Pioneer Monitor 10 IIs

The truth is, not even $1000 headphones - more than everyone in this thread makes in a year - come close to my speakers that cost a fraction of the price.

Oh and my speakers don't require a $100 accessory from a snake oil industry (Dac/amp) just to sound "good" either

Beyerdynamic 770 80 ohms and Beyerdynamic 880 250 ohms. With a Fiio preamp.

Ok /mu/ blue pill me on headphones. Are the Ath Meme 50x really the best overall sounding headphones for the under $200 range? Is there a pair to save up for and get instead?

What would be a very noticeable worthwhile upgrade?

>>69591883
No

Open back headphones sound better 99% of the time. Tbe oy reason youd get closed back is for work or the bus or whatever.

Just get sennheiser momentum if u want closed

>>69591895
Get some planar hifimans with an amp u poor cuck

>>69591727
The truth is exactly opposite to what you're saying. A $5k headphone setup is going to perform similarly to a $15k+ speaker setup. Oh, and your speakers use a dac and amp too, it's just a different kind of amp. You're retarded.

>>69591883

I'll probably be using these until I die.

>>69591955
Right. That's why headphones drop like a rock at 10KHz

Give me a break. All the music you listen to? You know what it's mixed and mastered on? Not headphones that's for sure

Also why'd you have to raise the minimum price of headphones to $5K? :) we all know it's because you can spend a couple hundred and get God tier speakers but you got to spend thousands to get even close to that. And it's still not close

>>69591727
...you need an amp/dac for a good speaker setup too.

Good speakers are just as expensive if not more so than good headphones.

>>69591981
I'm thinking about selling my M50x just to get these. Those look so damn comfy, and I don't use my M50x as much as I thought I would mainly because of how uncomfortable they are. I even tried replacing the stock pads with velour ones.

>>69592042
Nah plenty of good speakers come with one built in

Even many low ohm headphones still need an amp to sound their best. Like seriously what is up with that? Tiny $150+ things shouldn't need that

>>69591921
What do you suggest for open back headphones?

Right but maybe at the same levels more of the sound reaches your ears in closed back, or in open back you have to turn it up louder?

Very nice OP.

I've got Fidelio X2s. Had them for coming up to two years now and haven't had the desire to upgrade so I think I've reached my peak headphone level. I've previously had ATH M50s, AKG K240s and Grado SR80is, none of them compare.

Headphone related sort of.
One of my speakers is significantly quieter than the other. Would this be down to the speaker itself or would the amplifier have an option to boost it?

>>69591981
same. really see no reason to change.

Sennheiser HD 518

Audeze LCD-2
HiFiMan HE-400i

$1000 amp and $1000 DAC too. There probably isn't much difference between a $1000 DAC and a $100 one but I figured I might as well since I spent so much on everything else. (Maybe just placebo but I do notice a difference with the expensive DAC vs. cheaper ones. Not sure if it's necessarily "better, but it is different.)

I don't wanna look like an autist in public and I can't afford two pairs.

I am getting new ones soon, any recs for a pair that doesn't make me look enlighted in public and has better audio?

>>69598093
It's not that there aren't differences, it's that the differences get smaller and smaller with the more you spend.

>>69598204
>I don't wanna look like an autist in public and I can't afford two pairs.
Get decent IEMs for public places. You can't hear people around you, they can't hear your music, and it doesn't even look like you're wearing anything.

Some good ones at https://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research/b/ref=bl_dp_s_web_2529393011?ie=UTF8&node=2529393011&field-lbr_brands_browse-bin=Etymotic+Research

For home, get speakers + room treatment. Or if you can't due to neighbors and shitty walls, get good over-ear headphones regardless of how they look.

>>69598235
Yeah I'm aware. I skipped the mid-tier stuff and went straight to max, and I feel it was worth it. I just maxed out and plan on using this amp and DAC for as long as they keep working/I stay alive.

I love them, they sound fantastic for the price. I moved from the M50x to these and the difference was definitely worth it.

I don't know how much better the 598's are but these were so cheap I couldn't say no and I'm glad I got them.

Fuck what people think about you in public. If they have a negative opinion about someone that wears headphones outside then those people are fucking worthless.

Seriously, who gives a damn about something as trivial as this? How little must one have going in their lives to even have an opinion on something as benign about this?

Do whatever you want to do, but don't go spending money just for the approval of someone else.

>>69590079
$20 Superlux.

I currently have a pair of Sony MDR-ZX 770BN over-ear headphones. The audio is great, the wire can be detached and the headphones can be used wireless and they have active noise cancelling. All round they are very good and the price is reasonable as well (at least where I bought them from).

I like them even if they are a bit tinny at times but the best is their neutral sound.

I got the AT M50s in 2012, what are the equivalent go-to headphones in 2016/2017?

>>69601832
Awesome, got the 325is here. One thing that pisses me off about Grado is that they use the exact same shitty headband in all of their products. I get that they're purists about their sound and that's cool and all, but not being able to upgrade from that terrible squeaky uncomfortable thing is really annoying. That and the colossal cables.

I just use these. They fit right when I would go to the skatepark, I didn't get blackheads in my ears like earbuds do, they're cheap and always in stock at stores, what's not to love? $20 for some entry level quality sound.

If I'm alone and sound leakage is ok, I use Grado SR60e.

If I don't want to disturb anyone, I use Etymotic hf5.

Also feel the need to say that etymotic has by far the best customer service of any business I've ever dealt with. They've replaced my earphones for free even when out of warranty and are ridiculously polite and helpful.
