First for K702 > HD 600
Considering a he-400i. Tell me the pro's and cons. Right now I have m50x and O2
How'd I do /hpg/? Am I finally one of you now? New amp and dac to finish it all off.
Hi /hpg/ I need advice. I bought a Senheiser 439 some time ago but it's not performing as well as I would want so I'm thinking about getting some new headphones.
First time poster here so I'll be using the template as to avoid any problem.

I'm thinking of making a new sub-$200 guide and need some input.
Google docs or pastebin?
What sort of information should I provide for each headphone, apart from closed/open, sound signature, price, etc.
What does speaker impedance mean ? More specifically for Xiami Mi Pistons, one has 16 ohms and the other has 32ohms while everything else is the same
Do they even matter ?

When you arent 100% sure about your choice I would say go to head fi search the peoduct name read reviews about them
Also check out massdrop(warning shipping may be high and may take a long time)
>>51648342
I've heard Mi Pistons are pretty great
While on similar topic, http://www.honorbuy.com/262-new-version-original-xiaomi-piston-earphone-headphone.html are these legit ? Heard there are fakes of these and the authorized shop doesn't have any in stock and even if they do, it ships from india
>>51648390
If that is some chinese site like aliexpress or banggood its a gamble sometimes they offer real and fake mixed
>>51648401
No idea, the name sounds like it's some chink site, but they ship from EU or even Germany and the language seems to be pretty good too, while aliexpress just reeks of chinkshit fake
>>51648385

the problem I also have is that I really have no clue about IEM while I atleast have some idea about headphones
it seems that the thread about them on head fi just says they're good for 10$, but I can't find anything about how they're comfortable or have a fit much like the non-rubbery IEMs, which I preferred in the earbuds I've used previously (though this might be because they were low quality)
I'd just like a series of good in ears around that pricepoint so I can go search around for reviews and such on them. simply searching "BEST CHEAP IN EAR MONITORS" usually comes back with awful results
>>51648390
aren't these infamous for being fakes in almost all the places you can buy them from?
The fact that you ask about a site having real or fake ones isn't really a good sign for my chances

>>51649620
There not that good that people are telling each other...
>>51649620
they are overpriced and have coloured bass response that overshadows mids and highs
its funny because they have too much bass to be studio monitors yet some people who actually enjoy niggerbass say they don't have enough
really overpriced too, the little brother m40x sounds much better, is much lighter and costs much less
>>51649727
OK, good to know. If you were to spend around $200 on headphones which ones would they be? Or would it be reasonable to just get the mx40s and a DAC?
>>51649620
They became too popular, so now people like to hate on them.

I thought the m50x was a downgrade from m50.
>>51649800
you should fill out the template because i cant tell you just like that
i personally tried both m50x and m40x and kept m40x and returned m50x, i like the m40x a lot for its flat response, i find it quite comfortable too because of how light it is
only downside for me is they dont come with the short straight cable that the m50s do, had to have a friend in the US buy it for me and ship it to me
also what do you need a DAC for?
>>51649422
You know a jack is trivial to repair right? You don't even need to solder them, some hot glut to keep the cables in place is all you need.

Where did you get it? Can it foldable?

Is it worth just getting the 770s at the price and just buying an e10k and portable amp?
I'll be using them mostly at home anyway.
>>51650856
yeah it can fold, recommend different connectors at the cups for that because mine bump each other during folding.
I just removed it from my old V6 because they were kill. (i used to workout with them and treated them like shit)
>>51650886
DT770s have a lot of bass and a peaky treble while the mids are recessed. DT250 is more neutral. You don't need an amp, assuming you get the 80 Ohm versions.
anyone actually buy comply tips off their website?
how comfortable are the most comfort plus ones
so I have a pair of akg k271 mkiis right now for studio monitoring
I like these headphones but as they are closed back they get a little hot and stuff if I wear them for a long time
this isn't a problem right now as I have monitor speakers, I use the headphones for late at night
so I'd like to buy a pair of open back headphones >$200 for monitoring in the place of a speaker/closed back headphone combo
to be clear I want the headphones to be accurate and I don't prioritise headphones which sound "good" as such
any recs?
>>51650785
The comfy smooth mids I guess.
>>51651017
And that's not what AKGs have. The colored sound signature is good for a specific genre meme is idiotic.
what does it mean if i have two different headphones, out of two different ports (though on the same onboard soundcard), that both exhibit this huge difference of power delivered at certain frequencies?
for example: at ~5.2k, almost all power randomly goes to the left speaker for both headphones, out of any port on the onboard soundcard. is this the soundcards fault? or could it be something else? i previously just thought it was the headphone but now i have two doing the exact same thing.
>>51651066
thats probably the onboard sound problem
Does the hf2 control music volume?
>>51651058
Let me guess, you tried the K701 memephones?
>>51651098
damn. i have an old sound blaster z i can throw in, im kind of interested to see if the problem goes away. if not, i guess i have to look into a dac/amp

ive tried now both the onboard and z. i only tried the z because the onboard had the problem in the first place. i have no idea what the cause is now, other than that maybe the software im using isnt playing well with windows 10... or something weird with my power supply perhaps? kind of grasping for straws now

in the beginning, i made sure realtek didnt have any eq on. the problem was present before i installed APO with peace gui, but i EQ'd it away with it, because i thought it was just the headphones. after i heard it in my other headphones, i started to think something was wrong. as someone else agreed, i was pretty sure the onboard soundcard was doing it, but after installing the z and turning off all of its eq crap, the same thing persists.
and yeah, i tried swapping channels both in windows, in z's drivers, and even physically on my head to make sure it isnt my own hearing

I forget which one is better but the 600 is £250 and the 650 is £225 at amazon.
>>51652806
what do you mean? you have to listen to a headphone with good bass. try dt770, x2 or hd650, he400i, i dont know, you pick something, i dont know what you want from me
>>51652649
>all open headphones leak
No. Open back only necessarily means that the rear chamber is open to the outside.
The side that faces the ear is usually much more restrictive with airflow out to allow for more lower bass inside the cavity.
Planar drivers, magnetic or electrostatic, often have an airtight seal to the ear. This allows for extreme bass extension, if you do not allow airflow out of the ear cavity.
HE-400S has extremely leaky stock pads and let out air, pressing it tightly to your head brings out more response below 100 Hz. A pads swap to something less permeable, vinyl or the Hifiman Focus pads will improve the bass.

Why are you trying to move the goalposts after you set them yourself?
>>51653021
ah fuck i did say that, good catch. it is my loss
>>51653005
>how could you get so mad about how headphones sound? the dt770 is known to be bassy, and measures to be bassy
bassy=/=good bass
>>51652964
If you can't hear bass on the X2 you should blame your deafness, not the headphone.

What is the origin of these elaborately arranged pixels?

always funny to see how desperate X2fags(redditors) and AKGfags(weeaboos) are to be relevant.
>>51653234
Right, everyone knows the MA900 is superior
>>51652905
What about he400i?
How reliable do you think headphone measurements are?

400i has Focus pads by default. Extremely flat and deep bass.

No, but i only have them since a half year.

you can easily tell the difference of 1db

Depends on the frequency

my babies are out for delivery, got a fresh pair of V Moda M100s for 161 after tax. I'll give them a try for a couple of days and see if I need the XL pads.
Note: this gif is a visual representation of how I Imagine my headphones coming.

Of course
>>51653829

Not if the lossy counterpart is well-encoded at a bitrate above the threshold of transparency.

I wanted to try out some nice planars, and it was between them and HE-500. I managed to get them for $525.

I need a closed back headphone.
This is tempting, considering DT250 as well.
>>51653877
same
>>51652850
HD 600 is more neutral, HD 650 is warmer.
>>51653916
you might as well go ahead and order the xl pads, they make it much more comfy

>>51652850
I'd get the HD600. It's the most neutral open-dynamic headphone in production. It's a benchmark product.
>>51654279
we already talked about it. the only one that didnt seem to get complaints was the he400i
planar magnetics are known for good bass anyway, so it's not too much of a surprise, but they check out even beyond the hearsay. its something that supposed to deliver, and does.
Anyone got the buying chart?
>>51653752
I had the EX1000 IEM, with magnesium shells. The paint chipped off - this was apparently a common issue - exposing the metal shells.

>>51654399
Planar bass is a meme.
HD650's bass is on par with LCD2's bass.
>>51654448
i'm sure it is when you listen to music that has no information below 50hz
Look at the memes.
Is there a guide based on your music preference? Pretty much all I listen to now is electronic. While I enjoy bass I'm not big on genres like dubstep.
DON'T INSTALL WIN 10 BUILD 1511
it breaks equalizer APO
>>51654636
works on my machine
>>51654648
Whoops it actually works for me too. It looks like you should unplug your dac and reinstall the APO to make it wake up again
>>51654678
you don't need to unplug your dac you just need to reconfigure APO because 1511 is a -new build-
>>51654636
Sure that isn't just PEACE?
>>51654590
>Is there a guide based on your music preference?
No, and there shouldn't ever be.
>>51654712
>>51654717
I did reconfigure APO multiple times, and to be honest maybe it was just Peace fucking up. All I know is I managed to make it work by updating and reconfiguring both
Hi /hpg/ I have to choose between these 2 options:
optiont 1:

would prefer comfy, but medium will do
>Preferred tonal balance
Propably Bassy

electronic, trap, misc.
>Past headphones
Sennheiser IEMs can't remember which model around 30$
Option 2 (I want to buy full headphones and preamp/DAC)
>Budget
250$
>location
same as above
>source
through preamp/DAC(I've been looking at FiiO E10K)
>preffered type of headphones
full sized

doesn't really matter, but would slightly prefer closed.
>comfort level

Hey /hpg/
I've been looking at some headphones but I want some more advice on which ones to get
looking at the following
>Beyerdynamics DT990 pro
>Audio Technica ATH-M50x
>Sony MDR 7506/7510
This is coming from a Sony MDR-XB700 that i've had for a few years now.
Any advice would be welcome.
>>51654820
M40x are superior to M50x and cost less
ctrl + f m40x to find my previous posts about it in the thread
depending on where you live mdr 7506 may be better value but it depends how sensitive you are to treble
dt 990 are trash and can't hold a candle to the other two
I been using the Beyerdynamic DT 880 for more than two years. Some days ago I thought about buying a new pair only for portable use. I decided on the Audio-Technica ATH-M40x. They arrived yesterday, and I've been listening to them since then and wow... I feel they sound better than the Beyers in almost every piece of music I try. This is sad for me as I spent a lot of money in the Beyers, but maybe it makes sense, as I suppose a lot of studios use headphones that are more similar to the Audio-Technica (which have a more neutral sound signature). Also, the bass in this model is pretty strong, if the M50x has more bass it must be bloated. No, I'm not trying to troll neither advertise the ATH-M40x, is just that I'm surprised, and thinking that a lot of "Hi-Fi" cans may not be worth it.
>>51654901
>such obvious trolling
back to class with you timmy
>>51654901
in my honest opinion m40x give the best sound-to-price @ $99, no coloration or bias in their sound at all
>Budget
$50($100 if i am impressed)
>Location
Bay Area
>Source
Phone, laptop, Vita, 3DS, etc.
>Preferred type of headphone
Im looking for a worthy replacement of my JVC HAS400Bs but maybe more portable so clip ons, iems, and on ears
>Open or closed
No preference
>Comfort level
Enough for all day use
>Preferred tonal balance
Neutral
>Preferred music
90's hip hop, MCRIDE, v a p o r w a v e
>Past headphones
JVC HAS400B, ATH M30, ATH AD500X, CHC LAREDO, HD518, SHP9500
going through boxes of old tech gadgets and what not, found a pair of Sennheiser HD448's. are these any good? seems like they have a cheap constructions and just from a few minutes of listening, they seem lacking in the low ends. I bought them about 5 years ago, how much did they used to go for?
>>51654901
>he fell for the beyer memephones
Honestly, I have the m50s and senns 598s are worlds better. Honestly why would you think a company with 2000 more employees couldnt produce a better product?
>>51651847
>Rashidabro
You have good taste in pussy m8
>>51654901
random question, are you using an amplifier or something with the beyers? those are the 250 ohm pros right?
you should start to eq the beyers for better fidelity.
hi-fi means neutral. obviously that word has lost its meaning in marketing so going up in price often wont yield any better results.
I have the ATH M50, Crossfade M100, AKG 550, and Hifiman HE400i.
I WANT to buy new headphones.
Which headphones will not induce buyers remorse and feel like a different enough addition to what I have?
Price range is whatever, I guess no more than 1000$, if it's worth it.
>>51656218
you have he400i... unless youre looking for a different sound signature, theres not much of a point. and even then you could just use the eq to create it
other than that, people say planars weakness is their "soundstage," but that shit is bullshit imo fampai
>>51656240
Maybe higher tier closed headphones? idk
I love the 400i. Sometimes I switch to m50 or crossfade for industrial metal or something else that bass is nice on.
How far can you go with EQ? Putting bass higher on 400i it can get really bassy obviously but doesn't feel as tight as m100, I guess simply because of their build.
Anyone know of any good deals in the US for a good headset or headphones in the $25 range? Looking for better than what $25 would normally get me, meaning.
Hey what's an inexpensive but good mic? Best one for under $50?
>>51649841
no, they are literally the same cans with better pads and a detachable cord
