Idol trash here.
What's your setup like, user?
What is the second best headphone behind the HD600?
M50x
What do I buy for a DAC/Amp if I'm Canadian? Everything costs a fucking fortune after exchange+shipping+customs.
HD600 + M50x, truly the redditors choice
Any good headphones that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Checked local store other day, there was some ridiculous seinnheisers' at ~$800
HD580
HD 6xx is only $200
x6
Fuck me you're fast. Magni+fulla bro back again and I'm half drunk. Link me some mega weeaboo 60fps shit right nowwwwwwwwwww
650. K712 is third in my experience. 702 possibly 4th.
I'm a bit drunk, but I'll try, from recent yt history.

HD6XX if you don't mind the December 18th ship date
Absolute legend. Thanks m8
DAC X6 unless you have low impedance shit then stay the fuck away from it.
That's a cute frog
Sent the elears back cause channel imbalance. Got to order some new ones.
Screenshot is from Gamers!! ep2, if you care.
I care :^)
>spending hundreds of dollars on audio equipment to listen to weeb trash
^_^
You, too, can get decent audio equipment and listen to arbitrary music with it.
Figured why the HD 600 is shilled so much here, seems like the most vocal shitposters only listen to mid-centric genres
I have a pair of 598 and it has decent soundstage. Is there something that's better in terms of soundstage/ positional audio?
Sennheiser HE 1
>vocal shitposters
seiyuu idols are bliss
>mid-centric
Most of the interesting stuff is happening in the midrange. It's not just the voices that live there, but most of the range of most instruments, and most of the sensitivity of your ears.
Yep that's what I do.
Now as for my next purchase, I'm debating between the HD800 and HE-560.
What would you define as low? 50Ω ? Sub-50Ω ?
>HD800
treble rape
>HE-560
chink shit build quality
I use EQ so I don't care about FR by and large. And I have prime so QC doesn't matter to me either.
Need something to damp out the peaky treble you get from idol singers because all japs have crooked teeth that cause sharp resonances when air passes through them
How are the HD 630VB?
Nice waifu btw.
Her seiyuu is voicing the main blackhair girl in kakegurui, which is some summer anime series.
youtube.com
They already ruined her voice with Fukumenkei Noise
Any headphones that make music fun to listen to?
I have the ATH-M50s and the Beats By Dre Pros. Both do what they're supposed to do I think (M50s flat and clear, Pros bassy) but I want something in-between. Doesn't have to be bluetooth enabled or anything.
Budget isn't an issue too much as long as it's under $400. Whatever headphone is recommended I will likely buy used anyways.
yukinoshita yukino's totally my type, which she also voiced.
Full list here: anidb.net
>M50s flat and clear
>m50x
>flat
Ayy.
Meh.
I love her and Noto Mamiko for their soft voices but they can voice some pretty average characters.
I'm no weeabo and the 600 is the best headphone I have ever tried by far.
>that dac+amp combo
I have the exact same. It's fucking amazing isn't it? The only reason I would ever change mine is if they released a magni 3 which had the same dac inside it.
why wouldn't you just grab a jontunheim
Because the Jotunheim sucks
I doubt they'll ever change the stack from its stack form factor, with the separate but not really dac and amp. It's iconic.
youtube.com
It's quite nice, yes. There are some shortcomings like lack of SPDIF and coax or susceptibility to EMI interference, but by and large it's more than adequate for my purposes.
it's better than the magni and the dac add-in card is the same as the fulla 2 dac
In the case of the DAC X6 with 10 Ohm output impedence, Sub-80 Ohm or Sub-100 Ohm.
Used TH-X00
Because it's massive, literally costs twice as much as both of them combined, and it doesn't even have an output like the fulla 2 does.
Why the fuck would I want one?
Sure doesn't sound like $500
>and it doesn't even have an output like the fulla 2 does
??
I forgot the term, but I mean the left jack on pic related. I can hook up my fulla 2 to other hings like game consoles etc. Even if the jotunheim can do that. It still costs twice as much as my set up, and it's stupidly huge. I'd also question if it sounds better with my headphones (600's) but I don't actually know, or care, based on the things I just stated.
>pic related
?
All he'd need is a TRS to RCA cable.
Jot not full meme compliant yet
>balanced
>yet no multibit dac card option
you can't fit that on the dac card or anything smaller than the modi
Sony MDR-7506 should arrive on Tuesday. Hyped af.
SuperLux HD 668B on my PC.
Sony MDR-7506 on my OnePlus 5.

Is the DT1770s any good, or are there better alternatives for that price point?
>Under 60 - DAC x6
>100-110 Fulla 2, micca origen+
I grabbed DAC x6 for 51 usd, free shipping and anything.
Anyone tried the Bowers Wilkins P9?
I looked into the Fulla 2, but buying direct from Schiit is 99+16.20+Brokerage fee(Schiit says $6.50-10, we'll assume 6.50) and possibly customs.
So 121.70USD and any customs, which translates into $153 CAD.
Suddenly it's not quite as affordable.
I dunno, maybe it's worth $150 but it's a kinda demoralizing number.
Any difference between the white and black model? Can't really understand why one is more expensive than the other
Probably just retarded Amazon sellers.
The one experience I had way back when was I went to a hi-fi shop in Toronto to buy a pair of ATH-M50s (don't judge me, I was a pleb and they were THE recommendation back then) and the white ones were $10 more than the black. I asked the dude if there was any difference and he said "It's the Apple tax, people will pay $10 more for white headphones"
red or black? I'm waiting for the HD6XX but I'm tempted for these as well. Is there a point? I heard the pads were heaven.
HD600 is not an option because lol canada
red looks nice.
Yeah it's a pretty good razor, works great with the nivea gel I have at home
change the pads asap to bigger ones. Mine has been collecting dust for awhile because the stock pads suck ass (they're almost like on-ears pads)
i haven't gotten to doing that myself because eh they're just my beater cans when I need to take something to the library or something.
which pads do you recommend?
Shure SRH1540, Oppo PM-3
Don't. You'd be far better off putting that $200 towards something else.
How are the K7xx anyways? Good? Bad?
Are they even good?
>AKG
treble rape
something like
bhphotovideo.com
I think this was the one I was recommended before. Can't seem to find a non-retarded price on amazon anymore so that's a pity.
dunno if anyone has a better recommendation. I remember this was recommended to me when the ATH-M40X and M50X were also recommended here so eh times may have changed. I haven't actually gotten to replacing mine yet since the stock ones are still clean (since I barely use it), but it's definitely what I'll use to replace it.
Preference. Red look good because of the center circle. Otherwise the black look better with the non colored bars.

When will we get a company that makes nice, balanced headphones?
Would the Extra Deep pads be a good choice?
How would it affect the sound?
DT250.
>Shure SRH1540, Oppo PM-3
not him but I'm also interested in closed headphones at this price range.
Is it easy to replace the earpads on the Shure one? I'm reading about the Oppo PM3 right now and apparently Oppo prefers customers to send over the headphones if they need the earpads replaced? Weird lock mechanism for the Oppo.
it looks bigger than the Oppo (good thing), is it bigger?
>DT250
Nigel Farage approves.
>DT250
Beyerdynamic, so treble rape beyersremorse.
You find a capably balanced driver and mod/make your own headphone around that.
it would probably be more comfortable but I don't know how the sound would be affected. I was looking specifically at the genuine sheepskin one. They're both well-reviewed
Thanks, mate.
Gonna get the Extra Deep pads as soon as possible.
They look beautiful on the MDR-7606s.
TOPKEK
That's a very good and much more neutral alternative you presented.
>Is it easy to replace the earpads on the Shure one?
Should be simple enough
amazon.com
>Oppo prefers customers to send over the headphones if they need the earpads replaced? Weird lock mechanism for the Oppo.
Is that so? Weird. You may still be able to change them yourself.
>it looks bigger than the Oppo (good thing), is it bigger?
What looks bigger? The pads?
You can see him pull off one of the pads if you watch the video on here:
amazon.com
yes the pads. I'm looking at reviews for the Oppo and the negatives i'm seeing is that it's too small for them.
so far I'm reading (and watching) the reviews for the Shure. Dunno what to make of the Z review calling it "boring" though, sounds retarded.
>THAT NIGGER BASS
Why are my headphones so sharp
DT250 are not treble rapey. DT770/880/990 are.
Hey Sup Forums. I've got m40x's, which are closed back, and came with leather pads, that hold the audio inside quite well. Will i lose sound quality/volume from switching the pads which leak a lot of sound?
Pic related, its what the new pads look like.
>DT250 are not treble rapey
nice try beyer shill
>literally no treble
That's half the magnitude of the DT770/880/990 peak. Not rapey. This is rapey.
Sony MDR-7506.
What are the pros and cons?
Pro: cheap
Con: Bright as shit
Pros:
>great price/performance ration
>built as a tank
>industry standard
>mostly neutral
Cons:
>treble can be fatigating
>pads need to be replaced
Focal ;)
I have always like to try a pair of these. They're just so cool looking for some reason and clearly decent sounding.
