Asking "Hey guys, what's your opinion on x?" is frowned upon. Wireless is frowned upon. Headset requests are frowned upon. Isolation ≠ Noise cancellation If you dislike a headphone suggestion, try giving a better suggestion to whomever asked instead of going "hurr, brand x sucks"

So I tried to split my detachable headset (HyperX Cloud Core) into the headphone out port of my FiiO E10K and mic into my PC's mic-in front panel and I had a lot of noise and static.
I'm pretty sure it was an audio feedback issue.
With out the mic plugged in it's perfect and clean, no noise but of course I want to use my mic.
Anyone with this combo? What should I do? Should I just buy a USB mic?

Is it possible to pick headphones or EQ them according to the quality of your hearing? I'm pretty sure my hearing is bad, and a little different between the two ears. Any good way to test that?
Christian Phillips
I can't fit this type of cable anywhere, let anyone anything somewhat like what I want. I just bought NVX XPT100 and the cable comes out one from each can, running parallel and joining at the stereo jack. No idea what this type of cable is called. More so, I want to find one that has this 1 stereo to 2 mono setup and is coiled. Does this even exist?
Jeremiah Martinez
Sorry for the shitty sentence structuring.
Brandon Ortiz
Hi guys.
I have a LIttledot MK1+, Music Streamer III DAC, and Grado 325e's.
I'm looking for a closed ear alternative for more bass heavy music. I love my Grado's for jazz, acoustic, or anything with a lot of mid-highs. They're severely lacking in the bass department though.
Any recs for $450 and under, that would pair nicely with the Littledot?

What are some good microphones for gaming if I already own a good pair of headphones? I have no clue where to look and the wiki doesn't really help here. Price doesn't matter, but it should at least be better than the typical shitty headset microphone.
Christopher Brooks
>microphones for gaming You're just setting yourself up for shitposts by writing things like this. Audio is audio.
I'm guessing you mean something portable which clips on to the headphone, or do you mean something full size? Start there for better replies.
>Price doesn't matter Again, setting yourself up. Someone is gonna recommend a $5K microphone. You could just get a Blue Yeti or something if you want full size as most people consider it a good balance of price and performance.
Julian Russell
Yeah you're right, the topic makes me feel like a retard though because I have no idea where to look. Blue Yeti might be a bit too much for what I need. I'm currently looking at the ModMic 4.0 which seems to do the job.
I just need something that doesn't use too much space, doesn't sound like shit and I don't want my friends to hear the birds outside of my window.

Sorry but I live in a shithole (Brazil) and those models are pretty expensive here. I had a K452 that was okay to me. It was stolen and now I need a cheaper one. My options are Y40, Y50, HD 201, HD 202 II, PX100-IIi, XB450, some Audio Technica (ATH-S100, ATH-AX1IS, ATH-AX3, ATH-ANC25) and some older AKG ( K404, K414, K511, K518, K44). I liked the Y50s because the detachable cable, but if any of those have a better quality, I won't mind. I don't really care about how they look. Except having too much treble, anything is fine. Thanks for your help and sorry for the blogpost.

Se não se importar com usados de uma olhada nos classificados do HT Forum, os preços costumam ser mais justos e de tempos em tempos aparecem modelos bacanas a venda. Se estiver disposto a gastar um pouco mais e não se incomodar com um fone neutro tendendo para o agudo tem um Sony Mdr V6 sendo vendido lá agora mesmo. Esses portáteis da Akg não são grande coisa, uma alternativa portátil legal caso prefira comprar em loja é o Koss PortaPro.

>How does the TD500 weight against it? it's open and bass light, meme50 are closed and bass heavy. TAD500's fidelity is better.
>Or the TAD500 vs Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro Headphones - 80 Ohm >or ATH-MSR7BK i don't really like comparing open headphones to closed. you're going to find the same kind of bass on DT 770 as M50, but with a lot more treble. MSR7 have a similar sound signature to TAD500 but with more neutral bass. they're also out of your budget.

Best gym headphones setup?
Currently i am using westone adv, with standard westone cable and shure yellow foam eartips.
The adv cable fucks up as soon as it gets a little wet. I used to use westone 4rs but sweat got inside and killed them.
The shure cable is too heavy and too long. All the westone eartips are garbage. The comply tips are ok, but i prefer the shures. They dont last as long, but i got a big bag of them and replace every couple weeks.

Depends on the day. Legs day I can usually keep my DAP in a jersey pocket (in the back) and my MA750s clip to the back collar. Mids and arms I sometimes use either an arm pouch with my DAP and the wire coiled up or a bluetooth wireless adapter clip to the wire like a necklace.

I own the DT 880 and the HD 600 and I can say that the veil of the Sennheiser's is a meme.
I find the HD 600 to be even more detailed than the DT 880. The DT 880 have more pronounced highs, but that doesn't mean better detail, on the contrary, it hides the presence of the mids.
Landon Myers
I have EQ set up kinda like pic related, but less HF attenuation since mine have the SD mod.

I know you guys hate wireless, but for my purpose it's a very attractive feature. I completely understand the drawbacks. Noise cancellation isn't necessary, typically a closed can is more than enough isolation for my environment.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Jaxon Anderson
300 USD is unfortunately a graveyard in the closed headphone department outside of maybe fostex t50rp mods, particularly for a balanced sound signature
closest I can think of is the oppo-PM3, and I'd hardly call that balanced. The THX-00 even less so. I think this is the part where you just buy an overpriced bose QC 25 and call it a day

they will complement your m50 nicely, alternatively a used hifiman 400s if you can find a good deal
or just save an extra hundred over the next couple months and pick up an hd600

DESU I don't really like the M50s too much. I find them lacking in the mids
David Butler
>hd600 Also, how do the HD558s compare?
Jeremiah Brooks
garbage opinions incoming
Haven't heard the hd558's to compare them, supposedly the 558's have a bit more bass but less clarity and sound quality pretty much across the board. I can only compare them to the he-400s and fostex t50 rp mk3s and by far I preferred the hd-600s stock compared to both if you don't mind a neutral laid back sound signature, or just EQ them if you really want them to be V-shaped/forward or something. The fostexes are fun as hell for closed headphones but uncomfortable and the he-400s has issues in the mids department compared to the hd600, it felt like a slight downgrade everywhere except in bass quality. The 600's beat the shit out of both of them in everything but bass where it's anemic compared to the planars without some equalizing, but even then it can't really match the speed and fast decay of the fostex or quantity in the 400s
Cameron Gray
Wew lad that's a lot of information to take in. So if I understand what you're saying, you're saying that the 558s are the worst in terms of clarity and overall quality, and the HD 600s have the most neutral signature, but lack in the bass department?
So if I don't really care much about bass, you would say the HD 600s are the best? How about Beyerdynamic DT-880s?
Blake Hill
Not the same user but I just got a pair of hd598's and the bass on them is fine, with a good amount of detail across the spectrum.I would pick the hd600 over them but money was an issue.
Luis Walker
Yeah I'm really not trying to spend $200 on headphones but would be willing to. I gotta buy an Intel cpu son ; - ;
Jason Evans
Well the AD series from audio technica are NOT balanced, all AT open cans are treble heavy, so your best bet is the hd558.
Carter Sullivan
Are HD 598s worth the extra $50
Brandon Johnson
Can't say as it's been years since i heard the 518 or 558, but I would pay the $50 just for the aesthetic improvements.
I don't regret spending $220 AU on them, put it that way. They don't stack up against the hd600 or k712, but they're good for the price.
