>>52058144
you didnt answer me. how did you know?
HD558. To amp or not to amp? What is the minimum amp that I should get that will scale well with an upgrade to the HD6xx series in the future?
>>52058163
minimum = fiio e10k. note that this is a dac and amp, not just an amp, but that doesnt really matter.
best = O2
>>52058153
I guessed
>>52058163
Literally no reason to amp a pair of 558's
>>52058187

I am on the verge of ordering hd600,
Wat do, g?
Thinking of buying an AKG K702. $140 for a used pair seem like a good price? Also, what's the least expensive amp that can drive it properly?
>>52058361
take a moment and realizet hat they have shit driver matching, and you could get the he400s for cheaper while being better even without the driver matching problem
>>52058366
fiio e10k
>>52058379
HE400S can't touch the HD600 for fidelity.
I'm buying some HD 598's because I think they look nice, and Linus told me they're good.
>>52058405
>cant touch
lol
>>52058439
very good. im sure our resident sennheiser shills are very happy for you. actually even they probably think youre retarded, but hey, awesome
>>52058379
Ive heard that hd600 are one of the comfiest headphones on the market (while also producing excelent sound). Is this true?

lel, I'm glad I didn't fall for the he400s meme, thats fidelio x2 level of coloration right there
Gonna buy some dt250s but I'm not sure if I should go for the 80ohm or 250ohm version.
They'll be used for music production/studio work and I've got a decent amp/dac if that helps.
>>52058579
250
>tfw you fell for the fidelio x2 meme
>>52058614
why would you buy them if you dont like strong bass/treble?
>>52058614
>tfw you are too poor to fall for the fidelio x2 meme so you fell for the shp9500 meme instead
>>52058722
kyouko? you dont like your shp9500s?
>>52058472
You'd rather pay $100 for inflated bullshit than $10 for a pack of cleaning wipes?
I'd rather be unsanitary than retarted
>>52058579
80 ohm edition, 250 ohm edition has bad driver matching.
>>52058756
yeah uh... depending how long they had them for, it can take a lot more than some wipes. it's quite fucking disgusting man. id love to see you try to clean my 2 year old dt880s with some wipes
>>52058755
what?
>>52058805
so youll respond like that even if it's not you? excellent. just figured it was you. someone doesnt like your headphones, defend them!
ATH-AD900X vs HD 598?
Assuming both are equally priced.
>>52058096
I've been having problems find an audio switch. I would like to be able to switch between my headphones and speakers at the turn of a dial. However I can't really find anything that'll let me do that. If you have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Preferably <$40
>>52058881
AD900X has weak bass and flat impedance from 20Hz to 20kHz IIRC.
HD598 is more neutral but sounds a tiny bit muddy around 150-200Hz, it also is a bad load for any high impedance output due to it having a rise in the impedance around 100Hz IIRC.
>>52058881
AD900X
>>52058883
neither. akg k612
>>52058907
>>52058912
So AD900X would sound clearer for music? I'm coming from a pair of AD700X if that makes any difference.
What about comfort? The AD700X isn't bad, but the flap design is fucking annoying and makes it hard to take the headphones on/off constantly. The HD598 looks far more comfortable with the leather headband and oblong earcups.
>>52058831
>defend them!
At this time id rather not bother.
>>52058934
AD900X is clearer but less accurate if that makes sense. I prefer the HD598 as I value fidelity.
In my opinion, the AD900X and AD700X are too similar and it's not worth owning both, I'd just go for the HD598 or HD558 if you want to save money as it's the same thing.
Fuck yeah
The best!

>he fell for the akg meme

I talk about headphones but im not going to fight someone because they don't like the headphones i do. Besides I have never heard the X2's for comparison and therefore cant argue about it. Although im pretty sure the X2's are a mile ahead.
Furthermore I cant argue about them because it depends on the persons preference in tone.

>>52059308
Its great that you have no idea what autism is but keep throwing it around.
My reasons are petty but they are my own.
I enjoy the extra weight when I plug them in.
It feels more sturdy.
I never have to worry about bending it, although this one is probably the most petty as I have never bent a 1/8 jack either, but I do fear it.
>>52059318

Waiting for Computerlounge to get back to me about HD800S pricing and while I wait measurements should be popping up on SBAF. In any case I can get a good price from Jan. (~1350 Euro or so IIRC)
Kind of an oddly specific question, but is there a version of the DT880s with a detachable cable, or a similar pair of headphones with one?
>>52059516
Nothing comes to mind. Modding them is a fun little project to do if you have a soldering iron.
>>52059516

oh youre right, i was looking at the wrong chain
still, i need help in comparison to someone that wont buy a good item because "i dont ever want to own a schiit product?" please, we would have never come this far in our convo if you would have gotten help first
how about the TPA6120A2?
>>52059311
Easy, look at the 558 or 598. People will call me a shill but they're perfect if you don't like too much bass and you want a very neutral sound. Though EDM is bass-heavy music so you'd be hearing the mids come through much more than the fist-pumping bass...
Acoustic instruments sound incredible, especially when paired with vocals and soft percussion in singer-songwriter type songs. Just get whichever one you can afford.

>>52059548
>TPA6120A2
Interesting, If it uses the TI part that I first looked at. I will have to look for measurements. My reasoning behind not wanting a Shiit product dates back to when their amplifiers had no protection for the headphones and were seriously damaging headphones, I forget the name of this protection, probably output, but there should still be a video of one of their amplifiers just about making a AKG701 pop (read: explode). Yes, yes, they have supposedly rectified this but I will never trust them.
>>52059487
>cant tell the difference between it and my cellphone
Should be louder at least. Why did you think you needed a DAC/amp combo?
>>52059503
Sorrodje has them in, and he is working on how to measure headphones.
His initial plots are not too promising, just a modest reduction.
>>52059494
Go into what you would like in particular.
>>52059486
or has anyone even heard something about those?
I have a pair of Shure SE846.
Looking for the best DAP that pairs well with these in ears. I will use this primarily for my commute and when I'm at work.
Looking for clean yet lush sound. Bass and mids are pretty important to me. Listen mainly to electronic, alt pop, experimental.
Opinions on the S400?
>>52059665
Yeah I may just get the HD800 instead and try modding them to my liking. Bill's mods seem promising and being a speaker person, comfort on headphones is extremely important. The only headphones I've tried that beat my DT880 are the HD800 but the stock sound makes them unbearable and not worth the asking price.
Shit, guys. Did anybody encounter a problem of HD668b top pads being too tight? They crush into my skull and it left two curves on my head.
So the right side of my JVC headphones are going out after 4 years of use. Is there some quick guide like the Universal IEM Guide on the wiki but for full size headphones, and if not can someone recommend me a pair?
Budget is 25-40 and I'm using JVC HA-RX300 which did me well for a while now.
I'm in the US.
I rather have durable headphones over anything since I don't want to replace them again for a while.

What, the JVC headphone?
>>52059692
It went past the mods Bill made at least.
Marv says the HD800 driver doesn't have a problem, but you can still see a little peaking from his own raw driver measurement.
>>52059677
I would just advise using a phone with a nice audio section.
There's a mildly (personally) interesting player from Cowon, the Plenue D. Not shipping international yet, but soon.
>>52059836
Yes the JVC S400.
>>52059836
The Anax 3.0 was so promising until it was mentioned that it was just Marv's old measurement rig damping the peak more.
>>52059779
If you live in US then sure. Getting life time warranty is pain in the ass elsewhere (AUS). the cable is weak as fuck and break easy. get the threaded cable ones if you can.
Is there a 2.5mm-3.5 adapter that will readily fit in the HD 5*8 headphones? I don't really want to remove the lock just for the boom mic

Well, he also mentioned the 3.0 may not be properly fitted.

New series of mods picking up where 3.0 left off.
>>52059541
These actually sound really cool. I might get them over modding a DT880.
The mids/highs are still good though, right? I'm coming from AD700s, so I love my treble, but having something with some bass sounds really nice.

Anyone know if these are Takstar Pro80 clones? I mean the exterior is clearly the same except for the earpads but the specs seem different.
>>52060058
>Marv thinks Anax is insane and unhiniged
I don't blame him. Anax thinks his HD800 setup destroys any speaker setup which is laughable to say the least.

Dude nice find. I think this can be a solid go-to rec for people asking about "gaming headphones" under $100 assuming they haven't tampered with the driver.
>>52060096
Actually looking at some customer photos the ear opening in the pads seems to be quite a bit smaller than the HM5 pads so they must just be clones as well.
>>52060064
X2's are wonderful but there's a big manufacturing problem occurring right now. If you get headphones that have greyish earpads rather than pitch black then there is a chance the earpads are glued on. Might want to return them if that's the case.
>>52059991
Do you have any experience with the CT-H02 and CT-H2000? Are they fragile at all?

>>52060178
I would say Head'n'Hifi. Stefan (the guy who runs it) was actually the one who found the loophole in the license and made the first O2 with the RCA outputs and 1/4" jack. (JDSLabs reps actually mention this in a video) He also has really good prices on the limited edition models.
I can't comment on JDSLabs as I haven't had a look inside one of their models but I can safely recommend avoiding Mayflower after the shit I've been linked to coming from the Tek Syndicate guys.
The Element is kinda disappointing if you don't have a preamp since the RCA outputs are line level. Otherwise you can basically see it as a more powerful O2/ODAC combo with a nicer chassis.
>>52060224
Forgot to mention, the Massdrop O2/ODAC are probably the best value, especially since they were pressured into using legit components as per the BOM. Though it's still put together in China so if you're not up for that the other options are better.
It should be JDS for the states and Head'n'Hifi in Europe/anywhere that isn't close to the states imo.

CT-H02 is a rebrand of the Tascam TH-02. It's cheaper usually and no It's not fragile. The Tascam TH-02 has been compared to the M50X though it's obviously of cheaper build quality than the M50X. The comfort the headphone is shit though (just like the m50x). The only one I actually have experience with is the Takstar 2050. It's amazing for the price.
The CT-H2000 but it's supposedly similar sounding but tweaked more towards bassheads and dj's rather than studio headphones. Really depends what kind of sound signature you like.
>>52060224
What's wrong with the mayflower one?
>>52059815
Did you have specific impedance/loudness/noise issues?
>>52060133
CT-H02 and th-02 are the same thing. Pads are garbage, sounds pretty decent for being piced like dirt but with the treble dip.
>>52060412
I mean aside from the ugly front/backplates and knob on the pot, they're probably built just fine and to spec but the guy behind Mayflower is retarded and doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.

It wasn't even that long ago that those didn't exist. Detachable cables are apparently a luxury and they use it to market those headphones.
I'm sure they'll have detachable cables on the refresh of their 770/880/990 but who knows when that will happen.

No you need the EDT990VB for the 880/990.
>>52060670
Ok. When should I bother replacing these if they don't seem flat?
>>52060699
Dunno, when they're noticeably deteriorated I guess?
Hifiman 400i is $300 again if anyone is interested.
>>52060567
And they'll call it a revolutionary improvement worth $50 premium.
>>52060146

>>52060783
I doubt they're that stingy. Wasn't the T1 V2 basically the same price or less than what the T1 was when it first came out?
>>52060716
They're only worth $200 fwiw.
>>52059925
Can vouch for this, my cable just broke yesterday. Luckily got new headphones today.

thank you
Anyone with the KZ ATE been able to remove those gold weights?
>>52058144
I have a pair of those, Philips SHP 9500. Love them, I think I like open Headphones.
If I were to get Takstar Hi2050 or Audio Technica AD700, would I find them really similar?
Would HD600s sound any better than HD598s without an amp? Just running from my mobo/phone?
>>52061626
The HI2050 would be similar but with more bass. AD700 have no bass but aren't as treble peaky as SHP9500/HI2050.
I have not a single clue about headsets. But I've picked out this one for my listofshittobuywhenigetthecash.txt:
Sennheiser GAME ONE Gaming Headset Black?
>>52061646
Not worth it. They're overpriced, rebadged HD558s. Get actual 558s instead for much cheaper, and add your own cheap clip-on mic for $10 or so.
>>52061659
Can you show me example of that mic?
>>52061678
>>52061659
>HD558
They're the same price on the place I buy from (ebay).
>>52061678

This one's the classic recommendation, although it's outclassed these days but I wouldn't know by which models exactly.
Still, you can't go wrong when it's $7.
Is there a big difference between Takstar PRO80 and HI2050? I own PRO80, but my hands also want 2050 for some reason.
Looks like drivers are exactly the same.
>>52060142
Wondering the same
HOW ARE THESE FOR WATCHING FILMS AND TALKING ON THE PHONE
>>52058236
Id get the takstar pro80's and if you can get a pair of HM5 pads for even more comfort.

are you even trying
>>52061754
Wireless headphones are total garbage as a rule. Never spend money on that shit. You should be choosing your own amp and DAC.
>>52060858
What makes you say that? i'm very happy with them for $300.
HiFiman RE-400s or the Xiaomi Piston 3s?
I prefer a neutral balance and can only afford to really purchase one of the two.
>>52058236
ok bit of an odd response, as they seem to be pretty unknown headphones, but around a year ago I picked up ttpod t1es and I love them. they come with standard size tips and also 3 pairs of tips with a larger hole + some added support. I use the blue tips and my pair hasn't left my pocket since I got them, use em nearly every day
Damn, I wonder how long that 400i deal will last. Hopefully until at least afternoon when I can get to a bank as it's like 3:20AM here.
fuck i missed out on the greatest deal ever
what are some good high treble headphones
>>52062065
both seem to be pretty good, I'd say get the RE-400s if you don't want to wait, otherwise get the pistons
>>52062515
Dodged a bullet there. CIEM weren't supposed to buy a used one m8.
>>52062540
dt880 and hd800,
so /hpg/ i moved from my poorfag tier superlux hd681s to poorfag ath-im01 earphones
ive had the earphones for a few months and i have issues with lack of bass and microphonics
i want to buy either a non-poorfag set of earphones or headphones
ill be almost exclusively using at my pc
are my issues with the bass just inherent? or will i notice a large difference moving from 100 to 250 dollar earphones such as the etymotic er4p-t
or should i switch back to headphones? (i would be going with a higher end akg or phillips model)
Should I get the R70x's as an upgrade from my AD700's? Super light and cool looking, plus I bet they're comfy as fuck too. Got a bunch of xmas money I need to spend
Are Marshall Monitor good?
God damn all you weeb shits. Damn you to the lake of fire. I like dr dre beats.
FLAC Internet radio: https://chiru.no:8081/stream.flac
Currently playing Christmas anime music
>>52063460
>FLAC
why
>>52063475
It's a free (as in freedom!) audio codec that happens to be the best one.
>>52063500
Opus and Ogg Vorbis are free too and are actually good formats for streaming in unlike FLAC.
>>52058461
I'm getting K702 soon. I'm so curious to hear their sound in comparison to the X2.
>>52063111
well it's in your right to like them
just like it's in your right to eat shit
Doesn't mean we won't laugh at you though
>>52063507
FLAC is inherently better for streaming in 2016 because of its superior latency and quality.
>>52063533
I imagine it'll be interesting to hear headphones that aren't muddy garbage.
>>52063539
>because of its superior latency
???
>quality.
It doesn't sound any better though, it's literally wasted bandwidth.
>>52063460
>flac stream
stop triggering me.
>>52063567
there's even a javascript decoder on the main page so you don't even need a player to do it
>>52063593
>flac
>>52063550
> X2
> muddy
Is this the reason why they sound congested to me?
>>52063550
FLAC has superior quality than the codecs you've listed and isn't a waste of bandwidth compared to 720p YouTube videos played in a 420p window.
>>52063602
>congested
nice meme
>>52063602
Yes.
>>52063593
>>52063609
Why do you even post here? Go to head-fi or something. Nobody is gullible enough to believe your bullshit and your taste is painfully entry level.
>>52063617
>Go to head-fi if you use FLAC
>>52063609
>FLAC has superior quality
lol holy shit
>>52063624
If you use FLAC for anything but archival and listening to that archived music. You should be streaming in a non-retarded format. So yes, go the fuck back to Head-fi, moron.
>>52063647
Is there anything actually wrong with listening to music in FLAC?
>>52060129
I can confirm this, but its just hot glue, so its easily removed. Also there are no stock pads for sale so you would have to go after market to rig something. But Imo due to the sound, the X2s are well worth it, and overall build is the most solid on the planet.
>>52063656
If it's being streamed then yes, it's fucking stupid. If it's your own archive on your own machine then it's fine.
>>52063667
You're literally saying it has to be downconverted before it can be listened.
>>52063684
Yes, why the fuck would you stream in FLAC? Anyone with at least half a brain knows to encode to lossy for streaming.
>>52060716
>>52062353
Damn, shills
>>52063698
It seems counterproductive to sacrifice quality all for saving 60KB/s or so over a 320kbit stream.
Do you have a bandwidth cap by any chance?
>>52063718
>sacrifice quality
That's wrong though.
>>52063721
You still haven't addressed your Internet connection problems.
>>52063739
My internet is fine. Your insinuating that FLAC is audibly superior to transparent lossy encodes is fucking stupid and you should stop perpetuating the spread of your own lack of understanding and blatant misinformation.
fiio x1 good or not
replacement for sansa clip zip plus lcd bass + one plus
>>52063762
This.
Optimisation is more important.
Sure flac is superior but only for long term storage.
I tend to keep my files for like a decade or more, so mp3 deteriorates as fuck but FLAC is still fresh and crispy.
>>52063616
It's not a meme though, it's true. At least to me.
Any HD800 fags here?
Mine was pretty unlistenable out of the box, but toning down 6500 Hz, slightly reducing very high end, and upping the low end has made it sound fantastic.
>>52063834
> necessarily EQing a high-end headphone to make it sound just decent
Didn't you know the Sennheiser philosophy?
>>52063864
I agree it's pretty ridiculous that I have to EQ such an expensive pair of headphones, but after EQ, it's pretty much the best thing I've ever heard. And I've tried and owned some high end headphones, including planar magnetics.
They're releasing a new model, the HD800S, to improve the bass a little and remove the random ear-bleeding peak at 6/6.5 kHz. http://www.head-fi.org/t/785577/sennheiser-hd800s-unveiled
