the Z1?

Wait is that a DAC or an amp

The title says it's everything

<:thonk:288060975775612929>

the Z1 is a DAP and a DAC/amp

can be used just off an SD card

or via USB

im gonna strap it to my phone

Oh so it is 🤔

might experiment with op-amp rolling it

Are the SHP9500 still being made?

ye

technically SHP9500S now

since they made a new version with a different cable

and maybe some other shit i dunno about

9500's arent that good tho tbh

I had the HD598SE before I got the X2s

neither are x2's imo but im a player hatin whore

How do the 9500 compare to the 598?

much more treble grain

less comfortable

images better but worse soundstage

removable cable tho which is nice

slightly colder in tonality

ive got shp9500w

9500s*

i like em

ive never tried the 598s or anything

i should walk into the headphone shop and try these things tbh

i like my x2s that i dont give a shit bout others right meow

X2s are pretty goat

And comfy when you start to use them after a while

yer

they are super comfy mayne

what are 598s like?

People say that 598s are really light and comfy and they are, but they're weird for me in that if you wear them for a few hours, you start to feel some pressure on the side of your face that's pretty uncomfortable

yeah some people have issues with 598 clamp for some reason

i never felt that way

mine literally used to fall off my head

M50s were the absolutely worst for me :😄

shp9500 are light and dont clamp too hard
