To be fair, it's actually a pretty good deal on a 5k display.
>And nothing else.
>>54965879
To be fair, there's also a computer inside.
>with a 5k display
>>54965900
If you can call it that.
Also, no shit, sherlock.

this is not out yet
>>54965931
it's a computer, shercuck. don't be an idiot
Latitude XT2
Spacesaver M
>>54966056
That's my point.
I'd rather have the monitor, untethered to that garbage, so I could use it with a proper pc
>>54966233
I'd rather have the monitor with computer built in, it's more powerful than anything I currently own and more power than I'd need
Would the Senn 600s/650s be a good upgrade over a modded set of Hd 558s?
>>54966261
If it's more powerful than you need, you have no use for a 5k monitor, family.
>>54965735
Do you think they just cut the actual saw for this?
>>54966311
Blatantly false. Just using a computer is more than enough to justify purchasing a high resolution monitor.

They're the most comfortable headphones by far.

He's clearly cutting thru the laptop, anon
>>54965158 Never again. It have the crappiest cable i've ever seen.
Five years old now, might be looking to buy Senn again for closed headphones. Their high end open phones are too much for me.
>>54966764
I have one of those, the cable is shit and will break
Excellent for bluetooth.
>>54966879
How does someone manage that? Did you press a soldering iron there?

There's no way its him
>>54966930
I have them for two years now and the cable is just fine.
>>54966998
I used 2mm drill bit to grind a hole in it, then pull the cable out, bore out cable sleeve a bit and insert cable back. And u better solder it fast, that plastic cant handle high temps.

audio-normie here.. here is my input on sony audio;
every sony headphones or anything sony audio I have had sucks balls.
>Crt tv
cant hear shit, have to blast it loud as fuck to understand english
>sony bravia 32
cant hear shit, have to blast it loud as fuck to understand english
>sony bravia 40
cant hear shit, have to blast it loud as fuck to understand english
>old ass gen 1 noise canceling headphones
goat, best $20 Ive ever spent, got two of them cause fucking yea. god help you if you cover the microphone hole though
>2011 noise caneling headphones
sucks balls, feels like its literally earbuds inside of a headphones packaging. noise canceling sucks. audio performance sucks.
>home theater surround sound thing
not a budget model, audio sucks, have to use a separate eq to make it listenable.
blows cause have to readjust the eq for every.fucking.song.
No audio general or anything thread, so copy-pasting into here: Hey /g/. I've been working on craigslisting a home audio system after my previous hand-me-downs failed. Right now I have polk audio ii monitor 30s, and a denon avr-4800, and still working on the turntable. I hadn't set anything up in a while, so I decided to try it all out tonight. I have an RCA to AUX Cable to test out the sound from my laptop/phone. However, once hooked up (what I think is) correct, the sound that gets produced sounds like a muffled laptop speakers with the volume turned all the way up, but half as quiet. If I try to turn it up any more, it clips and the receiver shuts off. I have no idea what the issue is. The banana plugs I'm using were supposed to come with some sort of clamp, but those are missing, but the little spike that goes into the speaker wire is still holding the wire in place, so I don't think that's the issue. What could be my issue here? I wasn't under the impression that the AVR4800 needed a pre-amp, but was I wrong? What the hell is going on?
Update on this: I removed banana plugs and put the speaker wire straight into the receiver. Now, I'm getting sound through my speakers, but it sounds like there is no (if any) bass, and just the sound is horrible quality. Could it be the rca-to-aux cable? What can I do> :(
headphones are always a great purchase because they retain their value incredibly well as long as you take care of them
>>54966797
Me too, until one of the drivers died. I also had a pair of xb500s but one of their drivers died too.

>>54968341
Why the fuck do you keep buying that shit?
>>54968536
Some day I'm picking up a pair of XB-1000s, till then, these are more than good enough.
>>54968507
could it be too much into a single outlet? these speakers sound so flat and im losing my mind
>>54965158
Off the top of my head:
Logitech G100s mouse
Yamaha A-S500 amplifier
Gigabyte 660Ti graphics card
ASUS M489GTD Pro motherboard
GSkill 4x2gb DDR3 ram (in 2010)
Nikon D3100 camera
Sennheiser HD280, HD555 headphones
Sansa Zip Clip mobile music player
Sony PS3 controller
DAS Silent keyboard
QCK+ SK Edition mousepad
ASUS RT-N66U router
Most other items I have regretted or been displeased with at least at some point - these ones have been appreciated almost universally.
Items on this list I have never had any real reason to regret or doubt purchasing.
>>54968596
crt was given to parents at a point after I bought the bravia 40".
The bravia 32 was grandparents. I bought the gen 1 headphones and loved them, but the wire got a short years later. Bought the 2011 version to replace it and got fucked and couldnt return them. found the second pair of gen 1's at toys r us on clearance, knew they were goat so bought them.
the surround sound system was only $30 on craigslist.
good question though, if I bought all of this shit AND paid full retail for it I would be pissed. But I didnt, so I dont really give a fuck.
No audio general, so I'm starting one because I need a problem fixed. I've been working on craigslisting a home audio system after my previous hand-me-downs failed. Right now I have polk audio ii monitor 30s, a denon avr-4800, and still working on the turntable. I hadn't set anything up in a while, so I decided to try it all out tonight. I have an RCA to AUX Cable to test out the sound from my laptop/phone. However, once hooked up, the sound that gets produced sounds like a muffled laptop speakers with the volume turned all the way up, but half as quiet. If I try to turn it up any more, it clips and the receiver shuts off. I have no idea what the issue is. I'm getting sound, but it's just extremely low quality, and don't know what any possible issues could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Except tracking. Never track with open backs.
>>54965321
Yep, had mine for close to a decade and they are still working absolutely perfectly. K702s broke multiple times, Focal Pros broke, these will probably last my lifetime.
>>54968292
Headphones don't produce a sound stage. EQ and Reverb do that in the mix stage.

>>54970321
Correct. Headphones don't produce sound stage.
They represent it.
Just listen to music through a pair of MDR 7506s, then through Sennheiser 598s. The difference is immediately apparent.
Neither are "bad", per se, but the soundstage representation in the 598s is much, much wider, thanks to being open back, vs closed back
seems like we only appreciate headphones
>>54970410
7506s are neutral - that is to say closer how the people making music and producing game audio want you to hear it.
The representation of a sound stage (disregarding the frequency curve for simplicity's sake) is only defined by the distance of the speaker in relation to your ear drum and the reverberation difference between open/closed back. In which case you should go for K702s over 598s if the closed back reverberations are so unbearable from the 7506s. The colouration of the 598s would only be negated if your ear drum was, physiologically speaking, further from the sound source than the norm. So you would have to have a pretty massive head to justify buying 598s.
Most importantly of all, however, your ears become accustomed within a matter of hours to such subtle differences as circumaural reverberation, so unless you are a pro EDM producer somehow not mixing on speakers, you should go for the 7506s.
>>54966233
>so I could use it with a proper pc
You can though. You can even install gentoo on it if you want.
>>54966917
Just got these and I've noticed the bass is focused on the left and kicks on the right
Why?
>>54966917
Same, 7 years I think.
I did go for the hd650 recently though, won't ever regret that either.
>>54970702
>what is acoustic pressure buildup
Also, you did nothing to refute my point, and simply attacked me using 598s as an example (I guess you have some weird grudge against them?)
7506s are perfect tracking cans, but shit for mixing. 598s are garbage for tracking, because sound leakage that comes with open backs, but they are ARGUABLY (key fucking word, here) the best mixing cans at the price point, and excel particularly at positional representation, ie: they've got a good fuckin soundstage, stop being autistic, and learn what you're talking about.

Not even trolling, I love that thing.
