pastebin.com/fYZLW7Ub

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"

Where does /hpg/ get their music from? I'm having a hard time finding torrents with a decent amount of seeders. For instance, I was a looking for the latest album of Leviathan but the only torrent I could find had a single seeder?
Should I buy a good goy and subscribe to a streaming service like Tidal or Spotify?

Usenet.

I use my brothers paid for spotify. The quality is very good and the selection seems good to me. I don't search for a lot of modern music though so I'm not too sure about it in that sense.

HD 599 reviews when?

who cares? just save up and buy the 600 or 650

I do, faggot.

Got these as a gift

Did I do good?

ugly bitch

>Asking "Hey guys, what's your opinion on x?" is frowned upon.

Kill yourself.

Wireless, headsets are allowed here.

As a gift, definitely.

Where did anyone say that they aren't? Just don't expect to be taken seriously.

Senpais, this DAC/Headphone amp is decently priced on amazon.co.uk. Is it any good?

AKG AND BEYERDYNAMIC ABSOLUTELY BTFO
no chance of recovery!
Sennheiser has won!

Get an e10k m8. Don't fall for the memes.

With the 600's yeah. Not with that fucking thing.

What do they sound like?

I don't own them but dt770's look better for a start.

That was easy.

Reality.

So the HD600 sound like a dream?

But the 599 cost about the same as the 600

wat. I assumed they were similar those other cheap ones with the cream look

Nope, the 599 cost 250$

No. They sound WOKE f.a.m

Interdasting. I'll look forward to peoples opinions on them.

Uh oh, you're upset! Couldn't start this thread early without waiting for the bump limit, like last time? Were you in class?

He was explained the difference, he's being disingenuous.

Are there noise-cancellers that don't sound like shit? I borrowed a pair of Bose QC15s for a 20+ hr flight, and the noise-cancelling saved my sanity, but the sound quality was typical Bose shit. Has anyone here tried the Parrot Zik or Senn Momentums?

what.cd, pic related

> Should I buy a good goy and subscribe to a streaming service like Tidal or Spotify?
No. Renting music is retarded, and you'll lose it all because those services are going bankrupt "I'll sell at a loss but make it up in volume!" style.

Pirate and treat yourself to nice physical releases from time to time.

>WOKE f.a.m
what

nwavguy.blogspot.com/2011/02/nuforce-udac-2-drama.html
Not the same model, but I don't really trust NuForce in general.

Looks like a collaboration between Sennheiser and Noctua

Is that the new AKG headphones?

>e10k
I have the AKG K550, should be driven well enough by the e10k?

If anyone wants some high bitrate music:

High Resolution Collection (96khz 48khz 24bit hi-res hi res) nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=849500

This should be removed from the OP. I'm neutral on the whole wireless thing but the OP should only contain info links like a proper general.

> only mentions wireless and not headsets even thought there's the same wording for both

gee, I wonder why

Yikes, just skimmed through that article, basically cheap Chinese crap with memey slogans to market it.

Sennheiser revamped the 400 series last year
Now this year they revamp the 500 series

Will they revamp the 600 series? I wanted to buy the 600s, but if there's a revamp next year... on the other hand I really don't want to wait a year

Honk honk

Just cleaned my ears with hydrogen peroxide. This shit works.

Because nobody really talks about headsets?

Anyway, lets try to keep the thread like a proper general, shall we?

They probably won't. The HD600 (which is a revamped HD580) has seen HD5x5, HD5x8 and HD5x9.

We're trying to keep the shitposting to a minimum. If you want to shitpost I hope you go to a different thread.

Woke as in awake.

Nevermind.

>Interdasting
Not really. When the 598 were released they cost 250$ too. I guess their price is high just because they're new. What I'm hoping for is that the HD600 drop a little in price now that these have been released

>We're

That clearly isn't helping with the shitposting.

Nothing can stop a jackass from trying to pick a fight every time the full OP is presented.

Oh I thought it was an acronym

For years /hpg/ has only contained info links in the OP. That is the correct way to do a general.

That looks sick! I'll start preparing for the interview right now.

>Asking "Hey guys, what's your opinion on x?" is frowned upon.
>Wireless is frowned upon.
>Headset requests are frowned upon.

You're still a shitposter.

Spotify and my own collection which comes from CDs I've ripped, purchases I've made from artists' own sites/Bandcamp etc, random web downloads and from what.cd and Nyaa, rarely rutracker. Mostly just Spotify.

Whoever is designing the aesthetics of these things need to be put down.

While I know you're lying and other current generals are similar, I hope you like my proposal, it has only links:

How do I access what.cd. Share the secrets pls

>While I know you're lying

Been here since the beginning. I bet you don't even know who's ComfyGrados, faggot.

>participation advice
No. If you're gonna write why wireless / headsets are frowned upon, it needs to have a detailed explanation as to why.

>For years /hpg/ has only contained info links in the OP
Your lies are pathetic.

Dumb newfags.

Back to r3ddit.

I'm looking for advice to purchase some headphones

Whatever you say, belgiumposter.

> I can't accept that people will disagree with me
That's exactly why it's in the OP, it's a trigger warning for oversensitive faggots like you.

Well you failed, faggot.

I'm trying to make this thread a proper general.

>What I don't like isn't proper

Sure is NEWFAG in here.

So you're saying you're triggered either way? May I suggest the website with blue arrows? It's made especially for you.

I was never triggered. I suggest you newfags go back to /r/headphones.

Nah, makes you look like a gamer. Looking for some casual on-ear ones

and be creative in insults, no u is boring

kek that image

I wonder if that was shortly before we got the first one, "Opinion on X" because we had constant threads full of shitposting over the big 3. Hmmmm. . .
I wonder if that was shortly after the beginning of the existence of /hpg/. Hmm. . .

Missed the days when /hpg/ used to be good, especially the fap worthy OP material.

Now it's /r/headphones 2.0.

There is nothing 'gamer' about the dt770's at all. They look like they're made for music and they look slightly retro but in a good, simple way. Beats look like pure shit in comparison.

I disagree. Beats looks casual and clean. Those looks like they are built for someone sitting by a PC or mixer table

Eh, I guess they're a little big for walking around with.

Beats still look shit though. Horrible shiny, shit plastic.

uncomfortable and squeaky too

How are Xiaomi's headphones?

Piston 3's are the only decent iem or headphone.

KZ ed9's are better than the piston 3's. Great build quality but don't bother with them.

am i the only one or does the k512 sound waaaay better than the k92?
it sounds like a cheap bluetooth speaker
should i try using it with a headphone amp?

I meant these

I wouldn't bother unless they're cheap.

What are the go to IEMs for $/€50-75?

>Varg approved
I see what you did there.

E10

Have friends in VERY high places.

/r/ing some headphone purchase advise

>Budget: flexable, but wouldn't like to spend more than $600.

>Location: Canuckville

>Source: Currently just using onboard sound. Will upgrade later.

>Perfered type of headphone: Full size

>Open or closed: Open, but I don't really mind either.

>Comfort Level: MUST be comfy

>Past headphones: gaymen shit until I got my first (and current) pair of decent headphones (Sennheiser HD 280 pro).

Funnily I'm the guy who claimed to use his brothers spotify premium.

It's brilliant but I'd love a consistent way to download flac files etc.

Hd600 and the e10k.

Don't think. Just fucking buy. It's end game tier stuff lad.

Forgot to mention the initial clamp force.
>Comfort Level: MUST be comfy
Might want to include a suggestion to stretch it over some books or something next time.

Why is Logan in this pic?

The only thing that concerns me is listening to EDM. How are they?

>EDM
Might want to look at the 650 rather than the 600.

I actually saw someone on head-fi say he preferes 600 over 650 because the mid bass bump on the 650 drowns the sub bass

what are the best in ear buds in terms of sound quality and comfort?
