K KenM10759 Audioholic Ninja Oct 8, 2015 3,058 0 113 Spencer MA, USA Nov 24, 2018 #5,462 For $99, I'm willing to try some noise-cancelling headphones. And they are VERY nice. How effective the function, I don't know. They get good reviews for everything except the $420 original price. New version is wireless, Newegg was blowing these out. Extremely comfy, though tighter than my KEF M500 on-ear ones. Better sound with the N-C engaged, really deep bass without any sign of boominess. Reactions: afterlife2 and John Parks

Not yet. When I add a small sub...that'll be when it hits the overkill button hard. Reactions: Sealman, Drunkpenguin and John Parks

afterlife2 Audioholic Warlord Oct 7, 2011 9,980 0 113 Nov 26, 2018 #5,469 Hi Ken, Gives you like a being there sound. I bought them for Movies and maybe for some fun music. These have deep bass so great for action movies and bass heavy music. I'll see if I like them if not reselling them. These are not audiophile quality more of a fun headphone.

And I thought my JVC HA-SZ2000s (i.e., '18" Subwoofers for Your Head') were radical with a mere TWO drivers per side! I am really tempted to check the UFOs out, if only for bragging rights!

They've recently redesigned Momentum/HD1 and these fit nicely. I have the same problem - large head, bigger ears! I made sure they fit by trying on a (non-Pink Floyd edition) pair at BB before I ordered... They sound awesome, the noise cancelling is pretty good and look better in person:

Not sure exactly what I am going to do with it but couldn't pass on the price. Click to expand... It will run at full range till it rolls off the frequency at the higher end. Why not suspended from the ceiling facing upwards a few so inches away from the reflected ceiling surface are we starting to get the idea? Use anything but that Dolby DSU/dts upmixer it sounds dreadful! Its okay as discrete Atmos, but the upmixers are lousy. Use an external matrix decoder on the surrounds to create a centre and matrix ambiance or effects with the rear surround from the decoder its a lot more fun. So yeah fit up on the ceiling in free air it will or should have defused sound spread facing upwards at certain frequencies. I'd fit up 15" JBL if I could find a good stud to screw into for firm suspension. I have small Kef SP1014 used at present for testing as its lighter-weight.

K KenM10759 Audioholic Ninja Oct 8, 2015 3,058 0 113 Spencer MA, USA Nov 30, 2018 #5,480 I just ordered up a pair of the stands KEF Direct had on sale, to eventually get my LS50's off the desk and onto stands next to the desk. These are way over-priced at list, but for the $149.00 sale price they're about right. This link might change after the sale ends tonight. https://www.kefdirect.com/speaker/s...essories/single-post-speaker-stand-black.html Reactions: snakeeyes
