so my old Sony ps3 pulse headphones finally kicked the bucket and i want to replace them. i only used them on my pc. mostly for listening to music and watching movies late at night without bothering anybody who is trying to sleep..
what are some great wireless headphones for under $120? im not using a laptop by the way. which means i would need to buy a Bluetooth adapter. does anybody have experience using Bluetooth headphones with Bluetooth adapters? is there any lag in the audio?

What's your setup like, user?

Headband finally broke in on my Q701s today after 4 years of daily use, they're probably my favorite pair now.
Carter Peterson
shitty chink earphones finally died and want to send a bit more cash on a pair of headphones.
budget is £50-£100 ($65 - $130).
want them to be semi-closed or closed, don't really want audio leakage. no preference between wired or wireless, gonna use them with my phone and laptop for music, youtube and movies.
what get?
Hunter Cook
As an HD600 owner, I'm glad I own more than one headphone. These things get way too boring after a while and I end up going back to my thrashed and trashed K7XX or DT880 just for some life (but they make my ears throb in pain after long sessions).
William Taylor
You could see it as an opportunity for an overdue HD600 upgrade.
Or just order a headband. Which you should probably do regardless.

Open. I included these because most people are wrong thinking they need closed. Open is only an issue if you like to listen to music loudly with people in the same room (like an open office). Nobody will hear you outside the room, even if loud:

Pick according to budget and actual isolation needs.

Details on Dekoni's HD6** earpads came out, being sold through Massdrop.
massdrop.com
Elite Velour - $35
Elite Hybrid - $55 - sheepskin on the outside, velour on the ear surface, fenestrated sheepskin on the inside
Sheepskin - $60
Fenestrated Sheepskin - $65
No details on FR changes for each, unfortunately. I'm interested, but not enough to buy blind. Not even sure if I want to keep my HD6XX after it arrives, after hearing a HD 800 and falling in love.

Excess melanin might be an indicator of a health problem. Do visit the doctor!
Elijah Adams
HD 600 or HD 650

HD600. HD650 is veiled shit.
Noah Lewis
Brayden Ramirez
Ahh, the narcissism of small differences.
Alexander Young
Get HD600.
The HD650 is close to the HD600 but worse because it's dark, thus less neutral.
If you really want something darker and bassier, then the new HD660S is a better bet. It is farther from HD600, and can actually complement it.
Anthony Davis
Calm down Pablo, I'm pretty sure I'm whiter than you.
Zachary Stewart
HD 660 S release date?
Henry Hall
It's already released.
Liam Barnes
Good or trash?
Levi Parker
I've never said that there's anything wrong with being somewhat tanned.
Just that, if your melanin is increasing for no good reason, definitely visit the doctor.
Suddenly craving for bass is a worrying indicator.
Luke Edwards
Needs more measurements to determine if it's worth it. I wouldn't take the measurement done by Jude too seriously (or anything else he does for the matter).

That's a long wait, I'm too impatient to do that, I'd rather spend the extra money.

What is the second best headphone behind the HD600?
Levi Bennett
It was for my birthday and I already own decent headphones that i've been using in the meantime.
I saved $115 by being patient. I don't NEED the headphones, I just want them and being able to order myself a christmas present around my birthday worked out decently I think.

so they give priority to summer orders. fair but sucks for me, I ordered a week ago.

Yeah but if you're in the Continental US they're still thinking they'll be able to ship them all in time for Christmas delivery.

What's your HD600 like, user?
Jason Johnson
I'm between the Status Audio CB-1 and Audio-Technica ATH-M40x but I have massive monkey ears. Any know which would be better for my situation?
Xavier Perry
I need new cans.
Looking for an upgrade that's warm and a little bassy. K612, HD599/600/650 are my current options and I don't want to spend any more than that.
Fucking chinks, I swear. Are there any fixes for the rattle?
Thomas Fisher
Something Sennheiser. Roomy pads. Do you need it to be closed? If so look at HD569, HD380. Else, HD579, HD598cs/sr, HD558.
The best among these is HD600. If you can't afford that, look at HD579, not HD599. It has near identical frequency response, costs much cheaper, and while subjective, reviewers do prefer it over the HD599.
Angel Campbell
I did see the 579, just how new are they? There are literally none in New Zealand.
Chase Taylor
I don't need it to be closed. Those just seemed to be the best sub 100 headphones.
Brayden Richardson
HD650, definitely.
Daniel Nelson
Newest among the new HD5xx stuff. (599 (considered worse than 579), 579, 569 (closed), 559 (considered worse than 558))
Parker Baker
Probably the m40x. The status audio cb-1 pads are thick as fuck so they may not give your ears breathing room.
K612 or if you live in the US, he-400i has god tier bass because it's planar magnetic.
Xavier Parker
Almost the same as HD600, but worse. It does have a little more bass, but less treble, and less accurate to harman target, so worse overall.
Minimal difference, worse, more expensive. Not recommended.

The fuck is wrong with my country...
>definitely
why?
Austin Young
lmao.
Re: planars, hifiman is shit mids (i.e.: the most important) and shit QC and support. Look into the LCD-2c if you're willing to go down that path.
Dylan Foster
>harman target
Who cares?
Christian Adams
in the US it's $250, the k612 would fit your needs well. Other headphones to consider are the monoprice m1060 or if you want to get something incredible, the newest lcd-2 coming out.
>not knowing how to EQ properly
typical retard.
Levi Clark
>Who cares?
You, assuming your ears and brain are functional.
Christopher Gray
>QC
Probably the most important factor in any purchase decision in New Zealand. Getting stuff fixed usually costs the same in shipping as just buying new.
Hunter Howard
It's a subjective target, no? I don't think it has anything to do with fidelity.
Kevin Reed
yeah pretty much

What's the difference between Soundmagic ES18s and E10s? I'm currently using the ES18s with a mic because it was cheaper at the time but now the left ear is failing. Should I opt for the E10s or buy another pair of ES18s?
Camden Nelson
Do you absolutely need wireless? Wireless is worse in almost every aspect.
