What's the second best headphone behind the MA900?

well well what do we have here?

What's the best amp for the SR-009?

No headphones user?

since no one responded to me in the other thread. I'm looking for good isolation and comfortable enough to wear all day at work. currently considering Mr. Speakers Aeon or MDR-Z7?

My current headphones I like are HD600, M40x, m1060 (fazor and back foam and grill mod). I don't really like dt770 250ohm too v shaped.

What is a good replacement headband cushion for my HD280s? Had them for a while, and the stock one has this issue where it won't zipper up all the way.

Yes! It finally arrived! I honestly wonder what they were thinking when making and testing this thing.

Oppo PM3 is your best bet.

Why are you so obsessed with this user? Post your setup

Bad headphones.

Absolutely disgusting.

Anything is better than the footfag /hpg/ OPs.

I am the proud owner of the smuggest AMP on Earth.

This thing is pretty sick too, zero static or popping. Even with high gain on and it turned up all the way. Knob is fantastic too. Just all around buttery smooth, clean audio.

Inverse beyers.

Ahh, no headphones user! I think it's your turn to post your setup! I think we've had this conversation before. Turns out, they aren't bassy at all, especially compared to my HD 598 and SHP9500S.

No idea why you'd use that. I personally think these look more correct in comparison to what i've heard.

I don't think he's deaf. His head is probably weirdly shaped so he can't get a good seal with them.

Maybe in a few years once he outgrows Pepe and it becomes the outdated Peanut Butter Jelly Time of its time, he'll feel regret at ruining a $350 amp/dac with a meme.

I'm also wondering why you wouldn't post raw. But forget about that, post your headphones!

Fried chicken and purple drank: the headphone. Plus Beats.

No headphones user... Why reply to your post instead of mine?

Nice. I like it.
I did not respond to my own post. Why did you forget your meds?

Sennheiser HD 600.

Any other answer is objectively wrong.

Why don't you own it?

Maybe I own it, maybe I don't.

My post is still correct.

If I were going full/pol/ I'd personally get a windmill of friendship or the 56% face or something but I feel like they wouldn't do that.

Maybe? But you didn't answer my question

whats a good mid priced closed headphone

Defined "mid priced"

According to reddit, it's a white supremacist icon. They wouldn't touch it for miles

XPT100, CB1, M40x, etc.

Looking for an amp for hd6xx/hd650.
Currently in Australia. Massdrop has an o2 for 95 usd but more recent amps such as the magni 3 seem more enticing.

Any sub 400 usd suggestions?

Whoops, forgot to respond to the first post

This thread has the best anime porn.

I've been using Koss KSC75 for a few months now. They're excellent, highly recommended. They're a bit bright though, I use EQ to reduce treble.

>this is what /r/pol/ actually believes
Sup Forums is basically reddit at this point

HD6xx finally shipping lads
what should i expect

Narrow soundstage, mid-bass bloat without much extension, surprisingly smooth treble. They're also dark headphones, so expect a type of "veiled" sound if you've been listening to brighter headphones

Pretty much. Really the same goes for any site's Sup Forums board, but then when you have edgy extremist views, what do you expect?

How the fuck do I clean my HD 598 earpads? Its supposed to be removable but I have no idea how. I cant find a single video on youtube of cleaning or replacing the earpads. Theyre so grimy.

STOP LEWDING THE PENGUIN

are wireless headphones good yet? i'm looking at sennheiser hd1s for example.

What bluetooth soundemitters should I get for my new phone? This no 3.5mm jack meme has to end.

can headphones bottleneck bitrate?

I kind of want a new portable that's easier to fix up than my V-Modas.

This

yes
i recommend overclocking your headphones for best performance

I just bought a pair of HD599. I think they're a refined version of the old meme 598, now with actual bass and highs that don't sound like you're 30 meters away from the source. I'm very pleased with them. Now I think I should get rid of my other headphones, namely the open 598 and the closed 598cs. How much do you think they're worth used in mint conditions?

>he fell for a no headphone jack memephone

You have nobody to blame but yourself for perpetrating the meme, faggot.

>buying a phone with no headphone jack

STICK IT IN HER PENGUIN POOPER

Sister wants bluetooth earphones for the gym. Sub £30.

Sennheiser HD201 yes or no?
If not than what else? I have limited budget.

Chesus you can even see some excessive engraving on the bottom, I bet you gave them low quality image ass well.

Grape-kun didn't die for this

Anime feet are awesome. Kill yourself.

I think you are retarded for upgrading from one entry level headphone to another entry level headphones that sounds almost the same, but that's just me.
Happy to hear you are pleased with purchase.

The 598 is not entry level and the 599 is even better, definitely not entry level. To get anything better than the 599 you'd have first of all to splurge 2x the price for something like the hd600 and then an additional 100 bucks for an amp because 300ohm.

>To get anything better than the 599 you'd have first of all to splurge 2x the price for something like the hd600
Any k6 or k7 series AKG headphone is magnitudes better than HD5xx series senshit, so you are wrong.
HD5xx are good if you get them around $99 price tag or less.

>Any k6 or k7 series AKG headphone is magnitudes better than HD5xx series senshit, so you are wrong.

Please tell me which AKG open headphone is better than sennshit. I owned the AKG K702 some time ago, I don't fully remember them other than the fact they had nobass whatsoever, and overemphasized treble. I liked that sound for everything except EDM (I listen to some japanese doujin trance shit, uplifting trance, goa, and something else) and the absolute lack of bass and sharp treble made me sell them in favor of the 598. The 599 has a tighter bass with better sub bass than the 598 and more direct treble so it sounds closer to the sound (I never really liked the tunnel like soundstage of the 598, the 599 has a sphere like soundstage that I prefer).

Also, K702 required an amp or it sounded muffled from what I remember, it's the reason why I bought the FiiO E10k. Nowdays I don't really want to lug around an amp and the Senn 5x series sounds ok out of a phone.

Are there any wireless earphones worth a damn?

Guys, I need your help. I used to enjoy headphones just fine but lately I developed some weird issue in my ears, basically, after a while I use headphones even at moderate volume (I never use high volume), my ears muffle up and I feel like they're full of earwax or some shit but they're perfectly clean, and then I start to get fatigue even at very low volumes. If I still use the headphones despite this, the feeling of fullness remains for the entire day and maybe even the day after and every time I swallow or yawn my ears click and clear for a moment but then they're muffled again.

What the fuck is happening and should I see a doctor?

This happens with every single headphone I have including earbuds. Meanwhile some of my colleagues rock their nigger Beats and other shit tier headphones at max volume and nothing seems to happen to them; I once tried on a pair of wireless beats straight out of their phone at the same volume they were using and I had to take them off immediately because the volume was maxed out, and he used max volume just fine.

All of them. Starting from k612, through k702 up to k7xx/712.

>it's the reason why I bought the FiiO E10k
No wonder k702 lacked in bass for you, AKG headphones can't be powered out of garbage. Should have bought real AMP. I agree with sharp treble but that's AKG sound, you like it or dislike it.

Sounds like your ears were injured and are still sensitive. Could have as much to do with pressure (do you use noise-cancelling headphones?) as with volume.

Nigga I don't have unlimited money for autistic shit like this. The E10k costed me like 120€ on top of the headphones and that was already overkill and a huge annoyance when using portable devices.

...Specifically, it sounds like your ears are experiencing inflammation, which is heat and swelling in response to irritation.

You can be more or less prone to inflammation depending on your general state of health and especially your diet.

Fug. I better see a doctor then. I literally feel like I have water in my ears, and experience the same type of click followed by clearer hearing when I yawn, but it doesn't last long.

Some reading. Best of luck, user.

>Anime feet are awesome. Kill yourself.
imagine typing this out as an adult male

how are you not embarrassed deeply as a human being and keep going on huffing air?

>and I had to take them off immediately because the volume was maxed out, and he used max volume just fine.
Be happy you couldn't listen to full volume. Your friend's probably fucked up his hearing to such degree that full volume doesn't seem like much anymore.

But yeah, if that weird feeling in your ears persists, go see a doctor.
It could also be caused by a flu or something (I've had that a couple times myself, cleared up on its own in a couple of day), but if it has been like that for longer than a few days, it's worth getting it checked.

>jerks over chinese cartoons

left tiddy noticeably bigger than right tiddy

Idol trash here.
What's your setup like, user?
I'm looking into getting MSR7 for that purpose. Currently watching for sales via camel^3.
I'm not very satisfied with my HD380 Pro. I also looked into more expensive audio technicas, but their FR plots shown them as very obviously worse, unfortunately. MSR7 seems like their only sane option past m40x.

!

The HD599 are just expensive HD579 with identical FR and some bass flaw that makes reviewers prefer the latter.
If you're spending that much, go HD600 already.

Magni3, xmas edition?

Paired with HD600, the best headphones in the market. Cool.
