between the Salnotes Zero and Chu 2, is it slight or noticeable?

    • @hackinghifi4247
      @hackinghifi4247 Місяць тому

      Well you could probably just plug this straight into pc. For pc there are other options as well if you haven’t bought this yet that have more power. Depending on the ohm rating of your headphones you may not need anything else. This would probably work for 32 or 80 ohm versions. If you want to use it as a dac you would plug this into your pc then plug this into your amp. But for pc you don’t really need to do all that, you could just buy a cheap dac like an apple usb c to 3.5mm adapter and plug that into the amp. Or easier yet just use your headphone out and plug it into your amp, depending on how good the headphone out is on your computer. You may just be able to plug your headphones into your pc as well depending on the ohm rating of the headphones.

    Is it ok to power dt770 and hd58x using apple dongle?

    • @hackinghifi4247
      @hackinghifi4247 Місяць тому

      Yeah it’s ok, you just won’t get as much dynamic range as with more powerful amps. Sound won’t be as punchy in the bass and treble with sound a little more flat and harsh.

    Does swapping the cable for the one with the microphone change in any way the way the headphones sound?

    • @hackinghifi4247
      @hackinghifi4247 2 місяці тому

      I haven’t noticed any difference still sounds great. Honestly the cable that comes with it sucks.

      You can start with an apple dongle, they sound great if you don’t need wireless and eq. For eq it’s a great option especially for iPhone where you can’t get it in app.

      I don’t believe so. For a guitar you’d want to use something like a Focusrite Scarlett

    • @hackinghifi4247
      @hackinghifi4247 2 місяці тому

      With the Astro amp you can just use a trrs splitter to do it. You plug mic into one side and headphones in the other. That being said I think the best bet for good audio is a headset style with the mic close to your mouth.

      Last question. What kind of a sound mixer would you recommend going with the headphones? I ordered the Headphones and got the on the same day on amazon and love these things. Soundstaging is amazing and insanely comfortable. Very pin point accurate for gaming and orgasmic for listening to music.

    • @hackinghifi4247
      @hackinghifi4247 3 місяці тому

      Use the one I directly linked to the Bose one

    • @hackinghifi4247
      @hackinghifi4247 3 місяці тому

      I use the Astro mix amp but that’s because it’s the only option for Xbox. Depends on what you’re plugging it into and are going to use it for. Schiit and sennheiser both have gaming specific options that would be good for pc.

    Hello brother, i am more into clean instrumentals and vocal clarity in songs. I want to be able to hear the vocals crisp and even the instruments with clarity. Not much of a basshead though. I want to even enjoy music like the avengers portal soundtrack with the trumpets clear and all. I'm confused between CCA CRA and 7hz zero. This would be my 1st IEM. Could you help me with ur inputs in choosing between the two? Thanks...

    • @hackinghifi4247
      @hackinghifi4247 3 місяці тому

      I’d do the zero. It’s more balanced but less exciting. The cra is very bass and treble heavy which can be fun but leads to fatigue.

    I come to share a thought with you, do you think adapting a shotgum mic on top of the monitor and connecting it to a dac/amp would it be good for games? In this case, I will be about 80cm away.

    • @hackinghifi4247
      @hackinghifi4247 3 місяці тому

      That’s interesting, I think I’ve tried something like that. I found it easier to just use a lav mic with a y adapter if I wanted to do something separate though.

    Thanks for a great review.. when plugged into a phone via usb for maximum quality will it still run off its own in built battery or will it drain the phone's battery using the phone's power instead and charge itself off the phone? (I hope it doesn't drain my phone's battery and still uses it's own battery independently).. thanks

    • @hackinghifi4247
      @hackinghifi4247 4 місяці тому

      You can set it either way I’m pretty sure. I believe there’s an option to turn off charging.

    Hey nice review man, kind of a dumb question but, can i plug in a normal 3.5 jack (no screw lock) or does it have to have the screw lock in order to fit?

    • @hackinghifi4247
      @hackinghifi4247 4 місяці тому

      The weird screw in part is on the headphone side, whatever your source is will be a standard 3.5mm jack.

    Got the Douk U3 for a bargain price from Temu. As soon as it arrived I rigged it up and plugged in my Sennhieser 560s. For anyone buying this little budget amp don't let the initial sound quality put you off it. While it is decent out of the box it still can be better with changing the op amp. Initially with the NE5532D op amp the cymbols were very splashy which is what people mean when they say it has 'glare'. I rolled a couple of op amps which completely killed that 'glare'. The Muses 8920d, 8820, Oracle 11, opa1622 and the BB2604. My personal favourite is the BB2604 (CERAMIC VERSION) it has a deep wide soundstage with a very full and well controlled sound signature with clear vocals, nice tight high end and full bass, the BB2604 always packs a punch in everything i put it into. Next was the opa1622 (the most technical and flat sounding) which has a very balanced sound with tight drums, and a very clean overall sound and dark background. The Muses 8920 was a little mashed in regards to over instrument separation and not as clean as the others including the 8820 which is far cleaner and with a good soundstage. So, the U3 is a very decent small headphone amp. There is a tiny bit of background noise when idle but not enough to complain about and for the price the U3 is a bargain! It is a big step up from my Creative Audigy FX2 soundcard and puts some real power into my 560s and with the BB2604 op amp, the U3 is definitely staying put for a while. UPDATE: Put the Burr Brown opa2134 into the U3 today and it sounds even better!

    hey! not sure if you have any idea on how to fix this but since i formatted my PC the peace and equalizer apo seem to not work. i wasnt sure what was the issue, then i noticed that the peak volume meter doesnt show any volume at all, even on max volume and being loud in my headphones. i tried reinstalling the apo, updating or using other versions, installing as SFX/EFX, i have no idea what to do or even research since i couldnt find any solution. any help would be appreciated!

    • @hackinghifi4247
      @hackinghifi4247 4 місяці тому

      Make sure it is using the right source or reinstall the device you’re using as a source is what I would try. I talk about that in the video at some point I’m pretty sure if you want to research it.
