The response is pretty poor on either without ANC/Bluetooth active.
Digital operation activates the EQ which patches up major issues, but the EQ choice is still somewhat questionable, and they still aren't amazing. Could apply additional EQ of your own.

Which one is less bad in passive mode? Personally the Sony, I think, whereas I would say the Bose wins in active mode.

my akg k702 started emitting crackling noises on the left speaker at low frequencies (very noticable at 50Hz). the noises disappear at low and high volumes and vary with orientation.
anything obvious i can try?

This is a pretty silly beginner thing to ask but I just got $100 for christmas and was looking around for some good headphones and settled on AKG 240s after hearing real good stuff about them, however I'm really new to the world of higher end headphones and still only listen to mp3s on Musicbee, so will I actually notice much of a change from my shitty apple earpods?

>>58177946
forgot to mention that I'd like a good pair for recording and mixing and general music production too so I'd like to know if they're very reliable for those things

>>58177082

The older K240 600 Ohms are god tier. The newer 55 Ohm ones are boring memes. Just go with Sennheiser HD558 or something.

>>58178036
Still doesn't say much about the sound isolation. And I certainly certainly don't have the place to buy from his pads or the HM5 pads and they make it cost more.

Hey, newbie when it comes to audio, I know a little bit, but not enough to say I ordered the right thing. The loving gf got me a pair of DT 880 Pro's 250 ohms.

I could tell, as she also told me, that I would need an amp for these.

So I thought my best option was a well praised budget DAC/amp.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A2QLPJM/

I also got a nice toslink to output from my motherboard. Will this be enough?

ATH-M50X or hd 559
idk what im looking for first pair of headphones just something good all around
have some cakeu

>>58178246
Beats and apple aren't 'shit' but they're overpriced and shit compared to actual top headphones.

>>58179212
It will be enough, the e10k is more than enough for my hd600's. Don't fall for the memes when it comes to amps. Keep it simple lad.

Before I even answer that is your headphone jack 3.5mm? will it even fit that amp?

3.5 with a screw on 1/4". I'm good on that side.

>>58179662
my gf asked /g/ for help. Also the comfort is delicious, so I'm already super happy with it. Already a massive upgrade from the SR850's I was using.

>>58179680
Yeah. everything should be fine then. If you feel you can't hear a difference or there's a problem with the amp/setup then I'm assuming you can return it hassle free with amazon.

>>58179726
That was the plan, I didn't think headphones need anything crazy for noticeable difference via an amp/dac, enough so I could find a combo that had optic out.

If you know any upgrades under $150 that fit my criteria in case this doesn't work out?

I looked at doing a Schiit set up with the standalone boxes, but I was fairly certain my ears are far from golden enough to hear the difference to justify the $200 set up.

>>58179662
990 is literally just a shit 880

>JUST BOUGHT SHURE SE215

THOUGHTS?

>>58179892
The whole replaceable cable for in ear headphones looks like it's worth its weight in gold.

>>58179869
600 ohm version is godlike when driven properly, shits all over 880.

>>58179833
Some will say otherwise here but I previously owned the o2 amp+odac combo. Many people look between that and the schit stack as an upgrade or a first good amp setup after buying good headphones. After borrowing my friends fiio e10k I realized that both amps sound exactly the same with hd600's, k702's k712 and fidelio x2's.

Basically, I fell for a meme, the o2 combo is way more expensive than the e10k and it offered nothing besides a line out option that was loud/powefull enough to use plugged into my ps4 controller. Besides that, used direct with your computer they sound exactly the same. Unless your amp is clearly worse than the e10k (which I doubt) the you have nothing to worry about.

Anyone's using ASUS Xonar Essence STX/STX II with low impedance headphones? Is it true that they make them sound like ass due to the high impedance output and that I need one of those chinese impedance increasing adapters from ebay?

Hey /hpg/ I'm looking for a EDC DAC, I'm planning on buying pic related. Are they any good?

best commercial active noise cancelling in-ears?

>>58180263
it depends if they're on ear or over ear

basically, if it's large enough to go over your ears, it's over here, if it's not, it's on ear

>>58180295
just get an e12 mont blanc unless you want it as a fashion accessory in which case oppo makes decent gear, though usually overpriced

>>58180298
as far as I know, bose are the kings of active noise cancelling

>>58180263
With Sony MDR-7506 or MDR-V6 they are full-sized headphones but if you treat them as on-ear pads you lose seal and no bass... Sony 7506/V6's go over your ear helix.

So far, I'm thinking about the Beyerdynamic DT-1350-80 headphones for $170

Just want it for mostly isolation and sound quality for train commutes and listening to while in the office, where the other people are sitting pretty close.

Also important is a nice sound quality to price ratio while trying to get something more durable in a higher price tier.

Thoughts or any other recommendations? Thanks

>Sound signature: no idea!
>Past headphones: Plantronics Gamescom 380. I liked pretty much everything about it except two thing: sound quality that didn't suits my needs, and the cable because i hate cables. Otherwise, the weight, size, shape and look were all very satisfying.


Speaking of cables, i was wondering if wireless headset were any good? Considering if i had one i would stand 90% of the time at less than 30cm from the emitter, and the 10% would be 3m away, would it be good for me to buy one? I absolutely hate the cables of headsets and if it means having a bit of sound latency, i don't really mind as long as it sounds good.

Thank you!

take this with of a grain of salt but i have ath-m50x and my sister has hd 558 and her headphones sound way better. ath-m50x are a meme in my opinion and i just bought 558s from amazon yesterday. the open back makes the sound way better but also then they are not noise isolating like ath-m50xs and also other people can hear what youre listening to

Strongly preferred the aviators for comfort and they have far superior build quality as the bose pads degraded way to quickly and the linings fallen off. Honestly never noticed sound quality differences but I'm currently using the aviators.

Also are there any cheap products that would let me add a bluetooth connection to a desktop pc? This isn't part of the budget, I'm just looking for suggestions as wires have caused me some annoyance.

WS1100is produces some unusual sound. What the fuck?

It's kinda weird

I would give an first impression but they fucking weird as fuck. I don't if it's good or bad, honestly

I will say my final thoughts when I get OriGen+

>>58182573
if there's no hiss on your current headphones, there's no need
also, most people think it's better to just buy an external dac/amp (see e10k/fulla2) for a bit more money, since there's less influence of other components, and frankly it's easier to plug shit into. Plus you get a handy dandy volume knob

>>58182569
Desktop. So if I just use the Line Out, it would be considered okay?

>>58180425
Passive in-ears block out more sound overall, as it would happen.

>>58180385
Why field opinions if you've already ordered them?

Of course it can. The issue is if it is loud enough for you, something that we cannot know.

>>58179272
Had both. 559 are open and better, get them unless you want to use on bus etc then ath because 559 are loud to people in the same vicinity

>>58182532
thanks you too

>>58182697
Yes. But if you hear static or distortion from inside your PC and it bothers you that's when you need a external DAC.

>get ATH M50x and velour HM5 pads for Christmas
>stock pads are uncomfortable and bass is overwhelming
>put on HM5 pads
>comfy as fuck and slightly improved soundstage, but bass loses all of its punch and music sounds thinner due to poor seal

Are there other HM5 pads (or any other brand) that will be comfy and tame the bass without completely neutering it? If that's not possible then something that's comfy and doesn't affect the bass is also fine since I can just EQ it to my liking.

Also, how do DT 770s avoid this problem with their velour pads?

>>58183376

>>58183408
Koss Porta Pros are based, they have a little more bass than they need but they do sound very good, and they tune up well with an EQ if you must lower the bass (but really it's not that bad). Great budget device, and all i feel like i actually need.

Build quality and life span are generally dogshit even if the sound quality is pretty good. Every single Sennheiser I had broke in one way or another and channels randomly died in less than a year.

It doesn't feels or looks like the build quality of HD600/650 is much better than that of HD201 (they actually sound pretty nice) which cost 20 bucks.

Sound Signature - Don't care too much, but slight preference for boosted bass.

ATH-A700, AKG K553 pro, Porta pros, Campfire Audio Lyra II

Kinda tl;dr, I want to grab one of the ATH-ADXXXX series for gaming, but it can't be entirely anemic in the bass and sub-bass areas. Might spring for the X2, but I'm not sure that I need that much bass (got that covered with the Lyra II's). Anything ideal in that price range is also in the running. I like the K553 for gaming, but I want to go open and maybe more comfy in the headband.

>>58185304
Might want to look at DT1990 PRO. They're fairly new so there aren't many reviews around but they look pretty nice.

X2 is a safe bet overall, the bass is just enough, they aren't some niggercans.

>>58185385

I'll have to look into the 1990, like you said I haven't heard/seen much. Glad to hear that the X2's aren't too bass-forward, since that's what everyone seems to love them for. What about the SHP9500? Isn't that sort of in the league of what I'm looking for, too?

They do have good and punchy bass but it's not niggerbass. I guess most people here on /hpg/ are just used to anemic Sennheisers and other analytical headphones so they find them shocking. They're nothing like actual closed-backs for bassheads though. You mentioned getting some ATH-AD, I find X2 pretty similar to 700/900 but with way better bass and nicer treble while keeping the soundstage and clarity. I've got both 700 (discountinued model) and 900s and I haven't really used them for gaming after getting X2.

>What about the SHP9500? Isn't that sort of in the league of what I'm looking for, too?
Well, you're willing to spend a fair amount it seems so I didn't even consider cheap stuff. They're great if you're on budget.

>>58185586

I follow you. I threw in the SHP9500 as a "diminishing returns" kinda thing, as quality and price don't always scale. Sounds like the X2 may be the way to go, then. Thanks for the info!

Getting three very different answers here

What brands do you guys look to for decent cans. Right now I'm looking for something wireless and I've been looking at some sennheiser and audio technica stuff.

>>58187493
Marshall Major II are pretty good apparently. Tough, good life, good range.

>>58187479
Answer 1 and 3 are the same.
Your only option is a portable amp or a better cellphone. The portable amp choice is clunky and adds to your daily carry stuff and another thing to charge and keep track this. If you want to to this route go for a Fiio Q1. Perfect size to strap to your phone and comes with everything you need.
The other choice is to stop buying chinkshit and get a decent brand that can drive headphones well. Apple, Samsung and I think HTC phones have good audio chips on them. I know for sure my iPod Touch 6 can drive anything I've plugged into it to unsafe listening levels, including some 95 ohms 112 spl headphones.

>>58187479
Some people value things most people don't. Even in groups like audiophiles.

>>>>58187517
Would you place these above the sennheiser and audio technica brands in term of sound quality?

>>58187578
At that price point - neither of the two have anything to bring to the table.
From Sennheiser anything less than a Momentum 2.0 Wireless will not be worth the money.
Audiotechnica on the other hand feels like plasticky crap.

>>58187578
As far as I know the Marshall headphones line is made by some fashion headphones company that focuses on cheap shit for women. I haven't personally tried them, but I wouldn't bet on them lasting long.
If you want quality wireless your best bet is the Momentum 2 Wireless, but that shit will cost you an arm and a leg. There's also the Urbanite XL line which is cheaper.

>>58187634
Same here - if i get anything wireless worth some money - i'd save for a momentum 2 wireless.
The Urbanite XL apparently have a touchy sensor for controls, it's too sensitive. And have weak clamping force, but depends on the size of the head though.

PS: Remembered about Meelectronics Matrix 2 - that's a nice entry into the bluetooth segment. Mine broke eventually - where the metal clips move go into the headphone band. Worth the money while they lasted. Tyl praised them :)

I'm going to be using these mainly for pc gaming and pairing them with a blue yeti. Would it just be better to suck it up and go for some Astro a50s instead?

>>58187528
Can the OP3T power headphones well?

HD600s are half price on amazon but thomann has AKG K-712 Pro for 60% off

If i want an everyday can what do i buy?

>>58187720
An important fact people forget - you can use headsets from phones (with their mics in-line) using a simple Y cable - one goes into the mic hole, one into the headphone hole.
If you have a decent pair of those - use them instead, you can always buy something later

>>58187755
HD600

The 712s are just too large. They really are, i owned a pair of Q 701s until recently and that always annoyed me a lot.

>>58187760
I'm using corsair h1200s right now. Wouldn't say theyre too good for quality.

>>58187803
"Gaming" headsets really are a piece of shit.

>>58187818
That'd why I'm trying to move on to a better set of cans. Tired of not hearing things others can hear etc. I'm no incredibly knowledgeable on what makes a good set of headphones so it's hard. I might save for those momentum 2.0s though.

>>58187784
I asked a friend who owns 600s at the same time that I posted, he said not to get 600's because I'm sacrificing bass extensions for accurate mids and that if i dont take size into account AKG's will be 100 times better

>>58187389
Yeah, neutral-ish and such.

>>58187578
Treble quality on Momentum and M2 is not great, notch filter around 5 Khz or so.

>>58187784
HD600 would be friendlier to large heads if the headband had less clamp.
My head maxes out the slider on the 702, but still has room to spare on the HD 600.

>>58187754
From what I can piece together, output level is on the high side for most phones (~0.84 Vrms). Is not a great performer with low impedance headphones, more suited to high impedance gear.

A bit of a side statement: the people who know how and have the equipment to do audio measurements fairly well don't cover many cell phones.
The people who have the phones for review rarely take enough audio measurements, or take the wrong ones.
Seeko reviews a few models of phones with a dScope 3 analyzer. They're all Korean versions.
Anandtech's got an AP tester, but they haven't used it in their reviews.

>>58187901
Your friend might have different priorities than you do.
I'd rather be able to sit comfortable and listen - being able to turn my head sideways. With the AKGs - nope, like wearing a cast on your neck ^^

If only wireless :(

If I wanted something similar in terms of sound with HD650, but better sub-bass extension, what headphones should I be looking at?

>>58188073

Get a bluetooth adapter with the money you save.

>>58188095
Would that wreck my sound at all?

Haven't been on the headphone/audio scene for 3 years. Anything new or just the same shit as usual?

>>58188120

I honestly have no idea; I grew up drowning in cables, and that's how I'll die. I imagine that bluetooth adapters can't be any worse signal/quality-wise than normal bluetooth headphones would be, though. I'm sure that someone else can chime in with an informed answer, though.

>>58188153
Fair enough, though I'd be using these on pc so would the Bluetooth adapter still be the way to go? I might just get these anyways.

I won't use them for travel so the shp9500 being open headphones is not a detriment BUT I have heard the m40x are the best closed headphones for <$100, and because I can get both for the exact same price, therein lies the problem posed in my question. In short, I want the one that sounds the best between those two.

>inb4 you can't compare closed vs open

>>58187916
>HD600 would be friendlier to large heads if the headband had less clamp.
Is the headband the same as on the HD650? Because I ever so slightly bent the metal parts on mine, you can lessen the clamp as much as you want.

>>58188204

That's up to you. Unless you absolutely can't do the cable, it has a 1.5m cable that terminates in a 3.5mm jack on either end, so even if the normal cable is too short/long for you, you can literally just get a replacement of any length you desire from pretty much anywhere.

>>58188090
An equalizer, a new 650, other headphones would be very different. Since no one seems to care about that suggestion:
Some people might suggest Audezes, the LCD-2 as an example, I don't think so. Open Audezes usually have a flat low and aren't limited in bass extension (usually). They really lack the 2-6kHz range compared to 650.
Then there's the Elear, more midbass than the Audezes. Serious treble dip.
Oppo PM2 might fall into a similar category, memory a little fuzzy

A bit of a different suggestion is the Mr Speakers Ether.


>>58188123
Some new brands, some older ones refreshed their product line (ER-4->4SR/4XR, the entire Hifiman product line), some new discount models, and attention refocused on neglected models.
Some are nice changes, more planar dynamics. As for a revolution? I don't think so.

>>58188246
Different material. It's loosened up over many years of wear and abuse, so the reverse has become a bit of an issue

>>58188366
>ER-4->4SR/4XR
The XR looks really promising as I always loved the Ety sound and would bump up sub 200hz a bit. Will have to find the time to go audition.

Why does the Samson SR850 require 32 Ω and the Superlux HD668b requires 56 Ω, if they are the exact same driver????

>>58185993
COP's stock pads are worse for comfort [better isolation tho], and theyre usually a bit more expensive

other than that COPs are just 770's with less highs.

>>58186189
You're fucking retarded. Compare their VRMS, not a useless impedance stat

>>58186735
I've been able to run 250 ohm 770's off my phone.

>>58188736
Probably different wire thickness.

>>58187223
If you like the bass, get Custom One Pros, and put some DT 770 pads on them. You'll get that GOAT low end, but with less highs. 770 pads will keep the headphones breathable.

DT770's or 250's? Want something a bit bassy or vshaped. If better suggestions, can spend up to $300.

>>58187443
Get a portable amp. FiiO makes a fairly good one. Can't remember the name.

Only if you need a PORTABLE bassy pair
otherwise DT 770's or COP's do better.

>>58188736
Where did you see that they're the same driver?

>>58188337
I'm assuming any adapter will work as long as I have a way to connect to my pc aka via a Bluetooth dongle.

I was reading a bunch of comments on forums/reddit/g archive about how the SR850 drivers were just rebranded superlux's. But then I came across this post: http://www.head-fi.org/t/713050/superlux-hd668b-or-samson-sr850 (scroll down to bottom of the page). So I don't know what to believe anymore.

>Some people assumed they're identical to the HD668B (cup design shared some more similarities than with HD681 line). However they are not.
>Driver magnets and impedance are different, 32 ohm for the SR's and 56ohm for the HD668B.

Are you guys joking or something with the meme shit? I can see you right through the samefag, really

>>58188709
Buy the source then?

Just kidding, even if you buy some certain albums there is a chance for 160-128kbps MP3s, even as a wave file.

Which album is that? touhou mixes?

i think so.

these other bitch ass companies need to start making planar and kick out chifiman. charging $100+ship to fix their garbage headband.

Anyone have an opinion on the Ultrasone HFI-15G S

Is there anything that beats the Koss Porta Pro in that price range in terms of overall sound quality and comfort?

>>58189067
orthos are old crappy tech, there's a reason why no respectable company produces ortho headphones

M50x vs Shp9500

Stuck between Jaybird X3 and More1 Triple Driver. I can get X3 for 130$ (unless bestbuy still has on sale) and the More1 for 65$ at Costco sale online.

My main concern is sound. Apparently the More1 sound really good, crazy good. But the X3 are (I think) completely adjustable in every way, so shouldn't that mean they are potentially able to sound just as good if tweaked right? And I'd love the convenience of wireless but hate charging. However I bet they are higher quality than the More1 which is Chinese shit.

What is the most important for noise isolation? The pads?

>>58189882
Pads and cup construction.

vmoda m100's and dt 770's are supposedly pretty bassy. The 770's also have very present treble.

Why is Fidelio X2 the best and most versatile headphone?

Find an objectively better headphone under 1000$, I dare you.

Ask Philips for replacement parts. Get rekt. Shoulda went with German made headphones :^)

>>58190760
>he still doesn't know about the 3khz cut out in the treble due to ear canal resonance
I tried to teach you NoHeadPhone fag, also see that the treble does not extend above the mids?

>>58190808
Wont need replacement parts like your nazi headphones.

>>58190791
You did well except for the dac, unless your motherboards dac is fucked or you listen through your phone, you don't need a new dac, dacs are 99% similar between a motherboard and a high end separate dac. Amps are a different story, but these don't need one.

>>58190808
well, they are one of the best built set of cans out there, so I should be good

>>58190891
yeah, my laptop's speakers and aux in are fucked.
I was gonna get a cheap SYBA USB or something like that , but I figured what the hell, might as well spend a little on a good DAC

>>58190930
Yes I guess its fine, the sabre mini dac for 20-30$ shoulda been fine also. What hp's are you upgrading from?

>>58190983
lol, my current headphones are PS Gold Headset since I'm a lifelong PSfag, and coz I can plug the USB dongle in the laptop.

>>58188552
They sound gread, bass is precise and powerful, though i think highs are a bit lost.

M80's are my personal favourites of the modas, clear as crystal and with the right amp, even the bass is kicking

>>58191021
>PS Gold Headset
shieeeeeet, havent heard them but I will bet the X2 will be a fucking life changing experience upgrading from those. I thoughtt they were just going from my sennheiser hd518s Enjoy!

I actually ordered them 21 September for £97.49 + postage but it got cancelled

Just bought these, and they sound AWESOME. Thank you, have a nice day.

I currently own the old magni+modi pair and the AKG k702's are my main open cans.
Looking for some closed cans, been thinking the dt770 250ohm's, any input lads?

>>58191209
Damn, that would have been a steal. Got mine new for 129 pounds shipped and I thought that was a robbery, since they usually are over 200, but they are worth it at that also imo since they dont need an amp like hd600 or hifimangs

>>58191298
No problem, but they are not koss though.

>>58190213
go find a used XB1000

is 559 a new 558

>>58191985
yes

The m40x are not the most isolated, but do help. Possible my ears are a little too big too. Would buying better pads help? Though I can't buy the HM5s from here.

>>58192088
ok cool ill get one
would i need an amp or something else not included in the box
