I’m not a big sound guy. I try to get headsets on sale. I usually don’t spend more than $30 for one.

I use the HyperX Alpha Wireless. 300 hrs of battery life with good comfort. The sound is bassy too which is what I prefer.

It is a studio grade headphone, I do not know how it compares to other headphones soundwise because I do not remember and I have had these for three years. But I do know they’re really comfortable.

I think these do not have much bass, they’re better for classical I think.

Do you use an AMP/DAC combo?

I do not use an AMP/DAC, I have a b850m asus tuf motherboard and that seems to power it well enough, it is only 48 Ohms

Get some in ear monitors, they are life changers.

I used single driver shures for about 6 months and they are great, but I wanted to try out some dual drivers and hybrid drivers. The more drivers the more frequencies have there own driver instead of all from one driver. I bought some 50 bucks hybrid drivers and I use them over my gaming headsets and my studio headphones. They can make your ears bleed if to loud :joy: but they do have wires​:sad_but_relieved_face:so from time to time I use my Bluetooth steel series set. If I need to hear foot steps my iems get plugged up. Few buddies of mine have bought even cheaper pairs of Amazon and love them. If you have a mix amp they are even better. I’m on vacation ATM but soon as I’m home I’ll take a pic. Side note these things come in some killer colors and designs.

Sorry for the delay my man.

Hybrid in-ear monitors (IEMs) combine different types of drivers, like dynamic drivers and balanced armature drivers, within a single earphone. This approach aims to leverage the strengths of each driver type, offering a more balanced and detailed sound signature than IEMs using only one type of driver.

Elaboration:

  • Hybrid Design:

Hybrid IEMs typically incorporate a dynamic driver for low-end (bass) frequencies and balanced armature drivers for mid and high frequencies.

  • Dynamic Drivers:

These drivers excel at producing powerful and impactful bass frequencies.

  • Balanced Armature Drivers:

Known for their clarity, detail, and ability to reproduce high frequencies accurately.

  • Benefits:

By combining these drivers, hybrid IEMs can offer a wider frequency response, better detail retrieval, and a more balanced sound overall.

  • Considerations:

FYI like studio headphones iems will benefit greatly from a headphone amp or a mixing board with internal amp.
