Very few ppl nowadays ( especially younger generation) care very little for hi res sound quality because music nowadays is readily downloadable . But I care a lot about good sound quality and I'm sticking with wired , thanks.
How does one start who isn’t an “audiophile” but wants the absolute best quality I can get without breaking the bank. I currently own a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4’s and I use them wired when listening to music because there is a noticeable difference in sound quality compared to listening over Bluetooth. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and of course that means I’m using that $10 lightning dongle to connect my headphones. I started using Tidal for my streaming service because I wasn’t aware that the dongle is only capable of a max of 16 bit/48 kHz or whatever the exact number is. I’m literally just starting to learn about DAC’s and other equipment (I had no idea it was all so complicated and so expensive) I’m a nearly 40 year old fully disabled combat veteran from the United States. I live on a very fixed and VERY LOW INCOME (I get less than $3800/month and that’s what I survive off of) so what are some ways I could START OUT getting into Hi-Res audio without paying a ton of money just to see if I will even be able to notice a difference? Any help from anyone is greatly appreciated!!
@@Tremonti4ever Sorry to disappoint. Sony XM5 are no way close to audiophile grade. be it wired or wireless. You can get yourself a Sennheiser HD660 with a FiiO K7 DAC
This message in this video has been practically experimented by me. I wish 15 Months ago i had buyed aria instead of lypertek z3. Now the battery of my tws is going down day by day
z3 has battery issues with most of the models (happened with me + a friend). You can only ask for a fix if it's under warranty (and the process is not very convenient), but it will do the job for a while.
Thank you, needed to hear this. On my way to get a starter plannar (he400se) headphone and a very good dac. Yes the dac is 3 times more expensive for future usage.
Hi, great insights. About the battery life of the wireless headphones, do they really go to waste after 2 to 2.5 years? Cause I have a boat rockerz 400 and using it for more than 6 years, still works. Battery life have decreased a bit though.
It's impressive that your Boat Rockerz 400 has lasted for more than 6 years! Battery issues are a common occurrence, and most devices have to be replaced after a certain amount of time, depending on how they're used. It's great to hear that despite the decrease in battery life, your headphones are still going strong. Regularly charging and discharging lithium-ion batteries, as well as storing them at room temperature, can help prolong their life. Keep enjoying your music!
Seems I was lucky. Even the headband broke once and I taped it using plastic cut piece and tape. About to buy a new one now, will go for wired headphones this time.
We're really happy to hear that and would recommend getting in touch with the Headphone Gurus on our website via chat and they'll take it ahead from there.
Please do a review video of JBL Tour One M2. I am using it for last 2 weeks. Based on my likings I am totally satisfied with the product. Call Quality, Sound Quality, Battery Backup, ANC and everything is pretty gd. Overall gives me a premium feel in every aspect. A good pair of closed back headphone under 25k (better than Sony XM4 I would say). I need to know what's your opinio on that.
Nowadays most of the over the ear headphones come with AUX port. If we use them with AUX cable, will it give the clarity and performance like the actual wired headphones ? How much difference in sound quality will be there in the same headphone if used with bluetooth and with the AUX cable.
Hey there, using a wired connection will certainly make an impact. How much of an impact will depend on multiple variables (Like source, quality of the audio file .. etc)
I am confused in between oppo enco x2 which is wireless earbuds and some people says that they sound really good , but what about KZ ZS10 PRO X which is wired earphone , and there are a huge price difference in between these two. So which one should i go for , my priority is listening music only . I don't care about convince
Yes it's really saddening to see the world looking only for the bling, compromising heavily on sound quality Same is happening in the car industry as well
Oh, the quest for bling and shiny things! It seems like we're living in an age of aesthetics, doesn't it?! Cars, headphones, everything's got to look good. But remember, beneath all that glitz, the real treasure lies in the sound quality, and in the case of cars, the joy of the drive. Sometimes, it's the simple, unadorned gems that shine the brightest. Keep appreciating the finer things in life! 😄🎵🚗✨
@@headphone_zone yep 💯. i use a wired ~9k earphones with a ibasso dac, but people consider this as outdated and they show off their buds. Even if they forgot to charge the buds and buds ran out of charge, they will still wear it for show off😂😂
Which one is better wired headphones for home listening with FIIO M11 Plus ESS out of these three? 1. Audeze LCD2 Classic 2. Audeze M100 3. DCA Aeon 2 Noire
It's great to hear that you found the information helpful. Concerns about replaceable batteries are valid, especially for costly wireless headphones. It's always essential to consider all factors before making a purchase decision. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
@@headphone_zone thanks for your reply, please suggest a wired , in-ear headphone( preferably without mic) within Rs 5-6k , Sony , Sennheiser, JBL are my preferences ( my limited knowledge) .

It's great that you're looking to explore Hi-Res audio without breaking the bank. Since you already have a decent pair of headphones, the next step would be to invest in a DAC like the iFi Audio Go Link. This will allow you to experience higher-quality audio than what your Apple DAC can provide. As you continue to explore and learn more about audio equipment, you can consider upgrading your headphones or IEMs in the future, but there's no rush to spend a lot of money right away. Take your time to enjoy the journey and discover the nuances of Hi-Res audio. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions along the way. Keep the music playing!
Please make a video on Can lossless is different from Dolby Atmos in earphones and IEM for best experience for watching content in best sounding experience in smartphone?
Lossless means that the data has not been resampled nor the resolution is lost. Dolby atmos is a codec. If you want to experience the Dolby Atmos, the song should be encoded in Dolby Atmos. You need hardware to decode it.
@@gamingandmusic9217These basics/meanings also I know about it . But I want to about the experience of sound quality Raghav Sir in full potential like using IEM and Dolby Atmos in movie experience.Which thing has best Surrounding experience or detailed between instruments
The only real reason I care about wired and prefer it to wireless is for the simple fact that I don’t have to charge something. It will always work. All I have to do it plug them in.
Hi Raghav! I am looking to buy my first set of IEMs. I am a bit confused after watching ur video for best IEMs under 2k. I listen to R&B, pop, rap and electronic mostly. Looking forward to ur suggestion!
Well, well, it seems like your Samsung earphones are giving those AirPods Pro a run for their money! Who knew a little wired magic could outshine the wireless wonders? 😄
I am all for the wired hi-res route but I think some fair pros of wireless have to be mentioned: 1. Wireless. Just that. Dealing with wires can be such a pain. If you have pets for example - those wires are a prime target. We all have had to untangle earphone wires. It is a pain. Sure we can get more premium wired cables, braded ones - but they are bulkier and don’t easily get tied. I am sure every wired headphone/earphone owner reading this has condemned a pair because the cable just gave out at the ends. Wired headphones also tend to just stop working randomly due to said cable issues. 2. Volume! Got a pair of fancy headphones? Great. Turns out your phone or computer doesn’t have the juice to power it to a decent volume! Fancy/good quality headphones need a DAC/AMP for decent volume. So yes, now you have more stuff to buy. 3. What music do you listen to? If your music taste is basically just the Billboard Hot 100 or Spotify top ten, then what does Hi Res audio even mean to you? If you don’t really know what a hi hat is, chances are most of the modern pop music landscape is tuned to low res streaming in-mind and hence unless you fancy yourself quite musically aware Hi Res might not mean that much to you.

HI-Res music + Wired IEM + DAC is an out of the world experience for sure.
iems make more sense for our hot and humid country but wireless open back with ANC is peak convenience and fidelity combined
@@ydid687 open back with ANC?? Do u mean closed back?

Hi, what is the real difference between c type and 3.5 mm jack wired earphones?

Thank you, needed to hear this. On my way to get a starter plannar (he400se) headphone and a very good dac. Yes the dac is 3 times more expensive for future usage.

This varies from brand to brand. But in general, you would be lucky if the battery life works fine for 2-3 years of usage.
