Never really bought serious headphones before, but I guess everyone has to start somewhere. If I have ~250 to spend on headphones and hardware, should I buy an amp and a dac? If so, how much should I spend on each piece?
>>51255812
What's with those two larger holes on your DT880?
>>51255863
i took the little DT880 nameplate off (out of boredom) and there's nothing to really fill the holes with. i wonder if i can buy a DT880 pro replacement grille and stick it in instead

Should I get these as an upgrade from AD700's? I love audio technica lightness and comfort.
Only concern is that these are made in Taiwan and not Japan

>Only concern is that these are made in Taiwan and not Japan
Literally does not matter.
The R70x is what I'd consider a nice upgrade unlike the AD900x which is too similar.

Just heard my friend's ER-4PTs. Perfect sound but I really dislike the cable noise that occurs when it rubs on my shirt.

Are these legit /g/? Considering how shit the Canadian dollar is, I have no idea why these are ~160 CAD
Should I buy?
>>51257295
No fakes, it's not popular and it's from Japanese sellers where the item sells most.
>>51256508
Had to order new rectifier diodes for the bridge I blew in my amp's power supply. That's what I get for taking some bad advice on how to change the grounding scheme to decouple some stuff. Ah well, it's only about five bucks worth of parts. It just sucks having to wait most of a week to get them.
>>51257308
Well for this price range there's no way there are better headphones right?
I can't think of anything that comes close off the top of my head
>>51257346
I can't think of anything at the moment, it's a good deal. Go with a reputable seller (>99% and with lots of ratings).
>>51257346
Used stuff mostly, and the market is pretty small for that in Canada considering you get screwed if you import.
>>51255744
Whatr your guys thoughts on these?
why was the m50x removed from the 200 and under guide?
should i still buy that come black friday/cyber monday or dt770s without an amp?

>>51255852
You can spend those money for buying an X2, which is plug and play and is absolutely amazing without an amp.
Or you can buy a HD600 or a DT 880 or a AKG 7XX and spend at least twice as much to get an amp to drive them.
It's your choice.
>>51257847
It's just a little over my budget. Don't got enough cash on hand.
Anyone try these?
I'm sure the sound quality isn't the best, but I already have a nice pair of full size headphones for home and want a wireless iem for portable use. Iems with dome-shaped tips never stay in my ears so these look like a good option.
>>51258710
If you really aren't after pure sound quality and instead convenience then get anything with wing tips like the Bluebuds.
Do IEMs that go around the back of the ear still have cable noise?
are flange tips better than foam tips on iems?

the ivory ones are sexy as fuuuuuuuck. But the price is too steep and there seems to be very weak isolation. You pay for the looks but sound gets real disappointing when using them in public.

My KZ ED09's driver voice coil got damaged for some unknown reason.
>>51259593
i was considering getting the HD650 later on to have a warm compliment to my DT880s, am >>51255812
let me know how they go
>>51259004
Not quite. It may be easier to get a seal with flange tips, comfort is another thing. Foams usually isolate a bit more, control treble peaks a bit.
>>51258870
Dramatically reduced. The ear kills almost all of it. You still have to worry about the occlusion effect, but that's a completely different thing.
>>51259624
they'll be here in a few days, got em for $350 cause a friend bought them with a bestbuy discount. will update then, though.
>>51259768
i can get them for ~$300usd new
i think i'd prefer to get something like an srs-2170 system but i can't stand leather/pleather pads and the opening in the stax pads makes it look to me like they rest on your ears and aren't large enough to actually get around your ear
>>51259792
Lambda's are actually fucking huge, bigger than you think from looking at the pictures. Omegas are smaller. Both fit around your ear fine.
Any bone conduction headphones apart Aftershokz out there?
>>51259835
yeah looking at some photos of people actually wearing them now i understand how they actually fit
still the leather is a problem and given my location i have to commit to headphones since there's nowhere to really demo them, at least that i'm aware of. i only know one store that mainly sells loudspeakers and vinyl setups that have some hd800s to try which i did
>>51259853
Yeah, electrostatics are super seal dependent so you need leather pads or the bass is fucked. I like leather though so it's never an issue for me.
>>51259875
yeah i figured they were moreso than planars.
that does beg the question of whether focus/jerg style pads would work on estats though but i imagine the lack of that being done by anyone suggests it wouldn't

It'd be nice if they came with a mic that can be turned on or off, but not essential
>>51259883
Probably just people not wanting to cut up $50-$130 ear pads, and the fact you get a nasty midbass hump if you muck up the seal. Might be worth trying on some old Mk-III's or Mk-V's though. That's cheap enough to fool with and they'd probably need new pads anyway because of their age.
>>51259883
>focus/jerg style pads
It was taken from the HE90 pad design, which was an inspiration for the Jerg pads. It seems they reused that concept in the upcoming HE1060.
I hope I dont get bullied for this.
But out of these headphones, which one is better for using as a mic for playing games on PC and on a PS4?
I'd like to listen to music with them too, without an amp.

>>51260889
>new A&B
Yuck
>>51260889
>those meme cables
lole
>>51261264
Maybe.
Some people said they're unlistenable without EQ or tube amp, but that doesn't seem the case for me. Either they're exaggerating or can't handle bright headphones and spouting shits about synergy with HD800.
>>51261448
Is there an other headphones that are better than the HD800 in terms of sound quality?
>>51261472
HE1060 :^)
>>51261511
>HE1060
Why do they cost so much
>>51261472
Maybe the electrostats if that's your thing.
But if you're looking at Stax's higher end models, they come with expensive amp so it isn't worth it for me.
Else, take a look at the planars like HiFiMan or Audeze.
>>51261448
Tubes taming the treble is a meme that needs to die.
HD 800s are bright headphones. In terms of fidelity they are meh for the price. I have them and use a rather precise EQ which I posted to the last thread.
>>51261540
Because muh 25 years of engineering
>>51261561
That's how the synergy meme born in head-fi.
I've had 3 people telling me to get best pairing amp for HD800.
I like bright headphones so even stock HD800 isn't a problem for me, I could even listen to them through my phone. Sure, the retail price is crazy but I got mine used for cheap :^)
>>51261472
HD600.
HD800 is obsolete with the announcement of the HD800S.
>>51261472
More than 10 actually
>>51257535
I got mine on clearance for $139 and in very happy especially since winter is coming soon, my ears will be nice and warm walking and listening to music. Sound quality you get a very warm and crisp sound. The bass is sadly lacking so if you gonna get crunk buy some nigga cans. I wouldn't pay anymore than $150 but then again I'm a cheap honkie.
>>51261592
I mean yes the sound is good even stock and yes they work pretty damn well from my phone too but I much prefer them after EQ.
I got them for 840e brand new. Local store had a 30% off of all electronics which made some of the high end stuff particularly good deals. After the HD 800S announcement I probably won't get my money back if I sold them but I haven't regretted getting them at all. After the EQ I can't find a flaw. I don't use my other headphones anymore.
I think synergy predates Head-Fi.

What headphones would be good for me,
they need to cover the ears and not clamp too hard, also be durable.
I need something that can last.
Mainly would be used for games. Also no multi channel shit like 7.1.
Budget is 150€.
Would FiiO E10K be a good future investment?

Does anyone here owns a pair of Shure SE215?

>>51263879
just checked google in my country not a single mention of XPT100.
Any other headphones that are more common that fit that criteria?
I made the mistake of buying a Fiio product and it's probably going to explode soon.
What's a decent DAC/Amp combo that is around $100?

>>51263633
That was my first instinct but I had a look at them and it seems they changed quite a bit. Many seem to prefer the Piston 2's and I don't really like the shape of the 3's
Don't know shit all about earphones though which is why I'm asking here for a good pair around £25
>>51264095
Brainwavz HM5. They're the same headphone of the NVX XPT100: they're both built under license from Fischer Audio IIRC.
>>51264107
Behringer UCA-202/222. If 60 ohms output impedance is too high, hook up line out to cmoy amp(you can get DC powered versions too). Around 60 - 70 bucks combo.
Been thinking about getting the Fiio X1 as a DAP, but the short 11-hour battery life is a pretty huge turn-off. What are some good, inexpensive DAPs that get the job done well and have a much longer battery life?
(I have no access to any of the Sansa DAPs besides the Sport, nor do I have access to older iPods).

Nice meme nigger
>>51264342
I bought the wrong version of the DT-880s by accident and got stuck with the 32ohm version, so I'm guessing 60ohm output would dampen the sound, right?
>>51264343
Check the new a15 walkmans brah
>>51264072
Quite bass heavy.
>>51264531
The reverse happens, the driver resonance is underdamped. Scenarios like this are exactly what Beyer makes 600 ohm headphones for.
>>51264668
>Quite bass heavy.
In a bad way, or in a way someone who likes how the Fidelio X2 sound might like?

>>51264739
Ruizu X2 or Xduoo XD-02
>>51264531
Just get cmoy or chinese headphone amp off ebay, just check out the output impedance beforehand(they do make some interesting tube amps for around 50 -70 buckaroos(
>>51264695
It was more bass than I remember from X2. More subbass extension too.
I've got K7XX headphones and a FiiO E17. Is it worth getting an E10 to go along with it? Is it a noticeable upgrade?

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/fiio-e17k-alpen-2-usb-dac
I need a dac/amp for my new headphones.
Anyone here outside america found bargains with massdrop?
So I got the O2 and HD300s and I'm wondering if I should put high gain on the amp since the 300s are 300 ohms.
Question what is a better headphone the HD650 or HD600? Too many people say different things and I don't know which one I want to buy
>>51265932
Lower gain is lower noise floor. That's always better. Only use high gain if low doesn't get you the volume you need.

>>51266237
HD600 is more accurate, HD650 deviates from accuracy to provide more bass.
>>51266565
so should I choose the 650 if I listen to music with drums and beats?
>>51266595
You should choose accurate headphones for any kind of music.

>>51266643
Maybe because Sennheiser sells more headphones than both of those companies combined.
>>51266647
Bass are the lower notes in music, drums and beats contain a lot of bass.
>>51266632
People here are very harsh against headsets and won't probably give you any recommendation.
I still own my CM Storm Sirus 5.1 and I find them good for gaming. Unfortunately I'm forced to plug it to my pc with a usb, because I have only one jack. If you have at least 5, you may enjoy them much more.

It has decent build and is fully modular. A few broken images doesn't prove that it has shit build. Also consider that the HD600 has been around since 1996.
The driver matching is acceptable and fidelity levels in the bass and treble are very good, sub-40Hz the driver rolls off because it's not of high importance in music playback.
>>51267071
>shit build
>shit driving matching, literally more variance than hd600 compared to hd558
>not balanced at all, only just neutral because they rolled off the treble so much it wouldn't spike from reflections
>sennkeks literally don't know what bass is
not sure why HD600 being around since 1996 is impressive, all they have done over the years is modify the driver a little bit. pretty sure dt880s have been around since 1980 and even then they had better build quality, it has only improved over the revisions they made
>>51267071
> around since 1996
because sennheiser is to incompetent to make a successor that doesn't have cheap plastic
>>51267039
It is though, name a headphone in production that you can buy which is more neutral than the K702.
>>51267111
>>51267071
beyerfags and sennshits are still arguing build quality
see >>51266643
Do any of you own a pair of Xiaomi Piston 2s? If so, how bad is the sound leak?
>>51267115
>but sennshit is better its overpiced useless shit like my 980ti
>>51267111
DT880 is trash and has inferior build quality though. It's quicker to break a DT880 than it is to break a HD600 because DT880's poor design stresses the gimbal.
>>51267115
HD600, HD598, ER4S, etc.

lolno i just brought up an example of a headphone that has been in production longer

Salty because you use AMD shit, son?
Enjoy your poor driver, poor frame times, poor FPS in Gameworks titles, poor emulation performance, etc.

>>51267189
>>51267166
And I can go on and on, K702 is far from neutral.
Literally a rollercoaster response past 1kHz.
>>51267202
While DT880 is obviously the worst of the big three, the HD650 is the best in that scenario.

Seriously, fuck your AMD trash, it's shit for poorfags and have far inferior performance. Literally only good for mining bitcoins.
It's too bad your favorite company is trash because I could have gotten a better product than a 980Ti if AMD provided competent competition.

The benchmarks and measurements speaks for themselves.

Then why do you keep shitposting/shilling about it if you aren't insecure about the fact that you have shit taste in GPUs and headphones.
What IEM/cIEM does have /hpg/ have?
I like how HD 600 appreciators keep on saying "my fidelity, my neutrality", thinking that flatness is what makes a headphone good. Balance is what makes a heapdhone good, be it flat or coloured.
Deal with it, daddies: your precious 90's hipster jewel has been outperformed by AKG and Philips latest products.
>>51267356
More like superior taste in GPU and headphones.
I bet you don't even calibrate your monitor, poorfag.
Enjoy your shit colors.

Has anyone listened to the K7XX or K712?
If people think the HD600 is veiled, they should listen to those two headphones.
You can get a HD518 which is sounds better than those AKGs for way less money.
Fidelio X2 is just boomy headphones that casual listeners would enjoy. They aren't trash like the AKGs but it's colored shit too.

all these comments aren't helpful if you all have different opinions, one person says Sennhiester is shit, while the other says the opposite, who am I supposed to believe?!

>colored shit
that doesnt mean they dont have a place as great headphones. if someone wants a v shape, im going to tell them to get x2s.

wait some of you havent even calibrated your monitor? jesus christ

Learn to read measurements and make up your own mind.
/hpg/ won't be able to give you any useful advice for the next month or so.
>>51267453
anon pls
next thing you tell me you don't eq your headphones. how's that inaccurate representation treating you?

>CALIBRATE YOUR FUCKING MONITOR
ok
>>51267524
No the reality is that AKG, Philips and Beyer appreciators like us don't have a refined taste in music and we're wrong because we don't think that sound quality = flatness.
>>51267581
he probably has some poorfag gaming monitor because he couldn't afford a good professional monitor like >>51267482
