Looking for some decent wireless in ear headphones that are not physically connected to each other.
Normal shit, or chink shit.
These will be used to listen music at work, and cycling. I don't want to any wires, and at least 5 hours of use.
Thanks

Just got some bose QC 35's
Good headphones for the shower?
I think these may be what you're looking for.
SR007
HD600
Won't open headphones get water/moisture in them and short out/be ruined?
Yes
Earpods®
HD 600
HD 600
Is fulla 2 enough to drive HD600?
Yes
Yes for modern compressed music.
Closed headphones for under €50? So far I'm considering Sennheiser HD202.
buy a pair of dt990 pros for $90 to replace my hd558s y/n?
Treble goes through the roof if you're unable to run them properly, but otherwise nice if you are looking for a v-shaped headphone
Reminder that STAX owners think they can hear up to 352kHz.
And they can :^)
>Inb4 confirmed earlet
What are the best headphones ever made?
>And they can :^)
Bet you can't even hear 19kHz.
HD650
You mean HD600 right?
Definitely not
>Confirmed earlet
>Inb4 confirmed dynamiclet
Literally jej
I can hear from 14hz to 21khz btw.
Hi-Res is a meme also.
Nope, HD600 is too bright.
>Not 352kHz
Audeze LCD-1s
You mean LCD-X right?
Nah
I have fixed the problem by putting a paper piece behind the DAC, which apparently helps connect the DAC to the AMP.
I think one of the connector pins was not touching before, causing the outage of the right channel.
Don't forget to join my drops, gaijin. Heh heh heh.

I'll admit to being butthurt I heard about the HD 6XX right after it closed
Well I have it since 5 years and I probably broke it myself desu.
Oh no worries my western devi... *cough* I mean friend, we have many very fine headphones indeed. Might I interest you in a nice K7xx that's dropped right now.
What is the second best headphone behind the HD600?
HD650
Kill yourself you poorfag
That's a severe downgrade.
If I buy headphones from amazon and there's something wrong with them do I have to ship the back? Do they cover return shipping costs?
If shits broken they'll cover return shipping. Otherwise you have to cover it.
I have Westone W-40's. Would there be a noticeable difference in sound quality if I bought W-80's, NA Kaiser/Katana, CA Vega, etc?
Get the HE4XX instead goy. It's cheaper and better.
My hearing drops off completely after 12khz, what setup should I get?
Fill out the form
Something from Beyer.
eyo
Will the Monoprice AMP be enough for the HD600?
Yes, easily
>My hearing drops off completely after 12khz
How old are you? 100?
are you sure though? most sites say they're pretty good and i don't see anything better for the price.
i'm tired of being a basslet, though i'm not too excited about how the dt990s are described as harsh. i do have an amp to drive them tough fucking hell what do i do?

I want to be able to both wear them in public while walking around, and be able to wear them for a long period of time while doing desk work.
>Sound signature
Neutral. V-shaped seem to be fine, but I don't have much experience. I have a wide variety in my music taste, and I switch from genre to genre a lot. Mostly has been metal and classic rock recently, but hip-hop and edm are also choices.
>Past headphones

I have narrowed it down to M40x or Status CB-1. Any further opinions, the price between both of them doesn't matter much to me.
I mean do you have access to the dt880s? They're a much more balanced headphone.
Not him, but he's correct. HD558 are close to neutral and DT770/880/990 are very far from neutral. HD600 is your only logical upgrade path.
Are you serious? Retard.
I would recommend DT880s instead
38
At m40x
Status audio cb1

M40x?

M40X and CB-1 are your best bets. Just depends whether you want comfy now or later.

wtf Germany? Why is Germany a joke?
Your headphones are already better than most headphones in the under $300 category and any upgrades you'll find in this price category will be extremely slight upgrades and honestly not worth the money. Be aware that headphone frequency response, which is responsible for nearly all of the perceived audio quality of a headphone, has no correlation with price: asa.scitation.org
You will need to spend $300 on an HD600 to obtain a significant sonic upgrade over your HD558. If you cannot afford that now, just stick with your HD558 until you can.
You should do research outside of /hpg/ which is heavily shitposted, trolled and samefagged as of late, particularly when any Sennheiser headphones are discussed.
>that channel matching
WTF!!!!!!!
France is the best country with audio. It produces the objectively best and second best headphones, the Utopia and Elear.
The 558's bass muddies up the mids. Even AD900Xs are going to be an upgrade if you don't mind the lack of bass.
>Significant upgrade
>Meme study
>Fqr most important
>Most easily fixed thing with EQ.
I'm going to go with completely fucking wrong for $500, Alex.
>Those digits
Kek. Sennshills kindly BTFO'd
>You will need to spend $300 on an HD600 to obtain a significant sonic upgrade over your HD558
alright i'm just going to get the 990s. it's only $90 so it's not like i'm going broke, i'm buying them so i can hand down my 558s to my brother. i'll save up some money and go headphone shopping again at the end of the year, thanks fellas.
The SHP9500S are much better than the DT990 for less.
Then they'd be a sidegrade to his 558s. DT 990s are at least a different sound signature, but I do also somewhat agree with you.
Seconding this. See if you can find a pair.
His next argument
>more THD is good!
jej
I think I will be going with the M40x, ampless for now. Unless someone has a good recommendation for something inexpensive and portable. Being able to wear them on my walking commute is a must.
get speakers u retard

If I were to buy a Beyerdynamic headphone and the cord were to break.
How the fuck would you replace it?
You don't
Why would someone design a headphone like that?
>he didn't buy the Custom pro/studio, DT 250, dt 1770/1990, t1 gen 2 with detachable cables
To save on costs. Alternatively, you can make the headphone chink shit, and charge a ton for replacements. There's no winning, dude
Solder a 3.5 female onto it to make it detachable
Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes. Now go out and read up on the respective sound signatures (or, better yet, go to a store, show or meet up to demo them in person) before you drop A LOT of money. Also, you may not want the TOTL(s) of each of those respective companies if the sound signature of a lower-priced model may suit your taste more. With those companies, it's less "sound quality" and more "sound signature and individual pro/cons that refine the already luscious sound". Seriously though, do your homework before you spend dat money.
What are some headphones that are build like a tank?
I think I fucked up my hearing, I was testing my hearing range.
>Test the highs
> Can hear up to 19khz with low to medium volume
I'm 28 btw
>Not bad
>Test the lows
>Can hear up to 17hz
>Not bad
>Start to feel a weird sensation inside my ears, like a tickling sensation.
>Get up from my desk.
>Feeling dizzy now.
It has been two days since, now every time I start playing music I start feeling dizzy and my ears start to tickle.
I did the test with my CB-1 and Aune x1s, I had the volume in low.
What do bros? Should I visit an otolaryngologist?
