I am want play game commend headphone
what a cute OP
Just got these status audio cb-1s if anyone wants to ask questions about it.
Are there any good black friday deals or do I need to wait closer to Friday?
Should I go full meme and get the HD800?
Maybe. Yes if you know what you are getting and it's what you want.
...
I need a cheap amplifier to start with the he400is im about to buy any suggestions?
Would something like the nobsound mini amp be sufficient for now?

Sony MDR V6, Senn HD-280, Grado SR-80, Foster T50rp. I find myself always going back to the V6.
Basically, I want V6s but better. My biggest gripe is the shallow soundstage.
For my money, am I better off getting a USB DAC/Amp to get more out of the V6, or are there any good contenders for like-the-V6-but-better?
just get a o2 combo and be done with amps forever (unless you for some reason decide to get earrape estat)
i am commend you buy headphone
tfw you wanna buy the HE-400is while they're on sale but you just bought Fidelio X2s and maybe want to get in on the HD6XX too if they reopen that
I like the X2's soundstage and bass but I find the treble unpleasantly harsh...
too expensive for me right now.
Since i cant really afford a great amp/dac for the HE400i, should i go with the alternative and buy the senn hd598?
Just wait until better headphones go on sale again like this?
I mean im coming from $20 IEMs and a logitech G930...

and i thought it wasn't possible to run a music store worse than beatport or amazon music. now my only option is to pay them again but they won't get a penny from me after that. the song wasn't even on what.cd(rippers), rutracker, spotify etc.
may as well get some portapros or ~$100 iems and a nice amp instead if you can only afford half the setup
better drink yourself into warm and fuzzy oblivion

Looking for some commuter iems with a bit of isolation that will be great for hiphop, indie, and rock. A friend recommended trinity atlas deltas, would these be good for $86? Their only downside is that they pushed their shipping back to late December.
Are there any headphones made in the US that are any good?
SE-215 sound good for your purposes and price range, they have excellent isolation and comfort with the Olive foam tips. Nice bassy sound signature
Yo what's the best headphones for $70

Name a better over ear closed cans for this price?
rtings.com
In all but isolation these cans look great.
Anybody have these? I'd like to hear about them from an audio snob's point of view, because I already know they'll be a huge step up from the $10 earbuds that I'm getting sick of using for work.
Fuck,forgot link, sorry
Sades Spirit Wolf 7.1 USB

On a side note, I have a touchscreen laptop and these new captchas make me rage
Look, don't buy 7.1 headphones. They surround sound in them is not real, it's virtual. For that price you can get headphones from Superlux, and they offer really good bang for your buck.
Thanks user, I'll give Superlux a try. When I do buy $20+ headphones, I usually stick to Sony, but I wanted to check out the 7.1 meme. If it's really just virtual effects, it's not worth a look.
I'm looking for a set of cans for guitar monitoring. Primarily through a mesa mk 4. What will sound the best? Budget is 100-300, preferably lower than 3.
smile.amazon.com
probably a dumb question, but will using these for my x2's affect the sound quality?
Just noticed she's wearing them upside down lol
What's so special about it?
What is a good cheap standalone DAC? Preferably
For what porpose?
Sanskrit
At least 3 of 4 are coming. I actually think the 4th one is shipped and they just fucked up tracking on it since it never changed from not yet shipped.
Do you not see that hat? How you gonna fit that over some cans bruh?
Sell me one plz
aw man, i only ordered one and it still says "not yet shipped"
what happened btw, the seller fucked up?
Yeah, the seller probably meant to enter $370, I was looking at some other AKG headphones and saw the price in related items and bought it instantly. Pretty sure by the time the picture uploaded here it was already sold out since there was only 6 when I bought my 4.
Nothing special exactly, they just sound really good and are pretty cheap for the sound you're getting. They sound like m40s but have a bit better bass. It's a new company and I got them for about 60 bucks if you use the code STATUS20 on their website for 20℅ off. Z review guy did a vid on them so I checked them out and I'm not disappointed. It's a pretty neutral response with good bass and not painful highs.
it said they're restocking on the 25th I think
The seller is obviously going to cancel the orders and fix the price before then. The seller can cancel any order right up until it ships I believe.
maybe. or maybe he'll honor it to keep the good seller score. if he wanted to cancel mine, he probably would have canceled yours also
lol no, he just didnt notice it
I'm sure he reviews the order and has to confirm it or some bullshit before its sent out
Nope
all right negative nancy
That was another user, but he's right, only reason I got it was because it was Fulfilled by Amazon which means the seller just ships all their stock to Amazon warehouses and Amazon automatically sends it out for them, it's probably how I'll actually be reselling them as individually selling them on eBay would be like at least $20 shipping each.
mine is fulfilled by Amazon also
yes, but it's on backorder, which means the seller is going to have to send more stock, and he'll notice that he listed them for $37.00 instead of $370.00, and he'll cancel the backorder orders.
When I watched the anime, I assumed it was under the hat lol
no he won't

Why does hpg shit on the 600s? They're great. Is this a shitty bait meme?
>one poster
/hpg/ has been sucking on the HD600s dick for a long time
Is anybody else confused by AKG's product line?
No, I'm not a retard
I only read negativity about it.
Neither am I, but their product line is.
Why do you need so many numbers? And multiple headphones in the same class?
It looks like a vintage model of these new sony.co.uk
More pictures would help id what they are like the connector or the L and R markings or anything with letters or numbers.
enjoy your ear infection
it started after 6xx anouncment
suddenly 650 are the allmightygodofheadphones and 600s suck
Anyone looking for budget over ear open headphones...grab the Phillips 9500 right the fuck now.
$50 over at Newegg. Even when I payed 65 It felt like a good deal.
HD598 SE for 120€ instead of 230.
I'm kicking myself for already having the 558s.
Why the fuck do Sennheiser headphones cost double here in EU (italy) if they're manufactured in gerrmany?
From google images. Why user??
I am really clumsy and I'm sure I would do some dumb shit like dropping a screw in the driver
but yeah you're right
well damn HD 558 is on sale at Argos from £159.99 down to £79.99
Which pair of headphones would be better for alt-rock, experimental & gaming?
Beyer DT990, Beyer T70P or Philip's X2?
Can anyone recommend any sub 500 USD IEM's with a relatively flat response and decent low-end extension? I'm using for casual listening as well as mixing / mastering.
I had the UE Triple Fi Pro 10's. I'm looking into the Westone W4R's or the UE 900's.
Any recommendations will be appreciated.

HyperX cloud 2, apple earbuds.
I need headphones that I can wear in public for music as well as for Skype calls at home. I have expensive speakers at home that I use for music. Just need to be comfy, something I can wear for hours with glasses on Skype. I have a shitty experience with uncomfortable headphones. Also, they cant look autistic. Thanks.
Ety ER-4SR/XR
None of them. X2 is the best among the headphones you mentioned.
Why no CIEM?
they're boring, dude. don't worry about it. save up for an x2
Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 On-ear wireless noise cancelling headphones? Are they any good?
What's the difference between the 9500 and 9500S versions?
Better question would be why CIEM?
So I got the brainwavz HM5 pads for my hifhimen 350 recommended by one of you guys but it's very hard to get the ring in this new pad any tips I really dont wanna break this ring any tips
I dont see how this ring will fit in anyway, its way too tight and the ring is quite flexible too did I get memed
Pics of what you're experiencing/suffering would help since this is a imageboard.

Good/better comfort, better isolation, bettur sound
No, go with the 400i
They're efficient anyway. Barely any harder to drive than 598's
Get a cheap amp/DAC combo like a SMSL M3/Fiio E10k/Micca Origen
all good options, and less than $100 USD
if not you can pick up a DIY o2 for 50 USD and use your onboard DAC, and save up for something more decent.
>Good/better comfort
Subjective, I prefer small form factor universal fit in-ears over acrylic molds in my ear. Inverse fit in-ears such as Shures with their generally small external body and olive tips are very comfortable and fit most people. I personally like canalphones too but those are really a hit or miss, some can't stand them.
>better isolation
Best isolation is provided by canalphones like Etymotics which are universal fit and thanks to the hollow acrylic mold, which is usually the material CIEMs are made out of, their isolation isn't necessarily too good even compared to better isolating universal fits(like Shures). Deeper fit, solid construction and different plastics help but not all CIEMs offer this.
>bettur sound
Very subjective. CIEMs are all over the place, most of them are just blind purchases as measurements are rare and you can't test them out. Neutrality is not what they offer.
Better in every way.
Dropping a screw in the driver wouldn't even hurt the diaphragm unless it goes pointy bit first
X2 is the best headphone out of them followed by 990's
You'd be better off getting something more neutral though.
Sit at your desk and just finger the fuck outta the pad flaps all day
Also, you can buy metal rings off hifiman's site for 10 USD if you ultimately break one
No real biggie.
cop or not?
