Looking for cans that I can use unplugged and with cable when the battery dies out. I'd really appreciate not having to pause my music if I need to stretch or move around every now and then. Like I stated above, ANC is optional, but bluetooth is a must because muh iPhone.

I ask this because I am Shiva, destroyer of headphones. So far I've ruined 3 Sennheisers, 2 JVC, 2 Sony and a pair of Koss.

How do these Sennheiser HD414s compare to Koss PortaPro / KSC75s? Just wondering if hpg tried the rare 414s.
Best USB powered dac/amp for portable and desktop use?
What's the second best headphone behind the Beyerdynamic T1?
p-pls respond
The Beyerdynamic T1 doesn't even cost $50,000

DT 1770 Pro or k872 are the best options for high end closed back headphones if you're adamant about not using a dac/amp
>second best behind some beyer
False premise.
I get stressed out just looking at all that gear and cabling for minimal unnoticeable gains.

They have a single sided cable though and those piss me off.

you need at the least a $20000 sound functioning room to get proper sound and thats pennypinching

Also why does he spend so much on big fat fucking cables and big boxes and then proceeds to pipe it down a lousy small tube amp

Electrostatics need a lot more power than what you can get from an opamp.

I wanted to get a pair of bluetooth headphones because I've never had one before. Got a Sony mdr-100ABN. Did I do any good? So far I don't really have complaints except for quite a bit of sound leakage and how I can hear a bit of wind while using NC outside. Didn't encounter any lag so far. Only used it with aptX-supporting devices though. Inb4 somebody says mdr100x, fuck that touch to silence gesture, seems really annoying. Also it literally breaks by itself.
How does the ATH-AD900x compare to the ATH-AD700 from a comfort standpoint?
Go on, suggest something better than HD 6xx for $200

I'm having an eargasm from the early 2000's MP3 hiss and compression artifacts.

This is how music is meant to be listened too.
Fiio e17k gud?
some time ago some dudes discussed here about 20 bucks in ear headphones which should be really good.
Which are the best I can get for cheap? Should be below 50 bucks. If below 30 thats a ++.
I dont need no good, just comfy for portable use
Panasonic Ergoshit RP-HJE125 or whatever they are called are top tier for the pennies they cost.

If the memes are to be believed your best options for
Thanks. I'll just try them.
I guess it doesnt even matter much, but was worth a question kek
good meme
>he doesn't know the voltage requirements for electrostats make tubes a compelling option
you guys agree that youtube/128kbps mp3 fucking sucks, right? it might depend on the music genre but yeah.
is the general opinion here that 320kbps mp3 is sufficient? (assuming it was ripped correctly from a CD or w/e and not resampled from 128kbps or some bullshit)
thoses look nice! say i wanted to spend less like 100/150 what would be recommended
I got some speaker monitors for free. If I listen to music on them will they be better or worse that the terrible 20$'s at a yard sale speakers I allready have?
sorry. STUDIO monitors.
I have the beyerdynamic dt770 and audio technica ath-m50x both cost kinda the same and both are fuckin great in my opinion.
I like the audio technica a little bit more, but they are both really good. If you have a store close to you, then just prelisten them.
PS: I am no audiophile fag and am a fuckin pleb.
though the audio technica sit a lil bit tighter. You gotta like that.
If you hate that then the dt770 or something else would be your choice
>DT770
better probably. might take some getting used to though
HD579 or SHP9500
>DT770, DT990
These are terrible headphones.
would my A3 dac be enough to power them to there full with out fear of blowing?
A friend of mine is telling me that buying the 250 Ohm version is just wasting power and i could blow them
Grados like the SR80 are cheap, don't need an amp but have a very coloured, warm, V shaped, punchy sound signature with great mid presentation and an immediate soundstage.
They're very subject to your taste in sound signature; most people eithe love them or hate them. If you're looking for something more exciting they're worth looking into.
Grados are uncomfortable and there's no reason to buy the SR80 over the SR60.
Complete retard here, I want to upgrade from my shitty gayman headset to an actual pair of headphones, looking at the ATH AD700x because muh games, but also the AKG K612 Pro, Sennheiser HD558 and Beyerdynamic DT990s. I do also play guitar and have a usb audio interface (focusrite scarlett) because of that, but I only use it for my guitar atm.
Would it be a safe assumption to make that the audio quality out of the audio interface would be better than whats on board on my pc? I'm currently thinking that I could pick up a decent xlr mic and just use the interface as my sound card?
Do you guys think this would work ok or would I get better bang for my buck if I bought a dac/amp combo and ran the headphones through that and just used a usb mic for example?
Also considering I'm prioritising open back cans with great soundstages, what do you think of the choices I've been looking at thus far? Haven't bought anything yet so still very much open to suggestions.
Satania a cute. A cute!!
>literally treble rape
alright thank you ill look more into the DT770 pros
You'll be deaf before they blow up. You're fine.
DT770 are shit m8. The treble sounds extremely harsh and will cause listening fatigue quickly. If you must buy Beyerdynamic get Custom Studios or DT250 80 ohm instead, as they lack treble rape.
The AKG K612 Pro is the best of your list but you'll need a substancial amp. The focusrite scarlett 2i2 headphone amp is weak as far as amps go.
K612 if you're willing to buy a DAC and a Magni 2, HD579 if you are not. Avoid the absolutely terrible DT990.
So is multibit a real deal or a meme?
It might be technically better but it isn't audibly better.
Cheers for the info, it's actually a 2i4 but I'm actually pretty sure the headphone amp on it would be the same for all models so your point still stands.
Cool, would the modi2 and magni 2 combo be the most cost effective way of powering the k612? I'm not against the idea of getting a dac and amp, but I'd prefer not to spend hundreds of euroshekels if I can help it. Is the K612 better than the ATH AD700X? I know it has a reputation for being extremely easy to drive and really great for fps games.
Magni 2 + hifimediy.com
AD700X has no bass. K612 is significantly better, as is HD579.
>So is multibit a real deal or a meme?
tl;dr It's nothing you need to concern yourself over.
"Multibit" isn't at all better. Presents many disadvantages for no tangible benefit.
