The fact that you keep using lewd pictures as the OP is proof that audiophiles are degenerates.

How do I replace hd600 pads?

wtf my boss just came over to my desk and told me I'm fired

>hd600
pull them off, they're bonded to a plastic ring which clips into a channel. you'll have to use some force but you can look it up on youtube or something.

Good job

...

You're just joking, but if that happened, they don't value you in the first place.
My boss sees actual porn in my screen and doesn't give a fuck. I'm actually valuable to the company.

love my he-300

Galaxy S5, probably getting a new phone within the next months (looking at the Moto G5)
>Type of headphone
IEM
>Comfort level
I will be wearing them at least 2 hours daily, so comfort is important to me
>Sound signature
I really don't know too much about this, but I guess I like a natural, true-to-original sound. Definitely not a fan of excessively bassy ones.
>Past headphones
My previous IEM was Teufel Aureol Fidelity. I liked them for a long time, but after I got my DT770 Pro I realised I need a step up in my IEMs, sound-quality wise. They were also not the most comfortable since they'd easily fall out.

>Additional info:
I'll be wearing these IEMs on the bus/train on my commute.
I'd like a big soundstage, but I have no idea whether that's possible in this price range.
I bookmarked the MEE Pinnacle P1 because they seem like a fair deal. I didn't find out whether they'd be underpowered on my phone though. Does anyone know whether they would suffice my wishes?


I hope that's enough information to help me, I appreciate and thank anyone putting effort in for me.

You mean anime fags are degenerates (and probably pedophiles)

Se215 are good, I like my pair. They have pronounced low end, but not any more than your 770's did. Main thing with them is great noise isolation, I wear them on my motorcycles and can still hear my music without effort so they're good for bus/ train ride I'm sure. I haven't tried the 315, but they're closer to your price range and I've heard more neutral

Edgy

Anime is shit

>tfw when anime haters gets me wet(hard)

ok but for real, /h/ exists for a clear purpose, and this board is blue. You've already had the op image deleted once. Are we just gonna keep doing this?

What is the second best headphone ever made behind the HD600?

>once
summerfags should be banned

And reddit too

Wanna put hm5 pads on though, where do I get the ring?

Why does it seem like everyone in these threads hates bass?

Checked

HD800S

Are these good?

>No no, don't hide detail from me! Begone bass!
Basically or they come up with some horseshit excuse like it makes them uncomfortable.

it's funny that you responded to this with an animated image of a child that you probably masturbate to.

Give template

I don't hate bass. I like equal servings of bass, mids and treble.

So how are these? (Superlux 662 Evo)

Everyone seems to dickride them once modded.

I have a zircon rock RAU0501, but i want buy a shure se215, It will be a good upgrade, /hpg/?

Why do you think that?

Are these actually good?

everybody does it

They are absolutely excellent, especially for the money. The only downside is that they are fragile. At some point the cables will break, most likely at the remote.
If you keep them at your office and don't tangle the cables in your pocket or take them to gym you will enjoy them and they will probably last some time.

...

HD650.
This guy gets it.

Yes.

Would it be possible for an amplifier's power supply to be faulty and introduce ground loop hum and interference? I recently acquired a used amplifier and if I turn it up I can hear something that sounds like ground loop interference

Sup.

Of course you can get ground loops with an amp. Could also be other things, so test it first.

hey I bought a scarlett solo 2nd gen and every now and then the audio will just become distorted and stay that way until I unplug and then plug the device back in. have you ever had that problem?

Apple earbuds. Sony MDRZX100 ZX. I am an extreme casual when it comes to headphones.

Soundmagic E10

Sorry, user, never had that problem, what was happening not long ago with mine is that the sound would simply die and only return after disconnecting and reconnecting, however in this case it seems like the culprit was a faulty usb port on my laptop, haven't had the problem ever since i got a new pc.
Are you drivers correctly instaled? Is there any chance you have a bad usb cable connecting it?
Depending on the distortion it could be a problem on the interface itself.

Thanks for the response user

Yeah. Not one of my bosses has ever set limits to what sort of sites I could browse at work as long as I do my job. Hell I know one of them used to browse 4chin, too.

Here.

Ath m40x maybe? Are you sure you need closed? Because the Philips SHP9500 sounds like something you would really enjoy, but they're open

alright

uhm

Hahahahahaha holy shit
Who knew Linus was into such lewd stuff

I've only ever used closed, but I guess I should consider alternatives. These also would be impromptu speakers as well, I should have mentioned.

What's a good place to buy, too.

no

Amazon or wherever you want desu
You should definitely consider the shp9500, they have glowing reviews

>Super Eurobeat
very nice user

I came.

What is the public opinion here about "new Headphone burn in", real or myth? Or is it just your hearing adjusting to slightly different sound `?

Drivers can break in, the difference would be very subtle at best. It could easily be yourself adjusting to the sound too.

You say that every time.

Have you seen the bass THD on these things? The regular 800 is actually better if you aren't hyper sensitive to treble.

this is my first time commenting on you specifically...I guess other anons are cultured as well

If you want massive soundstage, the Zero Audio Duoza have it in spades if you can deal with the treble. And judging by the fact that you have Beyers, I think you'll be fine.

Prove that it's audible

>THD
Not related to the discussion but i have a question regarding THD and all that shit.
I currently have the RN3P which has mediocore audio and want to get high quality portable headphones like the MSR7 for example.
I fear that the RN3P will ruin the experience with high quality headphones and consider upgrading to Mi 6 which has excellent audio according to gsmarena or OP5 if they don't fuck it up like the OP4.
Now, while the Mi 6 has excellent audio the test revealed THD and crosstalk rise with the 3.5 jack plugged directly into the phone. They said it's not a big deal and should be fine, will it?

Oh shit, I just realized I said E10. Those are V-Shaped. I meant the E30...

No problem. I'll go with the E30 then.

What are the comfiest headphones under $500?
I have an X2 but it gets a bit hot and hurts my earlobe a bit when I'm wearing glasses.

HD598, also have glasses and can barely feel them.

Was that here on Sup Forums?

Nope it was on /DBT/

If you're on cable internet that's your most likely culprit right there. Unplug your internet and see if the ground loop is still there. wiredathome.com/holland-cisp-hr-cable-isolation-filter-with-spike-protection/ fixed my 60 Hz ground loop hum.

MDR-MA900

>second harmonic distortion anywhere
>especially in the bass
>a problem
"No."
It's second harmonic distortion. It won't be objectionable even if it's audible. People buy tube amps because they actually desire second harmonic distortion.

My HD650 sometimes feels like I'm wearing nothing at all.

Should I get cb-1s or m40xs?

ATH-msr7

The $100-$350 region for closed non-ANC headphones has few neutral options unfortunately.

looks bretty good

I'd rather avoid sony

seems pre comfy but hope it was more A E S T H E T I C. also pricey for a somewhat dated tech.

thanks for the suggestion anons. leaning towards the 598 but I'll do more research

I'm open to non neutral options as well, would be ok with recessed bass or other midcentric options.

Is this more aesthetic for you?

Snapheiser user pls go

I have the m40x, they have surpassed my expectations since they were released. I just wish they had a wider staging, but it's about as good as you'll get for closed phones under $100.

I won't go until you fuck off with your cracked headband pics.

So my sennheiser 202's finally had an ear gave out on me and I planned to get another pair, because they served me well and are great for price to quality.

So pissed to see that they are no longer sold anymore, and its really hard to search for new headphones like them, because the wireless meme is going hard and everything on the market is bluetooth bullshit.

Does anyone know of a good replacement thats the same kind of economy headphone option? I would prefer not to deal with the china quality roulette.

>I'd rather avoid sony
Why though?

CAL!

Creative Aurvana Live!'s on a fat price drop on Amazon for a whopping $48 for the last one in stock.

HD650 is not outdated tech at all. It used to cost $500. I picked mine up for $300 new a few months ago. It's worth every penny.

It's MSRP still is $500 m8. Of course you can buy things under MSRP.

not the most ethical company and mediocre experience with JP tech in the past

Too expensive, they kind of sound like shit.
