fuck your anime

thank you for using an anime image.

Underage anime girl pictures make you look like a creepy pedophile.

Maybe if you didnt drill holes in it it wouldnt have snapped

So does visiting fourchan gee, in case you didn't know, reddit.

Idol trash here.
What's your setup like, user?

Is this good for weeab purposes?

Should be better than chink-fi, but it's no HD600, user.

what amp can i use to power the fostex T50rp MkIII
?

What is the second best headphone manufacturer in the world behind Sennheiser and why is it definitely not Beyerdynamic?

Very good for the price. Would be nearly perfect with replaceable ear cushions.

Sennheiser is the 2nd, first is Beats

Beyerdynamic > Audio-Technica > AKG > Beats >>>>>>>>>>>> Xiaomi > Sennheiser.

thanks!

Friends don't let friends buy Beyersremorse.

You're welcome.
Btw, what you're looking for is damping factor 10+ and peak SPL at least 105+ dB ideally 110+.

Friendly reminder to ware a safety helmet and safety glasses when using Snapheiser(TM) products.

>ware
Your typical Earrapedynamic customer, ladies and gents.

>Beyersremorse will never achieve this level of neutrality
>Beyer shills will inaccurately respond to this by claiming a target curve that shows ER-4S to be neutral is not a good target curve

>i have no arguments so i need to engage on the typo he made
Typical Mudheiser(R) shill. Your brain is full of mud, get it cleaned out.

>using any headphone's FR as an ideal target curve
It doesn't get any more retarded than this, boys.

are the measurements on this site reliable?
reference-audio-analyzer.pro/en/report/hp.php

Based idol poster. Do you like rap or grime at all? I'd like to send you a couple songs to listen to with your 600's. Purely as a test, since assuming you won't like it. I'm the guy who's been begging you not to link me weeb vids.

Budget Friendly headphones (50-100$ US) that sound great and are COMFY , with good sound isolation?

They're only useful for 20 - 1000 Hz response and for comparing two headphones both measured by that site with one another. Their compensation curve is very strange and doesn't accurately represent 1000 Hz+ response.

>arbitrary target to achieve maximum mud exposure by Mudheiser(R)
>this elegant scientifically supported target curve by Harman

Fuck your inferior akg's or dt's lmao. Grow up.

>Sennshills telling others to grow up

It's funny because the bass target on that curve is totally subjective and the HD600's treble is perfectly on point with the Harman curve.

For pretty much the same price, should i get Sony MDR-7506 or Sennheiser HD 598 Cs (the closed ones)?

There, have some random.
youtube.com/watch?v=7MSYh3RN6TE
youtube.com/watch?v=JPp7kOj2Lyk
youtube.com/watch?v=3TSSAYMcPfY

The MDR-7506 hands down, it's a classic for a reason. The only Senns worth getting are the open ones.

The senn closed to get is HD380 Pro.
The HD598Cs are a scam leveraging the reputation of the HD598, which are completely unrelated headphones.
The suggested MDR-7506 is a good option for its price, just not as comfortable, isolating or durable. No removable cable.

nice taste

If you liked the DT770, look at the Custom Studio. They're DT770 80 Ohm's with a detachable 3.5mm and has adjustable bass ports.
Shit's whack.

>runa
A bit annoying, but within expectations so far.
As far as I can tell, maya a best.

Please create more anti-Sennheiser images so I can trigger Snapheiser cucks.

well, we'll see. i seem to be set on the yukino route

Are the Etymotic HF5 any good? Massdrop have them for 80 bucks.

I'm looking for a neutral IEM.

Shitty resampling, too. Beyerhiss tier.

Why do Sennheiser users hate treble?

I honestly don't get the shilling wars going on around here. Sennheiser are fine, but they're artificially overpriced and the mid-high tier (HD600/650) aren't exactly the second coming of christ, only a competitive ~200$ pair of headphones.
Beyer are fine as well, and usually can be gotten for a lot cheaper, and while the sound signature is not "neutral" (nevermind no one being able to fully agree on what that means), it's fine enough for most people.

Why can't people just enjoy what they have ?

(And I don't seem them mentioned, but I'll do, my K701 are good enough in that comparison, but they seems to have slightly changed when moving production from austria to china.)

they're 12yo so their ears are sensitive to treble

>K701 owners

>etymotic
>good
Pick one and only one.

So what do you recommend for a neutral IEM then?

I had etys before my K701, which pair takes precedence for selection here ? The oldest ? Most recent ? The best ? The shittiest ?

I don't recommend IEMs in general. Against my personal principles. Get a good over ear instead.

...

My absolute go to song is 'save the best for last' by vanessa williams. Mostly because of nostalgia, but it's such a pure sounding song to test.

>the last few threads have been ruined by incessant Beyer vs Sennheiser shitposting

How are Sony 7506s

Nice but ffs don't use nearest neighbour to do the resampling :X

>the last few threads were split between the anime shitposters and normal people
can we stick to one fuckin thread

...

>non anime thread was created 20 minutes before the anime thread
>anime thread has more replies

really makes you think...

I can't be fucked to not just use the scale tool.

/thread.

It's all shit posting though.

>innerfidelity
>tyll not being a senn fanboy

Please user.

And this one isn't?

My 600 has amazing treble, so I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. DT's have piercing treble problems. It;s very simple.

This thread is all shitposting, yes. That's what I was saying.

>DT's have piercing treble problems
Subjective.

remember

Fixed typos.

how do you guys manage your sound volume? put the player on max and change windows`s?

Public service announcement: Get professional help before you snap.

Sennheiser HD 4.30 or Razer Kraken Pro?
I am going to buy one of them tomorrow.

Amusingly, rtings gives HD600 a high score on treble.
Yet beyerrape people unironically defend beyer's ear-damaging treble.

Objective.

>there's some autist out there who's desperately creating edited anime images to try and back up his arguments about headphones

Oh lord why did I shop that snap pic onto nico

This isnt what I wanted, I never asked for this

>there's some autist out there posting low quality reaction images
Typical Beyersremorse customer.

Source.

>better resolution but worse imagestage is "higher quality"

Everything is subjective. Some things are obvious.

When a female singer hit's high notes, I prefer it not to hurt my ears. Maybe you like that, maybe that's your preference.

Ignore him, he hates everything on the right spectrum of any graph. Imagestage, good highs, that's all things Snapcucks have no need for. Soundstage seems to be useless to him, too.

...

MK5 is closer to Diffuse Field neutral like ER4SR

So how come Ety made their cheaper MK5 better than their more expensive HF5?
