>but I asked because I want to expand my musical horizons
Frank Zappa's Hot Rats.

>>62326564
I do like tsubasa a lot of course. And she was my favorite before shirabe was a thing.
Idk. Maybe I like her darker hair. Maybe her personality. Maybe the seiyuu (same as ayase eli, yoshino nanjo, fripSide). Maybe the twintails. Maybe I'm a rorikon.

What are those on-ear headphones that clip over your ears? Alternatively, is there a name for that style design? I want to get a pair that have no head band but aren't in-ear either.

I can't wear earbuds. They harm ears (usual headphones sure do too).
Believe me not, I am conductor and organ player, all the shit you discuss is just inane (sorry). I value comfort most, so I don't want my phones to be either very heavy or covering ears in unnatural manner (all the stuff that has "holes" in cups is unnatural).

Since this is mostly a visual thing than anything, looking through online lists rn, just found Harman/Kardon Soho Wireless appealing, so could you tell me anything of them?

>>62330190
You're not going to power these from a computer or headphone amp.
Most likely, you'll get something that comes with its own power supply/amp. The fulla2 line out/dac out would be a good source for your speakers.
Something like LSR305 + LSR310S would do the trick.

Headphones, then. Fulla 2 will likely power them well.

Thanks for pointing me at what I need to look at tho.

Can someone please post ACCURATE fr graphs for the he560, th6xx, and hd600? I'm looking into all of them but people so often complain about which graph is posted about which headphone that I just don't know what to trust.
I think I'm able to understand what the FR graphs are saying though, it seems pretty straight forward.

Don't meme on me nigger. They're good headphones but only through the virtue of EQ and only in the context of their very low price. It's a super comfortable headphone with competent drivers and good build. Pic related is my EQ. I prefer it to the one I did with a tone generator. It's just by ear to electronic music while referencing the FR.

Mm, so I just found out my little bastard cat destroyed my Xiaomi Pistons 3.0.

Since those are discontinued, are there any easy to get headphones that have a quality similar to these?

What I'm mostly pissed about are that these are the headphones I use to talk to my friends, so really, mic quality is my main concern.

Preferably cheaper in price as well.

The forbidden duo.

I prefer the HD 600 over the DT 880. I didn't find any comfort issues with the HD 600. Can't feel the clamping force so many people complain about. For me it feels as comfy as the DT 880.

>>62332866
It depends on head size. Clamping on HD600 is a problem for people with big heads mostly.

The "deathclamp" is very exaggerated and the headphone is rather comfy after a weak of use. I sometimes fall asleep wearing them.

>>62333813
It's an easily fixed problem but IMO not exaggerated. My 600 was way too tight until i stretched the metal bands.

Anything reasonably small without vents. Off the top of my head
Etys, DBA-02 and variants, AF180, the Klipsch X20. Deep fit is mandatory to remove bass rumble.

Concha fit earpieces can be difficult to work with if you don't get a really long stem sleeve, which will have its own sonic consequences (reverse horn, tube eigenmodes).

Probably because the Valhalla 2 is OTL and outputs at a higher impedance.

Hope I'm not too late but no DO NOT buy that thing. It is strictly outclassed at this point. You're better off either getting a good dac from like hifimediy since it will still be powerful enough to drive the m50, a dac/amp combo like the fx audio dac x6, or a slightly higher end dac/amp combo maybe the micca origen+.
You won't keep using your m50's forever and I suggest just buying something nice if you can afford it so you can get whatever headphones you want in the future with out caring about your dac/amp.
e10k is really very weak power-wise.

1080 is a very bad buy right now in my personal, subjective, opinion. Between it being a midrange card hardware wise and it being late in it's life as well as the seemingly permanent increase in demand for GPUs from training data sets, mining, and the growing pc market all make it seem like it's going to get btfo very soon. I suppose the 11gbps one has a decent outlook but really the only pascal card to buy right now is the 1080ti which is 100% worth the extra money.
Also you could have gotten a vega 56 a few times now looking at stock trackers. With it near identical perf to the 1080 with all of the overclocking tricks, amd's history of aging well, and how much you can tweak the card I think it's a better buy than the 1080 even at the same price. People say vega is power hungry but it's only ridiculous when it's performance is pushed to the very max, it actually scales DOWN very very well and is why they're going to use it in APUs and shit instead of polaris. If you're playing something you have too much gpu for with vega you can drop it's power a shit ton.
Anyway I think I'm going to buy those he400is instead of the hd600.
>>62336728
The 250ohm beyers sound like shit on it compared to my dac x6. iirc to hit 90db(leaves a lil room for quiet recordings and eq) on a 250ohm dt you need 25mw into 250ohm. I mean for christ's sake the thing only does 200mw into 32ohm which is something like 20mw at 250. The dac x6 can do 910mw at 32ohm. It's shit. Trash. Outdated. Do not ever buy one of these.

>>62336803

Alright let me ask you at $120 are there better alternatives?
I actually liked everything about these. I can't test the sound obviously, but everything else.

>>62336627
You still got something that's all that matters. The next upgrade if you want something better in the future is the HD600 with a Fulla 2 or Magni 2 or any decent amp.

>wasting your money on headphones and speakers rather than just be making use of your calculator collections

Hahaha, bunch of buyer's remorse around these parts. You'll be broke in no time now that the wool's been pulled over your eyes indefinitely

>>62338329
it depends on your headphone which freq, but 60hz subbass is the sweet spot where it hits you but doesn't muddy the mids. The issue with open backs like the sennheisers is the speaker will hit max excursion before it does and it will clip and distort. you need a chamber to contain it otherwise you don't get quite the effect

>>62338428
So what's available around 300€ for good impact without fucking up the mids too much and no sibilant treble?

>>62338295
Neither LCD2, X, 3, or EL-8 suffer from treble roll off. If anything, the stuff 10kHz and up categorically sticks out compared to just about everything else.
>open backs
Leaky baffle and earpads. The back does not change this.
But leak is opposed to low frequency extension. Max excursion is not a part of this.

>>62338329
>bass impact
I always though it referred to the boom of a drum. A lift from 40-100 Hz usually does that.

>>62338389
But is it possible to EQ those calculators to sound like HD800?

>>62336815
Vega 56 being anywhere close to 1080.
Stopped reading there

>>62338481
>no sibilant treble
TH-X00 has sibilance but you either get used to it or you can pad swap
>>62338517
they are slightly rolled off.
and yes open backs do make a huge difference when it comes to subbass impact. You can get bass impact with a hifiman for example but it's not going to be at the level of a closed, or ported, dynamic. max excursion is definitely a limiting factor if we are talking about pushing bass with the eq to get impact

>iirc to hit 90db(leaves a lil room for quiet recordings and eq) on a 250ohm
Power is such a weird way to describe a load. It's too convoluted to be useful, and your amplifier doesn't work on that basis anyway.
Nominally it should be a few hundred microwatts for the DT 990. But that depends on the frequency, the impedance modulus and phase angle. Too much work for something that already required you to know the actual transfer function of your headphone.

>>62338586
>they are slightly rolled off.
Audezes have more peaks at 20kHz and above, they have rising response going into the top octave. But whatever.
>it's not going to be at the level of a closed, or ported, dynamic
Ah.
Yes, the rear cavity can be used to serve as an LF Helmholtz resonator. You generally don't have that element in an open backed headphone.
You do sacrifice the infinite bass by introducing the pressure equalizer in the form of a vent.
>max excursion is definitely a limiting factor
These aren't OB woofers. As long the chamber provides some effective opposition to airflow, you aren't going to see that 2nd order rolloff. This decreases compliance, limiting excursion. Places a strong playback/EQ level restriction with something like the Audio Technica AD series, but not most other headphones. Although I don't think using the HD600 for <20Hz content is a good idea.

The coil drivers have a fair bit of excursion to give, so you aren't running into xmax so easily.

>>62331714
Stop being a contrarian and just enjoy the best sounding headphones.

>>62338873
>Places a strong playback/EQ level restriction

The dac x6 can just do it with very little room left over after a modest EQ with only like -5.5 on the preamp. If I'm not retarded I think it should be able to go way lounder looking at numbers but it does not. My old dragonfly black I use for my iems now could get it to a listening level at 100% output but it sounded like absolute dog shit, even more so than the 990's usually do. There is a guide somewhere going into the differences between the entire line and it suggests OTL tube amps as a nice option, something to do with them being better suited for it but of course solid state is fine.
Personally really want to hear what tube distortion sounds like.

https://www.head-fi.org/threads/how-to-automatically-eq-your-headphones-to-online-measurements-a-step-by-step-guide.854773/ HD600 treble likely only requires a single filter at ~7.5 kHz to remove treble resonance resulting from acoustic impedance mismatch between driver and eardrum. <1 kHz response should be trivial to equalize to Etymotic-like flatness with the method in above link.

>>62338428
Most open dynamics EQ just fine to Etymotic-like flatness, or even Harman target, without audible distortion. I have EQ'd KSC-75 to Harman target without audible distortion, and they have a stronger sub-bass rolloff than most open headphones. Bass distortion is a lot harder to perceive than you think.

Then why even come here to attempt to shill your niggerbass as superior to accurate? Makes no sense to me.

I never said it was superior, you just can only think in terms of superiority. It's not about that at all, it's about undeserved hate on elevated bass. And that undeserved hate makes you a normie and sheeple just like the rest of headfi, reddit, and other audiophiles.

>>62342455
It's not undeserved though. The effects of auditory masking means that you will hear the most detail in your music from an accurate sound signature. Any coloration is therefore bad, and so you get shit on for liking niggerbass, like how others get shit on for liking ear rape treble, etc. Stop whining about your perceived persecution. Attempts to paint accurate as "normie" is about as dumb as attempting to paint properly color calibrated monitors at "normie".

how is that volume knob? pic related is not mine, I just bought earlier but the black and red version

>AMD
My R9 270x, FX-6300 has served me very well over the last few years. Then again I only play weeb games. It's handling Tales of Berseria at 1080p, max settings just fine right now.

>They're tortilla chips
my store sells these tortilla chips that are just dripping with grease. Every time I finish a whole bag I wake up in the middle of the night and get real close to puking because it doesn't sit well. I think I puked once, they taste great though definitely worth it

Not using it (I use fulla 2 / magni 2's knobs) so can't really say, but before I got the schiit, I can tell you that I kinda liked the das keyb knob only until I tried the k70's volume wheel (like a mouse wheel). Turns out, I did kinda prefer the mouse-wheel-like thing.
Volume knobs just aren't the same when they just endless-spin in place for relative adjustment, rather than be set to a specific position within a limited range of movement for absolute adjustment.

>>62342894
Next time I go to the hifi store I will?

I don't buy shit I don't like to btfo sennshills on hpg.

Eww.

>>62342912
I refuse to sit without putting my feet up, so my volume knob is always too far away and I said fuck it.

I'm hard already just thinking about it

>>62342964
>with programming socks
If I can, I don't wear socks nor shoes when sitting at a computer. It'd be too warm, I err in the cold side.

so everytime my pc wakes up from sleep mode i get no sound from my schiit stack and i have to turn off my modi 2 to get it play audio. is this normal or is my unit defective?

I like my keyboard since it shows it a on screen bar and it uses moves in increments so I can raise or lower to what I want without looking since it's buttons.

No.

Your PC, if anything.
I suggest you play with your usb device and/or controller "power management settings", in device manager.
It's probably leaving the port powered on suspend, while it should not. Or the other way around.
USB is a bitch. I hear Windows 7 is a lot of trouble, and 10 is fine. Linux is also fine.
To not have to deal with it, I got the uber and connected it to computer's spdif out instead of usb.

tfw fell for amd meme and have shit frame pacing and issues in 50% of non-main stream games.

>>62343237
>on screen bar
That's windows, or KDE, or whatever. Nothing to do with your keyboard's drivers.
>>62343254
I used to believe all that bullshit about AMD issues. Until I got an amd card
Turns out, it's more than alright; nvidia does generally feel worse, more bursts-stalls kinda gameplay, instead of smooth.

>>62343253
yeeah that did the trick thanks man.

If you were, as the former student counsel vice president(girl), sexually attracted to the former student counsel president(girl) what headphones would you wear?
I think the msr7 because they're nippon af and bright for those wonderful shrill 15 year old nippon voices.

My G502 is working fine with the Logitech software and the mousepad calibration. Fucking love this mouse.

>>62343324
I like the on screen volume so I installed it for that. Is that a problem?

>>62343331
HD600, because they reproduce elicchi's voice the best.
And they're comfy enough to finger herself while wearing them.

That's a terrible attempt at a transparency, holy shit. You have to do that shit manually with the pen tool for good results. Magic wand tool doesn't cut it.

>>62343655
yeah I was just bored on my laptop and don't have access to a mouse. Plus it has a 4k screen with unscaled dpi and I didn't care enough to check how zoomed in I was

Cat scratched the flat cable, what to do?

I've been using DT770s for 5 years now and over time the cable has stiffened towards the cans. I mean really stiffened- trying to flex the cable is like trying to flex a biro. Anybody else experienced this and/or knows how to soften it? I've tried warming it up but that only works until it cools back down again (big surprise)
