what the fuck is this shit picture

Second for why would you use this high ISO in what looks like a well lit place and with 1/50 shutter and 2.8 aperture?

Her name is jackie lynn thomas from star vs the forces of evil

I have portapros and I like them very much, but there's a lot of leaking, and no sound cancelling. Any decent recommendation for a fag that is going to be using them for CS:GO, mostly?

Man, she only looks good in fanart

that's still shit user

Sony MDR7506 or Sony MDRV6?

It's a cal-arts style cartoon, they don't animate to look appealing

>a lot of leaking, and no sound cancelling.
Seems like you want a closed-back headphone.
Fill the form on Op, it makes easier to help.

Can I ask about speakers here?
Looking for something to go on my desk with a rich sound and decent low-end, last thing I want is a tinny sound signature (Sub is out of the question)
I was looking at the HS7 but they seem too bright for my tastes

People here shill the JBL LSR 305, they have a pretty neutral sound signature.

Anything good enough to hear steps from far away in counter strike.

Portapros and Logitech meme headset (it was good but fell once and no longer works)

Takstar Pro 82, they're incredibly comfy and sound very good for the price.
The user who bought them here says they're the best headphones he has heard at this price range.

Lsr305 with an audio interface

They look pretty good. Gonna wait for my FAFSA disbursement and I'll pick them up. So far all the Sup Forums memes I've fell for have been pretty good (T420 Chinkpad, build own PC, Portapros, manual transmission thanks to the autistic folks at /o/, and OP5 cellphone).

>posting a terrible new thread way before the bump limit of the old thread

R2R 11 user here, thus DAC has an option to make the sound warmer or keep it neutral, you have to open it up to do that though, but that's what people are talking about when they say the R2R 11 sounds warm.

The clicking noise is indeed my own hardware issue, because I didn't have the issue on another PC.

Most people on head-fi actually recommend the R2R11 over the NFB11, because it has slight improvements like the Amanero driver. Both are good though.

I just fell for the OP5T meme, I hope it's gonna be good.

some philips shit and chink garbage

also, are high ohm headphones really that bad without dac/amp? people make it sound like they are unusable without them

It's the shit. My Samsung Galaxy S5 feels like absolute fucking trash next to it. The OP5 is so fast and snappy. Those 8 gigs of RAM really do make a huuuuge difference.

NFB-11.28 has the Amanero USB, too. Main difference is the Saber 9028 instead of the R2R dac. Original NFB-11 has the USB32 and Saber 9018. I have the two TCXO upgrades in mine for the USB and DAC for very low jitter, so it's still good. Head-fi may just have a hard-on for R2R dacs

>The clicking noise is indeed my own hardware issue, because I didn't have the issue on another PC.
That's good to hear, I hope you can figure something out with your other PC

I'm thinking about getting Shure SE535 iems for about 300 bucks, do they hold up to this date?

Hand built chinkshit is good; it's not as if it comes off an assembly line in a factory.

How much did Chang pay you to shill his niggertech?

Atticus

that's right, when people like something that you don't know anything about they must've been paid for it.

I've tried the EIkons and liked them, but not enough for the $$$.

Anywhere on the West Coast I can try the Atticus out?

What's the best earbuds I can get for $50 or less that I can use in the subway.

I want the best sound and durability for a price point I wouldnt be too upset over having stolen

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

>No Grado/Ultrasone treble rape
You could have just said "I'm not a sound engineer, I just need something expensive to wear while I stream on Twitch"
