I take it it is impossible to find a pair of portable on-ears for less than $50 that won't do the one-ear thing within a year.

What's better, SHP9500 or HD598?
>>
>>52075600
HD558 > HD598 because they're the exact same thing with a piece of foam on the back of the driver, foam instead of pleather on the headband, cheaper and not beige.

Between HD558 and SHP9500 I don't know though.

/r/ing purchasing advice for IEM's because I'm too much of a normie to wear my headphones outside the house.

Budget: 20-30 USD. Not looking to glut, but if there's some really good stuff a bit above that, I'll probably bite.

Source: Cellphone. Not sure if it matters, but it's a Moto G.

Comfort level: Comfort is what's kept me from trying IEM's before now, so it's a bit important.

Tonal balance: Balanced, I guess? I'm not really sure what the nuances of this are, but I mostly listen to stuff like Radiohead or chill hip-hop.

Thank you in advance.

Will an amp make even low impedance headphones like M50s and 598's louder? I just wish the sound was a little louder on the both of them.

>>52075600
HD558 probably

I never liked how the SHP9500 doubled in price after it suddenly became popular.

Velour earpads are better than that shit the SHP9500 uses anyway. Not sure how comfortable either one is but they both should be pretty comfortable.

Yes it can, you retard. HD600 are not hard to drive. They're high sensitivity AND high impedance, the easiest load an amp could ask for.
>>
>>52076455
you can get something cheaper off massdrop and the e10k also has a dac so you're paying for that too. Honestly if your phone/computers dac sounds fine than it really is fine and theres no need to pay money for a new one.

Do I need to buy anything else besides the e10k to use it with my PC? Or does it come with the cord I need?

Just asking because I know other amps like the Schiit Magni doesn't come with anything else.

>>52076691
the shit doesn't come with anything else because its made in america so they have to cut all costs its honestly not worth the price and its far better to get something made in china.

What's this "fix" you speak of? I have a pair of K7XX's and they sound better than anything else I've owned prior (have a couple of entry-mid grade cans). Quite honestly I don't hear anything that needs fixing, so now I'm curious.

So the tip the headphone jack of my DT 770's snaped off inside of my fucking thinkpad. So my headphones useless are with any other device and the tip somehow got lodged in the so deep that it wont come out.
In fact, in some twisted irony, the headphones only work with the thinkpad because it can still make contact with the tip that is still in the headphone port.
The DT 770 dont have a removable cable and a local repair shop said they would charge $60 just to LOOK at it. How hard is to buy a replacement cable and fix it myself?

I replaced the jack on mine after I dropped my thinkpad and it landed on the jack.
Didn't get stuck inside the jack though.
Use a toothpick with some super glue on the tip and put it in there maybe?
Just be careful not to make a mess inside the jack.
Soldering on a new jack is easy just make sure to do proper stress relief.

You got it backwards there newbabbie, TTGL is entry shit that people come to realize is crap when they've seen more series.

the thinkpad has claimed those headphones. It would be un-holy to deprive it of it's demands.

you must buy new headphones for other devices, sorry anon.

or crack open the thinkpad and use a pin to push the tip out. You should probably just cut the tip off the DTs tho and put a new one on yourself with some solder.

Well after the laxus arc, the reasoning why Mystogan looks like jellal is shown, be prepared for the most boring shit ever. Still the introduction to the arc is nice but the arc itself is shit. After the Edolas arc be prepared for the second best arc, the Tenrou Island Arc.

So I'm new to headphones and music in general and I'm curious as to the components of what makes a good pair of headphones good.

I know and understand what bass is, but there are some other sonic terms I've heard like the treble, mids, stuff that I don't necessarily know or have heard of. What all do I need to know?
>>
>>52078256
you need to know that its all subjective and you should try headphones before you buy and only buy the ones you like.
you should also know sennheisers are muddy and for faggots and if you like senns you need to get your ears checked

Im using a usb headphone (Pulse wired) and I cant control the volume from the volume control, only on the headphones own controller.
I change the volume but it stays the same. I can mute it and change an applications volume, but when I change the master one it stays the same.
Any tips?
>>
Can anyone tell me if the AUD ATHAD500X are any good? It's at the top of my price range but it seems like most people thought they were decent headphones
>>
>>52078173
Just don't use headphone in bed.

I understand preference, but I feel like the general sound quality of a pair of headphones can be proven, right? $10 headphones you'd find at Walmart can have trash quality, but a pair of beats will definitely have better sound quality

Bought 400i, probably fell for yet another /g/ meme but oh well.

How does the DT770 compare to the X2? I listen to a lot of electronic music– so the bass is important (specifically sub bass: like 20-40hz). Would it be worth spending an extra $130 to get the X2's? I hear the subbass isn't that great– but the rest of the features are.

Is there another pair of cans I should be looking at? Thanks :)

Fidelio X2's.
I bought mine at launch, they're quite fantastic.
Only problem I have is that the cable and 6.5mm adapter are kinda loose so I have to wiggle it to get it just right. Cable is replacable thankfully.
Some of the richest bass you can get in open cans. Soundstage is so fab you'll stop silver surfing in cs
>>
>>52078256
Just get the pair you think sounds good.
I reccomend starting out with the cans everyone uses to monitor and check the music/sound pmuch everywhere: sony mdrv6.
Things over 2x the mdrv6's price become diminishing return since placebo will do more than any actual improvement.

e10k for down to 60$ + shipping
it's even cheaper if you order for EU, because amazon.co.uk sells it for 90$ before shipping
>>
>>52079851
there are possibilities that they will short or deteriorate in quality all depends on your equipment really.

did you try buying speakers?
>>
>>52078906
Etymotic hf5, shure se215 or anything better in that price point?
>>
>>52079902
I don't really feel like I need to buy any, considering I only do this semi-occasionally. If I wanted speakers, I'd try to shell out too much for them anyway because I believe in paying more for getting a longer lifetime. Also, I hook them up to a fiio e10 so I can have an easy-access volume knob.

I think I might have some old as fuck harman kardons lying around though.

I dont have them atm, bought them over amazon and they should arrive in a few days.
I couldnt even compare them actually because this is my first time with big headphones and especially with non-shit brands.
But from what I heard they are incredibly comfy but some people have problems with the highs.
>>
what amp for 400is
>>
>>52080027
well, might be a bad choice I dont know yet but I had to make a choice. I tried asking here and people adviced me the most retarded shit. I always asked for 300-400€ price range and yet people told me to buy 50-100€ headphones I also believe most people here dont know what they are talking about (like 99%).
>>
>>52079931
get some cheap portable speakers for 20bux, it's not going to be best quality but it's going to do the same job as putting headphones on full blast.
>>
>>52080056
see the thing is, most people believe you get more gains in the 50-150€ range than you do in the 300-400€ range

You could have just skipped all the lower price shit and gotten a HD600/650/700 directly or something, but it might not have the sound profile you want (which you can learn when you upgrade through various cheaper headphones) or you might think the price isn't worth the quality.

I've never heard anything good about the t90s ITT
Best thing I've heard was "I wish they sounded as good as they looked"
>>
>>52080047
apparently you don't need one?
35 ohms should be able to be powered by most things and reviews say there's not too much lost by not using an amp

>>52080161

people really need to stop the misconception that low impedance means easy to drive.

he-6 are often considered to need a full on speaker amp to power them and they're like what, 50 ohm?

Stop giving shit advice. Ohms are rather irrelevant.

Yes, that's why I want something I can put near my mouth, is somewhat compact and in the best case detachable. The difference between boom and the other type is big enough to make the difference, trust me. I ran some tests today an no matter what I do or where I put it, the Blue Yeti picks up too much. It even picks up my cat licking itself on my bed 3 meters away.

I have the HyperX II, and while the mic is good, the sound quality isn't all that great in USB mode. If I connect it via 3.5mm jack I get weird white noise when playing a sound, especially noticable when windows asks for admin permission
