Should I buy the HD600? /hpg/, please.

Fuck me look at those sexy feet. They are so sexy.

Buy it and then snap it for maximum shitposting
Jordan Cruz
Of course not. Buy some good headphones.

Are there any negatives to the HD 579? Looking at buying them.

They're not HD600, the best headphones in the world. That being said, they're very good and you should buy them.
Austin Gonzalez
HD600 but better
Camden Cooper
I'm still very much confused and would like some actual advice.

Get DT 880s instead.

HD600 are awful. Boomy yet neutered bass, dysphonic midrange, and cacaphonous treble.
Ryan Long
I think he wants headphones, not treble dildos.
Lucas Cox
Doesn't that have bass!?
Angel Bailey
Jesus, /hpg/. Stop messing with me.

What the super neutral Sony one again?

Go elsewhere for research. HD600 are a constant target for shitposting here these days, both for and against. It's nearly impossible to get honest, sincere opinions about them here right now because both sides are simply trolling each other all thread, every thread.

Had a pair for a couple months now, got them for $80, and I'm really pleased with them for that price. Get them if they're cheap, dont spend more than ~$120.
The drawbacks are the shitty plastic build (worse than hd600), and the headband padding being crap, which doesn't bother me much. They could do with more clamp too IMO, i'm always having to adjust them on my head.

Noah Bailey
>got them for $80
On amazon? That sounds like a better price than I usually see. Yeah I was also worried about the headband being an issue.
Andrew Martinez
they are good if you want headphones for acoustic and vocal music
they are not good if you want them for electronic music and genres like metal
they are overpriced compared to headphones which have the same sound quality but are good for electronic music and genres like metal

Austin Jenkins
I got them for £57 from Argos in the UK, which is roughly $80.
The headband bothered me a little at first, but it just seemed to disappear after a few days. Comfort is great now. Perhaps because they are light. I had a set of heavier MSR7's which gave me awful pain on the top of my head, these are much better.
Noah Roberts
Is this one of the ones listed for 3,000 dollars on their website?
Juan Rivera
All good DACs sound the same, some people like to buy things that sound different, that's why audiophiles expend thousands of dollars on DACs that sound different from perfect transparency
Jace Thomas
too late, I just bought it
Juan Sanders
I'm not interested in buying it. I'm trying to understand why this one is 500 dollars versus the 3000 on their website.
Michael Ross
Some high end DAC are perfectly transparent like the Benchmark DAC but they're not really worth the associated price tag. Chord DACs seem to measure reasonably well too.
Nathan Carter
lmao nice
wtf are you talking about?
Jack Parker
Expensive transparent DACs are more about getting more features than better sound
Robert Morris
>Chord DACs seem to measure reasonably well too.
not for their price they don't hahah
Isaac Reed

Refer to my previous post
>Is this one of the ones listed for 3,000 dollars on their website?
Carter Sanchez
yeah, link you fuccboi
Lucas White
They're good
Jace Fisher
Not for their price
Jonathan Reyes
>not for their price they don't hahah
Hence the word 'reasonably'. If the differences aren't audible who gives a shit? I'd guess some people buy Chord for the same reason they hang expensive art on their walls. They have a unique design to them, at least. The dave has a pretty sexy Sci-Fi vibe to it.

idk your local dealer or headphone convention
Zachary James
I believe you, but it is not worth the extra $300 over the HD6XX. There are far better headphones you could get instead for the $500 price tag of the HD660S.
Lincoln Ramirez
>meanwhile euro Ebay has literally nothing
God do I hate it.
Aaron Kelly
>There are far better headphones you could get instead for the $500 price tag of the HD660S.
Like the HD600, the best headphones ever made.
Logan Myers
Anybody ever been to canjam? Thinking about flying for the one in April in LA
Levi Ross
I'm going to that one, already bought my tickets.
Noah Baker
iirc the 58X's gimmick is that it's a slightly worse 580 but it doesn't need an amp.
Evan Nguyen
>iirc the 58X's gimmick is that it's a slightly worse 580 but it doesn't need an amp.
It's just sennheiser gaslighting the ignorant. If the 58X ends up like the 660S marketing of its 150 ohm impedance as a virtue, it's not going to actually matter. In the case of the 660S it's like +3dB louder at equal power than a 600. It's not going to make smartphones sound much louder exactly.

you must be retarded to change hd600s pads on these

so I have a pair of hd6xx but all the shilling here makes me want to buy a pair of hd600. should I get them or buy something different, like a pair of msr7?
halp
Jose Nelson
You should've bought the SRS3100 on ebay but I bought it so you can't
Oliver Thompson
Just eq boost the treble of your hd6xx. Don't let the meme make you believe they're different headphones. They're not. They literally have the same driver and 90% of the casing is the same. There's just some changes to the damping to create the bass bump with the side effect of losing treble. You could, if you hate equalizers for obstinate idiotic reasons, mod the 6xx to be exactly like the 600 too.
MSR7 are not worth having if you don't use them as portable headphones and keep them at home. Don't bother. if you want to give AT's house sound a shot try the 550z or 990z.

I need your help. To skip to the end. I have a pair of Ultrasone Signature Pros that I purchased years and years back. I'm allergic to the pads and I'm finally finally going to replace them.
I have my eyes on a few pads, such as taking them from one of my other pair (if applicable) or buying alpha pads. But if anybody has experience with pads, steer me in the right direction
Isaiah Adams
No. EQ your HD6XX and you'll have a headphone superior to the HD600.
Jonathan Diaz
What amp are you using? If it's not a bottle head crack get that instead of another pair of headphones.
Owen Perez
>unironically recommending a toob amp
Stop posting.
Ian Flores
>you'll have a headphone superior to the HD600
Identical, you mean. Both of the shill groups need to calm down on how much difference there is between the two. The most significant difference is that the HD6XX and HD650 don't have that offensively terrible paint job.
Josiah Campbell
This desu
Grayson Long
Tube amps only sound different because their high output impedance changes FR and the tubes add distortion relative to solid state alternatives making tube sound objectively lower in fidelity. Prove me wrong. You literally can't.
