      What is the best sounding wired high noise isolation closed can as of 2025? I need suggestions.

        If I needed something like that again, I'd probably doctor up my old MSR7. I looked at Solderdude's list and didn't see anything I could convince myself would be better at a reasonable price. Maybe an Aeon.

        Perhaps not that helpful for you, but I resisted noise cancelling for HPs for commutes and travel for quite some time, and then found that they're leagues better for that use case. There's no amount of isolation that will block out the low roar of a train, plan, or bus, so whatever loss of fidelity comes with NC is, well, cancelled out, at least for me. Not knowing what use you have in mind, of course....

        My one sister got the Quantum 800s and they were... fine. I get why JBL voiced them the way they did but it wasn't something I particularly enjoyed the sound of. Does seem like all the JBL products are approaching a sort of singularity with respect to voicing for obvious reasons, but it's fun hearing the technical differences.

        Could just be that there's significantly more stuff going on in a laptop that's introducing noise, and also yeah given how ubiquitous DAPs were about a decade ago it just feels like folks were more aware of portable players, so migrated those to phones

        It is great device. Sounds good enough. Zero hiss. Bluetooth range great. Great app. Crappy buttons. Ifi Go Blue sounds more natural but not as good Bluetooth, has hiss and no app. Great volume control. I sold the Ifi and went back to 5K.

        I think I've only seen you even mention the speakers here a few times off hand, which is nice in a way, don't want to MOTs pushing their stuff. but god damn man, these speakers are fantastic, so now im out here pounding the drum. It is true they aren't cheap though. Maybe when I get up to the closest dealer, I can try out some of the cheaper ones as well and report back on them too

        May I suggest those cheap thin "leather" pads (because they are NOT made of leather) from AliExpress? I've tried quite some options, not ZMF, but 2 types of Dekoni and 4(?) kinds of cheap Chinese pads, those thin "leather" pads suit me the best, as they sound kinda warm-ish while others still give me the chill or spikes sometimes.

        Someone here tried them but I’m having trouble finding the impressions. IIRC they made some things better and some things worse. The consensus basically remains that, for HD800, stock pads are best. That’s what @ext1 uses, for instance.

        Just watched Pee Wee's Big Adventure with my 8-year-olds. They thought it was hilarious. A few scary bits during some dream sequences with clowns, but overall very enjoyable. Great to revisit it after many years. Still holds up.

        Why not do something along the lines with reproduction. Any audio tinkerer knows by adding any 'stage' you remove information from the source. Consider the chain of crap in a BT headset. So something should attempt to estimate back what the original kind of was. Wrong as it may be - one evil counters another.
