Reminder:

Inb4 HD600/Anti-HD600 sperging

Any good alternatives to the Etymotics HF5 or HiFiMan RE400? I don't like the form of the HF5, and I heard the build quality of the RE400 is pretty bad, so what alternatives are there in a similar price range for neutral in ear phones?

How does the Etymotic MC5 compare to the Etymotic HF5? The MC5 is at half the price of the HF5.

Thanks in advance.

>>62155604
My budget etc., I found a few BT headphones within that price range like the Sony MDZ/MDX series (what' the difference even?) and a Phillips SHB5500/7000 series headphones. I'm not sure which ones are better in terms of quality/durability.I'm not too bothered about sound quality (as long as it's not walmart tier), just something that doesn't really break.

Pic's anon is confirmed to be just annoyed by the CLAMP of his new HD600. He's got no complaints about the sound.
The clamp issue will go away, faster if he follows a proper stretching guide.

>>62156126
I feel retarded for trying to hoverzoom that

I'm a brainlet who mostly plays vidya but I'm really thinking of graduating past shitty headsets.

ATH M20x or MDR7506

My budget's around 150 and I just want something comfy while isolating everything without going into IEMs

>>62156106
Just say fuck it and get the MrSpeakers Aeon.

>>62156139 >>62156152
Well spotted. WTF?
They're probably still in the box, Anon. Wouldn't hurt to set them.

So I couldn't get my hands on the quad esl57s or the Vega 56 (it sold out in seconds) so I've ordered the he-400i direct from hifiman after a/bing them some more today and deciding I like the mids on the he-400i better than the m1060 (both headphones are great though).

I'll provide pics and a timestamp once they arrive. Cheers scrubs.

>>62156089
How can something be a meme when it's amazing sounding for the price of dog shit?


Please explain it to me. If the sz5 is shit, what fuckin iem is good ,near the same price?

>>62156139
Proof you sold them?

>>62156106
You need to narrow down your needs, Anon, for example, you seem to want isolation, do you need it to be very portable too? There's a big difference between wanting a headphone to listen to on bus travels or walking, also, on-the-go headphones should be sturdy so you don't break them easily, checking build quality might help eliminating a few options.

>>62156191

>>62156178
>or the Vega 56 (it sold out in seconds)
my vega 64 that I got at msrp came friday :^)

>>62156167
MDR7506 is waaay better than the M20X, Anon, a better ATH option would be the M40X (which is actually a little closer to neutral than the MDR7506, still, the MDR7506 is built like a tank, if later you decide to get auray sheep skin pads for it you will be getting a headphone for life.

>>62156220
I'm not I just made a list of closed back stuff above $150 really

>>62156152
Because I chose to put blu-tack underneath so the entire unit is stuck solid in place. This stuff isn't cheap, I don't want it getting knocked off my desk for some reason. And on top of that, plugging in different headphones makes these things move all over the place. It's very easy to lock small amps down with blu-tack.

>>62156178
>So I couldn't get my hands on the quad esl57s or the Vega 56 (it sold out in seconds)
You'll get more chances re: Vega 56. I recommend BeautifulSoup's python bindings if you're in a hurry. Friend got his at MSRP (scan.co.uk). Murika might be somewhat harder.
>I've ordered the he-400i direct from hifiman after a/bing them some more today and deciding I like the mids on the he-400i better than the m1060 (both headphones are great though).
Great. Good luck with Hifiman. It's too bad you don't have HD600 to compare them against.

Then do that and shut the fuck up until you know otherwise. What was your actual goal here? jesus christ anonymous websites were a mistake.

What should I get, /g/

Etymotic Hf5
Rockit r50
Vsonic GR07

I'm looking for good isolation, durability/build quality, as well as comfort. I'm a pleb and I simply use my computer's default sound card or my cellphone, no amp.

I mostly play vidya, but I listen to classical music, weeb music, jazz and lofi hip hop.

>>62156227
Ok, i get why you need isolation, check which options have detachable cable, it's usually the first thing to get ruined, next check which ones can have pads replaced.
You can also see how the isolation is on most measurements websites.
FR is a personal thing, but in my experience something leaning towards bassy sounds better on bus rides since the engine tends to swallow most of the bass during the ride.

>>62156297

Not anon, but looks like I was wrong anyway

>>62156275
Not me, but I did ask last time :^)
>>62116580

>>62156260
I've done plenty of comparison with the hd600 and desu I just don't like the headphone for the price. Its not bad, but not anything special especially for the price. I've given them plenty of chances but after 20-25 mins of listening to them at a time it's just boring.

>>62156300
You know there are a ton of other options at $100? I think the simgot en700 bass has a very easy to like sound. I rec'd them to my good friend and he loves them.
Hf5 is accurate as fuck but some people complain about no bass and negative sound stage.

>>62156262
I said the 7506 is built like a tank, what do you suggest that has better build quality on the same price range?

>>62156284
I was f5ing my laptop on amazon when it dropped and then exactly when it did I lost connection. Almost pooped my pants, booked it to my desktop and ordered, stock disappeared right after I ordered

>>62156139
We were too busy with you and your brother.

>>62156330
I'm not arguing build quality, just performance. also the cable goes out after 4 years so unless you have solder skills then it's not buy it for life.

>>62156324
You could still get them for your son. And swap them after a week or so with your HE-400i
>boring
They're not meant to add or remove anything to the sound, that's the appeal.

m8 I can't listen to music sober anymore. It's fucking boring. I'm a beer/cider man but it's day 4 in a row for me so I needed something stronger.

I would prefer them to sound shitty on the 45 min bus and breath taking in the library and at home. I think I'm gonna buy the psb 4u, msr7, and an ultrasone 750 and return all but one.
Ultrasone has an fr that I think may be ideal but it could also be shit.
Actually no fuck what about Iem? Surely I can get gold from China for that kind of money.
I will never be able to decide

>>62156406
I just helped a dude earlier who had a right ear cup go out, actually. That was the v6 but it happens to all similar models. the cord is heavy and the solder connection is weak so overtime gravity and play makes it loosen and your right ear stops working. It's hit or miss because while my dad has one that has lasted forever, mine and my friends only lasted a few years. 7506 detachable cable mods are very common

I never liked the hd600s even when I was younger, and my original posts were for my personal amusement.

>>62156106
I don't know about competitive market so much as there there are very low barriers to market entry. Anyone willing to start a small business can just jump into the headphone market and start producing crap.

>>62156494
It isn't necessarily a matter of placing it on the coupler. The headphone could just be defective.
I mention this since something of that sort happened to my own headphones and the HD25 was one of them.

>>62156083
RE400 and HF5 have similar form factor. HF5 is the slimmer and easier to wear version of the MC5. MC5 barrel makes it harder to fit.
MC5 was usually around a similar price as the slimmer MK5.

>>62156300
They still sell the Rockit R50? I thought that company shut down years ago. Not like the R50 was a particularly unique design, it's built on a general OEM kit.
GR07 is too heavily vented to isolate well.
HF5 can work on isolation. Not everyone likes the bundled sleeves. Westone Star, Comply T-100 foam, Shure Foam, and the Klipsch sleeves are alternatives. Not sure about the ruggedized build, but it's not especially frail.
May as well consider the SE215. People seem to like the fit more. Bass heavy.

This isn't even a real thing. People love the 600's and 650's because they're generally great. It's not the same as one autist trying to tell other that a particular headphone isn't good.

>>62156329
I'll check it out.
Do you have any recommendations for earphones that are worn straight down?

>>62156758
It's still being sold, they have a detachable cable now too, but after looking at it more closely, it's worn over the ear, which I'd like to avoid. I have the SE215 and I just find it uncomfortable to wear for a prolonged period of time, the build quality is great though.

>>62156773
sennshill pic+timestamped his hd600s and then made the trip in response to the plebspotter shenanigans.

the acclaim isn't universal, and the hd600 push a lot of people out of the audio hobby because of the hype around them. people buy them because of the rampant fanboy recommendations and when they realize they don't like the sound/the headband breaks or both they just cut their losses and stop doing anything involving the audio hobby.

source: 2 irl friends who bought hd600s before starting college, one had his headband snap, both sold their source equipment and headphones and never got back into high quality headphones again.

I mostly come here on the weekend and most of the b8 posts are obvious anti 600 posts claiming how incredible they are. I own them, And I too think they are amazing but it's obvious to see that most of the pro 600 posts are really bad troll attempts.

>what is the second best headphone after the 600
>The 600 is the b est headphone in the world

Etc etc. You have to be a fucking mong to not see this. I'm not even a regular here and it's obvious.

Anyone have any suggestions for some nice wireless headphones?

Right now I've got a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 Pros and have been super happy with them. Anything that will be a similar sound signature and better or equal sound quality without the wire? Mostly will be used for movies, shows, and gaming hooked up to my computer. Price range is anything <$500

Yeah, the headband is fragile if you need to move the headphones around a lot. If you own any kind of headphone stand then this isn't a problem. Even normies will understand that they need to be placed when you're done with them. They are pretty expensive after all.

Well, most earphones are traditionally designed to be inserted deep into the canal. The Etymotics aren't unique in this regard. I think the sleeves may give off the wrong impression. I would suggest the MK5 over the MC5 anyway. HF2 and HF3 may be on sale. Anyway-
The XBA-100, the LG HBS-900. Apple's in-ear is fairly on point, but ill suited to high playback level. Everything would be so much easier with EQ.

Is the Schiit Fulla 2 good enough for the HD6XX? I read through an archive someone posted earlier and saw most people said it can't drive the HD600s too well, and it would be a good idea to get a separate amp like the Magni 2.
Is this still the case? Also if so, what would be some good Aux to RCA cables? It looks like the Magni 2 only has RCA input.

I'm sure it works fine, in the same sense train trip gift earbuds work fine. The k120 is the "entrypoint" membrane keyboard that I do actually recommend to people who are making their first build, have no keyboard and have no budget.
But it's silly to be that cheap on input devices, particularly as you likely use your keyboard a lot, and headphones show you should have some sort of budget which should allow for mechanical switches.
>>62157930
>Shit corsair (k70)
It was free (gift), and I actually do like it a lot. It's surprisingly good for one of the cheapest full-sized mx brown based keyboards. I do prefer the Das Keyb, but that's mostly because I like how the body feels cold at touch, and how the keys somehow make way less noise than the corsair, despite being the same switch (definitely to do with the keyboard body). The k70 is seriously a steal for the price it's selling at.

>>62157989
DAC x6 is a good option for those iirc. It has way more power than most $100 and below dac/amps. Magni 2 has more but costs $35 more and has no dac

>saw most people said it can't drive the HD600s too well
I used the HD600 with the Fulla 2 for a full week recently, just as a test. It's fine. It's true it'll distort a little if you play loud music with the volume knob at about max, but that's at WAY too unhealthy volume, and I'd never even know the difference if I didn't have the schiit stack to compare it with.
If you've got nothing (which seems to be the case), I'd seriously suggest the Fulla 2 over anything else. Chances are you do not need to spend any more than that, and it is definitely a more nifty and useful device overall than the others at its price bracket.

Sane plan.

So far you don't, unless you get more power-hungry headphones or need higher volume than the fulla 2 is giving you.
If that ever happens, there's the Magni 2.

How can there be so much variance between just the wood material? Heck, are the shapes/thickness of the wooden cups even identical between the three? I'm a bit skeptical that the difference is really from the wood itself.

Alright, thanks anons. The HD6XXs get here in December or possibly January depending on how things go. I'll at the very least wait until I can test them myself then.

Currently I just have a pair of ATH-M50s that I will probably use as my travel/work headphones. The Fulla 2 powers these quite nicely at just below the 9 o'clock range, but I was told it does pre-amp for its amplifier and was worried that if the HD6XXs needed anything above 11 or 12 o'clock it might not sound right. Thanks again.

>>62158256
To clarify: By distortion at really loud I mean past 3 o'clock territory.

>>62158234
I swear I looked at 5 different headphones with an identical frequency response to that of the purple line in your graph.
WHich headphones are those? It doesn't say in your pic or post.

>>62158256
Some headphones you need 10dB of headroom for EQ purposes. The HD6XX is not one of them. You'll be aight unless you like your classical super loud.

>>62157989
Sounds like his Fulla is defective. That or Schiit specs are wrong. Or it clips its own gain. Or he has no idea what he talking about. It could even be a combination.
Enough is determined by how loud you want the device and how much voltage the amplifier can supply into the headphone. As it turns out, because the device is voltage controlled, the power spec is not useful.

>>62158234
You can easily rig it by manipulating the fit, adjusting the clamp.
Closed backed headphones have a common trait of being very sensitive to fit. It's not inherent, but it is common.

>>62158256
It only distorts on HD600, too. The HD598 is fine.
HD380 is also fine (with fulla2 on laptop), but plugged to the hub I have at home, it will actually trip the resettable fuse in the hub somewhere past 12 o'clock with these headphones. This doesn't happen with HD600, surprisingly.

>>62158256
I use my fulla 2 around 12 o'clock with HD600s, higher with quieter tracks.

>>62158326
During my week of testing, I found I used it mostly between 9 and 12 for most music/anime/videogame use, going a little higher only when watching some movies/series that are mastered low.

depends on the earpads.

can't imagine I'd ever buy and keep used velour earpads from someone else. It'd probably cost you around $90 for a pair of replacement earpads which would be almost $200, the price for a new one, should you do this in your case.

I have AKG K702s and I'd probably just sell them for $50 to a friend or just give it away. I'd feel bad if I sold it to them for anything more than $100.

watch out for the HD6XX should it ever come out again. Shit sold 11K units within a few weeks to a niche market for a reason. They're a rebranded HD650 that are priced at US$200 so that's basically around a discount of CAD$300 for us in Canada.

i heard the K7XX have amazing earpads (similar/identical to the higher end K712), so it sounds like a bummer to me if you're buying it used. Return it ASAP if they smell like dog or smoke or something, dunno how well memory foam can take a wash.

>>62158722
Will do. Appreciate the help, anon!

>Budget
I won't spend more than £200 and I'll be getting them used.
>Location
UK.
>Source
Laptop or phone.
>Type of headphone
Over-ear with noise-cancelling.
>Open or closed
Closed.
>Comfort level
Very comfy.
>Sound signature
Neutral is preferable. I primarily want good sound whilst the noise-cancelling is on.
>Past headphones
Sennheiser HD 600.

Am I better off getting IEMs that penetrate deep?

i have 18 hours to cancel my order for the TH-X00 ebony. im the dude with SRH1540s already so i feel like im making a mistake, but fuck I am tempted anyways.

send help

>>62158303
HD600 uses less power. It requires more voltage.

>>62158366
I cannot find the Rockit R-50 at all. I don't how you're finding the R50. It wasn't a cable over the ear design though.
>cannot get used to it
I guess. It's usually the best solution for reducing cable noise, so that can be an issue. It's also a fairly common style of fit as well.
I mentioned the HBS-900 and some other stuff that could work before.

>k712
Got to love the unoriginal faggots that started to shill this headphone after zeos reviewed it, the k712 got laughed off of old /hpg/ got being nigger bass. You're all newfags.

>>62158773
K702

Have shure215 and hd600. Don't like the stock cables for either. What are some good ones?
preferably "fabric" and "anti-tangle" for both and a mic for the shure.

Related question, will the cables have a huge effect on the sound quality? Can't imagine that it'd be too bad so long as the electricity gets there.

>>62158936
Zeos videos are so bad anon. He never says anything of substance. I wish he went more in depth. I want to know more about the meze 99 neo, ultrasone pro 900, and bo h6 he reviewed but he never says shit. They sound GOOD oh the highs there are HIGHS. God fuck that guy for having such a sweet gig

HD600 + ety er4. Is there a more based set up?

As a beginner would getting a fulla 2 be a good idea then later down the track getting a asgard and turning the fulla 2 into a dedicated DAC?

>>62159490

>>62159513
The magni2 outperforms it while being smaller and way cheaper.
The asgard is an oven. Get only if you have a fetish for class A.

The trick is making sure all the electricity gets from one end to the next.
It doesn't mean anything for the 600 and 215, just about anything works.
What's your budget on the cables?

Looking for a new pair of headphones after my pair of m40x broke after about two years of heavy use, and after having to super-glue the swivels back in after they fell out. Will remember not to grip the headphones by the headbands instead of by the pads to reduce stress on the swivel and hinges.

Budget is ~$150
Need to be durable enough to get through a few years of college, and comfortable enough to wear around neck when not in use as I cannot be asked to carry around a case.
Minimal audio leaking from headphones is preferable
Audio quality should be on par with the m40x's
Needs to have a replacable headphone cables, as I have terrible luck with them in the past.

>80 AUD for HD600 pads

what did sennheiser mean by this?

Alright this is a question to all my fellow STAX users:

What kind of Microphone do you use for VoiceComms?

Posted last night but didnt get a response. Looking to upgrade from my K7XXs after owning them two and a half years. I guess I don't really listen to bass heavy music at all, and probably can enjoy about two to three hip hop artists. Looking at the Massdrop x Fostex TH-X00 Ebonies right now as a potential upgrade. What do you guys think? Mainly into black metal

>>62160176
Well might as well link some songs I guess

The lord thy god in heaven hath given me his blessing to lead ye wretched sinners away from the ignorant lies and injustice of these cursed blasphemers so that you need not languish in torment for hearing the foul cacophanies of your heathen 'phones.

I'm here to tell you boys that the way out of the bottle is clear, and that the true path into righteousness and eternal life points to itself. And that truth, o' my blessed brothers, is the Sennheiser HD600. Now go, go and thank the mighty father who sheds the blood of his only son that you might be shown his mercy for gifting thee with such a majestic and awesome way to receive his rapture.

>>62160572
They're Q701s without those head bumps. They're better yes, but I wouldn't call them a huge upgrade. Maybe if you were strictly comparing frequency response graphs

what are some dark IEMs. not too boomy and bassy just dark

>>62160176
>black metal

get DT880s or grados, the combination of sibilant, raw BM production with bright treble cannons will give you an auditory sensation that is unheard of.

>>62160840
HJE120

maybe hd569

seem to be in your budget, closed, easy to drive, not that far from neutral, should be comfy if they feel at all like the 598

Is DT880 being a sibilant treble cannon just a meme or based in reality?

>>62161038
>598
What about 599?

>>62161073
they're open and around 250 usd which I imagine is out of your budget

>>62160922
from what I've heard the ls300 and ls400 are kinda lame compared to the ls200, whereas the im03 and im04 were worthwhile in their own way compared to the im02.

>>62161059
No issues here anon. They are bright headphones but they don't bother me at all. If you are willing, just eq out the treble peak; problem solved!

>>62161059
Little bit of both. They do have elevated treble though I've had Superlux HD 681, 668B and 669 so the treble doesn't bother me.

>>62161097

Almost the same price as 569 btw.

Don't. Look into 579 instead. Same FR, cheaper, reviewers like it more.

Don't really have a budget since I don't really know the market. I guess 100AUD each.

Newfag here, how do you power high impedance headphones on the go? Are there DAPs that can do the job?

>>62162042
Depends on the headphone. HE-6 is like 60 Ohms but needs tons of power.
