I have fidelio x2, been thinking about getting a pair of LCD-2. I'm wondering if it's worth getting though since i've only got a FIIO E18 as a dac/amp or if i should wait and upgrade the rest of my gear first?

Get the headphones. Upgrading your source right now will not benefit you but upgrading headphones will. You can upgrade your source later if it doesn't get loud enough for you.

>>62183968
aight, sounds reasonable. Any recommendations for upgrades i can do later that are good for these cans?

>>62184004
Schiit Stack or O2/ODAC are the standard choices. I don't find the LCD-2 to be that hard to drive though. Tbh a fulla 2 worked just fine for me.

Headphone jack on my computer just broke down and i thought that it would be good time to upgrade my audio system.

Haven't had expensive headphones before, or even full-sized for that matter. I've used Sennheiser CX300II's before and am currently using MEMT X5's, liked both considering what I paid for them once I fucked around with an equalizer, wish the sound stage and separation would've been a bit better.

Posted this last thread but didn't get any real responses.

What do you guys think of the DT 1990 pros?

I've had a pair of DT770s for a couple years and really love them but I'm looking to step up to something a little nicer and open or semi-open. Since I love my 770s so much the 1990 seems perfect but are there any better options?
A couple I've been looking at are HD650 and Audioquest nighthawk

>>62185012
Try each one yourself and choose which sound best if you have access to the headphones
>>62177601

>>62185072
I would if I could. Literally nowhere around me to try the HD650s or DT1990s. Crutchfield has the nighthawks in stock and they're shipping a set to my local store so I can try them out but out of luck on the others.

>>62185175
DT 1990 Pros sound like more refined DT 990s. HD 650s are HD 600s with more mid-bass bloat and less treble, if you've listened to them before.

>>62185175
>>62185232
The 1990s have the build advantage, but the 650s aren't too bad either. No idea about AudioQuest

>>62184831
The HJE-120? It costs all of 8 dollars, I don't remember any particular build issues. Mind you, no one is going to bother to reinforce these low end models.
What does the 1More Piston Classic go for in your area?

>>62183755
Why the LCD-2?

>>62185012
>DT1990
It's not very much like the DT770. But a different question, what don't you like about the DT770?
I get the sense you aren't sure what you are looking for. It would be helpful if you experimented with a parametric equalizer to figure out your preferred signature.

In that line of thinking, sine sweeps are useful to figure out annoying peaks and dips in the response. Hit them with a peaking filter.

>>62185309
>1MORE Piston Classic
That model goes for $20, but doesn't seem to have any stock locally nor internationally...

>>62185309
>what don't you like about the DT770
Nothing really. If I had one complaint it'd be the closed back. They have a pretty good soundstage for a closed headphone but its still not quite the same. Mostly though I've just had them for forever and feel like getting something new.
Generally I like V shaped signatures. Something with pretty good tight bass but not too overwhelming, OK mids that aren't completely drowned out, and nice clear highs that aren't completely piercing. Neutral is OK too.

>It's not very much like the DT770
In what way? From what I've seen so far most people say it's similar in that it has a similar sound signature but its open back so has the expected changes with that and sounds better overall due to the better drivers.

The response calling them shitty retard treble cannons was a real response. That's what they are, factually and objectively. You asked a question but would clearly prefer a positive response to a truthful one.

>>62185971
Anon has listened to the DT 990s, anon. I'm pretty sure he knows. Kek. Imagine a "v-shaped" headphone with no treble

>>62185954
They're almost the same price as the MDR-EX15LP, so I'll give them a try, thanks

soup /hpg/

I have a pair of Steelseries Siberia gayming headphones that are starting to fall apart. Would like to upgrade to something durable and repairable that'll last me 5-10 years. Think I'd like an open design so I'm not totally unaware of the outside world (aware enough to listen for the doorbell, or hear if my girlfriend says something in the room). Going to use a Shure SM58 with an interface for my new mic.

Looking for something reasonably budget, $150 and under only. Would feel comfortable in the $90-100 range.

>>62185971
>>62186005

I don't know what point you're trying to make. The ~3 kHz resonance is supposed to be there on >>62186366 and >>62186155 as accurate headphones will have a large resonance at ~3 kHz. The large 9 kHz peak on >>62186155 is not supposed to be there.

"Heard" is subject to confirmation bias.

>>62186770
No one is making new type 4 tapes anymore. The ones you get of ebay and the like are NOS.

>>62187058
Confirmation bias aside, there is a huge difference in measuring raw frequency response of a driver and actually wearing a pair of headphones that have been built around that driver to make it sound good when its on a persons head.

If flat frequency response graphs made good headphones every manufacturer could easily do that.

>>62187115

>>62187171
They give you a pretty good general idea of the sound signature, but you can't look at a raw frequency response graph and say the highs will be piercing. The design of the headphones can easily change it from "piercing" to "detailed" when you actually listen to them.

Already had this discussion with you and posted my headphones, and of course you didn't reply back to me. The 600's and 650's are both better than the k712. The 712 is quite good in general though.

I posted my 600's, I literally have nothing else because I don't want or need multiple headphones. I love how you think it's impossible for someone to think that the 600 is better than the 712. I bought them from ebay, they were made in slovakia I think and they came with a nice faux suede bag. I really like them but the 600's are better. Most people in general prefer the 600.

>>62187354
Actually the HD600 looks better no argument. It looks like a cheap Halloween toy.

>>62185309
Why lcd-2?
it's not really decided, but right now it's either hd-800 or lcd-2. I've heard that details are more present in the 800's but that the sound is more "natural" in the lcd-2. That the lcd-2 has a warmer tone with a deeper bass. isn't this true?

Possibly, that would depend on your actual behavior. You can see that I'm not shitposting or baiting and I'm actually praising the 712's. Look at my pic, the two on the left literally came with my old 702 and k712, that's why they're screw on. Compare them to the one that came with yours.

>>62187556
I believe you :)

>>62187579
Good, if that's actually you. The 712 are my third fav headphone behind the 650 and 600 and the 702 are probably my 4th.. I really like them but not as much as those two. Nothing I have tried has come close to the 650, nevermind the 600 imo.

I'll put it another way, if frequency response was all that mattered, changing the ear pads on headphones would do nothing to the sound.

Changing the ear pads on headphones usually changes the frequency response, sometimes quite dramatically.

Pic related, use it on travels (specially when i don't have enough room in the backpack for bigger headphones or don't want to take something expensive to somewhere i don't know), have an EQ setting for it on the sansa clip, no stage at all, but it get's flat enough and isolates well. It's rather cheap too.

>>62187368
There's been a critique of his argument I could make that I've put off for a very long time.
I haven't been particularly motivated to elaborate on it. If you keep bugging me, I might write something.
PDR errors can be seen in free air measurements. This will comes from mutlpathing of the pinna. IHL can be done even for narrowband noise and sinusoid wave bursts.

To put it simply, I find Griesinger's interpretation of measured results and of the papers from Theile and Moller to be extremely problematic.


>>62187414
That is a property of respective their transfer functions, which you do have an ability to compensate for. As it would happen, the LCD-2 and HD800 are some of the better baseline sets to work with.

As for LCD-2 being warmer, I'm not so sure. It doesn't have the ~6kHz rise on the HD800, but it does have more of a rise further up into the treble. People usually don't mind that type of boost so much, and they call it airy or open or something.

I don't think this is correct, because k712 are supposed to be a slight improvement (more bass) over k702, which is clearly not the case here. I think headroom fucked up somehow here.
I'm not trying to defend k712, I have never even owned or listened to k712 (did to k612 and 702, both very good headphones, better than widely shilled here HD598) and I don't really give a fuck about your childish fights over best brand. Just trying to point this out, because there is clearly something very wrong going on.

LCD-2 is dry af without EQ. The warm buttery sound you always hear about is either pre-fazor or fazor with a bass boost. It's why the LCD-2 + iDSD / iCAN SE are often sold and bought together.

HD 600 OR 650?

I do like a bit more bass in my music. Is it worth spending the extra for a 650?

>>62189415
The 600 is better, it's even better with a tiny sub bass boost. Either way, I'm sure you would be happy. Maybe go for the 650 if you care about bass that much. They're both amazing and similar.

I have nothing to offer you about the soundstage, since this hasn't been my experience at all.
The only really noticeable variable that had any apparent effect on soundstage was the magnitude response, which is already known. After attempting to correct for that by EQ, soundstage is unavoidably altered.
I guess you could boil down the difference to open vs. closed though. Less subbass than DT770, doesn't have the low-mid suckout of DT770. I make it seem a lot like the DT990. But more sensitive.

>>62189706
Lack of low midrange boost. Flat response from bass to 1kHz or so. Lacks the bass bump that can makes most open backed moving coil headphones sound unclear.

>>62189706
Boring. The bass extends low because it's planar but that doesn't mean shit if you can't hear or feel it. It's brighter than you'd think an audeze should be because of the fazor but it lacks the resolution you'd normally get from a brighter headphone. It's just dry and boring stock, it's missing the musicality you expect from the lcd-2.

Anyone else feel like binaural never sounds as real as people say it does? It makes the imaging great but it still sounds like it's coming from the headphones an inch away.

>>62189176
>I have never even owned or listened to k712

I suggest Schiit Fulla 2. It costs like 50% more than your lindy thing in the EU distributors for schiit, but you'll save yourself a load of trouble.

Don't even bother with the spdif, it's going to be noisy all the same, and noisy even if you power it from some other usb power source. if the USB power is not sanitised properly, your usb soundcard sucks.

My assumptions about what? I'm saying there is something obviously wrong with headroom k712 FR graph, which is used by shitposters here.
It's pretty fucking obvious when you compare it to other AKG headphones.

My sister just started to get into music and I want to get her a pair of headphones, from what I saw in her iPod she listens to a bunch of crap (I'm also thinking she might be a /mu/tant) that doesn't really need bass
I am thinking Sennheiser HD 461 since those were my first headphones (just because I never contemplated other options) but would like to know if there is anything better

I started with the M-Audio Key station 49 two years ago (I'm 29) and I upgraded to my pic related. It's semi weighted, so it doesn't feel shit. I like it but I'm sure it's not good compared to an actual piano. I haven't tried one since I was a kid messing around. It definitely feels quality and it's well made. It just won't have that hammer weight quality. The one you want will be more piano like.

How much better is the Magni 2 and,Modi 2 vs Fulla 2 for HD600?

What are the pros and cons of the Etymotics HF5 versus MC5? I can get both at the same price (the HF5 is used though).

>>62190231
>I haven't tried one since I was a kid messing around.
I did a year or so of piano as a choice subject back in high school (been forever). We used bring-your-own-device toy-tier keyboards (mine was some 4-voice casio thing I still have back at parents, operational in good condition like everything mine) but we did exams in a wall piano, which felt so awesome.
Then, at some point, music teacher was kind enough to take us (less than 15 person) somewhere where each of us was able to use a full-sized proper grand-piano for a few minutes.
Let's just say my behringer shit is simply not enough after having tried that ;)

>>62187292
This video should be added to the OP.

>>62190209
After comparing the 400i with HD600, I can say the 400i have much less bass than they appear. The 600 sounds bassier, even down to 40hz. The 2K suck out on the HE400i muffles vocals, but at the same time vocals that sound fatiguing or harsh on the HD600 sound more comfortable on the 400i. The 400i is also much brighter in the mid/upper treble and is more sibilant.

>>62189530

Thanks guys. Time to throw away 500$ maple bux

>>62190318
I figured I'd have to use EQ on either or but I still think I should pick on their raw performance and the less I have to EQ the better. It's so hard to choose, man.
Maybe I'll just flip a coin.

>>62190236
>Modi 2
Not at all. It's just a fulla 2 in a bigger case with less functionality at the same price.
>Magni 2
It'll sound better than the fulla 2 near max volume. Exactly the same otherwise. Getting such a volume from the Magni 2 will require you to have your gain switch set to HIGH, which with the HD600 is insane loud anyways.
>the bottomline
Get Fulla 2 if you have nothing. Get Magni 2 if you have a Fulla 2 and you find yourself past 2 o'clock on the volume wheel a lot.

>>62190236
I owned the hd600 with with the fulla 2 until I realized that it does distort past a certain volume point. I then bought the magni and used my fulla purely as a dac. Honestly, it sounds better to me, especially at higher volumes. I use an EQ but even without one you're mostly pushing distortion city with that amp. I ended up selling my fuilla to buy a modi and complete my stack. I can't say theres any audible improvement there and that's not why i bought it. I just wanted the stack for aesthetic reasons and les cable mess.

To clarify, I think the magni sounds better. The dacs seem the same.

>>62190347
>I don't like to EQ
HD600's the headphone that will sound the best without EQ, generally speaking (not just against the hifiman).

>>62190364
The amps were the main thing I was wondering about. I've heard some say the fulla 2 was perfectly fine but then I also hear that the Magni 2 has more power so I was wondering if not just the volume but the sound was better.

>>62190347
Both are good headphones. You just have to decide if the extra $50 for the 600 is worth the better customer support and QC. I have both so I'm not really biased either way. Oh, and the 400i has great wife soundstage, if that's something you care about.

;_; Well it's not mine originally so at least my wallet didn't get chinked.

I have a SMSL Sanskrit 6 DAC as well, but I can't get its drivers to work with Windows 10. My Dad reported to get it working (plug & play) with his Mac.

>>62190302
That sounds amazing to me now. My only memories of music class are using shit keyboards and flutes lmao. I had zero interest in it back then. The roland I showed you fits on my npull out draw. If I had the space I'd get a full sized hammer action one but at this point it's not a priority. Maybe in the future.

>>62190236
Just get the Fulla 2, with Magni 2 as upgrade path if you find you like your HD600 loud as fuck.
The fulla2 is the maximum value per money you'll get from schiit, and since it's small-sized, it'll be useful somewhere, even if you someday buy something crazy like a jotunheim.
>modi 2
Is just fulla's dac in a bigger box, without all the other functionality in the fulla 2.
>modi2 uber, multibit
Have different inputs (spdif, coax) and a wallwart replaces usb power, so they do at least make some sort of sense beyond aesthetics.

>>62190236
Modi 2 is a subpar DAC, but it works well enough. I don't know anything about the Fulla 2, but I don't expect anything better from it in that regard.
Magni 2 has substantially more gain (voltage multiplier) and output voltage than Fulla 2.

>>62190209
400i midrange drops off at bit below 1kHz until the peak around 8-10kHz.
HD 600 and HD650 should have more bass than 400i until you bring up the subbass range. 600 should have more pronounced rolloff than the HD 650.

>>62190394
My honest opinion is that the magni sounds better than the fulla. I was showing my normie friend some stuff with the fulla and then the magni connect to the fulla and he mentioned how full and nice it sounds compared to the fulla. That was my genuine opinion in the first place. I didn't really expect him to notice it.

With all products at a certain price point, these differences are small. The gap between the fulla and magni is small. Don't expect magic. It's only worth it if you care enough, and can afford it.

>>62190527
In any event, if the Anon has no external DAC, the fulla2's own dac is a better idea than a computer's lineout going straight to the magni.
Because it ensures Anon's not getting fucked by his computer's lineout; he'll get the same (good) sound no matter what computer he plugs his fulla2 to.
>full and nice
Were they volume matched? (below 0.2dB... as while humans do 1dB consciously really well, they still perceive 0.2dB subconsciously... and louder is perceived as better, screwing any non-matched tests)

>>62190585
I 'matched' it as best I could by hand. I ould hear the fulla's distortion at certain volumes and that's what made me sell it./ I have spent so much fucking money on audio equipment as it is that I felt I was cucking myself with that ting. It's realy good but you have to be conscious of how igh the vle is turned up on that thing. I bought the magni to get rid of that problem and it's worked perfectly. I also think that it sounds a tiny bit nice in general, maybe it the fact that it doesn't distort at higher volumes. Who knows, who cares. Like I said I ended up buying the modi and it sounds exactly the same as the fulla's dac to me. I just ended up buying these things in a weird order. I couldn't be happier worth my 600 and stack now I can't see myself changing anything for a very very long time.

Define your target and work towards it. Otherwise you get nowhere.
Earphones are generally linear. Small displacement of the driver can generate pressure inside the ear canal. A nicely made moving coil will generally be free of distortion, and be subject to reduced dependency on leak, insertion depth, and ear sleeves.
IOW, earphones max out fast with EQ and full convolution operations. Theoretically ideal sound reproduction devices.

At 0dB, it's completely flat.

>>62191679
so how is what I said nonsensical. CIEMs are great but typically cheaper ones have only one BA driver, so they run into IMD issues and usually have poor bass. At $500 you can get 2-3 drivers and a properly designed crossover which remedy's both those problems while keeping the advantages of balanced armature.

Meanwhile with universal you can get that for cheaper ($300-400) in either a hybrid or full BA design and crossover.

Thank you, I will try harder to make up my mind regarding exactly what I want and narrow options. I've decided to save some more before ordering so I've given myself about 4 more weeks of research. This is a big purchase for me.
>>62191609
Ety is tempting, for sure. Heir though, I mentioned them a few days ago. Someone said that they're b& from headfi? The fuck is up with that?

I don't care enough to look at possible name fag differences, but if that's you, then your opinion is completely fucking void. I knew that anyway from the last few weeks of browsing this place, after a long break, but fucking hell.

>>62191936
I don't have access to the MK5 and I don't want to bother with adapters. I'm very surprised by how according to frequency graphs the MC5 on it's own would be more neutral than the HF5 that is twice as expensive.

>>62191889
I put my SPL reader next to my HD600 but it's reading 41.9 DB. Would upgrading to the NFB-11 lower its SPL? I don't want to get tinnitus so please help.

>>62191950
Not anon, but have you... say... actually caught the Tripfag samefaggin...?

>>62191958
NFB-11 is so fucking sexy. You should just buy it anyway.

>>62191941
But I want to raise the volume with one hand while masturbating with other and still be able to use the function keys if needed.

>>62191958
>41.9 DB.
That's nowhere near dangerous. Just keep your usual listening volume under 70dB.

He is a proven samefagger - and this is obvious fact. If you dispute this you are either him samefagging or one of his IRC cronies.

I'm neither, but stop and calm yourself. Do you actually... have any proof?

>>62191769
The primary advantages of balanced armatures are in sensitivity, efficiency, and compact form factor. Those are the main ones, unless you count the high inductance to manipulate the HF response as a "pro". Unlike more commonplace transducers, condenser and electrodynamic for instance, the balanced armature is inherently non-linear by its very drive principle.

The stiffness of the balanced armature that enables increased output from the ear's own resonances presents mixed results in itself. The diaphragm itself has multiple nodes in-band that are not easily remove by low order filters you would normally see in an IEM. The stiffness is greater than that of the acoustic transmission line that is the blocked ear canal, setting up an additional strong resonance.


>>62191566
Why are you buying the harder to fit model?

>>62192002
Watch out. He's going to make paranoid schizophrenic connections in threads from more than a month ago as "proof" of my samefagging.

He has no proof. He's a schizoid autist who's mad Daddy is back.

>>62191949
Pretty sure heir audio started as a guy on headfi making CIEMs for people with beautiful custom shells and artwork. Eventually he founded with his friend a company in China. They split too and I think he went on to found Noble audio, and it eventually led to some headfi soap opera bs.

I could be wrong but that's what I've read from various sources.

>>62192002
>I'm neither
Do you have proof?

>>62191980
Took the words out of my mouth. Plebspotter is a known anti 600 shitposter. We don't mind different opinions here, but you're literally a piece of shit and we don't want you here.


It's this simple, either you same fag, or you have 2 other wankers that want to suck your dick, which doesn't make any sense.

>>62192037
>Why are you buying the harder to fit model?
Because it appears to be more neutral. Also, it can't really be that bad, can it?

>>62192050
The most likely theory is that he's part of an IRC group, or rather discord (that's what all the retards use these days), and they conduct shitposting raids on here. That's when you get the spam of the cracked headbands and his usual spiel about distortion and whatnot.

it's okay, they do this every other thread. basically one person posts ***proof*** of my samefagging that's based on repeated assumptions while unironically samefagging his posts with "HA I KNEW HE SAMEFAG" bullshit. Then they shitpost "MOAR THD IS BETTAH" studies and the famous "MUH HRTF DIFFUSE FIELD" argument.

>>62192151
Nope, check the archive. The tripfag is obviously not a credible source because he has proven multiple times he is unable to understand audible thresholds of different orders of harmonic distortion and the effect of HRTF on frequency response.

Fucking hell, my eyes glaze over aft 5 words of your posts. You are so predictable, and blatantly the main anti 600 poster that it's unreal.

Keep maming threads, keep posting 60 snap pics, keep posting literally anything anti 600 whether it comes down to drivers, or graphs.

You are absolutely tapped in the head lmao.

>>62192183
In my experience the 10K peak is actually around 7K. Obviously, it may just be my ears though. Otherwise looks like what I hear.

HD600 has pretty good bass, HE400i does it better. HE400i has pretty good mids, HD600 does it better. HE400i has a hint of shrillness at 9k and my 2 day old pair that replaced a defective pair is starting to tear at the pad stitching.

>>62191949
At the risk of tl;dr-

I do advocate using EQ to maximize sound quality. Sometimes it is not immediately available, but at worst it helps narrow down your target.
Think about the comfort as well and how you will use the product. If you are on the go a lot, or have loudspeakers at most of your fixed media consumption spots, earphones may be advantageous. If you are less mobile and don't want to use loudspeakers, closed back stuff may work better.

There are other differences in, isolation for one. Earphones, much like earplugs, can have higher isolation than their over-the-ear counter parts. The real result will depend on ventilation, sleeve material, and insertion depth.
Insertion depth comes into play when you consider the occlusion effect. You might recognize this as the low frequency noise you get while walking or talking when you close off your ears with a finger. The two general solutions to counter this problem are:
-Ventilate the crap out the earpiece so that it has little isolation
-Force the earpiece to the reference plane, the bony part of the ear at the second bend.
This is part of why Etymotic has its design. It is easy to define anatomically and hard to force something past this. Not everyone finds this comfortable, even with custom earpieces. Ety are hardly the only earphone that are built around a deep fit, but they don't sound so nice outside the optimal depth.

>The fuck is up with that?
Drama over company ownership and profits made the company split. Sockpuppet accounts made on Head-Fi got Heir kicked out. At least, that's what I recall.
As for the 4.ai, I don't like it. Hard dip in lower treble, almost certainly from poor x-over matching.

>>62192227
yes that's why it's a fucking pity their measurements show distortion comparable to cheap earbuds off bestbuy

Hi /g/
I have a question for audio experts, so I thought I'd try posting here

I have a really really crappy phone. The audio output of that thing is straight garbage and makes it completely useless to listen to music in my car. I want to spend ~$30 bucks to solve this problem. Is there something I can buy on Amazon? A headphone amp or a cheap mp3 player?
