Ah yes I've heard of the dragonfly. I've forgotten to see if I could
hear 1 when we've gone to bestbuy. Do you have 1? What is it hooked up to?

Hello,
If you were to push the limits and want to hear the sound as the artists
intended you wouldn’t play lossless files through a computer’s sound
system. You would use a dedicated DAC and the most popular for audiophiles
is the Audio Quest Dragon Fly. Great way to listen to high quality
lossless files.

Ah that's true too. Meh I'm a teck geek so I get into speks. But I just
was saying something similar to what you were saying because I think Gena
was saying how studio headphones are pretty clinical. So I was just
saying that though that maybe true and if true I'd love a pair of studio
cans but how clinical is the device to be used? Like I said PC wize I
like Dell audio better than HP. Dells are brighter. Meh HP is improving.
But also even with Dells my 2007 Enspiron has better left center and
right immaging in it's stereo panning. But meh it's bass is wimpy. There
is good middle frequency infact it does sound pretty natural but it does
lac that bass. Also the super Rode NT1-A like brightness is missing too.
Now to be fair I don't have it's drivers installed. So who knows I'd have
to downgrade it to Vista to truely hear once again what an Enspiron 530S
really sounds like. As for my 2014 3847 desktop meh there's gimics
Realtek uses in the drivers for that 1 I couldn't care for. But love the
brightness and bass to it. The stereo can be too rediculous wide and
unatral but meh that's those Realtek gimics me thinks. But oh wells. So
yeah I boot up the good old trusty 530S for stereo panning mostly. Though
it is mad slow. I say again I wish I had the $2900 for the MSI Trident.
That thing sounds glorious.

Hi,
I think any one, who really loves music should stick to their ears
rather than be blown out of their socks by the technical specifications.
We all listen to so very different sound sources and music genres, and
no single set of cans do provide a universal approach to this. I mean
some likes a very tight bass, where others loves very soft sounding
gentle headphones.
Others again likes a screaming high pitched sound, where some feels the
same sound makes them believe they've tinnitus. Grin
There for. If the headphone you're seeking really should suit your needs
then you'd want to give them a listen first, and decide what color of
sound you want.
They can be so darn wild on the paper specs, but it won't matter, if you
simply just don't like their sound, or should we say, if your ears don't
fit their specific sound profile.
For example I have a relatively cheap pair of Yamahas I truly love, and
I mean really love!
I think they're just about $ 120 or so, and they sound really good to
me. Then I also have a $ 500 plus pair of Bayer dynamics that well kind
of sounds good, but don't knocks me off the chair, if you know what I
mean.
So what does it help to have a pair of cans that can communicate with
bats using ultra sound, if you don't like their low-end sound?

Ah well if we go down this rode you also have to consider your computer
phone or aVR or what ever other device. Different PCs and even from the
same company depending on model give you a different flavor. I suppose
you will get with studio headphones or studio monitoring speakers a more
honest sound but how honest is the device? For stereo spread I love my
2007 slim Enspiron 530S. But it's bass is wimpy and there's none of that
real bright condencer like crispness. My 2014 3847 tower does that
better but there are sound effect gimics I don't like to it's sound. Man
it's another reason I wish I had $2500 for an MSI Trident. That PC is
pure epicness.

Hello,
OK, no problem. But realise you are not experiencing the full benefits
of lossless. Headphone manufacturers tune headphones with their own
equaliser settings. Studio headphones affect the sound less and
represent the sound as published.
I accept your desire but as for me I like to hear the sound the artists
want to present. I can add base or treble if I wished for me that is
the beauty of high res lossless. Starting with the pure unadulterated
sound. There is no law to say that studio headphones cannot be used for
casual listening. I would suggest that they are built for comfort too.
Different horses for different courses. Enjoy your new headphones and I
hope you get them for a good price.
Good luck.

Thanks for your recommendation.
The problem I want to avoid is choosing a pair of headphones meant for
audio monitoring, not casual listening.
I don't plan on doing any mixing, DJaying or instrument recordings, so
I definitely want to avoid audio/studio monitoring headphones.
Casual, relaxed listening is what I want my headphones to excel in.

Hello,
I didn’t keep the original post. But if the post sender is looking
for the best out of Lossless. Would they not better from a studio
headphone? Something that is not going to colour the audio, changing
the producer’s mix. I don’t know what version of bluetooth is
available with studio headphones. I have the Audio Technica ATH-M50X
which are amazing and highly rated. If the list member serious about
audio quality then they need to look at how headphones attempt to
pump up the base or treble. Or as I suggest look for studio quality.
Here’s the link for the bluetooth version of the Audio Technica
ATH-M50X:

Hello,
Getting my list ready for Black Friday.
I'm looking to purchase a good pair of 5.0 high-resolution
Bluetooth headphones for getting the most out of my collection of
Lossless .FLAC Jazz collection.
Don't care about price. Just want a pair of headphones that
literally place me in audio heaven when I set them on my ears, and
listen to Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, Count Basie and Grover
Washington Jr. through them.
Any recommendations?
