HD650 and AKG Q701 for overears.

Overall, just looking to upgrade. I want a higher end headphone, even though I don't really need it.

ESP-950

>HD650 and AKG Q701 for overears.
Can you tell me the difference between them? Thank you.

...

...

based

I don't use Spotify because I am Spotify

Hifiman he-560
Used audeze lcd-2

Stax or nothing

...

...

Why these over stax? Any particular reason?

They're very similar. HD650 are slightly warmer, whereas Q701 are slightly brighter. The 650 definitely leak more sound, and have a slightly larger soundstage.

Today, I will remind them.

yea I was thinking he-650 or the dt-1990. Maybe the audeze el-8

It's in the range with other Stax models and is just overall really good, it's a good runner up to something like the SR-007.

I'd just get planars considering you've owned dynamic driver cans in the past.

You could also get the mr speakers aeons at that price range.

that was my thought. I have the isine 10's, but don't have a pair of overear planar. I was really considering the monolith m1060 a few weeks ago, but i just made some money and want to splurge.

What is the second best headphone behind the HD600?

Fuck off, this is a Stax SR-007 thread.

Beats solo

i optimize my ssl too

unrelated thing: did you know that women can make farts out of their vaginas? it's called queefs.

HD600 > SR-009 and some Lambdas > shit > SR-007

Nice joke, fagface.

I want you to have my babies

this post is accurate

The m1060s are a great value for the money, but if you're willing to splurge consider audeze and Mr speakers offerings.

>Hd600s
>Better than anything
>Not meme cans for autists

I was either thinking this, or possible something somewhat cheaper and getting an oppo ha-2 as well. Are portable dac amps needed? or a meme?

jpop music video stream chiru.no:8080/stream.webm

Depends on the application and what cans you're driving. They're only a meme if you already have a high end phone or dap and you're driving sensitive iems or closed back headphones.

Convince me I shouldn't buy a HE4XX. I'm wavering.

1.youre going to wait until December to get them
2.hifimans customer service is shitty (but all headphone manufacturers have shitty customer service).

That being said, for $170 you get a headphone with much better measuring fqr and distortion figures than the meme600s.

this is what you need in your life:
gentoo linux
amd threadripper
stax sr-007
flac
high resolution wav
.dff super audio cd/DSD
streaming flac radio
15TB of music

only then you'll get on my level

why are you so thirsty?

I would lick the pepsi off of cirno's body

Kill yourself, you poorfag

Kek. Nice try, user. But we all know you've never tried any of them

>Being to poorfag you fell for the HD 600 endgame maymay

>Literally says lian li on it

Did you maybe consider the possibility of stretching the headband in order to make it less tight?

oh
i didn´t know that lian li has only one single case i assumed that they offer many cases because thats a thing they do

Is there a full-sized headphone currently in production which measures better than this?

Everything they sell that isn't retarded is just a grey box anyway. Pick one and run with it

Definitely

Are the AudioTechnica M40x the recommended headphones for $100?
other than the Sony MDR V6, since I plan to use them on the go, and the sony's only come with the super long curly cable

Get the Fostex T50RP, it beats the pants off both of them.

Just got my Modi 2 today. It comes in an ugly box (probably the default one where they store them and then slapped there the sticker with my info) and no fucking cables of any kind, no USB nor RCA, so I had to buy some from Amazon and they will come probably next week since I live in a fucking island.

Well, I think it won't look ugly at all under my O2.

How bad is O2+Modi 2+DT880 Pro?

>Fostex T50RP
>they look pretty good, but still, they are for a friend with a tight $100 Budget

I bought them some time ago. I returned them.
They are definitely V-shaped, but they sound spacious and "right". The bass boost feels good in a lot of music recordings. I returned them because the isolation was too weak for my needs.

Sometimes I feel sad because I think what if all that "quality" AMP+DAC hype is just a meme?

I bought the O2+ODAC some time ago, and I felt it was an upgrade from my FiiO E10, but I worry if it was just placebo.

Feels bad, man. I hope my AMP+DAC combo at least doesn't break in a couple of years.

See

what headphones?

as long as your faith doesn´t waiver all will be well and you don´t have to feel sad after all, even if it's just a placebo it´s real because you believe it.
stay strong brother for the sake of the faith

Now I see what's the true meaning of external amps and DACs. They are there in the market just to prove our faith. For those of us who are willing to see an improvement in our life. For the strong people. Thanks user, you show me the path to glory.

>meme amp
>meme dac
>ear raping headphones

thanks, the sound isolatio is not a big issue, since they are for office/mixed use.

>Le ear rape maymay
What is your setup, user?

Ok so I'm selling my HD650s and leaving DT990s. I can't take it anymore. Both of them are colored as fuck compared to LSR305s which are 10 times better but HD650s were 240 euro when I've bought them. It's like the price of my monitors. The DT990s were 65 euro used (4 times less) and they are no worse than HD650 in terms of sound quality. And I can use them as a headphones for games because of their sound signature and superb comfiness (while HD650s have retarded clamp force).
So I've came here to ask: Are there any normal headphones with NEUTRAL frequency response? I don't want WARM or FUN, i want fucking NORMAL. Better if they will be open and price range not limited but as always less=better.
I have M40x too and they sound a bit more normal than HD650 and DT990 in terms of frequency response.
Maybe I want too much from headphones?

I own both the Beyerdynamic DT 880 and the Sennheiser HD 600. When I upgraded to the O2+ODAC I felt the treble less harsh and more "detailed" than with the FiiO E10.
