Ah, I'm actually not that knowledgeable on microphones beyond the ubiquitous SM58s I used for some brief broadcasting work. I'm not sure how the audio/headphones community stands on the common USB condensers that most gamers who don't use headsets own, but I can recommend the ones I've used or heard very often on Discord/TS.

I have a Samson Meteor. It was inexpensive, the sound isn't bad at all, and I like it. It picks up my mechanical a little more harshly than I'd like, but that's on me for bottoming out when I type. My friends have either the Blue Yeti or the Pro variant, or the AT2020 (not sure which model, USB or XLR!). I think between all of us we cover all the most commonly recommended microphones under $200. Hope this wasn't all old information to you. :)

Original tweet.

 

The Division Bell by Pink Floyd (24 bit/96 kHz lossless).

 

Onkyo DP-X1 digital audio player (not to be confused with the side-upgraded model DP-X1A).
DAP was set to BTG Balanced Out, Variable Line Out Mode, Digital Filter Setting set to Short, max Volume Limiter, High Gain. The DAP is my master volume control to my 2x NuForce HA-200 monoblocks.

 

DHC 2.5mm TRRS to 2x 3-Pin XLR OCC pure silver Litz cable.
No link as this was a one off prototype cable to run my specific setup, until I can obtain a fully-fledged balanced DAC (such as the Oppo Sonica DAC).

 

2x Optoma NuForce HA-200 monoblock amplifiers, via Massdrop.
See here for specs.
Both monoblock volume pots are set to unity gain (0dB, max volume) so that I could use my source (Onkyo DP-X1) as the master volume control (it has 2Vrms balanced output as far as I can tell).

 

DHC 2x 3-Pin XLR to 4-Pin XLR Complement4 OCC pure silver Litz (22AWG) balanced adapter.

 

DHC Prion4 flagship OCC pure silver Litz (18.8AWG) balanced cable webpage .
My version is a custom The Legend of Zelda themed birthday present cable (red sleeve for hearts, blue sleeving representing the Hylian Shield, and one brass 3D printed cable metal with Prion4 and Triforce logs on left channel of cable).

 

Audeze EL-8 Titanium headphones.
In order to use the Prion4 cable above, DHC made one-off custom EL-8 series Zync adapters for me.

Well, I couldn't find the pictures but IIRC, the mod I did consisted of:

  • Cutting out circular foamie sheets ported in the center; placed right behind the driver; as big as the driver
  • Cutting out circular some sort of wool; no ports; behind the foamie sheet; as big as the driver (I believe I used arctic wool, don't think it has to be arctic wool as long as it's not very thick). I think I used 2 or 3 layers of that.
  • Cotton sheets on the front of the driver, I think I used quite a bit of layers to tame the elevated treble response caused by the foamie sheet. You can pretty much use as much as needed.
  • Speaker cloth over the cotton sheet. I use blu-tack to hold sandwiched front damping in place. You can get cheap sample speaker cloth here. They send a whole bunch and it's essentially free + shippnig IIRC.
  • I used Yamaha YH-1 earpads since they seal well on my ears. I believe these earpads may work as well. Just gotta adhere them on with either glue or double-sided tape.
  • Of course as I mentioned above, cutting out the silver baffle so that the driver is exposed. This does allow the driver to fall through, so I would recommend cutting out some sort of acoustically transparent material to act like a net so that the drivers won't fall through.

    If I decide to get another pair, I'll try to do a more comprehensive guide.

Big upgrade from my old KZ ES4 so I am very happy. Supposedly there is a lighter cable on the purple set, more copper color than brown. Had I known, I might have gone purple. Went Amazon due to lack of patience.

Mostly I spent a lot of time on experimenting with the drivers and cups, I settled with some kind of home-made "DYI" Lawton mod, like this.


It tightened up the sound of X00 so much, bass and mids are separate things suddenly, every detail stands out much more now, very enjoyable and worth doing imo. Next up was a combination of attenuation rings under the pads and rotation the original foam around the drivers. I've tried many more things than that, but I settled on those since in this case, "less is more" and new wooden cups + foam on the drivers really makes these shine. The rest is just to correct the tonality. If someone wants a darker sound, they can place a thin piece of felt directly over the speakers, tho I prefer it without it :) (felt over the driver also tames the sibilance but makes the sound less airy which I dislike)

EDIT: In case you're wondering, I used this foam for the driver mod. Amazon link here

The one in the foreground is actually just a cheapo mic stand: LINK

The one at the back is actually a Type 75, a very, very overpriced lamp: LINK
