chuckears Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I’m not sure how listening to recorded sounds from speakers playing through my iPhone is going to be at all helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I could hear a difference of my laptop speakers. I think the Heresys sounded better, a little more full. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't either. That's why you're supposed to wear earbuds or headsets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better is a pair of high-performance over-ear headphones powered by an AudioQuest DragonFly. Why? Because the DragonFly (available in Black, Red, or Cobalt, listed by increasing price) is an affordable combo DAC and headphone amp. It plugs into the source's USB port, bypassing the source unit's usually low-end to midrange DAC in favour of the DragonFly's higher-end Sabre ESS DAC. The headphones plug into that. The little dragonfly on the unit's body lights up in various colours to let you know what type of signal it's receiving. The much better DAC gives you clarity, and the amplifier gives your 'phones more authority. That's not to say that's the only way to get good sound when listening to an iPad or the like, but it's one effective and satisfying way. Schiit gear seems to fit in there, too.

You need to have the Heritage Series, horn loaded Klipsch iPhone. 😀 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 A few years ago I spent an afternoon recording a song playing back through my LS. I used different microphones and setups (stereo pair, ORTF, etc.) through an interface into a PC. I used some EV omnis, cardioids, and AKG condenser cardioids. I finally had a recording that matched pretty well with the original playback in my living room. It was a nice exercise. I wouldn't trust anything recording straight into the phone with the built in microphone, no matter what phone brand was used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 They both sound good in the cans I'm listening on at work. I'm a bit jaded as I love my Heresy IIs. I could easily live with the Forte I series as well. Nice choice of music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
