i think this thing will outlive me.


>>45340744
you just put in a new battery, not like you re-bought a brand new one. at least these were made to last... Apple may have understood it was a marketing mistake.

could someone post the old grey haired audiophile looking content with all his audio gear please?

Try harder my friend

>>45340744
Should I buy the mass drop k702s or whatever? Are they comfy and open?Not much of an audiophile but never really tried super high end headphones, currently just using senheiser pc320s and they seem okay. I imagine I would need a DAC as well what would be the reasonable one to get with said headphones?

Best over ear portable headphones that DON'T require an amp for under 100 with extreme Black Friday discounts?

Fucking bitch GF set a 100 dollar limit.

Moxpad X3

>>45344914
I'm assuming that picture is not OP's.

>>45340902
that's gotta be the most hideous portable music player ever crafted

I get that it's going for a retro feel but retro and aesthetically pleasing are not exclusive

>>45345897

>>45341091
live dangerously and use it with beats.

>>45345407
err to add to this. They are "On ear" not "around ear" this is going to make them uncomfy as fuck isnt it?

Here's a question, if I upgrade my Polk Monitor 30s to B&W 600 Series 685 S2s, would my current Polk Audio PSW111 Subwoofer be appropriate running with them? Or should I upgrade it? If so, why?

>there are people on this board, this site, the internet, and the world that think FLAC actually sounds better than 320kbps MP3
>there are people that spend more than 30 dollars on a DAC and think there's actually an audible difference, and think it was a good purchase because they're mentally deficient
>there are people that buy overpriced amps for their headphones
>there are people that buy tube amps and are paying to distort their sound
So much wrong with audiophiles

>>45347654
Nice IEM's
Compared to the ear dildo's I really do prefer these ones sound, and they are so much more comfortable

>>45348036
I don't notice the difference immediately, but I have some mp3 files from 5 years ago that now sound like shit in comparison to the youtube compressed sound. Deterioration DOES exist.

>>45348142
Yeah yeah you gotta be careful with the rotational velodensity

>>45347963
oh mann I know them feels these are my second pair and I feel they both do it and thought I was crazy.

What is HONESTLY the best player for mp3s with at least a 20 hour playback battery life?

>>45348193
How much would that shit cost
I'd set a $100 limit for Christmas and shit. Just tired of using my phone

>>45348157

>>45348384
I see you learned a new word :^)
Maybe I'm a dumbass, but quit taking every single chance to use 'autist' when it's not even applicable in this situation, it makes you look like a newfag or child that finally has the freedom to swear. If someone is being pedantic or failing to communicate a point, that is true autism.

>>45348436
Believing files deteriorate over time and degrade in sound quality is literally autistic

>>45346924
Waste of money

>>45348466
Believing lossless audio isn't a thing when it's documented by everybody, and taught when you take audio classes for being a sound engineer is literal retardation.
Shut the fuck up about things you don't know.

>>45348656

Tarkan sells them for 18USD but you could probably get the same thing off Ali/DX or some shit for cents.

>>45349243
the problem was finding one that didn't cost 50 dollars shipping
I said fuck it and bought a 32gb CF, the shipping was cheap so it was the best option at the time
>>45349268
I didn't knew about ali at the time
I had good experience with amazon so I wanted to only buy from there, I just bought some KZ earphones from there since there aren't anyway on amazon, I'll see if I like shopping from there, I hope it doesn't take too long to get here

Implying any of you fucking dipshits know anything about digital audio or these products. Having an audiophile discussion on this board is like talking to a wall that just spouts shit. Look at the first posts. Each one is an insult to the previous post. Just ask these things from professional forums not some anonymous neckbeards whose experience you have no idea of. You have no idea if they are just talking shit or they dont know shit about the topic and are telling lies unknowingly.>>45340902

Nice. I had the 1st 3 in your collection. I still have the 4th gen one, I am OP. Dunno what happened to my other 2. Got lot through moving countries over the years.

>>45347611
Hello, I have no idea about audio stuff, but how can it go directly to the speakers, if it's just a tuner without an amp?

Sup guys, neophyth here, it's fucking interesting, what can i get to have decent sound ?
