Headphone repairs? I have MDR-V6s and something seems to be wrong in the connection between the wire and the earpieces that makes sound cut out in the right ear. Any way to fix for someone with no experience working with electronics, or any way to get them fixed by someone who does?
Excited to get a pair of 7506's. I was debating between them and Sennheiser HD 558's. Since the price went up for them I am going to get the Sony headphones. It been a while since I used them so I don't exactly remember the sound quality.
Oh well.
Xiaomi Piston 3? For someone who does most of their listening at their computer (with a typical $100-$200 budget for headphones and speakers) and just needs something for exercise and occasional down time/walking, would it be good enough, or would it drive me nuts with harsh highs?
>>53873126
Sounds like a loose wire or joint. If you're comfortable with a soldering iron and you know where it is you should be able to fix it yourself.
>>53873174
Piston 3 doesn't have harsh highs, recessed ones if anything. They're like smoother Nighthawks.
>>53873252
Is there anything else about the sound quality (of these or cheap ones in general) that could be seen as annoyingly bad? I havent put much into studying different aspects but harsh highs and clipping/loudness war are the one obvious thing that really bugs me.
>>53873244
I haven't used a soldering iron since high school and I wouldn't know where to look so that seems doubtful.
>>53873427
I expect Sony would have a repair service but they'll charge quite a bit for it. Another option is to check your local services to see if there is a third party consumer electronics repair service. Maybe even ask a computer repair service.
>>53873362
Cheap in-ears tend to be bass heavy or tilted in favor of it anyway.

People tried to steer me away from these, but I don't really see why. I think you should stop shilling pornheisers.
>>53875219
Thoes are worse than the DT770. Worse than Takstar Pro80s actually. Tesla drivers were just a rushed mistake.
>>53875240
How so? They sound amazing over here. By someone actually using them. I think you're falling for a placebo meme.
>>53875252
Measurements are objectively less placebo than your hearing.
(Orange is Takstar Pro80, Green/Red are DT1770 L/R)
>>53875252
Magnitude response is not placebo.
>>53875269
>>53875271
Are you implying you can hear those curves? Like, what even does that mean?
>>53875302
We're implying your listening impressions are as valuable as the dirt on your shoes.

But they're so good.
I'm waiting for my 02+DAC digital edition in the mail. shipped fro Switzerland today.
>>53875330
You've fallen for the placebo meme.
>>53875340
How so? I wasn't even aware of these so called "tesla-drivers" before I ordered them.
I really liked my DT770 32Ohm edition that I have been using for a year. These are pretty amazing compared.

Every thread without that paste turns to shit and this one did already, its necessary until he fucks off of /g/.

Let me check on the last /hpg/ thread I created without your personal vendetta.
>>53793605
Looks pretty good until about 2/3rds of the way down until some retard started accusing another of being a belgian. It would seem you are merely trying to force a meme to satisfy your personal vendetta.
>>53876165
It wasn't. Same fucking chain of cancer as you probably took someone's bait again. Stop replying and report if the posts are nothing but shitposting, that's the only way to stop it.
>>53876127
>ideal response
This is personal. Without equalization no headphone matches that weird response curve in the picture.
>>53876156
What is the target on the K553 used in that picture? It isn't the raw response.

It seems as if your a belgian faggot stop samefagging and shitposting you fag you are killing this general with this leddit tier bullshit. The other thread was nothing but shitposts between a newfag(s) and the belgian.

A couple of questions about the K702
I've read that the more recent K702 now come with the anniversary edition pads. Is this true?
On amazon both annie and normal K702 say that they have "3D-Form" pads. What is this 3d form?
>>53876216

Can we not flood the thread about an unimportant pastebin?
>>53876345
Go to a ear specialist if you can afford to. Check for ear drum ruptures. Or it could be a short piece of hair that's inside your ear canals and when you insert a eartip the hair touches your ear drums and it hurts.
>>53876376
prove you don't own akgs and own shp9500 otherwise you are the akg shill welfarecuck until you prove you are not.
all you have to do is post a timestamp with your headphones

>>53876539
hd800 weren't $800 then were they. $800 is even less than the hd700 rrp.
JVC HA-RX900.
Comfy and affordable. Highly recommended for those on a budget.
There is actually a way to modify these headphones to improve the treble (I think?) but I cba with it.

Come on now i proved that i own HD555s now prove your aren't shitposting and belgian.
>>53876803
since k702 shill owns hd555 you haven't proven you aren't him as you try to imply
Just wondering, but how did people figure out that this shitposter is specifically Belgian? Or did he at one time specify that he was?
MP3 320 kbps or AAC 256 kbps? I only have two choices. Which is better?
>>53876829
the shitposter thought he'd set up a trap by making a shitposting headphone thread on /int/ and a belgian guy posted in the thread telling them that he's just a shitposter from /hpg/ spamming.
as a result anyone who disagrees with the shitposter is belgian and he went as far as making the pastebin to spam, because when it's in a pastebin it's truth.

DT880 Pro.
I don't care if that certain anon says 600 ohm is better. If it's better then I'll EQ mine more. I like the replaceable leatherette wraps and the coily cable which is the same as the vintage DT880s coily cable. Until that day I hear the DT880 600 ohm is better then I'll trade up for it and sell mine but what's the point, I could EQ.

Sides have blasted into orbit
>>53879973
Then use negative EQ values. Why would you increase them? For what reason? It makes distortion.

>>53880285
K702, K7XX and DT880 are all better than the HD600 or HD650
>>53880324
My friend has one. It sounds really good. Another alternative is a MSR7 but it doesn't have that bass.
>>53880285
The HD 800 is more analytical, HD is very flat but lacks sub bass
>>53880324
Its shit for that price.

How does the DT880 compare to the HD800?
This guy says DT880 is analytical https://youtu.be/-EjMwWB-0ds?t=7m20s
>>53880450
If you consider the point of dimishing returns, you get more value for the money with the dt880, the HD 800 is better but more expensive, if you can and want to pay for it then go for the Hd 800
>>53880400

HD 600 would be my blind recommendation to anyone looking for a high end open back headphone.
>Is it true HD600 > HD800?
Kind of subjective isn't it? HD 600 would be better in my opinion without any modifications or use of equalizer. Apply the use of EQ and the HD 800 does stuff a little bit better and is in my opinion more comfortable.

The FR is importan since they show how loud they reproduce the frequency, but the way they show each sound is different from headphone to headphone, some show the bass more solid, the trebble more light granny sound in general, when the sound is detailed is different from the FR

Yes, check goldenears reviews, they show the FR and at the bottom the kind on bass, the FR just tells you how loud is each frequency sound

How are the ath-a900x? Do they have good isolation?
>>53876218
By new K702, do you mean the chinese model? Because I have a chinese K702 and it sounds great. I can't say if the pads are the same as the K702 Annie, but my K702 are far from being bass-shy and treble-boosted.
>>53882593
>but my K702 are far from being bass-shy and treble-boosted.
You must have a faulty pair in that case.
>>53882504
>a900x
Those are the A700X and the isolation is okay. Not the best if you're listening at higher volumes.
>>53882620
No, probably you're just shitposting.
>>53882639
No because that is literally the sound signature of the K702 and if yours sound different then they are faulty.
>>53880668
I have like 10 pairs of headphones all with different sound sigs, i mostly prefer neutral or warm for those long fatiguing listening sessions.

They sound just fine from my phone but I need to push the volume high. No distortion, no hiss and essentially identical sound regardless of where I plug them into. Lack of good EQ and low maximum SPL are limiting on my phone tho.
>unamped
Clearly not.
>>53882302
What do you think "solid bass" or "grainy treble" are exactly if not parts of the magnitude response? You can safely ignore GE's graphs below step response if they even still include that. CSD and the subjective sliders at the bottom are nearly worthless.
>>53882635
And isolation from outside noice?
>>53882749
Oh yeah its very noice.
>>53882766
>noice
i meant noise, i really need outside noise
>>53880285
>What the best headphone here
Either Q701/K7XX/K702 or DT880 600 ohm. They should cost below 300$, which is the highest price you should pay for a headphone. More expensive headphone are just audiophile snobbery, because their price/performance ratio is absolutely horrendous compared to the headphones I mentioned in the beginning. The only sensible upgrade would be a pair of monitor speakers like the JBL lsr305, which are cheaper than the HD600 and which can easily throw both the HD600 and any other headphone out of the window.

I usually like Beyerdynamic headphones, first came in contact with the brand in college, most teachers seemed to enjoy it, the oldest beyer i've tested was a DT100 from the 70's, it was mostly mid-centric which i find very weird comming from beyerdynamic, i supose either the newer ones have being updated to have v-shapped signature or that those were so old there was something wrong with the drivers, probably the second option.
About my own Beyer, comming from the MDR V6 the DT880 was quite an upgrade imho, mine is in need of new pads though.
>>53882350
Cool, always wanted to test a A700X, how do you like it?
Do you like any other Sony headphones besides 7506?

So far thinking of the sennheiser game one with a creative soundblaster e5
I also need some help choosing a dac/amp don't know if this is the place for that though.

I want good sound stage
>Past headphones
Sennheiser HD 558
I'm looking for a long-term replacement for my 558s. Something I can put my money towards.
The black ones cut off when positioned to the right on my s7 edge, the white one is the one that came with my phone what's the difference between these Jack's and why does the black one cut off?
>>53884985
If you like the sound signature of Sens then HD 600 and lack of sub-bass, if you want something different DT 880
How can i maximize the quality of sound my headphones receive? I have no amp and mediocre headphones.
Does player matter? Any recommendations?
Would there be a difference playing music from phone or PC? (Realtek sound card).
>>53884111
AD900X or HD558, both are very comfortable and don't need amplification, AD900X has a brighter signature, HD558 has a warmer signature.
>>53884985
If you liked the HD558 you will probably like the HD600.
O2 or magni 2 for amp, both are very good.
>>53884111
HD 558
It's the comfiest pair of headphones I've ever worn and they have a good sound stage for go. Shits durable too.

Hello I have Logitech G230 as headset cheap enough for me and not looking to buy headset + mic combo in near future.
But what I need is earbuds for my phone but I would be using them now and then on my computer too when not feeling like wearing the heavy headset all the time.
So Is piston 3 the way to go or some other earbuds?
should I get the audiotehnica m20x or m30x? It would be for listening music
>monitoring your mix with Beats
>>53885605
I have the m20 they rock I couldn't imagine the m30's being much better
Dt990 or hd598?
>>53885979
depends you want bass or neutral?
also HD598SE is cheaper right now
>>53885605
I've tested the m30, warm signature, not bad imo, depends on the price though.
>>53885979
>V-Shapped signature
>Mid-centric/warm signature
Pic you poison, they are both very good options.
Any TH02 up in here? Loving these
>>53885935
thanks
>>53886187
the m30's are about 35 dollars more, i can afford it but i don't know if i will even be able to feel the difference
>>53886341
Sorry Anon, haven't tested the m20 to give you a subjective comparison. How much do the cost?
What are the main differences between the he 650 and had 700? They both roughly look the same, with the 700 being quieter.
>>53886444
what
>>53886452
Hd* fucking autocorrect.
>>53886542
Well to start, they are polar opposites and HD 700 is terribad. It's only merit is the comfort.
