I would get them simply because they're a classic, and that price is excellent for a classic headphone that isn't being made anymore.

HD600s are fine but the K712 are superior in that price range. Especially in terms of ergos.

I don't care. The guy you're calling a hd600 hater is being insulted for something I did, not something he did. I'm the one who spits on sennheiser while the other guy didn't. It's actually pretty funny to see retards like you spray their hatred all over the place when they get triggered, mistaking everyone as a potential target.

Do you know how the Americans first came into being? They were Anglos once, taken by the dark powers. Tortured and mutilated, a ruined and terrible form of life. And now, perfected: my fighting Amerimutt.
…And whom do you serve?

The American is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a scoundrel, parasite, lardass, idiot, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a mutt and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “Whiter than you Muhammad.”

The fact that you know the 9/11 date while no one knows the dates of any other country's national disasters unless they live there themselves is telling.

Jose Diaz
>The fact that you know the 9/11 date while no one knows the dates of any other country's national disasters unless they live there themselves is telling.
It is only a reminder of how whiny americans are. We don't keep on whining and commiserate about past events here, so there is no opportunity for foreigners to be told about a date again and again in the first place. I don't even remember the date of any terror attack that happened in the past decades here.
It is no wonder the SJW culture came from America. Victim mentality has overtaken your country, the only difference between cuckservatives and demrats is their view on welfare, deep down you all think of yourselves as victims.

All I want is a sub-$200 pair of wireless headphones with god-tier bass reproduction, an utterly transparent soundsig that is also masterfully balanced, colorful & musical while presenting a soundstage the size of the universe at heat death. They need to have perfect and total isolation up to 10,000 decibels in every frequency while retaining the comfort and audio characteristics of open cans.

They don't sound good. It was like listening to mud.

For sub $200 you're going to have to compromise. They're not the most comfy, but I'm fine with wearing them for a few hours at a time and I have a huge head and ears.
If you want to wear them that long, why would you get Bluetooth?

Open and bass at $100... can't think of any.
There's the v-shaped DT990 and DT770 (closed), but they'll tug at your budget.
Benjamin Diaz
AD500X. More bass than the SHP, less mud than the 559.
It's not the most well known of the AD series because people jump straight to the AD700X, which has no bass, and people tend to think the 500X must not have bass when the higher priced one has none. But it actually has more bass than the AD700X. (not to confuse with their non-X predecessors)
That website's measurements highly correlate with what I heard. Decent amount of bass, but still it's not over-emphasized, there is no open headphone with over-emphasized bass at your price range.

HD6x0 has less soundstage than your 598. They sound almost like closed on that front. But the sound quality is much better and a logical upgrade to your current headphone if you like the 598 signature. Particularly the HD600.
Luis Parker
What's he listenng to?

HD600 is the one to get.
For HD600 vs HD650, there's a bunch of reviews comparing both out there, including e.g. Youtube.

So I've been using pic related (Samson Meteor Mic) with my DT990Pro for the longest time as a mic and Amp. Now it's starting to break down.
First, the left channel of the Headphone out sometimes goes away, turning the 3,5mm plug helps fix this. but recently, it also started to introduce scratching noises. Should I open it up and check if I can solder it back together?
Here's why I want to get a new setup:
I am extending my audio equipment and looking to get a mic that can fit into a spider and also has XLR for when I get a Zoom H4 or H5 sometime end of the year.
But I'd also need an amp for that. And to that I also have a question: the Mic in pic related allowe dme to hear the mic input almost instantly. my current setup (connected to the Motherboards 3,5mm) introduces a slight delay, which annoys me when recording my own voice.
Camden Butler
>turning the 3,5mm plug helps fix this
Looks like it's either the jack of your device (too much play) or the 3.5mm connector on your headphone that's breaking down. Have you tried your headphone on something else? consider diagnosing if it's really the connector or the cable of the headphone before bothering with soldering a new one.
Carson Peterson
I've tried my headphones on something and different headphones on the device. It's the device. Same faults at same places in same strength

Something like a "warm" sound - I'm extremely sensitive to high treble.
>Past headphones
Takstar Pro 82: super comfy but treble is too high
tried but didn't buy:
ATH MSR7: also too much treble
ATH m50x: too much treble
hd 4.40: treble is acceptable but they seemed uncomfortable
HD569: I'm using these right now and the sound signature is great, if a bit fuzzy in places. Not as comfortable as the Pro 82s but acceptable.

Looks like you're sensitive more to upper mids/low treble region between 1khz and 2khz. This is the biggest difference between the 569 and the m50x alongside the m50x added bass.
Carson Williams
which ones?
that might be a little too expensive actually

I believe you might like it. Stock signature is too dark for me but I'm a treble head.
You have a huge budget range ($300-$1000) and I never heard 1k+ headphones so you might want to see other people opinions in case something might fit you in higher price ranges.

Not that user you're talking to but that is "quality" to you? You can still see machine marks all over that trash despite the 5 filters and grayscale.
JDS is on par with Schiit in that price range. Higher priced Schiit products have a lot higher quality.
Liam Gonzalez
Higher prices schiit products are actually much worse. Have you seen the yggdrasil/bifrost mb measurements?
Nathan Bell
>Not that user you're talking to but that is "quality" to you?
yes, point me to a schiit dac that uses a solid aluminum brick for EMI reduction. oh wait they don't, they are too busy making 10 bit dacs
Gabriel Lee
>JDS is on par with Schiit in that price range. Higher priced Schiit products have a lot higher quality.
Wrong. JDS Labs products are superior at the equivalent price range due to proper design. Also wrong about higher-priced Schiit products being decent: audiosciencereview.com
lmfao Rationalize your misinformed purchases some more, faggot. Subjectivists on circlejerk forums aren't a good source of information.
Isaac Turner
The top end stuff measures fine if you ask me. Nothing bad about it. stereophile.com
And that build quality is better due to simplicity and US based manufacturing.
>aluminum
>EMI reduction
Tell me gen z. What makes you think aluminum is better for interference insulation than another material?
I based my opinion off shit I've owned. That Shit includes Schiit and they are fine products. Neither JDS or Schiit are all that great if you compare to Benchmark which is American made and is the best DAC you can by currently. Along with excellent build quality and CS.
John Brooks

Prove it with measurements or take your opinion elsewhere. There's no point in qualitative analysis when it comes to audio hardware if it's not backed by quantitative data.
