How good are DT150s?
Noah Fisher
TH-X00 Ebony have treble that is way too hot. It's forcing me to listen at a lower volume than I would like to. Anyone else have a similar experience?
I have been told that it is a 3khz resonance that is a flaw of the fostex 50mm biodynamic drivers.

Jaxson Miller
Cavalli Tube Hybrid just showed up on massdrop out of the blue.
Gabriel Harris
i listen to music super loud ama
Noah Wood
it's leftovers from people switching their order to the carbon back when it was still going on. I bought the THX amp but I'm not buying the cavalli, it seems unimpressive to me.
Nolan Parker
Ah, that makes sense. I was reading through comments of the carbon, didn't seem like Massdrop was letting people do that.
Jacob Ramirez
Which one of these earphones are the best?
Etymotic er4sr, Audeze isine 10, or Westone w30?
Dominic Wilson
Is there an audible difference between dacs? I think it's time to replace my mica origen
Asher Evans
that being said I almost drunk bought it last night though heh
Jaxson Hall
ER4SR are the best IEMs at any price.
Josiah Watson
are the LSR305s severely lacking in bass without a proper subwoofer?
Zachary White
Idol trash here.
What's your setup like, user?
John Peterson
Yeah, I EQ'd the treble down on them by 10dB in various places. Still a wonderful headphone though.
Easton Diaz
>is X severely lacking in bass without a sub?
yes.
Parker Sanders
Where? I'm not good at eq. I can use peace gui but that's about it.
Jackson Sanders
I almost drunk bought the THX amp, but I'm keeping myself from doing so until my headphones arrive.
Jack Hall
the thx is something you should buy blacked out drunk so you don't remember you bought it because it's not gonna come for awhile
Bentley Anderson
Nice HD600, the best headphones in the world. Also, I miss early 90's dithered graphics. They evoke a time when gals had full, thick, unshaven bushes. Playing that era's games makes me feel as if I'm back in that time where any gal's pantsu I could remove, I could place my face in a thick, wonderful, fragrant forest.
Blake Cooper
>They evoke a time when gals had full, thick, unshaven bushes.

Ah yes, best time to do so.

I'm feeling nostalgic today, too.

If you want a durable closed-back headphone for the price then I'd recommend the Sennheiser HD 471i. The open-back equivalent would be the HD 239.
If you're more focused on ultimate portability, the Sennheiser PX-100IIi is your best bet. They fold down super small. However, they're both on ear and open back, which may not be as appealing. The comfort is great once you flex the headband a little to make the clamp just right.
Nolan Kelly
what are the best headphones for these type of songs?
Leo Harris
taction kannon
Jose Clark
how exactly they sound? treble and bass overall? i like treble aswell
Tyler Martinez
people say they are neutral
Juan Barnes
cool.
They cost 500, well i guess i will pass that for now. Can people even buy it? i can't see it in amazon nor ebay
Jason Phillips
yeah plenty of people have it and reported it to be the bee's knees. just no one here because everyone here listens to weeb shit
Ryan Perry
Dumb degenerate
Connor Campbell
besides how do they work with that amplifier attached to it? will they be able to connect to anything?
well any other suggestions besides these headphones you could tell me about?
Leo Flores
What's your budget?
Chase Fisher
sure, they can connect to anything like a normal headphone. it just has a built in amp to power the transducer
tactiontechnology.com
>well any other suggestions besides these headphones you could tell me about?
th-x00 for $250
Caleb Nelson
For me its the SHP9500S

msr7 for le gym?
Nathaniel Miller
I know everyone here likes muh amps and muh dacs etc.
But anyone try out bluedio headphones?
I tried out my friends bluetooth head phones and the idea of being able to walk around the house while listening to shit from my desktop is pretty great.
I currently use xaiomi piston 2's and KOSS ur-20s.
Luke Jenkins
For me, it's the HD600.
i3 ftw. If you have to use Linux, at least use the linux-rt kernel.
See: wiki.archlinux.org
Nathaniel Ortiz
You have asked that question for more than a week, unless we've suddenly seen an increase of gym rats who want a MSR7 which I highly doubt. You know what people are going to answer. You're either supremely stubborn or trolling.
Either way if you want that headphone so much go buy it. You'll regret it but at least you will stop asking.
Kayden Morris
2nd try, smaller version, more likely to fit onscreen.
Evan Jones
Jesus christ of course you're a HD660 fag.
Please get a trip so I can filter you
Michael Lee
Modified 9500s seem to sound significantly much better than stock.
Noah Barnes
100 up to 350
>it just has a built in amp to power the transducer
interesting. So they are not for traveling right? i guess i should check them for more further details. The bass doesn't overwhelm other frequencies?
Andrew Parker
These aren't HD660...
Robert Nelson
The Trustiest of Fucks
Michael Peterson
>So they are not for traveling right?
they are for traveling. that's why it's built into the cable instead of a desktop unit
>The bass doesn't overwhelm other frequencies?
two adjustable knobs and apparently accoustically transparent
Elijah Ross
>two adjustable knobs and apparently accoustically transparent
I mean when they are fully cranked up
Christopher Howard
when they are fully cranked up they are the hardest hitting headphone in existence right now so... probably. I don't know.
Grayson Gray
Then i should buy them
Jack Green
Because I haven't found a fucking better option.
Ok so I change the pads when they get ruined from sweat.
Its like 20 euros in 3-4 months for replacement pads.
Charles Turner
Sachiko a cute. A cute!!
Adrian Perry
I'll probably buy them at the end of the month but stuff keeps popping up that I end up buying instead
Andrew Bailey

Isaiah Nguyen
All your negatives combined are only 2% as bad as owning any Apple product.
John Gonzalez
So adorable. I wanna poke her face.
Charles Adams
you should buy them together with me so we could listen to some hard neurofunk and breakcore mate
Jayden Butler
That's a poorfag headphones.
That said, bluetooth has the issue of having terrible audio lag, making any kind of uncompensated video watching annoying.
Angel Hall
Does Mr. Wu not care about his customers unless they spend $10k+? ...
Nicholas Perry
Easton Flores
Why the fuck would you want pleather pads over your ears when you're working out? Working out with the equivalent of winter ear muffs that don't breathe.
Are your ears on a diet?
Get something with cheap replaceable sponges that breathe and aren't like wearing a torture device like the Koss porta/sporta pro or kcs75.
Chase Bell
Then do it if you don't care about pads and stop asking.
Also the headband on the MSR7 is pleather too and can't be repaired to its original state unless you pay a decent amount and send it back. Most people end up doing something like stitching something around the headband and putting some foam or knit some yarn headband. That's okay for normal use of the headphone but you want a GYM headphone where you are going to sweat like crazy.
Also they're simply not very comfortable because they clamp hard and the earpads aren't big.
Do as you wish. Go, you, go. I don't even know why you seek the most audiophile possible option to listen to music while exercising anyway. Just get some decent on-ear or some cheap earbud.
Brayden Cook
too cheap i want something with better sound quality
stock velour pads are found in beyers and shure srh940
the former is hard to drive through a normal phone since 80 ohms and the latter has shit headband plastic that breaks
I dont like iems and changing from pleather stock pads to velour changes the sound for the worse (unless you got an example that this isnt the case)
Adrian Wood
>Also the headband on the MSR7 is pleather
god fucking dammit I didnt think of that
so basically even if I get velour pads the headband goes to shit
guess my only option is beyer custom studio since they got headband with buttons or something easy to replace and hope my phone can drive it
Wyatt Martinez
>I dont like iems and changing from pleather stock pads to velour changes the sound for the worse (unless you got an example that this isnt the case)
It very much is the case and for the MSR7 in particular that headphone is known by many people who tried, including I, various pad options, and realized unless it's built like stock, it's going to suck, period.
And you know, there's no point in shelling that much money on an headphone if you are going to mod it to sound worse so if you were going to change the msr7 earpads you might as well just go portapro.
The beyer is not hard to drive, and it isolates better. 80 ohm doesn't stop it from getting loud enough from a phone unless your phone is utter garbage. It's a bit bulky, though. And I really don't imagine exercising with an over-ear headphone in the first place.
Grayson Morris
velour will soak up all your sweat get irritating to wear and soaked.
The thought of wearing something with big velour pads for home use in the gym is just nonsensical to me. Them headphones I mentioned are great sounding and they would be ideal, or something along those lines, on ears, light, thin headband, not big overears.
Get your AT for home and a more suitable set for the gym.
Robert Cook
Need something closed, warm with quality bass. Only have 200$
Colton Anderson
Momentum v2 or urbanite.
Camden Rodriguez
>Get your AT for home and a more suitable set for the gym.
I got other hobbies too mate i wanna get some topre keyboard after too poor for that much shit
and velour is easy to wash I understand it might soak
ill just get custom studio even if theyre bulky and heavy it will just help me take the neckpill
Cooper Moore
You want the AT's yes, add the koss onto your bill is 20 or something. Or wreck and impair your focus in the gym, your fancy new headphones and buy earpads more expensive than the happy go lucky extra gym set.
Big headphones getting rattled around might have breakage issues. You experiment with what you want. I like keyboards too but it's nearly the same money you're paying and you're also taking care of your good set.
Christopher Long
seriously? some phone headphones would be the best choice given
?
Nicholas Wright
A550Z
Jordan Turner
They only put the wires in the package to appeal to a bigger demographic, business choice.
They sound great, on ear version more than the over ear.
They have a strong build quality too.
Ayden Evans
This guy knows what he's talking about, just make sure they're v2 if you go for Momentum. v1 are disappointing in comparison.
Zachary Fisher
any better alternative to the e-mu teak?
Dylan Foster
emu steak :)
Joseph Nelson
yeah I will unless something else pops up. +10dB above harman @ 20hz. and then you've got the tactile setting on top of that...
tfw your headphone has a grfbl setting
depends on what you are looking for
Charles Murphy
Depends where you live, and what you like.
Chase Hughes
>tfw your headphone has a grfbl setting
forgot pic related
Christian Brooks
>depends on what you are looking for
closed, over-ear, mostly neutral with a punchy bass
Nathaniel Robinson
oh. see
Jose Walker
interesting, i'll check them out
Ayden Morales
Is this a bad idea for cheap headphones?
Dominic Moore
>For me, it's the finest headphones on the planet
Good taste.
Noah Cook
>urbanite
>Where these cans fall a little flat is a treble response that starts rolling off at 2kHz and remains some 5-10dB too low through the bulk of upper octaves resulting in a veiled sound.
Yeah, there's warm, and then there's rolled off. Enjoy your shitcan.
Luke Smith
oops
Anthony James
Hm, The sound smooth with tight bass response, yes maybe just knock up the high end a touch on the eq. He is after something along those lines. I got mine for a bargain price, I have other pairs for different usage, I think they're quality personally. They have a very welcoming sound that has clarity, I wouldn't call them veiled. Maybe you just like spikey treble stabbing your ears and curdling your milk.
Dominic Young
I hate schiit buuuut
modi 2 has a flat frequency response and a noise floor of -90db on even a bad USB port, which is inaudible.
magni 3 has a flat frequency response and a respectable amount of power.
So what's wrong with the schiit stack again?
Elijah Miller
What exactly are you asking? Is using a bluetooth receiver a bad idea? If it fits whatever your needs are, no.
Kevin Foster
Isn't this stereo which is 2.1 though?
Jason Ramirez
like would it sound bad and hiss etc?
Jaxon Johnson
I don't understand what you're trying to ask. Headphones are 2 channel, not 2.1, and of course it's stereo, there are two drivers.
Robert Wilson
jitter is high on the modi 2 due to some type of problem with their usb input. I wouldn't recommend it.
distortion on the magni 3 is high due to not enough open loop gain. But if you use high impedance headphones, it can get good enough performance.
Jace Cruz
I have no idea what it is and reverse searching only gives russian blogs. I can't say for certain. My Mpow receiver and transmitter (two separate devices) eliminated hiss I had while using a work laptop.
Brandon Evans
The jitter is at -90db and while it's not competitive with stuff like the topping d30 which is at -130db the jitter on either is effectively inaudible.
