hello ted cruz
Alright, my Yuin PK2 earphones died on me for the second time and I want something different since the build quality is obviously very poor.
I'm interested in canalphones but the problem is I can't really have anything that cancels out noise too much. I work as an intern MD at a hospital, and I have a really comfy position where I can basically listen to music most of the time. However, I need to be able to leap into action if one of the nurses hits an alarm because a patient is like choking on their dinner and turning blue. The Yuin PK2 were pretty much the perfect balance since they cancelled out a decent amount of background sound, but still made the hospital alarm perfectly audible.
So what the fuck do I buy?
>>52875879
Do you have a suggestion?
>>52877576
The problem is that the PK2 are earbuds, so almost any IEM will have more isolation. There aren't any good earbuds though.
Some IEMs with relatively low isolation to check out:
Soundmagic PL50
Brainwavz M3 or M5
JVC HA-FXT90
>>52877666
Not him but for a good open headphone at that price, you may need an amp which will require additional money.
For closed, the DT770 80 ohm is a great option. It's overpriced on Amazon right now so get it on eBay or something.
Does anyone have any recommendations for an inexpensive set of earbuds?
I used to use some Apple earpods I got as a gift, but recently lost them. So I'm in the market for something new. I'm not an audiophile, and the earpods were high quality audio in my book.
So any advice?
Just bought a pair of these beauties. Pain in the ass that I'll have to wait till May 1, but whatever, it's worth it. Wasn't impressed with the DT880 600Ohm I'm using now. Think these will be a lot better. Perhaps less ear rape treble, more present bass, similar mids. Should be a good deal less leakage as well.
>>52878187
>>52878244
Amps are a meme.
>>52878244
can't you buy one and send it back later in case you dislike it?
>>52878395
I wish. But i read certain headphone benefit from proper amp.
>>52878469
No shop provide the service in my country. Either buy or sell it later if you dont like.
But i'm leaning toward O2 amp. But i worried it will change the sound dramatically.
>>52878244
As you already get sufficient volume, amplifier likely won't change a thing other than allowing you to get more volume. It won't hurt though. O2 is good if you want a peace of mind.
>>52876730
How to into headphones? I listen to music constantly and known for a fact my current cheapo $60 headphones are failing me in sound quality with all the nigger base, how do I even start to understand what to buy that's better? Don't know what the graphs mean with Fidelity and everything, but I know I like a crisp clear trebble
>>52878187
They leak similarly to open headphones. Nobody really considers them 'true' closed headphones because of it.
>>52878854
So, what if i buy a dac instead of amp? My audio source is Realtek 1150. Any noticeable improvement?
>>52877279

>>52879021
No. Also you need an amp if you have a discrete DAC.
>>52879027
Don't know that. Guess i'll proceed with O2 and treat it as investment for other headphone purchase. Thanks.
>>52878950
Yeah I know they're "semi-open", but still, I'm sure my DT880s are worse. If I play music loud enough to sound really good I can leave them on my desk and listen to them like speakers ffs.

Anyone know where I can get hd600's on the cheap in bongland? Currently ~£220 on amazon which is a little more than I'd like to pay.
why headphone amp? my computer output goes a million times louder than i need on its own.
i also used the amp on a firewire audio interface, and couldn't hear any quality difference.

Too bad your budget stops at 200 euros. Otherwise you could get a nice Fidelio X2 from amazon for 30 bucks more. K702 are your best alternative I think.
>>52882563
Did they fix the problems with the bad X2 batch?
>>52882574
I think I got mine before the bad batch shit. Either way if you order through amazon you can return them anytime and get the K702 instead.
>>52882563
>>52882431
How "deep" are the k702? The problem with most models I tested today was the plastic inside the earcups pressing on my ears.
>>52882705
I would say that the earpads are thich enough to avoid contact with the drivers. The K702 has angled earpads, which provide better seal and more spatious sound. I had two X2 in the past, both were defective, I returned them to Amazon, I got the refund and I bought a K702 and a Fiio E10K for less. I couldn't be happier.

Yet another K702 + E10K success story!

880 or 990?
>>52883003
880
>>52883019
why
Are planars a pitstop before electrostats?
>>52883003
>>52883035
I tested them both today.
The sound on these is great. Imo the 990 focuses more on the treble and the 880 is more neutral. Also, the 880 has better bass. People sometimes describe the 990 as "harsher" but I quite liked it, also considering the price.
>>52883061
Pretty much
>>52883393
is the "speed" of electrostats really that much of an improvement over planars?
>>52876730
hello rato :^)
>>52883141
I used to have the 990. It was a fun headphone for movies, games some electronic music in particular.
>>52883003
880, since it's closer to neutral than 990, unless you want more prominent v-shape.

>speed" of electrostats
Audiophiles don't understand concepts such as speed and velocity. Do you?
>>52883829
>Audiophiles don't understand concepts such as speed and velocity. Do you?
speed meaning how "fast" the sound producing elements reset to 0. They say that dynamic is slowest, planars faster, statics are the fastest

>>52884230
Not sure i get your point.
>>52883845
It sounds like you skipped out on mathematics or elementary physics; either course would define the concept of speed.
A definition from a dictionary:
>The rate or a measure of the rate of motion, especially:
>a. Distance traveled divided by the time of travel.
>b. The limit of this quotient as the time of travel becomes vanishingly small; the first derivative of distance with respect to time.
>c. The magnitude of a velocity.
When do I need an amp?
I'm having trouble finding what my motherboard can do. One website suggestions up to 600O, but doesn't less Ohm mean less resistance? Isn't that what makes better sound?
Is there a beginner guide somewhere? A video beginner guide. Not a long drawn out wiki made by enthusiasts.
>>52884554
Amplifier/DAC checklist:
-Is it too quiet?
-Is the output impedance too high (fixable by equalization)?
-Is there noise/EMI or hiss to it?
-Does it sound distorted as you start to crank up the volume?
If the answer is no, don't get one.

The only thing that would happen is the headphone would be too quiet. Most headphones aren't even that insensitive, unless you are talking about those horrible European limited devices or something.
>60ohm or 800ohm or anything
This isn't that important, and it doesn't say much anything without headphone sensitivity.
>>52884658
>>52884554
ohms are related to the difficulty to drive but it's not as simple as "you can drive up to X ohms"
also has to do with sensitivity
post headphones & we'll probably be able to tell you if it can drive it
>>52884714

How much do I need to spend to get in ear monitors or head phones that can isolate noise to save my hearing?
>>52884783
>>52884779
Not the Anon you are talking too, but is there any calculation i can make to find what is the exact amount of amplification a headphone needs, based on impedance and sensitivity? say, if i hypothetically wanted to build an amp for an specific headphone.
>>52884305
Let's hear how you think your analogy relates to the sound.
>>52884879
no because it also matters on how loud you want them
maybe try http://www.audiobot9000.com/match/beyerdynamic/dtx-350-p/with/fiio/e10k ?
hello rato
Shit OP image BTW.
>>52884923
So it's more of a matter of an amp delivering enough current to fit headphone X between a minimum and a maximum of current, so you can properly drive it without ruining it?
What specs do i need to look for in order to know if an amp will fit a particular headphone between these points?
wat, this can't be right
>>52884979
no it's more like if you don't deliver enough power, the headphones will be too quiet
I don't think I've ever heard about an amp that delivered so much (which you couldn't control) that it broke headphones or because unuseable with headphones
>>52885021
why not, expensive amps are a meme, e10k can drive basically anything

unlike what headfi and reddit tried to make you believe, you don't need to spend more than 80$ to drive most headphones nowadays.
>>52885037
>>52885084
I mean that's _way_ too low SPL for Ether from E10K and on the fence whether I'd consider E10K being able to drive it(assuming 106dB is correct). I'd want more headroom than 106dB.
>>52885136
>I'd want more headroom than 106dB.
What's wrong with M50x's pads? Overheating is the only one problem I see.
>>52885181
You don't? After equalizing the headphones and listening to high dynamic range recordings, my peaks would be well under 100dB, probably close to 90dB.

xiaomi piston iii or soundmagic e10
So let me get this right.
There is better bass in closed headphones, but the positional audio is worse for games and it doesn't sound as "natural" or like you're actually there?
>>52885466
"neutral" would be better term, but thats basically correct
>>52885466
>There is better bass in closed headphones
Not quite.
>>52885136
I've said it before here, Audiobot isn't that good in that it tends to underestimate maximum SPL, sometimes very severely.
Audiophiles also tend to severely overestimate how much power they actually need and use.
>>52885430
So this picture I took? They aren't comfy, I'm sorry. They do sound amazing though. Etymotic ER-4PT with the included ER-4S -adapter.

I love them but a word of warning about the comfort. You need to insert them really deep in the ear canal which is quite sensitive area for many people. Once in place they isolate like nothing else and the response after the ER-4S adapter is amazing, really close to the DF target and it sounds incredibly clear. Honestly the best sound from earphones/headphones I've heard.
>>52885587

>I'd want more headroom than 106dB.
No you don't, baka. 70-80 dB is safe SPL for long listening, a higher level is going to damage your ears.
>>52884879
>is there any calculation i can make to find what is the exact amount of amplification a headphone needs, based on impedance and sensitivity?
Headphones with identical voltage sensitivity are equally loud with identical voltage. There is no way to control power into a load besides adjusting voltage or current, but amplifiers are normally voltage sources. Our equation therefore:
>Target SPL = Sensitivity of headphone at certain voltage + 20 log (needed voltage / reference voltage)
The calculation is done entirely with Root Mean Square (RMS) voltage.
An example:
>105 dB = 82 dB (at 0.1 Vrms) + 20 log (needed voltage/ 0.1 Volts)
>23 = 20 log (V1 / 0.1 V)
>1.15 = log (V1 / 0.1)
>14.1 ~ V1/ 0.1
>1.41 ~ Voltage

>>52885407
Nice dude. I still keep my K702 laying on the desk, because I'm afraid that a classic headphone stand like the one you got can cause stress to the headband after some time. As for the cable, I've been thinking about buying this: http://www.amazon.it/dp/B00WES6JJ2/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2L4UVPNFS1L3A&coliid=I2GRQC1ACUFSRP, because the stock cable is too long for me.
>>52886173
set windows volume to as loud as you can go without any static or distortion, then only use the knob on the e10k to change volume
>>52885936
Yes I do. You could safely listen through the entire day at 70dB and for at least 8 hours straight at 80dB. However I never do listen to that long in a one session and I like my music, some of it at least, to be loud. The reasons why I want the amplifier to have more headroom than what 106dB gives me are:
-I will equalize and lose a considerable amount of SPL here
-I sometimes do listen really high dynamic range music and I prefer the peaks to be loud while having the general range to be at a comfortable listening level which is usually on the loud side
-I don't want to turn the volume knob all the way up to avoid channel imbalance and risk potential distortion caused by the amplifier. I would likely have to turn it all the way up on some content if my setup only allowed 106dB without EQ.
Sudden bursts of high SPL like 106dB aren't any more harmful than long sessions of listening at a lower volume. With low dynamic range music the 106dB would most likely do well for me(this depending on the headphone equalization though) but for some content(movies for example) the headroom is really nice to have. Besides the only downside for headroom I can think of is me accidentally turning the volume too high.
>>52886173
-Put the volume at 100 in Windows or at maximum on whatever OS you are on
-Adjust the volume with the pot
-Maybe install Equalizer APO if you are into that

Yeah, unfortunately I can't find the 1,20m cable of that kind anywhere in my country. The shortest one is 1,5m, which is half as long as the stock cable.
Tonight's the night. I've scoured HPG for weeks now (you might recognize me as the autistic drummer asking for iems and headphones every fucking day) and I've decided my ears have had enough, a click track must be used.
Audio Technica ATM-IM70s cost $100 usd, have the bass end I need as well as the treble, seems like a clean ass deal, but Audio-Technica ATH-M50 studio monitors are the same price used. So if I can get studio monitors for 100 USD, there has to be superior IEMS with the V frequency as well as extreme isolation (not worried about entering the silent world), and great sound quality. I have $150 allocated for these and I'd like them to last until I end up buying customs and a whole plethora of equipment for when the sound guy is the bartender's girlfriend's dog.
bought sony mdr-v6. how fucked am i?

if you have your amp on your desk its going to be just as annoying as the 3m one
>>52884910
it should be clear, fag. The dynamic drivers cant reset themselves in time to keep up with the music. Planars can to some degree, but moving a magnet is still 2 slow. Electrostatics only need to change electricity, so they're by far the fastest to reset back to 0. They say electrostats are like entering a new dimension of sound...
>>52886372
as long as you filled out the form and made sure its what you want, then you didnt fuck up at all
>>52886349
you could bypass your problem by wrapping up your 3m cable neatly with zipties or a technique that wont unravel
Here's how to avoid having cables under your chair and being tangled and on you desk and so on
Buy this hook (or whatever it should be called) and put on the side of your desk

It's not 106, it's around 108 dB.
>I don't want to turn the volume knob all the way up to avoid channel imbalance
Do you think they lose matching closer to zero attenuation?
>I sometimes do listen really high dynamic range music
These are more rare than you might think. Movies tend to have a greater dynamic range than music, if not bandwidth.

Please stop shitposting. Thank you. Why don't you go learn something, instead of trying to argue that stuff works the way you cluelessly think it works? Besides, >>52884282 told you already. Just give up.
I have a dumb question : do you think your capacity of listening decrease with shitty headphone in years ?

Everything I read from people like Tyll points otherwise. There's a reason why electrostatics exist, and that reason is speed.

No, that reason is placebo

Do you know what a spring is? Do you know what a calculus derivative is? They are two different things, believe it or not.

Shitposters don't just stop when you tell them, that's what makes them shitposters.
I, for one, want to see him continue posting stupid remarks.

>Do you know what a spring is? Do you know what a calculus derivative is? They are two different things, believe it or not.
I dont know calculs, but I know that the best headphone in the world is electrostatic and not your precious dynamic, so there. Tyll's right...dynamic really is mid-fi.
>>52887160
and yet tyll says the hd800 has the best impulse response in existence
>>52887176
HD800 is for neophytes
>>52887160
>I dont know calculs
If you did, we wouldn't be having a conversation about speed.
What you are talking about is the motion of a spring, not so much speed as an abstracted behavior.
>>52887176
>tyll says the hd800 has the best impulse response in existence
It seems like he forgot what an impulse means.
>>52887176

I don't mean to grind your dreams, but whenever you call Tyll a reliable source of information you should bear in mind that he put one of darkest open headphones in production on his Wall of Fame and that he did this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jxdOEpiCTs

Well IM70 is a solid in-ear. The only real con is the bulky earpiece. If you like the bass lift, it's nice.

Is it safe to say that xiaomi piston III s are a meme or has someone here actually tried them out
>>52888487
I've tried them out
I find them a bit too bassy and too dark
then again, I like how bright the 668Bs are and apparently they're stupid bright
>>52888512
they have an insane peak at 5.5k which is the worst part. still bright otherwise but that peak is really bad
Would it be possible to slap a pair of HM5 pads onto a pair of K612s? The stock pads of the K612 aren't really deep enough and so my ears touch the drivers, which gets uncomfortable after a while.
Hello Rato
also fuck you
>>52888512
Even for the bargain price? Or is it worth it to invest a bit more. I have a pair of pl50s but i need a cheaper pair that i wont be afraid to lose
>>52876730
hello rato
pls no baldo
>>52888666
I mean, the 668bs are only a bit more than the pistons 3

I have 400 usd to spend
Should I buy headphones for that money (with dac) or speakers instead? I have a small room, and I'd need it for music, gaming, movies, etc.
Pic related is the hp+dac I was planning to buy, but maybe some quality $400 studio monitors would be a better choice
Question: what do you think about 5.1 and 7.1 headphones?
Any worth the purchase?
>>52876730

Thank you sir, not worried about how big it is, just how comfy it is and how good the sound is
>>52877293
Beyerdynamics DT990 pro or go for the closed version if too noisey inside.
So. Fucking. Comfy.
>>52888349
Sennheiser hd 202 ii superior audio quality for price. Been using them for a year now in the gym, the thing is built like a tank.

You can't believe this shit yourself. You clearly have no idea how the speed of the transducer would effect the response here.

Different uses. LSR305 is good shit though.
>>52889312
The size affects the fit. If you prefer a deep fit, the earpiece and large stem complicate that, although it was meant to be a shallow fit design. I found it workable enough.
Sound is good, as long as you want a bass lift.
>>52889987
Bass lift is nice. Is there anything better in the price range? Shit ships from Hong Kong would rather not wait 3 weeks, if possible.
