Does anyone know if the senheiser MX 365 would be suitable for Ultima

RVconsultant · January 31, 2021, 6:03pm

@Fire and @SaintSovereign would you please comment on the Senheiser MX 365 for Ultima? (See above)

SaintSovereign · February 1, 2021, 2:38am

They aren’t the best, but it’ll work.

I’m generally using Apple wired earpods. When I’m walking about.

When I’m at home I’m either using those or if I’m at the desktop computer Sony MDRXB50AP Extra Bass Earbuds. uggh. Do I need to get new headphones?

Thanks for commenting!

When you say ultima will not work with low spec headphones, does it mean if I use a low spec headphone I will not have any result, or result up to per with Q/lower than Q?
I sometimes listen to Stark Ultima or Stark Terminus Masked with headphones. If Ultima is not sure to give me full benefits/best result with my headphone, would it be better to just go with Q/Terminus?

@SaintSovereign a more detail oriented question above about headphones.

SaintSovereign · February 1, 2021, 11:44pm

It’ll work, but it may not work the best. You’ll still get results.

Possibly. You can still use the Ultimas as a booster.

@SaintSovereign What about these for Ultima?

SaintSovereign · February 2, 2021, 1:08am

They should be alright. There’s bass boost, so I’m not sure how that will affect the Ultima.

James · February 2, 2021, 1:16am

I don’t use it so hopefully that helps

Malkuth · February 2, 2021, 1:21am

Maybe we can ask from the other direction: are there any particularly highly recommended headphones?

Maybe low-, mid-, and high-cost?

Avengers68 · February 2, 2021, 1:26am

Sennheiser HD 280 pro is perfect for Ultima and I bought it for 110 $

Azriel · February 2, 2021, 1:38am

Over the ear, ear bud, and speakers
All low-mid-high cost.

Senheiser HD 280 is currently Ultima king of over the ear mid(?) end cost

Here’s my vote for high end over the ear

they come with free shipping

I am using very cheap Sony MDR EX255AP earphones as recommended by @Simon

https://www.ebay.com.au/p/11015348578

I paid US$15 for my earphones.

James · February 2, 2021, 2:02am

I may have to get a pair at some point. I love that they are not bluetooth.

SubliminalUser · February 2, 2021, 2:19am

@SaintSovereign would you know if AirPods Pro gives full results (esp in noise cancelling mode) despite not being studio headphones?

Sinusoid · February 2, 2021, 2:24am

@SubliminalUser I just got a pair of AirPods Pro and the noise cancellation is awesome and the Ultimas sound great.

I also have the Sennheiser HD 280 Pros.

Azriel · February 2, 2021, 2:28am

do you experience a similar effect from each, or is one seem to be more powerful?

Sinusoid · February 2, 2021, 2:32am

I think the Sennheiser is more powerful. Listening to Love Bomb, with the new Ultima core, on the Sennheiser is really powerful. But practically, I can only use the Sennheiser at home, and I do listen to Ultimas away from home. So the AirPods are very convenient and, while not as powerful, do the job quite well.
