Does Koss have anything in the $200-300 range worth talking about?
I'm not one for brand loyalty, but their HQ is only a few miles away and that seems nice if I'd need warranty service.
>>45183105
Not really. There's the esp/950 which occasionally goes on sale for $600-700 or so but that's about it for the high end.
>>45183121
Ah, too bad. I'm still hovering in the mid range, but maybe I'll keep them in mind if I get beyond that.
I'm gonna repeat this post in case anyone else here can give any other input.
I can't decide what to pick from the sub $200 list around $99 for wearing and using in public.
the Sony MDR-V6, Grado Prestige Series SR80e, Audio-Technica ATH-M40x, and NVX Audio XPT100 all look very nice, what will sound the best and be the most comfortable for extended periods when I listen to stuff like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jQok0wlkdk and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gW1WVVavw8
someone from the last thread mentioned the mdrs but someone else linked a picture of someone wearing them and their ears bleeding, I don't know what that's supposed to mean and whether or not it should turn me away.
I can't tell what's worse with hpg, the shilling or the recommendation spam from people how can't bother to look up their own shit.

Then get the MDR-V6. Same thing pretty much.
They were on sale for $50 on Amazon a few weeks ago.
>>45183020
i have the 668Bs and for the money they're great
1. i dont wear headphones all day, only when im playing games or when other people are around me - if i did Id get something more expensive as the 668s are a little sweaty around the pads
2. they leak a good bit of sound
3. 668 are not the same as 681

Hey /g/
I need new headphones for muh vidya. I was using a pair of Seinheiser headphones, which worked fine, but are getting old.
I bought a pair of Seinheiser 350 SE's, but when I plugged them in, it sounded like I was playing inside a tin can. My sound card can apparently can handle the headphones.
I was considering sending them, back, but might try to "burn them in" first before doing that. If I send them back, I know the Seinheiser 558s are highly regarded, how good are they for gayming, specifically CSGO.
>>45182614
Sir this is a Christian board!!!
Please don't make me report you!
So are monster amps like this just mere placebo or are they actually good? Ragnarok can also drive passive bookshelves so it will serve as a very good integrated amp as well.

So, how does the ATH-M40x compare to the regular (non-x) M50?
>>45182614
If im going to buy something as high quality and expensive as the HD800 or the Planar Magnetic headphones do I really need an expensive DAC to go with it or can i just stick with my Objective 2 + Amp?
>>45185565
>So, how does the ATH-M40x compare to the regular (non-x) M50?
both are terrible so.
>I bought the M50s
Honestly though I spent a little more on the M50 x and it was so worth it. If your budget ids near $150 just go and get the M50 X their so good for the price.
>>45185557
Would I need a sound card or amp?

Hmm interesting
Anyone know anything about the TH-MX2?
>>45184837
It's an all in one with balanced inputs and outputs and can drive bookshelf speakers and active monitors. I'm pretty sure you can scramble a setup that would do the same job for a little bit under, but it wouldn't look as clean.
>>45185713
Just give it a listen. I honestly don't see a reason why you would need a new dac since the ODAC is neutral.
>>45185788
It sounds pretty neutral to me, I haven't really given it a long listen though or heard the th-02.
Bass is decent. But I hardly use them compared to my k701 or hf5.
>>45185879
My biggest worry is missing the bass from my current sony xb400
I just know whatever i choose will be a disappointment compared to the sony
>>45185879
I have both on me and tested them out. It sounds pretty good, better than my $20 Panasonic DJ headphones but I dont think the improvement is worth 1200 more, which made me wonder if my ODAC couldnt bring out its potential.

>>45186043

These were the same price as the blacks so I bought these instead. I was looking at the AKG K240's as well, how do the K240's compare to the m50's?
>>45186747
you did well to join the emfiddy master race the k240 are not very good
is there a difference at all in sound between m30x and m40x?

Maybe the configuration is shit. I'm using dolby headphone in a very specific and customized way with my music player and all it literally does is add some HRTF and make instrument separation more pronounced.
What does /g/ think about the Superlux HD668B? I intend to use them on my PC from the onboard sound and i will be gaymen and listening to music from time to time.
>>45187720
Maybe I should cave in to buy these and pair them with the upcoming flagship Schiit stuff. As far as I can see it's the least flawed flagship headphone.
>>45188781
You could do that or get a chaper schiit solid sate amp and a schiit tube amp for variation.
>>45188854
I'm scared I will end up wondering how the higher-tiered stuff sound like all the time. ;_;
>>45188781
The flagship schiit stuff is certainly different designed from the typical approaches, but does it do it better. From the objective approach, the probable answer will be no.
The only structural issue with the hd800 is the cable connector, tends to be frail. Senn charges too much for their cables, could be better to go aftermarket for that.

Beyer is not bright, just no mids.
>>45189402
EQ the 5-6KHz spike downward by 3dB, nudge up the lower treble a tad, and you have something pretty damned flat.
Plus, HD800 has exceptionally flat subbass, bass, and midrange.
>>45182614

Run the signal through any half decent sub, the sub should filter out all the HF anyway. Can be done digitally if you want.
Head tracking will be needed to ensure that the visual match up with the audio, to strengthen the illusion of location.
Carmack doesn't mention that headphone localization needs to tailored to the listener. A mic at the ear entrance will suffice for capturing the timing and phase differences, a little more SPL equalization can be done to taste.
>>45193197
Why do most games have really poor headphone modes? They either have a really poor hrtf or just reduce the stereo width to make it more comfortable.
The only reason to have a soundcard these days is for good virtual surround.
>Xiaomi Pistons V2.1 silver
How can anyone like these is beyond me.
They're 22$, they're neatly packed, they're nice, but.
- Clip doesn't serve a purpose, who the fuck clips their earbud cable
- METAL THINGY MAKES MY EARS HURT AND SCRATCHES THEM, ALSO NOT COMFY AT ALL
- Eartips are generic, okay, but the small is too small, medium too big, don't even know what they were trying with the 3fold L one.
- Cable is very nice, but I don't get the carrying case and how to fit your earbuds in it at all, nice thing to play around with I guess, can see the earbuds get damaged though.
Ended up selling them for 50% more than I purchased them for.
I get the idea totally, but they just don't fit for me at all, probably a period of getting used to them needed, but I really don't get all the people shilling this.
I mean the 8 dollar HJE120 Panasonics (bestseller on Amazon for years now) blow these out of the water when it comes to ergonomics and just working, and durability. No stupid gimmicks, premium packaging, you get them and you use them until they die (forever basically).
I don't get anyone who spends money on IEM's in general, all it takes is one fucker to pull the cable on the side and it's up for repair.
Fuck that.

I'm a VR enthusiast and I have to say that headphone audio within a virtual reality environment or system, like the Oculus Rift, will be quite good as far as today's standards go. I remember trying out a demo of the sound software Oculus VR purchased and it was pretty good at simulating binaural sound. If you add an external subwoofer, then even better. However I guess that if you had to use speakers, it might be an option to fix the orientation of the player's in-game ears.

I'm looking for a pair of headphones so I can listen to music without disturbing other people nearby, and so I can have some high quality sound while out and about.
Does anyone here have the Superlux 668B? I want to know how the bass on these is, if i listen to house, d&b, how are they gonna fare?

HD800 is not the best, it's extremely bright and colored inaccurate shit.
You bought a turd and you spend all your time justifying your shitty purchase on /g/.

Nothing's wrong with telling the truth because HD800s are shitcans.
What are some good sites to buy from in EU?

HD800s are shitcans...while all other cans are ultra super shitcans

It sure is. Time to sell it and buy a T1.
>>45195391
Or the plethora of other headphones that are much better than that piece of shit.
>>45186564
This. They also have ear-raping treble, poor comfort and poor build quality.
>>45193725
Just tried it, effect is okay for positioning. One of the better binaural I've heard, unlike some others which do a fantastic job of being above my head, always behind my head and so on.
>>45193658
Piston is even more warmed over than the re400. You sure you want that?

There is no headphone better than the T1.
Daily reminder that the T1 is GOAT.

quick question, /hpg/
Onkyo A-9050 or Yamaha A-S701?
The Yamaha is more expensive, but is it worth it?
>>45195474
What does everyone think of my ultra comfy sonics?
DT880 is so much better than the HD800.

Honest post. Underrated post.
I need some good headphones for gaming and music. Im from the UK and like everything from mumford and sons to nujabes, and prefer an even tone.
My budget is around £100 or so.
Also fuck Beyers, I borrowed a pair from a friend and they were shitty AF
>>45195804
>$350 on Amazon
Ouch mate.
>Beyer's remorse
kek'd
All headphones suck. They collectively suck so hard that none of them suck, and all equally mediocre.
>>45196029
Headphones are for poorfags or babbies who dont have a place of their own and cant afford real speakers.
>>45196194
Or just lazy people who don't care about sound. Also people who have to travel frequently. Also people who need to work with, or listen to binaural audio like VR and shit.
>>45196194
>>45196241
There's nothing wrong with that. It only becomes a problem when headphone babbies start believing and arguing that their unnatural, inferior form of sound reproduction is better than speakers.
Reminder that Beyerdynamic's typically shitty engineering leads to the DT880 exhibiting significantly more fidelity-destroying higher order harmonic distortion than the fidelity leader in its price range, the HD600.
>>45196427
Why is Sennheiser so much better than Beyerdynamic at making headphones?
>>45196194
i have both. Canton Karat 720 powered by an Onkyo A9050 and Beyerdynamic DT880. I like both. I live in a house in the city, so the neighbours don't always want to listen to my music, which is why i prefer headphones every now and then.
My HTF600s finally died.

I will be using them only in my room, so its not that important.

I would be happy with a little more bass than the HTF600s. But anything balanced or midrange is fine I guess.
>Past headphones
HTF600s, lots of cheap ones that are not worthy of mentioning.

Rock, Jazz, Metal-Core, Electronica.

Can somebody tell me how to read these graphs? Common sense would tell me that DT880 is better.
>>45194344
as far as I know they're basically identical to the 668b besides the headband. so if you can deal with eqing the highs down some, they're a great headphone for acoustic music and/or gaming.
>>45195524
I would say v6, but since you game I would get the 681 evo or the 668b. v6 has a very narrow soundstage, not good for gaming. 681evo is a great all-rounder, but the bass is a bit boomy and the soundstage isn't as wide as the 668b. the 668b is amazing for classical, not so much for "modern" music, you don't get the thumping bass like with the other two (still powerful tough), but it is very detailed and has a very wide soundstage. the 668b is very open though so sound leak-isolation will be an issue.
you should also look at the xpt 100, m40x, and the k240. never tried those though.
>>45195877
Also if anyone could recommend a fairly good (yet cheap) DAC that'd be nice
