Alright no other place where this is really relevant.

I'm looking into getting a DAC/DAP combo.

I'm looking at the Shanling M2 as the most likely candidate.

Requirements:
USB DAC
Large SD card capability.
Build Quality
Around 200-300 dollars.

I'd really like if I could dock it but I think I'll just get a Generic Micro USB dock if I get the Shanling.

Any suggestions?

>>58082441
so what, you want a DAP that can serve as a DAC at home for your PC?

>>58082566
Yeah basically, more though when I'm using just my laptop so its still really small.

And then I can just pick it up and go on and switch it over to a DAP.

Never buy hifiman, every single hifiman headphone i've owned had a driver issue where low frequencies would make loud buzzing distortions in one or both channels. i RMA'd replacement after replacement until i had gone through 2 pairs of he-500s 3, pairs of he-560s and one pair of he400i, all fucking brand new and all having distortions.

hifiman headphones sound good, but their quality control is fucking garbage.
INb4: if you got a hifiman headphone that's not broken you're one lucky motherfucker, or I'm just the most unlucky fucking your mother

>>58082619
Ive had almost every 'cheaper' hifiman ever made. Never had that issue once. You amp might just be fukt

The Objective2+ODAC B-stock is $239. The faults are purely cosmetic and the hardware should work fine, right?

>>58082619
what can you expect from headphones engineered by chinks?

>>58082878
isn't that the definition of b stock?

>>58082733
tested with three different amps, the chinks just make shit products.

what's the difference between dt880 & dt880 pro again?

>>58082974
Well yeah, just want to make sure. And what constitutes a defect?

*sweating*

What would be a good upgrade from a 668b clone (SR850)? I like the sound, especially the strong treble, though I also like the bass.
Been looking at hi2050/Pro 80/hyperx cloud and 7506. Sadly hi2050 doesn't seem to be sold here

Hyperx cloud is selling for 60€, 7506 is selling for "as new" for 69, new for 88.

Looking at the graphs
http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/SuperluxHD668B.pdf
http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/TakstarPro80.pdf
http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/SonyMDRV6.pdf

I'm kind of afraid pro 80(/cloud) will be lacking in treble and 7506 will be lacking in bass.
I'm leaning more towards the cloud, because even though the mic quality is worse than my ZMMIC, it means I won't have to deal with the double wire tangle anymore.

Are there any others I should look into btw?
There's also the DT770 but that's 60-70 more than the 7506/cloud

K7XX's should be here on friday, thinking about getting the fiio e10k, I've got $25 amazon credit so I could get it for like $50. This thing should be totally fine right? I don't plan on getting any stupid high impedance headphones for a long time.

>>58084307
go for it

Takstar Pro80/Hyperx Cloud can someone tell me why I should buy it? It's just around 40 shillings in my country.

>>58084390
They're about the same audio quality as M40x, and built better. No removable cable sadly.

how do you get lint off of headphone pads that collect ridiculous amounts of lint? Particularly x2's

>>58084698
Lint roller and/or sticky tape

Are there any Bluetooth enabled over ears that are not absolute shit?

>>58084844
any headphone with a removable cable and a Bluetooth receiver

>>58084901
What's a good reciever?

Are M50x's a good place to start without needing a DAC and/or amp? I've used a fairly cheap gaming headset for years now and I don't have much previous experience with headphones.

HD419, HD558, HD650, HD700 (shit), HD800. Yes I drink the Memeheiser coolaid.

Basically just looking for cheap shit I can treat as disposable or a backup, is there anything at this price point that isn't total garbage? I'd mainly be using them to listen to podcasts or watch YouTube videos and maybe the odd bit of music.

I just want something that will last. £3 earbuds usually sound ok-ish for what I want them for but they just break. I had a pair of Turtle Beaches I used for probably 5 years before they broke and they were around this price. I have a pair of HD419's that I use for a similar purpose but they are too expensive to be disposable imo.

>>58084924
they aren't too good for gaming. Would help if you told us your price range and the type of sound/headphones that you want

>>58084947
Probably around the $150 range, I'm not really aiming for a certain sound signature. I'm siding somewhat towards closed back as well, and I'll be wearing them for hours at a time.

>>58084925
Monoprice 8323

how loud do you guys listen to your music? i got my he400+e10 and i stay around .5 on the dial knob with low gain and no boost. going to 1 is very loud.

>>58084985
Beyerdynamic DT770's are a safe and popular choice. Closed backs generally aren't great for gaming but dt770's get a lot of credit for how decent they are at it. I'd recommend the 80 ohm version. The biggest complaint is that some people find the bass and treble to be fatiguing but I don't. Wearing closed backs for long periods can also make you sick if you aren't used to them, because of the seal around your ear, but thats only for a very small minority

>>58085048
I've been checking around on a few forums and many people are recommending an amp for the DT770's. I'll almost exclusively be listening to them in my room, so should I be worried about that? Otherwise they do seem like a better choice for all-purpose usage.

Reposting because I'm on the fence about the MK5. Comes to 100CAD shipped from Amazon, yet I feel it's not worth that much?

>Type of headphone
IEMs with either active noise cancelling or a nice isolating/passive setup.
>Comfort level
They're IEMs, so hopefully a nice snug fit.
>Sound signature
Neutral, clear sound desired.

Currently looking at these:

Etymotic MC5s - https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B003S3RFIQ

And these 2:
ATH-ANC33iS - https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00CL3TAOQ/
ATH-ANC23 - https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B004K09H32/

But what I'm questioning about the Audio Technicas is... what's the difference between the two? The only thing I can find is that the ANC23 has a Y-Cable setup, and I think no mic/device button, but it's somehow more expensive?

Thanks for any suggestions. Something I can get in the next week would be best.

>>58085216
If you get the 80 ohm version you really don't need an amp.

>>58085216
I don't use an amp with them, though you'd probably need one if you listen to your shit at a much higher than average volume. I imagine sound quality difference without an amp is minimal, especially for people like us.

Okay boys, I've got a problem.
My ears stick out and so I require headphones with strong clamping force and probably thin earpads.
Open or closed doesn't matter, but preferably around $300-$400.
I've tried the HD 600s and just now the DT 770 Pros and both are too uncomfortable because my ears will stick out into the inner earpad and touch the lining before the transducer.
What I've been using for about 2 years are the HD 280 Pros, and they fit perfectly with its clamping force and earpads.
If you have a similar problem or know some good headphones that fit this criteria, please respond.

Just ordered a pair of ATH M40Xs.
What should I expect?

Looking for headphones to compliment my HD650. Maybe K701 or 712 PRO? What do you think?

>>58085707
712 Pros or K7XX's

>>58084307
It's a nice unit just make sure you connect it directly to your motherboard's USB and not a hub's USB (e.g monitor) or you'll get high frequency noise bleeding in.

>>58085603
New pads.

>>58085707
AKG 712 Pro, comfy as fuck, has some bass (but not nigger bass), distortion that's as low as the HD600 (and for some frequencies, lower) and it triggers all the sennshills in this thread.

>>58085603
Get new earpads and you've got the best closed headphones you can buy at the moment

>>58085707
LCD2 or Hifimans.

Are closed back headphones fine for gaming if you don't need extreme precision for footsteps and whatnot? It seems other people online unanimously agree that open are better for gaming, but most seem to mention locating footsteps.

I want them to sound different from Sennheisers and 712 PROs are kinda similar to HD650 while K701 have that treble preak. And I really like how K701 look, they are best looking headphones in my opinion.
>>58085780
LCD2 too expensive and I don't want to sell HD650's. Hifimans HE400 have ear piercing treble if I understand correctly.

schiit bifrost + valhalla

i have literally used nothing but trashy earbuds my entire life. I bought a Phillips 9500S over ear headphones because they were on sale on Newegg for $55. This is a good choice right?

>>58085911
>>58085985
i should also mention that the combo is really nice, got them in 2010/2011 right as schiit started up and have no regrets. hd6xx sound really nice on them, the tubes complement the sound signature well - unlike the ah-d500 i also have, whose bass goes out of control and sounds terrible.

>>58085603
Discomfort. Get HM5 pads. Even the cheapest pleather ones are great.

>>58086072
If you want an open set of headphones, yes. They're very good.

I've been using my phone for four months with no issues so far, so I think I'm good to void the warranty and root it.
My main reason for doing so is Viper4Android. Is it really worth it or just audiofool placebo meme? everyone seems to suck its dick but to me it seems like a system wide EQ

>>58085930
You may want to try the 400i. Comfort and weight improved a lot, and it's a lot more neutral, whilst still keeping the planar sound.

>>58085985
>>58086083
the original valhalla is awful

there are other copies of the takstar HI2050 under 50??

>>58086663
There are, but see if you can get the SHP9500. Theyre only a bit more and the sound improvement is absolutely worth it.

>>58085603
Pretty extreme clamping, combined with the fact that the original pads are not comfortable. Personally, the discomfort kicks in after 4+ hours of straight use, so for short uses it should be fine.

Still waiting for the HM5 pads to arrive. Should hit two birds with one stone.

a DAC can wait. At that price you wont get much, if anything worthwhile.

Cheapest actual good DAC is either this, http://hifimediy.com/Sabre-9018-DAC

or one of the cheapest SMSL combos.

>>58087009
Put unnecessary strain on the cable, make it fail faster and force you to buy a new pair of headphones or a proprietary meme cable

>>58087003
Mobiles usually have the jack on the top, so you put it top downwards into your pocket. The L jack means you don't fuck up the connector.

400i or 400s? 400i now nearly 50$ cheaper than 400s on amazon

>>58087129
If by budget you mean homeless tier, sure. ATE's and various other /csg/ memes outperform them.

>>58087181
Pretty sure the 400i is a direct upgrade. They used to be like $400 but recently they've gotten discounted to $250 on some sites.

>>58087181
400I by far. 400S is only really a better choice if you want a lot more low end. The 400I's are just a lot clearer.

>>58087190
They sound almost as good as the ATE/zircons/pistons for only $3.

Has anyone in here tried them? Can someone take measurements?

>>58087217
>They sound almost as good as the ATE/zircons/pistons for only $3.

Hardly. I'd measure mine If they hadn't have broken.

>>58087192
>>58087203
or should i wait for a hd6xx redrop since im in no hurry

>>58087240
Honestly I'd take 400i over 650's any day. They're not as comfy and not as well built, but their accuracy, especially in the low end surpasses the 650's quite well.

>>58087251
theres that 1 anon in the thread rma'ing tons of hifimans, is that a common thing or is it just him?

>>58087295
I've never had it happen, and it seems to be a relatively lesser issue nowadays from posts on head-fi. Though Hifiman QC isn't fantastic, I'd still say it's worth it for the better sound.

They sound like what I expected of a closed version 598.
-smaller sound stage
-more bass
-somewhat congested

+forward mids are still there with warm senn signature sound

Muddy and the further increased low end only exaggerates the insane distortion in the lows.

>>58087376

I need to replace a pair of Audio Technica AD-700s that broke. They're out of production now, so do you think I should buy the successor AD-700x or spend an extra $30 and get the AD-900x, or something else? I play games and listen to some music.

Also, how much do you need to spend on a sound card to really step up from onboard audio? The one I'm looking at is $30 but I don't know if it's like a video card where it's an obvious increase in quality the more you spend

>>58087468
What?

>>58087555
Just get 900x, they're a linear upgrade.

Don't bother with cheap sound cards, they aren't better than modern onboard chips, unless your mobo is very old. Only something like Essence STX would be an upgrade. If you want better sound quality, maybe grab a cheap DAC, 900x needs no amplifier.

I think innerfidelity measured the 598's.

>Do you think it has some audible effect?
Considering I've heard it both on the open and closed model, yes. I know for a fact that it does.

>>58087740
The closed back version is an entirely different headphone and I highly doubt it was driver distortion you heard in either. Why are you so certain?

>>58087456
those are pretty top notch, as far as v shaped open backs go. V moda m100's seem more tank-like and mobile, but idk how they compare sound and comfort wise

Go back to your chinkshit thread faggot

New HD 650s go for ~320 USD over here, but I saw a pair in a local shop that's bankrupt and selling everything. There wasn't a price sticker on 'em, but I saw some stuff going for 50% off, so I'm guessing the HD 650's will be around 200 USD or something. Now, I'm not an audiophile and I already have a PC 363D, which I've read on some forum is basically a HD 598 with a microphone.
Should I get the HD 650 if the price is good, or would the upgrade be neglible for a pleb with a 'gaming headset'?

I have never owned a pair of headphones, and I don't know anything about them.

Quite different from the headset, somewhat close to HD 598. Balanced sound, close to neutral with a slight warm tilt. If they have it in a store, maybe audition it? I'm quite sure you will be impressed if you haven't heard a decent headphone before.

Don't listen to the shitposters and you don't need to take my word for this either. Try them out and check measurements online.

Dumb question but, can I plug my Logitech desktop speakers into the fiio and get worthy results of running it that way? And then plug my k7xx's into ththe volume knob of my speakers and still get good dac audio without running into any nonsense?

Or should I run the speakers through the back of my motherboard audio and use the dac exclusively for headphones?

>>58082878
I think I will get THE Element, I wish it was a bit smaller tho, r8.

>>58090277
Not until reviews and measurements come out, as anyone should do with a headphone.

>>58090174
it's best to get a dac/amp that has both speakers & headphone, then you should be able to toggle between them while both of them utilize the dac/amp

I'm not sure, but I think e10k might have that?

Bought the Cloud/Pro 80s are they really this small? It doesn't cover my entire ear probably my earlobes are attached. Anyways it sounds amazing for its price point, I'll most likely change to HM5s pads. Any good links for burning in overnight?

>>58090513

I'm new to this and recently got HD558's on sale for about half off and a low end desk mic, the kind that needs plugged into a phantom power thing.

How does an amp work and am I able to plug in both my headset and mic into one? Anyone got recommendations? I see people shilling a shiny red one here that retails at about 80 dollars, is that any good?

>>58090513
Yeah they're not a large can. HM5's do definitely improve them a lot. I think Jds labs has some burn in file or something. Otherwise just let it run your entire music collection overnight

Serious question.

If headphones only need tiny little pinhead size connectors where the cable plugs into the actual can, why do they need a fuckhuge 1/4 inch connector on the other end where they meet your source? Is it just an ergonomic choice?

How do I tighten those hex screws that hold the headband to the circle thing on X2? One side came a bit loose on my pair so I tried with a tiny plyer but it's impossible to get a good grip and they don't seem to be easy to move. Is there a way to remove the cups? I know the "screws" are fake.

Do amp/dac's actually cause delay on audio output or is that bullshit? People say they are no good for games, does that mean every time I'm done listening to music Id have to plug my headphones back into my motherboard?

I'm considering these:

Some portability is a bonus but lack of isn't a complete dealbreaker.

Brainwavz HM5 or Audio Technica ATH M40X? These are the two headphones I see recommended the most in the sub $100 over ear closed range, but which is the way to go? What's the difference?

>>58091076
Not portable at all, but not bad either.

Can the AKG K702's be driven properly from a phone and laptop or do I need an amp?

And no, I don't plan on wearing them outside, I just listen on my phone when walking around in the house

What's a decent set of over-ear headphones that won't make my ears hot during prolonged listening sessions? Budget up to $500.

>>58091292
Or should I wait for the AKG K7XX on Massdrop?

>>58091292
>>58091377
Why AKG?
>Can the AKG K702's be driven properly from a phone and laptop or do I need an amp?
Yes they can be driven off a phone or laptop pretty loudly when playing music but if you use Foobar2000 ReplayGain to volume match all songs then nope you must have a amp because all songs are -dB minus'ed and the volume is not loud enough or if you watch a movie on MPC-HC or VLC video player volume isn't loud enough either. With non-volume matched music it can get loud on phone or laptop.

>>58091596
I have to have the volume slider at like 70-80% to get a decently loud volume level on my Oneplus 3 with my K240's. I think I'll just hold on when I get the new headphones and buy an amp or something afterwards if I need it. The K240's are rated at 55 Ohm and the K702 is at 62 Ohm so I assume it should just be barely acceptable without an amp.

Very helpful and insightful comment

Is Opus the end of audio codec progress? I mean it's getting close to the point where you can have a typical 4 minute song in great quality at under 1MB. I don't actually know anything about programming or psychoacoustics so what I'm about to say might be really dumb, but it seems to me that we're reaching a point where there's just no more headroom left for compressing audio further, regardless of how much more complex they make the codecs. I mean they're just simply running out of runway.

Got my x-mas bonus today.

Based only on that I'd say look elsewhere but you might want to get a legitimate opinion first.

Fuckers have been shilling that shit everywhere. They're probably decent for portable use, but they'd be outperformed by stuff like DT 770's and various other larger headphones.

> but they'd be outperformed by stuff like DT 770's and various other larger headphones.

>and they aren't nearly as v shaped or bass boosted as the 770's
I thought you wanted bass-boosted headphones?

>>58099725
I mean the bass is intended to be boosted just enough that nothing else is muddied or recessed too much like the DT770's do to mids. I read that they're MSR7's with a slight bass emphasis
I'm just playing devil's advocate here, so I hope nobody starts accusing me of shilling. I don't even own any AT headphones

This is definitely an option, but I've never done a DIY project, so I'd have to buy all the tools that would probably end up costing me more than shelling out some extra money for a prebuilt.

All you really need is a soldering iron. They're quite cheap, especially from china, and honestly you should have one already. I've saved at least a couple grand from fixing shit rather than replacing it or getting it repaired professionally.

The cheapest not shit, actually beefy, prebuilt amp, is probably a CMOY. They're about $60 USD

>>58099779
Not really, no. If it powers your headphones fine, then you really have no issue. Flagships often have pretty good DACs.

>>58099975
Nice. Honestly think these are too good strait from the motherboard. I havent heard anything that compares to the x2 and I ve listened to hd800s through an 1000$ sennheiser amp. Got them for 150$ on sale.

>>58100117
Nah you'll be fine. No one can hear my K712s or SHP9500s through my blue yeti.

>>58100117
Not unless the volume is loud. I have a vmoda boompro with some 9500's and the only time it'll leak in discord is if I play it really loud. Skype might be different since it's constantly transmitting the mic

m40x are nearly half the weight but other than that no reason to get m40x's over the hm5's if that's what you want.

>>58101441
>m40x are nearly half the weight
Oh yeah shit, I forgot how heavy HM5s are

>>58101189
ath m50 or whatever they're calling them now is your best bet

>>58101457
He asked for neutral. M50's arent even remotely close to that.

I may need to settle for this

>>58100319
If you're going to mod, yes. Otherwise I would get HE400i's.

>>58101553
There are plenty of good looking headphones that also sound good, example: https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-MSR7GM-SonicPro-High-Resolution-Headphones/dp/B00PEUBIKM/ref=sr_1_2?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1482294699&sr=1-2&keywords=msr7

But headphones with a band logo on them is just cringy if you don't live and breath their music.

>>58101553
>>58101666
>>58101642
Or why not just get the same headphones but without the branding? Are they unavailable or are you just so desperate to be different that you'd buy limited edition headphones for a band that you aren't literally obsessed with?

>>58101666
Well band logo is okay since kids dont even know stones these days, but brand logo to me is absolutely disgusting. I don't even buy laptops with letter logos on the back.
>>58101701
There are the same price and the logo is not big so I guess its ok
Their only songs I like are gimme shelter and paint it black

>>58101642
get the white m50x's

>>58101749
So you're OK wearing the logo of a shitty dadrock band because "kids dont even know stones these days" but not the logo of a highly-respected and high-quality audio company?

>Their only songs I like are gimme shelter and paint it black
I'm just going to drop this right here.

>white
Dont fit me at all. And also I want a little higher performance with $500~$1000 of price
>>58101838
The logo from the other version is just M see >>58097953
Actually I just want something graphic. It just makes me feel more "personal" without letter logos on my product, but maybe I'm wrong.

>>58101920
If you're really this concerned with the appearance of your $500-$1000 headphones then I would advise you seek advice elsewhere.

And for the record when I said
>But they suck.
I was referring to the Stones, not the headphones. Those like very nice headphones though the 4 star review average would give me pause.

Hope you find whatever you're looking for but please please stop being so concerned about logos and other outward bullshit - sound is what matters so focus on that.

>>58101920
And fill out a form next time you request purchasing advice unless you want your post to be ignored again.

>>58102063
Thanks I was just wondering if any of you knew anything about the headphones I mentioned

>>58101169
Those look like ass. I bet they're uncomfortable too.

Wasted $60 on Samsung Level U Pro IEMs

E.G. bluetooth garbage. They're not as bad as the last pair of bluetooth trash I wasted money on. They're just utterly non-musical, analytical without being transparent, slooooow, and require aftermarket tip replacements (currently using Shure Olives) to be usable at all.

If there is any substance to the UHQA BT thing, they might be passably decent paired with a Samsung device. But I sort've doubt it.

Would be nice if they were comfortable.

Neutral? I've never listened to headphones that actually advertised these settings.
>Past headphones
Turtle beach mostly. Have used gaming headphones all of my life, but since the recent purchase of my studio mic, I'm looking for audiophile quality headphones to match. I'm going in fresh to this sort of thing, so my past likes and dislikes don't really apply here. So far I kind like the Sennheiser HD 598...

I need maximum $25 Canadian dollaroos in-ear headphones that have a mic.
For Xbox One and gym use, nothing fancy.

I got pic related and they're alright. Any other suggestions? Preferably available on amazon bc of return policy.

what amp is better than the magni 2?

>>58103235
Asgard 2

>>58103258
lol no

>>58102887
sorry for no replies man. Are you dead set on neutral or just said that because you aren't familiar with the phrases? Sennheiser 598 are a little on the bright side meaning they emphasize high pitch notes, and they also tone down low notes which means less bass. That said, its usually described as neutral in reviews. Also, you asked for a closed headphone and the 598's are open

>>58103300
Yup, unfamiliar with the differences. Not dead set on neutral, that's just really all I know. That makes sense though...Yeah, I noticed that about a minute after posting. I would still prefer the closed style.

>>58103365
what kind of music do you listen to most? Do you plan on using strictly for music, or video games also?

Brazil.

PC. Gaming and some music.

>Type of headphone
Don't care as long as it's good.

>Open or closed
Don't care.

>Comfort level
Decent comfort. Something I can use for +5 hours.

>Past headphones
I used to use my phone earphone. It was an HTC High-Res, but I can't find it anywhere to buy anymore.

>>58103377
It'll probably be a mix of both music and gaming. As far as a music genre, J-rock and Vocaloid. Will be doing a bit of recording as well, no mixing I think...

>>58103406
SPH9500

>>58103415
DT 770's are popular a popular choice at that price range. They're closed back, do most music well, and are good (for a closed back) with gaming. Though I'm only giving this as a popular choice because idk shit about those genres or recording, so I'd recommend asking again when the new thread is made.

>>58102774
>non-musical
>slow
>transparency used to describe response
try again

>>58103529
slow is a real descriptor

the other two i can agree thou

>>58103538
So what kind of response makes an impression of slow? Lots of bass?

>>58103556
Decay. Its kind of a synonym.

>>58103576
Please don't say you mean CSD graphs because you do not hear that. It's a stupid term because speed is indeed part of the response and shown it is shown in the FR plot already: just look at how high the response extends.
