Anime a shit

Why always an anime girl?

Someone post the image showing what the g in Sup Forums stands for.

proof god doesn't exist - there are human beings so inferior that they think a magni sounds the same as an nfb-11

What is the second best headphone behind the HD600?

>Being this dumb
Filipino racing website!

Kumiko a fluffy. A fluffy!

Reminder that a measurably transparent dac/amp will sound no different from any other measurably transparent dac/amp. If you suggest otherwise you are claiming to be able to hear miniscule differences even our most advanced sensors cannot pick up.

Kill yourself you poorfaggot

magni doesn't even have measurements you id*ot

When did I ever claim the magni was measurably transparent you l*mer

Get a room you two

Listen to chiru.no:8081/stream.flac with your CloverOS install using Stax headphones

Thanks, I actually have headphones now.

HD600, obviously.

>he thinks his headphone benchmarks are accurate

So why'd you drop the dipolar trip?

not me

>What are headphones preferences
user hasn't even told us what he wanted in his headphones

bullshit, you're TrustyFucks, antitrustyfucks, Dipolar and comfygrados

Neat, we have two tripfags now

No Idol Trash? :^(

Idol trash doesn't shit post as much, thus he clearly must be another person

Bullshit, you have to be missing someone. I'm damn sure there is an Anti-DiPolar somewhere around here

>I'm damn sure there is an Anti-DiPolar somewhere around here
I think well over half of /hpg/ realizes what a tard he is.

The sennshill? Yeah, could probably lump him in with the rest.

Idol Trash doesn't post much at all, i'm pretty sure

Just got a UCA202 and it's surprisingly usable and noise-free as an audio interface. Equalizer APO installs to it perfectly. I couldn't be happier for the low price. Yes, I know about the output impedance. Will use it to record guitar and play back through powered speakers.

nice thread

AKG K845BT for 129€
For my sister who also wants to cosplay Futaba.
I heard that it's a great pair of headphones, and it about 60% off on the official AKG website.

Own both, NFB-11 a best.

i wish the magni+hd800 friend agreed but he just said mean things to me instead

I bought a V20
I don't have audiophile-grade headphones (yet)
Is it worth investing in a DAC + better gear?

>V20
You mean the phone? Getting good headphones + a DAC is better reserved for home listening.

Sup Forums's opinions on the taket h2+. Are the earpad/earrest things too uncomfortable for extended use?

What's a good closed back headphone for

Oppo PM3

dt-770 or oppo pm-3

TH-X00
DT770/Custom Studio
380 Pro

They ain't bad for what they are.

JVC sz2000 if you get bass boners.

these are to replace the sz2000s

Were they horrible?

The build quality was. Snapped hinges. That's the 3rd broken time. I was able to fix it with glue the other times but it's getting ridiculous. Usual problems with pleather deteriorating on all the pads. Sound was really bad without an EQ, but with EQ they're decent enough on the mids /highs with that monster bass hit that almost makes up for it

Thanks for achieving end game from when I was a kid growing up with mini disc - still wanted one of those - but the price is crazy. Just happy my iPhone and canopener has 24bit - a great eq and cross feed. Can't live without them in 2017 to be perfectly honest.

>Budget
A max of around $120 or so.
Not including shipping and handling.

>Location
US

>Source
Nintendo Switch, with maybe a FiiO E10K DAC/AMP (I already have one of these connected to my desktop).

>Type of headphone
Full-sized, Over-ear

>Open or closed
Open

>Comfort level
Super comfy for moderate to long sessions. I perfer headphones with some kind of cloth on them like satin or velvet.

>Sound signature
As I will be using these with just my Nintendo Switch, something that will make both the sound effects and maybe more importantly the ingame music sound great. I don't go hard in any kind of PVP, so I don't need to be able to pick up the slightest noise of footsets or anything.

Maybe something similar or like the Sennheiser HD 558, as these are what I currently use and love.

>Past headphones
Various Logitech and Creative headsets.
various cheap and not so cheap IEMs I bought for travel purposes.
PLANTRONICS GameCom 367
Koss PortaPro
Panasonic RP-HTF600-S
Sennheiser HD201
Sennheiser HD558 (current headphones attatch to desktop)

Who wins?

Ooo these are nice. I haven't bought anything Philips in a long time.

bestbuy.com/site/sennheiser-audiophile-over-the-ear-headphones-titan/1700513.p

A second pair of HD558s would be nice. Though I'm kind of looking to get something different. BUT that doesn't mean I wasn't about to get another 558, just was looking different to have between my desktop and the Switch.

Again, the idea of having two 558s is very nice.

Looking for the cheapest competent on or over-ears worth a damn. What say you?

I'm going to get these SHP9500. I need to get to bed, and want to make my purchase before that.

Thanks guys.

I have just found this, a relic from times when the HD 600 weren't a meme yet.

wtf @ absurdly strong and fatiguing bass in those songs.
(on HD600, no EQ)

I think I found the problems

>HD600 with an amp change their sound, esp bass
>hurr durr conformation bias, record me muh double blind testing, placeblo
Suck on deze nuts.

If I plug two things into the SMSL M3 at the same time will both of the things plugged in at once play audio through one pair of headphones?

No, you chose which input to hear

Some idol trash stuff (from love live AFA).

This is recorded from an arcade machine, so it sounds good considering.

oh wow, it's fucking nothing

Sounds fine to me (SHP9500's)

That's expected.
SHP9500 are good for the price, but they're still low end.
Low end headphones do soften the sharp edges. These are also pretty recessed on the bass, compared to HD600.

>blown the fuck out
>b-b-but it's nothing
Here are measurements that prove that HD600 change their sound with amping, if you have deaf ears it's your problem pal :^).

Just what HD600's need, a mud enhancement filter

>Sound signature
I don't know if 3D audio / directional audio is a thing but I would need it since I use it for gaymen

If it also has a detachable cord it'd be great, I don't know why it's not a standard thing.

atx-m40x

can't decide between m40x and hm5


I want build quality and noise isolation

Right now the main thing is the spare pair of earpads on the hm5 (and slightly cheaper price) making me want those instead

ATH Mxx series =/= build quality

those hinges are going to die eventually

dunno bout HM5

seem great, thx man
