I think a really good dac/amp is the Audient Evo 4 which can easily run your HD 660s, it has really great features, you can connect your speakers, your 2 XLR microphones, a musical instrument like an electric guitar, and of course your Headphones. you can control the volume for your speakers/headphones with the big dial at the top, and the volume of your microphones, just click 1 or 2 to select which microphone you want to control and use the volume dial to set the volume. if you have your headphones and microphone connected to the Evo 4, you can control how much you want to hear yourself when you speak to the microphone, or how much you want to hear whatever you’re doing on your computer, that way you can balance whether you want to hear both, just yourself, or just the game.

here is the Evo 4 Link

I hope you found this helpful

Yo! Yeah I did end up finding a solution, but unfortunately it required purchasing an xlr microphone.

I bought this audio interface that allows real time monitoring, but I ended up returning it because with the at2035 mic that I also bought, it did not make any sense financially. So, when I use my mic I just use my philips shp9500 headphones that allows me to hear myself since they are open-back. When I am not using my mic, then I use my iems. This solution works, but I do not know if you want to drop like $350 on new gear. I mean you can get a cheaper mic and interface, but I always like purchasing hardware with good quality that is going to last me for a few years at minimum.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

you probably already bought something but i still want to say thise.

personally for me im using the HD 58x, they are AMAZING for the price, for 150 dollars, some people say that it’s pretty similar to the HD 660, which is a 400-500 dollar.

also, I am using the Audient Evo 4, it has really great features, you can connect your speakers, your 2 XLR microphones, a musical instrument like an electric guitar, and of course your Headphones. you can control the volume for your speakers/headphones with the big dial at the top, and the volume of your microphones, just click 1 or 2 to select which microphone you want to control and use the volume dial to set the volume. if you have your headphones and microphone connected to the Evo 4, you can control how much you want to hear yourself when you speak to the microphone, or how much you want to hear whatever you’re doing on your computer, that way you can balance wether you want to hear both, just yourself, or just the game.

here it is if you want to check it out

i hope this was helpful.

I’d pick the Audient EVO4. I personally like the design because the connections are not on the front. It also seems more modern in design with one main control. Excellent performance and is in in the same price range as the others you mention.

Hi there, unfortunately on iOS you are lock to one usb interface. So you can’t use multiple usb microphones(audio interfaces).But, you can buy a regular audio interface with multiple inputs, like the one i have in photo and buy two XLR condenser microphones or dynamic mics, connect them to the interface.this way not only do you have two mics but you can also control the volume of each microphone. you can also go for the big brother which gives you 4 inputs for an extra £60. this is mine by the way, got it for £99 but price is now £110 EVO 4

Budget – $0-$150

Source – 3.5 mm aux output on my speakers

Requirements for Isolation – Isolation is not a priority as it will be used for gaming at home.

Will you be using these Headphones in Public? No

Preferred Type of Headphone – I want in-ear earbuds. No over the head, just regular headphones!

Preferred tonal balance – I want an overall balance to play games with.

Past headphones – I currently have Bose 700s and Airpod Pros. They’re fine but unfortunately my ears start to hurt wearing the bose for long periods of time.

Preferred Music – EDM.

What would you like to improve on from your set-up – What are you looking for going into your next headphone? More bass? More detail? More treble? Just earbuds!

Also, if someone can recommend me… I’m honestly not sure what they’re called.

But I want a device where I can easily access the 3.5mm aux cable and also have a dial to adjust my volume as needed that can be connected with my current speakers.

I found this from a youtuber: https://www.amazon.com/Audient-EVO-USB-Audio-Interface/dp/B084BGC5LR/ref=pd_ybh_a_26?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=P87DJ1X3S6X8QA04KJ1G

I think this will satisfy my requirements. Any thoughts?

You are perfectly describing an audio interface. They come in lots of shapes, sizes and prices. There’s a huge choice if you just search the web, Amazon, or any audio equipment web site.

I’ve been searching for one for personal use and the one I plan to buy is the Audient EVO4.

I’m still trying to figure out how you even got the AT2020 to plug into your PC. You should already have the interface or at least some kind of adapter.

As far as audio interfaces go, my top two picks would go to the Audient Evo 4 or the Scarlet Focusrite Solo.

I’m a fan of Optimum Tech and he reviewed the Evo 4 in this video. As for the Focusrite Solo, it’s a 5 star product with over 20k reviews on Amazon. It speaks for itself.

No idea re: UK return policies (I’m in NY), but investing in a cheap “all-in-one” DAC/AMP is not at all a bad idea to do (motherboards do vary in DAC/AMP implementation): the Audient Evo 4 (via Amazon UK) is a really good combo implementation, at a reasonable price, to boot.

In almost all cases, though, getting a better DAC/AMP isn’t gonna result in better performance: that’s usually down to getting a headphone that works for you, then playing w/the EQ for fine-tuning.

—–

Basic EQ breakdown below for playing around with (couldn’t link it, sorry):

An Overview Of EQ Frequencies

Sub Bass
Sub Bass ranges from 20Hz to approximately 60Hz. An appropriate amount of Sub Bass can give your track a boost in power, but too much will make your low end sound muddy and undefined.

Bass
Bass ranges from 60Hz to approximately 250Hz. A lot of Bass may sound nice, but it can also completely overpower the rest of your mix. As always, use with restraint.

Low Mids
Low Mids range from 250Hz to approximately 1500Hz. These frequencies are responsible for the warmth and atmosphere of a sound, but it’s also one of those frequency ranges that plenty of different instruments deal in. To avoid frequency clashes between these instruments, you ought to think twice about boosting this frequency range.

High Mids
High Mids range from 1500Hz to approximately 4kHz. If you use a lot of lead synths, you will have a lot going on in this frequency range. It’s also the sweet spot of the punch of most percussion instruments (excluding kick drums).

Presence
Presence ranges from 4kHz to approximately 7kHz. Boosting this frequency range can add to the clarity of the mix and/or specific sounds, but too much can be very tiresome to listen to.

Brilliance/Noise
Brilliance/Noise ranges from 7kHz to 20kHz. It is quite similar to Presence in its use, but the higher end of this frequency range is mostly hisses and noise. A small boost may give your mix some breathing space, but too much just means you’re dealing with a lot of high-frequency noise.

NOTE: The above frequency ranges are not set in stone; they are mere guidelines. There can also bit a bit of overlap between these ranges.

——–

Again, try out the 560S for another week, and if it really doesn’t work for you, you should look into another headphone: here is a list of headphones (with some breakdown info per headphone) — it’s a good starting point, with prices denominated in USD (so, YMMV).

OOF just get an evo 4 + xm8500 if you want a better inexpensive mic setup.

$149 in total and even better mic quality.

The 2020s are good mics but large diaphragm condenser mics have frequency response that is designed to flatter vocals more than instruments like a piano. Instead of the 2020s I’d recommend a pair of small-diaphragm condensers. I can recommend this pair of MXL mics. I have only one, but they are excellent for the price and should perform a bit better than the 2020s.

Also, upright pianos require different mic placement than grands. (For recording in small places I actually prefer them.) For a bright sound, put the piano about 1 ft from the wall and open the top. Put the two mic about 1-2 ft above, halfway between middle C and the ends, slightly to the front so there is a line of sight to the hammers but not to the action. To make it even brighter, open the front but still keep the mics high. It’s OK to hang the mics straight down, no worries about aiming them exactly at the strings. They have a very wide acceptance angle.

Far a darker sound but with punch (like a grand with the lid closed) rotate the piano at a right angle to and 1-2 ft from the wall, treble end toward the wall–if such placement is possible. Try to get the piano away from the wall in any case. Place one mic near the bass end, one near the treble end, aimed toward the middle, at about hammer height.

Yes, you’ll need a stereo interface. I’ve been exploring these for myself recently, and the Audient EVO4 is my choice. Very good reviews and specs. I’ll be placing my order soon! I know the Scarletts are popular but they are an older design.

Hope this helps!
