I felt it was best to have an OP without Sup Forums-consoler-wars-tier shitposting in it. I'm not taking sides. I'd do the same thing if the pastebin had said "don't buy JDS Labs or Beyerdynamic products."

lol. 0.5w @ 32 ohm is 4v not 18v. what is massdrop smoking

anyone have any strong recommendations on pads? these are for 5 year old ATH M50s
I see stock, velvet from Sound Professionals, Wicked Cushions, and Brainwavz as the most popular

Anyone who has gotten to compare the k712s to any other K7*? I'm wondering if it's worth the price over the others, but measurements of the K712s are few and all over the place.
Carson Nelson
This.
Jace Powell
The k712 is a fixed k702 in terms of stock signature essentially. For the first time in the 7 series, bass is showing up. Driver and general build there's not much difference between the various k7**, it's mostly about some of the damping and pad changes they do to the different K7** to achieve specific target signature goals. If you know how to use an equalizer you can make a k712 sound like a k702 or a k702 sound like a k712.
I'd say it's worth the price difference in Europe if only because it's convenient to have the headphone that sounds good stock with no EQ and the price difference isn't humongous. If you already EQ your headphones there's no reason to care. The 712 isn't a more resolving or higher quality headphone. It's just a different tuning.
Angel Walker

Literally as much bass as Beats.
Bentley Allen

Eli Phillips
Jaxon White
Learn to read graphs.
No, loudness doesn't start or center around 1khz.
Most of the midrange sits around the same level as the bass, this isn't a heavy bass headphone. It's a warm headphone compared to typical AKG though.
Also this:
Post raw, hd600 fag. You never post raws. It goes against your narrative. You argue like headphone sjws.

Here are the K712 raws. HD600 posters are literal subhumans. The worst garbage to have come out of Sup Forums for years, and probably the years to come. There's no headphone community as infected by this sort of pestilence as here. Even Sennheiser central SBAF still prefers the 650 because newsflash, people want bass.
Alexander Turner
>people want bass.
James Cox
>No bass
I can see why you like HD 600s
Benjamin Martinez

Heh, forgot a meme arrow there
Christian Ross
By the way some education on certain myths : beats aren't even close to being bass monsters. Not even the original monster built ones. They're garbage sounding headphones but they're not what bassheads ever looked for to get their hit.
The whole bass shtick is more marketing than actual tuning. Bose have more bass in general and they even do loudness compensation where they boost bass if you listen to lower volumes but nobody has associated Bose to rap, niggers or bass for some reason.
James Brown
the Monster Beats don't even sound close to what the current Beats sound like they've improved quite a bit I hear but no audio autist will measure them for some reason
Grayson Scott
>intentionally posting the raw because you know it's not aligned properly
Deceptive.

>Literally more bass than beats.
This is why you will always be subhuman. No critical thinking.
Lucas King
A-are you a shitposter too?
John Scott
modern beats are actually pretty good. obviously these measurements don't tell the whole story but the driver has good punch/slam and very low distortion. i unironically rec them to people looking for portables.

Does anyone mind sharing EQ settings for HD 6XX that reduces midbass and brings up subbass? Personally, I think they sound nice as is but I want to hear how they can be improved.
Joshua Bennett
I have the solution to your exact needs. it’s called an HD600
Thomas Davis
They were 2.5x more koala coins than the HD 6XX at the time.
Sebastian Edwards
This is my HD650 profile I usually use
Mason Bennett
Thanks user.
Christian Gray
Better yet, the HD 650s (They're driver matched)
Nathan Gomez
There's no need to bring midbass down, this is just a hd600 homo thing. Some moderate sub-bass boost isn't a bad idea, but the most important is a treble boost. Try a +5dB across the 5khz-10khz region and you will understand what this headphone is truly missing.
Noah Edwards
No problem
Wyatt Carter
Depends what you're listening to.
Blake Myers
>Audio-GD
Aiden Myers
Ath m50x any good, or should I stay far away from them?
Juan Moore
NFB-11.
Brandon Perez
stay away from anything M-named from audio technica.
These are absolute meme phones. Unlike the hd600 which we mostly bash because of the intense shills, m50x are genuine hot garbage not even worth a single copper. PortaPro sound better. KSC-75 sound better. They have no right to be sold at more than $100 like they currently do.
Daniel Green
Any good 100-200 dollar headphones to reccomend, preferrably in white?
Cooper Anderson
Something like this?
Thomas Bell
Do they have to be portable? Is noise isolation a requirement?
Hudson Russell
60hz is where you boost subbass
Isaac Collins
Doesnt really have to be portable, over ear, noise isolation not required but preferred
Kevin Cooper
Redpill me on balanced headphone connection.
Carson Cooper
>audio gd
>woo audio stand
yikes
Camden Ortiz
Somewhat isolating:
A550Z, A990Z
No isolation, open headphones :
SHP9500S, AD700X, AKG 702
The latter are better in sound quality but they do not isolate from any sound at all.
Nolan Cox
Forgot to mention the DT880 among open. They also fit in the $200 american budget.
Tyler Cox
Thanks user
Elijah Watson
Yes, and?
Angel Gonzalez
yikes!
dt880 one of the best values. k612 good too for open
Isaiah Anderson
Mfw none of those are available in white
Noah Phillips
Again, what point are you trying to make here?
Anthony Evans
HD600 have better driver matching than HD650.
>in b4 he actually believes manufacturer claims
John Cook
>Mfw none of those are available in white
DESU even if you like the color you really don't want white if you know what happens to that sort of cheap plastic and pleather when it's coated in white paint. There's nothing that degrades and becomes nasty looking faster than cheap white plastics and cracking artificial leather which is what the m50x headband and earpads are made of.
Matthew Gomez
The best thing for /hpg/ would be for you two to duel, the hd600 troll vs lonely hd650 fan, cowboy style, and both die from the injuries.
Christopher Richardson
Greentext won't do anything for you, user. Until the manufacturer states so, it's all RNG and speculation :))
Evan Cruz
good if you need the power for some harder to drive headphones. otherwise it's just autism.
William King
Wait hold the fuck up, i clicked on one of the links on the start of the thread. And that canpicker shit says m50s are good. So are all the good reviews ive seen shilling?
Blake Diaz
Clearly a defective pair too. Please don't lie on the internet
Carter Bell
>So are all the good reviews ive seen shilling?
There's been a phenomenon of people who have never heard any decent headphone and who upgraded to the m50x from word of mouth. Coming from their $10 walmart material or smartphone-package-included-earbuds, the m50x did sound like an improvement and they turn into new budget-fi faithfuls, who will never listen to any other headphone because they feel the m50x is sufficient. So what they do next is preach to other people to buy the m50x.
You will hardly see people among us, who have heard more than handfuls of headphones, praise this headphone. It's bad for the price. It's not even as good as a Koss PortaPro, which is cheaper than this shilled crap.
Ethan Lee
So just do a fuck ton of resesrch and buy a good pair, or sperg to the max and design and build my own headphones
Jaxson Ward
OOF

I was messing with filters and shit and eventually ended up here but I still feel pants on head retarded.

That is one fresh new meme, gen z.
Jacob James
For example, this is what a non-driver matched headphone can look like
Carson Ortiz
>So just do a fuck ton of resesrch and buy a good pair
Yes
>sperg to the max and design and build my own headphones
Not even a viable option unless you intend to hide in the mountains and learn how to build stuff for years. Making actually -good- DIY headphones from scratch is one of the biggest DIY endeavor you can think of reasonably doing. Making something that outputs sound isn't hard, the hard part is making it sound good. Even if you take some other headphone's drivers you're not there until you understand acoustics, how to design a cup and put the right damping, make the right earpads..
