>It's called warmth.
Weird way to spell veil.
>narrow sound stage, only can you'll ever need
terrible for movies and gaming
>movies and gaming need a wide soundstage
This is a myth.
They're very bad. HD600 are far superior.
A narrow-as-fuck soundstage doesn't help either
Basically seconding this. They are comparable to the Sennheiser HD600s, but slightly brighter and with more sub-bass, making them perhaps a bit more enjoyable for casual listening, whereas the HD600s are more analytical and precise. Personally however I would recommend the m1060 above either headphone, as they can be easily modified to sound almost identical to the Audeze LCD-2s (1,500 dollar planar magnetics) with a pad swap that has youtube video tutorials showing how to do it as well as the frequency response measurements proving it.

Multibit is a meme if you are paying more than 250 dollars for something other than the modi multibit dac. The problem isn't that multibit is better or worse than delta-sigma, but that it shouldn't cost more since there is no real discernible difference.
>No sub-bass
And anons who own the 600s/650s they shill so much is also a myth. I guess we can just ignore them
Movies and video games sound amazing on the HD650s.
No, you should buy it.
Post pics of your multibit dac with timestamp for us, 'non.
This is a myth which has been debunked.
HD600 the most enjoyable casual listening headphones in the world and M1060 are ringing: the headphone.
Kek. Am I supposed to believe you own the headphones too?

Hold up there buddy, I'm the one doing the scamming here.

Why even make that claim when you don't actually own any headphones near its price range?
Philips SHP9500s aren't available in my country and it's 200 dollars to buy them from ebay fuck
Can you swell guys recommend me a second pair of headphones ? My soundblaster alpha 3d broke down
Just ordered me some Philips shp9500 today on NewEgg as recommended by some anons on a previous thread for piano
But do I need anything else along the road I should not expect them for at least another week

A lot, but I was using a Sony MDR-1A. At home, I like X2, HD650, SHP9500, dislike AKG 550, MDR V6.
Looking for some new public transit headphones after some asshole stole my MDR-1A at work. I take the train for 2 hours a day, so I want something closed, something isolated with a bass kick.
I'm thinking ATH MSR7 or ATH ATH-WS1100iS (Found a pair for $130), going to try B&O H6 2nd Gen in store later this week.
>recommend me a second pair of headphones

Why even counter his claim when you don't actually own any headphones near its price range?
Thanks senpai
Sennheiser HD600s
What country dumbass?
Romania you poopoo head
Do people actually use open headphones in public? How truly alpha to make other people listen to Vocaloid remixes as you rock back and forth in your seat.
Hey guys, what headphones do you recommend I purchase to compliment my new bad dragon dildo?
I meant mostly in accessories not replacements along the road
Because I'm not the one constantly shilling headphones I don't own?
Sennheiser hd600 Headphones because it suits the audience that appeals too :^)
HD 558. Ignore the 559; they're worse
Why even make that claim when you don't actually own any bad dragon dildos near its price range?
Sorry, that was for the other user. No idea about your situation
I want to buy a Dell monitor but their monitors usually don’t have an headphone jack and only have an Audio line-out port.
I’ll only be using it with under $50 in-ear headphones. What’s a cheap good desktop headphone amplifier with volume control that i can buy?
Save up. HD 600
guess fucking what? It's pic related, nigger
Fulla 2 is a great starter desktop amp and it has a line in.
Fiio E10K
Isn't there anything cheaper than this?
Seems a bit overkill to use with $50 in-ear headphones.
That's not what i asked, and i don't like headphones, only in-ear headphones.
fuck you, buy the HD600s anyway faggot
Only shitposting, user
I just ordered a pair of Bose QC 35.
Did I dun goof'd?
user, read the fucking thread. You're going to get shat on because:
1. Those are not HD600
2. They are Bose
I have a Dell monitor with an audio line out and used a $10 Koss VC20 volume control for a while. It worked fine but the quality was mediocre. I recommend getting an amp if you can afford it.
Buy the HD 600s, goy! The 6 gorillion calls for it!
>Isn't there anything cheaper than this?
>Seems a bit overkill to use with $50 in-ear headphones.
Wait for the Monoprice dac/amp to drop to $70 again?
Why the fuck can't you just use your mobo if you're that fucking skint?
If you really need active noise cancellation, then no. Just know that ANC is only good for certain kinds of sounds tho, it's not gonna block that squealing bitch in the next cubicle.
Literal botnet-tier/10, but you aren't going to get better noise cancelling headphones
>Why the fuck can't you just use your mobo if you're that fucking skint?
Because i also want to connect a Playstation 3 and other devices to it and want to get audio from the Audio line-out port.

>Meze 99 Neo
Something about the way they look makes me intensely dislike them.
>380 Pro
Tried them, don't work for me as a mobile pair, get really hot.
>Custom Studio
Looks interesting. Any reason for that edition vs the Custom One Pro or Custom Street?
If I currently like my K7xx and its sound, would I like the HD700 as well? I'm looking for something that's more comfortable for longer periods of time.
Do you routinely fuck your ears with tiny treble dildos? If so, enjoy the HD700, otherwise, try elsewhere.
Bose is shit. Their whole company is build around 'secret technologies' and non existant testing. There is probably 5-10$ worth of chinese components in a 100$ bose heasphone
Any recommendations? I do enjoy my k7xx, but I want something "more" if that makes sense.
>Custom One Pro
They're not bad for V-Shaped cans and are very sensitive, use the same drivers as the DT770i though don't sound has good as the Custom Studio/DT770 80 Ohm.
>Custom Street
If you want on ears, it's there but I would get the HD25 for on ears.
Maybe look into planars?
Anyone here have experience with the Oneodio studio pro? Looks nice but not sure how good it is.
what is the closed equivalent to HD600?
I need help deciding on an amp and dac for my hd650s. Ive narrowed it down to schiit stack or NFB 11.28. But im still open for other options.budget is ~ $500
Schiit stack is brilliant for the 600/650. No idea on the NFB ut it seems like a bit of a meme maybe? either way it's fucking massive.
Complete ignorant here. Let's say I buy good headphones and an amp to power them properly, what is then the best way to connect the amp to my PC to access all of my music?
Objective 2 + HiFimeDIY Sabre ES9023.
...
Aren't they just part of the botnet if you have the Bose app installed?
magni 2 + mobo audio vs fulla 2 for dt990 250ohm. or something else? dont feel like spending an arm and a leg
Asked for IEM recs the other day, finally found some KZ ZS5's. Now I ask: how do you make these more comfy? are foam tips better than the rubber ones? The upgrade cables would make the sound even better, right?
Can someone recom

Razer Kraken 7.1 usb. It did it's job but it had a major issue : it is SO LOUD, like, actually too loud. I can't start a new game / video without lowering the volume to 4/100. It is a nightmare toi balance and I would like the new one to be a lot more quiet

Ath-ad900x and a vmoda boom pro/antlion modmic.
Ditch the gamer shit. They look fancy but you would start regretting them after hearing better headphones.
Why don't they make them from metal? It'd only cost them like $2 extra per unit. Cheap fucks.
This.
Detachable mics are a much better option quality wise.
because you can charge $100 for an official Sennheiser headband when it breaks.
why bother and spend $20000 extra on 10000 units just to satisfy 1% of the customers when plastic is good enough for most situations?
mass production is a blessing and a curse
20k is pennies. That's probably how much their janitor makes in a year.
I tried pic related.
i think it's just placebo, maybe my tinnitus is slightly better?
I didn't see any earwax chunks come out of my ear though, did it just get dissolved completely by the peroxide? My other concern was that if it didn't work at all because I applied the drops but there was an air bubble in my ear so it never actually cleaned the eardrums.
well no my point was that penny pinching is a huge thing with mass production or anything mass. There will be other things they can save money on, and it'll all add up to big cash.
our workplace switched to shitty cheap pens from god-tier gel pens just so they could save like millions nation-wide.
The upgrade cable will not sound better, I bought it just for the looks. I haven't tried the stock cable to compare because I know it's pointless. Changing the tips changes the sound. Mess around with some until you find the best fit/sound. The stock medium size were better than around 10 other pairs I tried, including a nice foam pair.
For me it's the zs5. The best budget iem.
Their soundbar addons (like $10) do have headphone jack, but you're better off using your computer's headphone jack or getting a cheap amp+dac like the schiit fulla 2.
Sennheiser HD600. That's the one to get if you can afford them, and your budget says yes.

Not him but they are very good for gaming. The soundstage isn't wide but they have great positional accuracy.
