What are the major differences between the Massdrop x AKG K7XX and the AKG K612?

Does anyone seriously buy Schiit products?

>>60098684
K612 is more neutral and therefore better.
>>60098730
Only retards do.

>>60098730
I have the fulla 2 and it's a great little amp with multiple uses for the price. Whats your problem with them? shit posting? or do you not like their expensive stuff?

Opinions?

>>60098684
K7XX = K702/K701/Q701 + 3 db below 100 Hz
K612 = a rebranded K601 with minor differences and a non-removable cable
K612 is better value.

>>60098785
You can get amps and DACs for less money with higher quality internal hardware. And I'm not even talking about chinkshit.

>>60098830
Like what? The e10k is the obvious one and that doesn't sound as nice as the fulla, (inb4 some autist tries to argue about it)

Give some examples please.

>>60098830
>amps and DACs for less money with higher quality internal hardware.
>not chink
Which? List some, anon. Fucking do.

>>60098794
I mentioned that I bought them in the last thread. They're not worth the money at all and the wires are disgustingly thin.

I'm not joking when I say piston 3's sound better. That's all you need to know friend. Please don't make the same mistake as me. You will be trying to post them back the same fucking day if you get them early enough. Buy some good chink iems or buy expensive iems that are highly regarded by multiple sources. I personally think buying expensive iems is retarded anyway, especially after trying those.

>>60098862
Anyone who can think straight would argue that.

>>60099025

Mr. Speakers and Schiit products are defacto pleb-tier. The build quality for both is also not up to industry standard.

>>60099241
Hell yes.

>>60099241
Yes.

>>60099025
The only expensive IEMs that are worth it are Etys and those are only worth it if you want a neutral sig. A niche within a niche.

Cheapo IEMs sound the same as most $1000 audiophile IEMs.

>>60098616
How are Sennheiser HD 25-II/Superlux 562's for casual music listening?

Any recommendations for a portable USB amp/DAC up to $150 USD.

>>60099241
That's pretty much the going price for them in the UK right now. I got them a little cheaper over a year ago.

So i'm looking for my first high end or at least really good headphones and i came here to get some recommendations and opinion which i should buy. I'm mostly using headphones for listening music and really like ambient music and think that getting open back headphones would be great idea. My budget is 100-300€ and what i have heard is that sennheiser HD 598 would be great but it seems that they dont sell those anymore so i'm considering to buy HD 599's. Recommendations to which ones i should consider buy ? Also my current headphones are creative fatalitys so what should i except from the new ones? Will i cry because the beauty of the sound quality?

>>60101613
HD600
You can find it at around €280 in Europe.

>>60101613
Only snapheisers worth purchasing are HD600. If you can't or don't want to get that look into AKG. k612/k702/k712/k7xx, depending on your budget and preferred sound signature.
HD598/599 are probably the most overrated headphones ever made, basically only consider those if you want to use them with your phone and look like a fucking moron for using overears outside.

>>60099571
Hell. I paid >300€ for mine.

<300€ for HD600 is very good.

>>60101613
>100-300€
>really good headphones
HD600, hands off.

>>60098830
Of course this absolute faggot can't provide anything. Imagine being this mad about a random audio brand lmao.

>>60099571
Buy them then, It's a pretty good deal.

>>60099864
>Gordon wants a pic of you and your brother.

Stupid twat

>>60101646
>>60101739
How much it would cost if get decent amp for it? The reason i have consider buying HD 599's is because they seem to work well even if they are just plugged to laptop?
>look like a fucking moron for using overears outside.
I'm looking them for inside use only.

>>60101829
HD600 are high (and pretty stable) impedance at 300Ω.

This means they will not be *very* loud, but will work well with pretty much any source, even shitty high impedance outputs (line out level).

Definitely grab HD600 if can at all. It's much better value/money than 599 and 598se. They're the Sennheiser headphone to get under 1k€.

>>60098616
Would I be able to use the dac on my FiiO K1 with a standalone amp like a Magni2?

>>60101829
If you ever think your sources suck (like, terrible noise floor from your computer), grab a cheap usb dac+amp device such as the Schiit Fulla 2 (excellent value/money) and that'll tell you how bad or not your sources were and have you well covered for non-deafening volume levels.

But definitely do not hold out for an amp or grab a cheaper headphone to allow for an amp. The headphone is what matters the most.

Is it a sin to ask about wireless shit here

I'm asking anyway

Budget sub 200, wanna use for my phone to listen to music on campus and at the gym, I'm in USA

I remember really wanting some ath-ad700 around three years ago, but even back then you could only get them for like £300 because they were already discontinued so I settled for my current sennheisers. From what I recall they were great in all respects, amazing for gaming, with the only criticism being the lack of pounding bass - I was never a fan of over-exaggerated bass so that's fine by me. My research back then seemed to point that the 700x model was basically inferior, they fucked some shit up - I don't recall what exactly but I think it didn't quite achieve the 700 quality, and the cord had problems or something.

Is there a better version out now? How's the situation? is the 900X or whatever actually good? I don't feel like spending another few hours digging through reviews, but if anybody has a good idea of the lineup that would be nice.

I feel like upgrading and I might just start trawling for some deals to see if I can't find something good.

What's the best Sennheiser headphone for under $100?

Has anyone ever experience a standard superlux 662?

HD650 are basically HD600 but bassier and darker. Still very good and relatively neutral, although obviously not as much.

They're very reputable, and excellent value for the money. Worth stretching your budget to meet them. ~350€ is feasible. For something better you'd have to look at >1k€, which is ridiculous territory.

The already recommended HD 650 is dark but not overly so. I don't think you want to the darkest one anyway. You could get a decent pair of something and EQ the bass and treble out.

Most in ear are dark and bassy. Especially in the cheaper end. KZ ATE is dark and (very) bassy.

Do you guys prefer Open or Closed headphones?

Don't know whether to buy DT 990 or DT 770 (Beyerdynamic)

>>60104327
Open are nearly always better, closed should be for work environments etc. Both of those headphones are decent but have piercing highs. Look into this hobby more, if you actually care.

>>60104327
Depends on the use and environment.

DT770 is less intense of a V-shape.
I own it and the highs aren't piercing, while people say the 990 does have some harsh highs.
Both should be pretty bassy.

>>60103818
E30 is closer to neutral than the E10 though still slightly V-Shaped

>>60103622
How'd you like the HD25's? I've been looking at the Superlux clone of the 25's to replace my PortaPros

i've got K7XX headphones and an E17 DAC/Amp. would there be any benefit to upgrading my E17? it's enough to drive the headphones so that's no problem. i just want to know if it affects sound quality basically.

>>60104369
>>60104372
Well i was looking for monitoring and reference headphones, but then i had to make the discovery that "studio headphones" seems to be just another fucking buzzword companies put in their headphones names to make money, and 99% of them don't actually have a neutral sound, or not even close to it.

Fucking annoying desu

>>60104429
For relatively cheap open neutral headphones, look at AKG K612's

>>60104327
>Do you guys prefer Open or Closed headphones?
Open. They sound better vs price, and are generally more comfortable too.

I do also own closed and use them where I need isolation (at work, to not annoy/be annoyed by other people), but I'm well aware it's a compromise I simply have no alternative but taking there.

>>60104429
For open, look at HD600 (very good) or k702 (somewhat bassy but decent).

For closed, look at HD380 (somewhat bassy but decent).

Look at their FRs to confirm.

Audioquest NightHawk/NighOwl or Audeze LCD series. Audioquest's headphones were tuned to have speaker like sound, so good bass/sub bass and rolled off treble. They literally go on their website how highs are boosted on most headphones and how they need no shit like that in their headphones. Here are measurements where you can easily see highs roll off. Also they look sexy as fuck.

Are there any good sound-stage headphones for gaming under 60$? or would it be better to just buy velour ear pads for my ath-m50's?

>>60106051
7.1 surround in headphones is a gimmick marketed towards gamers. In the OP, there's form you can fill to help with purchasing advice.
>>60106366
SHP9500, Somic MM185, Superlux HD 669/330/660/662EVO/668B/681(F/B) to name some.
M50's have no soundstage. Only get velour pads if you plan on keeping them and having better comfort for them.

>>60101829
>How much it would cost if get decent amp for it? The reason i have consider buying HD 599's is because they seem to work well even if they are just plugged to laptop?
It's kind of the opposite. HD599 needs an amp and HD600 doesn't.

What are the best headphones I can get for under 50$, with minimal sound leakage being a requirement. Can't get the superlux hd 662 evo at the moment because it is not on amazon, and I lost my credit card, only having it hooked up to amazon.

looking for something portable that

-i can use both at home and outside without looking like a bulked up idiot.
-needs to isolate well.
-budget is $500
- I'd rather it be something easy to satisfy without a dedicated amp or dac.
-I listen to a lot of rock and edm, but my genre tastes are well-rounded in general
-live in NYC

should i go portable over-ear or CIEM? over-ear would be something like an Oppo PM-3 or Meze 99, not sure what I'd get for a CIEM.

>>60106828

>>60098616
Looking for value for money headphones. Price range 50-150. They need to handle playing rather loud(about 50% louder from what you'd hear from standard earphones jacked to a smartphone). Pref over ear ones but can go either way if there's better value for lower prices with on ear ones. Never used anything above 20 buck from store headphones in my life. Use is for listening to music of a wide array of genres going from classical/orchestral to something more rough sounding like Justice(electro, bass-heavy i suppose?). You can use the following link for price references for my country http://www.skroutz.gr/c/1860/over-ear-akoystika.html?order_by=pricevat&order_dir=asc&price_max=200.0&price_min=50.001 Any help would be greatly appreciated i'm clueless on headphones.

>>60105771

The K240’s aren’t without their flaws. It’s kind of a headphone that grows on you. There’s a certain charm about these that’s hard to put your finger on. There’s so much history and quality behind the 240; it’s one of the most respected studio headphones in history, and I can see why. The sound is simply impeccable in most regards. Yes, it’s sort of a specialty set, but with what it’s meant for it really shines.

Consensus: Phenomenal mid-range, questionable build, decent comfort.

I bought these and they are COMFY AS FUCK. Also, the cable is detachable. They sound amazing after 10 hours of burn in. They sound almost as good as my DT-770. Not bass heavy as well, just great overall.

I got mine recently (2 month ago). A couple things:

- You might take days of exclusive use to get used to the sound and start enjoying it. After that, it's awesome.

Particularly, since you liked your HD598. (you can get new pads for that, they're replaceable and not expensive)

>>60110905
Thanks, got some alternatives? I'd like some options to look into before i buy.

>>60110946
HD598cs are more comfy, way less isolation, less neutral.

DT770 are way less neutral (somewhat v-shaped) and non detachable cable.

HD280 Pro are way worse overall (particularly the FR).

Can't immediately think of others.

I personally don't mind extra clamp, my head is pretty thin after all. I'm more concerned about the fact that they get too loose after some time. I had a X2 and I had to return it because it got too loose and it fell off my head when I move it.
As for the rest, I have a K702 now, so I should be used to neutralish sound.

How to minimize headphone head denting? I never had any hair until recently but its weird walking around all day with a dent going over the top of my head

I'm looking for some wireless in-ear headphones or earbuds that I can wear to the gym or while listening to music until I fall asleep. The buds don't have to be ultra expensive audiophile tier, I just don't want the audio to be scratchy and inaudible sounding like dollar store earbuds.

Also, might anybody know the best place to get cheap micro SD cards? I need one that's around 24gb.

>>60112203
I don't really have an answer for you but a word of warning; don't buy micro sd cards from ebay that seem too cheap to be true and are generic branded. They are fakes

>>60111598
Value is subjective so I don't see the brand correlation here either way. /g/ has a tendency to force their own values on others and be blinded by them.

>>60111665
Not entirely. Positional accuracy is given by the game's audio engine more than anything else. Your headphones can only hope to represent the signal accurately, they cannot create additional information on the fly. Surround processing doesn't necessarily make the sound direction more accurate and in some cases it can hurt it.

The marketed surround sound channel count in headphones refers to the "headphone's" ability to downmix multi-channel signals into stereo. If the processing is good, the result can be very convincing. The processing is done in software. The surround processing often includes more than just downmix based on the HRTF such as added reverb. Reverb tends to add to the sense of space and immersion but doesn't help with the localization.

As you might guess by now, a game that does this processing in-engine when you choose headphones as your output device has a potential advantage over other solutions. In order to downmix multi channel content to stereo you don't need to have special headphones to do so, you just need the software. Gaming headphones often plug in to USB port with a dongle that does the processing. With those the only way to use the surround processing is to get the dongle and headphones. Razer surround is a generic software that let's you do the processing for any audio output.

Even without the additional processing, standard stereo sound when played back through headphones is very accurate for localization in games and very different from loudspeakers. The localization process there is heavily influenced by your listening skill and knowledge of the sounds in that specific game. I prefer it that way.

>Also will those HD600 work well even when just plugged to laptop?
Yes. Their impedance vs freq is pretty stable and they're not particularly power-hungry, so it'll work well with most sources at healthy volumes.

An amp+dac is something you can get down the line if you don't trust your source for whatever reason (like, if it sounds different connected to different devices), or if you want more gain (to be able to get higher volume).

What will work better for decoupling my monitors from the table - Sorbothane or isolation pads?

MSR7 or DT250, maybe.

All of those headphones you listed have more bass than AD-900X. K702 is bass light but decently neutral. DT990 has some bass boost but also a lot of treble which is the most emphasized area of its response. Like the DT990, DT770 is V-shaped with similar response. Its closed design lends it an advantage in bass extension over the open back models. It's the most bassy headphone of of these.

That means your amplifier lacks power. Since this is the HD 598 that sounds weird as they are pretty sensitive headphones. A lot of metal and electronic music is also loudly mastered.

>>60114891
Talk shit about beats all you want but give props where credit is due. Without Dre inventing the headphone none of us would be here today

Bought HD600s a few weeks ago partly on /g/s recommendation as an accompaniment to the K701s I'd been using for five years.

Must say I'm very, very impressed. Took a little while to adjust to them but I think it's fair to say they are quite a bit better than the K701s, certainly to my tastes. They're particularly excellent for rock and folk, which is good as I think those genres were the K701s weak point. I've also found the general audio quality and clarity is better - for example, I'd never noticed quite how poor the audio quality is on some albums I like (e.g. Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92) - I guess that could be seen as a downside, but I'm not upset about this as it's encouraging me to listen to a wider variety of music. I would definitely recommend them over the K701s now, although the price difference is not insignificant these days.

>>60114891
>dr. dre reinvented it all by himself
I'm sure he developed and studied everything necessary to create the headphones on his own and then mass-prpoduced it by himself.

>>60114891

Memes aside, how bad exactly are Beats?
Never listened to any of their headphones, all I know is people who wear them usually seem like total tools otherwise but that's not necessarily relevant.
Are they good and just overpriced, good and appropriately priced but hated for the marketing and target audience, or are they total and irredeemable trash?

>>60115247

>>60115252

So they're the Apple of the headphone world?

>>60114752
lol they're pretty much a year old. Like I said I didn't need to buy them yet, but the one pad was annoyingly thinner than the other, though you couldn't actually feel the difference and they were still incredibly comfy. I'll be keeping this pair of pads on for much longer until they actually feel somewhat uncomfortable. It was more of a test if anything since I can't see myself buying any other headphone ever again.

>hair transplant cause i'm balding at 22 /blog

Just join the bald brotherhood and get some decent fucking headphones man. No hair looks much better than desperate attempts to conceal it.

People have told me that they can hear my 600's in the next room. If you're paranoid because you listen to chink shit for example, the answer is yes, they will hear it, but only if they're trying to sleep and have their tv off etc. It's the only true downside to them.

>>60115764
I know several chicks who dig bald motherfuckers. Embrace it man

>>60115499
Just because they're Chi-Fi doesnt mean they're shit. If you're fine with not a lot of bass, they're great for $10 (assuming you're buying the expansion pack with it which is very much worth it.)

>>60115247
>Memes aside, how bad exactly are Beats?
Depends on which model are we talking about and where your preferences lie. Not that bad for a certain taste sound wise. Build is often quite nice.

>>60114514
I think I'm returning mine. They sound good but not $300 good, and while the clamp didn't hurt my head my jaw aches like a motherfucker now.

I have no idea how these got the reputation they did.

shills and audiophools

I'm a recent HD600 owner and I have no fucking idea what any of you are talking about, the only way I can imagine them causing pain is if you are wearing them incorrectly.

What's it like going through life with microcephaly?

>>60116119
>>60114514
I'm feeling worried. I'm getting HD600 on tuesday :(

>>60116272
>microcephaly
very impressive insults

do you also call people niggers here?

>>60116344
Usually the one being called a nigger, actually.

But honestly, I want to know about your small-headed struggles. Do you have like a helper, or do you manage to live by yourself?

>>60115793
>>60115764
It really depends on the shape of your head and overall physic. If you don't have a weirdly/unproportionally shaped head and a you are in a good fit then girls will find you sexy and alpha as fuck, but otherwise it will be shit. At least your hair won't fuck up with your headphones, long hair with headphones+autism=suffering.

>>60116360
Actually I'm not that one and I don't own an HD 600. I have tried them and liked the snug fit but that's it.

I manage to live by myself thanks.

Except I don't, I've got larger head than average if anything (could never get a big enough bike helmet as a kid).

You do realise you can fucking adjust the HD600 right?

Mostly my phone/laptop. I dont have a DAC or Amp or anything, but I can get one if it seems necessary
>Type of headphone
Full sized
>Open or closed
Closed
>Comfort level
I need maximum comfort. The only good headphones Ive had are ATH-meme50s and they are so uncomfortable, I hate it.
>Sound signature
I dont know honestly. Like I said I have m50s right now, so Im looking for something with sound at least as good as that.
>Past headphones
m50s, like the sound. Hate the comfort

>>60116366

headphones wont do shit if you dont have HEIGHT FACE AND FRAME

Get rich and buy all of those.

>>60116548
Fiio e10k is a cheap and solid option.

>>60116570
Get a rich girlfriend and she can buy you a car and headphones.

>>60116119
BEND THE FUCKING METAL BANDS. They're solid as fuck and clearly won't snap. Literally fix them right now or send them back and buy inferior headphones like the fucking cuck you are.

Is this a new record, /hpg/?

At what point should you consider buying an amp/dac over upgrading your headphones?

>>60117022
The shills were rewarded with a day off for the increase in HD 600 sales.
Expect them to come back full force by tomorrow.

>>60117048
:(

>>60115833
Done some test leaving them on the desk and leaving the room. They need to be loud AF (unhealthy) to be hearable outside.

Maybe you should consider bringing the volume down.

>>60116119
They get comfortable over time. The first couple days are the worst.

One month in, comfy AF.

How skeptical should I be of ebay

I've the HD 25-1 II's for a year now, they're pretty good. Worth it.

Citröen ZX but it died, so now a Volkswagen from 1999 or maybe 2001, I don't know.

Thanks for the help, I'll be getting the Superlux clone, the 562's.

What kind of infant skull do you have to have for the 600 to actually hurt you.

>>60118184
The watermelon kind

>>60117106
Door and wall quality could come into this, but I mostly listen to music when I'm drinking so you're probably right. They do leak sound quite a lot but I don't really care.

>>60118184
I have quite a big head and the 600/650 are very tight, it's a fact. I loosened mine by stretching the metal bands, because I'm not a fucking retard. They're literally the most comfortable headphones once they've been stretched.

>>60118184
They probably just don't understand what height the ear cups should be at on their ears and are wearing them a notch or two too small (or big, perhaps?)

Not to mention they loosen up over time
