Audio Technica ATH-M50
I'm looking for a headphone with a larger soundstage and less bass than the M50's, though not necessarily recessed bass. From what I've researched it seems I may want to go for the Beyerdynamic DT880 250 ohm or 600 ohm and an o2 amp. Opinions?
>>52354481
heard good things about the shp9500, recently tried on the 598's and will say they are very comfortable but i didn't get a chance do any real sound tests. Honestly they being $150 ish on amazon might make them a good deal. No info on the 558s i can give you.
>>52354481
598's are best, but 558's are best value.
Do the ATH-M70X need an amp:?
>>52354520
still didn't fix it
>$300 including amp
should be $400
What is the best around $100 IEM? I have heard that the shure se215 is good. I have the Bose MIE2 but the cord is deteriorating. I would like something with volume controls.

>>52354615
You need low output impedance for the sennheiser hd558/598. If you don't have low output impedance, you better buy an amp.
Phones have low output impedance. If your computer sounds really bassy compared to your phone, it's because your pc has high output impedance.

I'm looking for a pair that meets these preferences:

Removable ear pads.
Comfy.
I liked the FIdelio X1s but the pads were not removable and they were just a sweat/grease sponge during the summer.

>>52354636
Recommend the Sennheiser 598's.
You might be able to try them in a store somewhere. but it checks all your boxes.
Not sure about price over in Germany though, thats where Sennheiser is located but likely not where they are manufactured.\
For reference they are
200-250 USD
300 350 AUD
Damn the ER4-PT with the ER4-S adapter cable thing is quite insensitive. Had full sized headphones much more sensitive than this. Actually a good thing for home use since it works well from my O2.

Those IEM's are the only pair of headphones I have ever bought from the the /hpg/ list.
They were 75 pound and sounded roughly the same as my p3's which cost around 12 quid, fucking sent them back to amazon immediately.

Wow, didn't realize how shit the CAD became. I would say yes, will blow anything prior out of the water and is versatile in terms of using it without an amp. Just note they are a bit bassy and somewhat uncomfortable, might need to get replacement earpads somewhere down the line depending on your feel

Can't really justify the $400 purchase even with the gift card considering I'm already getting the amp. I guess my real limit for the headphones was $300. Wish I could get those, though.
>>52357525
If you haven't bought an amp already, you could use the gift card to pick up a Magni 2 from Amazon or something.
Alternatively, Massdrop has a drop active for the DT880 600 ohm at $239 if you're set on the O2.
>>52357525
the idea was to use the giftcard to get the amp if you can wait.

From what I've read? Build quality is shit, sound quality is okay, and the feature load on the Plus version beats pretty much everything out there. It's a bluetooth headset with a built in FM radio and an optional wired connection.
However, they're huge compared to much else and will break given the first chance.
Are there any particular symptoms or sound signature that come from high output impedance sources like receivers?
I tried to test my Yamaha receiver's output impedance but couldn't get a voltage higher than 0.1 go through my volt meter, got the same low voltage problem with different cables and devices so I'm blaming my volt meter on this one.
>>52357873

>>52360422
That's the one I always get recommended. Of my two audio authorities, one of them loves the XPT100 and says they sound exactly the same as the HM5, the other doesn't like them but says the HM5 are slightly better. Don't know how to take that.
>>52360464
I'm inclined to believe the guy saying they are the same, since they are pretty much rebranded HM5s. The extra set of angled pads make them a better value, so no one recommends the HM5 anymore.
Apparently they have a warm/bass tilt, so you may find that more noticeable than usual coming from Grados.

>>52359816
No.
>>52359805
It's related to the impedance and impedance to frequency curve of the headphones you plug in. It causes a predictable effect in the frequency response. If the output impedance is massively large compared to the load impedance, it will cause distortion. Pic related is an effect of the output impedance in a pair of multi driver cIEMs.

7506 & m40x are both well regarded headphones that are known for being decently neutral (especially at that price point)
I'd pick the MDR 7506 (or MDR V6, they're basically the same) over the m40x, I just gave it as an alternative if you can't get the 7506 or v6 where you live. Or if there's a really good deal on the m40x

look into the objective 2 or magni 2, theyre really all youd ever need. if youre united states, i would get the objective 2 from jdslabs. (it's an open source design, so many makers have taken a stab at their version of the product.) which you get is up to you, but i think the objective measures just a tad better
>>52363805
Someone post the amp copypasta for the ignorant. Get an Objective 2 if you need an amp.
>>52363511
What headphone is this?
>>52363846
monster beats solo hd
just never looked at its measurements before and had a good ol fuckin laugh m8
>>52363819
>>52363829
Thank you /hpg/!!! I'm sorry about not knowing about the amp copypasta though. It's not often that I browse 4chan these days, but out of all the boards I have seen, anons on /g/ have always been the most helpful.
>>52363805
I drive my K702 with the Fiio E10K (85€) and they sound great. I doubt that a more expensive amp/dac can make them sound better.
>>52361906
K702 are as neutral as DT880, but their bass is weaker.
>>52363912
haha youre kawaii as fuck. its not your fault you havent seen the copypasta, were fucking sperglords and every nigger here knows it. enjoy the amp
>>52363734
>>52363685
what the fuck happened
>>52363927
>but their bass is weaker.
wait which one, dt880 right?
>>52363937
no, K702 bass is weaker, especially in the sub-bass region. Still it's definitely enjoyable and punchy enough, to me at least.
>>52363937
the 702's. There is a bass mod iirc
>>52363932
just don't
we're warning you
>>52363932
lay it to rest now
>>52363958
> There is a bass mod iirc
don't fucking do it. If you feel like you need more bass, just enable the bass boost through your DAC/amp (E10K has it)
>>52363999
off by one
>>52363912
-Is it too quiet?
-Is the output impedance too high (fixable by equalization)?
-Is there noise/EMI or hiss to it?
-Does it sound distorted as you start to crank up the volume?
If the answer is no, then that is your answer.
But like I >>52363829 said, get Objective 2 if you still want an amp and want to be sure that your output won't be limiting driving the headphones in any way.
How are the Soundmagic e10 IEMs compared to Etymotic Research MK5 (or other 50-100USD IEMs)?
The e10 cost about half as much, but are being compared to earbuds for hundreds of dollars. Is it a meme worth giving in to?
Anyone think that this is a solid choice for bass or is there better alternatives
>>52364079
youre the one that made the poll arent you? im telling you the poll isnt correct. the v-moda m100 are the best on that list, easily. believe me or not
>>52364092
im sure thats obvious the sennshills got to it
>>52364092
The Denon is easily the best headphone on the list but it's discontinued.

besides the channel matching yeah, that is quite decent. i guess if he can manage to get it it would be better

Honestly, the HD418 was the headphone I liked most in the past, but I had them looong time ago. I think sennheiser don't worth the money in low range products.
>>52364702
Sorry, I'm retard.
I would like some headphones which I can use outside, with not bad quality. Something similar as the headphones I used before, but with better physical endurance, ifpossible. sorry for not posting this before.
>>52364702
superlux HD668B/681, if you can stretch it or find a deal have a look at ath m40x
>>52364828
Really thanks anon. I like how the HD look (them both). I will research a little and dice, thanks again.
>>52364933
IIRC 668B has more detailed bass but 681 has stronger bass
I'd decide rather on the headrest tho
>>52364973
according to IF's measurements, the 681 is simply the better headphone, unless you want more of a v shape... but people shouldnt want that
>>52364828
>>52364933
One issue is that the Superlux might not be suited for outside listening because they are semi-open.
As a possible alternative, the Panasonic RP-HTF600-S is a cheap closed bassy beater.
Since there's no speaker/audio thread anywhere, I'll ask here.
Can anyone explain to me if pushed in speaker cones of bass or tweeters affect sound?
>>52365083
>semi-open.
I hate this meme
>>52362248
The most fedora-tier headphones I've seen anyone using in public have been the beige/brown Sennheiser HD598. The thick extra-long cord is a nice added bonus to the look too.
>>52354520
DT990 250ohm + Bravo V2 and accompanying mods (google), I hope you're decent at soldering bitch nigger.
>>52355580
MDR-V6/7506 + velour earpads
Also, enjoy your crashing dollar liberal cuck :^)
>>52365248
I once saw a guy wearing Grado RS1i's while riding a fixed gear bike in a fedora, I think that might be equal or greater than 598's.
What's up with ya'll faggots saying the AT M50x are meme headphones? Why are they bad? Listened to them at a store and they were fantastic.
>>52365794
you like bass
there's no shame in being a nigger
>>52365844
>>52365844
They weren't too bassy at all. Listened to some Porcupine Tree and some prog metal and the bass wasn't overwhelming or muddy at all. All the nice midrange comes through.
>>52365868
are you sure it wasn't m40

Fuck me, I am so tempted but I seriously don't need more headphones.
>>52366130
well sell the 600s, they're shit anyway
>>52362053
>liquid soundstage
I'm still kekking.
I'm >>52364933 and because anons said I was reading reviews on the net about the HD681.
I read that the pads can be irritating. Where should I look or search to get some beyer-like pads?
I'm not looking anything uber nice, just I remember using for a little a DT990 pro and felt great. I don't mean to buy beyer's pad because sure are expensive. Thanks.
>>52366241
HM5 brainwavz pads are regarded as extremely good
they're 20$ for the velour pads though, so you pay for that price
not sure if they fit the superlux headphones
not really sure what you mean by beyerlike pads, though
If you mean velour/cloth pads. Take a look at the SR850s, they're a HD681 clone that come with velour pads instead of pleather in some regions.
>>52366153
I know right...
I see that the AKG K7xx are back up on massdrop.
I'm temped to import some over. How do they compare to the Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7GM?
I know the ATs are closed and the AKGs are open, but I am undecided.
>>52366130
>>52366111
Daily reminder that K612 and K702 still exist and can be cheaper (especially outside US)
>>52366329
But the K7XX was always recommended over the K702 until the recent wave of AKG shills.
>>52366276
Yeah, you hit it right. With "beyer-like" I meant that pillow feeling. I think it is great for long exposures, but the HD681 doesn't have it standard.
I will research SR850 right now, thanks.
