  • And to add to your very good reply, most people also do not like the studio monitors sound. Younger listeners are more likely to choose bassy booming gear, while older farts like me would rather have it brighter (more higher frequencies delivered) as our ears tend to degrade with age in that part of spectrum. To make the right choice, nothing can beat going somewhere and listening different gear with your own ears and preferred music, unfortunately.

    Oh, almost forgot. OP!!! THIS IS A RABBIT HOLE! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE BEFORE IT SUCKED YOU IN FOREVA!!!


  • Hard agree on subjective nature of the quality. Even for loudspeakers it is really up to your own preferences, and when it comes to IEMs/headphones - there are no 2 experts that will agree on what is “the best”.

    ANC does degrade the quality, but in the noisier environments like planes and trains it is probably a good option for less-hassle listening.

    Momentum 2 were famously terrible (had these and enjoyed a lot - until i tried something else). Hope 4th model is better.

    The only real advice to OP here would be to find an offline store and go listen to some of the models they have. Bring your own music! That is how I realised that neutrality of HD600 is my benchmark. However these are open-backs, wired and twice the price (

    You can also try to understand what kind of sound delivery you prefer: bassy, neutral, bright - that would narrow down the options for you.

    Crinacle tested a lot (though he stopped updating his database unfortunately) - this may give you some ideas. https://crinacle.com/rankings/headphones/

    Good luck!

    Putin was and is not crazy, do not make this mistake. Vile, murderous, clinging to power, corrupt, immoral - all yes. Bit he is very rational in his own way. So is Kim, I think, but I do lack info here.

    Trump, on the other hand, does look properly crazy now. And that is my last hope for this world, that he finally shows it in a clinical way and americans wake up before this is all over for us.














  • VKB stick is what kept me playing for much longer since i lost interest. Pure joy of fine controls (and my progression is from ps4 controller to whatever hotas is available for it, then switched to PC and used X56, until finally got the VKB). Wish I had it back in the days when i really enjoyed the grind and mining was the thing.

    For the OP - a pity you missed the targ war - that was a great opportunity for open play cooperation, to hone your piloting skills and a lot of pretty sights in maelstroms. It was also the closest thing we had for a campaign.

    I wonder if Frontier has what it takes to do something of the same scale again. The game is still too niche to justify investment, and that is unfortunate.
