I know that noise cancellation isn’t an option for us to use but how about transparency mode? Theoretically that shouldn’t be a problem I feel, but I just want to be sure.

@bombayduck

how about transparency mode?

It works. I use transparency mode by default for both Lifechargers and masked tracks.

It was a hard rule with Ultimas (to not use noise cancellation), but I’m not so sure now that everything is in ZP format.

Noise cancellation isn’t recommended. Most of the noise cancellation features works by recording the outside sound, flipping the waveform and playing it through the earbuds, which has a “cancellation” effect on the outside noise. This can actually mess up the ultrasonic portion of an Ultima, or even a masked file. Transparency mode on the other hand, doesn’t cause this because it’s actually “letting the sound” through rather than trying to cancel it.

i wouldnt use noise cancellation also with ZP. transparency mode is ok.

[SaintSovereign]

Transparency mode is fine. I use it all the time.

I’ve been experimenting with more headsets and I think I’m going to change my official recommendation to the Nura earbuds. The AirPods Pro just aren’t as durable as I’d like.

@SaintSovereign

official recommendation to the Nura earbuds

Do you use the personalized sound feature, or is using a flat eq still the best way to go?

@SaintSovereign

The AirPods Pro just aren’t as durable as I’d like.

Nooooooooooooooo!!! Why?

[bombayduck]

Is there a point in using any Nura product without the personalized EQ?

[summit]

I was asking with regard to a specific context: when listening to subs.

I wasn’t asking @SaintSovereign what settings to use for my day-to-day listening enjoyment, lol

This is where my question came from…

@SaintSovereign

With Ultima, you want a “flat response” set of headphones / studio monitors that won’t apply any modifications to the sound.

@SaintSovereign would know if there’re reasons not to use that feature while listening to subs, or at least I assume he’d know.

Any input on this, @SaintSovereign ?

[Light-hearted-sith]

Will raycon earbuds work?

[NinjaFox]

Been looking at the nuraphone for sometime will look into buy them some time later down.

Ok so if I have understood correctly…we can use $10 earphones for listening to ZP titles? The expensive earphones were important only for listening to old Ultimas?

Yes, that’s right

If you think about it, that’s a testament to the advancement in SC’s technology.

My Wife just told me about Anker . I will probably get a pair of earbuds of theirs for myself and my Wife next week when I get paid. I have never heard of the company but my Wife reads reddit a lot and I guess they are popular with audiophiles on there.
I saw two different models under $50. I

I use good ol’ wired apple earpods with the lightning connector.

Or when I’m lazy I play the file on my iphone speakers

Works great

Masked or Ultrason ?

@Machichi_Paris

Masked or Ultrason ?

With headphones?? Masked version if using headphones.

[Prioritas]

Masked always, whether on headphones or speakers
