>that mouse
That picture is almost impressive in the amount of trash in it.

I want a pair of fun headphones do I get fidelio x2 for 170 euro or akg k712 pro for 220 euro?
mostly movies and some music and gaming.
or should I just sell my current closed heads and get better closed like in 400 euro range? Could 400 euro closed be better than 200 euro open heads or is it not possible since theyre still closed after all?
what are semi open cans?

>hating the model M
Extremely bad taste.

Have fun with 2kro and ageing caps. The epitome of hipster trash is the model m.

>muh nkro
It's a unicomp so the caps are new.

Oh I'm sorry I enjoy being able to actually use my keyboard in games.

>muh games

Tried making my own thread without success, so hopefully the headphone experts know.

Is there an app or some other way to mute my left headphone on an Android phone that does not have a native option for audio balance? Without having to void the phone's warrenty? (rooting)

I have bluetooth headphones connected by a cord and Id rather not have to snip that cord if theres a better solution, but Id rather do that than fuck my phone.

Pic related is where the option should be, but it isnt.

>realforce RGB
not even that guy but holy shit
u couldve gotten something good like leopold topre
that thing fucking sounds like shit for a topre

K. You enjoy that 2kro and your edgy liberal ideology.

>liberal
>owns guns
How hard are you grasping rn

Sounds fine and the other topre keyboards don't have the actuation point adjustment.
That neutered garbage is the edgy liberal's choice. The type of person that goes " I support the 2nd amendment but....". Go fuck yourself.

>makes false assumptions
>gets mad at assumptions

How is any of that false? Why else would you ever not only own a neutered rifle but support neutering laws? Let me guess. "I support the 2nd amendment but...."

>following shitty laws == supporting shitty laws
Why are you so desperate for me to be the "edgy liberal hipster"?

>I support the 2nd amendment but I need to follow my laws!"
You're supporting shit companies that make those neuter devices. You support the image that it's ok. And you actively say it's ok. The only good that you've done is pay the tax on that rifle.

You are literally (not the meme) following liberal ideology.

>companies
You mean like magpul? Random eBay sellers? Okay.
>You support the image that it's ok. And you actively say it's ok.
Wow more false assumptions.

>You are literally (not the meme) following liberal ideology
If you knew me in person this is the last thing you'd say but since your perception of me is literally one image, followed by six million assumptions, you wouldn't know that.

Move the keyboard and gun, I wanna see the mat! How do you like your steam controller? How does the weight compare to the xbawx controller?

I need a dac/amp combo to power both the akg k612's and jvc ha sz2000's. Any recs? My budget is 2000

That's a whole lot of mental gymnastics to approve your purchase there.

The steam controller is a meme and I never use it, the Xbox one is much better for any games. Weight seems similar.

>following the law is mental gymnastics
Nice fedposting

>Nice fedposting
"I support the 2nd amendment but I'm just following the law"

>dont follow the law goy, otherwise you're not supporting 2a

There's that edgy liberal logic I was talking about. Doesn't really support the 2nd amendment. Just his safe version. Nothing too scury.

Maybe selecting the cheapest shipping for my amp was a bad idea. I'm probably going to have to wait a week starting monday. "FedEX Home Delivery"
What headphones are those? Thanks for the steam controller heads up. I've been told to avoid it. I might get a dualshock 4.

Nice try JIDF shill but you won't get me arrested. Better luck next time.


Focal Elear. Dualshocks are pretty good, my friend has one.

They look really nice! I have smol hands so I sure hope so.
>tfw no custom engraving on magni 3

>JIDF shill
That may be too edgy for you. The bullet button and black rifle thing was already pushing it.

Just go to an engraving shop and have it custom done. It'll cost a bit but you'll be the only person on earth with an engraved magni.

>you'll be the only person on earth with an engraved magni.
I-Is the Magni bad?

If the 3 is like the 2 then it should be fine.

Great. It was recommended to me a while ago and will be my first amp. I'm super excited.

bump

...

I like your jellybean lights.

Quirky looking device, sounds pretty good :)

heres my setup! i unfortunately do not own any guns

Your monitor looks too good to read manga on. What size is it?

its a dell ultrasharp u2412m.

Can it turn to portrait mode on the original mount it came with?

Hi poorfag here needing new headphones
location Europe
Price 40$ (45$ max)
use: fucking everything - music (mostly rock and a little bit of metal), movies, youtube basically everything.
I don't own any DACs or AMPs and I don't claim to be an audiophile
current headphones - akg k77
top choices atm: Superlux HD668B and Superlux HD662 evo (because of easily replacable cable and earpads)

yes it can. that's actually the reason i bought it

also occasional gaming

Time to save up for another purchase. Thanks user.

>Budget
200-300 USD

>Location
USA

>Source
Motherboard

>Type of headphone
Full Sized, circumaural. Detachable cable would be very nice. Not folding is not a deal breaker (my previous pair broke due to too much wear-and-tear on joints)

>Open or closed
Closed

>Comfort level
Weight isn't really an issue for me but I do prefer the kind that fully encompasses the ear instead of resting on it. I have largeish ears.

>Sound signature
I am very used to V-shaped sound signature. My only serious pair of headphones had a similar signature and I do enjoy it.

>Past headphones
ATH-M50 (coiled cable, non-detachable)

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

fresh m40x
any tips? ill get maybe new pads
hm5 or something else?

>vertical manga monitor

Why would you punish two-page spreads so?

no problem dude.

is there such a thing as a good music player with Last.FM support for OS X?

DT770

i view them on the other monitor

Do you think the 80 ohm would be too high for a motherboard to drive? The M50s I have currently are around 35 ohms and I can only turn the volume past 20% before it's too loud.

I just ordered AKG k712 pros and Aune X1s 10 year anniversary edition as my first amp/dac. I am so fucking hyped to get to really listen some music. My past headphones are M50x:s so the difference should be noticeable. Goddamn son.

oh fugggg

an ma900 popped up on /r/avexchange for $200 CAD

reddit.com/r/AVexchange/comments/7py9fu/caonhsony_mdrma900_175ppshipping_w_pp/

Oops I meant 200
Also blz reply

magni 3 + fiio d03k

thanks

>fiio d03k
>192kHz/24bit
wtf why is it so cheap

it has a really low noise floor too compared to other products I've tried, it also is self powered

Has anyone tried the sundara yet?

here's my setup

Don't forget to dust your room and desks

I recently bought a HEPA cleaner, it saved me. will probably buy a roomba derivative

I did hear that some non-roomba brands are good. I doubt they'll work well for my shitty carpet.

>2kro
>literally typing on a 94 lexmark with 8kro
fuck off

yeah I have hardwood. which is awesome for cleaning because dust sits on the surface but that means you can feel it on your feet. I'm planning on getting all cables in my room off the floor, maybe even raising some furniture as well

are these chinkbuds worth 60 leaf sheckles?

I had hardwood in my previous house. All you have to do is sweep and mop. It's great!

Hey guys.
f
First time here so don't bully too hard.
I want to buy myself a new pair of headphones since my last one got taken from me (they were meh so I don't really care).
My budget is 100€ and I'm from Germany.
What are some good ones?
I don't need anything too fancy, I want them to look nice and be comfortable with a good sound quality even at high volumes, no Bluetooth please and a detachable cable would be nice in case it kicks the bucket.

I'll mainly use them on my laptop for music games and Skype, rarely on my phone.

fuck it i'll try em, 50 leafbux with free shipping amazon fulfilled if I get black ones

Grab one these portable tube amps and you'll be good to go.

It's an impedance adapter which will reduce the overly sharp treble on those ZS6s. 75 ohm provides 5dB of attenuation. I'm treble sensitive so I got the 200 ohm.

wouldn't that cause dampening issues with the lowend? not trying to argue, just curious. how is the bass? does it turn stuff darker or V or what?

Hardly, it will require more volume, sure, but my DT880 250ohms can get pretty loud straight from my mobo.

Are the stock pads uncomfortable?

>leaf sheckles
dude

What is with you guys and tubes? Do you intentionally like the distorted sound at a high price?

No, the ZS6 has a flat impedance curve up until the treble so it doesn't bloat the midbass like on dynamic headphones. You can see measurements on head fi. It makes the earphone less bright.

Are these worth $150 or is there something better I can buy?

Just purchased the shp 9500s. Please tell me how stupid I am and how bad I fucked up.

>buying overpriced tubes instead of diying them yourself

>using tubes at all when an opamp can do it

>being so poor that you can't own both for the sake of variety

You bought the best headphones under $100, are very intelligent and made a great decision.

My amp is better then your amp.

Why do chinks have to copy everything?

My amp is better then your amp.

>30 dollar quality copy of 1000 dollar product
Dog bless the chinks

I wonder why they added those pointless imo ugly grills

Worth?

>SKT
>obvious gook
>Dollars
What

fuck no. $600 for lcd-2c. $500 for a kannon. $200 for an hd6xx or ma900. $300-350 for a used e-mu teak or th-x00 ebony

>make overpriced audio memes
>complain when chinks do a better job for less
hah

>thinking the KZs are actually comparable to the andro
this general sometimes

>m50x
Get MSR7 instead. Even the cheaper m40x are better than the m50x. $150 is insane expensive for these.
>k702
HD600 for a little more or HD6xx for a little less. Both outclass the k702.
>dt880
See above.

I fell for the pass labs meme. Le shiny stainless steel faceplate le blue led le 60lb transformer. Bonus points: it's 30w and doesn't power headphones

Thank you

O2 amp good choice brother
