Are PLANAR MAGNETICS overrated? Currently on EQ'd porta pros
No
The opiniom on HE 400i is mostly good, check on amazon if they are still 250
I dunno man, I have a pair of the cheapest decent planars you can get (Fostex T50RP MKIII) and I prefer them overall any day of the week over the AKG K702 I had previously. The AKG were good headphones, and had some advantages, but I like the sound "character" of the Fostex better.
Down the road I'll probably pick up a higher end pair of planars.
why do you prefer them. And do they eq well

So how's the bass on these? Currently own the K712s
Check HyperX out, give him the pink ones if you really hate him
A slightly more v-shaped response, better extension into low bass, less fatiguing mids. All subjective stuff. I'm not saying the Fostex are better headphones than the AKG, but they're better suited to my tastes.
The headband system on the AKG is a little better and they were so light, comfy, and open that it was easy to forget you were wearing them once you got immersed in something.
The Fostex feel a little bulkier, and the adjustment system is a little more awkward. The stock pads weren't very comfortable for me so I replaced them with MrSpeakers Alpha Pads. The new pads actually improved the sound in my opinion, and made them extremely comfortable. I posted a long ass review on the pads on the MrSpeakers website so go read that if you're interested.
They are more isolated, so it can make verbally communicating with people in the room a little more difficult. I sometimes find myself sliding one cup off my ear to talk to my room mate or whatever. You don't forget you're wearing them the way I did with the AKG, but that's not really a bad thing.
I added a ModMic and they've been great for listening to music and playing vidya.
As to EQ'ing well, I haven't eq'd them. I had my AKG eq'd to reduce the mids a little bit and a slight boost to low bass, but these pretty much fit my preference without it.
My gf says she's getting me HD 598's for Christmas
did she do well, Sup Forums?
If you have a gaming pc card then buy the hd600, you dont need an amp, if you want you can buy a dac/amp, origen+ is my rec, the hd600 are both ultra confy and great sounding
Are they the closed back?
post yfw its the cs edition
Yes those are solid headphones for someone new to decent audio.
Give her a good fugging.
no the open back
Ive been shitting up these threads looking for someone who owns T50rp Mkiiis
How is the low end on them, and what pads are you using?
Modded at all?
And how bad do they leak?
Didn't scroll to see
But still how's leaking, and mods?
OriGen+ and fiio e17k
I mostly likely need dual output cable or cord for aux connections
You're welcome!
Your GF is pretty cool, is the pop colored or the special edition?
stop shitposting any day
NFB-11 took 3 days to ship, 5 days total to buy the thing
its ok
Why do people buy HiFiMans when their build quality is that of a toy at Toyrs R Us for like 200-400 dollars
Because the only thing that trully matters, if you're not a retard that somehow manages to drop heaphones on the ground, is the sound quality
you 2 m8 :^)
hd800 or k812?
HD 800
K812

neat, t1 it is then

Hey guys,
What you thinking about ATH-WS1100iS? have you ever listened to them?

Audioquest is still on it. How can this man sleep at night? For someone who managed to miss the last year's snake oil:
Is headphone burn in bullshit or not?
of course it's bullshit
If you're looking for bassy headphones just fill out a form already.
Watching you ask the exact same question with no replies every thread is getting cringy.
>If you're looking for bassy headphones just fill out a form already

Sorry, let me rephrase:
Just fill out a form already.
>Just fill out a form already

are you sure?
Bought these today for 45 euros, did i do good?
yes
Do you not read the OP of every thread you post in or just this one?
So you listened to them?
(you)
k fag
why do I never see
theheadphonelist.com
posted in these theads?
looks like it's a ten year old list, if not older
the fuck is wrong with that
Still seems fairly relevant
£20-30 budget.
What buy, Sup Forums?
This decent enough?
I checked like 8 pairs and all seemed to be horribly outdated
Because joker focuses on IEMs, while /hpg/ seems mostly interested in over-ear headphones.
He's probably the best IEM reviewer around, though.
heyyy, that's the list i discovered the audio technica m50x from. No regrets.
Although, I feel if I ever get new headphones from these m50s, it's going to have to be a price hike and a move into cans that require an amp and what not because these are by far the best for the dollar I've experienced.
you could get xpt100 & have an upgrade
What makes the Xpt100 better than the AT m50x?
Genuinely curious in the comparison as I own the m50x and have never listened to an xpt100.
are
>amazon.com
good for bass?
Is there something newer/better?
are you a nigger?
if not, consider xpt100/hm5
if you are, I don't know of any good very bass heavy headphones in that range
Wasn't that takstar discontinued a shitzillion years ago?

just get beats by dr dre for that authentic lower quality sound, bro
No still available on gearbest and the likes.
fidelio x2s all the way
Buy from Amazon Warehouse deals or a high rated ebay seller by the way, warehouse deals are really good, ebay is cheaper but not as easy to return if something does go wrong. There's one for 175 on ebay right now, can't be touched at that price

Slightly bassy with neutral mids and no treble peaks.
>Past headphones
DT990
Something like the DT990 but without the treble peaks.
Beyerdynamic, DT770, 880, or 990.
770's are canny, 880's are a meme and 990's aren't flat. But they are all great headies.
>But they are all great headies.
And they all stab your ear drums with treble
Do I need an amp for it?
no
nope
I just transitioned from Grado SR80's to 990's YOU DON'T KNOW TREBLE NIGGA. I KNO TREBLE.
Jesus, and I thought the AKGs were already treble heavy
The 990 pro's are actually kinda bass heavy, the mids are a bit recessed but the treble isn't sheer ear rape like unmoded Grado 60/80's are. I haven't listened to any AKG's in a while but my buddy has some k702's and if I recall correctly the 990's sound reminiscent of them.
I've owned both the 702s and the DT990s. The 702s are less sibilant, the 990s were unbearable
598 or 558?
The 598 are a lot cheaper. Are they worse?
how are the 990s?
i was trying to look for something that had some bass but everything else wasn't shit and considering 770 or m-100s
but i was hoping for open and started to notice the 990s
I know this is going to come off as a meme, but what are some good noise cancelling IEMs? Looking at Bose but not sure if there's something better for the pricepoint.
There was actually an anime girl wearing ATH-AD700s?
What refined taste.
I don't get it, how can the build quality of HiFimans be dogshit but the sound quality is considered top-notch?
Should the two not be mutually exclusive to some degree?
I love my 598s, super comfortable and they look pretty good until you wear them every single day all day long (you can almost forget you're even wearing them at times) and they fall apart on you.
What they really need to make is interactive graphs rather than resizing graphs with 10 overlapping lines so that you can't read them properly anymore.
mfw using quality headphones and a dac/amp for the first time
K7XX and fiio e10k are great. Thanks for the help last week /hpg/
Just bought these. How fucked am I?
ATH-M40x's
I have them, they're a very nice pair and the only thing I dislike about them is the poor height adjusters.
o neat. what would i need to power them though?
wish i could try the headphones i've been looking at ahead of time
Are the Beyerdynamics any good quality-wise?
This thin piece of plastic looks pretty weak in photos.
its metal
Ah. Well I'm defenitely considering these then. Thank you
did i just get memed?
>its ok
so you got memed? im thinking about the project Polaris amp.
you don't know what getting memed on is like
