>HD598s might be ugly as fuck but it's more durable than your DT770.
OK boss.
I've stepped on the cord of my DT770 while cooking in the kitchen, ripped them off my head and slammed into the tile floor, done this multiple times.
Still perfect.
>>51543027
They're quite neutral and require deeper insertion than most IEMs. If you don't like it just return them.
>>51543057
That just means that the DT770 can take a beating. The HD598 can take even more of a beating.
I know it sounds like shilling but the HD598 has really flexible plastic and they don't crack or snap anymore. So to call it a snapheiser is kind of unfair. Keep on calling it veiled or whatever because at least there is a basis for that.
what are some good open headphones for around 100 euros?
>>51543058
Neutral is what I'm going for and I'm used to ear plugs so it should be okay.
Can you teach me to enjoy flat sound, senpai-tachi?
>>51543087
How about you both are wrong. They aren't veiled unless you are driving then with massive output impedance jack. The headband is super flexible but the part connecting headband to the ear cups still tends to crack. Just like the plastic slider thing on Beyers tends to crack.
What's a good pair of IEMS around $50?
>>51543027
Write a review if you have time.
>>51543140
That has been revised. It occurred in first revision HD5x8s.
ey /g/ays, what's better, HD598 or SHP9500?
Or is there a better option at this price point?
>>51543140
>Just like the plastic slider thing on Beyers tends to crack.
amazing how that still hasn't happened after owning them for years and repeatedly slamming them into a tile floor and throwing them across my living room
Also amazing is that they cost 13 dollars to replace and can be done with a philips screwdriver, while sennheiser headbands are held together with plastic clips (not screws) which have a high probability of cracking when just disassembling the headphone.
It's like a dash on a car, every time you take it apart you have a 99% chance of breaking some plastic tabs or clips.
>>51543189
SHP9500
>>51543189
Zeos says that the SHP9500 are as good as the HD 600.
>>51543141
Latest Pistons? I don't really keep up with IEMs.
>>51543189
HD558 for best bang for buck. SHP9500 is discontinued and there is no option of replacing the earpads when it gets worn out.
>>51543194
Torx not philips.
>>51543228
reddit get the fuck out, nobody cares about anything anybody on that site says
>>51543194
Yeah not every Beyer or Sennheiser breaks in use and you are correct about the replacement part.
>>51543181
I swear I've seen that in new versions too. It starts to crack vertically from the outside edge of the part where the headband slides in.
>>51543189
HD 558
>>51543228
So?
>>51543250
Sennheiser users are edgy these days
>>51543228
No it isn't.
SHP9500 has weaker sub-bass, weaker upper midrange and more treble when comparing it to the HD600, this was from my personal listening session. It's downright inferior.
The fags who claim HD600 has no bass in these threads should hear the SHP9500's sub bass. It's a joke, like a bit more bass than an AD700x.
>>51543287
Sennheiser is trash, philips is even more trash
>>51543284
>I swear I've seen that in new versions too. It starts to crack vertically from the outside edge of the part where the headband slides in.
No, that's on the old revisions.
Maybe it was an old unit. With the headphone being fairly popular, if that occurred we would have been noticed about it already on /hpg/ and there would be a lot of pitcures.

The only meaningful way to evaluate headphone performance is via frequency response.
HD600 happens to be the most accurate full-sized solution. Does that make it the best? No, but it does make it stand out from the crowd. Not to mention not everyone wants a neutral sound signature.

They're okay. Really fun headphones, just not comfortable. I strongly recommend you get XL earpads though. These things feel like they're crushing my head. Ears and top of the head get so goddamn hot. They're just uncomfortable all around.

Do they really sell a stand together with those? Fuck, I'm going to sell everything I got and hope their price goes down a bit. One thing I can't understand is why some people say that these headphones can be run easily, whereas others claim that these hradphones need a top-notch equipment. By looking at their high sensitivity I'm inclined to believe in what the first ones say, still I'm a bit bugged that such a precious headphone can be driven so easily...
>>51543740
Well he still makes some good points like the old, diffuse-field target DT990s from the late 80s sounding better than the HD800.

>>51543788
It's a big downside to those otherwise great headphones. After wearing them for an hour, they're just too uncomfortable that I have to take them off. It feels so claustrophobic and uncomfortable. I have yet to get the XL pads but I heard those are great, not really sure how good since I like to wear headphones for like 4-6 hours at a time.

>>51544004
K612 is harder to drive than any K7 series. The being easier to drive might have to do with the 1.5 tesla magnet. I've noticed all the BEyer Tesla series are higher sensitivity than the regular DT line.
>>51543452
desu senpai please help
>>51543759
Good for you. However studies have shown that on average people tend to prefer a warm colored sound.
Just think about the X2: they're tuned to appeal the average consumer with a warm sound, hence the majority of those who try them will enjoy them; professional (and less professional) reviews praise them: they're not perfectly neutral sounding, they don't try to, and yet they're as appreciated as more expensive, more "audiophile-grade", gear, if not even more.
If Philips wanted to create a perfectly neutral sounding headphone I'm sure they'd do it, the fact is that neutral is not what people want: flat FR is just a meme, a bad one.
>>51544042
I've been reading some reviews on them and as usual Tyll's review got my interest. He says that he wouldn't recommend it for audio professionals because its treble is harsh, but would it be good for a heavy music listener who can spend this much?
>>51544097
>However studies have shown that on average people tend to prefer a warm colored sound.
Somewhat true, elevated bass response and slightly recessed treble response are desirable.
>Just think about the X2: they're tuned to appeal the average consumer with a warm sound
Except they fail spectacularly. The subbass is non-existant and the muddy midbass lacks depth as a result, so it's just boomy. There is an edginess to the treble and a midrange suckout as well. As a DT880 owner I can say that the HD650 and LCD2 would be much closer to this target.
Looking for ~100 dollar headphones and this pops up. Is this a good buy? Current listing is 128.90 and these are about to go on sale.

What about this. $49 at Amazon.
>>51545903
Amazon doesn't seem to ship this to Brazil.
Is there somewhere else i can find it for that price?

Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 vs Beyerdynamic DT250 80 ohm?
>>51542557
Im using the O2 AMP/DAC for HD800s. Is this fine or am I holding back what the headphones are capable of?
>>51547565
The O2/ODAC does not bottleneck the HD800 in any possible way, in fact the HD800 is the bottleneck in your system.
>>51547530
DT250 seems a bit better with greater comfort.
>>51547088
>But at least i only download 320kbps
>CBR
>>51547775
>HD800 is the bottleneck
How could this be? Im always seeing audiophiles with these 1k+ DACs and AMPs with their Stax and other high end consumer headphones.
Are the MDR-V6s gonna get any cheaper than what they are on Amazon right now?
>50$
I also have an itch to get the m40x even though I don't know squat about headphones really. They're 20 bucks more than the MDR-V6s.
Anyone want to give me their input?
Sennheiser HD598 Special Edition Over-Ear Headphones - Black

OPINIONS? Think this is really good but i don't usually buy headphones
>>51547939
Because electronics are relatively simple in that regard, only idiotphiles who think you need $5,000 gear to get 'the most' out of a headphone blow it out of proportion clearly due to their lack of understanding in how electronics work and interact.
>>51547973
I don't understand Sennheiser, they're undercutting the HD558 with what is literally a foam modded HD558 which has a base price of double the HD558.
>>51547939
Because the DAC and the amp has flawless accuracy beyond the threshold of human hearing. The HD800 doesn't, and that applies for any other speaker or headphone out theree.
A large part of audiophile culture is due to placebo effect and expectation bias.
Most amplifier blind tests show that there is no difference between amps when the frequancy response, noise, distortion and output impedance are within acceptable levels.
>>51547962
A few years ago it was $40, I got mine then, but $50 is the lowest it has been in recent times.
I'd recommend the M40x. It has more bass, MDR-V6 has a flatter frequency response but the M40x has removable cable and better pads.
>>51547973
HD558 and the regular HD598 sound the same, whichever one you buy is up to you.
>>51548005
>>51547992
Awesome thanks.
>>51545737
Asking again since the one recomended (MDR-V6) doesn't ship to Brazil
Got takstar pro 80 and antlion modmic v4, using on board shit sound, thinking of getting an asus xonar up. Any other suggestions?
>>51548061
Does it actually sound shit or do you just assume it sounds shit because other people told you it does?
>>51548043
How do you plan to buy headphones?
>>51547269
>Audio Technica ATHRE700
thats a headset, im looking for a microphone.
>>51542557
Got some M40xs. Im hearing sharp static/clicking when I turn the volume knob on my amp. Is it too loud or are my headphones fucked
>>51548077
It's mostly the mic that sounds bad, when it shouldn't. The windows settings only make it worse, read about antlion mics having problems with Realtek HD sound.
>>51548005
Yea I think I'm gonna go with the m40x. Just saw a comparison between it and the mdr 7506 and it clearly won.
Now I'm just wondering if I should wait til tomorrow, black friday, to buy but it's already pretty below its original price @ $77
>>51548129
Just pick up a cheap Xonar DG then and install the UNi drivers.
>>51548078
What do you mean?
International Shipping exists for a reason
>>51548143
Getting the asus xonar u7 for a pretty good price since black friday, wouldn't it be better?
>Black friday
Are there any really good deals going on, /hfg/? I just broke my shitty sony ones and I've got like $60.
>>51548255
>Black Friday
>Well, it's an american event, but maybe amazon will discount shit even in Europe
>Etymotic HF5 still at 126€
>All discounts are placed on actual shit and other worthless crap
>>51548255
M40x is only $77 right now. You could get that.
>>51548328
Shit, misread that. The MDR-V6 is only $50.
my dik be fukkin huge, get dat blat blat
>>51548328
>>51548342
I could probably jump up another 17 bucks. Is the M40x worth it?
>>51548320
same here in Oceania, they did a pretend black friday sale last weekend and it was all stock nobody wanted to buy
Will I look silly with some headphones at the libary studying on my laptop? Should I just get earphones and try to blend in as much as possible?
>>51548320
It's the same thing in America senpai. Only a few good deals actually happen on black Friday the rest are just loss leaders to get you in the door
I am considering buy a new headphone between the two choices
> M30X
> MDRV6
Which one should i buy and why? They're the same price
>>51548320
Forgot to add
>I'll buy the HF5 anyway even if they're so fucking expensive
>>51548412
Between the two, MDR-V6. The M30x is just a much shittier version of the M40x.

Fellow furfag
reposting question from last thread:
Looking for advice. I've had AKG K26P headphones, which were later renamed K414P, for a VERY long time. 10 years by now. I like that they have extremely high bass and a bit tighter than they should be (can get uncomfortable over a long time, but it also means they provide a shit ton of sound isolation, especially for such a cheap headphone).
Unfortunately, the plastic parts on them wear out over time. I had 3-4 of these and kept using them as spare parts for each other, but my last one is starting to get loose as well.
I've found that they re-released it again as the K404. However this was a long time ago, and now these aren't available anymore either.
Does anyone know if these phones are still available, perhaps under a different name, or a different head band? The K430 looks pretty similar, and I can find it on amazon for a great price, but I don't know if they sound the same. I'm really used to how bass heavy these phones are.
Does anyone know how the K430 sound?
The Koss Portapro would be a great replacement, but they are not as tight as I like them to be, and do not give that little sound isolation that makes the K414P so awesome. I have one, and they sound pretty much the same indoors, but they sound much worse outdoors.
>>51548368
The only real complaint against the M40x is that its bass is weaker than most would prefer.
http://mikeshinoda.com/2011/04/22/my-old-headphones/
damn...thats awesome
>>51546302
yes! ignore the value meme whiners, they are still $100 dollar range headphones and offer lots of utility
What's the difference between the m40x and m50x?
Are Logitech G430 shit?
They seem to be within my price range, and ship to Brazil
>>51546499
reminder that Beats headphones cost $15 dollars in materials to manufacture and you're -still- retarded if you buy them
>>51548614
No.
>>51548617
M40x are fairly neutral studio monitors.
M50x are a failed attempt at making Beats.
>>51548631
And other headphones don't? Are you retarded?
Anybody that has tried both, hd558 or ad900x?
I'm looking for a pair of open headphones caring almost solely on sound quality and no need for amp and as of right now these are the most attractive options
558 are 100 USD
ad900x are 160 USD [I'm in Canada though so actually a lot more expensive :( ]
Are there any better options than these two for ~ same price
>>51548641
But other headphones actually sound good
>>51548663
Solo2 don't sound bad at all though. But you keep parroting the 'Beats suck' thing and I'm sure some idiot will think you know anything about headphones eventually.
>>51548671
It's actually a feat how they managed to get such a linear and extended bass response with such low distortion in a dynamic driver.
I just bought an NVX Audio XPT100 for $90. Did I do good?
>>51544894
beats by dre
>>51548712
by ignoring everything else in the sound signature
>get Lumia 950XL yesterday
>shitpost about it
>today
>upload FLAC songs on it
>plug in DT770s
DAMN
I always wondered what the fuck people were talking about when they said that DT770s had "nigrabass" or something, but the DAC on this thing is so fucking detailed that it's hard to ignore.
There wasn't this huge of a difference even on my iPod shuffle or on my FiiO-E07k.
>>51542800
Superlux+some velour pads
what are the M50's of earbuds?
>>51548807
So they're basically Sennheisers with bass?
>>51548935

>>51548840
>upload FLAC songs on it
>>51548966
Not that anon, but I thought Sennheiser had good neutral headphones.
>>51548990
They disregard frequencies above 2khz
>>51548619
Someone answer me please
>>51548712
>It's actually a feat how they managed to get such a linear and extended bass response with such low distortion in a dynamic driver
It's actually not amazing at all because it is a closed headphone with carefully managed pads.
>>51548935
ATH-IM50, except that is actually a fair buy and not meme level.
SE215 for the overdone popularity.
>>51549041
they use the surround sound gimmick so yes
>>51549100
Name some comparable closed dynamics with better bass distortion numbers
