XIAOMI Mi In-Ear Piston 3 on phone (deceased)
using Audio Technica ATH-M50x (mostly on my laptop)

>>57983104
HJE120K/HJE125K

maybe the piston 3 youth edition if you liked the pistons

>>57983117
>HJE120K/HJE125K
Which one is better?

>if you liked the pistons
Well I liked them, they were good. Good design, good sound, but they were pretty fast dead

>>57983104
SHE3590
Better sounding than the HJE125K, and fits better imo.

I've had mine for a year so far and no signs of breakage.

>>57983173
Same sound.
>>57983216
Better sound but worse fit and worse microphonics to me.

>>57983173
they might have been fake

there's way more fakes than legit ones on the market

youth edition is basically the same but with a flat cable and you don't get the cool box thingy

Look around yourself maybe
125k has 4.6 on amazon, 120k has 4.4
can't find comparison discussions other than the non k versions and I'm not sure if there's differences there
hell I don't even know what the difference is between the two

>>57983230
Fit is kinda subjective in the end. I ram the SHE's in my ear and never have to fiddle with them. The HJE take more to get them to sit right in my experience.

Can agree with the microphonics though.

>>57983216

Are they straight into the ear or "bend"? Straight ones hurt my ears

I doubt they were sold BY amazon, they were probably just sold ON amazon

fakes can be sold on amazon and fakes are being sold on amazon

>>57983402
They've got a bend in them.

>>57983427
They were sold by another company on Amazon, with 4.5 stars. But still could be fake

>>57983429

I just got my first pair of circumaural headphones (Tascam TH-02's) and they sound pretty good. They're a little uncomfortable but I plan on replacing the pads and upgrading to something better next year.

What pads do you recommend? I hear good things about Brainwavz HM5 pads.

I've never owned a decent pair of headphones before. Is there any truth to the sennheiser veil meme?

>>57984810
e07k used to be the go to for portable, but I think a better option came out a while back

as for the headphones fill out the form in OP

>>57985056
have a look at xpt100/HM5, they're neutral to bassy, but closed
however most neutral to bassy headphones you'll find are closed since it comes with being closed

>>57984996
>buying pads as expensive as your headphones

>>57985058
I think it's more of a specific taste in sound profile than a veil, some people like it, some dislike it, just like most sound profiles

if you can test them, go for it, if you can't, I wouldn't risk it unless you get a great deal on them or they're all you can get where you live

Literally zero information. Why would anyone take your(or whoever else is shilling them) for granted? It's just "Hey these sound good to me. Believe me. Buy them." repeated all over again. With the level of experience I'd expect people in /csg/ or Ali/Ebay etc to have with in-ears and audio gear, it makes these posts even less interesting. More so as I've personally heard so many cheap in-ears and none of them were good, not even sound wise.

Get someone to measure the cheap shits so we can actually see how they do. I wouldn't be surprised if they fall to the exact same category as 99% of the cheap in-ears which is:

>stupid amount of bass
>uneven treble response, canal resonances everywhere
>poor qc, poorly matched channels
>shit fit, three tips included
>bulky and heavy metal housing because muh build quality = uncomfortable, easily fall off
>hardwired cable that tangles on itself
>non-replaceable filters

Yeah true, for 3 bucks you don't really expect much but I'd figure many people who want decent quality are willing to pay a little more to get something better.

>>57985058
No because Sennheiser does not have a house sound(their products are all over the place) and people call all kinds of different responses "veiled" when it masks things they are expect to hear more clearly.

>>57985272
Whoops. And here was me awkwardly asking my parents for a gift for the first time since I left undergrad.

I live in sort of backwoods NC so I don't have shit around me besides Skull Candy and Beats.

>>57985250
ehh the pads aren't bound to my Tascams forever, when I get better headphones I can just transfer the replacement pads onto those (assuming they fit).

>>57985340

You cant find any overly bassy open headphones at that pricerange. Though X2's and HE400S with HM5's are options when they're on sale.

DT 770's
or
Takstar Pro 80/Kingston Hyper X Cloud Core [yes, the headset] + HM5 pads are good options for closed headphones

>>57987524
Yes, I got mine on sunday, this is my first amp/dac and I am very impressed. It sounds good to me, and was the perfect solution for active speakers/headphones. I like that I can leave the phones plugged in, and use the switch to switch to the speakers and control the volume with the origen. Installing drivers on my win10 laptop was a little fucky, they are unsigned, but after jumping through some hoops it works great.

I don't have any reference to compare it to besides my desktop's shitty, noisy onboard audio, and it is 100% better, even the speakers sound better.

I kind of fell like the Fulla 2 may have been better, it just has a higher end look to it, but I love the toggle switch on the Origen+ and not having to plug/unplug phones all the time.

x2 v hd600/650?

Probably X2's. If you're not looking for pure audiophile grade autism tier sound, X2's are usually a lot more appealing to normies/normie music.

>>57987960
600/650 are actually pretty mediocre for gaming. Lacks soundstage, but even more importantly, imaging isn't that amazing. The ADx series is much better. Hell, even Mad Dogs are a lot better.

>>57984720
X2 is far more versatile, wider soundstage, more bass which makes movies and games impressive. Underated headphone if you read about how much work philips has put into it.

r8 my headphones holder

I need a DAC/AMP to drive my K7XXs arriving next week on a $100 budget since I blew most of my budget on the headphones themselves. The only input I have right now is a $5 USB Audio Adapter.

Rather spend the least amount to drive my headphones without killing my quality significantly.
I'm looking at FiiO E10K and Schitt Fulla 2 right now suggested by my friend. Any other suggestions / what should I get?

>>57994483
too small/10

>>57995007
e10k is the go to recommendation for cheap dac/amp here
if fullashit is cheaper there, you could also go that route

>>57992817
What about those Superlux? I assume build quality is utter shit even if they sound alright.

>>57995069
both have high treble, one had slightly boosted bass, the other has a pretty strong bass boost
hi2050 is also balanced to vs shaped

Yeah that's correct. The rest depends on how loud you want them to be. LCD lineup, especially after Fazor magnet structure, are quite sensitive and usually do not need some kind of discrete(and more powerful) amplifier to drive loudly.

>>57993629
You should not do it if you haven't compared both side by side. Only reason to do it is if you have heard the HD 650 and you liked their sound more.

Can Bose QC20s be charged while in use with noise cancelling on? Specifically from a power bank?

>>57995069
I assume youre talking about the 668b
Their build is actually really fuckin decent. The metals used are hard as shit to saw though. A lot harder than mild steel from what I could tell. The plastics feel cheap but are about average. It's not quite the same as the nicer plastics on Beyers and shit.

That said, 668B's are quite similar to DT 990's with less sub-bass. They're very bright.
The 668b's main sellers are soundstage and imaging. They're essentially incredibly cheap alternates to the AT-ADx series. Their actual sound is kind of grainy, but still fantastic for under $40.

Here's a pic of my 668b's mid modification on a messy ass workbench. They're a bit different now that they're finished but whatever.

See if you can find a pair of K553 pro's on the cheap. They get down to ~$120 pretty often. That should fit your requirements to a T. The only issue you might have is that they aren't the MOST comfortable, as the headband could use more padding, but you can always fix that if need be.

>>57988689
They're essentially the same thing.

Anyone tried the new Xiaomi Hybrid Triple Driver?
I'm in the market for some cheap earbuds and the Xiaomi with comply eartips and a carrying pouch comes to about 50 bucks with taxes from a local dealer.
Worth it?

>>58000034
>K553 pros
this are actually interesting, and yeah the headband can be fix with some type of headband cloth wrapped around.

do you own these? from what the reviewers say, these cans really give off an impressive sound stage.

>>57992817
Thanks for the info

>>58000385
Own a pair of K550's, pretty much the same thing, and the headband padding is great. The only uncomfortable thing about them is the leatherette earpads in the summer, but that's not particular of the headphones.

Does anyone here know anything about audio interfaces? I'm looking for something beginner tier for music production, preferably with at least one 1/4" jack for guitar. I'm monitoring with a pair of superlux hd681 EVOs btw.

Thoughts on the bose qc15s?
I know they're discontinued but they're on sale in Costco at 220usd

>>58000579
Only worth if you really need the active noise cancelling.

>>58000579
That seems way too expensive for two generations old tech.

Pleb reporting in. My second Bose Quietcomfort broke and I think I'm getting memed on, so I'm defering to you guys to find me something good.

Budget - 200 to 250. If there's something cheaper that you feel can serve my purposes feel free.

Location - USA. Jew York, Jew York.

Source - My smartphone, laptop, gaming computer, and PS4

Type of headphone - Full-sized

Open or closed - Closed

Comfort level: I want it to cover my ears and be soft. So a bit comfortable, i guess, but i'll settle for "not distracting/digging uncomfortably into my ear."

Sound signature: - bassy

Past headphones (Skip if you're lazy) - Quiet Comfort Q3, Quiet Comfort Q4. I liked the sound quality itself, but I don't feel like it really "cancelled" outside noise.

Also, minor addition: I'm not against flashy designs Like I'm fine with both of the earmuffs standing out visually - they don't gotta stand out but I like interesting/gimmicky aethetics.

Do you guys use different headphones outside or take you're home pair with you?
It's kinda uncomfortable to go around with monitor headphones on neck/backpack

I'm thinking of buying some comply eartips for my iems, and according to the seller they fit "95% brand IEMs out there"
Is this true?
I'm looking at the comply website and there's a compatibility pdf outlining some very specific details about fit.

>>58002244
Looks like the same build method as the HD DJ lineup.
There's a Youtube video of a guy folding the headband to the point where the earcups touch on the outside and the headband snaps into place like nothing happened.
Good shit

>>58002624
IIRC they have various options of the tips, you then look at the charts of which option has your IEMs

I could be mixing it up with something else tho

>>58001324
Replaced the drivers with drivers from some old Senny headphone, and applied various dampening/clay mods. Also added HM5 Angle padss, and one of them Beyer removable headband pads. I'll probably take a photo some day.

They pretty damn good. They're similar to my Argons in terms of signature, and detail is respectably close. Soundstage and imaging is a fair bit worse of course, and comfort isn't nearly as good as the Argons due to the ZMF and weird strap thing.

That said they're surprisingly sturdy. I dont know what plastic they used but shieeeeet, they've lasted weeks of being slammed. I just shove them in my bag and forget about them. Often lean against my bag on public transport and they've never been broken.

Even if they did. it'd likely just be the headband or forks that break. So as long as the cups are in tact, I could just buy another pair and salvage the headband from that for only $15 USD + shipping.

One of my favorite mod results. Measured distortion a while back and its actually not as bad as I thought it would have been.

should ship to Hungary from within the EU, if it comes from outside, take 30% off the top budget, that's the customs fee I will have to pay for it

96 ohm max impedance, I don't care about the cushion type, but cable should be detachable, even better if it's a non-proprietary plug, perfect if it's also coiled

>why I want an upgrade from previous headphone
zero sound stage, negligible perceived improvement over cans of the same closed type a fifth of its price, basically I realized they are a meme, and a bad one at that

Thanks!

Should try velours on the COP's. I didn't like the stock pads but velours brought the mids up and increased soundstage.

Beyer velours might not do that much though because they seal a lot more than AKG type velours

>>58005322
is the hd600 better than 650?
if i listened to mainstream things and some instrumentals of hip hop songs which would be better?

>>58005460
i dunno

>>58005380
HE400S

>>58005460
probably 650

They may not be perfect in sound reproduction, but goddamn they are perfect for using in the office all day.

I think I've reached my "end-goal" for now, until they die or I get a much, MUCH better job.

>>58005460
650 might be a bit better for hip hop just because its slightly warmer, but you might want to look to planars like HE 400I or 400S since they have better low end

>>58005454
Thank you very much for the budget friendly upgrade suggestion, I really appreciate it! Would you be so kind to give me a link or two to velour pad types that would might be compatible?

>>58005473
These are a 100€ over my budget where I can buy them from. Thank you anyway.

> there are people that say that these don't have bass

I don't want to know what "headphones with bass" sound like at all. I've owned the 702s in the past and these almost sound nothing like them

When will the manbun meme end, shit looks so stupid.

>>58005528
What about K712? you might find it cheaper, but you might find the bass lacking.
I think the only one that might compare to COP in bass level are the X2s, but these are way more expensive.

>>58000664
Yeah, i usually pick between my MDR v6, Fidelio L2 and M80 when on the go.

All I can find is AKG K712PRO, and it's a mere 30 euros less at 270, so it's still way beyond my budget. I'll try velour pads to open up soundstage for my COPs and see what happens.

I've done my own research on this for some time, and the Sennheiser HD 598 would be in my ballpark, but I have no idea how the sound would turn out. I just don't have the money to buy half a dozen different headphones before I find the right one.

K240 pads should work
https://www.thomann.de/gb/akg_k240270271_velour_ohrpolster.htm
They're a bit larger than COP's so they spin and arent exactly that tight. When I tried them I put some double sided tape over the rim and that fixed it.

But that said, you may want to get Brainwavz pads. They're a lot thicker [especially if you get the angled ones] so even if you didn't get the velour ones they'd still give more soundstage. They also fit a lot better to the COP's.

You can get hybrids too if you want to keep more of the low end and isolation.

Not as thick though.

I put ZMF pads on my COP's, but I don't think you'd be wanting to spend $50 USD on just pads.

>>58005657
you think that bass below 50hz matters that much?

why dont you see hd600's freq response from innerfidelity pfft

What are some good $200-300 USD over ear closed back Bose headphones?

>>58005879
Why Bose?

>>58005900
New to headphones. Just going by the brand reputation.

>>58005917
Don't. Brand reputation is fucking stupid. The only reason to get Bose is for their ANC.

Otherwise they're shit and overpriced.
