K240s > M50s > HD598s
>>52062364
hd580>those
I have tried all three of those.
>>52062232
anything by grado
>>52062232
Like M50s but not shit
>>52062699
>those small cables on the outside of the can
they get wrecked so quickly, and then they are fucked
MDR-V6
>>52062729
I've had them for five years without that happening
But yes, the exposed cables is a bit of a design-flaw.
>>52062769
I had two mdr-v6s lose one ear over two years or so, just past the warranty
bunch of fags in this thread
>>52062800
y-you too
>>52062800
wat
>>52062842
I don't like meme headphones being posted.
>>52062803
aren't those 600 dollars?
I'm going to use this thread is an alternative to ask: What is the best non ipod classic music player? I know that there is one that /g/ specifically recommends, but I can't remember what it's called and if it's good or not.
>>52062800
this isn't even language, it lacks syntax
Op here. I wish you guys could agree, I've done a lot of review research and it's not helpful at all cause everyone talks about how amazing that headphone is and I feel like nobody is really well versed or else they just all have different tastes and it's not helping haha. Right now I have some 75 dollar sennheisers and they're alright but a bit muddy. I just want like extreme clarity and nice fuckin warmth. Something that will make king of limbs sound like the live at the basement version if you know what I mean. Just superb clarity. Any conclusions on what would be the best under 200 or even slightly above?
Also, I want a disconnectable cable and I prefer closed ear.
Thanks guys

I also want an answer to this since the one I'm using now (I found it somewhere) is garbage

You're thinking of the sansa clip with rockbox. It's not the worst option with RockBox
>>52062929
what difference does rockbox make
>>52062942
All rockbox is, is a software alternative to what's already installed on the device. It's just much easier to navigate/mess with.
>>52062929
>sansa clip
I'm looking right now, and it seems the one with the biggest storage is 8 gigabytes? That's trash, I need like 80. Should I just go with the ipod classic?
>>52062942
But I mean if clunky suboptimal UI is your thing, then by all means.
>>52062996
I mean it's upgradable memory with microSD cards (works up to like 32gb iirc) but if you're looking for mass storage you're probably better off going with the classic. I know you wanted alternatives but that's like saying what's the best alternative to a board with 4 wheels, but not a skateboard.

Rockbox also allows you to use bigger SD cards, the biggest flaw of the in-the-box firmware is it only supports up to 32GB before it starts fucking up the index.
Personally, I roll with a 64GB, and considering it's the size of an iPod shuffle, that's cool with me.
>>52062438
Do you think SR60e would play music like GY!BE nicely?
>>52063074
what about audio quality tho
>>52062888
every1 here says sansa clip but from my research cowon and fiios make the best players
>>52063141
I've never had any problems with the audio quality, it supports basically every file format known to man, and is completely EQ tweakable within rockbox.
>>52063162
Confirming this as well.
>>52063162
I figured that the hardware might be inferior at reproducing stuff properly but I also don't know much about the technical side of things
i hear those new Marshall Monitor headphones are good. also the obligatory Audio Techniqas everyone has, and those Sony MDR V6 are good.
The Studio Beats by Dre are actually pretty good too, just overpriced like an Apple product. I have Sennheiser 555's and they're pretty good, but could be bassier.
>>52062364
>meme 50s better than HD598s
gr8 b8 m8
>>52062888
you must be talking about the sansa clip. forget that shit and check out the fiio x1
>audiophile tier sound quality
>99 USD
>up to 128gb mini sd card
quick question
should i get the k240s, k240 mkiis, or m50s?
>>52064112
you should test them if u can and see which ones u like. its all preference, what kind of sound u want.
>>52062864
what sort of poorfag do you take me for
>>52062996
that's why you get like a 128GB external you drop kick
Does anyone know of a headset that's great for listening to music?
>>52062232
I have a pair of M50's love them. I don't have any complaints, but they're also the first pair of high quality headphones I've ever owned.
>>52064620
>headset
>>52064641
Did I say that wrong? I mean like headphones but with microphone
>>52064677
He's probably implying that headsets suck
>>52064677
i was
>implying
get a decent pair of headphones and a clip or or desk mic, headset a shit
>>52064738
Don't have a desk so, any clip mic recommendations?
>tfw you brought a pair for $700 and while they sound fine you don't really hear music at a $700 level
>>52064770
there's a couple of infographics and stuff floating around, can't remember exactly. hopefully someone will be kind enough to post them.
>>52064810
What else is your setup like
Hope you're note just plugging into a laptop
>>52062264

>>52064818
A Xonar Essence ST Soundcard.
>>52064866

>>52065070

>>52065070
get a USB DAC
>>52065113
wow wtf those exist?
>>52065152
just fucking do it. just fucking google it. duh.
>>52065180
i did, calm down there buddy
>>52065070
just fucking do it. just fucking google it. duh.
I've been using K240's for about 3 years now with no problems, except that I wish they were more comfortable. The next pair I get I'm keeping that most in mind; that I was something I can wear for hours with no problems. Anyone have a suggestion for that?
>>52065217
i did, calm down there buddy
>>52065240
just fucking do it. just fucking google it. duh.
>>52065230
I had K240s for a few years and didn't find them uncomfortable at all.
>>52065230
your best option would probably be to try them on, honestly. my k240's are pretty comfortable for me
>>52065240
sorry im just saying what makes sense to me... would rather that than wait for u to post another assertion of desperation
>>52065270
don't worry about it, all good
>>52065262
>>52065269
Do yalls also have plastic ear pads? Mine start sticking to my head, plus they don't stick far enough from my ears.
>>52065304
Well I guess they are leather. Still, makes my head sweat.
>>52065304
Yeah I had the MK-II version with both pleather and velour pads, and surprisingly enough I found the pleather more comfortable. Ears tended to heat up a lot more w/ velour. All that's subjective of course, and pads are easy to get an replace anyway.
Does anyone know of any good quality desk/clip microphones? I'd like something decent to go with the headphones I recently purchased.
Not too expensive, maybe under $150, but I'll take any recs.

Thanks, I'll look into it. Anything for clip mics? I still haven't decided which one I want to buy.
