Is there enough difference between the Oppo HA-2 and HA-2 SE to be worth paying the extra money for the SE? They'd be paired with some HD600s so the hissing probably wouldn't be a problem.

Are there any good IEM replacement silicone tips?
My ear canals are fairly delicate and i can't use 9/10 OEM tips because of the mold seam (??, pic related) makes it feel like i'm wearing sandpaper in my ears, and my ear canals are also too tight to wear foam tips, or atleast i'm yet to find small enough ones.

SE has a new dac and people are saying that it's better. I don't know where you live but here, Russia, price difference is neglectable.

I watch thinking about getting Oppo to power my HD600 as well, but then I found centrance DACportable (350$) that has much more power to it and which one I will probably get once I go to Europe.

ATH made them originally to compete in ~100$ pricepoint, but they were such a great success they've been jacking the price up almost to double the original now but the m50 cult just keeps growing as they suck in more and more newcomers.

Can be found cheaper than the 598 and are basically cheaper HD 600's with the older driver.

Getting a tip smaller than 10mm may be an issue though because yours is an unusual case.

Bose triport OE, they're shit
removable cable is a plus. coiled cable is also a plus. not being huge and heavy is also a plus. been looking at the ath m40x, brainwavz hm5 and shure 840

Probably a dumb question, but how do I unplug the orange cable from the k712's? I notice theres a little button but pulling and screwing doesn't seem to work
>>
>>57807833
If it's like the K7XX then you just hold the button down and pull it right out. No screwing should be necessary.
>>
>>57807316
your mom
>>
>>57807843
you're right, I just wasn't pulling hard enough.

btw, whats the difference between the coiled and straight cable, besides just the fact one is straight and the other is coiled?
>>
>>57807901
By coiled cable you mean like the springy ones? Just more compact I guess, can be a good or bad thing depending on how you want to use it.

If you mean a braided cable then I think they can be more durable and resistant to the occasional chair rollover. I replaced my cable with a braided one after I started getting issues with it.

Either way it shouldn't affect sound quality or anything like that.
>>
>>57807927
springy one, i'm using it because its a "shorter" than the orange one but stretchy. I didn't know if it was meant for some special purpose
>>
>>57807947
Yeah, not really any special purpose beyond that it may be more convenient if the thing you are connecting to is closer to your headphones and you don't want a lot of extra cable lying around.

These were recommended to me on another website. I was looking at the ZMF version and was having trouble deciding but I saw mayflower actually modifies the internals on the V1 and ZMF didn't mention anything about it, only about the ear pads. On top of that Mayflower offers a mod kit and a comfort strap which is why I was looking at the ZMF's in the first place. This is my first actual pair of headphones and I know nothing about sound stages or the like. I was initially going to go with dome Beyerdynamic dt770 250ohm but after looking around it seemed the fostex was the better choice for a bit more.

or

The gaymen one allows for some blockage of fan noise from the gaymen PC but the 558 provides better soundstage with open. The 558 would end up pricing me more however because a microphone purchase is required.

It is also convenient to have the microphone easily integrated into the gaymer headset + fold down design and case all make travel usage better.

So really it comes down to if the G4ME Zero has shit sound compared to a 558.

Retard, I don't even use my m50x, I was in panic because anons in the previous thread spout shit like people are deaf when they think they hear a neutral sound from them.

Aside from that, I also heard when you have flat sound, you can a add a lot of bass/lowend almost as beats bass level emphasis. Are you by any chance using these tactics?

Also bass are not only for normalfags, it's all depend on if the bass is tight and good on certain tracks. The tracks are the ones who defining people, not the bass.

Because you can get easier aftermarket cables for them if you wanted to. Compared to SMC type connector aftermarket cables.

Would alternatively rec HD600/HD650's instead if Hifiman's are too much hassle. Take this for example a new driver is $100AUD to get a new one Eg. http://service.sennheiser.com.au/consumer/products/hifi-and-tv-headphones/hd-600-avantgarde

Currently I get EVO HD681 for 26$(but I can return it) because V6 price 78$, shp9500 60-64$ little over my budget(not totally 80$ my max.), SR850 same as EVO but with price like x2 of it, and I hate open headphone, also all of them don't shipped for my country(local seller sell it for price x3 of original).
I prefer lower impedance for portability but nothing wrong with huge impedance if it have decent quality.

I have a regular sized head and they don't clamp enough. If i bend over, they fall off. I wish I knew how to fix this, as they sound pretty good.

I'm looking for some nice-sounding headphones that will last and are fairly comfy. I'm upgrading from a HyperX gayming headset so I think dedicated headphones would be a great change of pace.

Going to be using these mostly for digital audio work and gaming.

Hell no. I'm still mad over his SZ2000 review. Z says they literally have no bass. Watch another SZ2000 bass test youtube vid and it proves they're bass monsters.

got these beats solo 2 for 50% off and got them today. i'm surprised, considering how much hate they get. they're not bad at all.

they're closer to my HD 598's than i thought they would be, and are far more portable.

I just had to reformat my harddrive, reset the diplomatic algorithm on my CPU, defragment my secondary echo transverser, repopulate my standard paramorph contractor with null terrahertz slipstarts. and reconfigure my wireless modem transponder setup with a Bayesian inference telemetry packager.

>>57814849
i fucken hated these
low end is even muddier than my COP's on full bass, and the pads are the most dogshit things i've ever felt

rest of the sound was okay, and the form factor was pretty good

but the build is utter shit too.
the sony MDR XB series are a much better option

also
>they're closer to my HD 598's than i thought they would be
wat
they're nearly polar opposites
558's are mids and upper highs focused
Solo 2's are LOW END and a bit of highs focused

don't know how you came to that conclusion
>>
>>57814717
I really wish Z would actually start properly measuring headphones. He says 598's lack low end and then goes onto circlejerk himself into oblivion over 9500's, which are even colder.

He's >>>/plebbit/ as fuck and is a massive autist weeb [as if /hpg/ isn't], but he's bloody damn entertaining to watch, and doesn't try and follow some retarded rigid format that a lot of audio reviews end up doing. He actually covers issues like comfort and build in depth, and gives solutions and alternatives.

If you don't mind long winded reviews recorded on a go-pro with no editing, he's pretty okay.
lachlanlikesathing is also an option, but I find he's too lukewarm on everything. He rarely gives his opinion full blast. Audio is subjective as hell, but at least a defined opinion is useful to people.

Is it really worth spending £200 on the Schiit stack (so I can get good sound quality from insensitive headphones if I want to in the future) instead of just using the DAC/amp I do have (SMSL M3) with the HD 558s and buying more headphones? Would the Schiit stack be a significant upgrade in sound quality for sensitive headphones?
>>
>>57817288
Neutral sources are neutral so no, it is not a significant upgrade in sound quality. The main reason to upgrade is, as you said, more power to drive insensitive headphones and build quality.

You'll get better sound but very subtle i often have a hard time to notice, the hd600 is more open and its the very first thing you notice, and they also made me aware of how my music library is full of compressed music i been storing forever.

It's worth the cash if you really are a little obsesed with audio

The lowest price of a new HD600 here was €240 some time ago, but they're going for €275 now. It's still a good price, but frankly a difference of €175 between the HD600 and a HD598 doesn't justify the purchase.

>>57825372
For me HD600 were a big bump in quality from 598. 598 are amazing for their price but in comparison to HD600 they sounded flat and boring, while HD600 sounded more refined and 'revealing'. When I got HD600 I wanted to listen to all of my music again. It will be a 'heard 1 billionths times' advise but try to hear them out in an audio shop, for me they were worth an upgrade, but my 598 got all torn and old so I decided to get something better. I am still honor 598 for showing me that headphones can be worn comfortably all day without raping your head and ears.

meme words are my favorite part about audiophiles and these threads in general
>>
>>57826277
I am far, far away from and audiophile and these are just simple words. You want me to say something like 'the highs were more detailed and controlled, the mids came off more natural, the soundstage was more defined' and shit like that?
>>
>>57826242
Also, HD600 comes with a smaller audio jack that you screw a big one onto, not the other way around on 598 that is probably there just to piss you off and make you get HD600. Maybe you replaced the cable but holy shit it was horrible thing.
>>
>>57826354
I replaced the cord on my 598 yeah. I've heard the cord for the 600 is annoying too though.

What makes the 600 cable annoying is the proprietary shit.
>>
>>57826585
Well, 598's is not much better 'oh, what a nice thing for a change Sennheiser! Just a normal audio jack that you can put in and wait a second you need to turn it insidearoun FUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUU'. I guess that's what Sennheiser must fucking do, alto there are still aftermarket solutions.
>>
>>57826856
A few Sennheiser models do that, the real issue with the 598 is the massive cable. I also have the 449s and it came with a long extension. I'm going to see if the original cable plus the extension is long enough for me to play music from my laptop while reading on my bed.

Sorry if this should be in /sqt/.

Would using devices like these mess with the sound quality in my headphones of choice at all? Is the device any good in general?

I have one and I love it, it's convenient and well made. Cables don't make any difference in sound unless there is something dysfunctional about it.

Is it just me or is the Sennheiser HD 598cs trash? I'm a casual headphone man so I just used a Skullcandy Hesh 2, but they sound much clearer than the 598cs inspite of the higher cost.

Everyone has been bashing them all week, they are indeed trash.

Have them on my 558's, needed an adapter of sorts to fit. Sound excellent for what they are.
>>
>>57828148
I gave them a chance for a day but they didn't feel worth $100, let alone $150. I feel bad for those who paid full price and didn't immediately return them.
>>
>>57828095
While I'm here what do you guys think about the Hesh 2? You guys would say they're at least decent right? You won't laugh at me right?

Has anyone here actually tried the STAX SR-009 electrostatic earspeakers?

They cost $3500.00, are they worth the price?

I would not buy them, though I am curious about their fidelity and overall quality.

I am getting the MDR 7506

Hi guys, I'm trying to replace my current headphones with something wireless because I'm sick to death of cords. I will mostly be using them to wat ch movies and play games, so I dont need max level audio quality or anything. I dont listen to a whole lot of music, so im not too picky.

As much as possible. I get headaches easily, and cannot stand tightness. I often wear my headphones 8+ hours at a time. Comfort over quality for me.

A better headphone in every way other than portability/isolation

>>57830543
get any decent headphone with a removable cable
and slap one of these on it
https://www.amazon.com/Mpow-Bluetooth-Receiver-Streambot-Hands-Free/dp/B00MJMV0GU

get a really short 3.5 male to female and velcro it to the top of your headband if you want to be special

since a lot of bluetooth headphones are designed for portable use, the clamp is typically higher, and the earpads less comfy and smaller

SHP9500 are a good option since theyre cheap and sound good

Pretty sure the SR-009 is brighter than the Utopia senpai.

my friends,

I need some robust, on the go headphones.

I don't even care about in ear or over ear(closed system) anymore.

They need to sound reasonably good, be robust, and not cost too much.

Any suggestions?
