Inquiring again, since I posted near the end of the last thread.

I already got one answer, THANK YOU!.
The Superlux HD-681 EVO are semi-open, however. I'm looking for something closed.

They do sound nice, though. I've been looking at the HD-668B`s, which are the same price point, for [semi-]open headphones. But, that's a purchase for another time.

Right now, I'm looking to replace these very lackluster Sennheiser HD 201`s.

>You seem set in the "cheap is bad, more expensive is better" mentality.
Calm down Schill, there's no need for you to take my opinions on the Fulla 2 so personally.
Yes I have handled my friend's Fulla 2 though never bothered to try it out. The dial doesn't have enough resistance for me and the construction just didnt feel sturdy enough.
I'd rather not have the amp as a bottleneck and I dont want to bother wondering whether or not my headphone amp could drive any headphones I consider buyng.
You know I meant $250, why do you have to be a snarky and hostile individual, your attitude makes me unhappy anon.
Suggesting Modi2U makes no sense as I never mentioned optical inputs. Sure Modi 2 offers no value over Fulla and vice versa. I have no need to put a fucking DAC on layaway. Why would I buy a Fulla 2 over a Modi 2 if I intend to pair it with a full sized amp? Can you really not conceive a single reason why someone would find a Modi 2 preferable over a Fulla 2 when stacked with a Magni in their setup?

>>60026987#
I know what I want and need, I made it clear yet anons keep suggesting the Fulla 2 when I asked for anything but Fulla.

I don't even really need a DAC. All I was asking was if there were any good amps with a preamp other than the Modi 2 Uber. I understand why the Modi 2 itself is so heavily recommended for its value, but I don't know if the $50 price jump still puts the Modi 2 at a good value or if there are other competitive offerings.

>>60027276
Oh. My mistake. I either read it wrong, or the auto complete got the best of me. THANK YOU!, again.

>>60027330
No problem (:

>>60027325
You could buy a Vali, O2 amp, or like a little dot.

>>60027073
No one knows. Poorfags can only afford garbage from the late 80s like the HD 600s/650s, phones that used to be hi-fi but became outdated so prices were slashed and they were salvaged by plebs as "mid-fi" """cans""".

Maybe in 20 years you'll get an answer to your question. Until then delusional audiophools dodgy reviews and self testing is all you can hope for.

Currently trying out the sr850, but I feel awful, I probably won't be able to give a good review until tomorrow

So far they sound good, they fit good too, pretty comfy, but won't attempt to try them for a long period of time until tomorrow, feeling nauseous as fuck right now

>>60027277

Not that anon but:
Since they're the same thing essentially, besides aesthetics no.

And if you don't like the knob or construction of the Fulla 2, why would you want any Schitt product?

>All I was asking was if there were any good amps with a preamp other than the Modi 2 Uber.

>Can you really not conceive a single reason why someone would find a Modi 2 preferable over a Fulla 2 when stacked with a Magni in their setup?
I'm the same anon as before. Here you go:
1. It's a better investment because as a dac it's effectively the same but does other things too.
2. If stacked with an Uber, the metal of non-uber modi is different, cheaper-looking, which aesthetically won't help either.

So I strongly suggest either getting the uber version of the modi or the fulla 2. But I'm not the boss of you, so you get to do whatever you want.

*Magni 2 Uber
>>60027957
Sure thats nice but this is a meaningless investment to me if all I ever plan for it is leaving it on my desk. The smaller fulla 2 just makes things less stable.
I dont care if the modi is shit, it has no knob that could slip and make me deaf. Im not turning down the Fulla 2 because its plastimetal looks cheap.

But okay, I buy the Fulla 2, this does not solve my original question. I still need an(other) amplifier that can output far more than the Fulla 2 can.
>>60027361
Thanks for trying at least.

Which DAC/Amp should I get for my monolith m560's my buget is around 150-200

>>60028075
Did you ignore the post in the other thread where I suggested three combinations of items?

If the Fulla2 doesn't suffice as an amp, you can connect its dac output -> big amp.

>>60028073
I would say yes, especially in terms of comfort.

>>60028041
I know; I was only joking around with him, ya know? Honestly, your success on eq'ing depends on the quality of the headphone. A shittier made driver is going to be a lot less stable when compared to a better made driver. It's a lot like Silicon lottery with CPUs and GPUs, but instead on how refined the driver materials really are. Personally, I would recommend Apple earbuds, as Apple has spent years perfecting their engineering; and with earbuds costing a lot less to make compared to full-sized headphones, they are also going to made with a much higher quality of material too, considering how expensive they are. A simply eq, and they should at least be on par with HD 600s, if not, HD 800s.

>>60028125
really? thats very good lol im very intrigued.

>>60028067
Exactly

>>60028159
For that use, they're pretty nice. They're relatively neutral though slightly bassy and look pretty comfy.

>>60028159
I really like my pair.
Neutralish sound with slight mid scoop around 500 hz, and a bit of boost in the bass. Detachable cable always a bonus.

Can't speak to using them on an airplane, but they do a decent job of passive isolation.

You don't need one.

>>60028110
None of those suit me those either lack a pre-amp or are more expensive than the Magni 2 Uber. I am aware of the Magni 2 Uber.

Stop with the ifs. Lets just say they can not drive my 800Ω meso-sensitive meme phones

Any recs on:
1. Amplifiers with pre-amp out other than Magni 2 U at equal or lesser value
2. DAC/Amp combos under $250, $250 being the cost of a Magni 2 U + Modi 2/Fulla 2 stack

It's all perspective.

>>60028251
Hmm? Why would I need $300 headphones when I can eq my $60 headphones to match your $300 headphones?

>>60028327
because your $60 headphones are a distorted mess and the drivers aren't capable

>>60028260
it does look somewhat uglier (tackier) and the lack of removable cable kinda makes me think its worh the extra $20.
i have an iphone 7 and i would be using a straight 3.5mm to lightning cable as ive already lost the little adapter in one of my friends' cars for aux, it would make my life so much simpler
thanks though, if its the same as CB1 which is basically equivalent to the M50x, $60 for that is killer

Music is at its highest mastered on an HD600. Anything above that is literally placebo because whoever made the music didnt intend for it to be listened to on such hardware.

I dunno about this, that seems to be the main strike against them.
They're made of plastic, but they feel as sturdy as any other $100 headphones.

That said, if you buy direct or from Amazon, there's a 1 year warranty.

never found that to be the case, only reason i bought my ryzen system parts there were stock availability. they're alright with cancellations though and were happy to charge me the 15% restocking fee on a case that wouldnt fit my parts

>>60028450
nobody said AKGs were good though

>>60028405
Do your research retard. 600/650 the go to for monitoring, and if not, it is 99.9% of the time an even cheaper and shittier pair of headphones, usually from AKG or Sony's offerings. Little to no music is mastered on $1000+ headphones nor are audio interfaces that would give you that quality used. If you understood a single thing about audio production you'd understand this.

Usually I buy my cables from ascent, because they have free shipping, and the bult discounts mean that if you buy more than 1 cable, it's cheaper than anywhere else.

PBtech is great for 1 or 2 of something, but Ascent is the best for bulk cheap items.

>>60028498
I will get memed for saying this but any sound differences on headphones at higher prices are just due to the frequency response. But there may be reasons to upgrade such as comfort.

I have heard nothing but bad things about The Element.

Outright, considering specs and price, I see no reason to suggest it.

The O2/ODAC, maybe. That at least has the open hardware thing going for it.

>>60028612

>>60028564
Thanks anon.

It works well enough, I increase the amount of shelving as the frequency goes up.

Would I get better results by shelving less and cutting some specific frequencies?

>>60028630
incredibly overpriced for what it is

>>60028631
You will but you'll never stop like I am. Best stop now before it's too late.
>>60028608
Do you need USB again?

>>60028608
You're asking for a fucking gamer headset. If you had read the links from the OP, you'd know better than to do this. But you haven't and you don't, which is why we kindly ask you to go away.

>>60028639
I would actually perfer a non-USB one. It doesn't have to be a """headset""" per say, just headphones with a recommendation for a mic.
>>60028647
When did I say I wanted a gaymur headset? In fact, I would perfer to have a seperate mic and headphone combo. Does the word "headset" trigger you that much? Because if so, to clarify, I want some suggestions for a new headphones with a seperate microphone.

My uncle has a spare A/V receiver with video that dont work. Its some Onkyo model that I forgot but it has a 6.5inch jack in front and the specsheet advertised itself as having some amazing DAC. Is there any real difference listening to music through an A/V receiver's headphone jack and using a dedicated headphone DAC/AMP?

>>60028686
fill out the form in the op, kiddo
>>60028698
the receiver's headphone amp usually has high output impedance and it doesn't play nice with some headphones like hd598

>>60028686
headsets trigger us even if its not for gaymen
>separate microphone.
Clip on a $1-$3 lavalier mic to your shirt or headphone wire. The Zalman clip mic is shit.
Alternatively: BM800 or BM300 mic and buy a scissor arm.

>>60028708
is that all? Might just take it off his hands. Ill look at it again for the model number and see if they wrote anything about the phones jack output impedance

>>60028728
Headphones with flat impedance response aren't affected, like ATH-M50x.

AGK k702, k701, Sennheiser HD599, HD598se, HD558, HD559.

The left end will probably be too expensive, but sales or second hand could open them as possibilities.

>>60028795
For closed, HD380 Pro and DT770 are well-known reputable options.

The former is neutral-ish (actually a little bassy), the latter is v-shaped (exaggerated bass and treble).

Keep in mind open will always sound better vs cost, and will typically be more comfortable.

I got a pair of 770 Pro (32 OHM) and they're great, it's handy that they come with a thread on the 3.5mm jack for a standard quarter inch plug, which you can just screw straight on. They're pretty comfortable, and it's handy that the material over the headband can be unbuttoned and replaced. Audio quality is better than any I've experienced, although previously the most i'd spent on audio was £60 on some Bose earphones so maybe that's not a surprise.

Most people I know that go electrostatic never go back unless non-SQ related circumstances force them to do so.

Besides, the entry-level package from STAX keeps getting better and better. The new L300 Lambda sounds really good and can compete with last generation flagship Lambda SR-507.

Obviously these utterly destroy mid-fi shit like the HD600 with impunity. :^)

>>60029305
The problem with planar magnetic is the driver has to be heavily damped so it's not going to sound transparent as electrostatic no matter what.

Your phone is an amp and you can do that just fine. Limitations in power and voltage output will ultimately lead to the same thing: limitation in volume. A lot of modern smartphones have very good response linearity especially into high impedance. Bandwidth is a non issue, output impedance tends to be low and the potential trouble with that is mitigated by the headphone's high nominal impedance anyway. Unless you are limited by how loud you can drive them, there's likely nothing you are missing. What's left are potential problems with overloading distortion, noise and interference but these can plague any device and not just a smartphone. They are also very audible.

I need a pair of headphones - budget of < 50$, for music, video games and entertainment.

don't need a mic/buttons, going to use it on my desktop.

i've looked at the /csg/ infograph, but don't know which one i should get, which one is considered the best?
