I like a wet, loud bass but cleaner than beets.
Also need good mids and pointy , sparkly highs.
Ain't there nothing fo a bass head?

The install gentoo guide on headphones is worthless now.
Wheres the buying guides?
>>51709706
literally wearing these right now tbqh
>>51710334
everyone felt ashamed of them because after new measurements for the x2s came out, shills for everything else came out of nowhere to talk shit
there was a huge shitstorm, and at the end of it everyone lost confidence in almost everything, so the guides were taken down
now no one will make a new one, though i dont know what the new one would have on it
>>51710334
Guides are on the wiki.
Does anyone even give a shit about IEMs? I doubt that.
Is this good?
Are mudheisers still tinny and veiled?
>>51710597
Needs more gain compensation, drop pre gain harder.
Adjust the goddamn Q and center frequency, that's why you have a parametric EQ.

>>51710655
good thing they're not planars and have stupid high bass distortion
hmmm JBL Everest Elite 700 is much better than the M50X. Comfortable, good build, great BT + ANC. Better than the V-Moda Crossfade Wireless. Imaging is around the level of a semi-open headphone. Too bad BT pairing is only with a single device. The ambient noise toggle is pretty neat too.
>>51710660
how do you know he doesnt have planars?
>>51710671
oh, he named the file after the phones. gg
Is the FiiO E10K any good?
I need a DAC+amp combo and I have no idea what I'm doing
>>51710671
Why would he even have to boost those frequencies if he had good planars?
I have a budget of $200.
Should I build one or get a name brand? I have always been using ear buds so I am assuming most headphones will be a huge jump in quality. I am just worried about ear comfort using headphones for hours. My ancient over the ear ones nearly injured my ears by clamping down on them. Also nearly made me sick because the earpads got sweaty and filled with bacteria. Do I need to worry about that with other headphones?
>>51710739
In-ears are better than headphones for sound quality.
>>51710597
holly fuck the mudddddddd
>>51710529
Same.
Got bitches that want me to put down the drugs but I'd rather be loaded than falling in love.
>>51710768
Do they have bass at all though?
Just ordered this on amazon. Can't wait
>>51710730
some people dont like planars bass. which probably boils down to the fact that its all the same volume. sounds silly but of all the frequencies, bass makes the most sense with it
good headphones for people who don't like music? I like noise/drone but mostly listen to wilderness sounds.
>>51710800
Yes, moreso than headphones due to their seal and distance from your ears.
>>51710807
youd probably want hd600 then
>>51710818
Is that bad for hearing or is that media fear nonsense?
Also good ear buds seems expensive
>>51709706
So. I want a neutral sound and the DT250 and DT770 is where my choice lies. I hear the DT250 has a more neutral sound. It also has replaceable cables. Whereas the DT770 seems more comfortable and sturdier.
Any help making this choice would be useful.
>>51710841
if those are your only choices then yeah, the dt250 is obvious. the dt770 isnt neutral at all.
but you should really just fill out the form and let us give you some recs too
>>51710841
You should get some MDR-7506
>>51710835
Only bad for hearing of you turn it up too loud.
Headphones have the same potential for damage as earbuds and IEMs.
>>51710835
>bad for hearing or is that media fear nonsense
Nothing inherently bad. What does the damage to the ear is high sound pressure, which is not different from headphone or speaker.
There are lots of biases with speaker/headphone listening, and people tend to play headphones louder than what they would normally be comfortable with speaker listening. That they play it louder does damage to the ear, but nothing else.
>>51710800
>bass at all
The most common problem with in-ears is that they have too much bass.
>>51710818
Not so much distance but coupling volume.

KZ-Ed9 is easily the best value for ear buds I've ever seen.
It's got chink runes all over the packaging, but the sound quality is amazing if you can figure out what filter (2 sets included, one for balanced and one for bass) to use.
For once /g/ gave me a good recommendation.
>>51712030
Does it have good neutrals and highs?
>>51712215
Yes as far as I can tell.
It's $15, cheaper than the skullcandy meme.
>>51709706
just wanted to say these are the best
I've had DT770 80 ohms for 2 years now. Been using them with a laptop and I can tell it's a bit thin especially since my system volume needs to be >50% to hear everything. What DAC/amp should I buy?
>>51712272
portability ? plans to upgrade in future?
>>51712272
o2+odac
>>51712257
Nice. So I guess you don't need $150 sets to get good sound.
>>51712298
Portability not necessary. No plans to upgrade unless these die. Just want something that will actually drive my headphones to their potential.
>>51712416
already told you
o2+odac
>>51709706
Still thinking of getting adt770 for mobile use, mainly for their isolation, but also to have something different from my k701. Not sure about which ohm rating to get though. Are the 32 ohm shit compared to the 250 ohm?
>>51711638
They're 30 bucks on BH though
damn this shit is scary slow tonight
everyone partying on saturday?
Friendly reminder that Takstar 2050 sound like Ath M50, same soundstage if you go for closed ones, open is better. Same nigger bass on closed model. And they cost fucking 50$ dingo dollars and made of aluminium and have comfy velour pads. This is an audiophiles nightmare because no dumb fuck you don't need an amp or more expensive headphones unless you make music srsly.
>dat placebo
Yes I will admit, there are headphones that have a wider sound, but they cost over three times as much for a 5% increase in sound.
>>51713602
Split in 2 for some reason >>51710930
>>51712927
32 ohm bass is too boomy compared to other ohm rating. Just get 80 ohm, you can get some "portability" too with that.
Hey guys I fucked up the cable to my akg k612 pro. How do I go about replacing it ?

The heaven one is pretty good. Some may found its too bright. Adagio one meh, I'd say shit when its priced at that level.
>>51713815
How about you help him? There's a jack problem and cable problem when someone fucked up the cable. Also, why not claim the warranty anyway.
>>51713835
I don't know anything about replacing cables
>>51713835

>>51713872
Well, it'll certainly improve from ipod buds. I dunno if you'll like the improvement or not.
So, did you own all the ID winner in head-fi? Damn man, you must be autistic to have 3 ID in placebos forum.

>that feel when K7xx master race
Headphone pleb question: Does good pair of headphones improve the sound quality of everything or do you need higher quality source to really make use of it? Like does videogames sound better too?
>>51714050
You need both. It'll be useless if you've good headphone when listening to 128kbps mp3.
>>51714050
a shitty sounding file would still sound better. but it really depends on what you want. if you have a v shaped headphone and a shitty file, and upgrade to a "natural" headphone, will the shitty file sound natural? yes it will, but it wont sound actually good. it will probably sound worse, but at the very least, the signature will have moved to whatever the headphone is trying to do.
the full effect only comes to play when you have good files too of course
>>51714177
So will I actually hear some difference now with higher kps MP3s and CDs now?
>>51714242
Anything below V2 yeah.
>>51714242
of course, as i said, you will hear a difference anyway. but the best sound requires both good headphones and a good source file
So I am debating getting the Superlux HD669 since I've been told it's the best I can get for under $50. Wish detachable cables was a more common feature among headphones. I suppose if things go tits up it'd be an easy enough mod.
Just pulled the trigger on Sony V55, did I do good?

How can you measure "soundstage" scientifically?
Is it even real?
>>51710972
I like them. The clamp might be a problem for some but they sound great.
>>51713012
It's not one single bit useful in games.
>>51714050
Yes. Good gear makes everything sound better and the headphones themselves are almost always the only limiting factor in fidelity. Rest of the gear and your source are generally transparent.
>>51714242
Define a high kbps mp3. 192-250kbps(V2-V0)? Really likely you won't. This is not a bottleneck.

I have been using HD 595s for about 8 years now and they're on the brink of dying, I nearly got the HD 598 Special Editions at £75 in the Black Friday sale but thought 'OHOHO that price will be just the normal price, I'll get them another time' - now they're up to £200 :-(
>>51715397
HD 558. Almost the exact same headphone with a cheaper price tag.
>>51715586
Upgrade to HD 600 senpai.
>>51714822
Buy Takstar 2050s, sounds exatly like your M50 but costs 50$. I have both to compare. Just save money anon, its mostly placebo
why are there two hpgs.
m50x vs m30x + sr80e?
>>51715397
Honestly no since 518s are the same. And takstar for 50€ sound almost as good.
Smartphones these days are STRONG.
Got my AKG K612, has a rated impedance of 120 ohms. My Note 4 handles it easily.
Amps are overrated.
>>51715741
god you are a retard
>>51715769
Thanks, you too.
>>51715659
HD 518 is not the same.
>>51715781
No, he's actually right. Your comment is ignorant.
Rated impedance has nothing to do with how hard they are to drive.
>>51715877
Oh that's what he meant. Yeah sorry you're right.
The K612 do have a reputation of needing to be powered though. Having read through a bunch of forums before buying them, everyone keeps saying to buy an amp.
>>51715940
Because they are probably under the same delusion that anything rated above 60ohms requires a dedicated amplifier.
>>51715397
On italian Amazon the HD598 are sold for 142€, while the Philips SPH9500 are sold for 141€. Get the Philips.
>>51715940
That is true. Their voltage sensitivity is low and they draw quite a lot of power. One of the hardest dynamic headphones on the market to drive. I'd really get that amplifier for them even if you get the wanted volume with your phone.
>>51715994
I do have a FiiO Andes DAC/amp, but I'd rather not carry that around with me. Even on that thing I hardly use the amplification. I know what underpowered headphones sound like but luckily this isn't it.
>>51715964
Exactly. Every pair of headphones I own have an impedance over 60 ohms and I never found an amp too necessary.

AD700, was my first real open back since they everyone hyped them and I liked the larger soundstage I got. The sound always seemed lacking though, but were decent enough for me in the price range so I didn't care.
ATH-910 Pro, one of old models from however many years ago, a decade or two maybe. I think these were supposed to be studio headphones? The sound was muddy to say the least.
HD429 - The sound I didn't like, build quality was no where near good.
I was considering the HD598 but they're quite overpriced and build quality with Sennheisers always concerns me. They'll be convenient to get though since I'm grabbing a new monitor from the same place in due time (mwave).
I'd also like a pair of IEMs and closed headphones for outdoors/travel. I had the Sony XBA-1 and they were great for the price and decent enough for whenever I listened to something with vocals. I wouldn't spend more than 50AUD on them though.
Headphones, maximum 150 AUD and slightly over if pushing it.
Anyone of you EQ'd your HD650? This is what I get using the method in the wiki.
>>51716463
Doesn't look right. Do you actually like it?
How loud are are you doing this?
>>51716704
Normal levels. What isn't right? I most probably need help with this
Any eq's i should try on my dt990's?
>>51716730
I mean if you like it, that's fine, you can just stop right there.
But a problem is that the ear definitely does not have a flat response.
Playing the sines back very loud helps flatten the ear a bit, or seeing how the ear responds to tones on the equal loudness contour.
>>51716274
558's are the same as 598 after the foam mod. Google it senpai

>>51716777
Why not just take the Headroom curve and flip it upside down? You can make more specific adjustments yourself, you would have to anyway.
Try not to pay attention to stuff above 10 kHz.
>>51717898
As long as you buy an AKG you're fine. AKG is the best headphone brand.
>>51715619
I was thinking of doing so - though currently the 650s are only £5 more. I'm thinking of maybe getting the 650s if I do go for the upgrade...

You're reversing the natural response of the ear.

> their
I think you mistyped "I am"
>>51718311
Human ears' natural response emphasizes mids, which is why V-shaped headphones are generally preferable over neutral ones.
>>51721185
I hope you equalize your speakers to a V-shaped response too you fucking retard
>>51721701
No, I already own a X2, which sounds great on every music I listen to without wasting pointless hours on EQ, because it greatly compensates my ear's natural response. If you enjoy spending entire years on your enldess quest for the perfect fidelity, then I can only wish you to have fun.

Why don't you listen to them?
In any case they take about 30 hours or so for burn in, and if you don't have an amp there's a slight chance they may sound a tad muddy, depending on what you're used to listen to music with.

I've owned some cheap cans before due to my frugalness. I currently sport the Xiaomi Pistons 3 (6 bucks on sale) and the HD681EVO (35 bux). I'm a pretty wary jew when it comes down to tech, so I always purchase cheap, but now I'm looking for something the next step up.

I'm willing to spend up to 100 on a can for post-rock/ambient/occassional trip-hop with very balanced sound. Budget is give or take 15 bucks.

I love the detail on the HD681, however, the cans are a little open and somewhat flimsy, so now I want to experience a more closed one.

Only Beyerdynamic DT150 fits that bill.
DT770, DT880 and DT990 are bright pieces of colored dogshit.
>>51723979
Help me whith my choice i'm want deep bass tomorrow evening. ..DT770 or DT990 pro ?
>>51724032
How is this supposed to indicate the K702 are a colored mess compared to the HD598? The 598 are equally as dipped/veiled in frequencies where the AKG are enhanced/exaggerated. If anything they're perfectly equal in neutrality.
>>51723965
>>51724032
I have both, the k702 is far better, even the k553 pro i have is far better sounding than the hd 598.
>>51723949
Well here it is. The sound is amazing but the durability issue wasn't a meme after all.
>>51724054
Do you have some reviews when they comparé it to the 990 pro/770 ? Never heard of it.
The design is....tough.
What are the most neutral headphones and why are they the MDR7506s?
>>51724122
No, but it's the only full-sized Beyerdynamic headphone with deep bass and a warm sound.
>>51724107
Indeed i guess akg has the best duribility of the bunch.
>snapheisers
>snapdynamic
>>51724107
That's the weak part on all Beyers using that type of a folding headband mechanism.
So I just bought HD 598's to replace my shitty Logitech g930s. Should I even bother with trying to find a way to get virtual surround sound on them? Or should I just use stereo. I have a feeling games will sound a lot better now but I really did like having virtual surround.
>>51724107
6 years still going strong I dunno what you're doing with yours
>>51724078
There are other graphs which show the rollercoaster upper midrange to treble response on the K702. I wasn't that poster who posted the graph.
>>51724102
No it isn't the HD598 is a higher fidelity headphone and that makes it better, you are free to prefer the colored sound of the K702 if you wish.
>>51724127
Etymotic ER-4B is the most neutral, fuck off kid.
good headphone + mic setup for counter strike?
under 200$?
Is Beyarmic colered mean not neutral ? Because don't like too neutral.
I bought some Shure years ago at an indecent price. So fucking neutral the basses were missing. I have been traumatized by this experience of "truly neutral "
>>51724193
>high fidelity
back to reddit with you mudded shit
>>51724197
>for counter strike?
Just buy whatever headset looks nice.
>>51724181
Select 'headphone' as the option on whatever game you're playing on your PC. Virtual surround is just fake effects.
>>51724204
Beyerdynamic tries to be neutral but it isn't.
>>51724197
HD 558 and a mic of your choice. Maybe ModMic 4.0 if you care to spend that much on it.
>>51724204
Beyerdynamic is not a singular thing. They have at least one really neutral pair of headphones and multiple which get kinda close.
>I bought some Shure
Which Shure?
>>51724190
They have fallen from my desk a lot. I think that broke them.
>>51724229
decent for music too?
>>51724197
apple earbuds and mic go kill yourself
>>51724259
Yes. For that budget probably the best you can get.
>sennheiser
lel
>>51724127
That would be HD600 for full-sized headphones.
MDR-7506's bass is not very neutral.
>>51724284
shit bro the hd 558 and the antlion mod mic 4.0 is only 135$ in my cart on amazon man
i was expecting this to cost a lot more
>>51724296
>nobass veiled shit
>neutral
I only own portable phones, and I'm looking to buy a nice full size set for the house.
I own a pair of Koss Porta Pros, Sennheiser PX 100's, and Audio Technica ATH-EM7, and love the sound of each one.
Any reccs on a full size that sounds similar yet better? I was thinking of some HD 600's, but I don't know what else is out there.
>>51724252
You can try send them in with warranty, I hear they replace your pads for you free of charge as well. Otherwise that plastic piece is supposed to cost like $14 and you can replace it yourself without much effort.
>>51724296
>MDR-7506's bass is not very neutral.
kek
>>51724221
>device's sole purpose - to produce sound
>buy whatever headset looks nice
This is why Beats exist, fuck
>>51724336
K702 plus a good amp if you dont have one already.
>>51724332
It's still the most accurate full-sized headphone in production.
>>51724346
MDR-7506's bass is quite inaccurate. It has a large dip at 200Hz.
>>51724336
Preferred sound sig? Price range?
>>51724355
You don't need anything but a headphone that produces sound for counter-strike, thus get anything that looks nice.
People spouting positional accuracy and soundstaging memes are
- shit at the game
- retarded
- are trying to justify shit sound quality as a tradeoff for said memes
>>51724229
Shure because it was all the hype at the time on european forum. versus the Bose headphones.
I still prefered the Bose compared to Shure to this day , and they were like the beats by dre at the time.
So for you no question, the DT150 will have more bass and dynamic than the D990/770
I'm listening a lot of stuff but very few jazz/classical, so i'm little worried. Shoul I be ?
I prefer the design of the two others still
>>51724336
HD600, it does not need an amp.
>>51724378
it's the most accurate dynamic, it's not even the most accurate open headphone
where did the HD598 no bass meme come from?
>>51724393
DT770 is V-shaped with strong sub-bass and strong treble.
DT990 is V-shaped with strong upper-bass and strong treble.
DT150 is warm with strong sub-bass and strong upper-bass, but the treble isn't strong, it's a bit recessed.
The DT150 fits the sound signature that you want, but it isn't as comfortable as the other two.
>>51724412
There is nothing more neutral in production.
>>51724369
AKG's, right? How's the sound signature on their stuff? I own a Cmoy amp, but was looking to upgrade to something newer.
>>51724379
Neutral if not slightly warm-leaning, not too bass heavy
>>51724398
That's what I'm thinking so far.
>>51724450
repeating it doesnt make it true
>>51724471
Feel free to prove me wrong.
currently got Audio-Technica ATH-M50X but they're not that comfy (wearing them minimum of 5 hours a day) is there anything better but more comfy?
>>51724495
http://www.innerfidelity.com/headphone-data-sheet-downloads
have a look at some other measurements
plenty of them prove you wrong
>>51724503
DT770 are better and more comfy.
>>51724470
AKG is more or less neutral and kind of cold but that could be seen as a pro by some people. Overall the sound is very analytical.
>>51724379
Sorry, price range is about $300-$400
>>51724450
I don't what too choose anymore whitout listening...
I would say the 990 pro seems maybe better for me but at the same time of the 150 can deliver better low/medium bass stronger ...hard choice
>>51724513
InnerFidelity doesn't use diffuse field equalization.
HD600 is still the most accurate full-sized headphone that money can buy.
>>51724524
>DT770
what OHM?
I don't have an audiophille setup will just be using them on a standard desktop PC and when I'm working out
>>51724526
HD 600 is the one that fits your needs.
>Within price range
>Neutral
>>51724550
learn to read raw measurements, shill
>>51724559
Go with 80 Ohm.
>>51724526
HD 600
>>51724412
What is the most accurate open headphone then?
>>51724596
ether
>>51711597
Assuming you mean MDR-V6 or MDR-7506, I bought the Beyerdynamic EDT250V pads for my V6s. They've held up for at least 5 years now and are still comfortable, better than the original V6 pads. No sign of tearing or deformation either.
>>51724624
nah
>>51724641
>changstar
lol
>>51724624
No. The only full-sized headphone in production that I'd consider more neutral or equally as neutral to the diffuse field target is Shure SRH-1840.
>>51724641
>using marv's shitty compensation
>complaining about tyll's compensation not being df
ok
>>51724525
I see. I do want to try a cheaper pair of theirs to experience their house sound. Is there a "go-to" entry level set of theirs? I figure some HD 600's and a $100 set of AKG's would be a great starting point.
>>51724565
>>51724596
Got it, thanks /g/ents.
>>51724680
well god job not knowing how to read measurements
>>51724624
Nah. It's too dark as obviously seen from the measurements.
