So sorry, wrong link! Haha!
That make two of us, although some of the wireless headphones as step the game up with sound quality. I still go for wired headphones.
Thank you for creating this category. Actually i was looking for guidelines to buy new headphones for me.
So which headphones you will suggest me to buy?
Actually, i am looking to buy wireless headphones this time.

Welcome to the forum @Jesica. I’m a wired headphone guy, so I’ll let the more bluetooth knowledgeable members weigh in. I have a pair of Bose Soundlinks and a set of Sennheiser PXC-550 v2 headphones. Both work well for me, but I’m not gaming with them; mostly TV and youtube video usage. You might also want to comment on how you are going to power the bluetooth headphones? Are you open to IEMs? And your approximate $$ budget…

Hello!
I’m a happy owner of a Focal Clear headphone, and usually use it to listen to digital content. But recently I wanted to start to use the Clear to appreciate my vinyl collection. When using loudspeakers, I always use the “Low cut” / subsonic filter on my integrated amplifier while playing records. I know you know the reason, but just for context, taking from the internet:
“you may notice your woofers being pushed back & forth, even though you are listening at a moderate level. This is due to the subsonic energy that the cartridge is retrieving but is below our listening capability, though the amplifier & loudspeakers will try to reproduce this. Not to mention that there are not acoustic instruments that can play so low. The Low Cut Filter will cut off the low frequency energy that you are not able to hear and spare your amplifier of the heavy, unnecessary load.”
So, because of all that, I always use this “Low cut” / subsonic filter on the amplifier, to prevent this unnecessary load of the speakers (or even a damage).
But, neither my headphone amplifier nor my phono stage have this feature.
So, my question is: not using the “Low cut” / subsonic filter can cause a damage to the headphone?
Thanks in advance!
I don’t know about the possible harmful effects but if you are using eq you can get the same result by filtering everything below 20 or 30hz.

New users can’t create threads until they’ve been an active member for a while.
The culture of this site is not to create new threads for everything (it’s not Reddit etc.). The various “General” threads are where you want to start. And while they’re long, any signed-in user automatically sees them from the last post they read, not the top.

Hi, this is Rod, Gadget Goober on Reddit. Saying hi for the first time here.
I have over 700 cans collected over 25 years. My white whale is the sexy silver pioneer se-15.
Does anyone have one for sale?
I’m in USA and can pay immediately. By the way, a small sample of my collection… I am retiring soon in order to review each and every can, archive and create a database, image gallery and just for posterity! Hi everyone!
I know this should be in buy and sell but I tried everything and I’m blocked, do I have to be a more active person first? I wanna be a long time member, now that I’m retiring and can contribute more.
I mod a LOT. I love building cars and I work as an engineer. Good to meet everyone!
Hello @HeadphoneHistorian yes, you need to do what you’re doing and be active for a few days, then you’ll be able to make new posts instead of just reply. Welcome. Reviewing 700 cans should take up a significant part of your retirement. I suggest you buy at least 3 DACS and 3 AMPS then you can do a few more reviews. P(706,3), or 351,876,320.
Are you retiring early?
