Ay

Is a Q1 a good amp/DAC? I have kind of a shitty mobo and I always plugged my DT770 straight into the jack.

>>52637402
9/10
Great for running and exercise shit, but they get a little loose pretty easily when running. I have tried the other size earbuds, but maybe I just have weird earholes.

>>52637474
If you liked the sound from your mobo. It won't change that much as your mobo can drive your headphone.

>>52637527
Well I ordered a K612 recently also and since it's over a hundred ohms I figured the amp was necessary
Well I guess I'll see. Thank based amazon prime for getting literally everything I order to me in like 2 days

>>52637499
>Great for running and exercise shit

Which one?

>>52637499
>Great for running and exercise shit
>y get a little loose pretty easily when running

This is the one thing they are not supposed to do.

i want to get a pair of headphones since my headset is pretty much breaking down and i don't want a pair with a built in microphone, so im getting a pair of headphones with a standalone mic

comfort is a major thing since it's not unheard of for me to sit for 10 hours straight, if work allows it, since it's also going to mainly be used for gaming so is music quality not the highest priority (but i don't want something that sounds like absolute shit) as long as it delivers a crisp and clear sound, i also want them to be pretty sturdy, something that i can expect to last atleast a few years.

So I ended up trying the HD 558 and the k612 back to back and I *massively* preferred the k612s. Simultaneously better bass and less recessed mids and highs.

I always thought I preferred warm sound signatures, guess not.

>>52637402
Really garbage mids and overblown bass. Pisstons sound better even thought they are one of the most V shaped iems.

>>52637411
Impressive, very nice

>>52637764
>I always thought I preferred warm sound signatures, guess not.

but k612 is more warm than 558 so you do like it

>>52637851

The hell? From what I read the k612s were described as more neutral verging on slightly bright compared to the HD 558.

Maybe its just the "vielheiser" effect, but the HD 558s sounded muddy, with obviously recessed mids and highs compared to the k612, which also seems to have more bass to boot.

As I noted when i requested purchase advice, I've previously used IEMs exclusively and currently have Westone W20s for portable use 9which I enjoy immensely incidentally).

>>52637767
What if I have non autistic ears?

Does anyone have a Meizu hd50? I want confirmation on whether the cushions go on or around the ear.

>>52637948
>>52637764
Yes you're right, K612 are usually described as bright compared to the HD558. Now you know that a slightly enhanced treble isn't necessarily worse than a recessed treble, like Sennshills mostly say when they call their headphones "natural-sounding", compared to the "horrible artificial-sounding" AKG.

>>52639007
Yes, M50x is still commonly recommended in its price range if you want bassy without the DT770 treble, but it needs replacement pads to be comfy. The thing is that the previous M50 was a much better value proposition when you could find it for $90 competing with the V6.

>>52638765
K612 Pro, HD558, HD600, DT880 250 ohm.

I listen to Death Grips, Björk and hippie music through Apple headphones when I'm bored. I have the physical CD's I don't like .mp3's or .mp etc that aren't lossless formats. Great sound over Bluetooth too, and owning the disc is cool.

Getting a bit sick of hearing this. My mobo makes my headphones sound muffled and overly bassy.

That depends entirely on the mobo and the implementation of the audio codec there. Impossible to generalize in either way.

>>52637581
>Well I ordered a K612 recently also and since it's over a hundred ohms I figured the amp was necessary
It does work like that but K612 is fairly insensitive so an amplifier is recommended in most cases.

It's been a month and Philips still hasn't called me back to let me know they've got some new shp-9500s in stock so I can get a replacement.

>>52640270
From easiest to drive to the hardest to drive:

AD700X
HD 558
DT 880(250 Ohm)
AKG K702
DT 880(600 Ohm)

Any of them will do. HD 558 is closest to a diffuse field target and has the smoothest response. DT880 and K702 are both bright headphones but in a different way. AD700X is very bass light hence it too might also sound a bit bright.

>>52640270
For classical and easier to drive, the ATH-AD700x would easily be the best out of that bunch.

702 and DT880 are harder to drive, 558 is somewhat easier but like many Senns has an impedance spike that may make the bass sound bloated with a bad source.

I got a reply from Beyerdynamic.

My ears are 64mm long. Google tells me that is exactly how long the average male ear is.
The inner diameter of the ear pieces of my DT880 measure ~60mm.

What the fuck were they thinking? How is it a smart idea to make ear pieces that less than half of the male audience can comfortably wear, while the majority has the sitting press on the top and/or tip of the ear, which is just fucking uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, these cans are going back.

I heard it's a meme but not sure. I have an iPod Touch 6 as my main music source to power my K550's while inside and HD 7 DJ while outside

RHA MA750 or Yamaha EP-100? Mostly listen to to hiphop and have a very flexible budget. I only want IEMs as I have X2s for when im at home.

>>52640441
Either is good. I have the K702 at the moment.
I may pick up a pair of K712 or K7xx though.

It's a big diminishing return for the money. Schiit stack Ubers or an O2/odac will be around $300 each.

I came from on board audio ALC1150 and it made a difference for me. Different headphones then you though.

The placebo alone may be worth it. I don't mean that as a negative either. If you feel your current gear is limiting you then something like that will fix it.

>>52640486
Listen to them with the U-05 amp/DAC, they're a match made in heaven.

>>52640771
If it's loud enough and you're satisfied don't bother unless you really want peace of mind.

I believe the DGX has 10ohm output impedance which is not ideal for low imp phones but the HD600 has a high enough impedance not to worry about that.

>>52640824
Yes.

>>52640771
Amplifier/DAC checklist:

-Is it too quiet?
-Is the output impedance too high (fixable by equalization)?
-Is there noise/EMI or hiss to it?
-Does it sound distorted as you start to crank up the volume?
If the answer is no, don't get one.

Now, I personally did get O2+ODAC combo unit for the HD 650s but that was mostly for a peace of mind. They were loud enough without it and sounded great but I just wanted to make sure I am driving them sufficiently as well as have a unit that is discrete so I can drive any headphones or in-ears and not worry about the quality of whatever device I am driving them with.

>>52640848

Nice.

So in case anyone is wondering, a first generation FIIO X5 doesn't appear to have any trouble driving k612s on the high gain setting.

They are as loud as I'd like at 65% of max volume and don't sound any better amped through a FIIO e17 i had lying around.

>>52640844
>>52640880
>>52640902
So basically the whole "amps improve SQ" is just a headfi meme, and external amp/dacs are only required for volume or to get rid of noise?

>>52640614
I like the reviews I read about them, but I'm not quite convinced yet they're worth the extra 300 Euro over the K702.

>>52641522
>only required for volume or to get rid of noise?
That's SQ though. There are also amplifiers intentionally designed to color the sound by distortion and/or output impedance.

But yes an audio amplifier is just that; a device to amplify the signal in order to get sufficient volume in listening. A good amplifier does that without distorting, adding noise and while having a suitable output to drive a load like headphones or speakers.

>>52641522
A quality amp/dac like the ones I said earlier will be better for the THD than anything that's in a computer. Whether on board audio or sound card.

What it comes down to is if it's an improvement to you.

>>52641539
They go on sale sometimes. No idea about in Europe though.

The AKGs get a lot of hate here simply because some weeabs own them. Great headphones.

>>52641638
>That's SQ though

I hear people saying good amps "tighten up the bass" or "widen the soundstage" and a host of other shit. Is that true, or do amps only increase volume?

>>52641673
An under powered driver can have all sorts of problems. At the same time just because you deliver more power to the driver doesn't mean it'll be better.

It's all part of a chain.

>>52637648
Encore Rockmaster OE. New headphones that probably top everything in budget closed headphones category, including pro80. Detachable cable, pretty comfortable, swapable pads. Swap leather-like pads for included cloth pads, more comfortable and don't ruin sound. And buy some cable for it, stock one is only 1m long and kinda blows.

Well fuck.... I really wanted to get high quality IEM's but apparently my right ear canal is fucked. All the IEM's i try just keeps falling out of my right ear...(yet they all fit perfectly in my left.) I've tried the ones with the hook around the ear, and the ones with the little hook in the ear. And I've just ordered some cheap ones with the "triple flange" tips in hopes that, that shit fits properly.
Is there anything else I can try??

So how about those Fostex headphones on Massive Drop right now? Does the price mean they are really next-level audiophile stuff compared to what is usually talked about here?

>>52642089
You need some custom IEMs. You get an ear mold at an ear doctor and send it off, then they make an IEM tailored specifically for your ears. They're quite expensive though, at least $300 for the entry-level models, but they're all balanced armature designs so great sound quality.

Some examples are 1964ears and Jerry Harvey Audio.

>>52642141
yes

>>52641673
>I hear people saying good amps "tighten up the bass"
Damping of the transducer is a thing although its usually just poor voltage division causing problems with frequency response which leads people thinking "tighter bass response" instead of the source's inability to control the transducer.

Amplifiers and DACs affecting the soundstage is complete bs.

Amplifiers can alter the response but their main purpose is just to increase volume and do that cleanly. A dedicated headphone amplifier should also be quiet like you mentioned earlier, not exhibit any kind of audible distortion regardless of load or volume setting and generally have a potentiometer to adjust volume using voltage gain.

>>52642141
>next-level audiophile stuff
No such thing in this market really, especially not if you are thinking quality scales up with price. TH-x00 or whatever seems like a solid bassy closed headphone though.

>>52642174
>but they're all balanced armature designs so great sound quality.
There really isn't a correlation with sound quality and BA drivers and especially not with SQ and cIEMs.

>>52642226
BA drivers are definitely more detailed than dynamics. Source: I owned RE400s and IM02s and the IM02s are definitely more detailed. They're also colder/more sterile and suck the life out of the music too though.

>>52642702
Listing products you have owned or used is evidence of absolutely nothing. That's all just frequency response and distortion and nothing you can generalize for a transducer type used. RE-400 is a dark sounding IEM which definitely will make it sound less detailed. The most detailed/neutral IEMs do use BA drivers but there are a ton of BA driver IEMs with terrible performance. Many CIEMs for example. Especially those with huge amount of drivers stuffed in.

>>52642882
There is no correlation with price and sound quality once you get past the extreme budget options. The best performing gear does cost but at the same time there is a plethora of poor products above and below their prices.

>>52643241
well, there is no "matching." and tube amps are deprecated hardware that cause needless harmonic distortions of the 2nd order. of course, modern tube amps have really been able to tone it back, but theres no point in having one. you want a clean signal, and any tonal preference you have should be done with software eq, properly pre-amped. anything beyond that can be done with DSP

>>52643446
Imma go with your advice, friendo. Solid state it is.
>>52643417

>>52643503
you have no amp at all for you 650? a shame. look into the objective 2, definitely what you should consider.

Don't know if this is the right place to post but ill do it anyway. I sent my koss headphones in since they broke and they have a lifetime warrenty. But i think they got lost in the mail. And i lost my receipt. So is there any way that USPS can prove that i did ship it to koss. I paid with a debit car if that helps.

>>52642882
Once you get past the absolute pauper ranges, it looses any sort of close relation to sound. It only gets worse if you invoke free digital EQ.
Loudspeakers can be bit different, but then again, the biggest expenses you would pay for are in SPL and bass extension in one cabinet, which you can cheat with subs.

>>52643446
>that cause needless harmonic distortions of the 2nd order
Really, it is distortions of all types and order.
>modern tube amps have really been able to tone it back
In terms of distortion, the best designs were adequate in the 70's, if you forgive things like limited power capability or potentially weird FR.
>anything beyond that can be done with DSP
I would not know of any widespread motivation in the industry to do this. There is the deliberation emulation of gross non-linearity (distortion) from tube amps, synthesizers, and other gear as a musical choice, and the alternate drive to "wire with gain" for loudspeakers and reference use.
There is general difficulty in digitally emulating the highly distorted guitar amps well enough to sound identical, but the effect in a guitar amp is more more complicated and intricate than any circuit intended for reproduction. At least on paper, these effects could more easily be adapted to serve distortion simulation of consumer valve amps.

Well, I mean, everything repeated is a meme by definition. Meme is a very broadly reaching definition. "Women are a meme" is true, they have been repeated many times through birth. Same goes for men. Same goes for certain personality types and oh you could go on and on and never finish listing all the memes of our apparent reality.
Dinosaurs as a currently living organism is a dead meme. But not really because all present day birds are thought to be the only known living ancestors of that period! Fantastic!

I suppose my best course of action would be to try some on in a store. I do appreciate your input and the price of the recommendation is very reasonable.

If you can get a Stax lambda of any kind, the cups are HUEG. Inside of my normal bias measure 40x80mm. They also apply just about zero pressure to your head. You might be able to get it in your price range if you look for used. Maybe.

>>52644715
>but more unique or varied?
Yes.
It is also whitewashing how many are just bad and pricey.

There are more small vendors that try to break into the market with unique products at the higher end. They tend to lack economies of scale, even if by choice, and don't have as much ability to drive prices down. Higher prices would need to be justified by luxurious presentation and other unique values they can assert, which is niche a small outfit can squeeze itself into.

This assumes that there is a rational mindset to the consumer, instead of just pointing to the most expensive things labeled flagships and buying them, which is very much a thing.

>>52645713
its veiled, i wouldn't recommend veiled shit to anyone

>>52640339
Weren't they discontinued?

>>52645767
i mean, based on their measurements, by all means they should both sound veiled (if at all), but the 240 actually sounding more veiled, as its mid treble is even lower until about 8k, where the 240 is higher, and then theyre pretty much the same from 9-10k. perhaps the veiled sound comes from the 558s later rise to 3.5k?

>>52645807
I thought the K240 are basically overpriced Superluxes at this point since China did its thing and made a decent knockoff for a lower price.

The 558 is a tier up but obviously not available at ~$60, and it's not really worth breaking the budget to get it anyway.

in comparison to both the k240 and 558, the 681s are going to be very bright. on top of that though, the 681 are called semi open, but they leak almost no sound... theyre virtually closed. that said, they are very very good for their low cost. but i would not buy them if you are sensitive to treble.

its not just that theyre a warrior for a brand, but it seems that humans' tendency to find patterns simply results in a natural bias to lay claim that brands are simply bad, ok, or good. i dont think some of the people here are even -capable- of breaking free from it. us higher iq people discuss actual models, and the brand, transducer type, etc do not matter.

>>52645959
how am i not being reasonable? youre literally just saying "fuck off" over and over. im pretty sure no one in any field would call this reasonable. and by the way, im not admitting to being a sennshill by replying. i simply know that youre talking about me, because im the one thats presently recommending a product that happens to be from sennheiser. i guess being poor just increases the likelihood to display animosity toward those that dont speak for your brand, which lines up with the lower iq's likelihood to fight for or against specific brands in the first place, as i defined earlier with pattern recognition.

I got a pair of the active noise-cancelling Monster Inspirations for a gift, 2 Christmases ago. The housing is beginning to crack, and I've had to replace the cable because the left channel blew out, but everything else is still factory fresh.


I'm a regular anon who uses them for audiobooks/TMBG-style music on the bus, and for stealth-fapping when the roommates are home. I've recently come into about $3000 CAD - more or less $2100 in USD right now. (Fuck, the exchange rate is bad. $2,123.67.)

K702 is cold/neutral, HD600 is warm/neutral, but neither of them are closed and they need amping so they don't fit your needs. Maybe Fostex TH900 if you really don't care about price.

I have no idea what the quality is of audio books. High end headphones could be great or they could be terrible ranging from earsplitting to just a bad experience from the distortion being magnified.

If they're like most shitty recorded things then the treble is probably through the roof so both the AKG and Sennheisers would be terrible for that.

youre making a mistake. im the first guy to recommend the 600, and theyre simply more neutral. dont get me wrong, all the headphones we would argue about here are part of the upper tier of headphones. but after that, you have the people that really understand measurements, how audio resonates in the canal, etc. but hey, if you think you want more than less treble, get the k702. just know that the 600 has less, and is more neutral because of it, and over all, more neutral is always better. theres no point in coloring audio, and if you want to, use an eq

love how the mere mention of the word "newfag" sends the newfags into a projecting frenzy

While you guys are shitposting, what are you listening to?

Beats me. You play up the HD600 when the K702 has advantages over it. Both are neutral.

K702 has a way bigger sound stage.

inecreased treble has been known to give the impression of bigger soundstage, yes. high treble in particular is the correlation of what audiophiles would call "airyness"

The only Sennheiser that compares to AKG for sound stage is the HD800.

Not going into a treble argument. AKGs aren't even that high.

yes, really.

>>52646702
Seriously. People that even begin to compare AKGs to it have already lost the argument. Ridiculous.

>>52646690
everything youre saying correlates perfectly though. even the hd800 has higher treble, and yet again, you say it has good soundstage.

but you guys are getting ahead of yourselves. soundstage isnt real, aside from being open or closed. everything else is just the fr, as i said higher in treble and creation of airyness, tricking your brain into making things sound varying distances in the track.

>>52646722
they can't afford anything good so they just throw out ridiculous claims formed from baseless assumptions.

Seisenhuaer.

>>52646722

do you have a 980 ti as well anon

>>52646726
How can soundstage be real if our ears aren't real?

>>52646726
>>52646702
Playing games the soundstage matters a lot too me. Really helps immersion.

It's not a distance thing. It's how real it sounds. A small sound stage is very artificial sounding. Among other contributing factors.

yet another thread absolutely ruined by akg shills shitposting

For gaming it's rather:

if you think a 7970 is better than a 780ti, youre retarded. but you were already retarded because you think a k702 is more neutral than an hd600. so yet again, im able to find easy correlations

>>52646885
>of course not, i did not expect a response
Because you're an idiot who makes an argument by using terms like "meme". Go figure.

>>52646894
graphics card discussion in these threads would still be far more tolerable than akg weeaboos shoving their garbage down everyones throat. it's like they want everyone else to have the same pathetic audio experience they have.

>>52646517
> just know that the 600 has less, and is more neutral because of it, and over all, more neutral is always better. theres no point in coloring audio, and if you want to, use an eq
You're contradicting yourself with your own words. Neutral doesn't mean that it has recessed treble. Most people prefer the HD600 over the K702 because it has a smoother sound, but it's just a matter of personal preference. I personally find that the K702 peak adds a pleasant clarity.

>>52646865
lol no, on the other hand the 780 ti is a gimped piece of shit that is about 15% worse than a 290x

>>52646948
learn what a weeaboo is or fuck off.

>>52646906
i didnt mean to imply that because the hd600 had less than the 702, that it was recessed. and i have no problem with you liking the 702 more personally, either. just be careful in recommending it to others, because a lot of people, particularly older people, are very sensitive to it. studies show that as we get older, not only do we lose our hearing to higher treble, but the remaining treble that we can hear we become more sensitive to it, so they tend to like less. that is why im always careful about recommending anything above neutral for treble in a headphone. perhaps even, we could add age to the request form, but more studies would probably be need to be done to pinpoint ages more accurately

>all this gaymen gpu talk
Considering AMD GPUs are much more expensive than in US and top models are relatively hard to come by (usually out of stock), I'm not surprised why many people choose Nvidia instead. It's not a problem about performance, it's about logistic.

>>52646993
It should be spelled.

"I just came on in from reddit"

>>52647007
can you even come up with a half decent post anymore or have you used up all your pre-made shitposts?

>>52646953
Yes I can understand what you mean. Still I think that K702 is a good recommendation for someone wanting a neutral open headphone below 300€ for at least two reasons:
1) its infamous peak isn't even in the treble, it's more in the upper-mids, where most people's ears shouldn't be too sensitive
2) the peak isn't even as high or as fatiguing as people claim it to be.
But again, it all comes down to preferences.

>>52646993
>AKG not akg
>weaboo not weeaboo
>no punctuation

0/10
see me after class

The best headphones ever, without any doubt, is the K702. Not only is the sound stage amazing, it delivers important themes about society and has a lot of symbols about religion. Pisses me off that people don't understand how beautiful this headphone is and I just want to punch them in the face.

>>52647023

>>52647016
>ts infamous peak isn't even in the treble, it's more in the upper-mids, where most people's ears shouldn't be too sensitive
except this is where voices are and they're very obviously unnatural and tinny sounding as a result.

>>52647017
i don't see a 'weaboo' in that post. did you misquote yourself? punctuation and capitalization aren't spelling mistakes.

Why does this always happen?

>>52647023
>and I just want to punch them in the face.
a socially inept weeaboo would be too afraid to touch anyone let alone punch them. weak b8.

>>52646860
Did you like it? I have the normal bias and it's a little too bright for me (I use eq).

I'd say do it.

>>52647036
people need to learn in order to make changes necessary to make something stop happening. consider now for a moment that some people cannot learn beyond a certain point. wouldnt it make sense then, in this case, that you might find that "this always happens"?
