O2 in the mail. Can't wait for the memes

Excellent thread.

Surely better than the other one

Let's see if this thread has any chance of survival.

>he does it for free

Why come no anime artisans ever see real booby in live?

Daily reminder that HD600 > HD800.

Confirming ATH-MSR7 is a meme, don't buy.

What's wrong with them? We need more information other than "because some guy online said so."

Why are there 2 threads?

...

only if you're poor

Retard who made the other one wasn't aware that you need an anime image in the OP.

Hey /hpg/. How do I see the decibel gain in MusicBee? There's only a slider and no number.

But user, HD800 is low-fidelity garbage.

Because the mod erased the first new thread. I suspect it was because the OP was a faggot making a new one before the old one hit the bump limit. There was also some discussion about making a new thread with an anime OP before it was deleted. After it was deleted there were two new threads made at roughly the same time. Now we seem to have a chance to vote on which OP is better.

I was obviously referring to the HD800S, because obviously, not for the poor

But user, HD800S is low-fidelity garbage.

Audio retard coming through

Can a DAC improve the fidelity of sound? I have SHP9500s that are being powered by some no name soundcard in my shitty 6 year old computer. The card is able to drive them but I was wondering if I could expect a difference in sound quality if I upgraded to a usb DAC of some sort.

Try it with your cell-phone and see if theres a difference, but NO a DAC won't do anything

>I was wondering if I could expect a difference in sound quality
Maybe if the DAC on your sound card is pretty crap but it will make a small difference so as to be hardly noticeable if at all.

Why is this dogshit still on the OP?

I realize this isn't really the right place to ask, but it's the best and only place on Sup Forums.

I'd like to get a gooseneck desk microphone. What's the cheapest one worth buying if I only use it to talk on VOIP and occasionally stream?

Is there an issue with it?

That garbage doesn't belong on the OP of a general, only info links.

Go back to head-shills and please, never return. This is troll-free space

I don't care about your opinion. I think it does a good job of weeding out the faggots. This is supposed to be a AUDIOPHILE headphone thread. Wireless and headsets are not audiophile

>Noise isolation ≠ Noise cancellation
>If you dislike a suggestion, try giving a better suggestion to whomever asked instead of going "hurr, x sucks"
How can you have any problem with these two? Come on.

/hpg/ isn't an audiophile thread.

Audiophile is a degenerate term around here.

But user, HD600 factually is higher fidelity than HD800.

I guess the truth offends some.

DT770 pro 80ohm

What amp should I get for these?

Uncomfortable if your using them for long sessions otherwise great headphones especially just for light travel.

Do you need an amp? Is your PC/phone not powerful enough?

>hd600 looks like my shit the day after I eat corn

>hd800 looks like some space grade equipment

I don't think you need one, but FiiO E10K is probably one of the cheapest options around.

More like space grade equipment that scratches easily.

Just buy the HD800S. It doesn't have a paint job but costs $500 more.

But why buy low-fidelity garbage like HD800/HD800S when you can buy a HD600?

Are the pads too thin? Is there too much clamp force? Do you have big ears and the cups are too shallow?

Can't you bend the headband or something to make it a bit more comfy, or is it due to clamping force? Also, how's noise iso and does the plastic build creak?

Honestly, I don't see the point of the MSR7 as portables tho when you can just get the M100s for like the same price. Better build quality and more comfy w/ XL pads, but I want to get the MSR7s bc I think they'd compliment my m100s nicely

Because HD800 has crisp undistorted sound, when HD600 is farting from the mud pit.

I mean, I thought I would need an amp to get everything outta them since all my other cans were fairly low impedance and I just don't have enough experience with headphones in this price range. I need to crank volume at 80% on my S4 to be able to enjoy them. Pc is quite okay thou, onboard dac is pretty good I guess

Would the new FiiO a1 be okay for the phone?

What the fuck?

This has got to be the worst op I've seen for this general. Also, blue fucking board.

>Wireless and headsets are not audiophile
Because of..?

>This is supposed to be a AUDIOPHILE headphone thread
No. It's a headphone thread for everyone. Most regulars are quite audiophile.

Post is sfw senpai

...

>Because of..?
They compromise sound quality and price for a bit of convenience.

>It's a headphone thread for everyone.
I completely agree with you.

Your a fucking creep.

Mostly I will plug them to my pc
>Preferred type of headphone
Full size
>Open or closed
Since I use them at home I don't care if they're open.
>Comfort level
I will probably wear them a lot so comfy would be better
>Preferred tonal balance
I listen to all types of music but usually I end up listen to rock. I tried bassy headset once and I didn't like the sound so I'd pass on them

Genuinely can't tell whether posts like this are troll or not

????????

Sad part is this is just as bad as the op

ass we can

Is this the anime thread?

This is a headphones webm, she's wearing them even if you can't see it!

So what's Sup Forums's opinion on wireless headsets? I'm looking to buy one.

What's the appeal of a bitch like Maki anyway?

Now this is what I call a great thread

I want to rub that tummy if you know what I mean

Agreed!
Based op

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WIRELESS HEADSET?!?!!??!?!"?!?!?!?!?!?1?!?1/1?!?1/1/1/ REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

loving that animation desu

Stay triggered

What does Sup Forums think of the Sennheiser Momentums?

But user, HD800 sounds muffled and has peaky treble.

Trash aimed at hipsters looking for an alternative to beats.

Should I buy a pair of beats by Dre?

Is this the nsfw qt3.14 thread?

If you generally don't care about audio quality or price go for it. I say "generally" because only one model of beast has ever been recommendable just like there is only one pair of headsets.

She's cute

Why is her left tit much larger than the right one?
