Hi! user from Sup Forums here. Today I will be reviewing shitposts on /hpg/. This post is well-written, sincere and quite good sounding, although it could be a little bit more detailed. I hope you all get a chance to read this post soon.

Where I can find a dual jack for this one? I really want to turn on the extreme audio cable.
Liam Torres
A dual jack? What? It's an RCA to 3.5 mono cable
Carter Adams
Better and more modern than boses qc35
Grayson Ward
You missed the first post.
Benjamin Young
I mean there is a dual version so I could connect them to this one?
If already i need cox one with dual RCA
Juan Lee
pls help me, im lost
Joshua James
Please could you guys redirect me on this one?
Camden Howard
Oh, you want a dual RCA to 3.5 stereo
the one you have is just a single RCA to 3.5 mono
Jack Morgan
You're lost?? Look at that 3.5mm connector. It's mono. Not stereo bro. It's not gonna work unless you really wanted both supposedly RCAs to be both mono too.
The response is pretty poor on either without ANC/Bluetooth active. Digital operation activates the EQ which patches up major issues, but the EQ choice is still somewhat questionable, and they still aren't amazing. Could apply additional EQ of your own.
Which one is less bad in passive mode? Personally the Sony, I think, whereas I would say the Bose wins in active mode.
Leo Green
my akg k702 started emitting crackling noises on the left speaker at low frequencies (very noticable at 50Hz). the noises disappear at low and high volumes and vary with orientation. anything obvious i can try?
Jaxon Perez
I test it, and it actually worked, but only one side of the headphones can make sound. So where I can find the dual version?
I need two inouts, or whatever?
Zachary Richardson
I mean dual for this one

Also it is important to have a detachable capable. Bluetooth not required.
Someone already recommended m40x, but without elaborating.

Stop impersonating me.. That's what I was going to say almost tho
This is a pretty silly beginner thing to ask but I just got $100 for christmas and was looking around for some good headphones and settled on AKG 240s after hearing real good stuff about them, however I'm really new to the world of higher end headphones and still only listen to mp3s on Musicbee, so will I actually notice much of a change from my shitty apple earpods?
Andrew Hall
forgot to mention that I'd like a good pair for recording and mixing and general music production too so I'd like to know if they're very reliable for those things
Jacob Peterson
I'm looking for some IEM's with a mic for traveling, any recommendations? Would say around 75£ budget or something like that, doesnt really matter. My current headphones are AKG 712 pro.
Bentley Watson
follow up: removed the ear pads and there was a small hair stuck in the speaker.
still fairly new to Sup Forums so I'm not sure if the AKGs are a meme on here or not, just came over from Sup Forums but I'm well aware of how shitty beats and everything apple are just wanted some real advice since I don't really know shit
Julian Kelly
The older K240 600 Ohms are god tier. The newer 55 Ohm ones are boring memes. Just go with Sennheiser HD558 or something.
Gabriel Sullivan
Still doesn't say much about the sound isolation. And I certainly certainly don't have the place to buy from his pads or the HM5 pads and they make it cost more.
Daniel Sullivan
>but I'm well aware of how shitty beats and everything apple are so you don't know, just repeating some bullshit which you read on the internet. kind of what Sup Forums does most of the time.

buying from a physical store there are unknown brands, known brands but very overpriced(ATH-AD500X for 225 euro LUL that should give u an idea) and the hd 559 for 140 euro which is pretty much not overpriced. Should I get it? gonna be my first pair of headphones.
Anyone compare these to ATH-M50x or similar headphones?
Noah Richardson
I want an on ear headphone. Thoughts on the Denon HiFi AH-MM300? It's below €100 now.
Noah Gonzalez

Noah Evans
Hey, newbie when it comes to audio, I know a little bit, but not enough to say I ordered the right thing. The loving gf got me a pair of DT 880 Pro's 250 ohms.
I could tell, as she also told me, that I would need an amp for these.
So I thought my best option was a well praised budget DAC/amp.
I also got a nice toslink to output from my motherboard. Will this be enough?
Lucas Robinson
ATH-M50X or hd 559 idk what im looking for first pair of headphones just something good all around have some cakeu
Landon Scott
Beats and apple aren't 'shit' but they're overpriced and shit compared to actual top headphones.
James Harris
It will be enough, the e10k is more than enough for my hd600's. Don't fall for the memes when it comes to amps. Keep it simple lad.
Adam Walker
Where were you when Hifiman shills were BTFO and silenced once and for all?
Carter Garcia
I thought for headphones, what you said, was pretty much the guide line. Ordered the amp and cable for $72.
Was utilizing my Optical out a good idea or does it not really matter?

Before I even answer that is your headphone jack 3.5mm? will it even fit that amp?
Xavier Kelly

Austin Richardson
3.5 with a screw on 1/4". I'm good on that side.
Chase Reed
my gf asked Sup Forums for help. Also the comfort is delicious, so I'm already super happy with it. Already a massive upgrade from the SR850's I was using.
Juan Evans
Yeah. everything should be fine then. If you feel you can't hear a difference or there's a problem with the amp/setup then I'm assuming you can return it hassle free with amazon.
Easton Collins
That was the plan, I didn't think headphones need anything crazy for noticeable difference via an amp/dac, enough so I could find a combo that had optic out.
If you know any upgrades under $150 that fit my criteria in case this doesn't work out?
I looked at doing a Schiit set up with the standalone boxes, but I was fairly certain my ears are far from golden enough to hear the difference to justify the $200 set up.
Nathaniel King
990 is literally just a shit 880
Carter Foster
>JUST BOUGHT SHURE SE215
THOUGHTS?
Hunter Myers
The whole replaceable cable for in ear headphones looks like it's worth its weight in gold.
Noah Smith
600 ohm version is godlike when driven properly, shits all over 880.
Austin Hill
Some will say otherwise here but I previously owned the o2 amp+odac combo. Many people look between that and the schit stack as an upgrade or a first good amp setup after buying good headphones. After borrowing my friends fiio e10k I realized that both amps sound exactly the same with hd600's, k702's k712 and fidelio x2's.
Basically, I fell for a meme, the o2 combo is way more expensive than the e10k and it offered nothing besides a line out option that was loud/powefull enough to use plugged into my ps4 controller. Besides that, used direct with your computer they sound exactly the same. Unless your amp is clearly worse than the e10k (which I doubt) the you have nothing to worry about.
Julian Nguyen
Anyone's using ASUS Xonar Essence STX/STX II with low impedance headphones? Is it true that they make them sound like ass due to the high impedance output and that I need one of those chinese impedance increasing adapters from ebay?
Carter Sanders
Thanks
Isaac Rivera
Stupid newbie question. The headphoens with big pads, are you ears suppose to fit in the empty space and the pads go around the ear instead on the ear?
James Lewis
Hey /hpg/ I'm looking for a EDC DAC, I'm planning on buying pic related. Are they any good?
Christopher Morales
best commercial active noise cancelling in-ears?
Elijah Sanchez
it depends if they're on ear or over ear
basically, if it's large enough to go over your ears, it's over here, if it's not, it's on ear
just get an e12 mont blanc unless you want it as a fashion accessory in which case oppo makes decent gear, though usually overpriced
Anthony Adams
as far as I know, bose are the kings of active noise cancelling
Samuel Brown
With Sony MDR-7506 or MDR-V6 they are full-sized headphones but if you treat them as on-ear pads you lose seal and no bass... Sony 7506/V6's go over your ear helix.
Samuel Thomas
Ordered these W30 few days ago...anybody got some input on these?

So far, I'm thinking about the Beyerdynamic DT-1350-80 headphones for $170
Just want it for mostly isolation and sound quality for train commutes and listening to while in the office, where the other people are sitting pretty close.
Also important is a nice sound quality to price ratio while trying to get something more durable in a higher price tier.
Thoughts or any other recommendations? Thanks

Hello! My current Headset (Plantronics Gamecom 380) has died, so i'm looking to get a headphone (not headset). I've been wanting to upgrade to good quality audio since a long time ago, but i had no reason to until right now.
>Budget: 50 ~ 80€ >Location: France >Source: Jack or USB 2.0 >Type: Full size! >Open or closed: I don't know the difference as in i've never tried listening from an open headphone and then from a closed. Not sure at all. >Comfort level: Good. So far my previous headset was not heavy and fitted my head quite nicely. I could move my head around without any problem as long as i wasn't doing it too fast, and it never hurted me >Sound signature: no idea! >Past headphones: Plantronics Gamescom 380. I liked pretty much everything about it except two thing: sound quality that didn't suits my needs, and the cable because i hate cables. Otherwise, the weight, size, shape and look were all very satisfying.
Speaking of cables, i was wondering if wireless headset were any good? Considering if i had one i would stand 90% of the time at less than 30cm from the emitter, and the 10% would be 3m away, would it be good for me to buy one? I absolutely hate the cables of headsets and if it means having a bit of sound latency, i don't really mind as long as it sounds good.
Thank you!
Carson Rogers
take this with of a grain of salt but i have ath-m50x and my sister has hd 558 and her headphones sound way better. ath-m50x are a meme in my opinion and i just bought 558s from amazon yesterday. the open back makes the sound way better but also then they are not noise isolating like ath-m50xs and also other people can hear what youre listening to
Andrew Sullivan
662 evo >Sound signature: no idea! preferred music or will you mainly use it for games/movies

alright since its mostly for home use ill go with open back then i can do with earbuds on road trips.

Is Sennheiser good? I was thinking of getting some ~$25 Sennheiser earbuds on Amazon, but I'm not sure if I'll really be getting anything better than what I'd get from some chinkshit from RadioShack.
I want something with good sound quality, because I feel like my headphones are preventing me from enjoying music. I literally barely like any of it.
Easton Davis
Who Team Fake Sennheiser here? They look and sound just as good for 1/3 of the price.
Kayden Gutierrez
Were my JBL s500 synchros worth it for 100 euros? Also enough of an improvement over JBL Bassline? Sound card is the gpu one (1080) and music is mostly Flac cuz im a retard with a lot of hdd
Jaxson James
Does it change anything when you use this type of cord? It cleans the sound from distortions?
Charles Reyes
>It cleans the sound from distortions? Only if you attach a bag of magical audiophile pebbles to it.
Jordan Cox
Fake sennheisers? Cant possibly sound as good knowing chinks
Jordan Phillips
M40x is probably more noise isolated than PHILIPS SHB8850NC/00?
