Why are these threads always misogynistic as fuck?
>>51313677
Why do you care

I care because women are pushed away from participating in threads like these, because of the sexist imagery.

On-ear are usually not that comfortable over extended periods of time, while IEMs are subjectively better in this regard. For that budget you can give a look to the MEElectronics M6 Pro which are a new product, but on head-fi seems to be quite appreciated. Otherwise look at the earphone guide in the OP

I don't want opinions. I want people to stop recommending headphones and IEMs that haven't been measured.
>>51313805
>I have no choice but to be offended
Ok
>>51314501
Are you incapable of reading what it says on the website? From what I read the uber just has preamp outputs and more power.
>>51314546
Would more power means better sound quality? Also the uber adds on to function with IEM, meaning there isn't much added on right?
imma go save up for these babies.See you back in a few months /g/
People might even think I won an apple product <3
>>51314711

>>51314799
They know their audience well.
>>51314657
>power means better sound quality
More power you never use does nothing. Not even that much.
The Magni 2 added that sensitive headphone/IEM function with the gain toggle. Uber 2 adds preamp outputs to other devices you might have.

ahhh, theres the classic stereotypical sjw reaction
disregard all evidence and act condescending
use words like 'educate' as if their opinions are objective
any headphones you'd recommend with a different 'sound' than the sony v6s? I've had them forever and want to hear all my old music in a new way.
Nominate a headphone which:
- has better detail
- is more comfortable
- is in the same price range
- doesn't need an amp to sound great
- has better build quality
- is funnier
- is more balanced

Senn HD600 is better in all those categories except being "funnier."
Also if you don't have an amp, then you are PLEB tier.
>>51315322
>senpaitachi
i didn't know anyone actually pluralized that
>>51315339
It is also factually impossible for a headphone to be both balanced AND "fun."
They are two complete opposites to each other. I have both the HD600 and X2, and the X2 are distinctly U-curved and the spikes in the treble are almost as fatiguing as Grados.
HD600 are as close to balanced you can get in an open headphone. For a closed headphone, in the price range, there is nothing better than the Oppo PM3 as far as balance and neutrality.

they're literal midcannons how can anyone call them balanced when they have no bass or treble
I wash here yesterday talking to some really helpful guys and decided on the Superlux HD688B
and Sony ECM-CS3 Microphone.
Now all I need is an Amp. Is this one good:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kilimanjaro-Portable-Headphone-Amplifier-E11K/dp/B00MFMW29I/ref=sr_1_11?s=receiver-speakers&ie=UTF8&qid=1447359868&sr=1-11&keywords=DAC
Head Fi says so but just want you to clarify.
>>51315476
If you seriously believe that the X2 are balanced then you think the U curve is balanced.
X2 have TOO MUCH treble and bass, which is why they are NOT balanced and why the HD600 is balanced. That is exactly why the X2 are "fun" headphones but to call them balanced is embarrassing yourself, you goddamn stupid fuck.
>>51315535
i'm not him nor did i say the x2 were balanced
the hd600 are not balanced and balanced does not mean neutral, although it really should

>open or closed
Closed preferred, but if open is better for my kind of music and guitar playing then I can live with open
>comfort
Goes without saying as comfy as possible, but again if sound quality would be better then I'll accept less comfort (side note, if plugged into guitar amp then I will need a bit longer cord, unless you can also suggest a headphone extender or something to help)
>preferred music type
85% heavy metal (80s metal, alternative, metalcore, djent, grind core, very guitar oriented as I've stated above. Double bass drums might be only thing bassy)

5% folk (Mumford and sons, etc)
>past headphones
This would be my first big headphone purchase. Previous ones- turtle beaches, random earbuds, nothing over $20. So basically nothing.
>>51315555
I don't care what some normie thinks "balanced" means. It SHOULD mean neutral so I am using it in the rightful context. Anyone who praises a normie headphone like the X2 has no right to denigrate the legendary HD600.
>>51315611
>normie
do you even know what that means? you can spout memes all you want in a futile attempt to fit in but it won't make hd600 any more balanced
balanced shouldn't mean neutral, neutral should mean balanced. hd600 are not balanced because they have recessed treble and bass
>>51315633
The HD600's treble and bass is not ACCENTUATED like the X2 you unbelievable moron. The HD600 absolutely are both balanced and neutral, and the X2 is a trashy "fun" headphone with EXAGGERATED treble and bass. Can you really not comprehend this?
>>51315659
>not accentuated = rolled off with signature sennheiser VEIL
enjoy your am radio
>>51315666
Look at the frequency response curve of the X2 and compare it to the curve of the HD600 which is objectively closer to the neutral response that is perceived by the human ear.
If you want to look at the graphs, it's not hard, just use google. I am not going to do it for you because I think that your retardation cannot be cured so it would be a waste of effort.
>>51315666

Innerfidelity on X2: "Improved acoustics and diaphragm take this headphone to another level, delivering terrific balance and neutrality while keeping the music exciting overall."

I just received my Philips SHP9500s not one hour ago and I already love them and I got them for 100 but I think they're 70 on amazon right now, I don't have much experience in headphones but after reading up on these I couldn't find a bad review and I don't think I could give them one myself at this point, although I've only had them for an hour. They sound great and neutral but they are OPEN. The bass is light but you can eq it up as I already have and it sounds great. I wrote this while listening to Currents and it sounds fantastic. For 70 bucks you can't go wrong, I don't doubt they'll get cheaper on black Friday either.
The first statement of mine was actually directed to >>51315339

But I'll look the Sony mdr 7506 up. If it's not that more expensive I'll get them instead. If they are I guess I'll ask again in the next /hpg/ thread, as some in this thread don't even want more people to buy headphones.

Look in the archives a few months backwards and you'll see that everyone rages if the op image is not a anime wearing headphones. But the image right now has big boobies and is mostly naked. There's no clothes in this threads first image. Having an anime character wearing headphones was the normal image months ago. This was when there was at least two /hpg/ threads at the same given time and both of them were anime. God forbid if we had a 3DPD wearing headphones here would you like that? There's a lot of irl girls wearing headphones but I don't see it getting posted often. Maybe because 3DPD?

>>51318807
The challenge is finding a headphone that doesn't fall off while headbanging. It involves a lot of clamp, and a lot of head pressure. Nothing Audeze has made puts more pressure on my head than DT1350/HD 25. The weight on the neck doesn't mean anything.
Comfort gets worse if I don't sit straight, and I like leaning.
>>51319152
Zero times.

which of the Shure in-ears are worth a punt then? I am happy enough with My HD600's with Amp for overear but I was going to go between the 425's or the Bose QuietComfort 20i's

>>51320632
The requirements here:
-high isolation
-shallow fit
Am I wrong?
>>51320704
they're basically the only shure in-ears worth their price
for the 425's price i'd just get the etymotic er4s if i were you
>>51320729
yeah they are for travelling while not losing all semblance of quality in my music.

Are their any more recommendations for some in ears around for around 100 - 200 before I buy the SE215's?

>>51321214
80ohm if you don't want to buy an amp additionally but with your budget i'm sure you could pick up the 250ohm with a magni 2 (and never have to worry about powering 99% of headphones ever again)

Yeah, as long as they sound good and dont fall out easily I'll be happy. Not really looking for the retarded sport looking ones with the big piece of plastic that sits behind your ear though.

Anyone tried the beyerdynamic dx 120 or 160's. I know fuck all about in ears and I'm selecting them based solely on the fact that I love bavaria.

Wouldn't the microphonics from such movement affect the tubes? I recall foot stand sellers shilling their foot stands for amps ssince microphonics would affect the tubes (or transistors)

Wtf? you should not bother to use M-80 or DT880 for the brutalist that Gould was. I would use M-100 or something like DT990 instead.

Why not just go the modmic/Boompro route? I've been thinking of getting the meme Fidelio x2 because I can plug my modmic that's on my M-100 straight to the Fidelio x2.
>>51322436
Just get a standing mic and a pair of headphones
>>51322352
>>51323412
Yeah, you are definitely right about the mod mic. I should probably look into getting modmic considering I have to get a new pair of headphones as well. Can anyone recommend a pair around the $100-$150? Should I just wait for the cyber monday deals?
>>51323630
Wait till Cyber Monday, the headphone deals pop up. Sennheiser's Gaming headsets are really their headphones strapped with a mic and then sold at double the cost to you.
Beyerdynamic and Audio-Technica at least gives you a USB sound card with it, but again, you are paying a crapton.

>You're missing the point senpai
i personally like the LEDs because they look neat but that statement was poking fun at spergs who hate them
>>51324149
While I really do like the design, the artist is very talented.
It's a sense of style that I worry about, a lot of people would buy them, because that's who they are marketed towards, but I'm going to see them and feel somewhat cringe because it doesn't have the same visual appeal than that from what we see in the sample photos.

Build quality is not as good as 65th anniversary K702. High end isn't the strength of these. Will need to look at the graph.
So, according to Inner Fidelity, Stax SR-207 with 507 leather pads measure almost as good as 507 (and much better than 207 with stock pads), which is kind of interesting.

>All DT-880 variations are voiced to sound close to electrostatic headphones in terms of transient response and speed

>>51324464
>All DT-880 variations are voiced to sound close to electrostatic headphones in terms of transient response and speed
That was their goal in 1980 though
But transient response on the DT880 to this day is still very good compared to current offerings
>>51324486
To add to this they were basing it on the performance of their own estat which they started manufacturing in 1976 i think
>The new DT 770 and DT 990 Premium Line headphones which feature a so-called "diffuse-field equalized" frequency response are suited for audiophiles.
Was DF v-shaped in the 80s or were the old 770/990 models actually DF equalized and they just made the newer revisions more v-shaped? I think I recall Ken Rockwell talking about how he preferred his old 990s to HD800s and them not being bright
>>51324486
>transient response on the DT880
If you understand what transients are, you might realize it isn't that important, unless you are the type that likes their SACD collection with 40kHz response.
>>51324578
The theory proposed in the mid-80's goes something like a perfectly diffuse-field accurate headphone would sound perfectly flat. Based on the general subjective reception of various headphones, with varying DF accuracy, and multiple hearing studies, that seems about right.
>they just made the newer revisions more v-shaped
Beyer actually tried to make a few tightly diffuse field equalized headphones in the past. They no longer exist. DT880 from the 1980's was tuned with less treble, that much I know.
I recall the DT 880 Monitor EF was one of their more strict DF tuned models. DT 831 might have been tuned in this general direction as well.
You can never afford these
