Oops posted in expired thread.

Noob here with a question.
Recently bought HD 650s and fiio e10k from a buddy of mine, then bought myself magni2/modi2 stack. I'm using my PC as the source.

I noticed that while I used the e10k, windows playback devices recognized it as SPDIF. But now Modi 2 shows up as USB speakers. My understanding is that you want to bypass your mobo's DAC and send a digital signal to the external DAC. Is this happening with modi? I'm able to get audio out of magni 2 when the stack is hooked up, does that mean i have bypassed the mobo's DAC and everything is working as intended?

>>61054962
You'll need to download drivers: schiit.com/drivers

Afterward, select "Schiit Modi 2" as your output device.

>>61053433
Have DT 770s.

Received a nice raise. I'm inclined to spend it on a headphone upgrade.

Is there a natural "next step up" after the 770s?

Get a dac/amp if you haven't already.

Im looking for a good gaming headset
Budget: 200, flexible
Location: United States, 200$
Source: Computer, 3.5mm
Type: Full sized with microphone, preferably wired, doesnt have to be
Open or closed: doesnt matter
Comfort: not sure what the scale is, would prefer them to be comfier but will sacrifice comfort
Signature: preferably neutral
Past headphones: Razer Krakens, mic retractable into headset, found them comfy; Bose IEMs, not sure which ones exactly but they were around 150$ and I found theyre sound quality to be pretty good

A hardware equalizer is a bigger quality improvement than switching to an audiophile dac/amp. Hell, you can find cheapo external soundcards with equalizers on them for like 50 burgers.

Looking for a set of bluetooth headphones (preferably with mic?) that are white that are non-gamery looking to complete my build.

300~500 range, currently what I'm looking at to give you an idea.

[not an audiophile, trying to finish an aesthetic]

massdrop fostex th-x00's, should i buy them (currently using hd650's, could use another pair of headphones) and aside from "v shape sound signature" what should i expect?

So is there a pair of iems which have some really fucking good noise isolation that's affordable?

I'm going on a trip soon and want to block out the airplane noise as much as possible

Otherwise any good earplugs?

>>61054962
Yes, everything as intended. If you get sound out of the modi, it IS digital. Modi has no analog inputs.

Would buying open headphones help in getting rid of sound stacking? Regardless of headphone quality I can never properly adjust the volume without ending up with a deafening wall of sound. Everything sounds sibilant to me.

>>61057534
>and I'm a fucking normie

We can tell, if you're even considering memetooth headphones you should consider opting out, especially with such a high budget. Jesus.

>>61057450
DT 770/880/990 are all very good choices in this range, if you want more neutral I'd give the 880s a look for sure.

>>61057450
>>61058196

Forgot link: https://www.thomann.de/gb/beyerdynamic_dt880_pro.htm

I think these would be perfect for what you're after, especially if portability isn't a big concern. I've had my DT 990's for ~6 years now and they seem like they'll never break because of the German built quality.

>>61058093
You need two things:
- Good open headphones (I suggest you go straight to HD600 if you're not a poorfag)
- decent source (I suggest either the schiit stack or, at least, the schiit fulla 2)

Everything sounds sibilant is a result of:
- distortion (from either headphones being shitty or source not being adequate)
- non-neutral headphones (exaggerated treble or nonsensical peaks in the frequency response)

Also, use proper lossless (i.e.: FLACs) sources.

>61057534
>61056879
>(I'll be mostly gaming with these, and I'm a fucking normie)
Your budget can afford HD600, so you should simply go HD600. I'd be hard pressed to find reasons to buy something else than these when you can afford them.
Of course, before buying, knock yourself out reading/watching reviews.

I just made a list of IEMs that I'm considering. What do you guys think? I tend to listen to spoken word stuff, but fit music, it's hard rock, metal, and some EDM stuff (mainly Eurobeat). Does anyone know what the sound signatures are for anything after the KR49is?

*SoundMAGIC E10(C) - $41.99 - $49.99 (Amazon), v-shaped (C has integrated mic)

*Boarseman CX98(S) - $13.89 - $19.98 (non-S, AliExpress), $16.90 - $35.60 (S, AliExpress) bright/balanced, carrying case

*Boarseman KR49(i) - $9.83 - $14.86 (AliExpress), v-shaped, integrated mic, carrying case

*Vsonic VSD2(S)(I) - $34.90 - $39.90 (AliExpress), integrated mic (i), carrying case

*KZ-ATE - $6.58 - $16.41 (AliExpress), integrated mic, some models connect through USB

*KZ ZS5 - $23.99 - $31.60 (AliExpress), integrated mic

*MEMT X5 - $15.48 - $19.00 (AliExpress), integrated mic

Were the Beyer DT880s always this cheap? Did something change? I'm looking for some nice headphones to buy off amazon while they have the no-tax glitch going on (apparently?).

I already have AKG K702s so I'm not sure if it's redundant or whatever.

I don't live where you live but yes the DT880s have gotten cheaper. When I bought them like 3-4 years ago, they were over $300.

>>61059932
DT880 is better than K702 but I'm not sure if it's worth a purchase.

>>61059932
HD600. DT880 and k702 are expensive and yet compete with cheap HD599/579/598 tier cans.

Is HD 662 Evo good for playing games and listening for music?

Zaggbuds. They had this separator on the upper part of the cable that allowed you to hang them symmetrically around your neck, which kept the cable from weighing the buds down.

Inline play/pause is also nice to have. Volume control is not a necessity. Don't recommend me anything wireless.

Thanks!

Save up and get customs. If triple flange tips with the cable run over your ear still doesn't stay in that's really your only option.

>>61061176
You do know that classical has a lot of low-end right?, It just sounds dead in the hd600

>>61061270
The accuracy of the 600's soundstage is flawless. It's just not that wide. orchestral music sounds incredible on them.

>>61061135
>>61061300
Yea they're on sale for 285$ now on Amazon.com

>>61061373
what the actual fuck. I just checked on UK amazon and now they're £369.99. They were 305 a few days ago, which was already mental.

>>61061270
Objectively define accurate soundstage. Protip: you can't.
>>61061325
That's wrong, but if you're so concerned about niggerbass you should avoid open dynamics. The only way to make open dynamics satisfy those who desire niggerbass is to remove midrange response, which is terrible for overall fidelity.

>>61061411
It sound like you're regreting buying the hd600

>>61061310
I have tinnitus and I feel the benefit from my 600's even after owning them for a year. It's still worth having high end gear unless your tinnitus is ridiculously bad.

>>61061329
No, it's actually really bad. If you like hearing music playing from your eyeballs, the HD600 is for you. Or maybe you're not sensitive to soundstage. I'm not but most other people I've met have noticed it. Imaging is good, but it's only to the effect that you can pinpoint whether music is coming from your left nostril or your right.

>>61061310
Seems like a clear cut case for HD600.
You do, like everybody else, even if they think otherwise, prefer a more balanced, neutral sound.

>>61061450
If you need more bass than this you should avoid open dynamics. Equal with the upper mids and treble at 30 kHz and -2.5 dB from the upper mids and treble at 20 kHz does not constitute "no low end." This constitutes "as accurate as open dynamics get."

Define this. Do you mean a frontal soundstage? It honestly sounds like you're just fabricating this for trolling value.

>>61061629
>>61061506
Must have been using grados/akg with extreme soundstage exaggeration forever.
Probably never been to a live performance.
Or... more likely, just a troll.

>>61061506
imo the 702's is a very wide in terms of soundstage but the 600 still sounds better overall. A wider soundstage on the 600 would be great, but it doesn't exactly NEED it.

>>61061629
How wide it sounds. HD600 sounds like a closed headphone in this respect.
>>61061639
Samefagging doesn't help your argument.
>>61061646
This is exactly it. However, unlike the retards above, I realize that soundstage preference is subjective. Thus, not all people may be okay with the super narrow soundstage of the HD600 even though I am.

>>61060338
I would have bought the HD600 ages ago over the K702 but Canada pricing is retarded

>>61061677
Yeah I know what you're saying, but again, for me, you forget about soundstage when everything sounds accurate and incredible. A wider soundstage would probably be better, but then I don't think the headphone would be the 600 anymore. Apparently the 800 is like a wider 600? I wouldn't know, but that sounds great.

>>61061724
Yeah, it's the same for me. It's not the same for everyone though, and its important to recognize that. The 800 is wider but also has a very different tonality which leans more bright.

>>61061677
>How wide it sounds.
Then say that in the first place. You described something physically impossible without HRTF/virtualsurround/binaural audio when you said it sounded like music "playing from your eyeballs."
You are correct that soundstage preference is subjective. This means that a wide soundstage is not a requirement for all people to enjoy a headphone for uses other than music, and may even be detrimental to some.
For gaming and surround encoded movie purposes, I have tried virtual surround audio with a variety of headphones, some with wide soundstages and some with narrow soundstages, and I could never say definitively that one performed better than another in terms of positional accuracy. Virtual surround for gaming and movies works just as well with your average zero soundstage IEMs as it does with a K702.

>>61061751
The "playing from your eyeballs" statement was very clearly not literal. Learn to interpret context clues.

As for virtual surround, I can't use it because it just sounds "wrong" to me.

>>61061706
Can't use one of those mail forwarding services?

>>61061768
There is no logical reason to state that soundstage is more important for movies or gaming than music in the absence of virtual surround. You're not going to get positional cues out of stereo audio regardless of the width of your soundstage.

>>61061792
I didn't say anything regarding movies. Perhaps you're referencing a previous poster. Soundstage just makes music more enjoyable for me, but headphones without narrow soundstage have other issues that sometimes become irritating.

>>61061813
I was referring to >>61061105

>>61061770
sounds like too much trouble and what are the chances of getting hit with an import/customs free? I feel like I might as well just pay the inflated price., that is if I knew I would love the headphones

Too bad there isn't any place where I can even demo these headphones around Toronto. The reason I chose the K702s blind before is for the detachable cable and pads that are easier to replace, because it's not like I could even compare the different recommended headphones in person anyways.

>>61061896
No idea. I don't know what the laws are like there. I'm not sure if the warranty would still be valid anyway. Why not join the HD6XX drop on Monday? It'll take a hell of a long time before it actually ships to you, but at least you'd be getting a decent price on it in case you're hit with an import fee.

>>61062063

>>61062194
They're basically an HD650. They'll be a bit darker than an HD600.

Isn't that bad, unless it's absolutely quiet like at nights i don't really notice it, so i guess it's (still) fine? Doesn't bother me during daily routine of office, gym, some gaymen, etc. but going to see a doctor about this regardless.
About the HD600, i'd need to give them a listen first. I had Sennheisers in the past, although some cheapo ones, but didn't like them. Sounded veiled.
I'll give them a try though. Are there equally good alternatives in case i don't like them? And what about 600 vs 650, don't see the later being even talked about here.

>>61061541
>You do, like everybody else, even if they think otherwise, prefer a more balanced, neutral sound.
Yes i do. I prefered muh nigga bass as child, then went to V-shaped for the balance of tight, punchy in your face bass and overall perceived clarity from the highs but currently i want neutral, forward headphones.
Tbh nowadays i look at non neutral-ish headphones with few exception in disgust. Interesting how that changed over the years. I'm curious about why and how this changed rather drastically.

In case i really get the HD600, i will need an amp or amp/DAC combo. Are the O2 and Schiit stack still the go to option or are there better options now? HD600 will cost me 299€ and i'd like to stay below 600€, optimaly below 500€.
As an alternative, what about the DT 880 250/600 Ohm? Imo Beyers are extremely comfortable and good for long listening sessions and their customer support is great, too. DT 880 250 Ohm would set me back only 190€.

>>61062298

I like mostly dream pop, and it ranges to some rap and i like dancing with them on and my house i cant make too much noise because i live on rent. Plus, my landlord can be a bit noisey with her parties and stuff. Anyway, something that allows for a wide range but isnt specifically catered towards like bass sluts. I just want something afordable, decent sound quality that lets you feel thw music and hopefully canceling enough for me to listen to my lo-fi hiphop study playlist. Portability is kind of important but im sure i can stuff them in their case and get them in my backpack! Also im in toronto id that helps, probably just going to order off amazon, or best buy if theres a sale. I have the m30s and i like them but neutral isnt reallt what i was looking for i guess, although its good for what i normally do, very comfortable too

>>61062316
Your tinnitus sounds ok, it won't really affect the music. 650 is more veiled than the 600.

>>61062298
>Only one per person
>Ships on december

>>61062298
The only catch is that it could take up to around 6 months before you receive it, so the money saved isn't really worth the wait.

>>61062276
I do have a pair of monitors I use for music making (and a little bit of acoustic treatment), But I really prefer listening to music on headphones. It doesn't have to be 1000 dollars, I just don't know where to start when it comes to high end headphones for enjoyable, active listening.

>>61062248
Do you like the HD598? What kind of improvement would you like over it?

>>61062531
I like the 598's a lot, but I've also not listened to many other pairs of listening headphones besides some ATH-20s which are like 50 dollars. I'm not sure what improvements exist

>>61062661
>I like the 598's a lot
HD600 is your logical upgrade path. Buy it first without an amp. You may find you get adequate volume without an amp. If you find you don't get adequate volume, get a Schiit Magni 2 and connect it to the line outputs on the back of your 2i2.

>>61062248
The natural upgrade of an HD598 is the HD600.
There are more expensive headphone options, but they're all compromises and, overall, not better than the HD600.

>>61061597
Either honestly. If you don't mind it being a bit bulky, 669 otherwise 662EVO for muh aesthetics and spare pads.

>>61062796
>>61062800
What about the HD650s? I heard they aren't as good as the 600s but why would you not recommend those? Also thanks a lot for the suggestions, I will take a look at the Schiit Magni 2

>>61053433
What does her butt smell like?

>>61062846
If you can, go to a audio store, most decent ones should have a showroom where you can test headphones so you can figure out what sound signature you like most

>>61062316
>Sennheiser
>Sounded veiled.
It could possibly have been a bad source. HD600 impedance is high but relatively stable, meaning it just works well plugged anywhere, unlike many other sennheisers.
The other possibility is that you've never used neutral headphones further than a few seconds at a time. The so-called burn-in is very real, but it's all in your brain. Give them time.
>>61062846
>I heard they aren't as good as the 600s
Correct.
>but why would you not recommend those?
See above. Most people who have tested both extensively do prefer the HD600. The very likely reason is that HD600 is neutral, whereas HD650 is coloured (more bassy, less treble, more forward but less accurate midrange). In practice it means it might sound better for some people and/or on some songs because of the colouring, but for the majority of music and/or people, the colouring is detrimental.
Ultimately colouring is a form of distortion, and counter to accuracy.

>>61062846
HD650 are less accurate/balanced than HD600. Their treble is reduced compared to HD600 and the result is they sound slightly dark.

>>61062879
>>61062907
>>61062912
Alright, i am a big fan of the balance that the hd598s give so this is great information.
Awesome, thank you guys. HD600's here I come

>>61062316
>I had Sennheisers in the past, although some cheapo ones, but didn't like them. Sounded veiled.
Obviously "cheapo" headphones aren't going to be accurate.
>what about the DT 880
V-shaped; many will find it bright.

Get some help. You're getting to attached to a cartoon.

>>61062846
>Also thanks a lot for the suggestions, I will take a look at the Schiit Magni 2
My advice is to grab a Fulla2. That's the best value per money Schiit offers. It's an excellent DAC and a good amp, considering it's usb powered.
This gives you a known-good source, and eliminates possible issues from the analog outputs of computers and such.
With the magni2, you'd have more power (which you will likely never ever need), but you'd still be at the mercy of the motherboard audio quality lottery, and never sure that what you're hearing is OK, with no known good source to compare against.
Furthermore, the connectivity options of the fulla2 and its size make it an incredibly nifty device.

>>61062989
Very hard to take seriously with an animated gif of a 3d rendered girl.

>>61062998
If the guy you're talking to is >>61062248 he already has an external DAC. Magni would give him a lot more headroom/volume (which is great for stuff mastered at very low levels) for the same price as a Fulla 2.

>>61063031
I see. If that's the case then yes, Magni 2 all the way.

>>61062998
>you'd have more power (which you will likely never ever need)
Sources mastered at a low level and EQ are both reasons why he might need the extra power, especially when combined.

>>61062846
Try looking into the jds labs the element, it's more expemsive but it's fucking beautiful

>>61063073
>the element
It's costly, and I have not heard anything good about it, only criticism. Going by pics, as to appearance, I prefer my magni2 by far.

>>61062367
I just fear it becomming worse before i become senile.. hearing loss is one of the few things that would actually make me kill myself.
I'll try the HD600 and DT880 next time i get the chance. I'm really curious about the HD600 meme.

>>61062907
>It could possibly have been a bad source.
Impossible. They were idk.. 36 Ohm and i used 320CBR so that should be fine. My guess is that it was because of low end Sennheiser trash.
>you've never used neutral headphones further than a few seconds at a time
Possible. Neutral headphones i had at the time are Monks. I like the monks for what they are but i don't consider them that good. It feels like they're lacking something.

>>61062969
>what about the DT 880
>V-shaped; many will find it bright.
I read they are rather neutral, at least the most neutral of the budget beyer lineup. I don't have a problem with brightness unless it's rape brightness. I love the MSR7 which people call very bright at times.
The beyers are appealing to me because the are german made, comfortable as fuck, beyerdynamic has good support and they are way cheaper than HD600. Also idk about the HD600 meme.

>>61053433
Question to the tinnitus bros out there. Do
you ears ever seem to change? I always have hissing in both but sometimes my left feels shit, like it's slightly underwater. I can literally hear how muddy it is with a basic left/right channel test. It also seems to change depending on how well I sleep, and I don't sleep well these days. There's nothing worse than owning expensive headphones gear that you love, then waiting for the weekend to get drunk and you ears make everything sound like shit. If it was consistently shit I'd sell it all now and accept it. But it's not.

>>61063057
>power
You're probably referring to Gain.
I'm at low gain (switch) on the magni2 all the time with my HD600, and it is more than enough, even with low mastering volume classical music.
The fulla2 has considerably higher gain than the magni2 set to low.
So I doubt this will ever be an issue.
Also, he has tinnitus already, I would suggest healthy listening levels. That is, the lower the better.

>>61062989
>You're getting to attached to a cartoon.
You're making the implication that's a bad thing, you can't deny she has a great ass.

>>61063140
>Also idk about the HD600 meme.
HD600 have been around for 1997, and they're still popular. There's no shortage of reviews, in text and video form if you prefer. You can learn a lot from checking these out.

>>61063140
>at least the most neutral of the budget beyer lineup
This is correct, but they're still V-shaped.
>I don't have a problem with brightness unless it's rape brightness
>I love the MSR7
DT880 possess considerably more treble than MSR7 when measured by the same equipment:

https://www.innerfidelity.com/images/AudioTechnicaATHMSR7.pdf

>>61063140
>. My guess is that it was because of low end Sennheiser trash.
Probably riff-raff oriented headphones. Sennheiser makes some, even niggerbass shit where everything sounds muddy as fuck.
As always, focus on models, not brands.

>>61063140
>They were idk.. 36 Ohm
Impedance mismatch is more likely with low impedance headphones, which can affect the FR, particularly so if the impedance isn't stable across the frequency range, which is often the case on low impedance headphones, and possibly makes the headphones sound veiled. I had that with my HD598 until I got an amp; like night and day.

Is the Audio Technica ATH M50x a considerable upgrade over the M40x? Worth dropping an extra $50 on?

>>61063153
>I always have hissing in both but sometimes my left feels shit, like it's slightly underwater. I can literally hear how muddy it is with a basic left/right channel test.
Do you happen to have a severe cold in the (near) past? Because i had one and some fluid got into my left ear from the inside and build up in the canal. This can cause tinnitus, in my case it did. It isn't very prominent, but it's there.
My tinnitus is mostly noticeable at night and i learned to live with it. Anyways, go see a doctor, i will, too.
>Do you ears ever seem to change?
Some variation depending on time, noise and stress. Ususally less noticeable on relaxed mornings and more noticeable after a loud, stressful day. Stress and blood preasure are also factors that influence tinnitus.
Do you have some other syndromes? Hearing loss of certain frequencies, clicking noise in your ear etc? I've read some articles about that stuff to figure out my problems.

>>61063204
>HD600 have been around for 1997
I read they changed drivers and signature somewhere around 2010. Idk if it's true. I already read/watched a lot of reviews and most praise them as THE headphones before you go into the really expensive territory of audio equipment.
I'll try to find some place where i can give them a listen because i don't trust all the memes. The two things i hate about sound are muddy, loose bass and veiled headphones.
>You can learn a lot from checking these out.
Yeah, why not. If you have some good vids or whatever, please link them.

>>61063210
>DT880 possess considerably more treble than MSR7 when measured by the same equipment:
Is it really that much? Golden ears measurments both peak around -15 dB. Innerfidelity measurements both peak around 0-(-5) dB. Doesn't look like a huge difference to me. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

>>61063435
The GE measurements show the DT880 as having ~8 dB more treble than the MSR7 and the IF measurements show it as having ~5dB more treble. I don't know how you're reading them so incorrectly, but you are.

>>61063140
I've bought all the 'top' headphones that cost under $500 and the 600 are the best imo. If you care that much just buy them and listen for god knows how many years before your ears become shit. It's now or never and the only reason you wouldn't like them is because you need heavy amounts of bass. My tinnitus is starting to worry me. I'm 29 and my one ear keeps sounding/feeling like it's infected when it's not. I was 'happy' when both were just ringing because you don't notice it when listening to music.

>>61062846
Go for an NFB-11 along with the HD600 or HD650. You've already got more than enough meme coins to afford both, and it'll be future-proof for any other headphones, powered monitors, etc. that you could possibly buy.

This scares me man. I'll be 25 soon and although my tinnitus isn't a problem yet, your case sound horrible to me.
>need heavy amounts of bass
I like bass but it has to be good one. Tight, punchy, deep, not too much and above all: quality > quantity. I'm perfectly fine with MSR7 bass.
If i have to compare DT 990 and MSR7 it's the MSR7 by far. I like how airy the 990's are and the kind of bass they produce but overall MSR7 are better. Well.. at least if you leave comfort out of the equation.

>>61063715
SHP9500

>>61063752
5dB is a significant difference. http://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_level.php?lvl=6 will show you what a 6 dB increase sounds like.
Keep in mind that the actual difference between the DT880 and MSR7 treble is probably somewhere in between the 5 dB and 8 dB differences shown by the GE and IF graphs.

As far as I know the higher end DT's don't have a lot of bass? 600 should be fine for you. In terms of my ears, yeah they're mostly fine in terms of music but my one ear has been pissing me off lately, I need to go back to an ear specialist. I went to one as soon as I got tinnitus and all he really said was 'for some people it goes away after time' it just felt like he was trying to make me feel better. I can still hear music very well when my one ear isn't playing up. It's not the end of the world yet.

>>61064050
>higher end DT's don't have a lot of bass?
Idk, 770/880/990 aren't really the high-end beyers. 770's are sub-bass orgasmphones, 990's are airy with good bass, neither has mids and 880's idk about, never listened to them.
>all he really said was 'for some people it goes away after time' it just felt like he was trying to make me feel better
Exactly the same here. Fuck those "doctors" and their shit. It's fine if they can't change it because it's physically impossible, but at least don't lie to me you medical kike.
FYI: my doctor tried to talk me into making a little hole in my membrane to try to get the fluid out. Might as well stab my ears with scissors.

>>61063933
Your 990s are essentially 880s with more bass. The treble peak on your 990s is about the same as on the 880s, but it'll sound much louder on the 880s without the extra bass masking it.

You don't need a doctor to clean out your earwax. Just use one of these with body temperature water so it doesn't make you dizzy. Do it over the sink and big fucking chunks of earwax will come out into the sink. It's strangely satisfying, and safe.

>>61064129
Yeah, I'd rather he just told me that I'm stuck with tinnitus and that it will get worse as time passes. And give me some actual tips to help the problem.

>FYI: my doctor tried to talk me into making a little hole in my membrane to try to get the fluid out. Might as well stab my ears with scissors.

I don't know anything about this but if an ear specialist told me that would make my hearing 'normal' again I'd probably fucking do it. But again, my hearing is still good enough to enjoy good quality music through good headphones. There's no point in worrying about it, and you will most likely struggle wen you're 40/50+ and a lot of people have shit hearing at that age anyway.

>I'm pathetic enough as it is.
Thinking you're pathetic for liking things that the riff-raff finds pathetic is the main, if not only, reason you're pathetic.

Youtube encodes, for every video, several versions of video and audio, separately. Even if the video was 420p, the audio could still be awesome.

Probably the oddities you hear are from the layering. You can easily find (probably as suggestions from youtube right away) the separate songs.

Oppo PM-2 - best headphone I've ever owned, but I've had it for two years now and looking for something new and different.

Going to keep the PM-2, but thinking about getting a different set that complements it.
Since the PM-2 is super comfortable, neutral and easy to drive I'm willing to put up with a bit of fuss to get something more special.

Thoughts?

Fuck me you're mad about the hd600. And you should be.

Is there anything similar to Func's HS-260s on the market today? While they were marketed as a gaming headset themselves they sounded like and just about matched the price of SR-60s with the inclusion of a decent mic. Even years ago when I came across them I was turning my nose up at the idea of buying a gaming headset until I actually heard them. Today the phrase is synonymous with shit quality to the point where all the headphone guides I've seen suggest avoiding any headphone/microphone combo whatsoever. Func was bought out and no longer produces any of their old products. Is there no one else moving into the no-gimmicks peripheral niche?

>>61065842
>How do the HD600 compare to HD650/700?
Slightly more accurate than HD650, way more accurate than HD700.
>Thanks, the dt1990s look nice.
See: >>61065861
I can't recommend it based on this raw measurement. That's a whole fucking shitload of treble. That headphone is going to sound harsh and sibilant and cause listening fatigue. Even the DT880 measures better than that. What the fuck were Beyerdynamic thinking?

Correct, it is. But it'd be more accurate to say they're shit *value* for the money.
With the same sound quality, it is not worth paying 10+ times as much for a pre-attached mic.

Here's how they measure compared to ER4S, THE reference for balanced sound signature. If you're open to EQing them looks like all they need is +2 dB at 20 Hz and -2 dB from 5.5 to 9 kHz.

What are some of the most comfortable headphones below the $150 mark?
Especially if you have big head/ears.

I've been using ATH-M50x and they are way too tight and shallow so they make my ears red and sore.

>>61066424
When I looked into that, I found a Youtube video where someone in the comments said he tried it multiple times and each time it killed the bass response. I stopped looking into it after that. I'm still interested in hearing user reports from /hpg/ bros, though.

Finally had to time to sit down today and really listen, and goddamn they're good. I usually prefer a bass heavy signature, and the X2s are coming out for some songs, but for anything else I'd rather use these.

Comfort's good as anything I've tried except for the Audioquest Nightowl. First version was shit, but this second release seems fine given the 5 year warranty.

>For consumer headphones like you'd use on the subway or out on the town, we compare the frequency response against the ISO 226:2003 "equal loudness" curve—the curve at which most human ears hear notes at the same loudness—with the least overall deviation. While many people prefer non-standard curves that derive a more customized sound, we have found over years of testing that headphones calibrated to the ISO 226:2003 standard work well across the widest variety of genres. The headphone companies seem to agree, since most headphones we test follow this guideline somewhat.

and yes it is audible, and no it can't be EQ'd out

Sorry to hear you got memed into buying one of those. I'd much rather get an HE-400i, HE-500, used LCD-2, TH-X00, or something along those lines.

I WANT TO BUY HEADPHONES FOR USE WITH SAMSUNG IGT SO I AM AFRAID 60 OHM ONWARD IS TOO MUCH
SO SHOULD I BUY KOSS PORTA PRO?
OR WOULD IT BE TOO QUIET?

>>61067267
PortaPros were originally designed to be driven by things like Walkmans. They should be loud enough. That being said, what is the exact model name/number of your phone?

>>61067267
Also, you should be aware that impedance is not the only factor that determines how loud a headphone will get with a certain source. Sensitivity is also a factor.

>>61059684
Yes, far more comfy than M50/M50X.

Get 770's, or 880's if you want open back and less bass. 990's are V-shaped and very sibilant. 880/770's not so much.

>>61060544
Stick with the 650. Gaming requires fuck all sound quality, even at high level. Just improve your skills. You'd be spending money for zero reason. Buy a cheap AKG if you want good imaging and soundstage, though I'd just suggest getting a Superlux 668b or Samson SR850 for much cheaper. 650's image well enough for it to not be an issue. Large soundstage is a meme.

"No." Just get HJE120. They're comfortable, they have great bass and they're $10.

>>61068279
>bass

>>61068295
Nothing is going to be accurate in that price range. The only way you'll achieve accuracy in that price range is through EQ, and it's much better to EQ bass down than up, since the latter can result in distortion. The HJE120 are a fantastic candidate for EQ as they have a rather parabolic bass boost which can be EQd down accurately with a single low-Q filter.

No. M50x are shit. Get 770's instead unless you need portability. Better sound with an overall similar signature. Better build too. Only downside is lack of removable cable, which is generally not a huge issue.

That or stick with your M40x. Theyre more neutral than either the 770 or M50x. Just get new pads.
