Asking "Hey guys, what's your opinion on x?" is frowned upon. Wireless is frowned upon. Headset requests are frowned upon. Noise isolation ≠ Noise cancellation If you dislike a suggestion, try giving a better suggestion to whomever asked instead of going "hurr, x sucks"
is the sony UDA 1 a good amp/dac and why or why not?

Also, how good is the neewer clip on mic compared to headset mics? As long as there isn't too much noise it won't be a problem.

Coped the questions from South African brother.
I have had headsets for gaming and a pair of on ear marshalls in the past, I don't care for a microphone or anything like that.
Sorry about the headset request but I don't really know where else to turn considering I'm not that experienced.

Okay okay i just remembered i needed a USB attachment cause i snapped my headphone jack.
So scratch the USB, i don't NEED surround sound.
So what would be the best

So i fell off my chair (lol) and snapped the green headphone input.
I thought USB was better, bu you corrected me on that.
So what's a good headset that has a Headphone jacs, 30 - 70 bucks and has a microphone

Daniel Jackson
Use headphones at home and IEMs for outdoors.
Jayden Kelly
Yeah but what about a microphone inside
Sebastian Watson
There are lots of desktop mikes to choose from. Or if you have to have something attached to the headphones you can modmic or get a clip on.
Jack Ward
if you want to pay 1$, just buy a cheap lapel mic.
if you want to pay 20-30$ go the /csg/ way and buy a Chinese condenser mic with a stand and a cheap usb soundcard.
Jose Davis

Luke Robinson

headset
Gavin Reed
No.
All headsets have mics with the same quality as a 1$ lapel mic because people who buy them don't care about sound quality.
The headphone part also sound like shit because again, people who buy them don't care about sound quality.
Benjamin Lopez
Ok but because i have alzhemirs. Or hopefully a form of autism.
Do you think i'm smart enough to clip it on without breaking it
You're asking in the wrong place. Remember that audiophiles are autistic, and they don't understand why you would be willing to sacrifice some amount of quality for another convenience.
Ian Morgan

Hey guys i listen to alot of classical and metul, what are some good headphones for both? Also my brother got some sennheiser 598s, what do you think of that? And in this chart the dt770pro is near the 598s price, what are your thoughts on those and how do they compare to the sennheisers?
Sorry for all the questions
Austin Flores

92 AUD
no thanks
Charles Clark
If you are only interested in cheap crap why bother asking for purchasing advice?
Jordan Hill
A neutral headphone would probably be best for multiple genres. 598s are pretty good. Super comfy and good sound quality. Lower end is lacking though.
Justin Kelly
So i can purchase the best cheap crap, duh
Logan White

Can anyone comment on the K553 Pros? At $119 on Massdrop, it's not too shabby of a price...
Coming from Sennehiser 558's if that makes a difference. Not necessarily looking for a replacement (I know the 553's are closed) I just want something close back, under $200 that aren't shit.
Justin Kelly
>Pondered for hours for what out come? I don't fucking know. I'm not that user you were talking to hours ago. >Was i? Pic related. You were previously posting too many times long enough.
Jacob Young
1) HD558 is cheaper than and it can easily modded into a HD598 2) no reason to tell people that DT880's availability in different impedances is an advantage, when everyone knows that the DT880 600 Ohm is the best model and it's the only DT880 model which is worth buying. 3) K702 doesn't absolutely need an amp more than what a DT880 600 ohm does. K702 can be easily driven thtough cheap amps, unlike the DT880 600 Ohms and more high-end stuff. 4) K702 doesn't lack bass. 5) K612 is missing in the sub-200$ cathegory. 6) HD600 is better and cheaper than the HD650. This said, the DT770 is V-shaped (lot of bass and treble, recessed mids) whereas HD598 is certainly more neutral. HD598 is open, while DT770 is closed. Do you need isolation from outside noises or do you mean to use headphones in public spaces? If the answer to these questions is no, then you'd better get an open heapdhone. HD598 is good, but I'd recommend either a HD558 or a K612.
Gabriel Lewis
That gummage, though.
Jason Jones
Own the K550's I find them kinda boring personally, since they're pretty neutral and dull. I prefer more bassy headphones, but I must admit they're great for watching movies and videogames, so that's where they get the most use from me. If you like neutral sounding headphones I guess they're okay. Can't go wrong for 120 bucks
Mason Adams
Why
Julian Davis
Why what? I just came into this thread 30 mins ago. Then I had a browse through. Then I saw this argument between you and this person giving you shit. Then I had a look at any local online stores for that Hyper Cloud headphone.
I have no idea what you're trying to shitpost to me about. I'm also Australian. What the fuck do you want from me?
Juan Brown
Soundstage.
It's the effect of having the headphones sound like the music is coming from outside your head, rather than inside it. Wider, deeper, with more distance between instruments. IEM's sound like the music is coming from right inside your head.
Brody Davis
The dt770 is a closed headphone with more bass and treble than necessary, so it's used for things like drummers who like to hear that sort of sound because it emphasises their instrument in the recording.
HD598's are neutral, meaning no one frequency is overly emphasised compared to another. This makes them great for things like classical or jazz where you want to hear music how it was intended.
Not to mention the "hd558 is a cheaper 598 lol sennshills" meme.
Mason Ross

I'm looking to get rid of my old gaming headset which served me well, but I'd really like to upgrade for a better sound quality. I did some research and I found the Samson SR850C, but I'm a bit worried about the open back part. I never had an open headphone before and I'm afraid the sound leak would be a bit too much. I'm also looking for a microphone. I heard Modmic are okay but they are expensive. I'd say I have an overall budget of 70€. If someone can help out, that would be great, thanks.
Nolan James
HyperX Cloud I is the best gaming headset. Get it.
Henry Clark
I dont think I want to buy a gaming headset again, I feel like I'm paying too much for low quality. Maybe I'm wrong, and in this case I'll look into it.
Lucas Kelly
HyperX Cloud is badically a rebranded Tascam with detachable mic and mpre accessories. It's a good closed headphone and the mic isn't as bad as mics of other headsets. You couldn't find a headphone and a detachable mic with your budget btw.
