I'm looking to get a set of wireless headphones and am looking for input. I'm not really an audiophile or anything so I have no idea which brands to avoid or anything like that. I'm mainly just looking for something with good sound quality for music, games and watching movies.

>Budget
€150 preferably, up to €225 max.

>Location
Ireland

>Source
My computer, no sound card or external amplifier.

>Type of headphone
Around ear, definitely wireless. Every set of headphones I've ever had has eventually been broken by the wire being pulled too much. I'm retard-tier clumsy so I'd rather this not be a possibility.

>Open or closed

Ideally comfortable enough to wear for long periods. I'd be a size XL on this hat sizing chart I found so something that's not too tight, or is at least adjustable.

>>61808779
Because OP is a Sennheiser shill, and there's possibly a second fucktard that spams hd600 recommendations regardless of price point, form factor, and source. And I get vilified because I attempt to give advice within presented parameters to people and I don't like Sennheiser cans and realize they're extremely flawed, but that's against their agenda to make as many people possible buy the same shitty headphones.

/hpg/ is a safe space for sennshills experiencing buyers remorse. It's also here for people who ironically don't own the headphones to shill them because it makes them feel part of some special club.

Either way, it's cancer and I'm the chemo.

they might be but i have owned two pairs of hifis' (500's and 560's). I'm generally careless with all things because i'm a fucking idiot but i try to treat my headgear very well. Both hifis get a ton of use and I have never had a problem.

not him, but why not?

>>61808884
Anon's only memeing. Every major headphone brand has at least one problem with their headphone build

>>61808906
not him but it's probably because of channel imbalance from the volume pot. Some limitation with analog control when it's at very low volumes. I notice this a lot when my right earcup turns "on" first before the left one, but I don't get the issue when I plug the headphones/earphones directly to my computer.

>>61808952
Shure's ToTL headphones have no issue at all build-wise, just a fucking pity that their drivers are prone to distortion for some fucking reason. Dunno how the 1840 sounds like yet personally.

>>61808965
>>61808906
Nonononono
If your output impedance gets higher than 1/8 of your headphones' impedance, it starts to create audible FR changes because of improper electrical damping. Usually this means adding midbass bloat which is not desirable for most.

>>61808998
I've been eyeing those headphones. I wonder how noticeable the distortion is. Earpads look really comfy.

>>61808952
It's not a meme, hifiman has shit quality control. Read the he-400i impressions thread on head-fi it's full of defects.

>>61809072
I've owned them before for ~1.5 to ~2 years. No problems; of course, I babied them, but had no issues before selling them and buying speakers

>>61809047
can't go too wrong with the SRH1540 at least. That's what I have right now. The Alcantara earpads are fantastic, but it's perforated (great for comfort, not sure about isolation/seal). Might try to switch it up with HM5 leather ones when it gets colder.

can't really comment on what the distortion is supposed to be though. I don't even know how loud 80dB is supposed to be, which is supposedly where the threshold is for audible distortion.

At this price range, it was either the 1540 or the PM3. No replacement earpads available online was the dealbreaker with the PM3 for me.

>>61809125

I would not recommend it if it's too dry in your area or any extreme changes in humidity. I worry enough about my guitar even here in the Great Lakes just because of air conditioning making the air too dry sometimes. Can't imagine what you would have to do in a place like Nevada or something.

also wood will resonate more than plastic

>>61809157
Consider planar magnetics. For any sort of metal, the low distortion sub bass and mid bass is a godsend for downtuned guitars/bass guitar and kick drum.

>>61809256
75% humidity is common here near the water in Washington state. Wasn't aware that was something I really had to worry about

>>61809365
>75% humidity
well it won't crack, in that climate I'd be more worried of your a/c or heater dropping humidity too quickly. I'd look into other closed headphones like the Oppo PM3 first before commiting to the EMU Teak first though.

that said. I dunno how susceptible the emu-teaks actually are to humidity changes. It's more of an issue to thinner pieces of wood on wooden instruments, or like the one on the M1060.

The sound signature from the EMU teak will probably still change slightly depending on humidity though.

Neutral. V-shaped seem to be fine, but I don't have much experience. I have a wide variety in my music taste, and I switch from genre to genre a lot. Mostly has been metal and classic rock recently, but hip-hop and edm are also choices.

I liked them a lot. The sound was great, and the comfort was good too. It made my ears a bit warm though, and they look extremely dory and oversized. I don't like the metal bar on the tom, nor the fact that they are impossible to travel with.

What a classic example of a twat.

>>61810271
I don't. Sound quality is an objective metric but tastes aren't. It's cool if one doesn't like the HD600 but it measures well on traditional DF and Harman target curves, and it has no MAJOR flaws (yes it has flaws like bass roll-off, etc.). Full sized open headphone performance peaks at the HD600's price point and it's under $300 hence why I believe that it's so often shilled in these threads. Not gonna lie, but I really like the HD600 myself but I think that you can get similar performance for a much lower price like HD598 or SHP9500, even if it's not as good as the HD600, a little EQ can fix them up easily to match/surpass it. Going up into the kilobuck area is just audio jewelry. If someone put a gun to my head and said to recommend a single kilobuck headphone, the HD800 would be my choice, the consistency of the headphone on dummy heads is pretty good, and that makes it an ideal candidate for EQing.

Headphones and audio don't really interest me anymore, it has stagnated. I think everyone should just buy a reputable product that will match their tastes and never come back in this thread.

I was about to make this exact post but with different previous headphones.

>>61812647

ATH AD700X

IMO it really doesn't matter for positional audio, I've gamed on apple earpods to HD800 and overall it's more dependent on sound design within the game engine itself than the headphones. I'm not losing any competitive edge between the low and high end shit. I actually prefer earbuds for long sessions because it's way more comfy.

>>61812795

>>61812795
>Positional audio
I would rather have some good stereo headphones than 7.1 on my ear, let the game engine handle the virtualization of positional audio, as you said.

>>61812820
VE monk+ or apple earpods, they're average but acceptable. I don't have audiophile standards for gayming, they just need to work and be comfy.

>>61812828
I wear glasses so headphones will always clamp against them, otherwise I'd consider over ear headphones most comfy. That's why I use earbuds.

>>61812647
Haha woops didn't see the closed headphone requirement, disregard the AD700x then. I suggest the HD598C or DT770i, whichever is more comfy and closer to $100 in your country.

Why the fuck do nips have this tendency to produce their songs so bright? Idolshit seems to suffer the most of this. Warm it up a little and stop making it sound so clean jesus.

I used them everyday for like 5 months

>pros
sounds "fun" because bass and treble are cranked to 13 not just 11

Open back and nice soundstage, positional audio is amazing (if there's no background noise IRL, if there is then not so much)

You'll probably hear things in songs you never knew existed because of the treble spike


>cons:
Plastic broke in only 5 months, pads were completely trashed and felt disgusting after 3 months

Bass is overpowering for gaming, if you're playing anything with explosions or bass noises it will completely drown out the sound of anything else going on while that is happening.
Also high pitched noises in games will hurt your ears, even menus of game can be annoying to hear

no detachable cable and the included one is a huge, heavy coiled one which is REALLY thick and heavy and it's so heavy you'll be able to actually feel it pulling on one ear cup, depending how you have the cable positioned it can be eased or worsened but if you're extending it it becomes worse


>meh:
Certain types of music sounds good while others sound worse, examples being rock/metal where it's mostly bass, drums, guitar and vocals sounds great. Techno being full of high pitched noises it just becomes a headache and sounds trash. Depends what you listen to I guess, but anything which is high pitched will hurt your ears and won't sound nice.

Because of the huge bass and treble you can never really turn things "loud" because it will just straight up hurt your ears, meaning the mids are hard to "hear" clearly if what you're listening to is already quite bassy, hard to explain unless you actually try them

They're the kind of headphones you'd want to use for very specific situations and if you fit all the boxes they'll be perfect for you, but if not and you just want a versatile pair of headphones you can find way better ones for cheaper

>>61813874

My phono preamp died and im going to have to wait a few days to get a new one in. Got me wondering though, if basically all a preamp is doing is slightly amplifying the signal so it plays at appropriate levels when put through an amp/reciever, can I just use a small headphone amp like pic related as a substitute?

That's pretty common for new headphones

The HE-4XX sound very similar to the HE-400i, which in my opinion, aren't even touched by the HE-350s

How are those pads? I hear they're nigh impossible to replace, so they better be okay.

Fidelio X2 for lows
K712 for highs
K612 for neutral

Not anon, but has a weird fabric around its pads. Comfy, but may be scratchy for people with shorter hair. Some call them sweat magnets, it depends from person to person; absolutely no issue over here in Canada, including summers.

They are replaceable, but includes modding. They're clipped on, not glued.

Thinking about to buy Beyerdynamics DT 880 250Ohm.
Any other alternatives for open ones with bass heavy sound? Max cap 300€ - yes, euro. Hifiman 400i are way beyond the max budget in europe, even tho they cost like $250 in US.

Also, got a problem to separate the signal from my digital output and analogue output. My current amplifier is a Decoderstation 5 from Teufel (yeah, I know..), I need a solution for my headphone regardless since the device doesnt have a such output.

Im now unsure how to solve that misery.. Should I buy a soundcard (for sound split), a DAC, a new amplifier with enough port for everything or ..?
I use a 5.1 system with an integrated amp, 250+Ohm Headphones and a simple microphone. Pc user obviously.

DT880 aren't really bass heavy. DT990 are more bassy but also more trebly.

>>61817352
DT880 is not bass heavy. It's somewhat bright. People like the bass because it's more extended than most open dynamics. If you're a bass head it won't be enough for you.

Fidelio X2 or HD650

Any opinions about Ultrasone? A friend recommended me this company but I couldnt find some under 300. Is it worth spending a bit more or are there models that I havent found in that price range?

What are some good headphones around $20?

Hello /hpg/
Just graduated Poorfag coming In. I will travel to the US in the upcoming weeks

Starting work as a codemonkey for 8hours/day

Need something that is very comfortable to last all day long listening to music without my ears killing me.

My budget is $120 at max.

Obviously over ear and closed.. so my colleagues don't hear my shit.
Thanks in advance.
I will get something better around christmas. But for the time being I need something to get me by. The best for $120

Ultrasones in general are fucking awful.

What's up, is PSB M4U1 good for closed headphones?

Is the assdrop O2 worth paying $87.74?

Any reviews on AKG K52 and AKG K72?

The answer is completely up to you. Whatever is cheaper. XLR maybe because it's more flexible for other audio situations.

Status CB-1. You can buy a Vmoda BoomPro with them if you really want an integrated mic.

K712 is the middle ground of the three. Bass? X2. Neutrality? K612.

Not the worst price for a prebuilt O2. If it's the default config of the front taking in power and 3.5mm jack, no.
