Logitech G930 Headset, Sony MDR-XB500
I am completely new to headphones, I'm sick of shitty gaming headsets and plan on buying a decent pair of headphones on Black Friday / Christmas. I will be using these headphones for a combination of listening and [spoiler]gaming[/spoiler] so I'm not entirely sure what is good for both at my price range. I've heard the AD900x are a good set with a great sound stage. Tried out the HD598 at a local store and liked that sounds however it seemed a bit dark. Any help/advice would be appreciated, thank you!

I have pic related, and can't use them because the USB DAC I had broke a while ago, obviously I can't plug these into my computers motherboard because there wouldn't be enough power to drive them.
I used to have a FiiO E9 DAC with a E7 plugged ontop of it, both of those products have been discontinued long ago, what would be the best way to make use of my headphones again? Money is not an object.

I've got some Phillips SHN9500's. One of my friends that used to work at Phillips gave them to me when she packed her shit up and left the country. They sound good enough playing music from my phone. Any /g/entooman audio experts have an opinion. I'm only just getting into Audiophile headphones and stuff.

I've been using Sennheiser MX170 for the past 2 years, I don't know if this shit is really good for 5€ or I'm just an ignorant
On an additional note I'm looking to buy Sennheiser HD 439 because they look good for an entry level, I can buy them on Amazon and they are perfect for my price range.
PS: I play a lot of Counter Strike so if anyone can suggest me a mic aswell I would appreciate it.

Is hyperx cloud I better than HD 439+mic?
finally some people recommended me some in ears
- RHA T20 : 230€,
- Fischer Amps FA-3 XB: 270€
I have no idea if they are good and wich one I should buy, or are there other, better ones for this price? 270€ is already a lot, I don't want to spend more than 250€ desu
I live in europe, want some bassy in-ears and don't really care about isolation
I listen to hiphop and weeb stuff mostly and will use them with my lg g4
I prefer not to carry it around, but I also have an amp if that's needed
>>51479219

>>51479226
You're way into diminishing return territory. You'd be fine with half the budget.
Also, why would you want IEMs if you don't need to carry them around?
>>51479426
diffuse field sound like utter shit
>>51479442
It doesn't and my aim was to make the response as flat as I could with sine sweeps, not really targeting DF itself. However the end results is quite close to diffuse field.
>>51479226
If available in your place, JVC FX 850. Otherwise get RHA T20i. If you have some spare money to throw, try Zero Audio Duoza if available.
How are the HE-400i? 299 doesn't sound like a bad price for them.
>>51479507
X2 costs as much as that, if not less. Nuff said.
>>51479226
I've only heard the T20 at RHA booth. Don't know what to feel about them, pretty bassy yes, but the recessed mids bugged me. Not my kind of IEM at all.
Actually, try what this anon said >>51479499
FX850 got a lot of praise and looks more promising.
>>51479537
Yes and the 400i absolutely blow the X2 out of the water. Get your shitty Reddit headphones the fuck out of here.

I'll probably pick them up. I do like the base of planars.

>>51479597
Good, the bass on the X2 is boomy and rolled off in the subbass so it sounds like shit
How are the TTPOD T1-E's? I'm looking for some cheap IEMs for when I'm just walking around and shit and don't feel comfortable wearing my hueg headphones. Looking for decent isolation since I'll be using them outside a lot, but want $25-50 range so I can feel alright throwing them around.

>>51480103
>can you recommend me anything with half the budget?
>Shure SE215
Looking at the measurements they have very emphasized -kinda boomy- bass, which should be good for hiphop and other nigger music, but the treble is very rolled off, and maybe it can be a problem with your weeb music.
From what I know those Shure are appreciated for being a decent musician's stage IEM (good isolation and comfort, okay build quality, ok sound) at a decent price, but overall they don't shine in anything and probably for a consumer there are better options.
There are others IEMs at that price range, like the Etymotic HF5 (in the last few threads they were highly debated, and honestly I can't tell you if they're considered good or bad), the RHA MA-750, the Yamaha EPH-100. Give those a look.
>>51480241
Blanket statement which is only half true.
>>51480345
name a single sennheiser headphone in production that absolutely needs a discrete amplifier because onboard solutions these days can't cope
>>51480320
yes the tweaks really worked well. damn I'm going to be up all night listening to music
>>51480210
price range, headphone type and preffered signature might help.
>>51480373
Well there you go. All depends on your setup right now. The HD 600 and upwards could need an amp in some cases. I haven't ran into problems myself but I wouldn't consider running HD 800s with Realtek codec even if I do get enough volume.
>>51480455
>but I wouldn't consider running HD 800s with Realtek codec even if I do get enough volume.
why? because it's not 'adequate' enough for such an 'expensive' headphone
don't kid yourself, the only reason to buy an amp for the hd800 is because you're
- too lazy to buy a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter
- want to adjust volume with a physical pot instead of software volume
>>51480478
>might be shitposting, might be stupid, probably both
>>51480499
please do elaborate as to why you'd need a discrete amp for such a sensitive headphone
>>51480439
Not really necessary, not for amps. O2 and Magni are the go to options for amps.
>>51480420
Good, good.
>>51480478
Nothing to do with price. I'm just sceptical how the codec will behave under load and want to be sure that there will be no issues driving the headphones with headroom to spare with volume even if I'm running negative preamp gain in software. High impedance and high sensitivity is an easy load but I'd rather just use onboard as a line out at most. I got the O2 and ODAC. This guy >>51480499 isn't me btw.
>>51480555
O2/ODAC is good for peace of mind, you know exactly how it will perform, but it's not enough to justify a -need- for them, it's more of a desire.
>>51480210
Reasons to get an amplifier:
-impedance buffer/high output impedance
-not loud enough
I guess if you like the look of an amplifier, that's something else too. But the core purpose of an amplifier is to make shit louder. You also have to define how loud is loud.
You don't need an expensive bit of electronics to make headphones work well, especially if you are only on desktop. Magni and Objective 2 variants are the go-to unnecessary amplifiers.
HD600 > your headphones
>>51477856
k612, k7xx, 558, dt800 if you can stand the treble peak. can't think of much more in that range. go up to $250-300 though and you can get hd600, x2, he400s, maybe even a PM3.

feels pretty good that you just get ignored most threads
>>51482851
Why?
Okay, so I just lost my in ear sennys and I am looking to pick up some new headphones.
In ear again, will be plugged into a phone, price is £20 or less (amazon.co.uk or argos will be preferably places to purchase from) I need pretty good isolation as I use them for my train journeys to and form university. Mic is not really necessary. I looked at the Universal earphone guide but I can't find any of them on Amazon or Argos
>>51482870
meelectronics m6. you could get better sound for the price, but with poor isolation. or if you can find the hje-450k and some thick foam tips of the blucell (not comply) variety that sounds great and isolates very well, a bit harder to buy though.
>>51482970
What would you recommend that has a better sound then?
I don't mind poor isolation as long as I can't hear people and people can't hear my music. Sometimes I wear my porta pros but the train attendants complain that it's too loud
>>51482999
well as far as cheap IEMs go you can't beat the piston 3, amazing sound quality. but the isolation is very poor. I use the hje-120k as my daily driver, they're only $7 and sound great for the price, they're also super comfortable. isolation is average. the m6 and 450k with foam tips are the best-isolating IEMs I own, but the m6 isn't that comfortable to me. my favorites are the 450k and piston 3. piston 3 is a bit more balanced than the 450k, which has more bass (once you add the foam tips anyways). you could try adding foam tips to most IEMs, they will increase isolation but also bass. all of these will be more isolating than a portapro. I doubt any will leak as much as a fully open headphone like a portapro.
>>51483103
Hmmm okay. Looks like theirs a lot more choices out there. I'm gonna try and look for some legit piston 3s on amazon and if I can't find any then I will get the. I could just get some foam tips for them to help with the isolation for the pistons I guess.
So annoyed that I lost my senhiessers. Got them for £15 reduced from £40.

>>51479622
I have them, Theyre comfy af and noise isolation is good. I use them for work everyday and no problems so far. The sound is fucking fantastic for dual drivers for its price imo. If you want something cheaper but similar take a look at KZ ATE or ED9s
how big is the improvement from 400i/HD600 to LCD-2/3? Is it worth the premium?

HD600>LCD3>>>LCD2>>shit>>HE-400i
>>51483458

>>51483440
They aight. Lots of clamp on small pads which spreads that clamping force over a small surface area making them painful to wear for prolonged periods of time.
Positioning them is also tricky as they can sound hollow if a seal isn't made between your ears and the pads. Overall it's probably one of Beyer's better headphones if you aren't looking for killer treble.
The bass extension is incredible, it reaches so deep it's almost unbelievable what these little things can do.
>>51483267
Are these legitimate or am I being fucking dumb?
anybody have any recommendations on decent headphone amps, preferably under 100$? I'm using a shitty hi-fi stereo amplifier from the 90s and the sound is terrible, even for my siberia headset.

Similar to psychovisual enhancements in the x264 encoder, it ruins your shit while you perceive the result as something of high quality.
Im going to buy some Razer Kraken USB headphones for christmas, This is my first ever pair of headphones. A lot of people are saying they sound fantastic but if you arent careful or are a bit rough the band can snap. 60$ is all i got this christmas. And with the website having free shipping on orders over 50 this is looking good. What do you guys think?

>>51484195
Save up or wait for a sale on almost any other pair of headphones/earphones. Read the list in OP's post. You can attach some generic $3 mics that will generally sound better than gaming headsets.
If you are persistent on buying a gaming branded headset, try to get a HyperX Cloud II or Cloud I secondhand or on sale.

I cant save up. If i wait the money will be used for something else. I've got a recommendation from a damn good friend who is pretty knowledgeable about this stuff. He said he had his for 6 months or so, still feel brand new, are comfortable and sound pretty damn good. But thank you for the advice, Im just not really wanting to dig around for the rest of my days looking for more, I already tried that.

Razer is shit dude, it truly is.
You can get the hyperx cloud on eBay for around $40 which aren't just bad gaming headsets, they are proper headphones (takstar pro80) rebranded and with a mic attached. They have loads of positive reviews if you look for them, definitely better than razer
>>51484542
If TH-02 is ON-EAR. So is MDR-7506 and V6. TH-02 is very affordable and sounds better than a HD201 a hundred fold.
>>51484598
All of it is like above 70-130$ i dont know where you got 40 from.

This shit came in the mail about 4 hours ago and it has no sub-bass and it sounds boomy as fuck. I fucking got trolled by /r/headphones and /hpg/.

DT770 is the undisputed king when it comes to subbass performance, it's literally perfection (80 ohm)

Who made that guide? I see it's been made today. Tascam TH-02 was never meant to be on top of your fucking ears as they hurt. They go half-on-ear, half-off-you-ears like the MDR-7506/V6.

Aww the beyer babby is crying now.
>>51484819
Can you fuck off with your shillposting, Reddit? I'm trying to fap here. At the very least don't reply to me if you're going to further damage control and shill muddy shit.
>>51484829
>shill muddy shit.
I don't shill beyers senpai
>>51484832
If you did maybe people wouldn't complain about you tricking them into buying garbage like the X2s
>>51484832
But beyers aren't muddy, that's senns and the x2, this is well known
the beyersremorse is strong
>>51484713
Oh you.
You're worse than Hitler.
You trolling him again with motherfucking DT990s?
I can't wait to hear him come back and complain about no mids and sibilance.
>>51484853
But >>51484682 is heavy buyers remorse as a result of the X2 lmao
You can try damage control all you want but you can't change facts, Reddit.
>>51484868
This, the damage is already done.
Good job wasting this guys money
>>51484865
>asks for bass like the M50

No wonder he hated it, he literally got recommended a downgrade. Who would have thought somebody could even manufacturer a headphone with lower fidelity than the M50.

HD558
pathetic X2 damage control, they can't do any frequency range right
subbass is rolled off worse than sennheiser, midbass is boomy as a nigger, midrange is non-existent, upper treble is spiky
why does anyone recommend this low fidelity trash?
>>51484878
Fuck my HD558 recommendation, if you want neutral at $100 go for MDR-V6 or MDR-7506.

>>51484698
im wearing it right now
good comfort, sound is pretty much the best you can get for a gaming headset and the mic is decent
>>51484894
see:
>>51484892
I didn't see closed. You can meme all you want, HD558 is very neutral for being an open headphone.
>>51484889
>why does anyone recommend this low fidelity trash?
Literally a meme, just like the 558, shp9500, x2
Memephones.
>>51484910
How is the HD558 a meme?
For $100, it's more neutral than anything at that price point, durable, comfortable.
>>51484910
Reddit really need to fuck off and stop recommending all that FOTM trash I swear to god.
>>51484923
>durable
How can you say this with a straight face?
>>51484612
Second hand
>>51484937
That's a HD555, the HD558's 2nd revision fixed this.
It's common knowledge.
>>51484954
Oh damn, I guess they never fixed the rest of the HDxxx series though eh?
>>51484968
>10 images of broken HD650/HD600
Good job! They've been on the market for a very long time.
>>51477757
>>51484902
And also MDR-7506/V6 is not ON-EAR either or else you get sealing issues and "no-bass". Both 7506/V6 and TH-02 have to be fitted on your head the same way.
>>51484968

One person in /hpg/ has them but they didn't compare or review it.

Did i do good buying sennheiser hd 518?
>>51486154
Depends on the price. Maybe. That model is kind of overlooked.
>>51486073
fuck off fucking x2 shill jesus christ man go suck a shotgun faggot
>>51486154
Never buy a Sennheiser unless it's the only option in your country
>>51486171
why not?
>>51486160

Kill yourself weeaboo reddit trash
Alright, poorfag here. My HD201 died after 4 years of usage.
Is the Sennheiser HD429 a good replacement? Or is there anything else decent in that pricerange?
>>51484542
as someone who has owned both the monoprice and the th-02 the tascam is far superior in sound, and while both have dodgy build quality the tascam can be made very comfortable with some new pads and headband padding. the monoprice cannot. also the th-02 is cheaper.
>>51486398
Tascam TH-02 has risen in price. See http://camelcamelcamel.com/TASCAM-TH02-B-Closed-Back-Stylish-Headphone/product/B00B1N06PO?context=browse
>>51486154
sennheiser headphones worth owning:
hd598 (558)
hd600
hd800
px100
hd25
momentum (maybe)
and all are overpriced obviously.
So I just received my ATH-TAD500s and after wearing them for an hour or two my ears become really sore due to the slight bubble in the metal on the inside of the cups. I was just wondering if anyone who owns these headphones has found a fix for this or whether you just get used to it. Thanks.
>>51486511
Add PX200. It was good when I had one for pubilc transportation a long time ago.
>>51486261
Overlooked as in not often recommended despite them being a good option for the price among with some other models. HD 558s are better but also tend to retail for quite a bit more.
>>51486511
HD 280 Pro is quite nice. Can't say HD 558, HD 600, PX 100 or HD 25(not Amperior or Aluminium) are overpriced.
I'm looking for an extremely lightweight pair of headphones for "someone else is in the room and they'll get annoyed if I play anime OPs through my laptop speakers" use. Headband, on-ear, around 50 dollars.
Any ideas?
>>51486339
Anybody?
Also looking at the ATH-M30x.
Just bought the M50X for $115, did I do well?
Make me not buy the Koss Porta Pro.
I have a Sennheiser HD407 (low-mid end open, very comfy) for home listening. I want to try something different. I want to keep it low-budget.
>>51486646
KPPs are great if you're actually going to bring headphones outside of your house.
>>51486658
Actually I don't plan to use them outside, as I commute in noisy environments a lot, and I like to have good isolation with volume, something I can get from my earbuds but not an open headphone.
>>51486711
*good isolation with low volume
>>51486711
Your car is usually outside of your house, Anon.
>>51486523
Yeah it's a pretty well known problem but it's also really easy to fix, all you need to do is cut your ears off and hey presto no more comfort issues
Hello!
>>51486619
No, get an HD 600 instead. It doesn't need an amp, it's high fidelity and it's neutral.
Thoughts on Hifiman-HE400i?
>>51487060
Hi there
>>51487172
If you can get it cheap then yeah, it's great. If not then get the hd600 or the 400s
>>51487172
HD600>>>>>>>shit>HE-400i
>>51487174
How's tenore?
>>51487220
Really good, quite detailed, good separation and imaging, balanced with surprisingly wide "headstage"
>>51477757
This looks really promising, but what about that huge dip at 4kHz? What sound would you expect from it?
>>51487174
Yo! I would buy a pair of AKG K601 like yours just because of their look, they look super cool and comfy at first sight. If AKG built a closed and easy-to-drive headphone for portable use like those, I would buy them instantly.
>>51487236
Too bad its too fragile for me. The small housing are really good for deep insertion, allowing high isolation. But the cable looks it can broken if you treat it a bit rough. How's the microphonic?
>>51487172
> 299 $
Low fidelity, overpriced junk. The horrible HD 598 sound better and cost half the price.
>>51487287
Yeah the cable does look a bit flimsy but it hasn't broken yet and I don't treat them as well as I should.
The microphonics are kind of crappy
>>51487270
Yup, sexy akgs :^)
Is it true that the AKG K7 series have the most detailed and spacious sound compared to headphones in the same price range?
>>51487265
A more compressed sound. If you don't like AM radio, it can even be a good thing.
Is V-shaped freq response recommended? How is that new HD 630VB? I want to upgrade, I currently use HD 555 bought it 6 years ago. But is it really worth the price (500$)?
>>51487507
>Is V-shaped freq response recommended?
Yes, don't listen to Sennshiro-tachi telling you that neutral is better.
>>51487265
Serious lack of clarity if you have to word it somehow. You can just EQ that shit tho.
>>51487507
m8, you would probably fare better trying HD 7 than HD630VB.
>>51487533
I consider HD630VB because it's closed
>>51487488
AKG is shit. It has no brand history. Look at the company profile of both Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic. AKG mentions stuff like DJs and Quincy Jones shit.
>>51487488
>detailed
No, that's the HD 600.
>spacious
Impossible to quantify or measure. Maybe? Many people seem to praise the "headstage" of those. Differences in the perceived spaciousness between headphones are rather tiny though.
>>51487552
>WE WUZ DJ'S N SHIET
kill you'veself
>>51487552
>AKG is shit. It has no brand history.
AKG was born in 1947 and they first produced a headphone in 1949.
Seriously, do you Beyertrolls and Sennshills take special autism pills or do you simply have fun at publicly embarassing yourselves?
>>51487556
> HD 600
It's not the same price range though. Still don't worry, I'm sure that Sennheiser has already poured some dollars into your account.
>>51487552
I knoe this is bait but AKG does that to target the young urban hipster crowd.
