>arguing over response curves

From Mr. Speakers Dan Clark:

"There's not really a "target response curve" for headphones like you get for loudspeakers (which are challenging enough). There are lots of reasons for this, including that compensation curves like diffuse field, were designed for measuring speakers, not headphones, and while the "compensate" they don't make a flat-sounding headphone measure flat.
Further, if you think of the ear-cavity in an ear pad as the "room", every headphone creates its own set of near-field interactions with the measurement system, and that will not be the same as the interactions they create with each users's ears because the "room" geometry can vary. There are flat ears, "cupped" ears, big ears, small ears, etc, and if you change the "ear" on a test fixture the results change. I suspect this relates to the fact that people can have fairly different responses to a specific headphone or tuning, but there's not any real research around this I'm aware of."

>>61738979
I didn't say price was a factor, I said you haven't tried anything more expensive because you can't afford them. There are better sounding headphones that happen to be more expensive. They don't sound better because they are more expensive, they sound better because they actually sound better.

If I get just the magni 2 and use a RCA to 3.5mm will I need to plug it into my LINE IN or my headphone jack on the front?

Any other recommendations?

>>61739045
You wouldn't plug it into a line-in, you'd plug it into a line-out.
>>61739137
>>61739102
Oh, right, I get what you were saying now. Yeah, green is usually line-out. But yeah, you're going to want to plug it into the back, NOT the front output. Front outputs are usually noisier.
If plugging the Magni into the back green jack produces a noisy result you'll need to get that Sabre DAC and use that instead of the green line out.

>>61739154
>$149.99
Holy shit, that's overpriced. Try taking a look at the SHP9500 and pair it with a V-Moda BoomPro.

nah hyper x cloud(takstar pro 80) is a good headphone. I don't use mine unless I'm blasting some JOI/JOE/ASMR/GWA porn but sometimes I'll play a song and be impressed. If you're not huge into music its an okay buy although you should probably just the regular hyper x cloud if its cheaper

Kind of cool: LPs made out of various materials = extremely long-term, EMP-proof data storage and retrieval

Fulla2 or Magni2+Modi2? Or sell me on something else?

Never had an amp before and interested, driving a DT770 Pro and HD 650. I have no doubt the Fulla2 would be fine, but I wouldn't mind spending $200 and wondering if the stack is worth it. It would probably make me less likely to think about pointless upgrades later, if nothing else.

>>61739811
Aune X1s

>>61739811
The logical decision here is to buy a Fulla 2 first and try the headphones with it. If they're both loud enough for you, great. You're done. If not, then buy a Magni 2 and use the Fulla 2 as just a DAC.

Which of the V-Moda headphones are the best? Currently looking at them and they all seem similar.

>>61739893
>not really being able to try them out beforehand the Schiit is just the gut feeling choice for me
They're both solid-state amps, what are you even expecting from it besides increasing the volume? Don't fall for audiophile magic bullshit.

The bigger impact to your music quality will be the quality of the volume pot on either one. They are really prone to channel imbalance at low volumes.

Is there any USB to 1/4 adapters? To be specific USB 2/3.0 input on one side and 1/4 output on the other

>>61739972
Focusing on just functionality, for <$100 devices, the fulla 2 is the most nifty.

>>61739974
You are describing a USB DAC. Some come with headphone amps built in.

>>61740074
Well I bought an AMP while drunk but I only have USB headphones currently (waiting for HD6xx shipping)

>>61739974
The fulla 2 is one such device, and a decent choice at it.

Oh. If you're asking if there's a way to use USB headphones through a 1/4" output, no, there is not. I thought you were asking for the other way around: powering headphones with a 1/4" jack via USB.

Hey /g/ what are a good pair of isolation headphones to block out noise. I have some open back Sennheisers use for at home listening but they're not very good for flying on planes or noisy situations (obviously). I'm cool with Buds (In-Ear-Monitors) or over-the-ear cans as they won't be my primary go-to option. I'd like to keep the price under $100.

I've been looking at these. Can anyone vouch for them?

Monolith M1060s are amazing for rock. Tried them out myself. HE-400is are nice too, but the shitty plastic hinges leave alot to be desired. DT880s are OK if you can handle its bright sound signature.

Grab yourselves some planars. Even have a listen if you can before you buy them. They sound really nice

>>61741459
Pretty much the template for HD600 recommendation.

>>61741386
MK5/HF5/MC5 or just Etymotic in general are really good at passive isolation. MK5 is very close to the ER4SR which is near perfect Diffuse Field Neutral. MC5 is the darkest of the three above so if you want a decently laid back /dark IEM and don't mind the deep insertion, they're pretty good.

>>61741288
I suggest try out different cans before you buy, HE-400i for me.

>>61741492
>>61741533

>>61741501
So would you recommend the MC5's over the MK5's then?? I guess I'm still a little confused over the difference (price isn't a problem as they're the same on amazon right now).

Would you guys say the AKG K702 is a good contender?

>>61741459

Try looking at the M1060. Not that neutral, so do a bit of research before choosing

>>61741605
I would suggest the Q701s. The K7XXs can sound a bit thin depending who; The Q fixes that, but is a bit aiblant. If you can handle that, they're nice to own

>>61741605
>>61741669
Otherwise, K702s or K612s.

Last call hoping for anyone who has Rock Zircon's, Soundmagic E10's, the Newer Piston Hybrid's or the KZ KS5's

Just after some opinions on them really, leaning towards the Pistons. Price isn't an issue

>>61742835
>How about the ATH-M40 X?
Good. Balanced sound, detach cable, portable, cheap. Comfort is average. pads can be replaced easily, but it's not totally necessary. Status CB-1 is also an option, but has worse build quality. SHP9500 or HD558 for open headphones

>>61743416
>DT 770 Pro?
Custom ones are better

>>61744168
If you can wait, the zs5s are incredible for the money. V-shaped but not extremely, mids are clear. Best bass out of the 3. The sound magic e10s are mid-centric but bass is there, highs are a bit rolled off. Pistons are in the same boat, but less rolled off highs

IEMs with earmuffs on top. Basically equivalent to earplugs + earmuffs hearing protection in extremely noisy work environments.

it's what I use to listen to music while mowing the grass, and you'll be practically deaf to everything else (which may or may not be a good thing in an emergency)

>>61744643
Thanks for the recommendation.
I do mind waiting, which is a shame because I've had the KZ's recommended a few times. I'm not sure I really like their over ear style either, or the way they sort of fit in the whole either rather than a standard earphone.

Are the ZS5's really much better? As in a significant difference?
I might go for the Hybrid's, and if they're underwhelming just order the KZ's. I could order both, but don't want to end up with a stupid amount of earphones I don't use. It's just a shame I can't find a place that can promptly deliver the KZ's. If they were on Amazon I'd have just ordered both

will closed back headphones drown out the sound of my room fan enough to listen to things at a quieter level? as it stands i feel like i'm doing damage to my ears having to put sounds up to compete with the sound of my fan. so the options i have right now are to buy a pair of dt770s, and possibly ath-msr7 but likely the dts, or buying a quiet room fan and semi open headphones, whats the better route?

>>61745114
only by a bit. I have SRH1540s which have average noise isolation, but I can still barely hear my fan and can talk with people with them on.

im telling you just do >>61745018 if you want to be completely deaf to everything else. Either construction earmuffs or go overkill with those gunrange earmuffs. Take your pick

Found them on amazon hope that helps.

Maybe not appropriate for the thread but I recently got a pair of Sony XB70BT Bluetooth Earphones for on-the-go after my phone's headphone jack somehow ruined from the inside. They're actually really great but they're either too quiet or too loud. Is there a preferred app to use that can change the "volume step" of the phone, even if it's root required?

>>61745201
I'm in the UK, they're on Amazon here too but the delivery time ranges from 15 August to September, which is not preferred. The annoying thing is I've been sitting around for a month before getting off my arse and ordering a pair, but I sort of need them now.

The ZS5's are that much better then? I guess I can rule out the Rock Zircon's which is a good start. And if you say the Soundmagic are pretty much in the same boat as the newer Piston Hybrid's, I might as well go for the latter since they're cheaper. Bit of a shame

Hey there lads! I own a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 OHMs as my main headphones (use on less mobile machines, home computers, entertainment systems, musical systems, etc.) However I'm looking for something smaller, lighter, and easier for ~50USD to use on the go and with my phone. While quality of all sorts is desired, I'm not as invested in it being really amazing.

Comfort has been a major issue with me in the past wearing any sort of earbuds, IEMs, or on-ear headphones. Large over-ears have been the major saving grace to this. My ears would otherwise get sore quickly. I remember many years ago I had some SOL Republics that were /alright/ at the time. Only actual issue I had with them was build quality, they would die every 6 months and need to be replaced.

Ideal selling points for potential purchase:

- High comfort
- Decent Quality
- Neutral/ not overly bass heavy soundstage
- Durable
- Easy to use while exercising with high mobility, quick turns, etc. (read. inline skating/ running)
- ~50 USD

Regarding price, I'm not extremely worried about going slightly above, or even below, dependent on the item in question. If it's 60, but worth it, fine. If it's 30, and fits my criteria, fine.

Anyway, suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

>>61745331
It's the fact they have a detachable cable (unheard of at that price range) and that the sq hits well above the price. That being said, the sound magic and xiaomi pistons are certainly good headphones too

How do I pick between the Fiio X1 and the Fiio X3?

From what I see so far, people don't like the 2nd gen X1 as much as the 1st gen.

my headphones are see through

https://chiru.no:8081/stream.flac

Why is it so hard to find headphones around $300-$500 that have
- Detachable cables
- Easily replaceable earpads, so avoid earpads that are fucking glued on (i.e. M1060) or hard to find replacements for (AKG K7xx series)
- Durable build quality so no dumb elastic that wears our or wood and plastic parts that crack

I've looked into the Shure SRH1840 and SRH1540 but they apparently suck because of distortion so fuck, is there an equivalent of those headphones in terms of build quality? Do I have to increase my budget?

>>61745556
What's your budget? I'm here to help

>>61745694
Beyerdynamic dt1880 have replaceable pads and detachable cables. They're only a little above your budget.

>>61745201
I'm also interested in the zs5's, but I don't like the cable syle that goes around your ear. If I bought them I would buy the silver cable to go with it just for the looks, but that has the gay bit that wraps around your ear too. Are they comfortable to wear? are they decent for running?

>>61745780
>DT 1880

>>61745710
Under 100. They'd be for casual listening and sometimes gaming, I'm new to this don't consider myself an audiophile as I've only had cheap stuff. Almost bought the V6 but I'm worried about the treble killing me (as I've heard some say), I'm not sure if that's something that can be addressed with the EQ on my phone or laptop. I guess I'm looking for more warm/bass oriented.

>>61745201
>>61745793

Fuck it, I just bought them and the silver cable for £22 combined. Can't wait.

>>61745780
if you mean the DT1770 as maybe a competitor to the SRH1540, it also has distortion never mind the weird dips and peaks in FR. SRH1540 is cheaper (better value since it's made in china) as well so why bother with the DT1770?

>>61745780
DT1880 don't exist lad, only the closed 1770 and semiopen 1990

>>61746845
Is the ZSE better than ATE?
Is there much difference between ZSE/ATE and ZS5 aside from Freq resp?

>>61747169

DT880 is perfect until you listen to it.

>>61747203
Depends on whether you like neutral/bright or neutral/dark. Planar magnetics are better sounding than dynamic driver stuff especially with bass and midbass, but the dt880 are super comfy and have great treble.

>>61747296
In my experience it's not uncomfortable and kind of a necessity if you're exercising or using the IEMs in active situation. The ear hooks keep them sealed.

Zs5 is a quad driver iem.

>>61747308
Then they're even more perfect!

>>61746935
Who are you talking to?

>>61747395
I like neutral/bright with huge soundstage

>>61747668
Dt880 would be a good choice then. Try the higher impedence one if you already have an amp.

considering:
Koss BT540i
Sennheiser HD4.40BT
Pioneer SE-MS7BT

thoughts?

>>61747668
DT880, but if you really want the huge soundstage, then the AKG K612/K702 may be more you style. They are somewhat lacking bass though.

AKG K451

I need portable headphones similar to the K451's for use on public transport. They need to have a strong built quality, folding and have a detachable cable. I prefer a balanced/flat sound but I don't mind a bit bassy.

I am a house waifu in training /g/, and I love wearing my headset and doing chores, listening to music or audio books from my pc. I know they make wireless headphones, but I want to have one that does it all; chat and listen. I don't need exceptional audio quality or exceptional mic. I tend to use the PX3 turtle beach, I dont know what it is about it, but i can go very far from the source and still get audio, even to around the outside of the home, garage, upstairs and downstairs, It will cover a whole small apartment with ease. But these headsets are out of print and the refurbished ones are starting to last less and less as the housing tears from wear and travel.

Does anyone else have some advice for wireless headsets that have great distance? Google fu seems worthless in this regard. People are more concerned about their audio settings and the quality of the frequency in high wifi environments.

Let me know what you've bought and if you have any advice.

I'm probably going to buy a pair of K702s and everyone says you need to an amp to drive. I have a firewire mixer with the follow specs for its headphone jack:

75ohm output impedance, >105mW into 75 ohms, >40mW into 600 ohms

Is that gud enough to drive them?

>I have no idea what you just asked
https://www.turntablelab.com/pages/headphone-buying-guide-open-vs-closed-headphones

>>61748418

That alone will affect the sound, most likely negatively. If suggest you get a better source.
