So are these headphones actually good? are they just meme-tier.
yes they're good. best you can get for under $150.
I've had a pair for about a year now. They're fantastic.
really good pair of entry level headphones theyre REALLY unconfortable if you listen for longer than an hour and a half though
>>64755246
Am i the only one who can't tell the difference between different headphones?
they sound amazing for the price but they get uncomfortable after a while
>>64755246
I have the M40x and they are great, I can only imagine the M50x is even better.
>>64755477
yes
>>64755447
>>64755499
really? i can wear them all day and they dont bother me.. one of the most comfy pair i have besides my bose qc15
>>64755246
Great sound. Fatigue after a few hours.
I prefer these
>>64755246
Had mine for 4 years, worth it.
>>64755547
maybe i just have big ears but it seems to be a common complaint, i still have the stock pads so that might be a problem too
I have a pair but I can't seem to distinguish from high quality sound and the stuff I'm streaming. Do I need an amp for these? My PCs sound board isn't very good
>>64755860
I think you need like studio quality monitors to notice those differences. Usually the difference between 320kbps mp3 and FLAC is prominent in the stereo, it'll sound wider. That's a bit hard to notice with headphones because the stereo matrix isn't large enough.
i have them and they sound good but i agree with >>64755553 my ears get very tired after a session of making music
>>64755733
i still have the stock pads too, it's probably ear size. but i use sr850's to record with cuz open back, and those hurt my ear long before the m50's do if ever
what are a better pair of headphones? something around $200-250
>>64755932
>320kbps mp3 and FLAC
lmao if you make music or are an avid listener and cant tell the difference bw mp3 and flac in headphones, or even out cpu speakers for that matter there is something seriously wrong with your hearing
>>64756020
>being this much of a tryhard elitist
>>64756020
>trust me guys :^)
>can totally tell the difference
>definitely not a placebo
You're not impressing anyone by pretending.
>>64756020
moron
>>64756039
>>64756057
>having shitty hearing from blasting music too loud
lmao sorry fellas, it's not that hard
>>64756020
yup, if you've actually recorded and produced music there's an obvious difference between 320 and uncompressed
>>64756685
>>64756106
Shut the fuck up dude you're not gonna hear it on $120 headphones.
Does no one else feel like these rip your fucking hair out once you've been wearing them for a certain length of time then take them off? Gets all caught up in the leather.
>>64755499
>>64755447
Agreed, honestly don't like wearing them for long periods of time, feels kind of tight.
>>64755526
same i choose the m40x because i wanted something more flat. very comfortable imo
i sure as hell like em just wish they were louder but all i do is listen to this shit though so its probably sending me deaf
>>64756685
this
>>64756757
mothafucker i could hear it on an iphone
kill yourself
>>64757505
this is why you fucks cant hear the difference
>>64755281
better than beyerdynamics dt770?
>>64755447
this is true and kinda disappointing
what headphones could i wear all day and not even notice?
>>64755281
the hd558s are the best you can get for under 150
>2016
>not having all of your music encoded in opus or vorbis
>>64758552
you can get 598s for $130...
>>64758552
debatable, but I prefer closed headphones
>>64755447
>>64755499
>>64755553
Disagree completely. Can wear these forever and never get uncomfortable.
>>64755246
both. they're good but not that good and there are better alternatives for the same price. they have a reputation as being babby's first headphone and our popular amongst redditors
>>64759044
*are popular amongst redditors
ffs
They are definitely a meme, there are so many better choices you can get for around the same price range
EX: Beyerdynamic DT770, HD 598, Philips Fidelio X1, hell even the Sony MDR-V6 would be a better choice
>>64755246
uncomfortable as fuck like having your head in a vice after about 5 minutes
>>64759044
You people wouldn't breathe air if it was popular with redditors
listening to them rn. you can find them on amazon for sale new, $100. do it senpai
>>64759107
i'm just trying to explain to OP why they're considered a meme. there are legitimate reasons not to use them as I pointed out
The internet, it's here to sell you things.
>>64759077
>calls aths meme
>lists a bunch of meme phones and open back cancer
This is why you fail
>>64759536
You have no idea what you're talking about
>>64755246
They're the best I've used, but I've only used that and ATH-AD700s (which had an unbelievable sound-stage but did a shit job filtering outside noise.)
They're definitely good. They squash the lower mids a bit so you can hear the sub, which is nice. However, I've made some mixes on them with weaker lower mids then I'd prefer. Easy enough solution is to just check the mix on different headphones. I would definitely recommend them
>>64759731
>mixing with headphones
>>64755246
They're memephones for sure, but they're the best closed headphones at $150 imo. I got mine 2 years ago and love them.
>>64759748
Your tears are appreciated
>>64756020
>actually believing you can tell the difference
top kek
>>64758039
no. 770s are goat
>>64755246
Good headphones.
Grado i60 or i80 are better value IMO if you can deal with the sound leakage
I literally just got home after buying a pair. Using them now. I hope I made the right decision. It's so bizarre to see a thread about them.
>>64759536
please take your autism pills you fuck. open>closed
I just listened to A Moon Shaped Pool with these headphones and it was fucking amazing.
>>64759748
You should mix on speakers, over ear headphones, and ear buds, desu. You aren't just mixing for yourself, you are mixing for your audience.
>>64760295
>open>closed
It's like you WANT it to sound like shit
>>64758617
Literally why should I go through all the trouble of replacing and reacquiring my entire perfectly organized v0 library with vorbis?
>>64760497
>implying anyone other than you will ever listen to your shitty music
>>64760497
considering most people listen to music on shit tier earphones/laptop speakers, you are not wrong
>>64760563
>v0
Must be trolling...
>>64760619
There's a meme going around that v0 is the best
>>64760619
Why would I be? It's always seeded on what.cd + it's transparent for me
I'm not trying to build a lossless archive
>>64760552
>hd650, dt880, he400
dont even try to compete. youve already lost
>>64755499
Nailed it. they're way too tight, and that's coming from someone with a small head.
>>64760798
I have a big head and they're comfy af. You just have beta bitch sensitivity.
Just got them and I've been listening for about 30 minutes. They already hurt, although I can feel the pressure near the top of my jaw the most.
>>64760899
That's what your mom told me last night
I've always been a big fan of these, and the pair I had broke a little while ago. If there's nothing better I think I'm just gonna get these again.
Funny that Sony actually makes a product that isn't a piece of shit for once.
>>64760973
>product that isn't a piece of shit
>broke a little while ago
>>64761031
I had them for over 2 years and beat the shit out of them. I travel a lot for my job. They got stuffed into a pack with a bunch of other shit nearly everyday.
>>64761052
>2016
>not NEET
>>64755246
Depends on whether you want open or closed.
Sennheiser HD 598's blow them out of the water if you don't have a preference.

Thoughts on these? It's within my budget.
>>64761161
I'd recommend against buying anything that's not heavily reviewed.
Besides, it depends on what you need. For instance, if you wanted some portability and don't need a ton of sound isolation, I'd go for the Porta Pro's. Music production? Sony MDR-7506. Personal listening? AKG-240.
Anything reputable and well-reviewed is gonna be hard to go wrong with.
>>64755246
complete meme get the T-50rp
>>64761239
To clarify, by heavily reviewed, I mean like hundreds of reviews on amazon or a reputable line of headphones. AKG, Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser are all very reputable.
i am on a budget of 40USD, any recommendations?
>>64760671
>>>64760619
> Why would I be? It's always seeded on what.cd + it's
What is what.cd?
>>64761408
Read the thread. It depends on what you need, go for something well-reviewed. Google "/g/ headphone guide" for some suggestions.
>>64761440
thanks bro
1/2 These charts are kind of old so I'm not sure how relevant they still are.
>headphones
>not having these
do you guys even listen to music?
>>64761495
2/2
Do u guys think ppl wearing headphones in public look retarded or edgy? I really like headphones but they ruin my hair and I feel self-conscious
>>64761239
AKG-240s are above my price range, unfortunately.
I only have about ~$55. I like closed back with a detachable cable and over ears.
Might have to settle with something else because I feel like what I need and the amount of money I have are not flexible.
>>64756020
Last time I checked CPUs don't have speakers.
>>64761788
I saw a bunch of people wearing them downtown today. It looks pretty normal these days.
good hair < good music
Are IEM s really inferior to headphones with today's technology? And if so by how much?
>>64761530
>Sennheiser HD 598
i dont like open
>>64762122
Same here, I don't want to bother people at my home or public transport by using open headphones
>>64755281
SHP9500?
MDR v6?
AD700x?
HM5/9?
Takstar Pro80?
Seriously m50's are nowhere near as good as they were a few years ago compared to the market now
You guys should explore other options, you might be surprised at how bad your precious m50s actually sound for the price
>>64758507
My AD700's I can wear for hours on end, and I think they sound way better than my M50x's. But unfortunately I can't always use the 700's since they're open cans.
>>64762289
Agreedee
>>64755246
Yeah, excellent for the price range.
>>64761438
Music lover's paradise
>>64760552
you're a complete idiot. music is made to be listened to on speakers, open back is the closest you can get to that with headphones
WHAT ARE THE BEST COMFY EARPADS TO REPLACE THE M50x PADS?
>>64763969
brainwavz hybrids. If you got some big ass ears like me get the angled pleather/velour. All of these are under $30.
