Wew lassie.
>>52125755
Did you buy a HD 800 S?
I need to see measurements first before I do the same.
Waiting for a sale. Waiting. Waiting.
>>52125777
http://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/sennheiser-hd800s-measurements-unsanctionned.907/
Not the best but good enough for me. That peak was basically what was holding me back. I was considering just getting the 800 and modding it but at this point and at the price I'm getting it I may as well. I can sell the balanced cable later if I want anyway.
Reminder that if you don't own K702/K7xx you're life has no value
Can I get a non-fangirl review of these?
I'm wondering if I can fangirl over these or not.
To give an idea of the quality of sound I'm looking for, my last pair of headphones was the Seinheiser 201, and I'd be okay with an equal sound quality from Axent Wear but not lesser.
>>52125863
cmon, thats silly and you know it. there are plenty of good competing headphones
>>52125821
The 6kHz peak is nasty, modding a vanilla unit doesn't remove it but makes it less audible, I'm not sure what to think of these measurements, it's good that the stock HD 800 and HD 600 are there for a relative comparison.
>>52125863
I gave away my Q 701. I guess that means my life no longer has value.
>>52125885
There is no way in hell the sound quality from phones or the speakers would be enough to warrant the $160 price tag.
>>52125916
in the same price range? I doubt it
>>52125925
but Q701 <<<<<<< K702/7XX
>>52125945
I know, but they're a pretty cool pair of headphones.
I'm just wanting to know if it has the raw sound quality of an acceptable pair of headphones.
>>52125945
Nobody is buying that for the sound quality.
>>52125946
That's wrong, according to AKG, Q 701 and K 702 only differ cosmetically. I didn't like K 7XX, found them to sound dull and boomy.
>>52125925
>modding a vanilla unit doesn't remove it but makes it less audible
As this does, but it seems like no third party effort has been able to do it as well as Sennheiser have here, based on this measurement at least. Plus considering the kind of 'mod' they used, you can still do your own experimentation later on with the basic rug liner etc mods.
Yes, hello.
Just ordered Xiaomi Hybrid
did i do Ok for that price range?
>>52125979
It would be acceptable most likely.
>>52126004
I suppose so, they made use of resonators on the HD 800 S, not really something a modder can do easily.
>>52126072
>acceptable most likely
On what basis?
If you're just making stuff up, don't answer questions, as you make an open question look answered.
>>52125988
> Q 701 and K 702 only differ cosmetically
They're not very different actually, but I'd still prefer the K702, because its midbass is less accentuated.
>>52125988
>Nobody is buying that for the sound quality.
Only people buying those are furry twinks who want to wear them while getting railed in the ass.
And probably Twitch streamers. And shit, you wouldn't want people thinking you might be a Twitch streamer.
>>52126072
>not really something a modder can do easily.
I think there have been some 3D printing efforts.
>>52125677
yukiko is not that hot
stop sexualizing the yukiko
>>52126122
I'm actually buying it because combined functionality of speakers and headphones is pretty neat.
Also, black and blue is a sexy sexy colour combo.
(And it gives me an excuse to wear cat ears)
>>52126085
On the basis of him using a HD 201, which is his required standard for sound quality.
>>52126121
This graph means nothing due to placement differences and manufacturer variance. Q 701 and K 702 are the same. K 7XX and K 712 has more accentuated mid-bass compared to Q 701/K 702. Your previous post doesn't even make sense as you rated the K 7XX over the Q 701.
>>52126122
I see.
>>52126124
Interesting.
>>52126209
How do you compare HD 201 with Axent Wear though?
Do you just go by looking at price? Because I don't know if HD 201 is an exceptional pair of headphones in terms of quality:price.
>>52126209
so shall we say that Q701/K702 > K7XX > K712 > K701?
>>52126241
The HD201 is pretty unexceptional.
>>52125821
eq tbhq close relatives.
>>52126264
So, how do you know Axent Wear would compare?
Sorry for being so cautious, but it's an expensive purchase.
>>52126241
HD 201 would be considered sub-standard here, I've heard a pair a few years ago and it sounded bad but it would be acceptable for one who doesn't care about sound quality.
The Axent Wear would probably be what beats is (or was) to audiophiles a few years ago, fashion headphones, sound quality isn't the main selling point, but the brand, status, etc. was.
>>52126242
K 701, K 702 and Q 701 are the same regarding sound quality.
K 7XX and K712 are the same regarding sound quality. Compared to the K 701, K 702 and Q 701, they have more bass.
Not sure where the K 702 65th Anniversary edition stands as I haven't heard it myself and I haven't seen any measurements.
>>52126349
I do care about sound quality, but not to a ludicrous extent.
Unfortunately, it seems that since audiophiles don't seem interested in Axent Wear, there isn't any way for me to tell what the sound quality is.
>>52125778
and the sale never came.
What do you use to rip CDs?
I've been using cdparanoia but I can't get it to include track data in the WAVs
>>52126439
>>52126397
It would probably be better than the HD 201. Hence why I said that earlier.
Also sound quality is an unusual topic, it can be measured and quantified but not everyone prefers the best measuring result. Think of it like food, it's entirely subjective.
>>52126439
Isn't it discontinued?
>>52125885
I can help you out. I bought a pair of these for my girlfriend for her birthday, and having AKG 553s myself I can say these things are absolute shit in comparison.
>>52125778
Those aren't K702s you big dummy
>>52126477
Yep. He should just get a HD558 for around the same price now. Or be real cheap and get a Takstar 2050 though no detachable cable with that one.
>>52126478
How so? I've never even briefly worn a pair of high-tier headphones, so I wouldn't notice any flaws if >>52126477 is right about the quality of Axent Wear.
>>52126521
Yeah, in my opinion the HD 558 is better.
I paid $45 for my SHP9500 from Newegg. The only time in recent years that I've used Newegg because I hate their shitty customer service.
>read review for headphone in price range
>no sound in one ear
>close tab
>repeat
What should my price range be for this to not happen?
>>52126483
k702 is more than twice the price...
>>52126593
Can't you just get a refund if that happens?
I'm not sure, but I don't think you pay shipping for returning something under warranty.
>>52126593
You can request a replacement or a refund.
It doesn't stop at a certain price range.
Are K702s actually really good for the money, or is it just some meme shit because they were in some Chinese cartoon.
Or is it both.
>>52126397
I've tried a pair of these out and I also used to own a pair of 201s
They sound slightly better than the 201s but not great at all, especially at the price tag,
The quality out of the speakers isn't brilliant either as it amplifies the feed going to the headphones, so make sure to turn the input as high as possible or it'll sound like staticy shite, it won't be very loud no matter what you do though.
They're also really heavy.
Get a pair of real headphones and customise the headband, it'll be cheaper and better you filthy furry bastard.
>>52126477
>Philips discontinued the headphones I finally come to the conclusion that I desire
>The headphones most people sing praises about
I am remarkably upset.
>>52126543
I'm not too big of an audiophile but what stuck out for me was the lack of bass. That and that the sound was kind of...shallow I guess is how I would put it
>>52126643
They're both high quality and a high quality meme
>>52126636
>>52126640
Don't they balance the construction and the return policy so that they only break after the warranty has expired? At least that's been my experience with cheaper phones.
>>52126643
My opinion on them are mixed. The bass leakage issue is real. It's fixed on the K 7XX and K 712.
I wouldn't recommend them since I prefer HD 600 and DT 880.
>>52126655
Meh, I didn't find them particularly impressive. I preferred the Samson SR850 which I paid $30 for.
>>52126686
How cheap are we talking about here? $5?
When should I expect the Fostex TH-X00 to drop again?
interesting.
also i think i spotted the aussie autist who threw a fit and left /hpg/ some time ago.
>>52126643
K701 are the cartoon meme ones, 702 are what autists buy because they don't want to be classified as a weeaboo. Q701 are bought by people who didn't know the K existed.
>>52126645
I love the overall high-tech look of Axent Wear though, it'd be hard to replicate that aesthetic.
>>52126695
Darn, I love good bass and deep sound.
>>52126713
>How cheap are we talking about here? $5?
As far as headphones go, $30 radioshack brand full-size headphones, also this $50 headset that still technically works but whose warranty has expired. I don't think $5 headphones have warranties, do they?
>>52126759
>Darn, I love good bass and deep sound.
But the HD 201 doesn't do that.
>>52126775
No idea. I've owned a lot of headphones, none of them really malfunctioned on me. I'd just get something cheap that's well reviewed on an online store. I paid $15 for a KSC75 so many years ago and I've been using it for years when I run, the cord is fragile yes, but I haven't yanked it or anything.
If you want something more durable and want something to last the rigors of your usage maybe consider spending a bit more and looking at its construction via reviews and gauging the quality via images/videos online.
>>52126759
well don't let me stop you from trying them out. They blew their load of indiegogo money on storefront advertisements for pretty much every brookestones or barnes and noble I've been to. you can try on a demo pair there.
>>52126349
K612 Pro > all other AKG?
>>52126929
So these were made with a much smaller budget than the campaign would indicate?
Maybe they'll release a better model later. I'd have no doubts about buying that.
>>52127004
You don't buy a headphone like that for sound quality. No one actually thought they were going to sound good for that price. They were made for purely aesthetic reasons.
>>52126947
theyre easily the best headphones in their price bracket, and theyre also very very close to the rest of akg's stuff. they might even be better, yes
>>52127055
Still doesn't change the possibility.
I'd think that they'd like to defeat the bad quality rep they're getting.

> HD600

>>52127072

Please elaborate
>>52126947
Probably.
>>52127135
Nice memes.
>>52127109
They're getting bad quality rep from people who are discussing the merits of subtly different £100+ AKG cans, normies who walk past won't care, people who got them as a Christmas gift won't care, the advertising's pretty good.
Why do you think everyone walks round with SkullCandys and Beats.
Buy the aesthetic weeb headphones or get your mum/girlfriend too and be done with it.
>>52127150
well, their fr is very similar. in fact, a lot of the akg models have very similar sound signatures, especially of all the ones wed recommend
>>52127151
>>52127072
> probably
> they might be
What's the reason of this uncertainty?
>>52126014
Who is your waifu?
>>52127072
No, they aren't. There are cheaper headphones that are more neutral and easier to power while delivering a consistent response at the ear-drum.
>>52127211
>>52127170
But bass tho o3o
>>52127214
well, show me the more neutral, cheaper headphones. 7506 perhaps?
>>52127197
Well I did hear it but older AKG designed headphones are a bit unique in that they feature very large earpads that cause bass leakage.
I listened to a fairly new unit which had stiff earpads and as I expected, I did not like what I heard, bass was weak. When the earpads break-in it should sound better.
>>52127238
Not that guy but HD 558 for starters.
>>52127238
Sony MDR-7506 and Sennheiser HD 558 are good examples. K 612 is inefficient and it may not seal fully while brand new on all listeners' heads.
>>52126735
I thought it was someone else at first until they mentioned something about meets in Boston so they were crossed off the list. (What set me off was them comparing their own 400i to their HD600)
>>52125885

>>52127370

>doot doot
>>52127285
>>52127290
what measurements are you guys using for the 558? the only ones i can find are changstar and headphone.com, and the changstar one doesnt exactly look that great. and, i dont really like headphone.com because they make pretty much all headphones look decent, where somewhere like IF, the graphs all vary a lot more widely (and thus are probably more correct). i wish if would do the 558 so i can get more results

Probably nobody to translate it. They should have put up a banner or something about the Korean site. I found out quite some time after that it's still being updated. Great resource even if they do some stupid stuff with the measurement. Almost 700 headphones and 700 in-ears measured.
>>52127680
or maybe you know, Sennheiser completely decimates akg, beyer and philips, even without their hd600, their other headphones are better than everything else

Yeah, I've never been a huge fan of music that is reliant on being social commentary, it feels like it won't stand the test of time. Also I never go to parties so having something that sits well with others is something I don't have to worry about ;_; . I would agree that Visions is a good album. Didn't like Art Angels at all and hate Grimes as a person so that isn't helping.

Not as much as they could be. Why, is there not a market for hi-fi headphones meant for wearing outside?

AD700, X2
I'm looking for something that sounds similar to the X2s, but with more mids. Or a happy medium between the AD700s and X2s.
I'm thinking K702s or K7XXs are the way to go, but I'm hearing out any ideas.

How are these in terms of durability?
Every IEM I get usually breaks in a few months
>>52129182
momentum's are literally hi-fi headphones meant for wearing outisde
they are a lot smaller than they look
A coworker just gave me a Razer Kraken Classic. Is it any good?

DAC/amp instead of just a small amp. Has more voltage/current, but physically larger.
>>52129182
>>52129132
Momentum is tiny, most common problem of the "over ear" v1 is that it is too tiny and the earpads rest on the ear. Still kinda tight in v2.
I don't think PM3 looks terrible, look at it yourself.
>>52128904

AKG K702
what does /g/ think about AKG K550? they were on sale today 50% off so I bought them. Did I do good?
>>52129208
They should be pretty durable.
Even if for example the cable breaks the cable is detatchable and you can just buy a new one
>>52129278
The Y40s have definitely been interesting me. Have you owned a pair?

Nope. I only listen to music with in-ears when im on the go.

Anyone willing to help me find an upgrade from my AD700's?
I'm looking between $100-200 but I'd rather not go over $150 unless you can justify the price.
USA located
Standard 3.5mm jack for desktop use
Full ear open headphones
Comfort is important, should be able to be worn for 2 hours or more
Neutral balance heavily preferred
Non specific music but do enjoy hearing prog rock in good quality, but used a lot for games and movies
>>52129412
so you're basically doing the same thing I'm doing
How about if I said I wanted the cheap portable equivalent of the K701, what terms would I be looking for?

Whenever the Massdrop for the Fostex TH-X00 happens again, get those.
Otherwise if you want to go high end then get the Gen 1 Beyerdynamic T-1's as there at a great price now or get the HE400i if you want to stay around the same price.
I kind of want the Fostex TH-X00 myself, also looking for a Sony MDR-XB1000 but those things are always overpriced now that they are out of stock.
Hello /hpg/!
I'm more software than peripherals but I'm trying to replace my epin gaymer headset.
I've bought a decent microphone, so no mic is preferred. Recommend me a nice pair of headphones for under $100.
I'm no audiophile, as long as they sound equal or nicer than a Steelseries Siberia v2 I'll be happy.
(If its usb dac, native linux kernel support is much preferred!)
I love you /hpg/! Have a nice day.
AKG k612, 702, 7xx: How do they differ from each other other than price?

>austrailia
sorry m8 good headphones are expensive where you live
>>52130366
the shp9500 and k612 are open headphones
>>52130366
you need an amp for the 612 so the total is quite expensive
>>52130289

>>52130315
Pro 80 with HM5 pads for maximum comfy
>>52130405
+20 dollars
>>52130226
k612 is flattest, but hardwired cable.
702 and 7XX have detachable cables. 7XX more bass leaning than 702.
>>52130455
more like +60 unless you want a hiss monster
>>52130391
Oh oops, I somehow missed the "closed" part
>>52130455
*flattest sound with a hardwired cable
>>52130488
If you were worried about hiss, you don't need an amp.
>>52130518
>If you were worried about hiss, you don't need an amp.
uh, what? hes saying a cheap amp will have hissing
>>52130537
The headphone is insensitive, countering the hiss.
>>52130279
WHAT R DOOS SPEAKERS?
plsss
>>52130559
it depends on how load the hiss is faggot
>>52130563
That would be a pretty comfy room if it was a little longer and it had a bed instead of a desk
What media players do you guys use? My laptop is a macbook so computability with that would be preferred. Right now I'm using VLC for flac but I'd like something a little better laid out.
How are the K612's for rock?
I own a couple closed back headphones like the M50x and M-100 and they're way too bassy and congested for rock. So, I'm looking for a neutral open headphone that's "spacious" sounding that doesn't make genres like rock a complete ear rape.

Just paid, waiting for my nigga Jan to wake up and send em off. I'll be sure to 'burn them in' with some screechy anime music just for you lads when they arrive.
>>52131145
Fill out the form in the OP, that'll help.
Not strictly headphone related, but is there anything that does the same things this thing can do for cheaper? I need a way to have simultaneous playback with my PC and consoles while also doing virtual surround for the consoles. Really don't want to spend 300+ on something like this though.
>>52131183
burn in takes less than 5 minutes TOPS
>>52131197
Shit. Completely overlooked that. Alright.
>>52131226
Nah gonna need 200 hours straight weebshit for these bad boys
>>52130853
The noise is floating around -90dBV or even less than that for cheap amps. This is nothing for the 612.
>>52131183
Have fun, and hope you enjoy. Post on here or elsewhere when you get it..
