my fucking dick

Best /hpg/

could extremely shitty $3 rca to 3.5mm cables be capping amp volume by being extremely shitty i don't see how that's possible but schiit told me it is

Idol trash here with HD600 + schiit 2u stack.
What's your setup like, user?

What are the second best headphones behind the HD600?

stop i have a headache

In b4 MODS ARE GODS.

Lay off the lewd, /hpg/. If I wanted that shit, I'd go to /h/.

idol trash, you owe me for being your knight in shining armor. when are you going to post qt programming socks?

that's positively pornographic

there's a solution user.

what is the second best headphone behind the ma900?

No, I like the lewd.

>ma900
Low fidelity garbage. No sub-bass. No upper mids.

They're covered. Not porn.

Everyone LIKES lewd, but there's a time and a place...and /hpg/ is neither.

...

Not possible.

The autists who make the OPs are new as fuck and don't realize that.

Unfortunately I don't own any. I actually do the programming thing barefoot and bareleg (I typically am in short sleeved pajama @ home, even if temps are below 0C). Clothes are generally itchy and annoying, I'm too autistic for them.
I doubt even the feet fans that post all these feet OPs I don't actually hate would like to see my hairy legs. At least I'm not fat I guess.
Me too. I took an aspirin earlier and slept 3h during the evening and I'm better, but still N.G. Shortly, after I finish my idol rhythm game session, I'll go back to bed again.

Aww, I hope that you feel better, Idol trash!

>but there's a time and a place
Nonsense

You type like a retard. Fuck off.

Posting a final Rtings measurements with great channel matching before I go to bed.
I didn't cheat by posting IEMs: rtings.com/headphones/reviews/bose/soundlink-on-ear
And remember kids: HD 650 do NOT have good quality control despite what the Sennshill by the name of PLEBSPOTTERS will tell you.

>Not /e/

>I doubt even the feet fans that post all these feet OPs
I don't feet post or like feet but when in rome, right?

>the Sennshill by the name of PLEBSPOTTERS
wew lad

This OP is pretty tame, one of the last few threads had a blatant visible vagoo and the mods did nothing about it.

Anyway, post what you're listening to and the headphones you're using.

Andromeda-user here and still hooked on Tears for Fears lately: youtube.com/watch?v=Z1NP9aHqRGU

you got a chuckle out of me.

>This OP is pretty tame, one of the last few threads had a blatant visible vagoo and the mods did nothing about it.
even that one was pretty tame. pic related was another OP

>rtings

I hope so too. It's looking like it'll be a shitty day at work; I'm automating the deployment of some client's application, so far I've massaged it to run by hand, and while I can make it run with some magic, them fuckers didn't package it properly and it isn't really maintainable. Tomorrow I have to both script the deployment and get the client to understand what they need to fix for things to be proper. Fuck that shit.
llsif done, mirishita done, couldn't fc even a single damn song in llsif (playing expert/technical in the event, I generally fc at least half of the time), now the plan was to deresute which I saved for last (and I actually do feel like deresute), but the server is fucking down for maintenance. FML.
I'll hang around for a while more then go back to bed.

>I hope so too. It's looking like it'll be a shitty day at work;
atleast you weren't stuck compiling all day like I was yesterday bisecting a regression. thank fuck I own a 32 core

>Anyway, post what you're listening to and the headphones you're using.
HD600.

Nice!
These are from HappinessCharge Precure and Hyouka, respectively.
Excellent taste, user/s.
Bisecting fucking sucks, but so does fighting with making shitty applications written by clueless code monkeys work on a somewhat sane environment.

What do?

What else but think deep and hard about poor decisions and what direction you're taking in your life, user.

Friendly reminder all headphones come with their potential factory locked.
To unlock them, an amp is necessary.

tfw when the ma900 now costs $300+ used and they are just getting even more expensive

ebay.com/itm/SONY-MDR-MA900-headphone-Free-Shipping-Tracking-Number-Audio-Japan-USED/263371609419?epid=114798383&hash=item3d522bd54b:g:CLUAAOSwytJaKMem

Try returning them, and if you have the same issue, learn from your mistake and stick to cables or buy a model purported to have much longer charge life.

I guess my HD600 must be factory unlocked because it sounds flawlessly without an amp via my onboard soundcard :^)

Source of image?
Google/wait didn't help.

Is that a lot? What was the original MSRP (ballpark if you're not sure)? 300 dollarydoos is pretty mild if they're as good as everyone keeps saying they are.

Don't forget the $100 aftermarket cable.

They went for around $200 new before they were discontinued.

I got mine for $150 used, they were like $200 or $300 MSRP and the new ones cost $400-800 now

Wait don't worry, I'm a retard who didn't look hard enough. It's Blend S.

HD580
Blend S
Mafuyu a best.

They do sound great on any source, but you seriously do have to unlock that potential and really make your eardrums sing to the fully restored original signal. I'd suggest a jotunheim, for a fully balanced unlock.
A must, to go fully balanced.
Sigh, my brain isn't really working anymore.
I'll brush my teeth now and go to sleep.
Bonus song: youtube.com/watch?v=EVQj9CZo_yE

Not bad. If you're looking to get out, better sell them before the bubble bursts!

Next time just Google what the latest FOTM garbage series is and you'll find it in no time.

>They do sound great on any source, but you seriously do have to unlock that potential and really make your eardrums sing to the fully restored original signal. I'd suggest a jotunheim, for a fully balanced unlock.
Not sure if being sarcastic or if the poster is actually retarded. :^/

>better sell them before the bubble bursts!
no... they are becoming more expensive as they become more scarce. there is no bubble

He thinks doubling the output impedance = unlocking them

>Being this assmad about cute girls

Is KZ ATE still the go-to meme budget earphone? I really liked mine but it finally broke after a year.

>being a normalfag

idol trash, did you fall for the balanced cable jew?

how a meme is Arctis 7?
thinking getting one

But that's where you're wrong! They'll go up in value, but as more people acquire them, there are fewer people willing to spend that much. That's also assuming that Sony doesn't put out a spiritual successor, which will undoubtedly cost less than some niche, discontinued model. That's how the bubble bursts.

Educate yourselves benchmarkmedia.com/blogs/application_notes/audio-myth-balanced-headphone-outputs-are-better

>being sarcastic
The balanced part was. The amp wasn't. They really do sound better with a decent amp. A jotunheim is bad value and definitely lacking in brightness next to a magni 3. I'm talking about the power led.
>the poster is retarded
A little autistic, but reasonably functional in society.

Good night.

>Liking cute anime girls doing cute things is somehow normalfag

This guy clearly wants to buy up our MA900s.
Blend S is a solid third place this season behind Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou and Kino no Tabi.

Yes you're a fucking casual and need to leave.

Wrong on all counts, Houseki no Kuni is the best thing airing by a mile. SSR is reddit-tier shit that appeals to the Made in Abyss normies and Blend S is the Oreimo-tier garbage of the season. The only thing worse than Blend S is Apocrypha.

>Sangatsu no lion not AOTS
MA900 owners confirmed for shit taste in anime.

do we need to have another talk?

>SHAFT
Miss me with that Shinbou crap

Go back to your gay manime.

Blend S is a disgrace to cute girls doing cute things anime

Why?

Because it's a terrible series.

Disqualified for any status but shit.
>not CGDCT
Disqualified for AOTS status.

Idol trash posting from bed.
The best is definitely Love Live Sunshine S2.
Ballroom is excellent taste.
Imouto and Blend S are quite entertaining. The former is more refined taste, the latter is pleb AF, but I'm definitely enjoying both.
Evil or Live and Ousama Game are laughable at how lame they are, I'm not sure why I watch them.
Other than that, I'm watching osake fufu and 3-gatsu no lion s2.

>3DCG
>Disqualified for any status but shit.
You poor baby. Somebody you'll learn of your mistakes.
>Love Live Sunshine S2
Lol no, not in a million years.
>Ballroom
Not watching but should have probably picked up
>Imouto and Blend S
Both fucking awful and maximum pleb tier.

meant to quote

But why?
Just saying it's terrible doesn't convince me.

>cookie cutter character archetypes are accentuated to the point where it's what the show is about
>annoying seiyuu everywhere
>trashy ost and meme-tier op
Now this isn't a valid point against the anime itself but it attracted the worst fanbase in the community, hence the oreimo tier.

I strongly recommend the orig Love Live.
It awakened the idol trash in me.
Zzz.

I've seen the original and S2, the movie and the first sunshine. I can't take anymore, the only good part of it is the character CGI during the performances. The music is bad and the plots are corny, the forced melodrama is annoying and the only likeable characters are the idol's mothers and Eli after her character development.

>not loving umi

How could you love the biggest drama queen of the series? She was the Chihaya of Love Live, acting incredibly self centered and dishing out her problems on everyone else.

Oh yeah and that Maki figure from last thread reminded me of how terrible her 'recruitment' arc was, she spends a few episodes sayind she refuses to join, then suddenly Hanayo joins and she follows suit without any hesitation.

>not loving chihaya, either
wtf is wrong with you. These are the best girls!

Let me guess you also liked the Chihaya clone from CG who pulled exactly the same shit as her.

>not liking shimamu
wtf? shimamu a cute!!
disclaimer: haven't seen s2 yet.
she isn't my cg fav tho. I favor kaede, kanade, sae and anzu.
droid off, sleep time

>kaede, kanade
At least you have some form of decent taste hidden among the not so good.

why

I dunno, macbooks suck

DT770 or DT880, closed or open respectively.

wireshark joke?

A lot of reviews I'm seeing say you'd probably want the higher ohm ones with a decent amp. I guess that's my next search query.

Thanks, guy.

Yeah avoid the 32ohm models, the 80ohm DT770 are fine, otherwise 250ohm is probably what you should go for. 600 is unnecessarily hard to drive and doesn't really have much benefit.

i'm not going to lie, the way those pads touch on the 007 is sexy. it reminds me of two pairs of titties pressed up against each other

How is the game anyway?
