>two posts deep

Idol trash here.
What's your setup like, user?

Yeah, you're a real expert on Reddit memes alright.

>Sennheiser shilling list
You have it wrong, user. Now start again with "Poorfag tier: HD 600"

This again? Are you that thirsty for (You)s, user?

I wouldn't know, I've just heard stories. But you sound experienced. Perhaps you would enlighten us.

Oh no, I couldn't. You're clearly the one more well versed in Reddit memes here.

No need for (You)s when there's a Straw Poll, dear user. The user from last thread wasn't me

That's because I practically live in this general. As a newfag, you probably don't know any better, but I'll forgive you for being retarded as long as you tell me you didn't mean it.

Nah, we all know you live on Reddit. Your posting style reeks of it.

>admitting you're from reddit
case closed

Does it? I apologize for that, I didn't mean to remind you of your usual habitat. I really wouldn't know any better since I only post here. You're welcome to stay in this general though, as long as you don't wear a trip and start shilling senns.

>le sennheiser boogeyman meme
lol, just lol

...

>he deletes his post admitting he's from reddit
JUST

I'm just looking out for the poor anons that could get led astray.

Yeah, we wouldn't want them buying garbage products which come with two right cups instead of reputable products like the HD600, now would we.

We really wouldn't want them buying garbage products like your posts either.

My posts aren't a "product" which can be bought, but nice try on that one. I can tell you clearly put a lot of effort into that amazingly epic oneliner.

Thanks, yeah I had to workshop that one a bit. It's hard keeping up with the humor of someone who only posts on reddit.

Whoa, and back again to the reddit accusations. Need I remind you that you ADMITTED to being a redditor, and then deleted your post as damage control?

That wasn't you? Now I'm confused. Could you put your trip back on please?

>accusing me of being dipolar
what the fuck is wrong with you?

So what's /hpg/ spinning tonight?

Badbadnotgood IV on deck

>Being this paranoid about your personal boogeyman
Kek

I thought you were sennshill actually.

Ayyy, welcome back

i don't get how these wacko redditors think
whatever, you do you man

He could be anyone. Everyone. You can't trust people. You just don't know when they're going to try and slip a pair of HDs onto your ears and steal your money.

wb senpai please impregnate me

>After user bashed on Sennheiser

You really think a redditor would bash sennheisers? Come on now.

>again proving his intimate knowledge of reddit

not sure if I want more kids.

I've never met anyone quite like you before, user~

my.mixtape.moe/oqfyvf.flac

Bottom. Top is tinny and veiled.

No need for (You)s, senpai

No, I've just spent so long immersed into Sup Forums culture that I can instantly detect when someone isn't from around here, like yourself. And seeing as you're so obsessed with reddit, you're clearly trying to hide something. I wonder what it could be?

What is the second best headphone behind the HD600?

>damage controlling after you yourself admitted it
Just take the L on this one dude

reddit

Kill yourself you poorfag

But that was you, I thought? I guess I was rused.

HD 600 (best is HD 650)

Do you count your (you)s? How many autists have you triggered so far?

They're the same old replies to the same old posts, dear user

That's not what I asked.

I like this op image because I just bought porta pros two days ago
never thought such small phones could sound this good
kinda meh for games though, although I might not yet found the sweet spot

not sure if this is the appropriate thread but maybe you could tell me what is the poorfag solution if I wanted a desktop amp/mixer for listening to music on a daily basis and doing internet radio every now and then (what I mean is that I want it to take mic input)

Sure it is!

get an interface like this

amazon.com/Behringer-UMC202HD-BEHRINGER-U-PHORIA/dp/B00QHURUBE/ref=sr_1_8?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1503014620&sr=1-8&keywords=usb interface

doesn't look half bad, thanks

What's a good dac/amp under 100 burger bucks? If can handle usb and fiber that would be great.

Fulla 2 from schiit audio.

schiit.com/products/fulla-2

monoprice.com/Product?c_id=120&cp_id=12008&cs_id=1200801&p_id=11567#

I recently got one for recording guitar and it's nice and noise-free and low latency. I dig it. Just be aware that its headphone output is very high output impedance; this isn't a problem for me since I plug my powered speakers into it. Anyways, Equalizer APO installs to it flawlessly and it measures well: nwavguy.blogspot.com/2011/02/behringer-uca202-review.html
Great little cheap device.

well I mean to plug it into pc and listen to music 6 days a week, on the seventh I often do a live radio show and so far I made it with just software solutions but I think, as well as my listeners, that my mic could use some more sound
would it be suitable for that purpose, not recording as much as live broadcasting?

I'd also snag a Fulla2, I doubt you can find fiber at that price range.

Micca origen + does optical and usb.

Any good neutral headphones for a keyboard that is under $100?

Got myself a casio keyboard since I am starting to learn piano so I want some headphones that way I can listen to the notes. I have headphones already but I want studio grade headphone that are netural at best.

>I don't want a quarter inch jack adapter since my headphones are wireless skillcandy

SHP9500S, neutral erring on brightness and HD 558, neutral erring on darkness

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

I can't guarantee it'll provide your mic any more volume than your onboard sound does. A USB mic might be a better solution, like a Blue Snowball iCE.

round 2.

>vinyl

SHP9500S. Bought mine for $60 CAD and use mine for piano

Digging the translucent orange.

>plebspotter no longer automatically shitposting the HD600
What happened?

>Sennheiser shill left after being found out not to own the headphones
Take a guess

Akg k240 is pretty neutral. Shp9500 has better build and comfort, but is bright

I wonder if he realized he was just making people support the HD600 more.

I mean I can keep shitting on them if you want me to. I'm drunk though and I wanna spin wax.

By causing Sennshill to constantly shill and shitpost his headphones?

>WARNING, HIGHLY AUTISTIC QUESTION BELOW

I'm testing my new FiiO E10K dac with my old dt770's and noticed some crackling in
certain songs. I'm not sure if it's something on my end or part of the recordings.
Some songs sound perfectly clear and crisp at even the highest volume while on low
gain, but some other "crakle" at high volume. It's barely noticeable even then.

Does anyone hear a crakle at the 1:58 to 1:60 mark of this video? I hear it in all my
sources for this soundtrack, and all of them on the left speaker of my headphone.

youtube.com/watch?v=Ns7fNPiNiNc

...

Sorry forgot link to sample track (if you haven't heard the album before): youtube.com/watch?v=hrD85YGpTCY

Yeah, there's a tiny bit of "crackle" there. Some headphones are more revealing of this sort of stuff than others.

Patrician taste

Convince me to get the HD600s. The Dt880 seems like a better headphone.

> cheaper, better build, better comfort and less clamp, very neutral outside of treble peak, humble and sophisticated owners
Vs

>hd600, expensive, chink plastic, veiled unexciting sound, Reddit owners

Am I missing something?

Nice. You have great taste in music as well as hardware my man.

No crackle here. You might have a hair on your left driver.

You forgot the no sub-bass :^)

>quote

Yes. It might just be the video, but you should know by now that the sound quality on youtube sucks.

>reddit owners
>hes still damage controlling after all this time

glomf

Just bought some 650s how'd I do?

There seems to be an inverted ratio between how many headphones a person tested and how much they shill/bash an specific model/brand etc.
The problem isn't what headphone you own, but not having tested many others.

HD600. There is indeed something there.

You bought the second most neutral headphone in the world, congratulations. They're not 600s,but they're something.

Great!

yun-chan is cute!

>They're not 600s,but they're something.
Is that a bad thing, user?
