first for akg k712 pro > hd 600/650 at a cheaper price

daily reminder all owners of the HD600 are cucks

what's the worst amp after the magni 3?

first gen asgard

thank you for tripfagging so I can block you

Can you give us any further details as to what specifically you didn't like about the GR07? We don't want to make another recommendation just to have a swing and a miss for the same reason(s).

What is the second best headphone behind the ma900?

blocked lmao

lol

HD600 + Schiit Stack is the official "I masturbate on underaged 2D girls while my ears are bleeding" setup

Outside sound signature, its there really any relevant difference between the different impedance models of the Beyerdynamic's DT-770, DT-880 and DT-990?

im replacing my broke dt990 pros for a k702, will i notice any difference? from the looks of it they should be the same but the mid range is improved.

also no more wire issues

keep samefagging you autist, It makes me hard

>blocking people
go back to twitter

What does /hpg/ think of bluetooth receivers for headphones? Would there be one that you would recommend? I was looking around for actual bluetooth headphones as I'm active at my work though always listening to something, but it seems a bit pricey for sound quality.

bluetooth 4 is as good as cables

that should not be the problem, bt is digital so there should be no loss on that respect, the problem stems from the dac that the receiver has integrated.

you would think the shiit employees would be on vacation this time of the year but no

I didn't think it was possible for one person to be this autistic. How can I get it? do you have special powers?

what are u talking about

What are the best under £50 closed-ear headphones? I need a quick replacement and I suppose that narrows it down enough. Should I just get another pair of Sennheiser 201s (or "206s" as they call them now) or is there something better?

you wouldn't understand :)

I'd recommend getting the 201s and then treating yourself to a nice nando's with the left over money

does anyone know where i can get some cheap velvet pads for my custom one pros?

are u the shiit employee/shill

i was hoping for something new and exciting

Are you in Bongistan? I'm not sure what else would be available there...would you be buying them locally, on Amazon?

uhh if you don#'t mind them looking dorky as fuck the 471s are probably like £50 by now and they were really nice. slightly on the bassy side though but not niggerbass

I rarely come here anymore. I just know that you're the anti schiit guy, and that there's a 90% chance that you have autism. I'm not even joking.

amazon.co.uk/Shure-Professional-Closed-back-Headphones-Collapsible/dp/B002DP8IEK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1514744039&sr=8-1&keywords=shure 840

save some more

yes i am in the bongistan

What the fuck isn't available here that is in the burger confederation?

Less a matter of what isn't available, as much as what may have a different name in the Euro market, or may cost more there. If you want something new, try the Status Audio CB-1, it's £44 and Prime on Amazon. They're nice.

>I just know that you're the anti schiit guy
there isnt only one of them though

Maybe 3 max. Keep coming back pointlessly talking about schiit and the 600. You're not wasting your time at all lmao.

Only a literal autist could do this on a regular basis.

only a literal autist could shill the hd600 and schiit products on a daily basis and defend them with his life

I agree, but I come here like 1 night a week on average and all I ever see are the same 1-3 autists mocking the 600 and schiit.

THE . SAME . POSTS . EVERY. FUCKING . TIME.

It's called autism. Find a new hobby, this one clearly isn't working out for you. We all know that this site is full of weirdos and that's fine, but this dedication is some next level shit.

The AKG K92s are £36 on Amazon and have very favorable reviews on WhatHiFi

tell that to the idol fucker who posts the same copypastas every thread

You mean the 'whats the best headphone behind the 600' etc etc? I've always taken that him an anti 600 faggot that's trying to stir shit.

>I've always taken that him an anti 600 faggot that's trying to stir shit.

lel, you know what I meant

at this point the dude might just be baiting the HD600 hating turboautist, and unfortunately it works every time

Dumb question.
Is shiit shit or just overpriced?

Could be. This general is ridiculous now lmao. I couldn't imagine spending any decent amount of time here these days, never mind whilst sober.

It's somewhat okay when it's not a HD600/650 spergfest

Assuming preference for sound isolation and clarity:
>MDR-V6
>ATH-M40x
>SRH440

What are the second best headphones behind the HD600?

To jump on this, does aptx make much of a difference?
Check out the Sennheiser HD 4.40, solid option for bluetooth.

oh boy

Check out the CAL or save up for m40x + pads or Status cb-1

I want to get headphones with a built in splitter into the jack, I've seen them before but I don't know the brand. I don't want anything big and bulky, just earbuds to fit in my pocket. Does anyone know a brand?

LDAC makes a big difference, aptx doesn't seem to have as big an impact.

Superlux HD662EVO
Takstar Pro 82
Creative Aurvana Live!

0w0 whats this?!?

Autism, that's what it is.

New years eve, and this is what you're doing. jesus christ.

would this actually affect the sound?
i mean, if the driver is symmetrical and is the cable that determines if it plays the right or left channel then it should make no difference

Can I wear these with glasses? Seeing conflicting reports.

Consider they fit over your ears like glasses. It's probably like wearing two glasses.

Probably not good when wearing glasses, and they sound slightly worse than the normal port pros. if you;re looking to wear them for running, you might as well look for decent iems. I like quality audio, but it's not that important when you're running, besides decent bass.

I used to like running with high fidelity music but then i started associating said music with running and it ruined songs so hard for me. I guess i could just listen to a genre i dont care about

>but then i started associating said music with running and it ruined songs so hard for me

Yep I did this with a few songs. It's best to get decent sounding, bassy iems, and create a whole new playlist for running. A new list consisting of songs that you don't listen to on a serious level, but still enjoy enough to get your running mood going.

It doesn't help that there are three types of aptX.

can i get replacement pads for a pair of dt770s without spending $30+ on amazon

Anyone here lives in Tacoland? Where do you buy? How do you deal with these prices and lack of variety everywhere?

Most likely yeah, but a different brand/material of pads may change the sound for the worse.

Using SPIDF on a Topping D30 and all USB noise is gone, fuck USB.

Is there an audible difference between USB and SPIDF or is it just inaudible graphs memeing?

It's because of AC power. Use USB on a laptop and it'll be just as quiet.

eh, they're not that bad, they just got a little discolored when i was bleaching my hair. oh well!

How many of these japs do you think are Sup Forumsentoomen as well?

>Installing a separate pole for your own electricity
>100k+ on audio gear and speakers
>Hasn't boughten new clothes in 15 years
>Despite all of this room acoustics look fucking terrible

Whoever was shilling the HD 579s these past few threads, go fuck yourself.

Nonexistent treble, no soundstage whatsoever. All the downsides of closed-back except I can hear my neighbors arguing more clearly.

...

What do you guys think of these Wall of Fame changes tyll made?
innerfidelity.com/content/over-ear-open-wall-fame-adjustments

Do you guys think he is more flavour of the month like Reddit thinks or if he's justified and the only people complaining are those people who own the headphones he knocked off the list i.e. hd800 owners.

Idol trash wishes you a happy new year.
What's your setup like, user?

He's got the HD600 in there, so he has the fundamentals covered.

so the fulla 2 is enough for HD600's right

Fulla 2 is crap. Magni 3 is the shit.

Fulla 2 is crap. Magni 3 is shit. Get the O2.

It's funny cause the only good amps that don't sound dirty and somewhat distorted cost upwards of 600 or more. It's funny how reddit actually believes the O2 is good.

holy fucking shit employee literally kys
its fucking new years why are u working now

your troll is crap
stop calling everyone the boogeyman you stupid fucker

he's right on saying that if you're going to ask over $1000 for headphones then they shouldn't have any glaring issue and should "just werks"
on the other hand most people willing to spend that much money on headphones are clearly enthusiast an will EQ them to their liking regardless of what issues the headphones may have, but then again, this people wouldn't be looking to an internet list to decide what to buy and would audition them instead, unless they're retards

>magni 3 is schiit
Sure.
>magni 3 is shit
Source?

>magni 3 is the shit
source ?

>he's right on saying that if you're going to ask over $1000 for headphones then they shouldn't have any glaring issue and should "just werks"
As with passive speakers, driving passive headphones is the responsibility of the amp.

2018 is the year of the DT 880

i mean they should not require EQ, pad change or modding to correct they're problems
the elear for example require either EQ or changing the pads for the clear ones to sound good

how good are shure 840s? theyre like 100 buckazoids here.

Are there any headphones under 200$ that are better? they need a detachable wire cause I keep breaking that shit.

For some definition of good. Bassier, apparently?

I have doubts that the clear sound good too. Its barely different in terms of overall sound signature.

what does eq mean famalams

>$200
Massdrop HD6xx
>better
Definitely.

it mostly fix the missing chunk between 4-8KHz

not sold in the uk

Not him but everyone with expensive as fuck headphones ratethe magni 3.

Ouch.

open or closed?
maybe one of those beyers? 770 880 or 990 idk which is better tho

I feel like this is a good general to ask:

I want to record from my computer to a cassette tape, would my motherboard be good enough or will there be a noticeable increase in quality if I have a dedicated sound card?

oh yeah you mean the dudes who overpay for $20 headphones like the Atticus?
yeah no thanks, I'd prefer actual measurements than autists pretending their DAC sound different

my 990s broke cause of the fucking fragile wire. I'd buy dt 880s but im not sinking 160quidazoids on something without a detachable wire.

then there akg 701 702 and 712
most exp from these is 194 pounds since ur in the uk
