First for SZ2000 goodness
Where's the boi that needed help with M40X's as a gift? I mentioned the DT250 pads before the thread went RIP.
I know this might not be the place to ask but could anyone recommend me some active speakers? Or maybe passive? I dont really want to buy a DAC but if the sound quality is alot better on passive speakers i guess i would. My budget is $200
Is this amp/dac combo any good? How does it compare to Schiit's Fulla2?
Oh and id be using them for Gaming / Movies / Music
post your audio setup
Mackie CR4's
What headphones is this cute girl using
not sure but she uses it with a CD player. lol
don't laugh at the poor country girl
MP3 player? Magic Points from a game?
Thanks for the suggestion. Would these sound better than usb speakers around the same price?
What do you guys think about this headset? does anyone here own it, if so, how are you enjoying it?
amazon.com
it's absolutely epic
Actually the gayest cancer shit I have ever fucking seen kys you stupid fucker before the rest of thus place catches your extreme fucking autism.
I can't make up my mind to either get a Fischer Audio-003 clone
amazon.com
only $66 which is a fucking steal
or get the AKG 612 for $130
my gut tells me go for the Spadger since it'll be the safer bet.
but listening to this video by Zeos has me wowed, the vocals are so fucking clear, and the bass is tight.
Who are some good audiophile reviewer youtubers?
dat review...
>Comparing them to the Beyerdynamic DT 770 80ohm that I own, they sound extremely similar, both of them being open back headphones.
metal571
does massdrop email and tell you when a drop will be available ahead of time so you can prepare? if i miss the HD 6XXs when/if they come back i'll fucking seppuku
K612 imo is AKG's best midrange headphone
Go for it unless you can find a used HD600/580 for cheap.
All have flaws, or are pretty shit.
Zeos ONLY for build/comfort/other misc shit
Metal571 for sound.
Ignore tyll and just check his measurements.
6XX will probably have an advanced email to build hype
otherwise they just email you when the drop starts
Are HD 650s worth the additional cost over the 600s?
>tfw you hear ringing in your ears after listening, but have to play at a decent volume to get good sound out of headphones
And now for the slow decline of audible sounds
looking to switch from a pair of rha750s to closed back,thinking of m50x but not sure budget is 150$ (little more or less), any suggestions?
Depends on your preference. In my opinion, no. I like the 600's better for their more throaty forward upper mids, and less recessed highs.
Either way, the differences are minimal, and an EQ can replicate the other. Just get whatever is cheaper and EQ. Chances are unless you compare them you won't really care.
Go for 770's if you want V-shape. M50x are just worse all around other than portability, and slightly more 'flatness' in the midrange.
>K612
Like the K601 before it, this is AKG's most neutral reference headphone. Arguably their best headphone. Fairly insensitive, much more so than the umpteenth rebrand of the FA-003.
>safe
Other that the price delta, I seem to be missing out on the "risk".
Do you people really pay attention to youtube reviewers?
I thought that was just some sort of running joke.
well im not looking for specifically v shape,but something a little more colored than just flat,specifically for industrial,metal would m50x be bad?
DT 770's are not as V shaped as people do suggest.
Sure when compared to Sup Forums's favorites like hd600, hd558, m40x k701 and what not they are V shaped, but in the spectrum of normal headphones these could go for "A little more colored than flat".

668B (Current) - Perfect
Samson SR950 - Almost NigBass tier but sounded great overall
681 - Bright, Clean bass though almost too light
JVC-HAFX40 - TOO FUCKING BRIGHT, Bass was good, mids too recessed
VE Monk+ (2 thin foams) - mids are great, treble is a bit peaky but fine, wish the bass wasn't as rolled off and lacks sub bass
Tennmak Pro
hifi heaven is my favorite. metal 571 is good too. Zeos is fun but he isn't a good reviewer. Tyll is awkward and makes me feel like I'm a date who hes autistically showing his headphones to
Look into SoundMagic E10. They are warm/bassy
>$400 headphones
>$250+ dac/amp
>this is just entry level stuff
why this shit gotta be so expensive, damn
Whoever says that just pisses money out their ass
I usually recommend the k612 for people who are after a rather neutral sounding headphone, given that they have an amp that puts out enough power. As said, they are rather insensitive, and I'd suggest driving them with an amp like the E09K or one that has a similar power output.
>the vocals are so fucking clear, and the bass is tight
I usually tell people to take those sound demos with a grain of salt, but yea, the k612 has a nice midrange and tight bass (this is basically the brand's sound signature)
They look great and reviews seem to be what I'm looking for, thanks
What's the difference between these and E30's?
...
Best budget headphones coming through.
Stupid goyim will pay shekels for anything.
To be real though it's probably because this sort of stuff requires a lot of R&D to get to the autistic levels of accuracy in high end headphones.
It has a sexy design.
I was ordering this but the HD 598 was at the same price.
Maybe later.
598s for $70 where?
Sorry, in Mexico were at the same price.
Around $118
Good deal, user. They were $200 here in Canada, so I settled for $60 9500S' instead.
>What's the difference between these and E30's?
Can't tell you, never tried them
Ikr? A couple of times 598s were $85.00 USD.
Sadly I was broke back then, check Amazon Mexico around Sept or Dec Amazon usually drop prices in those months.
>>this is just entry level stuff
People who say that are just being elitist.
Yeah, i would say it's mid-range
OP from
, what's the difference between Soundmagic E10 and E30?
Is there anything like AKG K7XX's in terms of comfort that are closed?
I'd like to use them in public since I'm loving my current K7XX's
I ordered a pair of Jupiters from ALO Audio's B-stock. I'm rather excited, as I've never had a pair of balanced armature IEMs before.
Any fans of BA headphones here?
Imaging is more important than soundstage.
Yea, but saying soundstage makes me feel smart.
poor britfag here, any good over ear headphones for around £50/$60 or less?
they're the SAME thing
At that price youre probably better off just buying IEMs.
The only real 'good' over ears your looking at is Superlux 662 EVO, ISK HP2010/2011 [open and closed respectively], or other various chinese knockoffs.
So they're both the perception of positional accuracy across 3 axes? That's what I've always understood soundstage to be.
I'll probably get the 662. Any recommendations for a microphone? I'm looking for something around $35
Are these any good
Anyone here have any experience with Logitech G430? i'm looking for a headset
Reminder to never recommend K550, K551, K553, K545 etc.
But if you are still there and want a warm sounding closed back headphone check out the NVX XPT100. Beyerdynamic DT770 would do what the K5xx-series headphones try to: a V-shape but thanks to the much better pads the DT770 don't usually leak and actually have bass.
what is a good pair of ~$300 open headphones?
Also, are schiit amps any good?
check op

you didn't check OP
check the OP
I did and it was not helpful
you are not helpful
great thread
Headsets suck buy SHP9500 with a vmoda boompro or m40x if you want closed
Plenty, my blind recommendation is HD 600.
And Schiit's lower priced gear tends to be excellent.
>my blind recommendation is HD 600.
thanks! I didn't want a 'tailored' recommendation. I just wanted to see what was considered decent

>being this mad
haha le epic trole 9gag army xD
so whats your favorite headphone and why
Christ.
Go fulla2.
I'm ordering HD600 soon.
HD650 are unappealing to me. They're colored AF, as per every review I've seen, particularly those comparing both.
>DT990 Pro
>DT770 Pro
>Fostex HP-A3
Now what?
Difference is really quite small to the HD 600 but the HD 650 is a bit more colored.
How would a DAC/amp work if I have something like a BoomPro for the mic? Would I have to plug the headphone on it's own on it, and then try to route the mic cable to my onboard input? Is there any alternative where I can use both? How is the Scarlett as a DAC? I've read that it's not great as an amp, but that doesn't really bother me. All I want is a single thing to plug in both the headphones and mic that also serves as a DAC.
I pulled the trigger on the SR-80e, reviews online from both users and review sites are glowing with the only complaint being that they're somewhat uncomfortable and that the sound isn't very delicate.
I like that they're actually properly made in America and not China. Hopefully they'll be here in a week or two.
Why do earphones sound so fucking bad holy shit
Trying to get EQ APO to work.
It's not.
Running win10 with onboard audio driver.
People say to enable "Enhancements" but I got nothing like that in my audio settings.
Please help.
No bass, sometimes nasty levels of distortion some of which can get audible, often poor bandwidth and extremely colored response. They aren't suited for full band audio listening but for things like calls they are fine.
What type of microphone?
>Where's the boi that needed help with M40X's as a gift?
I'm here. Thanks for your suggestion, but I decided I'll go with the sheepskin pads: they give a higher quality feel because, again, being a gift I'm leaning more towards the build quality.
Argons? Yes and no. Sub-bass isn't too amazing, but everything else is really quite detailed. They really make up the sub bass by having great sound-stage and fucking phenomenal imaging. For $250 theyre pretty decent.
If you want better sub-bass check DT770's. Not as smooth sounding, and highs can be quite sibilant if you're sensitive. If you've got more than $250, check the Fostex THX00's. Improvement over the 770's all around, other than isolation.
>enough information
>$300, open
yeah sure
About to buy this, what am I in for?
Think I'm gonna buy these.
Good idea, yes?
Are you gonna listen to Englishman in New York with those?
One ear piece going out in 6 months.
No because I prefer classical music.
I love my AirPods.
Also look at the AKG K550/553, Brainwavz HM5, and Soundmagic HP-150 in that price range.
Though the ones you chose would be more portable, the ones I listed however would be more comfortable.
Cheers, I will do.
