I "downgraded" from HD598 to M40x to Creative Aurvana Live

Yet it seems that I upgraded.

By comparison the HD598 lacks too much bass and has too much high mids/lower treble which take the front seat so it sounds every unsatisfying for my ears.

m40x was an upgrade for me from the hd598 because bass is actually noticeable and less annoying upper mids/lower treble but the upper treble spike on m40x makes it piercing and forces you to keep the volume at a low not so enjoyable level.

CAL from the m40x has more bass over the mids (seems like the right amount for me) and more high mids/lower treble (which are a little recessed on m40x) and doesn't have the upper treble issues that make "Sss" sounds hurt like hell on the m40x.

The CAL compared to those two has a more "fuller" sound to my ears and so can get louder and be more satisfying without becoming painful which I think is what makes a good headphone. i don't hear any decrease in clarity - in fact, it seems to be the opposite.

not falling for the more expensive = better meme ever again

yes i know to look at graphs but when buying my first few pairs i didn't know what to expect - now i do.

Is the HD600 worth the extra over HD598? Especially considering I'd have to buy an amp as well.
>>
>>57835048
Not much worthwhile discussion to be had on that.
"Sound quality" isn't much of a problem to start with.

>>57835144
>HE1
The earpads are decently spacious, but the headband extends far less than that of the HD600/650/800.
The box lid opening up manages to be more ostentatious in person.
I tend to dislike electrostatic headphones for being generally non-portable, but this manages to redefine inconvenience.

>>57835166
I don't like them. Decisively lacking bass. Isolation isn't high either. Might as well get a cheap Koss clip-on, KSC75.

You don't know that. They are fine off of my laptop and phone.

if you dont have either, then yes, also you might not need the amp, my PC, laptop and even my portable player give me enough loudness, if you are deaf or want to be then get the amp. Also is better to go for an AMP/DAC combo

You being a nigger probably would just buy the Beats
>>
>>57835503
it is though.

your choice of music has great impact on how your headphone is performing..

in my opinion, most sennheiser closed headphones are mostly suited for classical genres which don't need extra pronounciation to have a greater sense of dynamic.


when you hear a bass blaster like the CAL, everythin in your bass heavy music will have the same inarticulate/bloated sound response compared to the sennheiser for example.

which sounds satisfying at first, but will very soon sound just boring
>>
>>57835351

seems like you only wanted a warm-dark signature in the first place, what music are you using them for?

not him, but now a days everything is focused on bassy music with almost to none highs, hence everybody loves the m50x, you sound like a person who is either bass-deaf of have a over sensibility to mids and highs. I´m not trying to offend you and i´m happy to see you found your match. Maybe if you post some or your favorite tracks most around here would think they suck.

i mainly listen to EDM from specific artists.

Haywyre, Noisia, Jade Cicada, Ehiorobo, Gemini, Dooqu, Getter and the list continues.

they have very good knowledge about sound, as well as in the theories and care about perfection in their mastering so you can hear different aspects in their choice of sound in every beat.

any other than that, hardstyle for example is a very fun genre to listen to in terms of mastering and audio craftsmenship. with a trained ear you can hear very easily what kind of "level" the specific producers are able to produce.

how different sounds don't interfere with other without sounding flat, spaciousness of synths which don't sound they emit from out of your headphone

frontliner or the prophet play out of their league in my opinion.

another one i recently discovered is Dalora, a female hardstyle artist with pure knowhow

hey guys, im new to music hardware, but i wanted to try out wearing closed headphones on the go.
im thinking of buying the ATH-m40x together with the AGP Tek mp3-player.
i was wondering if its even worth it using expensive headphones on cheap mp3-players
>>
>>57836403
the m40x isn't too demanding.

i'd advice going for HD 25-1 ii instead and using your smartphone.

smartphone dac's are as good as 95% mp3 players nowadays
>>
>>57836426
thanks for the reply. the HD 25-1 is 50€ more expensive than the m40x in germany.
i used to use my smartphone for mp3s, but im interested in trying an external, slimmer device, for better menu and interface design, and a machine i can keep in my jacket in a designated breast pocket, with the cables inside, so i'd just have to put my jacket on, put the headphones on then connect the headpones to the cable in the breast pocket
>>
>>57835703
No. The stock pads are 'eh', but otherwise its a very competent headphone. Quite similar to M40x.
Slap some HM5's on them and you've got some comfy ass shit.
>>
>>57836468

what about bluetooth?
what's hindering you about bluetooth anyway? what could sound worser than an mp3 player which even fits your breastpocket while it must be supposed to be light as fuck

anyway.. look on kleinanzeigen for used ones, those things are super durable and feature many replaceable parts

>>
>>57836601
How is it a bad idea when the main difference between several headphones is more of a matter of taste? Different headphones for different genres seems ideal.
>>
>>57836499
Yeah, they are indeed 'eh'. I've also got some velour pads with the headphones, way comfier but they sound gutless.
I was actually planning to get some new pads. Thanks for recommending HM5s, anon.
>>
>>57835593
The headphones sound incredibly muffled, no crispness, no bass just really shit sound. I can't even mix with them cause I end up adding way too much treble and bass to my music.
>>
>>57836651
Go with HM5 pleather. Keeps the low end response for the most part and adds soundstage. I had Cloud Cores, so the stock pads were a bit better, but even still they weren't fantastic.

Try EQing them if you want a bit more umpf on velour though.

What "Sennheiser sound"? The company makes headphones of all kinds. Some lineups are somewhat consistent with their response, some are not.

>>57836606
Headphones are voltage driven devices. You need to know the voltage sensitivity of them and the voltage output of your amplifier to calculate how loud you can drive them. Impedance is irrelevant.

How to fix the HD 598 response in two simple steps!

>Step 1.
Install a parametric equalizer.

>Step 2.
Use this config:

# muh flat hd 598
Preamp: -6 dB
Filter: ON PK Fc 20 Hz Gain 6 dB Q 0.5
Filter: ON PK Fc 180 Hz Gain -3 dB Q 0.5
Filter: ON PK Fc 1900 Hz Gain 2 dB Q 1.5


Adjust the second filter if you have a high Zout amplifier by further decreasing the magnitude and shifting the center frequency lower. Resonance frequency of the driver is 90 Hz so that's what high Zout is going to amplify.

Probably a bit late but the mic can be unpluged from the clouds.
I own a pair and they are very good headphones for the price although in my opinion the dt990 250ohm sound considerably better.
HyperX/Kingston made a great move by using a good budget headphone to build their headset line on.
I think going with something like the Samson Go Mic (has a DAC thats way better than my on board) and a pair of headphones that has the sound signature you want is the way to go though.
>>
>>57837521
>Step 5.
Understanding that this EQ will make the response considerably more flat as the manufacturing tolerance will throw the numbers off much less.
>Step 6.
Understanding this is the reason why the config only has three filters to fix the main colorations without trying to go into treble regions where the most individual differences happen. HD 598 is a rather consistent headphone and has no trouble with sealing. It does have a high treble peak but I can't fix it for others. This brings us to...
>Step 7.
Work on the EQ further by yourself and quit being a pleb who partakes in FR graph arguments or "mudheiser/beyersremorse" shitposting.

Sounds highly dubious. I don't think it would have the effect you say even if it were true.

>>57836606
Impedance is the quality of opposing current flow, electrical current in this case. The ohm is its unit of measurement.
All else equal (wire density and length, membrane material and geometry, enclosure, etc.), lower impedance is more sensitive by 10 log (Z). Excluding the beyerdynamic headphones, all is hardly ever equal.

Confusingly, we could say that a headphone is more sensitive but "harder to drive" than another headphone.

>>57836803
>Headphones are voltage driven devices
That's a little backwards. We drive them with a voltage source amplifier, and their frequency response is then defined by voltage. We could do this with a current source instead if we had liked.

>>57837543
>not using a parametric EQ

>>57837521
>Realize you have a different HRTF
Some of these spectral features are essentially HRTF invariant. Even if they weren't, the individual HRTF is divided out anyway.

People on /g/ like to hate on gamers but I am one so let me throw some info your way, son. First I assume that's bluetooth. Bluetooth has a pretty low bandwidth which means it's going to degrade your audio. Some games have pretty HQ audio files in them and I think flac/320 sound way better than 192 mp3/youtube. If you can't tell the difference then bluetooth is fine for you.
Obviously those look nice, which is a plus and are probably very convenient. However you can get some great headphones(beyer's dt line, audio technica, senn, etc) that will blow the SQ on those out of the water and a superior mic for comparable money.
I've tried a ton of mics and think that the Samson Go Mic is the best value, it sounds great and has three settings(for how it picks up sound) and has a dac in it which is good if your on board has feedback.
So your next step would be to decide if you want to upgrade, check the resale value on that headset, and come back here with a budget in mind.
>>
>>57837848
Check the AKG K240 mkII but I heard that you have to be careful with them because of shit tier build.

There's also that Senn HD 518 which is not extremely expensive and maybe fits well what you're looking for.

Also its fucking personal bias if you EQ them nigger, ofc they can sound better to my ear but very slightly only since Ive already tried that, theres not enough of an difference on X2s to be worthwile using an EQ, seems that you havent actually heard them.

>also he doesnt know about the better bass reponse on planars

Fuck off you nigger
>>
>>57835353
I'm losing my mind over them. I tried those exact 598s at a store and wasn't that impressed. The HD600 is considerably more expensive, but I could say it's worth for comfort and sound, even if it has shitty proprietary cables.

>>57838025
>samefagging
Yeah no.
>also he doesnt know about the better bass reponse on planars
No, it's probably just you who doesn't understand it. Certain models(not all) can create a somewhat air-tight chamber within the earcups allowing for the response to extend into infrasonic frequencies without significant roll off. This requires a decently sized driver to allow for enough air to be moved within the cup to create pressure and a sealed cavity so that the pressure doesn't leak out quickly which would result in roll off. See HE-400S and Fostex's shitty TR50P -lineup for examples of planar magnetic driver headphones which roll off like any other. Planars are dynamics btw. Many Stax headphones can achieve similar flat bass response with a proper seal for the same reasons.

If you can't seal the earcups you can design a driver with a large resonance low in the response and/or use EQ to counter the roll off.

Disgustingly dark response on both CB-1 and PMx2. Closed back CB-1 is a little uneven but at least has treble.
>>
>>57838590
I guess you mean sub-bass generally, it's pretty well defined but not very loud. I also don't have too much to compare against and note that I'm running them straight off of a Dell docking station, but here goes:
>2.1 Monitor Audio Bronze BX2 + BK Electronics Gemini II sub: lacks impact & depth, but it's not really a fair comparison
>Sennheiser HD448: louder, deeper, overall better
>Audio Technica ATH-AD900X: louder, deeper, overall better
>Sennheiser HD650: somewhat comparable, HD650 is overall warmer-sounding, less fatiguing and less "constrained" if that makes sense
Some people say they've got excessive treble and that they're very fatiguing, I haven't experienced that. Their treble is a bit too loud indeed, but at the volume I use at work I don't have any issues using them even an entire work day (so 7.5-8h). I'm happy with them as "work headphones" although they can't really compare overall to the 650 I use at home.

>How do you know which headphones are best for the music you listen to?
That's isn't really a thing, headphones for a genre I mean. Not to mention how different opening and ending songs in anime can be so they don't even fall under the same genre. If you have to make a large compromise in sound because of your criteria, choose a headphone which at least covers the range of frequencies present in the music you listen to with decent accuracy. In this case you can't even do that because the content you listen to can't be generalized. So just, get a nice pair of headphones.

If freq range and sound signature are different, or if I've missed anything, can someone fill me in?

I would get the m40x if you don't mind spending the extra money. I own a pair and it sounds great for the price. The removable cable awesome if you plan on using it as a semi portable pair because you can get yourself a shorter cable.

I would recommend getting a replacement ear-pads at some point as I personally find the stock pads can get uncomfortable after 2-3+ hours.
>>
>>57841628
Warm is generally used to describe a bit of an emphasis on lower frequencies without earpiercing treble. It's not generally used for sub-bass though, at least I wouldn't say a subwoofer sounds "warm"
>>
>>57841564
If you enjoy the bass and see it is one of your needs in a headphone, do not buy HD600, they do not emphasize bass, the Fidelio X2 does (or is neutral according to response targets) so those are a very good upgrade, had the 558s myself.

How comfy is the MDR, kind sir?
>>
>>57841839
Imho? a lot less than DT770 and about the same as m40x, the MDR7506 does get better with new pads, the Auray Ship Skin ones make them more comfortable and better at isolation, still, not as much as the DT, but still. Not sure if the pads work on the m40x, but the headphone model is very similar, so i suppose it does.
>>
i have pic related, but the mic has been giving me issues.

would getting something like a samson go mic with a small pop filter be better?

I'm okay with the sound in these headrest. I'll be able to use them as regular headphones since the cable and mic is removable.
>>
>>57841723
X2s horrid build? Theyre just as well built as Hd800s, at least they dont have a fatal flaw that makes them piercing in the trebles kek.
>>
>>57841770
Well I would say it is lacking on the HD600s and I hate the M50x with an passion because it has way too much
>>
>>57841947
I have m40x and with the stock pads even those were a little bass heavy. Much better with brainwaves pad though. That's why I think the HD600's are good for me. Just trying to justify a 5th set of headphones.
>>
>>57841993
Aw shit nigger what are you doing. HD600s and in the same class should like be the third pair you buy,1 when you dont know shit, 2nd the semiexpensive ones open, 3rd audiophool grade.
>>
>>57841993
But yeah I guess you will like the HD600s but I like the X2s way more since they have actual bass like my studio monitor setup, the HD600s really roll hard.
>>
>>57842050
And that not even speaking of comfyness and build quality where the flimsy snapheiser build of the hd600 literally get raped by the aluminium construction of the X2s in addition their pads are memoryfoam...
>>
>>57842022
Well here's the headphones I own in order of purchase.
M40x (Use these for travel and public use)
HD558 (Wanted open headphones and they were on sale)
DT770 250 ohm's (Had a friend selling them really cheap)
Philips SHP9500S (because they were on sale but they make my ear's sweat like crazy.)
>>
>>57842135
The SHP9500s sound almost identical to the HD600, but less articulation, only slightly.

And you will need an amp/dac to notice that.

What does my EQ say about me? Pls no bully
>>
>>57842191
I really like mine. Kinda bass heavy but can easily be modded to drop it a bit.
>>
>>57842191
Its fine, but remember that the 558 are kinda bass heavy so you need to tone it down slightly and that your trebles and mids are a little muted. For audio proudction ear raping treble is great for hearing mistakes in the taping.
>>
>>57842207
Usually its telling of your headphones, not your taste. But you like extremely warm sound with lots of bass.

Anyone with HE400i have a good EQ? I tried to set one up with Equalizer APO using convolver files from here: http://bradshacks.com/he400i-eq-2/ and it had that "eq" sound where everything was in a tunnel. Unless I fucked up, I just set a new convolver filter and picked the wav file with matching bitrate for my DAC.

Ideally, you should learn how to handle an equalizer yourself.

>>57842496
The bass boost takes away what is an otherwise decent offering for $130. Turn down the boost and the sound is impressively full.

I use peacegui and just use peakfilters for treble and low shelf filters with a wee bit of pre amping for dat nig bass, I use higher quality for higher frequencies and lower quality for low frequencies

That's what everyone says. I did the foam mod and it seemed to open the sound-stage more and the bass was still there just not overwhelming or you could just eq it.

I'm very poor, but want to purchase good IEM to listen to music and talk. I want to spend between €50-110. I prioritize clarity, detail, accuracy. Right now, HiFiMan Re-400 or Shure SE215 are top contenders.

Does this Ebay listing seem legitimate?
Do you have other IEM suggestions?
I worry that the sound will be too boring.
What do you use?

Ah shit I fucked up and didn't read the title and mistook them for xiaomis. Anyway hifiman has some qc issues with its iem line and has shitty support. Go for the shure as long as you are not a gorrila with the plastic tube for the eartips they will last you quite a while. Mine are still going strong. Plus you can get third party cables seeing as the stock one is longer than usual.

OK lads, I need help finding a specific model of Sennheisers. They're over-ear and they have a diagonal metal bar on the outside of each ear with "Sennheiser" engraved onto it. I tried pics but my chinkphone apparently takes very large pocs so I couldn't upload.
>>
>>57843019
Yes, but get both of these and make you life with the m40x's 100% better.

>>57843019
Not sure about the soundmagics but the m40s are a solid choice. You can also change to other pads if you find the comfort lacking.
>>
>>57842724
>RE400
Bigger issue is the pissy durability. The eartips are nice and all, but the wires pull apart too easily.
As far as unequalized flatness goes, the Etymotic MK5 is the one to go for.
>>
>>57834722
any of you fagtrons wearing open headphones in public?
is anyone here ballsy enough to do that and annoy everyone around them?
>>
>>57842724
The shure have more bass. Audiophiles think they're a bit muddy. I've them and just can say they're fun. Didn't try the re-400 but people say you could equalize the bass decently. Generally they are clear - neutral. If you want a good bass punch go for the se215.
>>
>>57843123
The only people I have seen wearing open headphones in public are dreadlock white hipsters with hd558s. Doubt anyone here would have the balls to play their weebshit with open cans.
>>
>>57843171
>open headphones in public
I prefer open even in public because it allows me to hear my surroundings more clearly, especially when crossing the street. It also allows me to talk to people without turning off the music
>>
>>57843192
I just use iems in public. Have one in and one not if I'm crossing streets or talking to people. Also how much do you get glared at on the train if you catch one. Even earbud fags get the ire of an entire carriage with that noise.
