been using headphones under 20$ my entire life. got me a pair of AT ath m40x headphones 3 days ago and now i'll never buy anything below 20$

Never refer to headphones as "cans" ever again

>>68748269
i was thinking of getting these

they seemed really good for the price

>>68748479
I really like them
They're clean, they don't fabricate anything and while they may be a "bit" flat I think it offers a nice balance in all the sound and it's my first "audiophile" headphones
The reason I got the Velour replacement pads was just for comfortably sake and it made the sound a bit more warm which is fine. I highly recommend them myself.

>>68748520
they remind me when you could go into the mall and listen to music at the store

Akg K550 and a pair of sennie 555s

>>68748174
>LCD-2s
Have yours repeatedly failed for no fucking reason at all?
I'm on my second pair under warranty and they've taken a combined 7 trips overseas. I'm jealous of their jetsetting lifestyle.

Any headphone recs ~$200 or less?

>>68747568
Sennheiser Momentum, I might have fallen for a meme but I like them

Akg m220. Was a limited edition colorway of an existing akg headphone. These sound nice, and pretty flat, but pleasant. Not harsh on the ears like the headphones I use for djing, some pioneer closed back headphones. Perfect for home or studio listening.

>>68752165
Lmao dude I'm not spamming, I'm just posting my setup. I remember there being a dude who spammed his obsessive gear setup with all these headphones over 1000 dollars each and his vinyl record setup. Stop fucking bullying me because I choose to care about high end audio equipment, god.

>>68748269
Open-back or closed-back?
If open-back is an option, go for the Beyerdynamic DT 880 or Sennheiser HD 600. On the closed-back side, there's the Beyerdynamic Custom Studio, Shure SRH840 or 940.
All those are pretty neutral, should sound similar to your cans, but with more details and stuff.

At home: German Maestro GMP 400. Sounds really similar to the Beyerdynamic DT 880 and is really comfortable.
On the go, Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro. They're good, but IMO they're better if you boost the highs via EQ

sennheiser HD 215

+awesome in that price range
+non fatiguing and somehow neutral sound
+good comfort
+no need for an amp or dac
+great for movie and game too

-build quality sucks like the rest of the sennheiser headphones
- leather earing gets warm during summer and long listening
-lacks bass(i mean boom boom, overall the bass sound is great)

Shitty soundcard notebook here - do phone quality even matter that much at this point? How expensive can/should I go?

I use Philips 1900 SHMs for 6 years and been thinking about moving up for a change.

>>68752673
Same

>>68752673
lmao

>>68752796
you can get a usb DAC for cheap that will blow away your onboard sound. also "gaming" headsets usually have shit sound

>>>/g/hpg

>>68752796
I use phillips new Fidelio l2s. If u wanna stay in the phillips brand, I highly recommend them. They could be a little more comfortable but otherwise I have only great things to say about them. Maybe the larger version with the bigger headband would be best.

>>68753112
Oh god, no... I bought a very similar Philips once (in terms of anatomy) and it hurt so bad (I use glasses). The thing I like the most about the 1900 SHM is the comfort, will probably go only for models with huge cups like that.

>>68752888
Interesting to know! I'll look into it. The main thing for me is how low the sound is in this notebook, even my previous 6 years old dying laptop is louder.

is the audioengine d1 DAC a meme for headphones?

Soundmagic E10s at the moment. Had them for a year or two

Going to use a pair of Sony MDV-V6s after I'm done with these.

>>68752177
I still want em but god damn why couldn't they stay at $60

>>68754006

MDR-V6*

I have pic related for mains and they serve me WELL

When I'm feeling like a hedonist I toss on some Sony MDR MA 900s into a tube amp and just fap myself to sleep.

Sennheiser Momentums. Perfect sound.

>>68754006
How do you like those? I have been looking for a decent pair of in ear headphones that will not break after a month of use like my few pairs.

>>68748444
Likewise

>>68752888
I was wondering, my mobo is really the most basic you can get, is getting a DAC something I need to for a higher quality of music, or are quality headphones enough?

>>68758278
Both is better than either one, but headphones are the priority

Great headphones on a normal DAC will sound
good
Shit headphones with a great DAC will still sound like shit
Great headphones with great DAC => thumbs up friendo

>>68758374
alright, guess I'll head over to hpg to learn which DAC do I want

I hope we never have anything to do with each other in real life.

Looking to upgrade.

Anybody know of any open headphones that have just as good a soundstage, but with better bass?

on the other hand, my headphones aren't underpowered (or I've not realised) and I don't hear any noise or anything similar, so I might not need to get a DAC anytime soon.

Second best headphones I've ever tried. (First being the Sennheiser HD 800).

Sony MDR MA-900
+ very lightweight
+ comfort
+ great bass for an open back
+ well put together
+ amazing soundstage
+ great for (female) vocals

- fragile
- only sounds amazing at max. volume
- needs a lot of power to max. out volume
- expensive at 300 euro's
- highs can be harsh
- headphone proportions
- non removable cable
- discontinued by manufacturer

If you can get them below 200 dollars/euros then you should def. give them a chance. The headphones have a cult following online.

Any way to know when volume's too high that it could hurt my hearing? Because of this fear I'm listening to music on quite low volume, but I belive that may be ruining the experince in many cases.

>>68759045
Should get a decibelmeter. There are apps for it, not sure how reliable they are.

Different headphones have different volume. It also makes a difference if you're using closed vs. open headphones. Closed trap the lows in which create artificial bass.

I'm not exactly sure what exactly do you mean when you say decibel meter, do you have a certain product in mind?

They're very sturdy (made of metal) and have good quality for the price
Would definitely recommend

not a meme, but not worth it either. if you can find them for a good ass price, go for it

Posted this multiple times and haven't recieved an answer..

I recently switched from Logitech G35 to ATH M40X's.. and the M40X's for some reason sound worse. The maximum volume isn't loud at all, and it sounds pretty flat. Any song that I use to think sounded grand doesn't really give me that punch
