What's the second best headphone behind the MrSpeakers Aeon?
Id say beats since dr dre invented the headphone
I heard his fostex mods at the new York audio show. I was very impressed
What is the second best headphone behind the HD600?
Good IEM for £50 please. I'm not very fussy, mostly for usage in Phone and Laptop
Beats by Dre.

Soundmagic E10, ATH M50
Need something I can use for my daily commute. Considering RHA m750 and Shure se215.
Where can I get the ZS5 in the UK without waiting?
I just got FX X6. It is not bad device and it sound great. Plenty of power too. Only complain s power adapter have very shot cord.
GR07 Bass Edition
You could pay more for shipping to get to you quicker. They are chinese IEMs after all.
asked around last thread and decided to get pair of ATH-M40Xs, the flat sound and detachable cable was deal breakers. hope they are durable and even somewhat comfy.
Etymotic MK5
The m50x are pretty clampy, not entirely sure about the m40x
suppose it's just the new material of those cushions, probably ease out over time. Can always get new pillows of course. But we'll see.
I've never tried beats. Does this thread hate them because they sound bad or just because they are overpriced?
Both and their build quality's shit.
etymotic mk5 if you don't mind paying an extra 9 quid
>detachable cable was deal breakers
What?
Does anyone know what the sound quality is like on Bose QuietComfort 25s?
i was retard, i meant that having detachable cable was one of the reasons i chose them, i used wrong words.
Is the Etymotic ERMK-5 just a refresh of the same thing?
nah that's just the full name of the product
Just snagged these. They sound great.
Glad you are enjoying them, user.
How do you guys download your music? I usually download a YouTube video using a converter set to 320 kbps.
>YouTube
Don't use those shitty converters. Torrent, rutracker or a music distributer like their soundcloud page or SoulSeek
Youtube audio is 128kbps. Yes, really.
>not buying audio tapes
Are there full-sized headphones that measure better than this?
>Koss Portamemes
There was a time when Sup Forums recommended portapros all the time, then it switched to the m50s and now it's the hd 600
Audeze LCD-1s and 61671588
Now find something new to shitpost, you dumb 600 poster.
...
>LCD-1
Inferior high frequency extension.
And everything else?
They are actually somewhat close to HD600 response plus sub bass judging FR wise.
They certainly measure very good; better than any other Audezes. It's a shame only 25 were ever made.
user asked for better headphones, I gave user better headphones
Silly geese

Into the trash it goes.
Also the poorly sealed LCD-1 channel.

Fidelio x2
Hifiman he-400i
Ath-ad1000x
HD600, obviously. See and innerfidelity.com
>Falling for Sennheiser bait
Also, don't recommend Fidelio X2s as neutral headphones. They're niggerbass at best; good niggerbass, but niggerbass nonetheless.
This is a reminder that DiPolarDisorder is a shitposting troll who intentionally spreads factually incorrect misinformation such as "hrtf graphs have an inverse relationship with how a headphone should measure" and refuses to back up his claims with credible evidence because he cannot. His HRTF claim has been thoroughly debunked by:
rinchoi.blogspot.com
innerfidelity.com
hauptmikrofon.de
vbn.aau.dk
Do not take anything he says seriously, especially headphone recommendations.
>in b4 he falsely claims he has debunked these links while refusing to link to said "debunking"
AD1000X
>MOM! I POSTED IT AGAIN! IM TOTALLY OWNING THIS TRIPFAG
I would recommend an HD600 and a Fulla 2. If you find the Fulla 2 doesn't provide adequate volume for your taste you can get a Magni 2 and use the Fulla 2 as just a DAC, but you will probably find the Fulla 2 adequate.
>Personal bogeyman
This, again? Pic related
>X2
Bass-heavy. Not neutral.
>HE-400i
No upper mids and peaky treble. Terrible build quality and even worse customer service.
>AD1000x
Not neutral. No bass.
>Fedora talk
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
>H-he insulted my favorite headphone! I'm going to pretend I understand hrtf and he doesn't! P-please listen to me don't listen to muh Boogeyman!!!!!
It's the natural order of things, to much shitposting, shilling and/or bashing always result in a reaction of equal amounts of shitposting.
Imho it's a good thing, it clears things a little, people start suggesting more options to newcomers and for a while the thread produces debates with more depth.
This too is bound to end for a new shitposting cicle to begin, and so on.
>when the mods couldn't handle the beyer funposting
>I've pissed off this one faggot so much that he repeatedly shitposts in favor of his precious memeheiser hd600s while actively pretending to understand hrtf is some comprehensive way (which he doesn't) and thinks that I will even bother replying with more evidence to support my claim when he will actively deny the evidence no matter what I say and show him.
I automatically assume tripfags to be shitposters, so that's not surprising, but thank you for the heads up.
Thank you for the recommendations. I'll read up on them.
>No bass
Gee, almost like something else on the list...
>shitposting is a good thing
It's a nice distraction to all the Sennheiser spam and shilling
>still posting that tired, debunked claim
Also, HD600 will never snap if you follow the instructions in youtube.com
>people recommending quality products is a valid reason to shitpost
>Having to follow instructions to prevent your headphones from snapping

>The same graphs again
Why even bother? Anything that doesn't fit in is going to be assumed as a "poor seal" anyway.
Don't forget the join my drop gaijin, he he he
For portable use and having a life-time warranty the portapro is still not bad option, besides, the three headphones you mentioned are in different price ranges.
Happens all the time, as it should, this board is for debating technology, not shitposting, pic related, CG would get his posts deleted all the time.
>shitposting shills cause shitposting reaction
>original shitposters lose ground

How did you take "shitposting is a good thing" from that i will never know, but it shows how new you must be, things work like since before the first /hpg/.
Le happy chinaman strikes again
Low key wanna cop. Might replace my 400is with these.
PC speakers always win, baby!
This just in: plebians enjoy bass boosted to retard levels.
When are these beauties being released?
Drop starts the 3rd. No info on shipping but my guess is it will be in your hands around Christmas time
They're 400i's in a 400 enclosure with Focus A pads
This just in, any more bass than HD 600s are automatically niggerbass.

How much will it probably cost? Would love to try something different.
Sounds smexy. Hope it runs for a while.
Thanks for the help, Sup Forums. Just ordered HD600 and a Fulla 2. I'm excited.
I'll be sure to do the thing in that video when I get them. Thank you for the helpful link.

Enjoy your shit build quality and 2 left earcups
Really? Uh, that's much cheaper than i thought, might actually try to buy it and have someone send it to my country.
Those Hifiman hinges are as fragile as Beyerdynamic hinges, that is to say, extremely fragile.
>Sennheiser shills unironically believe being able to compete against speakers
Sad!
That actually sounds appealing, i have my DT880 for about 5 years and they are fine, anything that lasts at least as long shouldn't be bad.
I advocate for HD600s and willingly admit that once you drop a couple hundred on quality monitors that no headphones can compete with speakers. Speaker use is obviously not practical for all situations, though.
Can't be as bad as the Chink shit plastic the HD 600 uses, right?
will a fulla 2 be enough for the fostex t50rp iii's?
Is the Fulla 2 powerful enough for the HD600?
It will get it loud enough but sounds kind of thin to me

I've used some cheaper Sony headphones before, and currently have a Monoprice set (which I think is model 108323). The best thing about it is probably the modular wire, so if I can find another set with a modular wire, that would be great.
