Hey, came here looking for IEM advice.
>Budget Location UK >Source Android phone >Type of headphone IEM >Open or closed n/a >Comfort level Comfy, wouldn’t want uncomfortable IEMs >Sound signature Honestly not sure, maybe V-shaped?

Not exactly headphone, but... Looking for a mixer (wrong term?) that will take two audio inputs and properly blend them to a single output device. Inputs are a cable box and a PC, each with RCA and optical outputs. The output device will probably end up being a set of Sennheiser RS 165 RF wireless headphones (unless there are good reasons to stay away from them).

Gavin Carter
That's the right term. In general you won't want to use the optical as your mixer will then need to have onboard DAs. The Mackie Mix5 is what you want, it has unbalanced inputs so you just go RCA to 1/4" TS for each channel. It's not great audio quality but nothing is for what you want to do (unless you are ready to spend muchomaspesos).
I prefer to go by names and numbers than recognising headphones by sight - they all look the same.

I double dare you motherfuckers to find a better classical game OST, Jeremy Soules work on this far outshines anything else, even his Dragonborn title song is outpaced by any track on here:

You can get a DIY o2 for around that price and a CMOY is only like 5 more. You can also get DIY Classic 47 Amps of ebay/aliexpress for under $10 USD.
I'm pretty sure SMSL makes a fairly cheap headphone amp as well.
Schiit Fulla [not the second model] can be found for cheap too as theyre being cleared out.
Jace Carter
Grado SR60 if you want open and a bit harsh. Sennheiser HD 201 are better than most at the price.
Those are the only ones I've tried at the price that I actually like.

>Nuforce me800m Kinda super bassy. The alternative offerings generally are bass heavy anyway, but maybe something less bass heavy to start with. What price can you find the ATH-IM50 for?
What do you want from your bluetooth IEM? There are some good ones and not so good ones.
Holy shit user, there's a bunch of really nice Amp kits on ebay! And they seem dead-simple to build.
Do you have any recommendations for which one of the kits to go for? I'd really like to try to build one myself.
Has anyone here built their own amp from a kit?
I'd really like a recommendation for which kit is the best.
Joshua Foster
>ATH-IM50 I can find exactly 1 available, imported from Japan through Amazon for £67. Are they worth that much?
£30, look pretty good Can't find these anywhere selling to the UK.
Austin Harris
Classic 47, the one I mentioned in my original reply is really quite good. Next step from that would be a DIY 02.
Both need shielding from EMI though. A grounded sheet of sandwich foil fixes it.
Eli Wilson
>DIY 02. OK, I'll look this one up next.
Do any of them come with 1/4" plugs for headphone input btw?
Landon Jones
Not sure, but you can just get a 1/4" socket from your local electronics parts store or ebay and use that instead
DIY O2 doesnt come with a case or knob btw
Robert Thomas
Ok. So tell me, whenever you aren't in your studio the equipment isn't always exactly what you want, and if you go in open to that then you can usually find something beautiful. Even if it's just a pair of SM57s in the right place. It's never exactly the "right gear" for the job but with good talent that's not really a limitation.
So all this butthurt about "the only good headphones" is so much wasted energy. If people only knew how much terrible shit we sometimes have to deal with they'd be more patient with their own gear.
Eric Clapton's Unplugged album is fantastic. Even if you don't like his music, or how it was "mastered" it's a fantastic album. A good system will revel space and intimacy that you can't hear on a crappy car system, but it's not like the music disappears on a crappy car system. The groove is still there. FUCK go listen to some Zydeco and tell me how important your headphones are.
Benjamin Morris
The O2 is really really good. Make the funds happen. Millett's Butte is a good opamp headphone amp but it's not much cheaper (and don't skimp on the caps).
Lincoln Jenkins
I just got a thinkpad what music player should I put on it? Is there any way to transfer music to an ipod besides itunes?
Levi King
Nobody argues that point though. /hpg/ is summed down to audiophile consumerism. Most people arguing the dumb shit like 'AKG vs SNAPHEISER REEE' are purely shitposters, and people who argue between headphones are just legitimately trying to help people get the best value for their money. [or confirm their biases, which is another story all together]
Don't forget some people have a lower tolerance for bad/unsatisfactory audio. I'm fine with using cheapo $50 dollar headphones for a brief time, but then there are people who won't accept anything below Stax or some shit.
also >Ok. So tell me, You didn't actually ask a question

Joseph Ward
the h'white tascam th-02
Adam Martinez
There wasn't a question, I guess I thought I was going to get to one based on an equipment lowest common denominator but I never did.
I like my IEMs, they are good. I like my Beyer 250s and 990s, they are different. I work on Event 2020s, JBL cinema three ways, and Genelecs. They are all different and none are really more true than the other, just different.
Not saying there isn't good advice, I just see a lot of shitposting (but that's not unique to Sup Forums, it annoys me just as much on /k/).
My point to people who are stressing about some audio decision is that in general you aren't going to get the right thing the first time, and it takes experience with a lot of gear to have a sense of what works for you and what doesn't so just try a bunch of stuff and decide what you like. Probably should have lead with that.
Owen Ortiz
Nothing that I know of has surpassed it. Foobar is so open source and well supported by community for plugins and shit.
Might want to ask Sup Forums maybe?

ZEOS GET OUT REEEEEEEEEEE
but honestly do you really want to spend more than 22 on pads for a headphone that costs less than that? The clamp is hard enough on them that you probably dont want to increase it by getting thicker HM5's like the angled variants, though it could aid if youre using them for portable use and need isolation.
Pleathers work best if you want to keep their low end. Hybrids would probably do well too, though wont isolate as much.
I wouldn't recommend velours on closed cans for most cases.
Jose Miller
Not a question about headphones specifically, but about a DAC/AMP for my new Massdrop AKG K7XXs >Budget 100 ish >Location USA >Source I've been using a Fiio E10K when I'm at my desk, and it drives these headphones comfortably, but it's on it's last legs. When I move the volume, it only plays out of my right ear until I put pressure on the volume knob and it randomly works again :( But any slight movement of the cable fucks it up again. >Type of headphone AKG K7XX for most of everything, but I use some RHA MA750s when I play my drumset, so I would hope that the new DAC/AMP wouldn't produce a hiss or something with my RHAs since they are so easy to drive.
Is there anything that would be a quality of life improvement from the Fiio E10K at around the 100ish mark? The onboard sound of my computer has an audible hiss, so I need both a DAC and an AMP, hopefully in one. I know that something like an AudioEngineD1 or Schiit Stack would be ideal, but I'm tied a bit for cash.
Brandon Diaz
Schiit Fulla. Uses same DAC as in the stacks. Well worth the money and it'd easily beat an E10k in both sound and power.

random asf, he's just saying that there are different tiers and levels of enjoyment, when you're eating in michelin starred restaurants you can also enjoy the shack around the corner, but having everyone condone the shack over the starred chefs is just shitposting for the masses aka what's best for the majority is the best for the individual
Benjamin Perez
Should probably clarify Fulla 2, not the original Fulla.
Jaxon Perez
looks like the Fulla 2 is back-ordered and I was kinda hoping to get it as soon as I could. Looks like the OG fulla is 60 fries on Amazon. Is it worth the wait to get the 2?
Only headphones I could feasibly see myself getting after these AKGS, if any, would be like some Senny HD650s or 600s. Probably not though. Would either Fulla run those? This may sound dumb, sorry.
