Is this worth the $78?

What can I expect from the 598Cs?

>>57681311
I was in the same dilemma and ordered the 598Cs because m40x is not discounted and costs 99€. If I don't like the sennheiser I can just return it but if I lose the discount I may regret it if they actually turn out to be good

>>57681479
only if it comes with a free hooker and a bottle of bullet rye

>>57681493
I doubt they will be good. They will probably just be like any other headphone in the $100 range.

>>57681479
No

What are the best deals today?

Why use the hd598 name then which would be bad for the company image if it is shit

I ordered the 598c but can someone explain why the m50x is considered shit without memeing? Some reviews really praise it but some say it's shit. I heard many people recommend m40x over them. I hope the 598c s turn out to be at least as decent as the m40x

>but they have more bass, more forward mids, and much more treble/brighter sound.
That roughly translates to "more everything" or "I blasted these at high volume".

I want to thank y'all, I'm still very happy with my Fidelio X2, it was recommended to me about a year ago in a /hpg/
In the meantime I also upgraded my basic speakers to a sweet Tannoy DC6 set, and I'll be picking up an upgrade for my creative sub next week, an REL Q200E. I really wonder how it'll sound.

>>57681952
probably means the 598s

>>57681972
There's barely anything of value there, take the impressions about how they sound like with a tiniest grain of salt. You can't really have more bass, mids and treble at the same time when making a comparison unless you had them playing at a much higher volume than the other headphone. What you can deduct is that they are at least decent but we'll see how they are once someone bothers to measure them. Preferably multiple sources and with a nice enough coupler to allow a decent comparison between other models.

I ordered the 598 Cs, we'll see how they are!

>>57682042
ok thx senpai

looking for Black Friday sales on over ear headphones

>>57681990
Subs are a nice way to get bass extension but low frequencies are tricky in rooms. Your next step, assuming you'll take one, is to get a microphone to measure the room response and correct it with EQ in parts which it can be used, think about positioning the loudspeakers and sub as well as possibly doing some simple acoustic treatment. All starts from measurements though, you can't really guestimate it. Of course there is gear to automate the process.

Guys ?!!

>>57682493
Yes. Thanks for making it obvious.

>>57682493
they'd probably be mediocre at their normal price point but for the sale price it is a steal and will sound great and you won't know what you're missing out on in the 600 or 650 anyway.

>>57682458
>>57682493
That is what I am afraid of because I'll probably like them anyway since the best headphones I owned are the cx300 II iems. I just want them to be headphones that are worth the price and overall good compared to the competition. I was thinking of getting m40x or m50x but these were too good to pass on

>>57682562
Let this be your new standard then. When you feel like it's time to upgrade to newer headphones you'll have a decent level of quality to reference back to.

Just bought some M40X for 88€
to replace pic related (`･ω･´)

Been using a gaymen headset for years, when I first started looking to upgrade and read about closed and open I figured my set (plantronics 780) was closed since I didn't see any holes or anything in the back. After trying the logitech 230 (returned, hated it) I was sorta stunned at the lack of sound, couldn't hear anything going on around me at all and more importantly I couldn't hear myself talk which was really creepy and weird

I'd like to get real headphones for a decent price, obviously the 598C are the really big sale of the day and was thinking of getting them but idk, am I gonna experience the same thing I did with the shitty logitech set? Is it going to be really hard to hear my own voice when I talk? - I play games with friends rather frequently and use VOIP a decent amount and not hearing what I'm saying was super strange and made me very self conscious

What's the sound level that comes out of open ear headphones? Are we talking people 10 feet away can hear it or do they have to be closer? I was worried at first I had been broadcasting porn sounds for years but then I realized when I take them off I can barely hear anything from the headset unless the audio level was ridiculously loud. Anyone know if these are sorta a basterdized version of open ear or am I just expecting open ear to be a lot louder then it actually is? The "people around you can hear what's going on" was sorta the big drawback to me and why when I read the descriptions I initially leaned far towards closed being better (before I realized I had been using opens for years). If its not actually very loud and people have to be right next to you to hear then I wouldn't mind it

TLDR - If I was creeped out by my first experience with closed will I not be able to stand the 598Cs? If so, what do I do since the open back version isn't on sale and I really don't want to spend that much money

>>57682592
Yeah I think they'll be decent and sennheiser is pulling this for publicity since their list price is 229€

>>57682541

Reposting this again because I didn't get an answer last time

I pretty much only listen to rock, electronic, and a bit of hip-hop.

Would the X2's be good for that?

I've been using MDR-V6's for years, they're great headphones, especially for the price. But, I'm looking for something more exciting and "fun" for music, while also being open back. I feel like I've narrowed it down to the X2's, unless there's something better for my preference under $300?

I've tried the M50X and 598's, they were both good headphones for certain things, but just not quite what I was looking for.

I'd like that, but I'm moving to a new place, and while the living room is very open and 80% of the available space, I have to share it with a roommate who also has a pretty big audio setup. So I can't just do my thing and set it up in the middle of the room. It's gonna be pretty basic around the tv, maybe move it a bit further from the wall than most people would do, but that's it.

>>57682667

X2 are a great upgrade, if you have an amp look for the k7xx and k712 for fun

Test the sound leakage of the ones you have with the cups on a ball or something, simulating the sound level as if it was on your head. It'll sound very different & most likely louder.

I should have picked up a used pair when everyone was returning them like crazy because of the glued earpads controversy. It dropped to like $142 on Amazon. I ordered them and for some reason chickened out and canceled them.

I'm just looking for something "fun" and that seems to be generally what people describe these as.

>>57682863

A part for the looks, they are the best sounding for that price range IMO, look for photos online they are big and have a large cable, you might try the mdr 1a or the ath msr7 for portable

yeah i just don't want to look lie an autismo on the bus, and since they're closed, i probably shouldn't worry about sound leakage. are these headphones easy to get a seal with? i've seen a couple of people complain about it

My main pair of headphones is a pair of AKG K240s. I absolutely love the way they sound, but I'm looking for something more portable to use in transit and would prefer a wireless headphone for that purpose. I have never owned another pair of AKG headphones so I don't know if the K240 is paradigmatic of AKG's sound signature or not.

be aware that v-shaped doesnt mean you will not hear the mids or warm doesnt mean no highs, most of the people have a problem either with the highs or the bass and most usually use v-shaped for fun and warm for relaxation

I don't think it's necessary for 598s, but it probably makes a bit of a difference. Do you at least have a decent soundcard?

I've always used a soundcard, but from what I understand, onboard audio on motherboards isn't too good. Some people will gripe about electromagnetic interference, but I don't know. My 598 Cs aren't here yet, anyway. FiiO E10K is probably good enough if you want something nicer.

>>57684459
>the high-end is really tapered off.
It is.
Most IEMs have issues above 10kHz, but these slope off below that. They are a dark sounding IEM, but if you like that, they fit decently, good isolation, decent accessories.
The 535 red is the same thing as the 535, but with a filter swap. You can do that at home.

Tell us more about what you want, what you can buy, where are you buying from and the like.

>>57684575
That has to be one of my most hated IEMs ever.

>>57684470
It's okay. I would sooner suggest the guides on the wiki. I happen to like the 200+ guide in particular.
But then, I contributed.

>>57684622
Stop asking about it. No one here knows.

>>57684457
Not nearly as super-dark as most other Audezes. Closer to flat even. But it has a built-in EQ circuit to do that.

I don't really need closed headphones given that a friend is going to sell me their almost new HD25s for $70.

Do the open back 598s have a mic or is that a new thing with the 598C?

>>57683011
XPT-100's are the most comfortable, and likely the most neutral depending on how 598c measurements pan out.
M40x NEED replacement pads, but if you want a slight V-shape, get them and replace the pads with Brainwavz HM5 pads.
598C's are kind of an unknown creature at the moment. All we really have is first impressions from redditors.

If 598c's are just 598's with a closed back and HM5-like pads, and don't have any other significant changes, I'd imagine they'd be quite good. They'll likely have the most detail out of the three unless they turn out to be fukt.

XPT-100 for safe but
M40x for bassy safe buy once you get HM5 pads
598C if you want to go out on an edge

or you could wait till 598C measurements are released, but that could be a good while.

I'm just looking for something in between flat-response and "fun" sounding. I work a lot with audio so it helps if they're accurate (as accurate as an IEM can be) for referencing against my studio monitors or just recreational listening. I don't really want to spend anymore than the SE535's ideally.

The IE80's were suggested to me a couple of times as they are apparently fun sounding, but not awfully accurate. I can't decide if it's just a meme or not.

>>57684821
>770's but theyre quite unweildly, which may be an issue
Not OP, but the 770's are impressive sounding for the price. A class mate of mine bought a pair for quite cheap (price-matched). I tried them out and they have impressive sound for such an affordable pair of headphones. They're quite bulky though which is a turn off for me.

Are there any good bluetooth full-sized headphones for under $100 USD?

I get the feeling that what I consider lows, mids, and highs are really misconstrued.

Where would the main string melody be considered?
The cellos being plucked in the background?
I ask because the consideration of v-shaped, flat, and the like are making me unsure.

M40x once you change the pads to HM5 pads are great slightly V shaped headphones

What DAC/amp combo would you guys recommend for the Q701s ?
The E10K seems to be the obvious best budget option, but what should I get in the 200-350$ price range ?

>>57685251
I think I will buy m40x only because of detatchable cable and price

>>57685251
HM5 velor, lether or hybrid?

>>57685317
NFB-11 is 325 + shipping, but jesus fuck is it worth it

but for cheaper, O2/ODAC combo are the best option
or schiit stack, theyre essentially the same

>>57685399
Leather for isolation, Velour for breathability, and hybrid for both.

I prefer the leather, and if you want bass, its your best option.

Other two will reduce low end a bit, and make the highs a bit more sibilant, which you probably don't want.

>>57685402
>recommending AGD trash

>>57685427

>>57685452

>>57685471
The problem seems to be your hearing rather. Stop talking about audio products if you're deaf.

>>57684811
It is, in light of their business of selling EQ packages and auto-calibration software.

>>57684922
Most IEMs, with a handful of exceptions, can be generalized as significantly bass boosted with poor extension above 10kHz.

IE8/IE80 has a useable upper treble response, but do something different with the lower frequencies. The large bass boost is centered closer to low midrange, around 150-200Hz or so. The bass vent knob only effectively controls the subbass, which falls off at the minimum setting. Basically, really unclear and boomy.
The fit is somewhat awkward and the vent really hurts the isolation.

ER4SR is near reference flat. Probably less bass than most people would gravitate to. 4XR adds a bit of subbass lift to 4SR, but is still mostly similar.
Something a little more "fun" than either? Not sure.
ER4P(HF2/HF3/HF5) has less treble, SE535 Red, has less treble still.

>>57685803
Skull candy are likely just as bad. What is your budget?

Don't know if I want to buy into the CS meme or get the 558's for $20 cheaper. I'm sure it'll sound good either way but the 558's have velour pads which I really want while the CS would be better on the go.

>>57685829
50-80 dollars perhaps?

>>57685838
You can actually get some really quite nice entry level headphones for that price.
NVX XPT-100 is one of the best. Cheap and actually comfortable as all fuck. Very neutral too.

>Sound signature
Neutral/Somewhat low end heavy. Prefer good extension and kick rather than raw amount of bass
>Past headphones
HD 598's, HD 600's, M40x, MDR V6, DT 770's

Recently sold my HD 600's after I acquired a pair of studio monitors that sound miles better, so that is why I don't need/want open headphones. Sometimes a man just needs some isolation.
All my other headphones I've sold in the past for upgrades or just for shekels.

Currently have Hyper X Cloud Cores with HM5 pads. Sound good, and built well, but I'm getting a bit bored since my studio monitors outdo them in all regards.

>TLDR;
Looking for large, comfy, neutral or decently bass heavy closed backs.

Kinda interested in custom one pros. They look fucking god tier, but I've got no idea about sound quality.

The 598cs are now 229€ all that is left is to wait and see if Amazon had memed us or not

>>57686239

229€ you're right

>>57685581
You don't pair amps and DACs to headphones. You have a transfer function associated with the electronics, and whatever THD, SNR, and output impedance these devices have. The output result is the product of headphone and electronic's response multiplied together.

>>57686464
EQ is your friend.
>I've got no idea about sound quality.
Somewhat similar to the DT770 on the third switch, but with reduced highs.

>>57685452
A different take:
Some years ago, Audio-GD was incompetent with audio. The worst op-amps (an in-house design), sketchy design goals, and sub-par performance.
Things can change over the years, new Master 7 for instance, but they still seem to spout the same nonsense they used to. I haven't bothered to look into the products since.

Despite a lot of good and little bad for the DT 250s in any version,
it's like no one has them.

Is this a case of where people only come out of the woodwork to criticize more than praise,
and that the DT250s have so little to criticize that people who own them just keep quiet?

>>57681733
excellent taste

Current setup is laptop>Rotel amp>pair of bookshelfs but headphone jack on laptop is now breaking. Would using a USB DAC with my laptop work or would an external soundcard be better?

Headphone jack has already been repaired once so chances are if I get it repaired again it will break again.

>>57686804
What exactly is the difference between an external sound card and a DAC to you? An external DAC is basically just a sound card designed for stereo listening only, as in it lacks any input/recording and surround capability. Do you need recording and surround playback? If not, go with a DAC, you'll probably get better quality for the same money.

HD600, spend that money!

First impressions of the hd598c from leddit

The mids are very slightly recessed on the closed version.
The bass is quite a bit more audible, punchier and fuller on the closed version.
The earpads on the closed version resemble the vegan earpads (suede I believe) for the Audeze LCD series. I find them more comfortable than the open HD598 ones.
The headband is also an upgrade in my opinion.
Closed is easier to drive at 23 ohms instead of 50.
Both are similar in weight.
The treble on the closed sounds more extended, cymbals crash harder and the overall sound is less laid back and more dynamic. I'm reminded of the Elear in some ways.
However, the open has a warmer and more pleasing midrange. The closed is more shouty.
Isolation is decent for indoors but I wouldn't classify this as a headphone for outdoor use...yet.

This is all based on a few hours of listening. More to come (and full review) when I've had more time with them. Ultimately, I got them on sale today and I find them well worth the price.

are ATH-M40x a meme?

>>57687127

T1 v2, T5p v2, 1990, 1770 have detachable cables, basically they're slowly transitioning toward detachable cables on their revisions/new products but it seems they're holding off on doing it with their non-tesla headphones so they have an extra selling point to justify the additional cost of the 1770/1990 over the 770/990.

DIY an even cuter cat-mode from an actually good pair of headphones and that'll be much more satisfying.

Logitech g930

I know wireless headset arent too popular here on /g/ but they were perfect for me. letting me walk around while still talking to whoever im talking to.

Had a logietech g930 that lasted me 3 years until they broke. was thinking of getting another one now with the sales going on.

Astro gaming headset caught my eye since it the new one has cordless charging.

This is where we start talking about weird shit.
Like if you bought an amp/dac to make sure for yourself, perhaps your biases have colored your perception of the listening experience just like how perhaps placebos have colored the perception of those who rave about amp/dacs elsewhere.
Are they really not a meme? Are they a meme?
Could Mozart still be alive?

But seriously, consider buying one with a good refund policy and trying it out. Safest bet.

>>57689153
the problem is that by virtue of being dumb cat ear ariana grande-branded bluetooth headphones that light up they are practically guaranteed to sound like any shitty $20 pair. think of it this way:

>$130 for the dumb cat ears, garish coloured LED lights, some idiot celebrity endorsement
>$20 for the electronic components that put the sound into your ear holes

>>57689232
>What is the truth?
You're not getting the truth out of me for free. Figure it out on your own. Advice is not free. Fuck off.
>Are amps/dacs a fucking meme?
Yes. They're all the fucking same. I'm joking. If you want cheap advice buy a CM108 and PCM2704 usb soundcard. They're not the fucking same in sound quality are they..

Looking for iems

Budget <50 CAD, any sound signature that isn't too heavily low, mid, high or v, order of importance is sound quality > isolation > comfort > build quality

>>57689276
Kind of the answer I was expecting. Just as a last opinion before I decide to buy or not, do you think amp/dac are worth it? Or just the amp by itself?

>>57689331
actually these are by Axent, which makes these headphones in black normally, and they're the same exact price
I just wanted the white pair, these are supposed to be better because they've fixed a few issues with the last pair
so I don't think I'm quite paying for Ariana's name

sorry I'm not trying to argue with you I just want some substance on why they should be bad!!

here's the regular ones that aren't special edition

also the ariana grande pair allow you to change the LED color so you're not restricted to a concrete accent color

>>57689232
different amps decolor/color the sound in different ways (they can change soundstage, imaging, eq, etc.) and if you have issues with a certain pair of headphones a certain amp might fix it (it's all subjective though.)

eg: headphones have too much highs
get an amp that brings the highs down
it works differently from a digital eq, even though digital eq is a little more functional. also, some headphones require higher currents, others require more power to actually *move* the drivers.

as for dacs, you really only need one if your source is shitty. it just cleans it up. almost all dacs are exactly the same after 100+

so how are the Sennheiser HD 598 while wearing glasses? Are they comfy?

Took the plunge on the M40X's wish me luck

I really did no research on this, but my brother works at a studio and got me a pair of AKG k7XX
and then I bought a fiio E10k amp.. Will this provide me with a good listening experience? and do I just plug in the amp to my computer an d I am all set? or do I have to download anything?

>>57689549
You will break down and cry

Looking for a set of cans for guitar monitoring. Thinking about the shure srh840s. Any thoughts/other recommendations?

>>57689467
there's no substance offered to be critiqued in the first place! the site lists impedance (which isn't really important) and frequency range (which is shit), and literally no other specs about those headphones. axent is a completely unknown brand, there is zero useful information about the drivers used, the advertising literature talks about everything BUT audio quality. read between the lines, think a little bit about what is being omitted, and you can begin to take informed guesses about a pair of headphones whose selling points is "making you look like a cat!" and "lights up!"

I have 240 USD, and all I want are comfy closed headphones with as good sound as I can get afterwards. These are warrantybucks from my DT770s. Should I just buy the same thing again?

Also are hyper x headohone legit?

>>57689455
Anecdotally, when I bought a dac/amp combo after people said my high impedance headphones would benefit from one, it made a difference definitely.
When I plugged in my low impedance ones into it though, jackshit happened.

Just an amp, I can't say for sure, sorry.

>>57689966
ADENDUM:
and I know that only an amp would fulfill that high impedance requirement, but because there was a dac there too in my case and I really am not 100% sure how both work independently vs. combined, I don't feel confident answering if it was just an amp.

But like that other guy said, if the dac is just to fix a shitty source, then without a dac and just an amp I probably would've been fine, as my source is okay with other headphones too.

>>57689232
>amps/dacs a fucking meme
Kinda? Not sure what you mean by meme.
Amplifiers boost signal, DACs convert digital data into an analog signal. These are necessary functions.
If you have a server mobo, it might lack a sound card to serve as your DAC. Tthe amplifier should be linear into the load, the headphone, given the voltage level that you wish for the amplifier to output. Some headphones just happen to have poor sensitivity, or you wanted more gain for whatever reason.

If you are referring to the magical enhancing qualities attributed to amplifiers/digital-analog converters, soundstage, increased detail, microdynamics: these are not qualities that can be easily related to meaningful parameters. Audiophile idiocy goes much further than this once you start talking to the people who dive into the esoteric, with outlandish claims that run contrary to physics and mathematics/logic.


>amps and dacs can make your 20$ piece of shit into a $700 masterpiece.
Absolutely not. You assure a linear input into a system that couldn't hope to manage a linear output. Somewhat of a waste, since it all gets wasted at the transducer. This goes for any headphone, no matter how high its price or perceived quality is. The electronics can be made better than the transducer with a little effort.

But as an aside, frequency response tend to dominate over everything else as far as "sound quality" goes. Frequency response amplitude is easy to manipulate digitally (don't multiply by zero) and equalization is not that hard.

>>57689623
I would really like help on this (:

>>57689455
>the amp by itself
Get the amp if you need more output, need it to be louder without crackling and other crap.
>amp/dac are worth it
Get the converter to start with a lower noise output to feed into the amp, and potentially isolate the audio signal from various interference sources. That is, if they are properly designed to isolate from interference that you may or may not have.

>>57690023
Download anything? I thought it didn't require drivers. That be all you needed.
Software like Equalizer APO is very useful, but it isn't needed to work.

Have no idea. If it helps, I'll be using them primarily to listen to music, not interested in gaming. I'd prefer them to have a mic attachment if possible.

Never owned headphones before but the JVC HARX-700 were recommended to me a while back.

the meme is more along the lines of tricking you into thinking you're being memed so you shoot yourself when you realize you missed out on a good black friday deal

Only thing that comes remotely close to what I'm looking is the HA-SZ2000 but I'm reaching out to you guys for alternatives.

Hyperx Cloud II are on sale in my country. Considering sound quality are they worth it? or should i go for studio headphones? I was considering getting some Shure SRH440, these are some what cheaper than the Cloud II.
