The audio is insane on this release though, it sounds really good. I hope high bitrate audio becomes more popular in video since storage is so cheap these days.

Outside of dragon ball super on saturday nights its the first anime I've watched since cross ange. It is very good but it makes me despise the dragon ball animators. Why do the japs animate this shit so much better than dragon ball?
I think I'm probably going to end up with your headphones too. I really want another pair to go with mine and it seems the hd600 is the way to go.
Also tempted by the nice closed back ones like msr7, oppo pm3, ath a1000z and some other open back sets like the ath r70x and h400i but it seems like the hd600 is the safest bet and then I can argue with people from a position of owning both the dt990 and hd600.

>>61885251
fulla+ magni bro here, i recently sold my fulla and replaced it with a modi, for the sake of audio autism. This is a weird one, but my modi light seems very slightly yellow compared to my magni's which is pure white. I have no idea if it's a dodgy led or if it's done on purpose. Is yours the same?

>>61885524
>h400i
Planar that's affordable. Supposedly pretty good except the quality issues and terrible customer support keep me safely away from that idea. The LCD-2 I'm more likely to try, in virtue of not being hifiman.
>r70x
Somewhat darker than HD600, but an option that doesn't look like it'd suck, unlike the lower open models from audiotechnica.
>hd600
Extremely well loved headphones which have been around since the 1997 and are *still* popular AF. Raving reviews by all the popular headphone reviewers. Safe choice indeed. Full disclosure: I love mine.
>>61885571
Good DACs/AMPs do not color the sound. Oh wait, you're talking LEDs.
(uber+uber modi/magni)
No, both do look the same from a quick glance, but if I focus on trying to see difference, I'd say the magni LED looks actually warmer (aka yellowish) and the modi cooler (aka blueish). The difference is so minimal it's likely to be just my brain or the ambient lighting affecting color temperature perception.

should I go for a pair of hd600s or hd650s?
from my understanding from reviews the 600s are 'better' but the 650s are more fun to listen through

What are the most comfortable headphones? :)

>>61885714
HD650

>>61885714
Easily HD 650. You won't regret it

>>61885691
Might be a slight led variation then, ah well.

>>61885853
SHP9500S, or Fidelio X2, but the latter is nigger bass. Basically whatever has that floaty headband that isn't chink shit

>>61885714 >>61885882 >>61885853
>HD650
Are just a variation for people who prefer their headphones darker and bassier.
>HD600
By far. They're preferred by most random people who tried both and most dedicated headphone reviewers who tried both.

>>61885714
The 600 is the better headphone but if you crave strong bass the 650 will suit you more, even though they aren't that bassy themselves. They're just a bit more muddy than the 600 if anything.

>>61885928

Almost the same. Once used to either, literally the same.

>>61886017
Easy, ask which one owns them

Pro tip: Half of them don't

>>61885959
>>61885928
Buying "bassy" dynamic headphones is always a bad idea, because the bass will roll off no matter what and the bass will bleed into the mids. Much better to buy a planar or neutral headphone with flat bass and then use EQ to boost only <200hz which will give a much better effect.

>it's a "shitposter spams images of Beyer/AKG shillposts" episode

so for like last fifteen years I used Philips SHP2000 because I'm a poorfag and they were sufficient but now they are all beat up and cracking and I'm thinking of an upgrade
I could probably buy the same ones and be done with it since they do all I need them too, even though they hardly isolate any noise

For using mostly indoors for extended periods, watching all kinds of stuff, varied music and games would Koss porta pro be a decent choice? I know they'd been around for a very long time and the consensus on the is very positive but just from looking at the picture I can't help but be afraid they'd turn out to be all rickety and flimsy and it it something I tend to be concerned about.
Can I have a couple honest opinions /g/ents?

You're doing it wrong anon. Friendly reminder most reviewers prefer the HD600.
>the stronger bass will probably suit my taste more.
It's not stronger. It's almost the same. Everything else is worse, and the treble is more recessed.
And, btw, are you the anon with DT990? If so, get HD600 ffs. Why go for raised bass again?

>>61886034
Yeah, the 600 is better sounding overall imo, but the 650 will suit you more due to your taste. It's the second best headphone I have ever tried. You can't lose with either.

They are neutral headphones erring on brightness. Best sub-$100 headphone, IMO. The only downside is the lack of bass and somewhat grainy treble at higher volumes. Extremely comfy headphone with that headband, though; comfiest i've ever worn.

This headphone is not only an improvement on its direct predecessor, the HD515, but is also better than the DT880, which is treble-heavy dogshit.

That would be HD558, which has replaceable earpads and better bass extension.

no my only other headhpoens are my hd471is that I use for going out but after 2 years the right side is getting weaker and just straight up doesn't work on my PC now and it's a proprietary cable so I'm just demoting those to outside headphones with my phone

>>61886630
seems nice and sounds nice, unfortunately it doesn't seem any retailers near me have them and amazon doesn't operate in my region

>>61886669
They do have replaceable pads but they require modding with the clips that attach them.
>Better bass extension
The bass is meh and muddies up the mid-range. No thanks. Both are nice headphones for the price, though.

>>61886726

Only people with high frequency hearing loss would.

>>61886593
Of the 1000 reviews on amazon of the HD600 & 650 there seems to be one report of a headband breaking. I think it's a bit blown out of proportion.

>>61886693
Well, check >>61886395
Watch these, and then if you still want to go with HD650, I won't be the one to hold you back. They're not that different after all. It's just... the HD600 is the better one among the two.

>hd471is for going out, failing
That sucks. Still They do look very indoors. The momentums are their outside use headphones, as far as I understand their lineup (I'm only looking at full sized).
Keep in mind it's likely fixable.

>>61886726
Possible, but that pic is from whem CG would shitpost all day, every day so it's more likely the original poster did it to further incite shitposting.

>>61886774
More than a bit. Sennheiser makes the best open headphones in the sub $100, sub $200 and sub $300 price ranges. Thus, Sennheiser headphones get recommended often here.
4chan is naturally contrarian. People spam the same few outlier images of broken Sennheisers because they are autistically contrarian and Sennheiser is popular here. It's very simple and predictable.

Metal/Techo fag here.

What would be the most suited headphone for listening to such music?

>>61886679
Man I appreciate you fighting the good fight and trying to shut down the HD600 circlejerk but you're legitimately being a fucking retard right now and it's not helping anyone

Stop shilling so much. Have the faggots that shill Sennheiser don't even own the headphones they're shilling for

>>61886804
Incorrect. Philips, beyerdynamic, and hifiman own those price ranges. Sennheiser's only decent headphone is the HD700, which is the best at the $400 price point.

>>61886778
they are pretty indoors. they let a fair bit of sound in and I used to feel sort of dorky wearing them but I like how they sound and they're so unbelievably comfy I can wear them for basically days on end and almost forget I'm wearing them

>metal
Is very vulnerable to coloring. Noise textures tend to have their power spread across a relatively wide band of the frequency spectrum. This makes it really easy for coloring and/or EQ to drag the perceived pitch (the perceived centre of the instrument's band in the spectrum is influenced by how the power is distributed across that band) up/down.
Thus the more neutral headphones do metal best; Like with other genres, just particularly more pronounced so.

-You could spend about the same amount in good speakers with more bass and much closer to neutral.
-You could go to a few live concerts and enjoy actual music being made right there for you pleasure.
-You could spend the same amount of money on a few months of gym and some cheap ear-plugs to protect your hearing in loud environments.
-You could buy hundreds of condoms and try to use them all (during actual sex with another person please) in a given time spam.
-You could just buy the damn headphones if that's what you want and listen to some good recordings on it, nothing wrong with that either.

Good non-meme closed headphone for gaming?

Was thinking about M40X

>>61888027
I'd suggest waiting for the HD569 to go down in price. Tyll liked them and if they reduce in price to around $120 they'll be the best value closed headphone on the market.

>>61887673
Who are you quoting, redditor?

>>61888027
isn't the M40X too close to your ears? Something a bit bigger will probably be better soundstage wise

>>61885274
What release are you watching? FFF?

Once again, the HD598 Cs and the HD569 sound the exact same and use the exact same drivers.

Are there graphs which show this? Amazon reviewers aren't exactly trustworthy.

>>61888373 >>61888410
Sure, there's graphs to show that the amezon poster is simply wrong.

>HD598 Cs
Niggerbass (bass considerably above midrange), similar FR shape as the m50x.
The only FR I've found on a quick search is in this plebbit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/5f1ewi/sennheiser_hd598_cs_fr_measurement/

Very hated among the review vids and threads I've seem.

>HD569
Bassy. (bass similar to midrange)
Found this: http://reference-audio-analyzer.pro/en/report/hp/sennheiser-hd-569.php
And this: https://www.innerfidelity.com/content/sennheiser-hd569-around-ear-sealed-headphones-measurements
Reviewers do seem to like them a lot and find them comfortable.
Also they're the headphones often pictured here taking a lot of abuse, showing that sennheisers do not snap.

>>61888442
Not really, but people will believe what please i guess, you could argue that the posters know from experience, that they only know the headphones they own, that its post pruchase rationalization, that all of this is subjetive and owning something doesn't prove anything etc, really any argument in favor or against what you said could be made, some even said they think are ok with both brands.

It sure is nice to see people using a tech related image board to post tech they own and like though.

>>61888509
The fact is that people don't usually just jump to the 600, most work their way up and stop because it's better than anything else under $500.

>Better than anything else under $500
I beg to differ. Headphones are subjective; I personally prefer Oppo PM3s over the HD 600 despite its non-replaceable pads

>>61888442
>anti 600 people aka beyer owners
I own beyer and i'm not "anti 600", hating on stuff you don't even own is stupid, there seems to be an inveted ration between the amount of headphones tested and the amount o shitposting done.

>>61888569
see >>61888576

Most people who spend this kind of money on headphone gear usually try many other things beforehand.

>>61888672
and?

>>61888629
I don't really disagree with you, but if your point is true then in a perfect world no headphone should be better than an other. We all know that's not how it works though.

That's part of why it's great; it's not about shitty fucking J-Pop. It's about cute girls doing cute things with mountains of character development, endearing characters and top-tier production quality.
>>61888793
Tyll liked the HD569, which is the same thing.

>>61888684
They get to try other headphones along the way to compare. I have tried all the good akg's and beyers in the similar price range and non of them sound as nice as the 600. Clearly many others agree. They aren't going to be for everyone, just like anything, but they are one of the very best whether you like it or not.

You could say the same about Beats you know...
Most popular is not the same as the best, but you said it yourself, they aren't going to be for everyone, as it is with most subjective things.

>>61885281
How is life as a non contributing member of society on the dole?

>>61888926
The beats situation is different and you know it. People who buy those don't know anything, or really care. People who buy decent open headphones are clearly in the know, or at least getting into the whole thing as a hobby. Nearly everyone here has huge knowledge over your average normie that buys a pair of beats.

>>61889008
Yeah, i know, just saying it, we can either throw graphs at each other's faces and point faults and merits that we all know are there on all of them or we can assume it's subjetive since headphone X can please or not everyone.

Why would anyone choose the DT990 over the DT880? The latter is a vastly better headphone...

I've had the DT770 (for office use) and the DT880 and recently bought the DT990 and I've got to say that this is some money wasted.

I might keep them for gaming/watching movies but I'll probably give them to my brother.

All dacs are transparent when designed properly, Delta sigma, multibit, or fpga.

I respect schiit for the gear they offer (the vidar and tube preamps looks sweet) but they push the multibit meme just to make a buck. Still not as bad as audiophool cable companies though.
