Plantronics Gamecom 780. They could me more comfortable and the cable quialty is shit. Sound wise i dont have anything to compare them with since this is the only good headset i had., i dont dislike it at least, i have the akg k404s and i like them well enough too
Bought some of these. They arrived today, gave them a test at home and on a packed metro.
tl;dr they're pretty darn nice for the price. Bass heavy if that's your thing, so rock and orchestral soundtracks yes, mozart's violin concerto no. Feel solid and comfy. If they're the right shape for your ears there's a fair amount of enclosing noise cutoff. If they fall apart or bust a cable within the next few weeks I'll eat my words, but pretty impressed.
mods are asleep, post easter setups
I have all the money in the world thanks to not spending any. What to replace my Denon d5000 with? I passed on the HD800, not enough cool bass.

>>53715463
I feel like the HD800 has plenty of bass, unless you mean Grado levels of bass. Try modding with a resonator or getting the HD800S to tame the highs, it'll let you turn the volume up a bit and bring the bass out more.

Will my Sony MDR-7506' ever go out of style?
>>53715597
>>53715619
Had em for over 2 years, nothings broke. I do know most of you faggots got the fakes from amazon though.
>>53715588
And if you're using a parametric EQ, add around +3~4db at 75hz & 20hz or thereabouts.
>>53715588
Its all a matter of what you get used to. The denons can push out cinematic levels of bass when needed, sure the hd800 is more accurate but they dont blow your mind and ears in some movies.
>>53715633
Yeah I'm shitting you. I've had HD600s as my daily driver for 2 years with no problems. This despite the fact that my head is fucking massive.

Currently using the HD 558 w/ foam mod (I like the comfort and the soundstage, but am looking to upgrade)
I found AKG Q 701's for <$120 from a local retailer and was wondering if I should jump on the offer.
Thanks
>>53715039
Dude, you missed.
Last thread was >>53692695
>>53715669
Well, from my experience Grados and planar-magnetics push out the meatiest bass at the TOTL level as far as open-back cans go, but they're usually heavy or uncomfortable or both.
>>53715417
How are they compared to beats
>>53715913
The k701 is pretty bassless but its a huge clarity jump from using sennheiser socks on your ears. Get it
>>53715913

>Past headphones

Just go for the Q701s if they're that cheap. that's $50 off the normal price. At least you'll have a better idea of what headphone you want when you increase your budget up to $250-$500.
Personally, I'm not a fan of anything marketed by a celebrity even if it's apparently a decent headphone according to reviews. Frequencies looks a bit exaggerated in the middle though if I had to say something more justifiable against it.
>>53715873
Can I play along?
>>53715913
open: 558
closed: XPT100, very comfy, nice & neutral
hi you reccomend me the mdr 7506/v6 im seeing people claiming they sound different, why is that?

>>53716320
>Asking "Hey guys, what's your opinion on x?" is frowned upon.
that being said, I have the 3, they're too dark for my taste and I feel the bass stretches out too long
>>53716320

Roll-off the bass using EQ. Piston 3 has better measurements than Hybrid.
Hybrid may have distant vocals.

>>53717086
HD 558 is the better option.
>>53717086
the 518 have more bass, the 558 have bass and mids, i would buy the 558 unless you want more bass, but believe me both have enough, only the 518 has more

kek @ inflated EU prices, there's HD 558's on Amazon USA for 99 usd brand new and 64 refurbished
>>53717378
kek and in usa the dt880 premium is 300$ where in germany there are 200€. Also all EU prices are incl. VAT.
What do you guys think about dt 990 premium 250 ohm with the schitt stack? I would be listening to metal on them, mainly melodeath and doom. My current cheap cans are flat as fuck and have no bass whatsoever, like i cant even hear tje the bass guitar and drums have no impact to them. I have better listening experience on my 5 dollae earbuds even.
From the research I've done so far i think dt 990s would have the perfect ammount of bass for me what do you think? Btw i dont want closed cans
>>53717743
DT880 or Fidelio X2's.
The DT990 has ear piercing treble
>>53717782
Well thats where im confused, because some people say they do and some say they are just fine..
>>53717827
My theory is that people who say that they are fine are coming from much worse headphones.

i own a akg 240 mk ii. At first i thought they didnt have bass but actually they have. The bad kind of bass.

I kinda like how they're neutral but if i cant reach this without having this "boomy" bass i dont mind having something less neutral

MDR7506 with Beyerdynamic EDT 250 V Ear Pads
>>53718114
does this have a decent bass or it solves my problem with not having any bass? thanks for the help
>>53718056
HD 558 (open) might be the best option, they're recommended for people that don't want much bass and neutral balance.
Or you could go with >>53718114 if you want something closed.
About the HD 558, I bought them after asking advice here for neutral headphones, but they're yet to come (fucking correios and its alfândega).
And care to give some examples of "options"? Everything on MercadoLivre is fucking overpriced and regular stores just have shit headsets and even more overpriced than MercadoLivre (Kabum has the HD 558 for 1050 BRL, while MercadoLivre is 850 BRL).
>>53718210
It has the best bass under 300€
Coming from the superlux 668b, is it worth it to get the Senn hd600? Or should I just stick to entry level.
>>53718251
I thought this would be the dt770s or something. what am I missing?
>>53718239
yeah its overpriced but when you do some math on dollar value plus if you get the import taxes the hd558 will be ~700BRL. I'm lazy so I'd rather pay 150BRL more than to deal with our shitty postal plus having my shipment stuck in Curitiba god knows how long. You're the guy that told me about htforum, if I'm not mistaken you used shipito right? how much was the value that you estimated on your package? something around 50 dollars?
>>53718431
For monitoring yes. For fun no
Superlux HD668B.
Yay or nay
Also I need recs for a cheap microphone for voip
>>53718445

shit's well made & sounds good, if you can deal with the extra wire tangle, get it
>>53718445
I'm the anon who used Shipito, but the one who told you about htforum is a different anon.
Airmail Economy 12.45$ (cheapest way of shipping that Shipito has) + 2$ fee + 4.65$ of insurance. The problem with Airmail Economy is there is no tracking unless you're lucky enough (which I was) to the courier issue a tracking for your package.
About the value, well, we (the costumers) are the ones responsible to fill the customs declaration, so I put 45$ for the package and that it was a gift. But I still don't know if I'm going to pay taxes or not (hopefully not).
Shitty pic, but just picked up some DT 990 Pros last week. Powering them with an SMSL SD-793II, savoring Fleetwood Mac's 2004 remaster of Rumours right now.
>>53718466
This is me here: >>53718879
I had the HD668-Bs until last week. Bout two years, maybe a touch less. They were amazing headphones, especially for the price. Through some AKG velour pads on them and they're great, but there are some pain points if you're not considering the price.
Firstly, the bands that actually hold the phones together are quite small, and they touched my head the entire stretch through, their version of the Audio-Technica 3D wings did nothing. The plastic around the bands was cracking, and one of the phones was a little loose in it's cup/hinge.
If you're never going to spend over $100 on a pair of headphones, just stick with the HD668-Bs and replace them when necessary. If you're wanting to stick with a headphone that is basically a better HD668-B and you can stomach a price over $100, get the DT990 Pros.
Do I need AMP/DAC with MDR-7506 / V6 or they are good on their own?

>>53722738
if you go with beyers or sennheisers you eliminate one of those flaws (and avoid the 2khz bump altogether). they're probably the most common recommendations for open headphones in that price range. K7XX are probably the least offensive AKG headphones which could also be a consideration if they go up for sale and you like the fit of the shape they use. there's also those t50rp mk3s that people seem to be raving about but as i haven't heard them i can't recommend them.

>>53722803
HD558 pretty good?
>>53722821
yes, you can remove some foam behind the driver to make them more like the hd598, but it also drops the bass level down as well, best to experiment. at the $100 price point they're a really good value imo. can be thought of as a 'almost there but not quite' hd600.
also for the reason above i'd recommend avoiding the hd598.

enough shitposting tho, get out
-Frequency response and impulse response contain the same information. The usual magnitude chart is only a part of what can be considered the frequency response.
-The magnitude response by itself is still the central factor in what makes a headphone "good".
-Amplifiers and digital-analog converters are different things with different, specific functions.
-You can only hope that the a measurement sample is generalizable to all models.
-You have to assume that measurement gear represents a realistic use. Proper proportions are extremely critical and difficult to achieve with acoustic measurements.
-Octave smoothing is concealing of in-depth information. It destroys fine detail about the sound timbre.
-At the same time, a parametric equalizer allows for extreme control of the magnitude response, whatever the headphone is. Equalization can be applied upon any system for a more desirable response.
-Waterfall charts don't provide useful information. Neither do square waves. Skip them.

Is it the square waves that decide how much detail and clarity a headphone will have? There's also the bass thing, but how bad/exaggerated could "no bass" really be with headphones? I can understand not hearing the bass on earphones, but on any decent headphone?
I'm trying to figure out which qualities it is that let me hear more subtle details on my K702s than on something shitty like the M30X.

No, square waves aren't important.

>From 20hz to 20khz, completely flat
Reliable headphone measurements above 10kHz don't happen, usually dubious even above 8kHz.
>>53723466
Earbuds are not a catchall moniker for earphones. Earbuds are a subset that sound poor in general.
Go fill the advice template.
>>53723634
On what planet does rolled off bass and exaggerated treble mean 'flat'? Looking at any frequency response graph with those characteristics would clearly not be flat but rather tilted upward.
>>53723673
>usually dubious even above 5kHz.
Fixed that for you. Or you could even change that to 1kHz if you exclude the few headphones that are capable of a decent upper midrange.
>>53723578
man, I wanted to get the HD600 but I can't get over that horrendous build quality. They seem to be pretty flat though, at least I'll have some flavour to choose from with the K702s I got instead
I ended up getting the K702s instead just because I wanted my first set of $200+ headphones to actually last. At least I'll have some flavour to choose from when I get another headphone as flat as the HD600.
What are the odds that the HD600 will get a revision with better build quality?
>>53723689
Telephone frequency range repeatability is not a problem any measurement jig ever had with a competent headphone.
The errors blow up above 7-8 kHz from pinna issues.

It isn't that flat, nor is it that poorly built. The flatness is not an important parameter.

>What are the odds that the HD600 will get a revision with better build quality?
Sennheiser tend to do little updates here and there without making a big deal out of revisions. Their drivers for the HD600 have changed countless times over the years with little improvements here and there and apparently the plastic used for the headphone itself has been reinforced, but don't quote me on that.
>>53723810
But they aren't neutral, that was the point made by >>53723578 and myself. The lacking bass is a coloration, the increased treble is a coloration and the AKG bump at 2kHz is a major coloration.
Any of you own the HE400S?
I just got a pair of speakers with planar tweeters and now I'm intrigued with the idea of having planar drivers in headphones.
>>53723810
That stand is awesome though, forgot to put in my post >>53723835.
I really should just make something like that instead of waiting for some used HPS-R to go up because the RRP is stupid.
>>53723835
>the AKG bump at 2kHz is a major coloration
I kinda like that bump. Makes everything sound like it's full of air. It especially makes outside noises (leaves, trees, bushes) like in video games sound amazing.
Since I live with noisy people I've been using my B&W P7's over my AKG's these days. I must say, after breaking in, they are an absolute pleasure.
>>53715873
What earphones anon? The tips look interesting, I'd like to try something like that. I use RHA buds with my Galaxy S7 Edge, a really nice match in my opinion.
>>53723849
Air is generally attributed to frequencies above 9kHz. the 2kHz bump in AKG headphones gives vocals a metallic sound, IME.
>>53723578
>>53723835
This is why I think the K612 Pro is one of AKG's best. The 2khz bump is still there but the treble is down to neutralish and there's plenty more bass, although the subbass is similar
>>53723578
>gook shit
look at a real graph
http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/AKGK702.pdf
>>53723849
>>53723866
Forgot to mention, what you described is probably attributed to the brightness in the treble, not that bump. You'd get a similar impression with the DT880.
>>53723866
>>53723883
Really? I found the K612 to sound a lot more airy than the DT990s (playing withcer 3) and those have extremely loud treble
>>53723835
I'm fairly new to this whole thing,, the 702's are clean and lacking bass to me and that's fine as i'm adding a touch of bass with the apo EQ..
I'm very happy.
>>53723881
I have no idea how to read and analyze that graph
>>53723871
The bump is what turns me off their headphones entirely but to each their own, I suppose.
Then again I never liked the fit of their headphones anyway and they reuse the same chassis for everything.
>>53723889
http://www.independentrecording.net/irn/resources/freqchart/main_display.htm should give you a better idea of what sounds (at least instruments and vocals in this example) equate to which frequencies.

>>53723921
Have these been measured?
>>53723845
The 400S is pretty bad with stock pads. A very severe lack of bass response, ragged response above it. Uninspired build.
Less permeable pads can improve bass, I didn't care enough to try them all.
>>53723871
>although the subbass is similar
The flat line isn't being held consistent. Goldenears applied additional EQ to the K612. You can adjust the difference out, but that is an additional step of correction.

Honesly they're shit. I got mines recently and I'm returning them, the quality isn't as amazing as the shills claim and it isn't bass overload like the pussy eared racist say.

Motorheadphones Bombers, whatever shitty sony headphones I could afford. I liked the formers a lot but the diadem was rigid so they would crush my ears after a little while. Also the cord was sturdy but not removable.

Turtlebeach PX 22, gaymen headphones but they actually have a pretty good sound, they include a USB block (DAC/AMP?) with bass and trebles selectors (see pic related), and setting it to mid trebles and full bass made it deliver an awesome sound for the price range (±90€).
Been using an old Toneport UX1 (usb audio interface) to listen to music from my PC, but the volume knob is going out and sound is jumping from left to right in my headphones as I adjust it
Is there anything usb powered that can do the same thing for cheap? Just looking for something that I can plug my 1/4 headphones in and control the volume from a knob.
