Barely used AKG K7XX for $125 from my friend. Yes or no?
Idol trash here.
What's your setup like, user?
No; spend $20 more on a vastly superior, brand new HD579.
Am in Canada, so that's a no go.
HD600!
Reminder that HD 598SE are for 79.99£ on amazon uk.
Also thoughts on those Earphones?
Oh, then yes, go for it by all means. That's a fantastic deal for a Milkbagistanian.
I'd try to go for HD579 over those if you can; they are essentially an HD598 with better bass extension.
interesting general you've got here
What is the second best headphone behind the HD600?
they are literally 100 £ more atm
A non-amped HD600.
HD580
Wow, they're only $149 Americlap dollaridoos. Then sure, HD598SE are still great headphones for that price, go for it.
Pic + timestamp
It's the usual falseflagger. They definitely don't own the cans.
Just picked up a pair of Shure SE215CLEs for $1.05 at goodwill. Seeing as they typically retail for $99, did I do good?
Opinions on:
K712 Pro vs. HE4XX vs. HD579
k712 > HD579 > hifiman garbage
HD579 by far. K712 = melanin-enriched and HE4XX = terrible build and customer service.
>$1
Yeah, you did. At cup noodle price, it's definitely a good deal.
K712 Pro > HE-4XX > HD 579
If you manage to pass, HiFiMan's QC, that is
HD579 and it's not even close.
>HD 579
>Literally a sidegrade to the HD 598
>Better
It's a clear upgrade to HD598; measurements suggest it's a HD598 with vastly superior bass extension.
Not a sidegrade... it's better overall. Just not WAY better.
>An HD 598 with better bass extension
So, a sidegrade? If I owned the HD 598 right now, would I consider the HD 579?
You'd look at HD600, not another 5xx.
K712 are literally tinny and veiled bass cannons.
K712, HD579, then HE4XX
Have fun with those Assdrop wait times, if you do choose to go hifiman

Whats with all the HD600 memeing on hpg recently?
The K712 sounds the best imo, but have never tried the HE4XX. Don't listen to trolls such as and , but if you can, I would listen and compare if possible

We're just pretending until plebspotters and his IRC crew die from terminal butthurt.

Are pic related as good as innferfidelity says they are?
"Yummy and warm sounding, the 3-way balanced armature driver SE535 has great bass extension and brilliantly integrated bass and mids, with a slightly polite, but very articulate and clear treble. The ergonomics and comfort of these IEMs is excellent, and they come with a nice selection of tips."

Reference Audio Analyzer's target curve is unpublished and all kinds of fucked up in the treble. You can't take away any assumptions about a headphone's treble response from RAA graphs.
B U I L D Q U A L I T Y
I always cringe whenever Tyll describes headphones as 'yummy' or 'tasty'
Literally laffin'
>ALL CAPS

At least the headphones are awesome.
Only -10dB down at 10Hz... insane good bass extension.

THD measurements are not a reliable indicator of audibility:
gedlee.azurewebsites.net
gedlee.azurewebsites.net
> In our next paper we will show that .01% THD of one type of nonlinear system can be perceived as unacceptable while 10% THD in another example is perceived as inaudible. Even one of these simple examples is sufficient to invalidate THD as a viable metric for discussion of the perception of distortion. Furthermore, 1% THD is not at all the same as 1% IM, but we will show that neither correlates with subjective perception.
>These results supported the skepticism that THD and IMD metrics were poor predictor of subjective perception of sound quality ratings.

Kek. That doesn't really mean anything the frequency response isn't even remotely flat anywhere.
>WAAHHH REPORT THE TRIPFAG THAT DOESNT AGREE WITH MY OPINION OF A HEADPHONE I DONT OWN WAHHHH
Hmm...
ANSWER ME YOU AUTISTIC RAGING HOMO
I don't even understand the fucking question pls reword it.
Poorly sealed and thus invalid measurement.

Look into HD579.
HD579
K712 probably

Can your $300 chink shit do this?
Check mate, Snapheiser fags
Sup Forums says sennheiser is shit though
Status audio cb-1
Ath-m40x
Phillips shp9500s
Ath-ad900x
If you can splurge the extra 20 shekels and are okay with massdrop waiting times, the hifiman he-4xx is pretty kick-ass as far as value is concerned. Much better than the hd600s in almost every respect.
>Ath-ad900x
Would actually be an option, except it's AKG, so it won't be comfortable nor durable.
Definitely the HD579. There's simply nothing better at that budget.
I have been here for many years and as long as I have been here there has always been a single virulently anti-Sennheiser samefagging troll who floods literally every /hpg/ with Sennheiser hate. Sennheiser is universally loved everywhere else on the internet; this should tell you something about the Sennheiser trolling here: it's mostly one person and always has been.
Nigga, those are Audio-Technicas
Looking for closed, mobile, bluetooth headphones to use when walking around campus. I'm so tired of having to deal with cables therefore I could justify the loss in quality from BT.
Decided on and bought some k845bt's. What's Sup Forums's opinion on these?
Are you a cutie?
>recommending closed headphones to someone open to the idea of open headphones
I shiggy diggy. Open are much better for those who do not require isolation.
>SHP9500s
No bass.
>ATH-AD900x
No bass and shitty fit for everyone but the very large headed.
Terrible recommendations senpai.
>A fucking popularity contest
Kekkity kek!
The fuck was I thinking?
Yeah, ath-ad900x is an option.
>Can't tell the difference between audio Technica and akg
>Claims akg isn't durable
>Snapheiser headphones literally snap down the middle of the headband
Top fucking kek
Those look like Bluetooth K550s. If that's the case, those have well-documented sealing issues, so you may find them to be very bass-light.
>Very large head
>Le enormous head maymay
Retard. The only problem is, they don't fit asian-tier heads. Stop this meme. They sound very similar to HD 598s, bass-wise
They are a lot more bass-light than HD598.
>WAAHHH SOMEONE DOESNT LIKE SENNHEISER.
the only other place where Sennheiser is considered god tier is plebbit. Head-fi, SBAF and gear slutz have moved off the Sennheiser hype train for a while now. The reason plebbit still loves sennheiser is because plebbit emulates the older enthusiast forums and websites, so of course they love the meme600s.
My takstar pro 80's consistently impress me even though I have other more expensive headphones.
Do you think I should give the takstar pro 82's a shot? They're gorgeous
