There must be some guy here who loves having a FOTM meme to shitpost on this general. I wonder if he's actually having fun or he has passed the point of no return after which he's forced to behave like this by his autism. From the level of shitposting, I'd say the latter is more fitting to the case.

Is that even possible because beyerdynamic makes some of the worst headphones from an objective point of view.
People wouldn't buy speakers with a 9dB treble spike, would they? Yet trash like DT880 still sells.
how do i learn headphones
>>51394277
I disagree, although the bass could be a bit better honestly, I don't have any problem with the highs and I don't notice the scooped up mids. You can't deny that these are some comfy headphones though. They sound like my KEF 104/2s in some respects. I'm very impressed with them for the price. After eq theyre even better.
>>51394307
speakers don't have inherent treble issues like headphones
speakers also aren't complete and utter low fidelity garbage like headphones are, so there's that too

treble issues in headphones are caused by high frequency reflections off of the ears in such a small space, that should be common knowledge
as for the latter
>>51394498
Speakers give you bass issues for the same reasons.
The speaker is equalized to give that response, so that doesn't prove one better than another.

>>51394551

>>51394284
Can the Samson SR850 last as long as my shit pair of Turtle Beach X12s (lasted 5 years until wires broke). My brother had a pair of Pioneers ($150? Forgot the model) that snapped in 2 years.
>>51394556
Well, normally I'm a Sennheiser shill, but my payment is late, so I'm shilling for Philips out of spite.
>>51394548
you can try to beat around the bush all you want but headphones are and always will be inferior to loudspeakers
i think only the biggest retards (see: anaxilus) think headphones are even competitive
>>51394551
We have the same great taste :^)
>>51394551
Nice Fidelio X2s, good that they dont snap like hd600s.
>>51394551
HD600 owners all confirmed furfags
So guys, why do I hear a difference when I plug my x2s into an amp? Aren't they supposed to be efficient? I can hear the mid range come alive and the highs even out. This is with a schiit magni v1.
>>51394576
Yes.
>>51394581
Are those M2?
>>51394632
yes
>>51394627
I was able to hear the same without an amp after 100 hours of burn-in :)
>>51394627
>>51394581
Even more signal processing, this is not something that cannot be done to headphones. They don't look as flat when measured by a third party.
Would you like to tell us more baseless opinions?
>>51394627
Because the amp is not transparent like a O2
>>51394653
I'm guessing burn in is sped up with higher amperage.
I'm getting replacement from my headphones since there is something wrong with their build quality.
They are sending the new headphones to me first and expect me to put the current pair back in the box to ship back to them.
Can I get in any trouble if I just decide to keep both?
I don't live in the US which is where they are shipping from.
>>51394670
no please, do tell me more about how headphones are capable of sounding as good
>>51394690
not him but dat strawman doe
>>51394548
Bass response in a room can be corrected to a reasonable extent by clever placement. You can't really do much about your ear canals.
>>51394681
Not him but I noticed my magni v2 sounded colored compared to the jdslabs O2. The treble seemed elevated and unatural on my 400is. Could it really be that the magni isn't as transparent?
>>51394747
>Not him but I noticed my magni v2 sounded colored compared to the jdslabs O2.

so the trusted headphone man said the 400s is better and is even cheaper, how did Sennheiser shills deal with this? mass suicide?

The canal is fixed in all this: the ear canal has been shown to be invariant to direction. The pinna is the problem.
Looking at placement is looking at room treatment superficially. The central goal is to ensure a consistent pressurization throughout the acoustic space. Absorbers, cancellation, and placement are used. Placement is part of the problem with headphones, absorption is not practical for speakers.
>>51395596
I do have a fucking bluetooth speaker. It's no good because a kitchen can get really loud.
Gas stoves working, banging cutlery around, cutting shit, the oven. It all makes noises. Headphones are the perfect solution.
And not, I can't play music at full volume, my next door neighbours have a newborn child. I have to be considerate.
give me good music to test my new hd650s on
also holy fuck the clamp force is nuts

I am going to get a HD600, would I need an amp with a psu that gives off 750w? BTW the computer only uses ~381w
Should I get the Bose Soundlink or Quietcomfort? Or can you recommend me other sleek looking headphones between 200$ and 300$.
I mostly listen to music in an quiet environement. I also travel from time to time.
Music preference is Trance, Electro, Hiphop.

I'll probably only use them indoors or on flights only since they are so big. I'd rather buy the wireless ones but I'm sure about the sound quality of bluetooth headphones. And I don't wear eyeglasses so around-ear headphones sould be fine.

The HD 600
I know people shit on Bose a lot, but been looking for wireless headphones recently (in the under £150 range), and I can get a 45% discount on some Bose Soundlink AE2's.
So RRP of £240 down to £132.
Any opinions if this makes them any more worth the price?
I usually like my bass but heard they're more neutral for the most part but can still hit the lows.
Usually listen to indie, EDM, R&B, pop too.
Also any idea if these will be any good for gaming use too? They come with an aux cable so soundwhoring would be a nice benefit to my CS:GO skills too.
Cheers guys.

The only Bose worth buying are the QC25, because they have a very good ANC system, but really, if you won't use them in noisy environments don't buy closed (I don't know how many hours of flight you do every year, but for those occasions I'd simply buy a very isolating IEM and call it a day).

Ffs don't see how I missed that post >>51396450
I've also got 45% off the QC25's so £270 down to £149.
Not a massive fan of the need for batteries if not wireless and I thought active noise cancelling was even more pointless than being wireless anyway?
I just prefer overear headphones too even though I'm not bothered about noisy environments. IEM's never seem to fit my ear's well.
>>51396635

>>51396787
>>51396779
I heard that sound leaks because they're "open" headphones and that they're not good for a little heavy bass music... Is that true?
Otherwise I'd still go with one of these:
Sony MDR V6
Samson SR850
Superlux 681 EVO
???
>>51396663
First off, I've tried the QC25, and the ANC is kinda impressive (never had the pleasure to try one before, so maybe that's why I was impressed, nonetheless it worked quite well), and they don't sound *bad*, however even if I don't know what you can buy for 149£, I'm sure at that price point (210 euro) there are many good headphones available. I must say 210€ for an headphone that is sold at 299€ (279€ the Android version) is actually not a bad deal, but honestly if your needs don't require a good noise isolation, I'd look for something else.
>>51396535
SR-850.
It's a HD681 for $35 with VELOURS.
The best bang for buck in open headphones at the moment.
just bought KZ ATE, KZ ED9, Semos sr850.
how'd I do for a budget buy?
>>51396882
What about closed headphones under $100?
>>51396854
Yeah I don't care about the noise cancellation hence looking at the Soundlink AE2's instead.
I know it's a sacrifice in terms of audio quality but I'm pretty set on wireless headphones but was just wondering if the discount made them anymore worth purchasing than more expensive, full price counterparts.
>>51396882
Same price as the hd600 where I live
>>51396966
get hd600 then, it doesn't get better than that for headphones
>>51397152

Lambda Pro w/ED-1
>>51397214
Good luck finding one :^)
>>51397227
Doesn't matter, it exists and is better.
>>51396933
Again, wireless is really a bad gimmick: it gives an apparent freedom from cables, which by any mean is just an illusion, by giving in sound quality, which is going to suffer noticeably.
If you really want wireless headphones, then go for it, but I would still not spend 190€ for those Bose even if they're at a discount. Again, 210€ for the QC25 is not a bad deal at all, I'd go for it if I needed ANC, but with no isolation requirement, I woudn't buy anything Bose, or anything closed for that matters.
>>51397234

Do you think the clamp force on the HD-600s causes the typical user to go on these incoherent posting sprees recommending them to literally everyone spamming endlessly that they're the best due to the lack of oxygen in their brains?
Perhaps it is their brain subconsciously gasping for fresh air and clear dynamic sound but only shilling comes out?
>>51397877

>>51397877

I have ~$300 USD to spend on new headphones. It seems like there are 3 paths to go down
>Spend all money on headphones
>Buy headphones for lower price and spend remaining money on an amp and a dac

what do?
>>51398209
spend all the money on the headphones because there's a 99% chance you won't need an amp/dac

Just leave.
Just want to give my two cents about the X2. I'm no audiophile by any means so bear with my vocabulary.
I came from the K612 because I asked for neutral headphones here on /g/, but I found them anemic. It was not entertaining to listen to music from them and gunshots in games seemed weak. So I caved in and got the X2. The sound immediately sounded fuller and the bass finally had impact. At first it sounded a bit too muffled for me maybe because I transitioned from the K612 but now man... I can't go back. I love how these sound. Maybe my brain got used to it, since burn-in only results in insignificant changes, if at all.
Piston 2 or Piston 3? Guide says Piston 2 but I assume it is not updated.
>>51393592
I-Is that how I look like wearing X2s? I kinda like it.

My X2 will make me lose my virginity.
Is it just me or does anyone else only use their headphones on their computer.
>>51398786
that's dye on your face, not semen
>>51398803
Yeah I got one of those X2s that leak dye. What's weird is that it leaks overnight in my desk but it leaves no trace of dye on my face or fingers. Why is that?
>>51398802
too scared of being judged to use them anywhere else
>>51398802
where else are you going to use them? from your turntable like an autist?

Right, but if you're sitting behind your desk 99% of the time it really only matters in that one spot which can be corrected pretty well with simple placement. Yeah the back of the room is probably going to sound like shit, but who cares?

On Ear? Have you taken a look at the Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear?
Sony MDR1A or Momentum 2.0
with no amp desu
what price point would i need to jump to for a noticable difference between my single driver (ath im-01) iems?
>>51394551
>falvie
Nice.
Got that pineapple activis
Has anyone tried to modif akg k551 here
? Is it easy to do or not?
>>51399931
Isn't im-02 and im-03 using multiple driver? How about jumping into that.
I bought 2 JBL 305 speakers, while it sounds nice enough it didn't really feel worth the price.
I have it on board my computer desk so maybe the elevation is not high enough.
Would it make a bigger difference if I buy also a stand set for it and also a subwoofer?
>>51400065
Tweeters at ear level
Subwoofer will help if you listen to music that has low frequency content
>>51400086
Any recommendation for a subwoofer that wouldn't make too big a hole in my wallet?
HD600 > your headphones.
>>51400113

>>51400065
Also I see there's stands with trays and without. How the heck can install the monitors on top on those without the trays?

Subwoofers are expensive because they are heavy and take lots of materials and they need a big driver and amplifier.
The best option is DIY if yo have the skill, otherwise just buy the sub designed to go with them.
>>51400065
how do you have them setup right now?
>>51400144
these are for PA speakers, they have mount holes
>>51400152
I sense a flamewar coming up *eats popcorn*
>>51400189
Just let the shills jerk themselves, nobody above the age of 18 pays attention to them.
Got a pair of AKG K7XX on the way. How did I do?
>>51400202
Fine, ignore incoming HD600 shills.
>>51400159
Like this image for now, just on top of the table
>>51400180
So I need the one with trays for JBL 305?
>>51400246
Well those are 308s are much larger, try have them setup more like this (taken from a bst thread)
>>51399838
>>51399751
On ear isn't a deal breaker, but i have somewhat larger ears and i need them to be comfortable.
>>51400246
Alternatively like this. Tweeter above you is still better than below. Just make sure you form a triangle with ideally the same distance between you and the speakers as the distance between the speakers themselves.
>>51400108
Considering you bought studio monitors, you're probably gonna need a studio sub to go with it (for proper inputs). I've got a PreSonus Temblor T10 which is pretty good paired with 5" monitors, but expect to pay $300 or more for a decent sub. Difference is really nice and day.
>>51400281
Those small stands are pretty expensive

How is wall mounted stand?
Like this one: http://www.amazon.com/B-Tech-BT77-Ultragrip-Speaker-Black/dp/B004DCAOHK
>>51400630
a bad idea with the rear ported jbls
keep them as far as you can from the rear wall
I will most likely be buying a pair of mr speaker mad dogs, what is a cheap headphone amp I can get to use it with my pc?
>>51400202
mine are coming in the mail too, I bought them on a whim.
what should I expect?
Just looking for a quick answer.

I like a warm sound, otherwise I don't mind.
>Preferred music
Taste is all over the place.
Basically, I want a pair that goes around the back of the ear because I hate cable noise. Something well built with good isolation in this price point is preferred.
Considering the IM50, IM70 and SE215.

Where's the fidelio X2, you imbecile?
what is a low pass filter for on a subwoofer? why would you want to cut off some frequencies? what is the use case?
>>51400152
oh come on
you guys are falling for this shit this easily? not only is he a senn fanboy, hes poor to boot.
Are there any measurements of this headphone?
>>51401101
you can use it in combination with a satellite high pass on the passthrough or the speakers themselves to act as a crossover when using the subwoofer as a low frequency extension
but even if it's used as a 'real' lfe channel in a multichannel setup sometimes it's useful to limit the range so the subwoofer isn't localizable when the mix includes a full range-y signal on the lfe channel, I think thx specifies a 120Hz high cut on the lfe to avoid that
>>51401161
er, too technical, i cant understand. i think for the second part you wanted to ensure that the bass doesnt overpower the other frequencies yes? but for the first sentence i dont understand what the point is.
>>51401232
if you have a stereo setup you want to extend with a subwoofer then the best plan is to crossover the low frequencies to the it (the same way as it's internally done in the bookshelf speaker's tweeter and woofer) to avoid 'doubling' the frequency range that's played both by the bookshelf speakers and the subwoofer.
it means there's a lowpass set to the same middle frequency for the subwoofer as the highpass is on the bookshelf speakers (if available), or the passthrough on the subwoofer completely takes care of that by cutting the low end before the audio is passed to the speakers.
what other open headphones have memory foam pads like the x2s? anything good?
>>51400641
Why would it be a problem with rear ported? No space?
Philips SHP9500 or sennheiser 558? I can get the 9500s for $70 on eBay rn
>>51401767
Bass gets really muddy when the ports are blocked and pushed up against wals

>>51401778
How far away do you need the ports to be away from the walls? 20 cm?
