I sold a guy a used pair of HD 600's once. To show off their durability, I yelled "SNAP INTO A SLIMJIM!!!" and bent that shit as hard as my nerdy little noodle arms could. To my surprise, it actually snapped in half. He still bought it for 50% off.

Kek. Then I guess I can't convince you

I don't give a shit about money, I assumed you were talking about incredibly expensive headphones. I've owned nearly all the good headphones before the 600/650 interms of price. Are you actually going to say what headphones are better, or just be an absolute faggot like most people with no argument on here tend to do.

Noontec Zoro HD and some cheap IEMs. The Zoros sound breddy gud, but fuck they hurt my ears if I wear them for any amount of time. Can't get them to seal for shit so I lose out on dat bass which kills me.

I've asked for a recommendation multiple times but as a different "samefag" with almost the same specifications in the past few threads to collect the most info.

And with that, I've been recommended all of these:
beyerdynamic DT-770 80 Ohms
beyerdynamic DT-250 250 Ohms
Sennheiser HD 598
Sennheiser HD 380 Pro
Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7

What's the best way to connect an AMP to a DAC? Laptop->DAC->Amp->Headphones

I get static from current Laptop->Amp->headphones setup, but looking at DACs, I see the small ones only output to 3.5. Could I use the RCA->3.5 cable from the amp and plug into the DAC 3.5 output? Stupid question I know.

380's have boosted bass, MSR7 might be the best of the bunch you've mentioned, but they're slightly bright.
If you want pure neutrality, DT250 is probably the way to go.
>>
>>60586389
I dunno man, I think the HD600 is the best headphone I've heard besides the ER4SR.

I use an equalized HD800 because it's superior for comfort. The HD800's stock sound signature is literal dogshit.
>>
>>60589079
You could just clip a mic on to the DT770 cable, they're the best value closed under $300.
Otherwise, go for CB-1 and get the status flat cable with a mic, or any 3.5 cable with a mic.
They're real comfy stock, neutralish with boosted bass.

Best for closed neutral are DT250 and Sony MDR-V6.

DT250 on the warm side of neutral, the Sonys are on the bright side of neutral.

The HD380 is garbage. I'm in a foul mood today. I'd get the DT250 because the velours last long unlike the Sonys, there might be a variation in channel balance among units, I've had two pairs, one is perfect, the other sounds like shit.

Get the 80 ohm DT250 you dumb animu faggot.

I had the 250 ohm which I returned because the channel balance was shit, the 80 ohm is perfect that I own.

I know this is by no means a conclusive test but I think the 80 ohm might be the more consistent of the two.

Also you need a tiny screwdriver to set up the headphones.

It's $180 for a relatively irrelevant piece of tech. If I can get away with spending $100 or less for a simple one to remove source distortion and static, I'd rather go that route.

There isn't really anything better even into the +$1000 territory. You've been conditioned to think that more expensive headphones are better by the marketers but it really isn't, what matters is the individual headphone's sound quality. Even so, I see nothing wrong with someone buying some $30 chink shit and using EQ to make it sound to their tastes or more neutral.

Status OB1 is literally better than the HD600 in THD and only requires a simple +5db bump from 1000hz to 8000hz to make the sound signature almost exactly the same. The HD600 is literally a meme.
>>
>>60589386
There are measurements of the frequency response but it isn't as clear cut as something like video card benchmarks where you easily see which card performs the best. What is good ultimately depends on your preferences.

>>60590084
Something bad like their influence. Uncomfortable, bulky housings with a boring bassy sound signature.

>>60591724
>A bit bright and sibilant, otherwise solid choice.
I've been comparing this with the 770s

And I've read that the 770 suffers from shitty mids, should I just grab the 880s for my vocal preference or do you have any other recommendations?
>>
These discussions about which headphone is better than the other are retarded. You are arguing with your own preferences. Who gives a shit if you like HD 600? Who gives a shit if you don't?

Please stop shilling your favorite pair of anything into every single rec just because you liked it.

Please stop being idiots who judge headphones based on their technology or price point.

>>60591769
Talking about THD without any metric to assess its audibility is pointless. With the information we get now the OB1 might have more audible distortion or it might not. We don't know.

Is it safe for headphones to be used loud?
I'm not talking about ear safety, but about the driver safety itself, to not fuck it up, like in old cars where all the speakers are torn to shit
I usually use my HD558 at 20 or 30 on the PC settings, while the youtube, players, etc are at 100, which I know isn't harmful in any way, it just sounds loud enough for me to hear everything I want but won't make me deaf to outside world (I like being aware of my surroundings, can't understand the people who have now idea what's happening around them when they have their closed back headphones turned to max)
But so I was wondering, if I do turn my headphones to 100 on PC and 100 on everything else too, would it be damaging to the headphones themselves ?

Looks like an excellent price to me. I don't recommend buying an E10K for it. If you can't afford a decent amp+dac right now, get just the HD600 and start saving up.

>>60592561
Crazy good price.
>>
>>60592600
No. As other anon suggested, either buy hd600 and decent dac/amp or don't buy it at all and get one later. You want to spend at least $100 on dac/amp, otherwise there is very little point. Only times you want cheaper dac/amp is when the only reason for getting one is static noise from onboard, and your headphones don't actually require or profit from getting one.
If that is not affordable to you get cheaper headphones, such as AKG k612/702/712/7xx depending on your sound signature preferences.
Actually there is very little difference between good $100 headphones and hd600.
Anyway if you want budget hd600 get k612 pro, very different sound signature (balanced, medium sound stage). hd600 is objectively better though so if you think you will end up craving more then get it straight away.

If you play runescape and you say endgame is level 60 then you're being a faggot. And if you tell people level 99 isn't the fucking endgame because it's too hard to get there or its not reasonable then you're being a fucking noob faggot.

So if you say hd600 is the endgame because anything better has an unreasonable price then you're just a fucker who can't afford anything better. The definition of endgame is not the best price to quality ratio, it's the maximum quality disregarding the price. So stop redefining shit to feel like you're fucking accomplished you piece of shit.
>>
>>60593088
Well, actually there are but that's more like side benefits.
What you need most is amp that can power headphones properly, everything else is optional. Some dac/amps have added benefit of swapable operational amps and there are also tube amps. Those things are very often used to change sound signature of output.
For instance in theory if you have dark headphones you can bring it to be more neutral by pairing it with bright source. But this is all bonus staff, almost in audiophool territory. Most of the time it doesn't matter and majority of people on /g/ just want source that color sound in any way, and lets headphones sound like engineers wanted them to. Also if needed most of the time you can do any balancing with good equalizer, such as equalizer apo with peace gui.

Memes aside. Having quality headphones improved my quality of life. $60 is not a lot of money.

This article basically sums up what we know and understand about distortion audibility:

http://www.audioholics.com/loudspeaker-design/audibility-of-distortion-at-bass/total-harmonic-distortion-thd

The plots you see measured on IF sum up all harmonics into one value at a certain frequency. If you read the article you should understand why is summing the harmonics poor from perception point of view. Audibility is complex to gauge even with masking thresholds known against a sine tone and with the full distortion spectra at that frequency visible.
>>
>>60598689
So basically all measurements out there are useless. Nice. I guess we have to go by subjective experiences now.
>>
>>60597445
There isn't an objective metric to tell something like that and there will never be as both value and preference are subjective.

>>60597274
We don't know. You'd need to tell how much voltage your gear provides and how loud you want the headphones to be. 250 Ohm version is less sensitive than those others so the likelihood that you need more amplification(=volume) is higher.

>>60597209
Yes. They are all over the place. Specify a model.

>>60598049
A lot of them aren't that bassy. None adhere to the equal loudness contour.

>>60598775
That's not what it says.
>>
>>60598828
It basically says that THD plots are useless except in cases like Shure. FR plots are also useless because they're reliant on volume.
>>
So I brought the HD650.
>you should have brought the HD600 instead
I wanted well behaved drivers with lowish distortion (high volume headroom) and a treble smooth enough to EQ the headphones easily. Both fit the bill but I find the paint job on the HD600 puke inducing and they cost nearly the same in my country.

On your desk, the HD650 looks somewhat plasticky and brittle. Most lower tier AKGs look much more robust. Quite disappointing desu. Once on your head they don’t clamp as hard as some are saying here. After a few minutes you won’t even notice they’re on your head unless you’re a pussy.

Without EQ, they sound decent for unEQed headphones, but that's all. Better than most but not great either. I’m coming from speakers EQed to the Harman house curve so I’m usually unimpressed by most unEQed stuff now. Two things are problematic: low bass is inexistent, and mid-highs are too forward thanks to the bullshit diffuse field response. The "veil" is nowhere to be heard though. The "mud" qualifier is highly exaggerated but I understand why some might prefer the HD600.

EQing wasn’t that simple. I measured them and got results very similar to most amateur measurements. I then EQed them to the Harman headphones house curve, with mixed results. Then listening to sine tones, I found that the spike around 5KHz sounded worse than measurements would make it seem, but the 3.5-4KHz range was in fact recessed and didn’t need trimming down. Or maybe my ears are fucked up. Anyway, factoring those findings into EQ settings, results are excellent. Balance is very natural and speaker-like, and they don’t crumble at all at higher volumes. Also soundstage is vast and precise.

tldr: great for my needs, would buy again. But if you're rich and don't want to/can't EQ, you might want to consider something from Audeze or Focal instead.
>>
>>60590254
There is HD600/650 but their bass extension won't go low. There is also Audioquest night hawk/owl with smooth, smooth mids and excellent sub bass but rolled off highs. You can get them for 350$ on amazon, maybe try them out, boost highs and if you don't like it use Amazon's return policy.

>>60598905
THD is still nice to have with harmonics laid out individually. You can't instantly make any claims on audibility but it can help with weeding out truly poor performers. We need to know the loudness level here as the amount of distortion heavily depends on it. It really just comes down to understanding what the measurements do and can tell.

FR is far more from useless. The equal loudness contour does not factor in in the measurements. It's inherent to everything we hear. We don't need to mind it or equalize to it. Our brains do that filtering for us automatically. The Fletcher-Munson curves are measured with sine tones. They would take a different shape if they were to be collected from noise for example.

It's true that large loudness differences change the tonality. Turn down the volume and you'll notice how the bass gradually disappears. Sound goes from full and extended to mid-centric and bright. Music is usually within 80-100 dB where bass isn't challenging to hear.

>mid-highs are too forward thanks to the bullshit diffuse field response
HD 650 lacks the gain required for DF but it matches really well to Harman. The ear resonance compensation is very important. Maybe you are more sensitive to that range more than most are.
>>
>>60599268
>measurements do and can tell.
Which is not a lot. Barely anyone measures harmonics separately and you can't directly compare a measurement from one person to another because their measuring rigs may be inherently different. Basically, THD is "if it doesn't look like shure, it's probably fine". So not very useful.

>We don't need to mind it or equalize to it. Our brains do that filtering for us automatically.
>It's true that large loudness differences change the tonality.
>Music is usually within 80-100 dB where bass isn't challenging to hear.
So again, tonality and FR perception is altered by listening volume. If someone listens at exclusively 65db, their perception is going to be quite different from someone who listens exclusively at 85db. So FR isn't much use either, except for determining general tonality and highlighting large flaws.

Do people unironically pay more then 20$ for earbuds? My brother had SE112 and I told him the cable will fuck up in a month.
MFW they lasted 2 weeks and it was not even the cable that fucked up.

Change the horrible stock pleather pads with velour ones and put one of those treble dampening circle thingies between the driver and the pads or some toilet paper.
>>
>>60601910
it will change the sound, for the better? i'm inclined to say no
>>
Following up on the HD600 no bass nonsense, as a simple experiment, I tried to eq the bass up a little (just fb2k's eq, raise bass then auto-level).

Nigger bass. And the rest of the spectrum doesn't seem to suffer for it.

10/10. HD600 masterrace.

Will play with it for a little more, then back to normal. Flat is justice.
>>
>>60602247
You get bass quantity, but not quality. Have you listened to a real planar before? Even the HE400i will do, but the LCD-2 or HE560 are much better.
>>
>>60602257
LCD-2 is on the shopping list. I'll get one of these eventually, just to fuck around. I'm curious about planars, but I sadly know nobody who owns any as to to loan them to me.

I'm not a bass head, but the HD600 is a huge improvement in bass quality over my HD598 and HD380 Pro.
>>
>>60602247
If you have the headroom you can add retard levels of bass to the HD600 and most open headphones.
>>60602257
Fuck off to head-fi.
>>
>>60602297
You loose so much sound stage compared to HD 598. Also I find HD 598 to be much better with EQ than HD 600 with EQ.
>>
>>60602297
>HD598 and HD380 Pro.
HD600 is better than these in almost every way, no wonder why. I've heard a couple of planars and the bass is just different, nicer in my opinion.

>>60602315
You first, retard.
>>
>>60602186
>Change the horrible stock pleather pads with velours
Check.
>put one of those treble dampening circle thing between the driver
Check though there wasn't much of a difference with and without them in so I took them out. What I did do was take the thin felt cover behind the driver (the side with the holes) and that made a bit of a difference in soundstage which I kept. The treble didnt bother me to begin with. EQ in more bass below 50Hz and down whats bloated above 50Hz and they,re pretty good.
>>
>>60602321
I own both and the only thing HD 600 has over HD 598 is slightly better lows and less sound leak.
>>
>>60602316
>You loose so much sound stage compared to HD 598
When I got my HD598, it was my first open set, and I liked the soundstage gimmick.
I've been on HD600 for a while now and I don't miss the soundstage at all. It doesn't have the somewhat annoying "right on your head" feel the HD380 and every closed I tried do seem to have to some extend. It feels just right.
>>
>>60602337
If you haven't used the HD598 for a while, try them back.
I did briefly back and forth the first couple days or so and they didn't feel so different. But now, after months, the HD598 somehow do sound so shit.
>>
>>60602321
Fuck off you planar bass meme spouting idiot.

Planar bass isn't real. It's just frequency response at play.
>>
>>60602374
Prove your claim.
>>
>>60602370
Jaw dropped @ the bass line @ idolm@ster - next life @ slightly bass-bumped eq HD600.
>>
>>60602370
DESU it really depends on what you are listening to. I'd take my HD 598 for classical music and gaming over my HD 600 any day. However if I listen to something more bass intensive like metal I prefer going with my HD 600. Also the lack of strong bass on HD 598 makes them really nice for long listening sessions since lows tire my ears really fast, but that's just me.
>>
>>60602497
>for classical
I understand the gaming, but why classical?
>>
>>60602497
I prefer my HD600 for everything at this point. HD598 does imho make a meal of classical, metal, idolm@ster/lovelive/otheridoltrash's female voices, and anime and video game OSTs.
As this is what I listen to most of the time, I'm not using HD598 much anymore, except for nostalgia reasons.
>>
rec receiver for <750?
wanna plug my headphones n speakers in
>>
>>60602497
Just try something like METHOD_METAFALICA or EXEC_OVER_METHOD_SUBLIMATION (particularly part 3) on HD600 vs HD598.
I used to think HD598 were good, but when compared to HD600 they just throw some odd grain thing all over the midrange and add some coloring in the overall which seem to just hide the detail, make everything sound the same, and I have a hard time tolerating anymore.
The imaging on the HD600 just outclasses the HD598.
>>
>>60602523
Just EQ the HD598 you faggot.

Literally everything everyone describes about sound quality in this thread goes back to frequency response.
>>
>>60602584
I've played with EQ on the HD598 before. This is why I'm surprised HD600 seems to have no problem whatsoever with EQ. The HD598 is fucking mud if you try to stretch it with EQ.
>>
>>60602517
They simply sound better to me. Must be that super tight and 0 treble bass which is perfect for classical instriments.
>>
>>60602611
upping the lows a bit till 128 hz and fixing that bump at 8k actually changes a lot for HD 598
>>
>>60602612
I find the neutrality of the HD600 to fit classical much better than the HD598. I'm enjoying my old favourites so much more now.
This is particularly true whenever strings are involved. The strings on the HD600 are simply above anything I've heard before, save live performances. It's as if I can touch the strings themselves and feel their texture directly.
>>
>>60602584
Care to back up that bold claim? Or the one I asked you to earlier?

if I was to get Koss PortaPro, which model should I get? There's like 6000 different ones; 2.0, 3.0, D-master, Classic, Premium Original, Red Hot, Ice cool, KTC, Pro Premium, iPorta pro..

I can't find proper articles comparing them..

what would be a worth upgrade from HD595? power wont be a limiting factor.
Open.
Budget 400-800€
>>
>>60603626
There's only 3 models to consider: The standard $40 Blue/Black and the 2 Special Edition colors (Beige, Gold/Black) that have inline controls. There's other colors you can get if you're willing to import if you want variety.
>>
>>60603682
Sound signature? Headphone usage?
>>
>>60603682
if you like Sennheisers, get HD600 or HD650's with proper amp+dac. They are worth it and will last for years and years.

>>60603699
Is there any difference between them? Marketing blurb is saying the KTC model is most upgraded or some shit.
>>
>>60603699
oh yeah, also I can get other colors like the red, black, white from where I live. I just don't get what the difference is between 2.0 and 3.0 and all the other fucking things. Few of them are 15hz-25khz and others 20hz-25khz, but somehow the 3.0 are from 20hz.. And the KTC are 15hz, just like classic and 2.0..
>>
>>60603716
The KTC and Special Editions (Beige, Black/Gold) are the same other than colors. The other models are just different colors like Red Hot, Ice Cool, Darth, etc.
>>
>>60602611
You're shit at EQing then.

I do like sennheisers very much. Are 650 much better than 600? How about hd 700?
>>
>>60603756
I see. I guess the mic is the difference between the few, though the 20hz->15hz thing is somewhat weird.

>>60603773
Go to bed kiddo, you're getting cranky.
>>
>>60603801
Don't care you faggot. He should prove his statement here:
>>60602257

But then again, he can't because he's a buzzword spouting head-fi faggot memer with zero knowledge of audio and solely uses his shitty ears and faulty brain to make judgements.
>>
>>60603841
People say the 600's are more neutral, but I've tried them both and love the 650's. I've been using them for the past 7 years. The 700's aren't really my thing, they sounded.. odd. These have a nice, lightly warm, yet neutral sound. It's a definite upgrade from the 598's.

>>60603844
All the PortaPros measure the same anyways. Just depends on what colors you want and whether you want a mic or not.

You're literally using more buzzwords than the entirety of Reddit and Head-Fi. Please shut up if you can't prove yourself correct.

good to know! Thanks for the info. I haven't ever owned them myself, and I honestly really dislike how IEM's feel. I've tried them ~12 years ago, and remember them sounding rather nice. I was just wondering if they'd done anything to them since, but guess not. The price is just so fucking good..
>>
>>60603846
I didn't make a claim, I just shared my personal experiences. That should be obvious to any non-autists. Now prove your claim.

It's an unproven statement.
How about this?

Some anon who can only spew "muh Head-Fi"
And this?

It's some anon asking for proof. Too bad he never got his proof back.

What would he the best in ear for riding a motorcycle. It has to be low profile cause I don't want the foam of my helmet pushing it into the depths of my brain and as close to total noise cancelation as possible so I don't go deaf from wind noise. Budget is 300 dollaridoos. Thanks
