Full, round, thick, buttery vocals?

I'm not sure if any of the adjectives I used are actually real in the audio world, but I'm essentially looking for a pair of headphones that produce vocals that sound very smooth and full. I have the HD 600's right now and while they're amazing, I feel as if I'd prefer if the vocals were a little more smooth sounding.

Can anyone recommend a pair under 500 that would fit this description?

Thanks!

Which does vocals better, HD600 or HD6XX/HD650?

I know they're practically the same, but there are real differences according to most people. With that being said, which of these headphones does vocals better in terms of tonality? Also, I've heard that the 6XX/650 are slightly more "veiled", does this mean that the vocals are even further back than the 600's?

Thank you!

Pretty much the title. I like the stock tuning of the XS a lot but I would just like a toouch more mid-bass specifically. Can someone tell me how to add this via EQ? Not looking to use a preset because I really like how it sounds otherwise.

Thank you!

Alright, you guys were right, y'all win, the Edition XS really is that good. The soundstage and imaging are just so much better than anything I've used in the past, even the FT1 Pros which are often compared to the Edition XS. However, I've noticed that the directional audio is not the greatest in TAC/FPS games. I wanted this pair to be a gaming/HD 600 complement and unfortunately while they're a great complement for music, they don't suffice for gaming.

With that being said, can anyone comment on the Kithara? I'm assuming they're better for gaming, but how do they compare for music? Do they also have a wide soundstage with excellent imaging? How about instrument separation? If anyone could comment on it, I'd make a decision regarding whether or not I should return the Edition XS' and get the Kithara instead.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I've been meaning to purchase a headphone stand to free up space on my desk (and also for aesthetic reasons) but I'm worried about them compressing the head band pads in the case of the regular hook style stands, but also of reduced clamp force in the case of the Omega/wider stands.

Is there anything that won't, or at the very least minimize the damage done to my headphones? They're the HD 600s and FiiO FT1 Pros.

Thank you!

Everyone talks about how R2R DAC's impart a warmer, more natural and organic sound to audio, and I know many have attested to this in more premium high-end DACs, but what about something at a lower price point like the K11 R2R? Can I still perceive this "fuller, more natural" sound as people often describe? If anyone who's had both a K11 R2R and a delta sigma DAC to compare between, I'd appreciate if you could tell me what you've noticed in terms of sound differences.

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I used to use Focusrite ASIO drivers for my piano VST to reduce the delay, but I was thinking of selling my audio interface in favour of a FiiO DAC/AMP to better drive my headphones. However, I just wanted to know if the FiiO ASIO drivers are good enough as a substitute (specifically in terms of input delay).

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

Novice homecook here who is tired of having to pay money and wait a few days to get my knives sharpened, so I was looking into learning how to do it myself. I just had two quick questions before I get started.

Is the Shapton K0702 Blade, 1000 the same as the Shapton 1000 Pro? Link: https://a.co/d/08G2sTgl

Can someone suggest a solid, budget honing rod/steel? My knife is a victorinox fibrox.

Thank you!!
