K7XX is pretty good, but light on the bass (though not compared with other open AKGs) without some EQ. HD6XX is also a good value, especially if you're looking for a darker sound signature.

The Sennheiser HD 449 is sold out in my country, I can get a HD 419 for about the same price (around 460 moneys).

Will the difference be that great? 449 has a diaphragm, 419 doesn't.

Also I can get a HD 280 for 630 moneys, but I can't find much about its specs, I think it doesn't have a diaphragm and people keep whining about it's flatness, so maybe the 419 would be preferable to the 280.

Any opinions? This will be my first pricey pair of headphones, by the way, so I don't know what to expect.

I'm not sure of any hardware solution, but you may be able to find software so you can pass the Xbox audio through your computer. I know that doesn't help much, but I think it's the only really feasible approach.

Just received my Monoprice 3.5mm extension. It works perfectly other than the fact that the signal cuts out partially when I just barely nudge the female end where my headphones are plugged in.

That might be why, give it a little time to get used to how they sound and then try your k240's and see if they still sound just as good.
Their sound signature might also be closer to what you like than your k240's.

Whats the difference between Sennheiser 280 Pros and 380 Pros besides price?
>>
>>58541509
Price doesn't correlate with sound quality. I don't find them good sounding but if you do that's fine. They have a very common sound signature for in-ears. Abundance of bass and spiky, uneven response the higher you go in frequency. Their form factor is rather bulky and doesn't fit well into my ears and they have awful tips.

>>58541529
X2's response is less linear. It has a bass tilted sound whereas HD 800 comes with a broad boost in bass-midrange, notches down in upper midrang and then has a prominent peak around 5-6 KHz. X2 is very sensitive, easily powered with mobile devices. HD 800 has considerably lower sensitivity so you might have to get an amplifier. Both have replaceable parts past one batch of X2 which had glued on earpads. It's probably obvious that both are open back circumaural headphones. Quality control on the Sennheiser is very good.

>>58541571
You think there's some special sound signature for rap/hiphop/r&b/whatever?

>>58542994
Oh ok, thanks for the info
>>
>>58542963
xpt100/hm5 is just straight up better than m50x in every single way
>>
>>58542939
Why?
>>
>>58543155
because it's the focus of the music, as such getting a headphone that puts it forward is better suited for it than one that does the exact opposite
>>
>>58543167
That doesn't work. If it's the focus in the music already, why do you have to emphasize it even further by getting bassy pair of headphones? Shouldn't that be done already in the mix if it's so important? Isn't it done? Is higher emphasis somehow better than less emphasis?

The only real problem would be if the headphones(or any audio device) completely lacked a part of response but this isn't very realistic past things like poor earbuds, speakers integrated into computer monitor/TVs etc which aren't designed for music listening in the first place. I also have beef with broad generalizations of genre and frequency ranges of emphasis. A lot of music covers a very broad range of the audible spectrum but this isn't always the case and varies immensely by not only genre but also each individual artist, album and track or even masters of the same track. I don't think you can make a generalization like this and tieing it into headphone response makes even less sense.

I already checked a bit around, and I found the following: Sennheiser Urbanite XL, Momentum 2, AKG K545. People also proposed Beyerdynamic DT-770, but don't know if I should take the 32 or 80 ohms (250 is to high without amp I guess). Also I don't know if it isolates much.
They also provided Bose QC35, but I heard that wireless reduces audio quality, and anyway I don't really need wireless.
So /hpg/ what other headphone do you recommend, or which one should I take? I'm quite lost here, don't know that much about it.
>>

>>58543660
>DT 770
V-shaped headphones. Boosted bass, treble spikes.
The Custom One Pro would work a bit better, has less treble. Also has that bass slider control.

>AKG K545
Basically a shitty DT 770.
K550/551/553, but the K545 in particular are terrible headphones. Not to be recommended, even if you like V-shaped headphones.

>Momentum/Momementum 2 over-ear
Eh, headphones with notch filter/intense cancellation are also pretty lame.

>Urbanite XL
It's not quite notch filter, but it has a severely reduced treble compared to the bass.

>QC35
Somewhat decent sounding if you leave ANC or wireless on. The sound profile is more misshapen without the digital correction feature.
ANC is more suited to travel and commutes, and QC35 is a bit on the small side as far as a home use headphone is concerned.

Other warm options, the Brainwavz HM5 (larger) and NAD HP50 (smaller),

Thanks a lot for this huge review!
Quick question, is there a difference between The One Pro and the One Pro Plus? If I go for those I'll probably buy some velour pads instead of the leather ones.
Checking the HM5 as well.

Plus just has extras like customization plates and an attachable headset microphone. Pretty irrelevant shit unless you need a microphone.

If you do get velour pads, get 770 pads or HM5 Hybrids. Those seal well. Normal velours don't really.

I own the mdr 1a since yesterday (109€ after cashback). I like their sound but i have one critical note for on the go: wind noise is fairly bad when riding a bike. Plugging the base vents on top ceetainly helps but reduces the bass too much for my liking.

Also not as uber comfortable as i had hoped but certainly managable. I probably have huge ears or something. They dont fully fit in the cups

They are V-shaped, as long as they seal right, which is a major issue with them.
>>
>>58546396
they have no bass and no treble how the fuck do you possibly come the the conclusion that they are v shaped?
>>
>>58546412
wat

ever seen them measured? they are all v shaped if(like the anon earlier said) they seal.

>>58543970
Sennheiser but it's really not an aspect you should focus on.

>>58546532
definitely is, especially when you understand that the bass boost is or can be even stronger with proper seal and when you take into account the ID compensation. that's also not the only measurement, see >>58546622 for example.

Dotted refers the the original K550, the solid line is an equalized headphone.

>>58546702
>everyone says
clearly not. why would you take people's word for it anyway?
>graphs
no, you haven't seen enough, can't really read them and/or don't quite understand the seal problem those have as well as the compensation used on different sources to say that. there's a good paper on the wiki about measurement of leakage effects where the headphone is featured.

i don't have them and i really don't see how this could matter. they sounded quite bassy for me(K550) when i auditioned them. im one with a lucky head shape.

According to most reviewers, 80 Ohm has more bass, but I think that there really isn't a big difference between one version and the other.
> Are the high's really harsh on Beyer's like I always hear?
Yes. You can't really say that you like or are used to treble until you try any Beyer.

>K701
>the only headphone
K701 is known for its bump around 2-2.5 kHz.

Blocked meatus measurement is fancy way of saying we took a mic and plugged it into the ear entrance, sealing it off.
It lacks the contribution of the half-open ear canal resonance* that can be seen at DRP**, and has other effects from position.
This is a test that revolves around leakage and fitting, lower frequency effects, so that isn't much an issue.


*It's convenient to think of the ear canal as a transmission line, a tube. Behaves as though only one end is open, so resonances show up at odd number multiples of the quarter-wavelength. They start from 2.7-3.0 kHz, followed by 8-9 kHz, and so on.

There is this feature on samsung galaxy phones - adapt sound. Essentially it measures your hearing at various frequencies and adjusts sound to you ear's characteristics.
Now, is there a program for windows which would do the same? Seems like a nice and easily implementable feature.

Well it usually hypes the bass and make it a little boomy, even when i cheat, say that i hear everything to make it flat the bass is a lot different when is off so i rather turn it off and use the EQ, i mostly lower the highs to get more volume and bass.
>>
>>58549208
Well I guess it will make sound better for normies, but if you have real preference on sound you will be better set by using EQ yourself

>>
>>58548321
I just want something that's neutral that has some bass, not overpowering. not sure about Treble but I don't want a headphone that is fatiguing.

as for open or closed, I would prefer closed, but I'm willing to take a chance for open.

I don't know about the HD650, but I have the HD600 and I'm not enjoying them at all. Currently about to return them to Amazon. They are just flat and lifeless, I didn't really love them for any genre I put on. Almost no bass, but the treble isn't very "sparkly" either. Which just creates the most inoffensive, boring headphone. That's not even getting started on the comfort, or lack thereof. They will grip onto your head and they won't let go, even after stretching them. The 650 doesn't seem to be any different in that way either.

So why did I buy them when they clearly weren't for me? Well, I heard many times that they go well with any genre of music, and the reviews were almost all positive. That's technically true, they're so neutral that nothing is accentuated, making them really only recommendable as a monitor headphone.

They're a good reference headphone, if you want to hear every detail, then these are nice. But for casual listening? No. I hear the 650 is the more "fun" of the two and has more bass (should've gotten those), so maybe those if you're intent on only getting one of these two. But keep in mind you may not find them very comfortable.

Yeah, ok, but what I want is to adjust for ear hearing curve. I am interested in what it would sound supposedly as close to source as possible.
And I believe this is the most scientific and real way to get to the "real" sound. It measures your hearing threshold on many frequencies and produces a hearing curve. The best part is that it solves two problems at once, firstly the inadequacies in headphones and secondly inadequacies in you ears.

I've read that they're a headphone that scales well with the source so if you've got a good amp they'll sound good.

I have the HD598 and the HD600 the HD600 is better at higher volumes, at using EQ, is more open and has better separation, can it hear louder without tiring me. That aside, having both made me realize how great the HD598 are, tone wise is almost the same, the HD598 is 10/10 confy vs 9/10, for half the price is great, HD600 is only if you want more, or you work on an audio job, but it´s already hitting the point of dimishing returns

That's the thing though, I see maniacs "pairing" them with $300+ or even $1000+ amp/dac's to "get the most out of them". Who in their right mind would do that? You're better off buying a different headphone instead. Even if it did marginally improve the sound, it's never worth spending even more than the headphones themselves.

>>58550312

I briefly owned the 598 about a little over a year ago, then I just recently got the 600. Based on recollection, honestly I don't remember them being much different. At more than twice the price, I can't personally recommend the 600 over the 598. The 600 seem even less comfortable as well. At the $300 range, I think there are other options people should consider now days.

Won't 48ohm be too much for a smartphone?
>>
>>58550632
Impedance means nothing alone. I can drive 250Ohm 770's off my phone but not 50Ohm T50RP's.
>>
>>58550632
Absolutely not, they drive wonderfully off pretty much anything
also ohm isn't always the definitive answer

On the subject of 1A's, I just got mine today.
They're nice for what they are but I don't think I could ever justify spending $300 on these, I feel sorry for anyone who has. Definitely worth $150 though, I thought the comfort was just an exaggeration but the pads and headband feel amazing and they weigh nothing.

>Logitech UE6000 for 40€ on amazon.de
Why are these so cheap? (they were sold for 200€ initially) Are they a good idea for a backup headphone or is there are reason for their price?
>>
>>58550771
The sound probably isn't worth 300 no, it's nice and punchy sure
But the fact that these are the only cans I can stand wearing for more than 45 mins really made it worth it for me, and if I can't even wear my headphones what the fuck am I paying for them

They sound weird after using X2's for the last month but I've been using them for the past few hours to adjust to the sound and while it's not bad I feel like I paid more for the comfort and accessories, but I bought them for mobile use and they fit the role perfectly.

I'm thinking about picking up a pair of MSR7's, but as I have no real option of trying them at my location, I'd like to ask (preferably someone that has at least tested them) about their sound signature.
While I don't really like bass heavy headphones or overly bassy sound in general, I'm a bit worried about the highs, as I have pretty sensitive ears. Some reviewers also say they sound a bit "sharp" at higher pitch levels.
Can anyone alleviate or confirm my concerns?
>>
>>58538655

Ok here is the rundown
I'm looking for an "upgrade" and I'll try to be as specific as I can
Current setup:
Dt990 pro 250 ohm
Schiit dac and amp
What I want:
I want crisp sounding headphones, something that would really wow me. I primarily play games and I love the sound quality of these headphones but I keep feeling like I'm missing something.

To clarify: I like clear crisp highs, but I fear they may sound too sharp or piercing (my foremost concern) at high freqs.

>There's a very annoying thing about headphone users, that they tend to assume high impedance to be more "difficult to drive".
>I really wonder how this came to be. Was it just the realization that many high impedance(say above 300 ohm) headphones often come with a lower than usual voltage sensitivity. Or was it the amplifier spec sheets listing silly upper ranges of load impedance(like FiiO E10K's "up to 150 ohm"). Then this causing misconceptions about electrical resistance and after being repeated enough times on forums it became pseudoscience.
The really funny thing is that your smartphone is far more likely to clip at full output with sub-30 ohm loads.

>>58551064
MSR7 is an odd little thing.
It lacks treble and it is slightly sharp. My solution to the "brightness" is to add more treble, makes it much easier to listen to.
It was also somewhat tight fitting, but my head is large.

This reminds me, they need to ship out the SR9 already.

>>58551239
>What would be the benefit of this?
~4 dB sensitivity loss, which would usually be considered a con.
Stable sound even with really shitty headamps and receiver outputs.

>>58551269
In typical Earsonics (and Westone) fashion, they neglected the upper midrange and lower treble.
>>
My hd650's right cup sounds like it's vibrating inside, causing extra noise. Is there any easy fix or just replace it?

>>58551360
Thanks nig nog
Bit the bullet and bought the 600 ohm premiums
They fit all my criteria and they were "confirmed" to have a noticeable difference over the 250ohm ones with improvements on comfortability and quality of mids and highs with better treble

>>58551360
What you say seems to correspond to most reviews I've read. With sharp I guess people mean a bit clear or very audible and not overly harsh or piercing, do they?
Well, I'll just have to order pair and try for myself I think.

I want some headphones that blow my fucking mind. I want to put these things on and be like HOLY SHIT. I've had ath-m50, two pairs actually, a set of dt990, sony XBA-H1, hyper X cloud, which are surprisingly great for the cost, Senn HD201.

I suppose the DT990 came the closest to wowing me. I sold them a couple years ago though during hard times. Amp/dac too so I'll probably need a new one.

I'm looking at the Ultrasone pro 900, Oppo PM-3, and the Beyerdynamic Amiron home.
What else should I check out?
I listen to trance with high pitched vocaals primarily.

I went through their feedback, doesn't look too bad

If I've got a pair of ATH-A700Xs running off of my motherboard, how much of a difference will there be if I go out and buy a pair of HD600s and a dac/amp to go with it?
>>
>>58554669
Nah their feedback seems good, but well I mean I guess if it turns out to be fucked you aren't out a lot of money, and I'm sure they fuction correctly, momentums and the 558's at that price are pretty good honestly, I'd go with the momentums over the 380 pros, if I didn't have a bunch of headphones I'd pull the trigger on the momentums
