Black Friday Headphones Thread

Closed cups = fuck no.

The whole reason these headphones, and by "these" i mean "all the models that look like these that you might have seen around", are good, is because they have open cups

Sennheiser exclusively makes ugly ass overpriced garbage for autistic reddit neckbeards who are into wet shaving and fountain pens. Save up and get real headphones.

but I want to listen to them on the bus and I don't want everyone to hear my gay ass music. What are the best closed headphones then?

Are they really that bad? I may have bought them already.

>>69283415
Never seen this model before but the HD 598 are open back and leak like crazy as a result. Not sure how quiet an over-ear model can be honestly, even closed back

>>69283493
I used to have the kingston hyperx model and they were pretty quiet enough. It's definitely possible.

Get the HD 598, it's like $150 right now.
Ignore anybody that says they're bad.

If you really need a closed back, then this is the best deal you'll get probably. I still think you should get the flagship model though.
>>69283481
What's wrong with either of those things. Writing with my favorite pen is one of the few things I enjoy anymore.

>>69283577

>>69283652
thanks for the honest review anon. Im not much of an audiophile either. just looking for a tough closed pair with decent quality.

>>69283669
>sound leakage
my roomate can hear them when I have them pretty loud, but it results in really good sound placement with classical stuff

>>69283415

>>69283772
Also, they're so comfy I sometimes forget they are on my head, I walked away from my computer to open the door and I broke my laptop screen because they were plugged in.

>>69283481

>he uses shaving cream
hahahhahaha are you gay?

>>69283863

No, but redditors are obsessed with collecting shaving brushes, straight razors, scented aftershave, etc. because it's le classy old fashioned gentlemanly.

Just get the m50x and be done with it. I've had mine for two years and I love them. They're closed, so no sound leaks. I wear them on the train a lot. They sound great, OP. I'm telling you. I know people meme on the m50x a lot, but they're fucking good.

I use apple earphones in public because I got a pair for free from somebody and they have decent sound and built quality (every pair of Sony in-ears I've had has broken.)

These are for home, why would I wear open-back headphones in public anyway?

>>69284296

Apple headphones are cool but they always end up breaking after a few months.

Sennheiser is a bit expensive for some of their headphones but the quality is great and I've had a pair for years that still sound fantastic.

Op, 558 and 598 are both great. Would recommend either unless you can afford their really expensive ones. Technica's are decent too but not as comfortable I find and not quite as great in quality.

>>69284810
Mine haven't broken, plus they were free so who cares if they do. I'd just buy a wireless pair if I really needed a new one anyway.

>>69283481
Wet shaving is for alphas, you crater face razor burn mouth breather.

>>69284272
>meme50s

Dont listen to him.

the 598s are better in every way

>closed

if you are going to buy shitty closed headphones might as well buy beats or pussy repellent M50x.

look at this pleb

>>69285258
>closed
Those are semi-closed

>>69283492
I mean they're great headphones but they leak like crazy. I have the same pair and sometimes use them as speakers.
Best pair of headphones I've ever owned tho.

>>69285178
Closed cans are for swine.
>>69285258
Those aren't even fully closed pleb idiot.

>spending money on things you don't understand

Sennheiser are selling their HD 700s for £320, does that seem like a good deal?

there's nothing wrong with meme50s

>>69285367
Like 50%of their sales are to faggots from 4chan.

>>69285367
the m40s are better and about 3/5ths the price

What amp and/or dac should I get for my 598s?
