Has headphones reached a plateau?

When wil you Gaiafaggot entry tier casuals stop posting shitty anime?

>see guize i remember gb2gaia!!
>arent i kool?? xxddDD
>fugg animee!!
Have you tried Discord? There are many great communities hosted on it that might suit you better than the technology board's headphone discussion thread on an anime website.

It's incredibly unlikely that headphones will not improve.
GabDro was the second best anime of its season behind Maid Dragon.

Go back to Gaia with your casual tier "I started watching anime in 2017" taste.
>GabDro was the second best anime of its season behind Maid Dragon.
You too.

While i don't really care about it, i must say it's curious that Op will go out of his way to have specific pics that show both Anime, headphones AND feet.

Post headphones

>spends hundreds of dollars on headphones
>uses a five dollar camera

Bad headphones, even.

no iam using this i love it, it's my favorite possession

my gr07c with removable cable will be here friday :D

Sure.
Currently selling L2 and AD900X.

Let's see yours.

Are the 1770's good headphones?

What is the second best headphone behind the HD600?

>Are the 1770's good headphones?
Better off with a dt770 really

No.

>Pic not related

They're shit, but that's a given with Beyerdynamic.

This.

Using mdr-1A Sony headphones here ..

>not made with a dummy head

Useless measurements.

Where to go from the MDR 7506. Hpg got me good with that one. Any headphone that doesn't pierce your ears and has a soundstage bigger than a marble

Need a new pair of regular use headphones.
Mostly used at my desktop
Budget is under 100 USD
Using some Sennheiser 518s right now. They've been good to me.

Thinking of getting Philips SHP9500
Wondering if there's anything worthwhile in the price range.

>canpicker.com/
add the k612 its the best akg headphone

>Hpg got me good with that one
Not really the general's fault if you don't do your research before buying.

fill out the form

SHP9500S and HD558 are the go-to picks under $100.

Can't go wrong with Grado if you're staying indoors and there's no one in your vicinity to drive utterly insane.

Hey guys long time no see

So the DAP came today, so far so good. Listened to a few tracks off tidal and it sounds great. Lots of storage too. The digital filter switcher is nifty as fuck

>Can't go wrong with Grado
Unless you want good sounding, comfortable headphones.

That much noise leaks?
What's the model I should look out for and how's it compare to the SHP9500

>dedicated DAP
>not using your phone in public

This is almost as bad as the virgin using the 3DS in public. Jesus.

Don't use my waifu as OP, thanks.

What are you, poor? Lmao

Nah, my cellphone is measurably transparent and has an output impedance of

What phone do you own?

A smartphone.

>That much noise leaks?

All the noise leaks, if you can hear it, anyone else in the room will be able to too. If that's not a problem, SR80.

Don't get Grados. They're literally tuned for old people with high frequency hearing loss. The treble is deafening. They also make your ears sore after a while like any on-ear headphones.

Model?

>not only recommends terrible headphones but also recommends the identically terrible sounding SR80 over the cheaper, identical sounding SR60
Stop posting.

Samsung.

Model, you dumb gook

my Google pixel doesn't have enough storage for my music, so I wanted a separate solution. I like it a lot.

I honestly don't know if troll or dumb... probably both...

Galaxy.

Evening Sup Forums

>hey guys check it out I overpaid for a stanalone DAC

Almost there, Ramesh

What's in the bottle?

>14 posters

Right now, /hpg/ is the least populated general on Sup Forums and is often filled with shitposting.

How do we make /hpg/ friendlier to other Sup Forums users such that we can have high quality discussions with minimal shitposting?

Green tea.

And you would not believe how much they charged for two short RCAs.

I'm looking for some high quality cable rests, what does Sup Forums recommend?

...

>he gets interference from the earth
>his sound isn't the purest it can be

diamonds, obviously

I hope you're taping Brilliant Pebbles to those cables too, user.

I can't remember.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do diamonds even come in that size?

What the fuck is a brilliant pebble?

Dirty poorfag :^)

What headphones do you own?

machinadynamica.com/machina31.htm

Oh, sounds like snake oil. I keep my stereo system inside of a farraday cage anyway, no need for that.

innerfidelity.com/images/WalMartThreeDollarBuds.pdf

Notice the lush warm midrange response around 300Hz and the flat treble response from 2kHz to 10kHz.

Not everyone can afford that. Pic + timestamp?

I-I'm listening to them right now. Why should I take them off for you?

>anime website

>no replies

Yep, everyone wants to shitpost about tinny and veiled, no bass, etc.

Sorry I asked.

Take a selfie for me, you cutie patootie ;)

>Anime website
The problem is your shit taste. Quick, recommend me an anime without autistic colourful banshees!

Those have a really nice flat impedance curve.
>my powerlevel is not high enough to appreciate cute girls doing cute things anime

Grill la Chill

>I literally have no variety in my anime

Legend of the Galatic Lolis

Kek. You were that poor user who recommended me Milky Holmes, weren't you?

Take a look at these and learn from your shit taste. Grill la Chill is my personal favorite.

>identical sounding SR60

>deaf fag
>making headphone recommendations

Nope. But that's another complex anime to check out.

HD580
Boku no Pico

Shit tastes with no variety

Another example. Really nice anime with an upbeat and heartwarming life lesson.

it's the peak of anime. nothing will ever live up to it.

Gotta find out who burnt my steak.

Ignore this idiot, she has no idea what she's talking about.

The ones you own. Post 'em, fagafang

What is the third best headphone manufacturer behind Sennheiser and Etymotic and what is the third best anime studio behind KyoAni and Doga Kobo?

...

Panasonic, based on your top two, I'm assuming we're talking about solid low-tier manufacturers.

>seasonal

your powerlevel is "i have a crunchyroll subscription" tier

Are the Custom Studios any good?

I'm so fucking excited.
Only $500 for hd700 drivers in hd650.

Yes; much better than DT770.

I'm considering buying them for Christmas. Does it require a Dac/AMP? Sorry if it's obvious, I'm not knowledgeable about headphones.

My pair of earbuds recently broke. well they didn't break but one of them doesn't have sound anymore. can I fix this in some way? I don't want to have to buy another pair. these costed 6.95 USD. and I don't want to spend money if I can fix them with my home stuff. can somebody help me?

Onboard sounds and portables/phones vary, but short answer is probably not. Try them first without a DAC/amp. If they're loud enough and not audibly hissy/noisy, you don't need a DAC/amp.

Alright. Thank you!

>hd700
does anyone have measurements of these raw because the hd700 were garbage and nobody seems to know how much of that can be attributed to the enclosure/pads

here

>The HD 660 S features a new transducer design developed by Sennheiser.
So, not HD700 drivers.

Thank god.
