Closed On-ear Acme... Something. I have no fucking clue what my current headphones are exactly, as I got them for free.

I barely ever listen to music, and only need headphones for vidya and movies. I play a lot of first person shooters, so I am often advertised surround sound headsets. I would rather not buy a headset over headphones.

>>51491190
Oh, I meant Over-ear, not on-ear. Over-ear is preferred.

>paying more than 50 dollars for Headphones.

Do people, who don't work in the audio business, do this?

>>51491290
Yes. It makes more sense than you little baiting shitposter think.
The actual problem is when people spend more than 300$ for headphones and more than 150$ for IEMs. That's past the point of diminishing return.

>>51491324
I'm not baiting dude, it just seems odd. At like 200 dollars, why not get an audio system with sub woofers and stuff?

/g/uys i really need to know, i am looking for decent quality earbuds but there is a problem. From past experiences I seem to have fitment issues with such earphones. Right now I am looking at a pair with comply tips. Would the tips solve my fitment and overall comfort issues? I guess small highly portable earbuds is a must for me, I am just affraid to spend some cash and try them.

>>51491340
Being a speakerfag is baiting, anon.

>>51491340
You think we don't have those? Besides you don't get a pair of decent speakers for that money. You aren't even getting really good headphones for that money either.

>>51491170
how?

>>51491324
The point of diminishing returns start at like $30, past that you're paying for 'tuning' because at $30 the drivers are very capable and can be easily tuned with EQ.

No. KSC75s sound better than fake Beats. If it's fake or not.

I don't think there's anyone who disagrees with the notion that past 300 you aren't really getting much for your money but up to that point there are models which get progressively better if you choose right.

>>51491448
Cheapest speakers I'd consider would be the JBL LSR305s. You can cop something great used for a very little money but that's just half luck.

>>51491458
idk

>>51491439
Sonically, that only applies to IEMs, diminishing returns goes on higher for headphones.

>>51491365
Thanks! I will look into this.

>>51491536
>>51491570
I'd disagree about that. For very little money you get drivers that are well extended which you can shape with EQ.

The single largest factor in headphone sound quality is frequency response.

I am completely new to headphones, I'm sick of shitty gaming headsets and plan on buying a decent pair of headphones on Black Friday / Christmas. I will be using these headphones for a combination of listening and [spoiler]gaming[/spoiler] so I'm not entirely sure what is good for both at my price range. I've heard the AD900x are a good set with a great sound stage. Tried out the HD598 at a local store and liked that sounds however it seemed a bit dark. So far I have been suggested K612, HD598, and AD900X. Any help/advice would be appreciated, thank you!

Generally speaking, who make a better product, Koss or Audio-Technica?

>The single largest factor in headphone sound quality is frequency response.
And nobody disagrees with that. It's clear that the highest fidelity frequency response from headphones is to be found around that 300 mark yet past that point it's just coloration of different kind. And the headphones around that price point also show consistently lower levels of distortion as a lot of the cheaper, "lower end" options. While the audibility of that might be questionable, it's still something they do better than the cheaper models. Obviously best bang for the buck is long gone but there's really no denying that you aren't getting a better product if you just pay more than 30. EQ helps at any price point.

>>51491446
Yes actually. They're okay, just pay mind to the frequency response graphs they provide as well as the descriptions. Don't get anything super bassy and you should be good.

>>51491465
wew. go for it desu. for that price they're fine

>>51491609
>The single largest factor in headphone sound quality is frequency response.
Usually, but-
>For very little money you get drivers that are well extended which you can shape with EQ.
Stable response is not there for most cheap headphones, even if they have frequency extension. In other words, EQ doesn't work so well. Non-linear products may be a very considerable factor if you pick something really bad, these are usually considered broken whatever the price point.
We may be talking about a logarithmic slope of diminishing returns, but the stability of the magnitude response and frequency extension would be something to pay for. Just a bit more for a passable open backed headphone, not too much to ask for.

EQ is always your friend, no matter what you are listening with.

I need comfy phones which i could use for long hours without getting sweaty ears or feeling pain on ears/head. Also, i think i definetally need them to be closed, over-ear type.

The ones i think fit the bill for is takstar pro80 and hd6000. Any other suggestions? Cheaper ofc is better.

Samson SR950 also caught my eyes, it seems to be pretty good, but what about isolation?

And the last phones Philips SHL3565BK, but i kinda have doubts about it sound quality and isolation as well.

So whats the best i can get?

I just received my pair of TMA-2 last Saturday (as a replacement for TMA-1 with broken headband, they have since improved the durability, pic related). I got the DJ preset (S02) and they sound the same as my TMA-1 DJ, which is good. They are DARK, but not boomy/bassy like Beats and the like. As a fan of various kinds of electronic music and psych rock, stoner/doom metal I love them, but they're not for every genre (at least the S02 without EQ). If you're looking for something more universal, check out the S01, it's the most neutral and also the cheapest speaker unit.

Why even bother. Closed just means you are giving up sound quality for mild isolation. Have fun with your style cans.

Grado never updates their drivers, they're old and have made no improvement. It's why they are getting left behind.

>>51492801
The trick to Grado headphones is that the more you spend on them the better they sound. All the Grado headphones use the same driver and have the same signature but John Grado took into account placebo effect and expectation bias, precisely why the flagship models sound so much better than an identical SR60

The HF5 is a perennially popular set. It has its flaws, but it still a standby.

>Why is everyone going crazy over the 7xx Massdrop Limited edition
It's a bassier K702, with some similarities to 712. I personally never liked the 701 series than much

>>51493016
It really depends on what you're after from your IEMs.

HF5 have great isolation and are mostly neutral but have the high mids pushed forward to make up for the rolled off trebles. The bass is a bit lacking in my opinion.

What music do you listen to?

>>51492517
Buy a few pairs of Xiaomi Piston 3s. They're great for the price and you won't mind if they die on you.

Alternatively Sony have a pair of wireless, waterproof IEMs which aren't too pricey.

>>51493498
Anyone know if these are legit before I lay down the money for them?

>>51493916
This is why it's better to get the M50Xs over the X2s because the drivers on the X2s are only 5mm bigger which isn't that huge a difference and you are pay twice as much for it. Also any closed can will have better bass extension than open headphones. I have no idea why people think M50Xs are memes when they're dollar per dollar the best bang for your buck.

Fiio EX1(Dunu Titan 1) has low isolation. Sounds pretty nice for the most part. Bass is broadly lifted, midrange isn't too far from DF flat, treble is slightly elevated(canal resonance).
SE215 was pretty bass heavy, but the high isolation is attractive. Over the ear fit. If that's you're thing, go ahead.

The Ety's are considered neutral as it comes.

As you can see the Shure's have a bass boost and the classic Shure mid forward sound signature. They're quite dark so you may have to boost your trebles via equaliser, especially with older DnB.

The bass will still be crisp, clear, and have great definition, but don't expect much in the way of Sub bass since the BA drivers aren't big enough to push huge amounts of air.

Can someone tell me if the LC2s are a huge improvement over cheaper planars like the 400i?

The Piston 3 don't isolate enough for me, and the T20 are out of my budget, but thanks for the tips.

>>51493963
I've read the RE-400 have reliability issues due to their poor build quality, so I've excluded them from the list.

>>51494785
What's your budget?

Are they "okay"?
Anyone has them?

I'm looking for something on the budget I can fit in my pocket, over-the-ear headphones are cumbersome, and because I'm a med student I always carry metric shitton of stuff in my backpack.

>>51494780
The way Zeos put it it was an incredible improvement and are the best he's heard. Then again he only talks in superlatives like hifiguy528.

>>51495012
Not the guy you replied to but, in the few minutes of the video I could actually stand, he said the LCD2 w/fazor were the planar equivalent to the HD600.

>>51494831
In term of budget, the HF5 hits the upper limit.

>>51494849
Are there measurements for those?

>>51495012
There must be a reason for the RE-400 to be so cheap...

>>51495012
Shures in general are quite dark compared to a lot of cheaper earphones with V shaped FR. I was just trying to prepare anon for that. I wouldn't say they were booming though, and they definitely have the mids forward regardless of how strong the bass is. They're perfect for /bleep/. It's just a lot of DnB tracks are designed for horn tweeters which are completely imbalanced and so they tone down the trebles in the mastering.

Easily rectified with EQ.

Any reviews on the new Beyer 874's? V-shaped FR, no?

Beyer 874s were replaced by the 920s, which ha.org thinks is the best price-performance point of ANY shielded headphones. The Trillex GT-23's have a slightly noisier profile but they are another option for <$850.

Can't really recommend the Shure's at that pricepoint although that new Fenix line (I think the XX series) is pretty tempting

Tuned to be slightly warmer but also has better definition in the low end. Overall a more fun version of an already good IEM for the price. My only gripe is the colour though you might be into that sort of thing.

Good thing with these is that if you're careful you can change the filter In the nozzle to customise further.

Thank you based slick deals.

>>51491148

I'm surprised nobody brought up the In-ears Stage Diver series (especially the sd-2). they're really good, and will perfectly fit most of the ears around there and are made in germany.

They're not really made for audiophools, nothing fancy on the design side and no cryogenised directional cables. altho I find them pretty badass. They're more for intensive stage use and really good isolation but the 2 drivers design is heaven.

Not on the cheap side tho, around 400$

Your opinion is garbage because they are measurably neutral.

>>51492449
That's funny because I have the 9927 and hf5 with me and the hf5 has more bass. Yep, you read that right. The 9927 has strong treble and is quite diffuse field equalized but perceptibly I feel more bass impact from the hf5. hf5 also has rolled off treble, you probably didn't insert them properly which resulted in a poor seal.

>>51496059
>M50 was just him taking a contrary stance on something popular.
lolno he called them bad because they were bad

he also said the he-560 sounded too much like the he-400i for the extra cost to be justifiable

Yeah but it's still $700 vs $300, so the HE-560 have gone from just under double the price to a bit over double the price of the 400i

literally nothing wrong with this.

Do you hate him becuase he doesn't like your 880s?

>>51497280
>heavily recommended earphones have sharp spikes in their frequency response
Resonance of ear canal or poorly managed driver break up modes. Difficult to solve the canal problem without an acoustic damper, which also helps the modes.
>Does that not make them sound like shit?
It is audible, but a limitation of mechanical systems in general. It is also used to improve upon treble extension, which is limited in most balanced armatures. PEQ solves this exactly.

>>51496971
This guy honestly lost all credibility after this review, and he's so fucking vague about the sound. He thinks FIIO EO9K is actually a good source and can't even hear the difference between amps and dacs (or so he claims). Seriously wtf even I can hear differences easily yet all he can say is "uhh it makes sound" that's what most of his source videos come down to now, because he doesn't have a fucking clue about what he's taking about and can't get any of the stuff he had in the past to A B against and just wants more people to send him free shit and give him donations, so they can confirm their biases.

Most reviewers eventually turn sour like this but this guy did it in record time I must say. He's realized what most reviewers realize and just gives 85% positive reviews and makes sure to point out a flaw that doesn't matter so the confirmation babbys can tell themselves it's a real objective comparative review and then can shower him with money views and shit and then the gravy train of companies paying him for shit and giving him free stuff in mass comes rolling in. He falls into the reviewer greed trap saying everything is 5/5 and every video eventually sounds exactly the same. Ok, i'm done ranting.

Just bought a used HD800 off ebay for $1000AUD which I'm pretty sure was an amazing price. They arrived today and sound phenomenal.
They came with the Anax Mod 1.0, which is apparently some creatology foam inside the cups. It can be easily removed apparently, but I'm wondering if you guys think I should risk it or not?

I ran a big experiment a few years ago testing sound signatuers of different wood cups in tandem with an sr80i driver, and the results were actually quite impressive. theres a HUGE tonality difference from woods such as cherry, walnut, maple and others. I finally settled on my favorite being walnut, as it gave the drivers just a special presence when presenting different voices. I would recommend trying some black walnut cups on cheap grado drivers if you get the opportunity.

The main purpose of these is going to be noise isolation for playing to songs on my drumset. I need as little noise getting through as possible so i can hear the music and to keep myself from going deaf at 21. After that I'm gonna wear them while I'm walking around my house and outside. And probably for gaming too. Nothing that requires batteries if possible.

Hey is there a noticable sound quality difference with USB vs a normal audio jack?
I want to get some headphones but the ones i wanted had a usb and i heard someone say they sounded worse. I've used earbuds all my life, like 1 dollar ones, so anything on par-better than that is perfectly okay with me

I second this, my SR-850 is 95% as good as my HD600 and much better than my DT880. It's a bit bright however, but the balance from bass to treble is superb.

And it tells you nothing more than a basic FR chart will for headphones because impulse response is irrelevant.

The Powerbeats are ideal for me in terms of ergonomic design, but the price and quality are questionable for me. I also want to use them on my PC obviously. I can't seem to find a lot of good options for that shape of headphone.

I've never had any Headphones before, I usually hate razer for its OP stuff but a lot of good reviews about the Kraken 7.1 from a close friend and online, Already ordered it, How shit am i 1-10?

>>51501613
1. It's your money. Do what you want.

Is there a good wireless with decent bass and mid range that's at least similar in quality to Skullcandy Crushers? I love the Crusher but the wire really gets me down, and I don't wanna spend more than $100 on a pair of circumaural headphonesof the box type. Otherwise I'd just get the Hesh but my ears are not circle-shaped or small enough to fit inside.

Just picked up some sennheiser HD429s

>>51492449
thank god someone has realized the truth. etymotic rapes your ears in both sound and comfort. it's literally a cheap hearing-aid driver in a cheap plastic shell. and no it does not measure neutral despite what some might say with cherry-picked measurements. it has weak, rolled off bass, and an over-emphasis on upper mids. It is bright, not neutral.

HD558 is already $100 why the fuck does it matter

>>51502197
how does it compare to ath-im01s?

and is there really any point for someone to buy more earphones after their first $100 pair?

I went full Massdrop shill and got the CEntrance DACport and AKG K7XX

I having nothing to compare them to but I really like them. I also have no idea what I'm doing, but I still really like them.

>>51502294
Well, there are IEM that manage headstage better than headphone.

>>51501613
>7.1 headphones

You only have two ears, dummy

This is dumb but I need it for my understanding.

So a DAC turns the digital signal into a analogue signal, and because after the transform occurs the amplitude of the converted signal is low, an amp will increase the signal to an audible level?

And for the good stuff, you buy DAC and amp separately?

>>51493016
>wants actual knowledge and honest impressions from people who actually own headphones
>/hpg/
bad idea

>>51498724
I doubt you can reliably tell decent amps apart but I admit it's possible. there is no way you can tell dacs apart.

>>51502351
>and because after the transform occurs the amplitude of the converted signal is low, an amp will increase the signal to an audible level?

It's mostly because higher end gear is higher impedance meaning it needs more power to drive it

>>51502370
>is higher impedance meaning it needs more power to drive it
Wrong.

>>51502385
Higher impedance = higher resistance. Higher resistance means you need more power.

Prove me wrong asshat

>>51497048
shp9500 is like a brighter 598 with worse build quality and pads. lacking in bass, elevated highs that many would find fatiguing. still, it does have very good sound quality and detail, but at the now elevated price I would say don't get it. you could just get a 558 and do the foam mod for near the same price.

m40x is very balanced/neutral for a closed headphone at that price. leans ever so slightly towards the bass and the heft is there if you want to boost it but all things considered it is very neutral sounding and quite detailed. lower overall sound quality and detail than say the v6 but it's also more balanced. comfort is average, headband can cause a hot spot. new pads helps this and you're gonna want to get them anyways, stock pads are not very good. build is good, cups fold and pivot and the cable is nice.

>>51502262
Because once the senn midrange offer is selling for 100 actual they release a new unit and jack the price back up to 250.

>>51502411
Higher resistance means you need more voltage and less current.

Did you flunk all your Physics classes or have you not done them yet because you're 13?

>>51499317
I would say 558. but be aware they're bass light, most open headphones are. if you want an open headphone with elevated bass portapro, 668b, 681evo, and X2 are your best choices. the 558/598 is extremely comfortable, more than the philips and the pads are much better. if you want to go closed and have a similar level of comfort go for the xpt100.

>budget
under 50 for a 3ds xl, would go with porta pros or the klipsch but I don't want them to break, or have to bend them

Kek, that's fine, if you've nothing to compare them to you're going to be blown away. The dacport is also pretty good it just gets hot after using it for a while

HD 558 is the most neutral headphone you can get for that budget and it's very comfy.

>>51503715
I've been looking into the DT 990 PRO right now. I was wondering if they're ok. I don't really want an other Sennheiser

>>51503757
dt 990 pro are not neutral and are not meant for musical enjoyment
