How's dt770? I'm thinking I need a nice closed earphones for indoor listening.
MDrv6 is superamazing but it's too portable and has annoying coil wire.
>>55226661
Just bought a pair of 650's off amazon for $287. Not the cheapest but they retail for waaay more than that. I've had these 555s since like 2009
Skullcandy Jib In-ear Buds. Worth every penny.

I'm actually jealous. How much were they?
>>55226823
Not him but if he paid more than 1200 shipped for brand new he just got nicked.
>>55226783
Retail is pretty much pointless since you can get headphones for even sometimes 50% cheaper on amazon.
Plus I'm still mad I needed an optical cable pronto and the only optical they had was a 30 quid DOUBLE TRIPLE SUPER SILVER SHIELDED optical cable.
I'm surprised they're not selling magical crystal stones from the caucasus that turn mp3 into wav
>>55226746
the DT770s have a LOT of bass, its well controlled and tight but its very deep and abundant, absolutely awesome cans for metal and electronic, however i would look elsewhere (or just seriously consider open cans) if you like acoustic instruments.
>>55226823
11240 sek ( about $1300 ).
>>55226833
I could buy them for less than $1000 and still have to pay more due to import taxes.
>>55226802
how would you describe their sound?
>>55226851
Thanks.
I all ready have nice balanced open cans, just making plans for the future.
>>55226850
>30 quid DOUBLE TRIPLE SUPER SILVER SHIELDED optical cable
>>55226869
in that case as far as closed cans go i think you would have a very hard time beating the DT770 250 ohms within their price range.
>>55226865
The sound stage is shit, but treble and bass are well controlled and crisp. Your typical fostex housesound.
Headfi calls this a closed can with open back soundstage.
>mfw i paid $300 for heavily moded $50 headphones
>>55226864
Yea that's the thing, you get fucked in shipping or taxes.
If you are considering it, get them second hand.
TTVJ had them for 1200 shipped a while back
>>55226900
thanks for the quick response, ive been thinking about picking up a pair, would you purchase again?
>ad900x's
I wanted to get a pair of 650's or dt990 but i didnt have the buget for an amp
>>55226924
what is your budget?
for 140 ish for a pair, they are your "baby" orthodynamic headphones. I would have just bought the factory ones and modded them myself. I had the chance to audition EL-8 a week ago, it is literally perfection.
>>55226924
What are you looking for in cans?
MDR v6 is an amazing pair of closed headphones, senn 558 and dt770. Unless you go full out most cans after that are disminishing returns
>>55227049
Be aware, that DT770 will require an amp since 250ohm is the version to get on all Beyers
AKG K702
Had them a couple of years now and they're still great
ITT: Morons who waste hundreds of dollars on studio headphones made for mixing, to use them for casual music listening.
>>55227249
Well, some of us want to hear the whole song.
But I guess beats and 128kbs mp3 from youtube is good enough for some people.
It seems weird asking, seeing the prices of some of the headphones in this thread, but does anyone know any decent headphones around the price of £100?
>>55227361
Hahahahahahahahahahaha pleb hahahahaha
>£100
>decent
Hahahahahahahaha...omg im never gonna have sex in my life :(
>>55227361
I got MDR v6' from around the same price.
They sound bit harsh at first but they'll burn in soon enough. You can eq the higher frequencies out later. They do sound amazing and are very detailed. DT 770 is around the same price as well, but require amping, Senn 558 is the same price as well and comes with comfpy velour. ATH m50 is around 130 quid, but /g/entoos complain it's bassy.
Honestly pick whatever as long as it's from quality producers and check some reviews on headfi or whatever
grado sr60i
not bad
>>55227361
look into the Sennheiser HD 25-SP II. I really like them.
>>55227361
Stax SR-009 is a nice cheap way to get into headphones. It doesn't require amping either so you're in for a ride.
>>55227438
>>55227497
I know I'm an idiot, but what is amping.
>tfw you've been climbing up the walls for the past 4-5 days because it feels like your headphones' drivers aren't perfectly matched anymore, but not so drastically fucked as to make the shift plain and obvious
Is this even possible?
The left headphone just sounds off, like there's not enough happening in it, and the bass hits slightly to the right of center(but only slightly, it's not a huge shift) instead of having that central position where it hits right in the middle of your head. It's really fucking with me.
And I'm totally clueless when it comes to these sorts of things, which I assume is obvious from my vocabulary.
I've done that Audiocheck headphones test thing and there really does seem to be an imbalance.
>>55227537
Don't worry, friend.
Acting like you don't know anything when getting into a new area is the correct thing to do, as compared to idiots like
>>55227249
Amping is amplifying. What it basically does is it increases the volume of sound. It takes an analog signal and cranks up the volume. Some headphones are quiet with regular soundcards/smartphones/mp3 players. That is when they are "hard to drive" which means you require an amp to run them.
I might as well explain DAC's, which is digital analogue converter. Basically the audio is in a digital format, which is ones and zeroes. Digital signal does not deteriorate, it either is or isn't so all "super shielded specops tic tac" digital cables are snake oil. In order for headphones to play this music it needs to be converted to analogue, which happens in DAC. DAC's and analogue cables are suspectable to electric interference so shielding for them actually matters. You can easily spot it when you plug in headphones to a shitty soundcard and move the mouse around and click and scroll, which causes clearly audible interference.
Keep in mind all headphones need DAC's, which is why wireless headphones a shit because for the price they have to have good DAC's and wireless adapters and amplifiers built in.
>>55227578
You can take a straw, shield it with silver thread woven by elves (them being virgins also clears up treble but you have a bass problem, so save money) and blow into the damaged driver. That should balance it out

Not exactly audiophile fare but I'm not rich and they were perfectly decent before this happened.
>>55227732
Oh cool k270 ripoffs. How are they?
Basically what i'd do is
a) not be a tard and ask some bullshit anon tards how to solve a delicate problem, that might cost more cause headphones aren't cheap and ask other forums/google
b)disassemble and clean it
c)if doesn't work the "balance" feature is exacly just for that. Same rule as with eq applies: Never add, only subtract.
Don't worry about it somehow making headphones worse.
EQ and balance are part of getting things right.
Got those for the road. Thought they were great 2 years ago, they broke, I got another pair, and they're meh. It's bearable, but meh.
>>55227858
And these at my place, gorgeous.
>>55224423
>calling others plebs
Admit your cans are inferior.
Also Momentums are great.
>>55227788
They've been more than alright for what I got them for, at least until this happened.
Thanks for the tips in any case, I'll keep them in mind. I sent an email about the whole thing to the store I got them from and I'm not too keen on opening them up since they're still within their warranty period, but I'll try fucking around with the balance and EQ for the time being.
Maybe I'm obsessing, but it's fun to just hold them and look at them, on the rare occasion that they're off my head.

>>55229194
they cost £3 to make. That's not a joke, that's genuinely how much it costs. You are paying over 95% of the cost for advertising and the brand
>>55229776
DT 770 250 ohm with a SMSL SD-793II amp/dac
they are really comfy and sound quality is very good
Sennheiser Hd-650's for open
- At home, for mixing etc. and general use, comfy and great.
Akg K-550 for closed
- On the go, for recording and stuff, comfy for being closed unlike most closed cans. Good enough but nothing amazing.
Audio Technica IM-02 for IEM
- On the go, iPhone and whatnot. Very good, stock tips a bit bleh though. Quite mid forward and flat, which I like.
Going to add higher end cans at some point this year if I can afford it, probably the HD-800's or Audeze LCD-X. Also need to add some on ears for a cheap reference and just throwing in my bag every day, since my Porta Pro's broke for the third time. Might replace the K-550's at some point if Focal releases Spirit Pro's with bigger pads. My ears are big and small headphones hurt them :(
I have a pair of Grado SR80 but has anyone tried the earphones from Etymotic research?
I've been thinking of buying some for just wearing on train journeys and running.
>>55230066
They are said to be uncomfortable, fragile and overall not very good.

Koss PortaPros
DT770s 250 Ohms
I used to not understand the criticisms that the DT770s got for being treble cannons, but after attempting to come back to them after 6 months of using my HD600s, they absolutely raped my fucking ears.
If anybody needs a super budget pair of decent headphones, please pick up the PortaPros. Super comfy and light, great bass, portable, great design overall. If I had to be stuck using my PortaPros for the rest of my life, I would not be that upset. The only problem is that you look like a fag, but that's why I own a decent pair of IEMs.
I'm buying my first "real" headphones and I've come to the decision to buy the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro's.
I'm wondering that should I get the 32Ω or the 80Ω. My headphones are plugged to my motherboard without an amp or my phone.
>tfw too poor to afford some of these great headphones
>>55231836
The 32 Ohms version is fucking trash and the 250 Ohms version plus a decent amp will equal the same price of the 80 Ohm version. So stop being a bitchboy and pick up the 250 Ohms version and a Magni or O2 or something.
>>55231819
portapros are best budget headphone by far. Also lifetime warranty for some reason.

>tfw i miss highschool
>>55224193
I've got ms1, they're great but I had to resolder cables in the cans and the right one plays significantly louder, maybe I've just noticed it now because of test files but it bums me out.
anyone looking for cheap in-ears, just take my word and try the soundmagic e10s. they punch wayyy beyond their price tag. can be had for £25-30 i think, maybe less, and they're the best in-ears i've used (and i've used some much more expensive ones). i've turned all my friends onto them and they love them.

Looking for an upgrade soon, though. Stuck between DT770, Meme-50x, HD558 and Grado SR80e
Best iems under $120 coming through. Also have comfy 558s for the house.
>>55232944
As I've never heard a pair of those I couldn't tell you, but what I can say is that compared to every other headphone I've heard in this price range the soundstage on these makes it sound like you're in the room with the music. For example, when I was first listening to OPN's Replica (the song) on these and the weird siren-esque sound came in I thought it was from another room and didn't realize it was part of the song until I listened to it again.
>>55233073
the only info i can find is in moon runes. Does that have two drivers?
>>55233206
Yeah, two drivers. They're decidedly v shaped, but that combined possibly with the angled exit gives them a better soundstage to me than my 558s. They're also more detailed sounding to me. The only issue I could see for some is the fit. They're comfy for me all day, but the support on the back could be an issue for some. I can't say for sure. Went with these over the 200/200ltd for lack of bass port and more isolation, and am very pleased.
got em for like 90$ or something, was worth for the price
>>55233467
interesting. can't stand that v shaped modern sound though. My mc5's may not be the best, but they are flat as a board
also, fuck you captcha i don't know anything about sushi
>>55224301
this isn't cringe it all. this is actually pretty good
i have a pair of grados sr80s and sennheiser momentums
they're very nice, both of them
>>55232317
You can mod the HD558s to sound like these, also everyone around you can hear what youre listening to, not ideal for use other than home use
>>55234683
i honestly like the color. i dont use full size headphones in public either, i have earbuds for that.
What's the difference between the ATH M50 vs ATH M50X? I'm got a deal for the M50 for 70€. Should I go for it?
>>55234736
i think the main difference is the detachable cable, other than that i believe the actual headphones are the same
>>55234755
558 and even 518s have the same detachable cable.
>>55234782

>>55227105
AKG K702 are top. Picked up a pair early this year and 3 months later I still catch myself at work looking forward to coming home and putting them on. The quality is incredible. I'd love to A/B any supposedly better headphones, I have a hard time imagining the differences being anything more than superficial.
I was using the same Sony MDR-7506s for 11 years which I still keep around for public use. They sound fine but really don't even compare.

stop pulling shit out of your ass, 90% of iems die in 2 weeks with the abuse i put them through and the IM70 is just over a year old and is flawless.
no other iem i had can say that.
I use a pair of shure se500s mostly. Good combination of quality and portability. They're a bit dated now, I guess, but they sound as good as the day I got them.
>>55235602
Thanks m8. The a&h xone xd2-53 headphones were intended for dj's so sound cancancelation sucks but got them for a good deal about three years ago could not pass them up.
>>55235551
no they were discontinued
>>55234736
Get the affordable one. You can easily mod on detachable cable yourself for 5 dollars or less.
>>55224301
Same. Great headphones, I use them daily for listening, mixing and monitoring recordings. They do it all for a good price. I know an audio engineer who surrounds himself with expensive audio gear and swears by them.
>>55230066
I have a pair of HF5s and I like them, they aren't uncomfortable like that other guy said, I haven't had any problem with the build since I always keep them in the pouch when I'm not using them. The highs are a little bit too much at times but overall they're really good.

I've got the fantastic Fidelio X2s which I use for general listening with my hifi.
I also have a pair of modded Grado SR80i which don't get much use since I got the X2s and a pair of AKG K240s which are only really used now when watching videos on my laptop, which is still quite a lot.
>>55243411
No
>>55243484
It really depends. What sound sig are you looking for?
>>55243607
Shure 215 probably. There's better sounding, but those should be better for running vs fxt100/adh im70 I imagine.
>>55243669
Ideally something as balanced as possible I suppose. Suggestions anon, cheaper the better?
>>55243797
Sony mdr v6/7506. Should be able to get them for 65
>>55243669
The Shure's aren't bad, not sure which model I have it's been so long, but the cord has dryrotted through where it bend over the ear and I had to glue both sides back on because the plastic breaks if you pull it out your ear too hard. Excellent isolation though.
>>55235571

I'm more of a monitors user, though

I heard they only cost $18 to make, no one is overreacting when they say its just a brand that you're buying
