Should I get the Focal Elear next?

Is there a real difference between HD600 and HD650? Because all I can hear is a bit more bass in 650s and that's all.

>>62139454
The difference is either about 3 dB of extra bass in the HD650 or about 3 dB of extra treble in the HD600, depending on how you align the graphs when you compare them.
tl;dr: HD650 is about 3 dB darker.

That's not true, I fell the bass on the HD-25 is better than what I hear from the HD-600.

>Get Etymotic ER-4S.
I'm not sure about using in-earphones. They can get your in ear canal really full of dirty.

>>62139454
I have owned both and the 600 is better. The 600's treble is already slightly recessed compared to most headphones which is a good thing in my experience. The fact that the 650 is even more recessed makes it inferior straight away. I do ad a tiny bit of sub bass on my 600 but even then it's still not as muddy overall as the 650. The 650 is an amazing headphone. The 600 is just slightly better.

If you're a germophobe just wipe them with an alcohol wipe before inserting them. If it's earwax you're worried about, earwax removal syringes are a miracle of the universe.

>>62139592
HD-25 bass is elevated, e.g. there is more bass than what is accurate. You can obtain an open headphone with more bass than the HD600 and you may subjectively prefer it but this will objectively be a downgrade.

Jvc harx 700 pretty good when i used cans

>>62139593
But what if you EQ treble on HD650?

>>62139707
Add 3 dB of treble to an HD650 and it's an HD600. Subtract 3 dB of treble from an HD600 and it's a HD650.

I have the V6 and HD600, V6 has a boomier sounding bass that can't reach as low and is sloppier. High treble is more pronounced, a touch harsh. HD600's are more engaging with much better mids.

The same type of material as Sennheiser uses for their headband; chink.

>>62139707
You have a point, and I never did that. Is that all it takes for either headphone? They are both my first and second best headphone that I have ever tried. I prefer the cleaner sound of the 600. I feel that the 650 need the highs reduced, and the mid bas reduced. The 600 doesn't need anything, but I like a +2db sub bass boost, and that's still in a trial period.

Filters to change HD600 to HD650:
8569 Hz, -2.3 dB, Q 1.0
15561 Hz, -4.1 dB, Q 1.0
17866 Hz, -1.4 dB, Q 5.0
18859 Hz, -2.2 dB, Q 5.0
19897 Hz, -5.6 dB, Q 4.999
Pic related is the result. This is about the same as the difference between HD600 and HD650 on Goldenears' measurements. To change HD650 to HD600 it'd be the same filters but with positive gain values instead of negative gain values.

Pic related is result. Do 5 dB instead of -5 dB to turn HD650 into HD600.

Also, set preamp to -5 if you're turning HD650 into HD600 by adding 5 dB of gain to 20,000 Hz to prevent clipping.

It's difficult to accurately quantify the difference in bass response between HD650 and HD600 via the numerous measurements out there because of seal differences, but my best guess based upon the totality of measurements available is that there's zero difference in midbass quantity and, at best, a very small, pretty damn inconsequential difference in the very lowest sub-bass response which isn't even present in the form of fundamental tones in the vast majority of music. Doing the treble adjustment in >>62140260 will, for all intents and purposes, transform HD600 into HD650 or vice versa.

I know I didn't clarify. But I really meant was for its relative size and cost. To parrot noaudiophile and quote him, "The Transparent One uses passive crossover parts. With the Zero, Vanatoo chose to biamp for great justice and implement an insano 8th order 48dB/octave active crossover slope at a very low 2200Hz. The 2200Hz crossover point means that it will easily integrate well with the 4 inch woofer. This will minimize off axis null found at the crossover point as you move off axis vertically with two way speakers. (something very important in a desktop speaker) "

So took some anons Advice to go tryout the LCD-2 But I was lucky enough to be able to try out the Focal Elears and HiFiMan HE1000 V2 and I was impresed with both the LCD-2 and the Elears but the HE1000 Stole the show for sure but based on what I heard and can afford I will for sure Go for the LCD-s

>>U shaped
wtf? It's definitely not u-shaped. Past the bass range, it's quite flat.

>>62141181
I own both, the elears sound pretty bad out of the box but after a pad swap and some EQ, they have way better separation and imaging than the LCDs. However, the LCDs sound amazing out of the box and don't really need any EQ to be basically perfect, plus they make acoustic guitar sound incredible. Great set of portable headphones with the case.

>>62141227
Exactly. Now read his request, you dumdum anon

>>62141252
bassy, vocal centric. HD579 seems perfect for that.

>>62141261
Maybe, but they definitely aren't bassy

>>62141239
As I have fucked up hearing I preferred the LCD-2 over the Elears as the elears were a bit bright

>>62141271
FR looks very melanin enriched, when compared to HD600 and HD650.

>>62141279
>Melanin enriched
They're HD 598s with better bass extension. They aren't bassy.

>>62141286
FFS, look at the FR vs HD600/650. The bass is over the roof.
It's quite bassy for open.

>>62141273
Elears are very reactive to positioning, and I assume head/ear shape. I personally found them too dark for my taste, hence the EQ and pad change.

I like psychedelic blues and black metal. Are the fostex TH-X00 a good pick up for me? Getting tired of my smelly k7xxs

>>62141305
They're not even close to being bassy headphones. What headphones have you been listening too?

>>62141306

Had the AKG 712s but they fucked up on me only after 5 god damn days of use. Left side decided to take a shit. Getting a refund. Liked what they offered though, but maybe the treble was a bit bright.

After almost two years, my pair of Audio-Technica M40x's broke on me. The white stuff seen in the image is super glue that was used to keep the headphones together after the area popped out.
Currently considering buying another pair of the same headphones, or the m50x. Good idea or are there any other better headphones.

They need to be somewhat durable as I basically carry them around wherever I go. Replaceable headphone jack is also preferred.

how do other people with glasses wear headphones, even with the lightest of clamp force and soft pads I still get a compression headache. do I have a weak skull hpg

are the HD 598 Cs really regarded as bad headphones? I have a pair and they sound great IMO.

What's up with the hype with Fostex TH-X00? I'm a bit iffy on the idea of having a massdrop-branded item though.

i'm really tempted on the purpleheart or ebony though. I know it's really dumb, but Mahogany looks kinda lame with the black font Fostex.

The purplehearts have the most recessed mids and it comes off the worst sounding of the three woods. Ebony or Mahogany are the way to go.

Blue shows it's bassy as fuck, red shows recesed low mids, green shows veiled treble. They're not even 598s besides the name.

So a friend of mine bought the hd600 recently. We both agree they sound really boring, recessed treble and lack of low bass. He has a schiit stack as well so we both doubt it has anything to do with source. We aren't bassheads either, we listened to mostly female vocal jazz, classical, instrumental stuff, etcetc. They just didn't sound good, almost like a table top radio.

>>62138550
What are the best headphones if you only listen to vaporwave?

Explain this. Both earpad sets are pleather as far as I know.

>>62146522
I think it still depends if you want to hear more bass or not. I got some beyerdynamic DT990s for my 'everything' headphone but I really only listen to EDM, vaporwave shit, and some hip hop type stuff.
