Hello Andy, You do not know how happy I am when I see review of over ear cans that used with Dongles. I am not so fan of in ears as I do not like the touch and feels in my ear canal so much. And you Andy are one and maybe the only that make such good subjective reviews with over ear-dongles. Really happy and to see dongles drive correctly over ear headphones. So much space saved and enjoy music in many places in house and out of it with no worries! Have a nice day!

As a newbie, i always learn so much from watching your videos. I appreciate that you go out of your way to explain and demonstrate everything you're saying. The wide soundstage of the AR5000 sounds very appealing 😊 also i was wondering if you prefer the copper 4.4mm cable you bought separately, instead of the stock 3.5mm cable
@donglemadness

Thanks. This means a lot to me. And yes the copper 4.4mm BAL cable is what I prefer to use more, not only it allows me to use 4.4mm BAL, it also offers refined smoothness to the overall decays and organic touch to AR5000 timbre. Thanks again

I'm sure there are cheaper options, but I was offered it by a friend and it was my first (might be my last) kilobuck iem. No regrets. I'd stop at the Xenns Top, but stuff happens.

Hi Andy, good day. If budget allow, Sennheiser HD600 should be a better candidate performing neutral overall while support more genre music? While I start enjoying my music with the IEM Rose Technics SC5P you introduced earlier, I kind of worried to wear IEMs for more than 2 hours per use. Is it using Headphone should be more feasible for wearing more than 2 hours? Whenever I am on the move, I will bring my Onix + SC5P, but when i am at home, some times i will submerge into the music, sink deep in to the song enjoying what singer and instrument bring to me, and without notice time had passed almost 2 hours. Or any budget headphone are welcome to ring me a bell as well.

Between AR5000 and HD600, AR5000 offers flatter sound which makes it more suited for neutral monitoring and HD600 offers denser natural timbre. Both highly versatile for most genre but I find HD600 to be smoother with Metal music. You must also take into account AR5000 offers wider soundstage while HD600 is more Mids centric focused. SC5P actually hovers closer to AR5000 sound (except that SC5P is a little more Bass boosted)

The $49 Aune copper 4.4mm BAL cable is fairly priced when you consider that many other HiFiMan premium cables are priced higher at over $100 and some of them are over $300, good cables are not cheap, and cheap ones tend to perform not as good - I have tried many so I know this for a fact
