K612 and fiio E10k
So I tried to split my detachable headset (HyperX Cloud Core) into the headphone out port of my FiiO E10K and mic into my PC's mic-in front panel and I had a lot of noise and static.
I'm pretty sure it was an audio feedback issue.
With out the mic plugged in it's perfect and clean, no noise but of course I want to use my mic.
Anyone with this combo? What should I do? Should I just buy a USB mic?

Me too. OP please respond
Is it possible to pick headphones or EQ them according to the quality of your hearing? I'm pretty sure my hearing is bad, and a little different between the two ears. Any good way to test that?
I can't fit this type of cable anywhere, let anyone anything somewhat like what I want. I just bought NVX XPT100 and the cable comes out one from each can, running parallel and joining at the stereo jack. No idea what this type of cable is called. More so, I want to find one that has this 1 stereo to 2 mono setup and is coiled. Does this even exist?
>>54634271
Sorry for the shitty sentence structuring.
Hi guys.
I have a LIttledot MK1+, Music Streamer III DAC, and Grado 325e's.
I'm looking for a closed ear alternative for more bass heavy music. I love my Grado's for jazz, acoustic, or anything with a lot of mid-highs. They're severely lacking in the bass department though.
Any recs for $450 and under, that would pair nicely with the Littledot?

>>54634625
I'll try to be clear, but it really is convoluted to describe.
Dual mono male to single stereo male, coiled cable.
>>54634664
No, I understand that, but what size jacks plug into the cans? 2.5mm?
For example, I use mini XLRs.
>>54634720
Oh right.
All of them are 3.5mm.
I've returned my M50x since they're way too fucking expensive and uncomfortable and ordered myself HM9, which on sale for 80 bucks.

>>54634746
I can't seem to find any 3.5mm to dual 3.5mm coiled. I think you'll have to make your own.

What are some good microphones for gaming if I already own a good pair of headphones?
I have no clue where to look and the wiki doesn't really help here.
Price doesn't matter, but it should at least be better than the typical shitty headset microphone.
>>54635670
>microphones for gaming
You're just setting yourself up for shitposts by writing things like this. Audio is audio.
I'm guessing you mean something portable which clips on to the headphone, or do you mean something full size? Start there for better replies.
>Price doesn't matter
Again, setting yourself up. Someone is gonna recommend a $5K microphone. You could just get a Blue Yeti or something if you want full size as most people consider it a good balance of price and performance.
>>54635730
Yeah you're right, the topic makes me feel like a retard though because I have no idea where to look.
Blue Yeti might be a bit too much for what I need.
I'm currently looking at the ModMic 4.0 which seems to do the job.
I just need something that doesn't use too much space, doesn't sound like shit and I don't want my friends to hear the birds outside of my window.

Sorry but I live in a shithole (Brazil) and those models are pretty expensive here.
I had a K452 that was okay to me.
It was stolen and now I need a cheaper one.
My options are Y40, Y50, HD 201, HD 202 II, PX100-IIi, XB450, some Audio Technica (ATH-S100, ATH-AX1IS, ATH-AX3, ATH-ANC25) and some older AKG ( K404, K414, K511, K518, K44).
I liked the Y50s because the detachable cable, but if any of those have a better quality, I won't mind.
I don't really care about how they look.
Except having too much treble, anything is fine.

>>54638267
>How does the TD500 weight against it?
it's open and bass light, meme50 are closed and bass heavy.
TAD500's fidelity is better.
>Or the TAD500 vs Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro Headphones - 80 Ohm
>or ATH-MSR7BK
i don't really like comparing open headphones to closed. you're going to find the same kind of bass on DT 770 as M50, but with a lot more treble.
MSR7 have a similar sound signature to TAD500 but with more neutral bass. they're also out of your budget.
>>54638364
I can stretch to the MSR7's...
But I might pull the trigger on the TAD500's anyway. Thank you anon.

Best gym headphones setup?
Currently i am using westone adv, with standard westone cable and shure yellow foam eartips.
The adv cable fucks up as soon as it gets a little wet. I used to use westone 4rs but sweat got inside and killed them.
The shure cable is too heavy and too long. All the westone eartips are garbage. The comply tips are ok, but i prefer the shures. They dont last as long, but i got a big bag of them and replace every couple weeks.

I'm looking for monitor headphones that are easy to drive, I already have the M50 but I find it's soundstage lacking.
>>54639734
most likely not
I own the DT 880 and the HD 600 and I can say that the veil of the Sennheiser's is a meme.
I find the HD 600 to be even more detailed than the DT 880. The DT 880 have more pronounced highs, but that doesn't mean better detail, on the contrary, it hides the presence of the mids.

Brainwavz HM5, I like the sound, build quality leaves much to be desired as my pair's headband is more epoxy than plastic where the earcups attach
Replaceable cable is a must
>>54639063
V6 actually, but yeah, pretty much the same, i like it, for a while it was my main monitor, after de DT880 it only saw use for live monitoring or recording.
I still listen to it during trips or when in need of isolation though.

Currently use Bose Triport OE when on the bus to work or walking around the hospital campus (what I'm attempting to replace) and beyerdynamic DT770 250Ω at home when just listening or playing the drums.
I know you guys hate wireless, but for my purpose it's a very attractive feature. I completely understand the drawbacks. Noise cancellation isn't necessary, typically a closed can is more than enough isolation for my environment.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
>>54642579
300 USD is unfortunately a graveyard in the closed headphone department outside of maybe fostex t50rp mods, particularly for a balanced sound signature
closest I can think of is the oppo-PM3, and I'd hardly call that balanced. The THX-00 even less so. I think this is the part where you just buy an overpriced bose QC 25 and call it a day

they will complement your m50 nicely, alternatively a used hifiman 400s if you can find a good deal

>>54642880

Also, how do the HD558s compare?
>>54642942
garbage opinions incoming
Haven't heard the hd558's to compare them, supposedly the 558's have a bit more bass but less clarity and sound quality pretty much across the board. I can only compare them to the he-400s and fostex t50 rp mk3s and by far I preferred the hd-600s stock compared to both if you don't mind a neutral laid back sound signature, or just EQ them if you really want them to be V-shaped/forward or something. The fostexes are fun as hell for closed headphones but uncomfortable and the he-400s has issues in the mids department compared to the hd600, it felt like a slight downgrade everywhere except in bass quality. The 600's beat the shit out of both of them in everything but bass where it's anemic compared to the planars without some equalizing, but even then it can't really match the speed and fast decay of the fostex or quantity in the 400s
>>54643243
Wew lad that's a lot of information to take in. So if I understand what you're saying, you're saying that the 558s are the worst in terms of clarity and overall quality, and the HD 600s have the most neutral signature, but lack in the bass department?
So if I don't really care much about bass, you would say the HD 600s are the best? How about Beyerdynamic DT-880s?
>>54643292
Not the same anon but I just got a pair of hd598's and the bass on them is fine, with a good amount of detail across the spectrum.I would pick the hd600 over them but money was an issue.
>>54643505
Yeah I'm really not trying to spend $200 on headphones but would be willing to. I gotta buy an Intel cpu son ; - ;
>>54643520
Well the AD series from audio technica are NOT balanced, all AT open cans are treble heavy, so your best bet is the hd558.
>>54643588
Are HD 598s worth the extra $50
>>54643597
Can't say as it's been years since i heard the 518 or 558, but I would pay the $50 just for the aesthetic improvements.
I don't regret spending $220 AU on them, put it that way. They don't stack up against the hd600 or k712, but they're good for the price.
>>54643632
Great, thanks for the help my man

HD600's shills are out in full force, I see....
>>54645268
meme. also be careful about v6/7506 measurements, they differ a lot depending on the source, like way too much for a headphone that well know. the ones that show them close to neutral are wrong imo, they have a prominent upper mids emphasis and sibilance, but also some lower-bass boost into a dip in the lower mids, so overall the impression is v-shaped leaning towards the highs. but they definitely have bass, if anything the way the bass transitions into the mids makes it seem boosted depending on the music. in eq lower upper mids and highs some to reduce sibilance, raise the bass a tad where you want and they really slam, great impact and tightness on the bass. all subjetive impressions obv but I have experience with a good number of the popular /hpg/ headphones.
>>54639388
not outright uncomfortable but they sit on your head kind of awkward and the stock pads suck. no pressure points though and they're easy to bend if they clamp too hard. I would get the samson sr-850, it's basically a 668b with an akg-style and a velour pads, though the cable system is just plain fixed, so worse than the 668b. alternatively buy better pads. you can get cheap velours or shell out for beyer or hifiman ones which will fit.

I own both. I would say the sony if you're willing to put time in with eq to get them where you like. they also have a better build and comfort imo. the m40x is more balanced though, and it has a detachable cable, so more portable. better soundstage on the m40x too, the v6 sounds confined even for a closed headphone. the detail and general sq of the v6 is amazing for the price though.

Can someone advise-me a good headset for PS4 (max. 64€)? I'm surely not asking for a top-level headset, just a good one... if possible with mic and wireless.

That sounds like the headphones, not your head.
It's like wearing glasses that are too small for you.
>>54641324
Momentum in ear
>>54641324
I have the momentum in ear and they're pretty great. Can't speak for durability becuase it's been less than a month but they seem to be pretty warm, the bass is strong but not overpowering and once you get then in right, you can wear then for an indefinite amount of time. Passive noise isolation actually works pretty well too, at least for earphones.
>>54647834

>going full retard
I'm not very smart. How come the MDR-7506's are rated as 130 dolllar headphones on the Sony website, but don't cost nearly as much? Is that the original price they were at in 1991?
>>54651352
it's the MSRP
sony are just being retarded
>>54651386
And here I was getting super excited for getting them cheaper. I wonder if getting the 7510 would have been a better idea.
>>54651398
there's no good reason to get 7510. if you want the bassy/v-shaped signature the 7510s provide, you'd be better off with something like m40x
>>54651352
Company's official shop usually sells for more, same goes for almost all brands that sell in their own website, you should try amazon or some other alternative instead.
>>54651441
Yeah got them from amazon, and as a matter of fact just got the notification that they arrived and will be picking them up soon. So damn hyped, hope they're not fakes.
>>54651211

So let me get this straight: the AKG K7XX is really just the 65th anniversary, but just made in China? And now it's $200? The drivers themselves aren't gimped at all?

Weird thing: in 30$ headphones it sounds amazing. In 250$+ headphones it sounds like shit. Is there any explanation?
>>54653133
lower-end headphones tend to be less detailed and more colored in sound reproduction, so lo-fi sounds are much more forgiving on (typically) cheaper hardware.
That's my guess, anyway.
>>54653133
the more expensive headphones had a sound signature you didn't like
or the music was just bad and the headphones revealed it
>>54653133
Explanation is that price is not an indication of quality and sound can be very subjective in some ways to people.

>So let me get this straight: the AKG K7XX is really just the 65th anniversary, but just made in China?
Yes
> And now it's $200?
Yes, but it's overpriced considering that both the Q701 and the K702 can be had for less money and they're not much different fron the K7XX.
> The drivers themselves aren't gimped at all?
Compared to the AKG Annie, no. Compared to the Q701/K702 the K7XX is supposed to have a 3dB boost below 100 Hz, which is basically an unnoticeable difference.
>>54653133
Either the encoding was shit, or the mixing was shit. Better gear reveals those details.

I would also like to mention that I will be producing with these headphones. So I need pretty good audio quality.
Thanks in advance.

thanks you so much.are they not good even for music production?

depends on your budget
Superlux HD 681 are very similar, cheaper and more accurate, although they might sound unpleasant to some people due to their brightness.
fill out the template in the OP if you want purchase advice. i'm going afk now.
>>54654869
ok thanks i was just wondering.sorry if i bothered you.
To that anon that asked me to post once I got my MDR-7506 headphones, I got them now, confirmed that they're not fake, and I really like them.
You said you wanted to listen to something like AC/DC, but the closest I have on my phone right now that's FLAC, is some 80s and 90s Japanese goth rock. Comparing them to my old HD-681 EVO's, that are labeled as "semi-open" and are said to be bassier, the Sony's are noticeably better. I don't know how to explain it exactly, but the sound is like it's clearer and nicer to listen to. They're not completely bassless, you can still hear it and ejoy it, they're just not niggerbass headphones. Been wearing them for no more than an hour, but for now they're very comfy, don't clamp too hard, and my ears fit nicely inside.
Don't know how to compare them to the XPT100's others recommend for the same price, but I don't regret buying them at all. They're good, and I personally like the aesthetic as well.
>>54654907
you didn't bother me, i just had to leave.
Guys I just noticed my MDR-7506 arrived with no warranty inside the box. Just some Sony Prime Support paper that asks you to register on their website and activate "product support", but I can't access it now.
Is this normal? I ordered from Amazon for a normal price if that matters. Starting to worry they might be fake.
What's a /hpg/ approved niggerbass headphones under 300$?
Sony doesn't produce the XB1000 which were the only one I saw recommended here
So Xiaomi apparently released their new in ears. Wonder what they will sound like. Have the original pistons myself which were pretty decent for the money.
>>54656348
DT 770
Fidelio X2
>>54656496
>Fidelio X2
Those seem like meme headphones to me. Only got popular because they reached a low of like 80$ on Amazon and the price skyrocketed after.
Are the DT770 real bassy headphones or just "i can hear the subbass therefore it's niggerbass" ?
>>54656543
they are real bassy alright
Any good PS4 headsets? (maximum 150€)

Just figured someone would know since everyone talks about them in here.
So... I'm very new to this audiophile scene and I'm wondering how "drops" on massdrop work? I'm looking I to these, so is the "join drop" thing really just a buy bottom or do you have to wait or...
>>54656981
You join the drop and they'll mail your item sometime within the next year.
If you're lucky it only takes a couple months
I think they don't charge you until the item is mailed tho
>>54657015
Oh that's gay, nevermind these things then
>>54649674
but... 220 is close to the normal going on ebay, and it's not exactly a hard to find headphone.
you want something harder to find, there is a mad dog up right now for a pretty good price.
>>54650259
how did that happen? the m100 is one of the best built headphones.
>>54657422
i was wondering the same thing when i heard about the broken HM5 yesterday.
i guess even the most sturdy headphones have a limit.
>>54653133
shitty production/mastering/recording on the album that becomes much more noticeable on good headphones, especially ones with raised or level highs. metal has this same problem, older albums especially.

>>54655693
glad you enjoy them, and yeah coming from an absolute bass cannon like the evo most headphones will sound less bassy, but it's definitely there in the sony. try some eq, especially in the 2-5k region.
>>54657563
There isn't a huge difference between the evos and the sonys, they really aren't as bassless as people say, at least in my opinion. Sad that can't fiddle with the EQ properly since all I have is a phone right now.
>>54656543
>Only got popular because they reached a low of like 80$ on Amazon and the price skyrocketed after.
the X2 have never been that low. maybe you're thinking of the shp 9500? the x2 is the philips flagship, and if you're actually looking for niggabass you might be disappointed, they're not nearly on the level of the xb line, the bass boost isn't that crazy compared to other bassy headphones, and it's below some like the m100.
stuff like the th-600/900, 681evo, sz1000/2000 are actual niggabass.
