Best closed headphones for sound stage and separation? Preferably under $300.

>>62314397
I've been researching that market and I think the NAD VISO HP50(recently price dropped to 150 from 250) and the Meze 99 Neo would be worthy considerations.
People say that NAD was trying to make the hp50 sound like "good speakers in a good room".
That's all I got.

Viso HP50 is still 300 euros here unfortunately. But I'm keeping both of these in mind for sure.
I have to say I have never heard of the HP50's before and therefore am a bit skeptical, but I'm definitely keeping them in mind. Thanks anon.

Nothing in your price range is going to be better than the HD598, especially without getting an actual amp.

HD600/HD650 sound like ass connected to laptops and shit. Yes they'll make noise, but an actual amp is needed once you start getting better headphones.

It's a death adder. I bought it at Walmart just to test out and return and it rang up as $10 so I bought three.
I'm gonna buy a ultrasone hfi780, Visio hp50, ath msr7, and 99 neo and keep the best one. Then a r70x, hd600, and he400i and do the same thing. I won't feel good about my upgrade unless I do so fuck it

im still tempted though. Are the hinges/headband the same as the TH-X00 or are they better built? If these go on sale for $1000 or something instead, I think I might drop the cash for it.

Does your budget include a headphone amp/DAC?

At that price range any headphones you'd buy would sound like trash connected directly to your PC, your PC simply doesnt expect high end headphones and can't output enough power.

Hmm. Makes sense. Sounds like a whole 'nother can of worms spending money on an amp and DAC but sounds worth it in the end. I'd have to research those too but i'd prolly increase my budget to 1,500 USD to get a decent set up.

With $1500 you can get most of an end-game setup.

Look at HD800, Audeze LCD-2, Mr. speakers, etc.


Sadly at your price point you'll really want to try and test some of the headphones out before buying so i'd look around for audio show rooms.

I run a lot. I like to listen to audiobooks and sometimes music from my cellphone, but the wires bouncing around always creates a thumping noise that drowns out the sound. Any suggestions?

Airpods look ok except A) easily lost, maybe fall out of ear? B) I don't have any other apple products C) it's an apple product, so i'm assuming overpriced for the specs.

If you want Bluetooth, csg is a good place to ask. Lots of good chink shit Bluetooth over the ear and in the ear options. Bluedio is a chinese brand that has a pretty good track record. I have the T2s Turbines, would not recommend sound like dogshit and not the most comfortable. I've been told their other stuff is better, though. Ask around in csg for people who have actually bought them though and make sure you don't buy knock-offs. If you want something non-chink then I suggest the Sony XB950BT EXTRA BASS™ Wireless Headphones. Maximum comfy and good sound quality for Bluetooth. I don't own a pair, but I've borrowed them from a friend before and I liked them a lot.

In defense of the k712 they do bass extremely well for open backs. I'm talking about amazing audible extension all the way to 20Hz.

Everything else is shit but after selling them and than buying the 650s I really miss the bass.

You've pretty much given the template for a HD600 answer.

k712 is anything but neutral. And too much of a rollercoaster @ mids. HD600 is a night&day improvement over that.
>>
>>62316442
> spending money on DACs

Retarded. Something like the E10K or the Fulla 2 already offer fantastic DACs that even though they aren't mathematically end game the human ear is complete shit so in reality there's literally no difference between a 100€ DAC or a 1000€ one

Amps are something else but still an O2 or a Magni 2 is just enough unless you're trying to power the least efficient headphones in the world (600omh AKGs)

Any opinions or experiences with the OPPO PM-3 and/or the NAD Viso HP50's? I'm looking for closed cans that sound as open/wide as they possibly can being closed. Do these produce audio representative for the price? Are the HP50's more than a gimmick?

Don't the HP50 sound really close? They're very warm and bassy with rolled off treble.

Maybe it's just marketing talk but the HP50's are supposed to sound 'like you're listening to speakers in a room'.

Right, but without listening to them it sounds like a bit of a gimmick. You know those stupid sound effects you can throw over your audio? Like a virtual environment that distorts the shit out of all your music. I'm just afraid they put that in a set of headphones.

>>62317396
That's a hard one. There's options, but none is a 100% upgrade on the HD600. There's always tradeoffs.
HD600's recommended a lot because it's so well balanced. Not just the FR being very neutral, but how it does everything well and nothing badly, and how it doesn't need EQ.
As an example, HD800 is an improvement in comfort and potentially sound, but costs way more and does need EQ.
There's options that will give you more bass, like the planars suggested, but have less flat midrange (which is the most important), are sibilant or cost 3x times at much.

NFB-11 - I switch between X2 and M1060 depending on genre.

Honestly though, I spend more time listening to my speakers.

JBL LSR305 + Klipsch R-110SW on my desktop, Pioneer BS22 in the bedroom.

LSR305s are fucking good for the price, the other two were just good deals, but not necessarily strong recommendations for others.

Next audio purchase is probably going to be sub. The current sub's ported, I want to try a sealed one that offers good response on low frequencies. Thinking about a Rhythmik L12 sub - http://www.rythmikaudio.com/L12.html

They're good shit, and that'll work. You'll have to unplug the headphones to switch to the pre-amp outs.

I will warn you, some people have ground hum or computer interference problems when using non-balanced lines. It went away for me when I plugged the speakers, DAC/pre-amp and computer into the same power bar.

i'd personally avoid massdrop-branded headphones myself entirely because of aesthetic, bang for buck aside.

Preamp normally refers to vinyl. Signal from cartridge is very low level and requires very large amount of amplification. Also applies RIAA compensation, but that can be done at any portion of the playback chain.

>>62317065
No, using probe mics is being silly.
Rtings uses the blocked canal mic in a limited sense. At low frequencies, it produces simple and repeatable results.

I'm in the market for new headphones to replace my Sennheiser 598s. I love them, but after several years of near constant use, they have fallen to pieces. They are super comfortable and they sound great to my ears. I discovered over time that they weren't really suited for my use-case as PC headphones, however, mainly because the open back design leaked sound like a faucet. They also weren't particularly robust, and started breaking quite soon after buying them.

I'm looking specifically for headphones to wear while at my computer. They will be worn for long periods of time, so comfiness and durability are more important than sound quality.

Tubes - for when you just don't have enough distortion in your audio chain.

>>62318938
The only benefit of balanced/XLR is improved interference toleration and higher power if your headphones are extremely insensitive pieces of shit. There is no audio quality improvement.

The HD600 is adequate, no more no less. If the recording is meant to sound wide, it'll sound wise. If not, it won't, but in any event it'll be better than the usual closed soundstage.

Pretty much, speakers will always be superior, that's a fact.
>>
>>62314366
I've asked before, but I lost the bookmark of the ones I wanted to buy.

So I need a headset on the cheap that was good sound quality, and I know it's hated in these threads, but a microphone on it too since I game a lot and use it to talk to friends constantly.

I travel a lot and I ruined my microsoft ones (mainly on the outside, the speakers and microphone work flawlessly) but the ear part fell off and it's just easier to get a new one at this point since it's 3 years old.

Any suggestions? I feel like 30-50 would be my price range, I know I won't get AMAZING sound quality, but I don't have a lot of free cash right now.

a closed ear flat monitor headphones with great low end reach available in the EU. I have seen used pairs of ebay go for £70-100. I picked up my ex demo pair in 2012 for £125 I think.

They aren't outside headphones and they fit loosely so will fall of your head. But if you're sitting down for a long time they just sit there... You're not going to notice them until you shake your head.

If you're looking for something more robust look at the 8.35s or similar. There are lots of ex military ones floating about and can be had for cheap. Although only one big cable. They are designed to not be broken.

I mean, cheaper DACs wont support higher resolution or super high bitrate audio like the Modi and O2 will. But if you're just playing normal 16/48 or 24/48khz it wont matter.

If you're playing 24/192khz FLAC or some crazy 32/382khz DSD type shit, you'll need to get something you'll need a DAC that can support it, and that will cost more.

So it depends what you want to do with your DAC and what type of audio you'll be playing.

V-Moda Custom shields.

No idea where he got them from, but they're not exactly super difficult to manufacturer, so you could probably find several places willing to make them for you

They just have more flat edges since they copied the Campfire Andromeda shell while the Tennmak Pro's basically a Chi-Fi SE215.

Another owner here, it is plastic but not a generic type. Its really light and flexible and doesn't creak. And the plastic on the earcup almost feels like metal.

My experience is that these sound like monitoring cans but without the responsiveness. They sound relaxed.
The real annoying factor about these is that they always drop signal on bluetooth every listening session. You can force the signal to drop if you cup your hand on the right earcup and lay on a pillow or something, it has that weak of a signal (but somehow it can still play music when the source is 2 rooms away..).

If you can figure out how to make it work system-wide, https://www.ludd.ltu.se/~torger/brutefir.html would be ideal, as Room EQ Wizard can generate impulse responses for it.
>>
>>62323675
I was fucking with hrir last night, you can use pulseaudio's built in module to apply an hrir:

https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Modules/#index48h3

It's not bad, now the question is, how do you upmix stereo and then apply hrir? like bs2b

Poorfag here, Is the Shp9500 a good upgrade from the HyperX Cloud Core for gaymen?
>>
>>62323717
Ooh. This should mean you can create EQ filters in Room EQ Wizard, export filters as impulse response and load them into Pulseaudio. This should be superior to Pulseeffects since, at first glance, Pulseeffects seems to allow for 15 EQ filters; Room EQ Wizard can export up to 20 filters to impulse response.

that sounds like a god damn pain, I'm okay with pulseeffects for now. I've been trying to find a good solution for virtual 3d on linux. The best idea I've got so far is to customize a tablet kernel and use the tablet as a usb dac and then use android dsps like dolby atmos. I can't be arsed to download 60gb of android to build a kernel, I'll get around to it eventually though
>>
>>62323893
>that sounds like a god damn pain
It should be easier than manually inputting EQ filter values for auto-EQing speakers with Room EQ Wizard, but it does seem like a pain to generate and load a new impulse response every time you want to test manual EQ adjustments to headphones with a sine wave generator. Still, seems necessary if you want more than 15 filters.
>>
>>62323944
the solution is just to submit a PR for pulseeffects, but it's also pain. I was working on adding bs2b but there's so much duck typing. I duck typed all the UI interface code and built the app... nothing updated :|

everything audio related on linux somehow manages to be a pain lol

If you want treble, ZS5. If you don't Tennmak Pro.

https://forums.solydxk.com/viewtopic.php?t=5725 seems to be a solution for system-wide bs2b. Be aware that pic related is the effect of bs2b's default settings on frequency response. It's easy to generate correction filters for this using the methods described by https://www.head-fi.org/threads/how-to-automatically-eq-your-headphones-to-online-measurements-a-step-by-step-guide.854773/ as you just need to digitize this image, load it as a frequency response in Room EQ Wizard and automatically generate correction filters for it.
>>
>>62324197
Also, to test the effect on frequency response of non-default settings of bs2b, use VST Plugin Analyzer, found at http://www.pcjv.de/applications/measurement-programs/ on the VST version of bs2b. I suppose this can all be done in Wine for those who don't dual-boot.

Can one obtain their own HRTF from an audiologist? Two things I'd love are my own HRTF and access to a diffuse field to measure homemade dummy head response with.

I always thought you had to go one of the conventions and get it measured there. I have no clue if an audiologist could do it, but they'll still always be lackluster compared to a headtracking solution

you'd think we'd have software for this stuff already lol

At how high an impedance do you actually need an amp to make your headphones work properly?
Does it even matter if I always listen to music at very low volume because I don't want tinnitus?
>>
>>62324668
impedance isn't the only factor to consider.
>>
>>62324668
It's dependent on what amount of power the amp puts out at a given impedence, and if the headphone has any major impedence swings that make it dependent on being driven by an amplifier.
>>
>>62324668
>At how high an impedance do you actually need an amp to make your headphones work properly?
HD600 is 300ohms. The AKG K701 is 62ohms.

The 600s are by far easier to drive than the AKGs especially on the bass.

That's, like, your opinion. Most prefer HD600. Objectively, it's more accurate. HD650 is dark and in exchange slightly mid-forward and a little bassy.
>they need to be aware of their limitations
That you're thinking they are not that good is likely to do with the fact you got the HD650 instead.
>>62326064
Just don't fuck up like some recent anon that said it sounded muffled and actually hadn't plugged the entire big jack adaptor that came with the HD600 cable. It clicks into position.
>>62326187
Was it schiit or a redistributor? Do you have tracking number? Once they actually send it at the shop, it's out of their hands. If it's been a full week and it hasn't left the source, websupport/email or call them to ask wtf.
