Hmm wonder who's the OP?

Stop replying to the autist.

The spammer managed to be first poster even when I was the OP. (you can recognize my OP presence by virtue of Touhou-only posts)
He's intensely hell bent on spamming these threads and being first present.

OP here. The only headphones I own are MA900. The image spamming guy is just that persistent. He somehow found the thread two minutes before I even posted the link to it in the old thread. Amazing, really.

Don't let the door hit you.

So you know what the answer is, go read or post on Head-fi or Reddit where, somehow, there's actually LESS fanboyism. SBAF is as bad if not worse, though.

Go cry about it on ASR then.

You need to go back. Back to plebbit.

I was quoting the autists.

I misunderstood then.

Can someone make the Pepe on one side of the wall with crying wojaks on the other side. Put hd600 on Pepe and some meme headphones on the wojaks

Don't know what asr is and I don't go to reddit. What now pussies. Why do you say the exact same shit here every single day? does it make you feel important? do you think people care about your dedicated hate towards certain products? it's fucking strange.

Yeah, I do lurk there, because they actually discuss things other than HD600/MA900/STAX/ER4SR. People there have opinions, and aren't written off for having them. Is there some shilling and groupthink? Sure, but there's more on there. Here it's a struggle even to make a recommendation without getting shouted down for not going straight to the afforementioned four models or their manufacturers.

Yeah, I wasn't very clear to be fair.

Received new DAC in mail. Could you guys please share good guide for proper foobar2000 settings for PCM playback.
I've set DAC in Windows to 44.1/24 and disabled resampler in foobar settings. Anything else?

This is Sup Forums. Average e age of poster in /hpg/ is 14. What do you expect?

There's like one single ma900 poster now and he doesn't shill it on every single recommendation. We do have a problem with inexperienced hd600 spam though.

Never buy Schiit products.

My condolences.

Nothing can change your fate now, accept life with your Fulla 2. Also, if you enjoy it, who cares? Why should you?

oh no i'm so sorry user

Why do you post the same shit every day. Answer me.

Explain why you were memed, and what was clearly better near the same price.

go

This is my life, don’t take it away from me...

So how good is the MA900? Compared to ATH-AD900 and HD600?

Oh boy, here we go again

Sound signature is close to HD650: slightly warm/dark, relaxing, unfatiguing. Comfort is unparalleled. Soundstage is huge, imaging is fantastic. Sensitive and low impedance with impedance compensation, so sounds the same out of low and high output impedance sources.

I'm not saying it's the best, but it's the best

Why did Sony stop making it? They have so much garbage in their lineup

Sorry to hear that. Let this be a life lesson for you.

they care more about their domestic market, which doesn't like open back headphones

They have a long history of discontinuing good products while continuing to market bad products. That's just what Sony does.

is it hard to build the o2 kit? I was considering it since it's cheaper and it could be fun

Probably not even you, but it's hard to tell. That's how pathetic you look on here.

What’s that make you, hanging with pathetic anons when you could be doing anything else. But you can’t, can you. You’re here forever.

Is the MDR-1A worth the $80 premium on the MSR7? Are they both a poor upgrade? I've been fine with my ATH-M50 for the last 7 years.

lol the mdr-1a is worse than the original m50

Do I get the Sennheiser HD 4.40 BT, or a Bluetooth adapter for my Bose QC25s?

Because normies want bassy, wireless noise-cancelling headphones, and don't understand why open-back headphones without isolation even exist. Ever seen a 1 star review for an open-back headphone on Amazon because they had to return it for leaking sound?

If you want a good closed headphone and don't need portability get something from AT's A line. Forget about ""monitor"" line and forget about MSR7.
Sony are not even worth $100 much less their current price.

So I know these got a nice sub bass, but did they fuck up mids and treble?

I got MDR-1000X for "free", and they are my everyday commute headphones now. Noise cancelation works really well in subway, and I travel by plane quite often as well. Had to play a bit with EQ in my DAP a bit for them though.
I know about headband issue, but so far they are keeping strong.

Can you do this with them?

Of course no.
But my previous commute headphones, GMP 8.35D were literally indestructible.

High distortion, melanin enriched DJ headphone focused on passive isolation at the expense of everything else.

I've got them and can't really recommend.
Their overall signature is very unnatural. Lots of bass, but it isn't flat bass.

Why?

It's not just lack of flat. It's just terrible bass for a closed headphone.
You rarely see that much disto in the bass area of a decent closed headphone. Something at that price shouldn't behave like this. You'd get better sounding basshead stuff on a MSR7 with EQ +10dB across the bass frequencies than you do with that sort of garbage.

oh, i see you enjoy plankton enriched records

Its the technology that the phone uses to improve the quality of the sound.

>150€.
>I'm looking into a set of noise cancelation.
There's no good noise cancellation at that price range. Unless you're willing to buy a used set of QC25.
>improve
no.

Maybe more than I realize...
