/hpg/ - Headphone Genera

I'm looking to pick up some DT770s, is there a discernible difference between the different impedance models?

Getting the 250 Ohm model would likely require a DAC/AMP as well, would this be a worthwhile investment over the 80 Ohm?

Is the oppo ha-2 actually good? Powering "anything" and good overall quality?

It's a bit expensive compared to the other similar dac/amps on the market. But if you disregard the price?

reposting from last thread, bear with me

What's hpg's thought about the pic related?
I can actually change them with amazon return system.
I'm waiting for Fiio X1 to arrive the next week.
Are RHA MA750 better?
Can you suggest me some other good earphones to combine with that DAP for mostly listen to electronic music in flac format?

>>58391864
Chifi sound. That's good.

Chifi build quality. That's bad.

>>58391864

Those are fine, but I personally would have gone with the MA750 for build and bass.

Don't fret, you did fine and if they do end up breaking on you, use the opportunity to try the MA750 or something else.

Let's try this again

I've had a pair of ATH-M50 for the last several years, nothing else of note. I like the sound but I can't wear them for more than 1-2 hours before I need a break because of the clamping, despite stretching them multiple times. It's about time I upgraded to something much comfier with similar sound quality.

>>58392244

Look for a good deal on the mdr 1a, i got as low as 180 last hollydays, anyway these are max confy without changing the pads, and are 10-10 portables

I use them for long periods without complaint.

>>58389476
They don't glue the pads anymore but there are still QC issues where one side is louder than the other so it's a gamble if you wanna buy them.

WAV files are any good?

And what if I convert a mp3 file into a WAV file, it will change anything insignificantly?

>>58392900
It's a serious question

please respond

>>58392362
I can get MDR-1A for about €120 which is as much as DT770s cost here. Is that a good deal?

>>58392900
>Wav is a lossless format, just like FLAC is.

And no, converting mp3, a lossy format, to lossless does not make any sense.

>>58392900
>And what if I convert a mp3 file into a WAV file
You'll only change the format while retaining all the information in the mp3. In the process you will multiply the file size. I see no reason to do this.

Should i just buy the WAV format from beatport for the highest quality and sound?

Heavily leaning towards DT770s. Do they have a decent soundstage?

I made my WS1100is to sound just like WS99 or even better. Crazy

>>58393282
>So how can i make the perfectest sound audio for my favo song?
By acquiring the original file in lossless format.

>Should i just buy the WAV format from beatport for the highest quality and sound?
If that's the only outlet, yes. Beatport blows but you do get what you want in this case.

Don't misunderstand lossless as some kind of clear path into audible improvements. Good lossy file sounds the same as lossless but only by getting the original file you can be certain.

>>58392497
Yes they're very comfortable

>>58393143
I'd say yes, sound quality is good. Consumer service I've heard not so good. Tried them on a store and the built quality felt good too. I ended up going for the HD600s though because they were cheaper.

I figured this was the best place to ask, but what're some good replacement earpads for the Audio Technica M series headphones that are comfortable but don't sacrifice sound?

What is the vocal range frequency? it literally bleeds my ears. I want to get rid of it through apo without killing the sound

My integrated sound card is causing buzzing when my headphone cord is angled a certain way.

Any recommendations for a simple external sound card for a regular pair of ATH-M50s? Is a TerraTec Aureon Dual USB good enough?

If you want to argue semantics then yeah whatever, you can return them. Still annoying to have to deal with getting a defective pair not once, but twice in my case, so I'm just saying that there's still the chance you won't get a good one.

It is a gamble, because it's a hassle and a headache to have to keep returning something because the quality control is just shit. There's no excuse for it on a headphone that expensive.

The pair I ordered had a channel imbalance issue, fuck if I was going to go through the hassle of trying multiple pairs until I found a balance pair. I returned that shit for a refund and bought an HD600 instead.

>>58394067
Is there really a noticeable improvement between a ~$25 DAC and a ~$100 DAC?

I'm neither a poorfag nor an audiophile, I just want to get rid of the interference without wasting my money on something that'll work poorly.

what's the difference between Sennheiser HD800 and HD800S?

>>58394882
they're dac/amps
they're basically all you'll ever need for audio equipment (other than speakers/headphones/earphones of course)
I feel like getting one of those dac dongles is a waste, because in the long run you're getting nothing out of it and it'll most likely break in a few years, maybe even sooner

>>58391411
No, It's only a slight improvement.

Though, if you're planning on getting other headphones or upgrading sometime in the future, it may be a worthy investment. You can get an O2 for $70 + Shipping off massdrop. You probably don't need a DAC.

>>58391829
What are you buying? If an Objective2, just build your own.

>>58391641
I'm actually thinking of getting these, wondering how the sound is compared to the x2's
Inb4 "x2's are better because they're open"

>>58392244
If you liked the sound of your M50's, get 770's. They're very similar in sound signature, but better in every way. Vastly more comfortable, huge velour pads, huge deep cups.

>>58393322
Yeah, it's not too bad. Above normal for a closed can, but nothing spectacular.

>>58393667
Its either the female jack in your soundcard being broken, or the male jack plug in your headphones.

I'd just say get something like an E10k, SMSL M3, or a Fulla 2. You get volume control, and those shitty USB soundcards are typically built like shit and often sound like shit too. Invest in something that'll last a while longer.

>>58397164
Get them if you want.

And if you think the sound is not good then just EQ the shit up. And If you still thinking this doesn't sound good then get the extreme audio cable with two female RCA to male aux.

>>58394061
Yeah, they're good. Listen to sound tests on youtube.

>>58396198
Only get M50x if you need portability, and will get new pads. Theyre uncomfortable as fuck

Get the 770 80 ohm.

>>58396608
sounds like aids

>>58397243
I don't want to have to do all that. I just want headphones with a strong bass but clear mids/highs. the x2 is another option but I'm afraid the bass isn't quite as strong as I want, and I also don't care for the v shape too much

Hey /g/, not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm looking into buying a sound bar for my mom's birthday. my budget is about $300 but i would like to keep it closer to $200. Basically just looking for something to replace the surround sound system my dad put up in the 90s.
Thanks in advance.

>>58397347
They have strong bass, but not overwhelming like nigger's bass. The sound in other hand is pretty good if you get the EQ right spot on

>>58394772
But that can happen with any brand you retard. I've had defective HD650 in the past. The best brand when it comes to quality control is probably Beyerdynamic as Germans are anal about that stuff.

AAAAA, so tired of the autobid bullshit and shitbay in general. I don't want to pay more than 250-300USD.

If you go through the trouble of proxy buying on YAJ can you get better deals on Stax compared to ebay? Anyone experience with advice?

>>58397529
are you implying Beyerdynamic is more German than high end Snapheiser?

>>58397367
which has stronger bass? I assume the ws1100is because its only semi open instead of fully open like the x2?

>>58397599
it has air chambers for more bass production and for better clarity overall. It's like splits the sound from the bass for better audio quality so the sound can sound better. And thanks to EQing up it can sound even better.

I'm just telling what I experienced.

>>58397597
High-end models of any brand are usually tested by actual people before getting into the market as it's a reputation thing. With low to mid-fi, it's a lottery.

Reminder that HD650s are available for $299 on Amazon,

You can also get them for $260 if you order from Amazon UK and don't have an issue with waiting a bit longer. £196 to £211 after currency conversion & shipping costs, though this may vary for you.

>>58397671
I was trying to say:

''The sound can sound better even while the bass interrupts''

>>58397671
do you mean better clarity and audio quality than the x2?

>It's like splits the sound from the bass for better audio quality so the sound can sound better
You have no idea how sound works.

I still dunno, sound is subjective anyway

If you pay with GBP instead of using Amazon's currency converter, and you'll pay much less. Your credit card company will charge you based on their rates instead.

Estimated arrival is January 20th for me, though you'll probably wait a similar amount of time ordering from Amazon US, since they're apparently back-ordered.

>>58397882
>Then how sound should work?
Google it, friendo.

>could you dictate what i said but better?
No. There is no way of saying what you said 'better', because its not even correct in the most basic form. Saying "It's like splits the sound from the bass for better audio quality so the sound can sound better" isn't even grounded in reality. It doesn't "split the sound from the bass". Even if it did with a crossover, which it doesn't, that doesn't somehow give better audio quality, otherwise all amazing highly praised headphones would be doing the same.

>>58397908
Nah, they're fairly efficient. They'll benefit from a good amp, like most headphones, but they dont really need one. Planar or not.

Impedance alone has no affect on a headphone needing a separate amp.

>>58398033
So why they have air chambers? just for some fancy stuff?

Or how about they will create the technology for the perfect headphones and then you can split the sound from the bass.

I haven't tried the anime headphones but I do have a pair of DT 770 which is another bassy closed-back. I prefer the bass of my X2. Sure it doesn't sound like a big black cock trying to deflower your ear canal but I actually "feel" that bass and it goes pretty deep. I guess that's due to their wider than usual frequence response so the bass rolls better and deeper, maybe the cup acoustics contribute as well.

is the philips x2 good or not?
If its not, what alternative would be good?

>>58398076
>So why they have air chambers?
What are you calling an 'air chamber'? Do you mean a literal part of the cup in which air resides? Almost every headphone on the market has this.

>Or how about they will create the technology for the perfect headphones and then you can split the sound from the bass.
That sentence is completely illegible. I assume English isn't your first language, but can you try again?

>>58398115
Yes, they're good. Alternative would be DT 990's, or HE400S with good sealing leather pads. X2's are probably the nicest out of the bunch, especially without EQ.

>>58398138
>Almost every headphone on the market has this

Can you say it again but this time more coherently? thanks

>>58398058
My understanding was that if you could hear stuff fine then you don't need an amp unless it's a special scenario (planars I've also heard people discussing how the k7xx benefits from amping). Do you have any suggestions on an amp that suits this headphone? After doing some research I was thinking of going either with a little dot I+ or an o2.

>>58398256
Thanks, anon. I guess I'm just mostly worried still about how I'll react to them. I'm sort of finicky about having stuff on my head (yet I'm fine have ear buds in for whatever reason).

>>58398367

SHP9500's are turbo-comfy, so I think you'll be fine.

>>58398355
Theoretically, yes. An amp /should/ just make shit louder. Though in practice a good amp will often be closer to transparency than onboard. Often with a lower output impedance too.

I'd go with the O2. Cheap, and a really transparent amp. I dont like the ODAC, but O2 is one of the best priced amps on the market, depending on where you are. I wouldn't go with the Little dot until you have a nice solid state. Tube amps are a different experience all together, and you really need a benchmark to base your decision if you like the tube sound or not.

If you like a warmer sound, you may want to look at Schiit's options. Magni is a bit warmer than the O2. Not quite as well priced, but that depends on where you are.

plzrespond
>>58398255
plz respond

>>58398443
Thanks for all the info. I had the same thought as you in regards to amp choice. The problem is that the O2 is pretty pricey here in Canada. The main reason I was thinking of going with the little dot is because not only is it cheaper but it's a solid state amp too. The tubes colour the output after the solid state has done its amplification. So I'm guessing it's not going to be that significant of a change. Not to mention there's tube rolling so I can always change the sound as I please. I think the main thing is that
I'm just hesitant in purchasing an amp in general. I'm not aware of how much of a "difference" it will make. I have pretty good onboard audio so it makes everything just more difficult to consider.

>sound was pretty good but small earpads and clamping force felt like shit
>was expecting this so also asked for and received HM5 earpads
>more than solved the comfort issues, but the increased distance from the drivers neutered the bass and overall fullness of the sound
>went back and forth between HM5 and original earpads for a week
>ordered a Philips SHP9500 because I wanted to try out open headphones without spending too much
>3 days later most satisfied I've ever been with a purchase relative to cost

If you're looking for out-and-about headphones that you won't wear for too long then I guess the m50x would be good but I already have good IEMs that fill that role.

TL;DR: order the SHP9500s and don't look back

>>58399218
Hello anons, to clarify it's a Youth Edition. Does it change anything?

>>58399218

its ok, but be warned some sell ripoffs

>>58391319
Can anyone guess if the new HD 4 series will be good or should I just stick to QC 35?

Feels bad, man. They do sound really nice though. Sucks to have autism ears.

What highend headphones + amp + DAC are the absolute endgame in quality?

Hello uhh I found a variant called Basic Edition. I've done some research and they say the Pistons 3 are better than the Youth Edition shit.

It's also on sale for like 10USD. Sounds like a great deal right? The vendor has 3 verified good reviews and 1 having a DOA product.

mfw i cant post links

>>58399344
You're the one who posted about that issue in a previous thread, right? That was also in reply to my post saying how much I loved them kek

Shame about your ears, these definitely have very shallow earpads so I can see why you have issue with them. Hope you find headphones that work better for you.

>>58399356

You will never have an agreed upon endgame for quality, as it is subjective by nature.

This is the realistic endgame, though: https://en-us.sennheiser.com/sennheiser-he-1

The only thing that could be considered absolute endgame is something crafted from the ground up to suit your personal taste.

Which brands have a THD of like 0.001%


None of my searches are helpful, everything is like "hurr it's >1% ok"

>>58399412
Brands are irrelevant. Look a the individual products.

>>58399401
Yeah, I'm the same guy lol - and thanks, I hope I do too. I'm actually wearing mine right now and I have a small strip of felt near the top of the inside of each cup. It's actually helping quite a bit and isn't affecting the sound (at least nothing that I can notice). Probably still gonna return them but if this feels noticeable better as I try this out for a day or so, I may just keep them. Glad you're enjoying yours though.

I think you're at the pricepoint where you're going to get diminishing returns

I see the SHP9500 being compared to the HD 598's, that true?
Ive been eying the 598's and was about to pull the trigger but I just really dont know if theyre worth the $70 price difference, just to get good sound with a wider soundstage than my closed backs

That's a good point...

Hmm, well is there a new guide people follow nowadays that display certain headphones at a specific price point? I see what the problem I'll face is, I guess I'll have to spend more than $200-250 on a pair to experience more right?

>>58400169
>No clue, not knowladgable on the difference
Open gives a more "airy" natural sound; closed is more precise with more bass. Open also tends to be more comfortable. Open usually wears cooler (like physically cooler). Also you'll of course have more sound leakage and be able to hear more outside noise with open, so if you're on buses a lot or something, that may be unenviable.

>>58400207
You're a nice grandchild, anon.

>>58400235
>spend more than $200-250 on a pair to experience more right?
yes and obviously this is subjective but that more is going to be "very little more"

IMO if you make the right purchase the sweet spots in audio are
500-700USD for headphones + amp/dac
100-250USD for IEMs

It's hard to quantify fidelity but after a certain pricepoint it just starts to be a status thing to own more expensive gear. Even studios are stuck at certain industry standards for this reason.

For me, I just want to own electrostatics. It's more of a hobby/collection item than it is a serious audio purchase.

>>58400302
I would prefer closed then. Not a big fan of outside sound when I am listening to stuff.

>>58400309
In that case, I take it the Objective amp is dated? I was hoping to continue using it and purchase a new pair of headphones instead

Not him, but I've got one, too.

Solid hardware, the UI is basic but fully functional. Love the combination of tactile buttons and scroll wheel, plus you can set which buttons you want to function while it's in its hold mode, which is aces. I've been using it daily for over a year and have yet to have an issue. Just keep in mind that there's no internal storage, so you'll need an SDXC card. I used to get the occasional freeze (like, once ever two months) but haven't had that issue since the latest (and last) firmware update.

It's just a good, solid, affordable DAP. It's only ~10 hours of battery, but unless you really need to go longer than that without charging, it's not an issue.

>>58400463

how different do the 598cs sound from the se? I have the se right now and love em but they are open back so I couldn't use them out of the house

>>58400728
>sennheiser
both are shit

>>58400728
Theyre quite dark, and are muddier than the normal 598's already are. I'd rather take M40x + HM5 pads for outdoor use, especially since they fold and are built better.

>>58399218
>>58399266
worth

>>58400728
use em outside anyway, fuck the police.

im not digging the shallow soundstage on the 598cs. music, movies, and games is really non immersive.
actually thinking of returning and going to the 598SE or to the ATH-AD700x on recommendation of gayming nerds

anyone have a pair of the ad700x, to compare?

>>58400990
AD700x actually have a relatively small soundstage for open backs. That said, their imaging is fucking phenomenal. You don't need a lot of soundstage for vidya, just an adequate amount. Imaging is a hell of a lot more important.

>>58397899
i have the 3 which are similar. they claim to be a V sound sig but they don't have as much of a mid/high end as expected since they are iems. sounds good on normie rap music

>>58397105
>You can get an O2 for $70 + Shipping off massdrop.
Massdrop wants me to sign up just to look at what they have, what's the fucking deal man?

>>58401125
Yeah massdrop is a cunt. I think the drop ended recently sadly, though several places have DIY versions for a bit cheaper than the massdrop prebuilt.

>>58394061
I got mine last week. It's pretty damn good, but it seems quiet and activating boost in the mixer gives me a shitload of white noise. EMI? Couldn't tell you. I'm not sure if a USB sound card would fix this or not.

>>58401028
Then the imaging is what is killing the 598cs for me. even in movies or music it feels like all the sounds are way too close together. TO its credit theres a lot of individual sounds I can make out now, but its really unimmersive for the wideness of sound direction

Do you know if the HD598 SE has worse imaging? literally just about to buy both and test it, but id rather save the extra 150 if the 700x does better work.

>>58401182
Probably not EMI from the mic itself. Potentially in your ADC, though Its probably more likely that its either just a shitty mic, or a shitty soundcard.

>>58401160
>I think the drop ended recently sadly
yeah it did

the $129 on the jdslabs site seems promising but i'd rather wait it out

>>58401230
It's onboard realtek audio from an asrock extreme3. Pretty sure that narrows it down, no?

>>58399412
>Which brands have a THD of like 0.001%
Some amplifiers and DA-converters are capable of THD that low within a certain bandwidth. More importantly, why do you care?

>>58401230
>>58401265
No, but for real though, think it's probably the crappy onboard? And what would you get to fix that?

>>58401243
Yeah, for $129 you may as well just get a Magni 2. They're only 99.

You can get a prebuilt O2 for $100 from Mayflower, though if you're planning to upgrade to harder to drive headphones in the future, the Magni 2 will give you a lot more headroom. Slightly more coloured though in my opinion.

https://www.mayflowerelectronics.com/shop/headphone-amplifiers/standard-objective2-headphone-amplifier/

Though you may want to wait for the next massdrop 'drop'. You get more customization and its still cheaper.

>>58401219
>Do you know if the HD598 SE has worse imaging?
Worse than what. The closed 598? Probably not. Slightly better potentially. I haven't used the 598C, just the SE, but imaging is a lot more based on driver positioning than materials, and they dont change that between the C/SE.

Worse than the AD700x? God yes. the AT-ADx line has some of the best imaging for money, bar potentially the Superlux 668b. You can get AT-AD500x as well if you dont want to spend $150 more. They're all fairly linear upgrades until you get to the 1000x/2000x.

>>58401303
wow, thanks

>>58401265
>>58401298
I really don't know much about onboard. Most of /hpg/ doesn't. I'd doubt its your onboard though. Try it on different devices. Using your phone to record with the mic might be worth giving it a go.

Superlux HD668b or HD681 red version? I want open headphones of that price range that have the punchiest bass and mids whilst remaining clean

>>58401430
668b has punchier low end. Both have uncomfortable as fuck pads though.

>>58401325
yeah I was asking if the HD598se had worse imaging than the ad700x

well I guess that settles that.
I really didnt want to buy the 598 AND the 700x's to test them both out.

but fuck me, now I'm considering the 900x instead of the 700x for $40 extra

668b's are only decent for vidya due to their amazing imaging and soundstage. They're uncomfortable as fuck with stock pads. Superlux 662 EVO are the best affordable headphone they make in my opinion. Neutral-bright-ish, with good stock pads, and a good sound. 668b's are treble cannons with a midbass hump. Great if you dont care about highs, and even greater once modded. 662 EVO's are just a better all round choice in most cases though.

Superlux are great platforms for mods. Tons of documentation all over the place.

I want an amp that has enough power to fully drive the HD600, everywhere I read people say the e10k is just not powerful enough. Plus, with the Magni 2 it gives me the extra headroom in case I should buy any other headphone down the line.

>>58406507

When I get the amp and headphone, I'll check to see the difference between the two amps. And should I decide there's no difference, then I'll just pay the restocking fee and return the thing.

I'd rather have an amp with more than enough power to drive the headphone + some than one that's not really recommended for it. If I fall for snake oil/headfi/reddit placebo meme, then it'll be on me.

I don't really know who to trust because "audiophiles" are so divided, one says one thing, and another says something completely different. So, I'd rather just tell with my own ears.

there'll be a difference ofcourse, the magni 2 is stronger

That's simply not true. Many manufactures of high quality headphones burn them in from the factory, so there's no more burning to do when you get them.

But to say all burn in is placebo is foolish.

this just sounds like something made up to answer tests that prove burn in doesn't work.
Alternatively, you might be confusing it with some QA test. Similar to how they test switches to see if they're up to standards

Not saying its conclusive 100%, but there is something to it, especially with dynamic drivers with big spiders.

Why would they waste time on this? On an ortho headphone nonetheless.

Can anyone help me out?

I don't know if it's possible to get a sound similar to AKG Q701's, but anything close would be great.
>Past headphones
Currently using MDR-7506. I didn't like them at first, but they've grown on me.
Had HD 558 before that, didn't like them and returned them.
Before that AKG Q701. Loved them, but couldn't afford to replace them at the time, so I sold them. I'd order them again now, but I want noise isolation.

Hello /g/. I bought some HD700's even though they always get bashed on here. The treble was INSANELY fucking too high but that was easily fixable and was the only problem. After I tweaked that they sounded amazing. I like them better than the 600/650, they have a far bigger sound stage. I can hear up, down, back, and, front a lot better and clearer. Pretty damn good if you can pick them up for cheap like I did.

>QA test
Also any QA test could be considered a burn in since its moving the driver. This would reenforce the claim that the most dramatic burn in only takes a few seconds.

>audeze
well, seeing as the only people who buy those are audiophiles, might as well "burn them in" so the audiophiles can jerk off over that.

It kind of reminds me of gluten free milk

>>58408710
I feel like there might be some validity to this, I think if you use headphones for literally the first time, it could have some oddities at the very very start, but it shouldn't last longer than a minute

definitely no need to specifically burn them in, especially not overnight or some retarded shit

>>58408719
I know that they are not the only company that have dedicated burn in rigs.

>>58393460
They are great. If you travel a lot/ work in a noisy env, its absolutely recommended.

There's absolutely no sodding difference between 6.3mm-3.5mm converters, right? I don't have to pay extra shekels for the official replacement part™?

What pads are those on the V6? And how much does it alter the sound? My stock pads are falling apart, and I imagine velour are much more comfy, but does it lessen the bass?

Recently I've bought a pair of used MDR V6. The pads are worn down, which kind of pads would you recommend?
I was considering brainwavz pads in memory foam.

>>58410508
Honestly the first day I got my V6 I switched out the pads.
But I can keep these things on 6+ hours, ears cool as a cuckumber

When will there be another headphone to contend with the HD800?

>>58409305
It's somewhat rare to be that low on amazon, about twice a year or so.

if you appreciate good sound*

if you want nobass you may as well get AKG shit

>>58397589
Yes you can get a better deal from YAJ if you have a little patience. I got a T1W amp in perfect shape for $177 just last month. It was about $300 in the end total with proxy fees and shipping (fucking $110 for shipping because of the weight)

Still, considering they go for 800-900, I got a steal. You can't even get a regular T1 or a T1S for $300 most days.

>>58411370

neutral is not no bass, hd650 is great though for casual and laid back listening, but hd600 is better for monitoring. Also he is wrong, hd650 is not for niggers

The 600 is as neutral is it gets. No niggabass, no harsh treble, no veil. Nothing touches it in it's price range, especially not headphones designed for the "urban youth" like the 650 and X2.

For you, Tyrone. Just because it doesn't rattle your thick noggin doesn't mean it isn't present and precise. There could be more sub-bass, but not at the expense of a muddle sound.

I don't listen to basketball American music anyways.

>upper midrange hump that makes vocals sound like shit

Vocals sound beautiful on the 600, especially when the mixing is good. Listen to better music.

I bought pic related, but they are uncomfortable to the point I have stopped using them.

What pads are recommended to replace what's on these?

They look like DT250 pads, which are a common swap.

ignorance is bliss i guess

Why have a headphone hanger? Is it just a dedicated spot so you never misplace them or something?
