Don't bother buying headphones if you're not willing

If you have a high quality sound card then why bother with the DAC? And who gives a shit let people spend money how they want faggot.

V6>7506 for anything other than recording, the vast majority of commercially-released media is mixed for overly bassy bullshit headphones and will sound way too flat on 7506s.

I'm done with desktops. I don't even game anymore. Next time, I'm downgrading to a small laptop so I can shitpost and watch anime from my bed.

>>38362418
Same housing, supposedly different speakers, with the 7506 being flatter.

Even if they're the same, though, you might as well get the V6s since they're generally cheaper and are externally identical.

I have both the m50s and the Senn hd598cs and find myself listening to the Sennies 95% of the time even though I initially thought the ATs sounded much better at first.

Also for everyone who doesn't want expensive headphones, try these.
They're probably like $30 in America? Maybe less.

I have a pair of Pioneer SE Master 1 headphones with a Pioneer U-05 DAC, all in all it cost me close to 3k... But I hardly ever use it for some reason.

>>38364535
Instead I usually just use my Sony CD900STs plugged into another external soundcard by Roland, all I do listen to YouTube these days and the audio is low-res.

You know, you could get a whole lot more out of your money if you just spend it on nice clothes if you just wanna flex how expensive your shit is. Buying high end audio equipment doesn't make much sense if you aren't into audio engineering. They all sound the same once you reach a certain price. I think it's fair to say that 200 USD is point of diminishing returns.

I also like IEMs way more than headphones since you can wear them anywhere and lay on the bed with them unlike headphones. They're also low profile so you won't look like an autist in public if you use them.

Sennheiser 6XX are $200 USD + $15 shipping on massdrop right now.
300 ohms so you will NEED an amplifier, though.

More like $300. HD600, HD650, X2, and DT880s are standard recommendations

Isn't DT880 inferior to the 77Os though?

Soundcards are the biggest meme. Not to be confused with external audio interfaces (useful if your headphones demand X amount of power.)

how well do they keep from sound spilling ?
might buy a pair

i've only heard of 7506s and i like that they're blue instead of red on the ears

>20$ headset and comfy with it
Thanks I am good, not exactly audiophile and those things break too easily.

>>38368224
The only break if you are a KEKHOLD and buy FIXED CABLE like a NIGGER.
Be a white man and buy detachable cable headphones and you won't have this problem.

Honestly, I just use beats for my phone and a Logitech headset for my computer. Both work wonderfully.

internal sound card or USB DAC?
my hearing is so shit I can barely hear my PC with it's onboard at max volume and my current sound card is broke so I need to replace

Am I the only one who uses speakers?
I've got a sick little subwoofer that I use for gaming and music. I haven't used headphones since 2002 when I used to play cs competitively.

>>38361566
ayee wearin shps rn

>>38364066
My nigga. Love the massive soundstage on my T1.

What is a decent pair that costs about 65-75

>>38368289
External DAC is better, imo. Even further away and more shielded from other electronics. Though I'm sure good soundcards will hardly sound different.

>>38368319
I'm buying a set of 2.1 speakers right now. I miss headphones not being able to produce good deep base like a subwoofer can.
