I bought these on a whim. Not the greatest sound but decent enough, fairly portable, cable breaks away and can be attached on either side and has a built in mic with surprisingly decent sound quality, and rock fucking solid build quality. 8/10 would buy again if on sale.

commentme up

Good headphones are must, but what about the other parts of audio set up? Im currently using only my xonar essence stx soundcard on extra high gain 300~600 ohms, would buying external amplifier improve sound?

>>45634362
if the headphones require it then yes.

They're Planar, which I don't know too much about. And I know they're a heavily modified and custom tuned version of the Fostex T50rp. I'm not quite sure how you can turn a driver from a $130 headphone and "tune" it and the enclosure to make it worth $700. One review compared it to the Audizene LCD-2, and I think the review claimed the Fostex to be a bit more bass heavy. Which is a sound I'd prefer.

Anyone know?

Kek I don't even know how I typed that.

Here's my 2 cents worth...

For years I was using Etymotic ER6 They're great but they always took a few minutes of tugging my ears to seat properly. A few days ago I bought Klipsch Image X5. They sound great and are easy to seat. I'll be using the Klipsch when away from now on.

I also bought a Burson Soloist SL amp. Out of the box it was a bit dry and lifeless. Now, after 24 hours of use it sounds great. Using it with Hifiman HE-500. Not as comfortable as my 20 year old Sennheiser HD-580 but I like the sound and it's not that uncomfortable.

>>45634412
AFAIK nobody knows anything about them. Fostex isn't as popular as other big audio companies, but if the TH500 is anything like their other audio products, they'll be good quality at a slight price premium.

>>45634725
I just hope they have enough badd for my liking. I listen to a lot of electronics and want something beautiful, comfy, and bassy, that is good quality. I looked at the HD 700's for a while.

I have 60 dollars to spend on headphones. What should I get? I heard sonys are good.

>>45634806
V-Moda Crossfade LP, pretty good if you like a lot of bass. Often on sale on Amazon for around that price.

>>45634144

lol i have these, using them right now, they're fucking great other than the lack of bass, but for the price you cant do better.


So I'm looking at getting a pair of headphones around $150, am willing to spend a little more or a little less. I had a pair of ATH50s a year ago and liked how they sounded and everything, but i could only wear them for like 1 or 2 hours at at a time because they were like fucking painful headclamps. I've been hearing that the ATH50x headphones are built with comfort in mind, is this true? Should i give them a second chance? Any other headphones i should look at around that price range?

>>45635933
Look up frequency response graphs for your cans and compensate for their shortcomings. It's fairly simple.

>>45635689
Oh look, it's the AT IEM shill complaining about shills.

>>45636003
The scale of the graphs is weird to me because they're exponential.

For HD202 should
2500,0 Hz +1db
5000,0 Hz +2db
20000,0 Hz +2db
be all right?

>>45636196
Your hearing isn't linear you fucking retard.

>>45636196
There's no "right" EQ settings. Fiddle with it until it sounds good to you. Most audiophiles tend to say neutral is good but I much prefer warmer, slightly bassier sound. I don't EQ my HD 650 but when I use "bright" cans I EQ the highs down a bit.

Guys, AKG 550 or Shure SRH840?

>>45635832
The cable had a short near the ear piece, but that was from 7 montsh of abuse that would destroy most iems in a couple of days, but i got a new cable which was pretty cheap and got here fast from cd.japan
>>45636033
But this is the only AT product i own, i usually buy iems, try them out and then sell them to buy a different pair.

I want to buy some MDR V6s but I'm not sure if they're better than the ATH M50s, or for that matter the MDR 7506.
Price in Bongland is basically the same for both of them so it's not an issue.

>>45636476
Actually it's not that dumb. IEMs are very, very sensitive to the source's impedance and many sources also have very audible hiss. A good source aka a well designed amplifier can be dead silent even when you have IEMs plugged in and the low output impedance will make the IEMs perform as good as they can. My O2 with 1x gain is really great for my Shure SE535s if I want to have isolation at home while listening to stuff from my computer.

Now if you were to plug the IEMs into some tube amp with tubes in the output or an AV receiver/integrated amp with output impedance north of 100 ohms, that would be fucking retarded.

is this true? should i invest in an asus xonar card just for headphone out?

>>45637140
Isolation is the Etymotic specialty, especially if at that price. The fit is deep and new mk5 seems somewhat improved over the older mc5.

>>45636737
Dynamic IEMs show little impedance issues. Balanced armatures do change for better or worse, especially with crossovers.

I only have limited experience with splitters, used them exactly once and then never again. I also wanted to conncet headphones and speakers at the same time but the splitter introduced massive channel imbalance. If I were you I would either simply accept that only one device can be plugged in at a time or look for a dac that offers two outputs (which would hopefully work better than a splitter). I think the O2+ODAC can use the line-in as a line-out when the amp part of it is turned off, but I can't guarantee that (don't have an O2+ODAC yet).

Never get a gaming headset. Just don't. It should be said as sort of a mantra. It won't even offer all that good game sound quality for the price, much less all the bells and whistles its marketing blurbs promise. In general, for gaming, you probably just want to get good open back headphones (you are looking for a nice soundstage to allow for positioning), and a cheap mic seperately. For the money you will spend on such you will get much better sound in and out of game, than if you were to buy gaming garbage.

I understand that, but if headphones that don't use it as a marketing point can utilize it with a DAC, is the fact that gaming headsets use it as a marketing point mean that they can somehow utilize it without any extra components?

A headphone stand for ATH-M50s? Why? they aren't expensive and not very good to look at.

>>45640530
Thanks, anon. I'll look into it.

Anyone here have the audio technica ad500x / 700x?

What is your opinion of them?

>>45640491
Headset = Headphones (either mono or stereo) with a Microphone attached

Headphones = two speakers and something connecting the two, bigger than earbuds

Buy a nice headphone and an antlion modmic if you want to game... or if you have a headphone with the detachable cord, purchase V-Moda's Headset kit, the mic's on the wire closest to your ear and comes down in a 3 ring TRS (with splitter for desktop audio + mic

>>45640635
Is this some kind of troll where someone answers a question that I didn't ask?

>>45640573
Dunno, figured it'd be nice like a spot to hold them on a desk or whatever... (it was this or a physical polandball from shapeways, *i'm really fucking bad and new at buying presents for people*)

>>45640653

welcome to the cool kids club

did anyone on here get a HD650 on amazon while they were $300? they're already starting to creep back up in price.

>>45636371
not enough beyersremorse

>>45641130
can you explain to me what exactly the wyrd does? Im a bit confused after reading the product info and if I need one after buying the modi uber

>>45640491
I know Sennheiser's "gaming" headset came with a USB sound card/dac dongle. Cheap piece o' junk. That's probably what all of these do.

>>45640650
No, you don't need to use duct tape to shut her up. I sharp blow to the temple, or sizeable amount of knockout drugs can silent the nagging wife just as well.

>>45641171
cleans up the audio some more. I didn't use to use the wyrd, but I built a new pc and I was getting some interference from my gpu, so I got it, and it fixed it completely. The sound changes are minimal.

>>45636581
Just bought a pair of these for my gf. How did I do?
Anyone have any experience with them?

>>45641279
the 558 is the same thing but cheaper. Still theyre chinese made headphones but still sound decent for the price and don't need an amp either. If you want to truely hear the sennheiser sound get the HD600 or 650 though

>>45634015
Is there a sub-$200 set of closed headphones that don't require an amp and aren't the v6/derivatives of it or the ath-m50s? Had a pair of v6's and the left ear went out after very little wear, and I'm skeptical to rebuy, but the m50s seem very overpriced for what they provide.

>>45641403
Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro

>>45641470
I looked into those when doing research a while back, but they seemed very form>function, and many people had issues with the sound. Did that hold for you?

>>45641490
I went with DT990 because I only use them at home and wanted open headphones. But I would have gotten the C.O.P. for the adjustable open/closed soundstage, removable cable, and portability.

>>45641470
>>45641490
also, after having briefly looked them up, what the hell is with the adjustable "openness"? Shouldn't a set of headphones be designed for a target output, and have drivers and architecture designed around that?

>>45641534
yeah, I'm going with dt880 250 ohm +magni/modi stack for my dorm, this is a portable pair, hence the no amp/closed/relatively cheap. And I mostly care about the sound, v6s/m50s are both very portable, and the m50s have a removable cable

>>45641534
r u kill

>>45641552
look into the new modi 2 uber and magni 2 uber, much better buy

>>45641750
i thought dec 17 was the ship date?

>>45641717
I just have nothing more to add. Look up reviews to decide if the adjustable soundstage is a gimmick or not, but reviews seem positive. In reality, for portability, I'd recommend JayBird BlueBuds X earbuds (bluetooth, isolates sound, good battery life)

>>45641538
Controls the bass port, affects bass level. Lets a little noise in, but the isolation stays mostly the same. Most everything else stays the same as well.

>>45641781
Yeah, you're right, I read it wrong. Got a bit too excited about them too I guess.

>>45641538
From what I've been told, it doesn't open them up in the sense of a wider sound stage, but rather just mellows out the bass (which is um, more "urban...." than that of the M50x's) a tad.

>>45641534
Alternatively, how likely are open headphones to actually get damaged by humidity? Senn 558's look pretty great for price/performance, but I'm terrified of wrecking my headphones inadvertently by being outside

I mean, you go to /g/ if you care about headphones, and then immediately leave and go to /mu/ if you want to talk about music. People might have really nice systems that they spend thousands of dollars on, but they also tend to have the taste of 14 year old autists.
