what is the second best headphone behind the ma900?

Poorly sealed MA900

garbage sub-bass, scooped upper midrange
literally dogshit soyboy headphones for degenerates

post your headphones

Your cue to post your headphones

>buying headphones for more than $5 makes you a soyboy
thanks for the laugh, maybe once your wallet isn't as thin as your arms you'll be able to afford actual headphones

What is the second best headphone behind the HD600?

Wrong headphones at the wrong time, no headphones user!
Which are , obviously.

STAX SR-009.

pic+timestamp

nows the time where you finally post pictures to prove that you own headphones so we can know that your opinion is credible

Now post a pic + timestamp of your setup, you dumb Sennheiser shill

>replying to yourself

Of course not, user. I'm not a filthy graph reader with no headphones

prove it :)

>graphs are bad

After you :)
Especially after you :))

>Now I consider Sennheiser the world's best headphone manufacturer.
>mfw Sennhaters

>mfw the IP count didn't change after this post
Nice try though, no headphones user

From the same article
>My first question to Sennheiser went unanswered...so did the second...and third...and fourth...

>I have no idea why Sennheiser likes that linear run-up to the 3kHz peak. Nor do I know where the 4-5kHz trough/peak is coming from. In the absence of a definitive answer from Sennheiser I'm left to speculate.

Those headphones all measure like ass.

ZMF soyboys BTFO.

Stop samefagging

I find it ironic that the person I imagine saying the word "soyboy" is an overweight, pimple covered male with c cup titties.

>affordable

I would rather be an overweight, pimple covered male with c cup titties than a tripfag who LARPs on an anime image board and pretends to be knowledgeable about audio.

>doesn't try to defend being a tubby grease guzzling pimple faced virgin

>rather be
you are though. I would take the librarians advice and take a shower too.

I'd also rather own headphones than not, but that would be straying off topic

You forgot being a ponyposter with chinkshit headphones and a chinkshit amp.

This.

I'm in a predicament.

Want to get the HD800 because they fucking rock but... have that 6hz impedance and what not.

Also want to get the HD800S because they are "balanced" but have bass distortion.

What do?

Now i've lost track. Which one of you is no headphones user?

tfw all those headphone pads alone cost more than your $5 earphones

Bass distortion isn't audible unless it's absurdly high.

>only two of the headphones are broken in this picture
dude post your headphones.

bass distortion really isn't that big of a deal, it's hitting xmax you need to be more concerned about

There's nothing wrong with $5 headphones if you know how to EQ. Hell there's $5 earphones that measure better than garbage like the Atticus as seen here: . What a laughable measurement for an $1100 headphone.

Will I be better off getting the HD800 and modding them?

>he fell for the bait
fucking kek

>modding
Waste of time, Use EQ.

Nothing wrong with owning that, but not even you have that, you silly goose

This guy gets it.
Why is Hotaru so much better than Saya?

>I blew $1100 of my welfare dollars on shit headphones that measure poorly
>must justify my poor purchasing decision on an anime imageboard

>You've been spending the past 40 minutes shitposting about your personal bogeyman
>You don't even own headphones yourself

>be schizophrenic, homeless fuckwad
>be off meds
>decide to shitpost on a headphone general while not owning any headphones from the public library
>librarian keeps telling you to take a shower
>you still dont listen.

>fingers so fat and weak
>not used to new keyboard, found it in the dumpster in the back
>still a little sticky and needs to be cleaned
>miss and actually type two 0s and 1s instead of one

Low IP count /hpg/ is the best and comfiest /hpg/.

>when 3 of the 5 soyboys responds to your posts
Thanks for the (you)s.
Also, posting world's best headphone.

A thing of beauty

At least you admitted to samefagging

daily reminder that SBAF is an audio cult

Posting your """headphones""" with a timestamp written on paper would be the next logical decision

and so is /hpg/

most of it is one user who forgot to take his meds

yeah that zmf user is pretty annoying

Only ComfyGrados

HD580

Nice try, no headphones user

massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x-akg-m220-pro-headphones

are these any good for a first pair of headphones?

Solid choice for the price.

Speak for yourself.

Bought hd6xxs secondhand. Is there a way for me to check their authenticity?

bend the headband, if it snaps it's a sennheiser

Just follow whatever the fuck Head-Fi says in this thread

head-fi.org/threads/is-this-hd650-genuine-or-fake.850297/

I posted in the last thread like a mong. This is not sennheiser troll/spam/whatever..

I've got HD 600 for home use which I'm not looking to replace.
I want a pair for gym use. I won't be listening to SACD while exercising. Predominately audiobooks, but maybe use for general music use.

Other requirements:
1. Won't fall out of ears
2. Won't struggle from sweat.
3. Wireless would be beneficial

I looked through Joker's IEM spreadsheet and he recommends MEE M6 and Audio-Technica CKX5

amazon.com/MEE-audio-Sport-Fi-Isolating-Headphones/dp/B0038W0K2U

amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias=electronics&field-keywords=Audio-Technica ATH-CKX5

Is there an 'approved' gym list? Are there alternatives to IEMs?
Searching through the list these have a high rating and amazon shills says they are decent for gym. Thoughts?
amazon.com/RHA-MA750-Isolating-Premium-Headphone/dp/B00ELAM8LE

alright, ordered them
thanks

well looks like the tascam th-02 got lost, oh well

>tfw want to buy a pair of wireless headphones so I can take a shit without having to take my headphones off and listen to the sound of silence

Are these reliable measurements of TH-02? Seems too good to be true.
How do new pads affect the sound?

hold in your poop for a little while until you're about to burst, prefire your shits so when you're sitting down on the toilet you're already shitting. timing is key because if you do it too soon you'll miss and make a mess. the second you sit down fully explode your asshole and let it rip.

now you've taken a 5 second poop and just need to wipe and you're good to go

>figure I'll get shilled bluetooth headphones or given silly advice like "get a 15m cable that reaches your shithouse"
>instead get advice on how to shit
/hpg/ - Hold Poop General

Get a 15m cable that reaches your shithouse.
>wireless headphones
Absolutely disgusting.

Do I want to know what a "shithouse" is?

zmf shill confirmed for living in a ghetto neighborhood

Don't think we forgot about you, user. Where are your Tascams?

I sent a couple hundred in gear to my friend a month ago and it finally arived today, my packages just get lost all the time. I feel so awful about the tascam getting lost oh man my heart is broken

You don't actually shit in the house you live in, do you?

of which ethnicity are you?

>Some people actually excrete bodily waste in their own dwelling
s m h

Any reccomendations for IEMs that don't have microphonics/thudding noise when walking?

I currently have ER4-S and Nuforce HEM6 and they both make a loud thudding noise when i walk (maybe its the comply tips but i noticed it with other tips as well)

Best noise cancelling earbud/headphones for under 100 I'm looking at the adv sounds 747

Here in North America us white folk have our own designated shitting houses.

What kind of 3rd world shithouse is that? Doesn't even look earthquake resistant.

around the ear fit will have less microphonics and thudding

am i allowed to use my scarlett 2i2 as a dac?

if you don't mind a cold and harsh sound then sure

So, how's Orpheus, user?

Congratulations, you're wrong and an idiot.

johnr.hifizine.com/2012/09/focusrite-scarlett-2i2-measurements/ It seems to measure well here so I see no reason why not. I'll note one particular passage:
>Exceptional, in fact, except for the presence of a small amount of digital noise on its outputs
The measurements show this noise as quieter than -100 dB, so this is not an audible issue.

Oh look, a second FR measurement and you're still wrong and an idiot. Stop posting.
Seems to measure well enough here too: html.midifan.com/review/2i2/[MME] Scarlett 2i2 USB 2448.htm

Ask someone who owns $150 in silver audio cables anything

signalcable.com/silverresolutionanalog.html

ebay.com/itm/artemis-cables-bow-3-5mm-to-rsa-alo-ibasso-interconnect-cable-6-inch/231137160051?hash=item35d0d92b73

It should also be noted that both sets of measurements here were measured with the device's output plugged into the device's input, meaning the measurements contained THD, noise, etc. from both inputs added together. The actual performance of just the output should be better than the numbers in these measurements, which are already acceptable to begin with.

Yuck

How many times did your mother drop you on your head as a baby? How many lead paint chips did you eat as a baby?

How long did it take you to realize that the only difference you're hearing compared to a normal cable is how loud it is?

Thoughts on bone conduction?

I don't know anything conducting bones, to be honest.

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

Are the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PROs any good? They're dirt cheap right now.
