Greetings HD600 owner! I come bearing good news! You can now upgrade for only $500! You should be very excited as previously it cost about $1000 to upgrade from an HD600.
I am here to share this joyous occasion with you.

Now that the dust has settled. How did I do? Good pads? Should I get thew ZMF protein pads also?

I forgot my 3 year old soundmagic E80s on a bus seat. Do I just buy a new pair or do I get another brand of earbuds?

What non onions based headphones are you using?

Check out the new IEMs from fiio. They range from below $100 to $150. I haven't heard them but they're getting good reviews.
Also GR07 but they're fragile. I own the GR07 and it does sound pretty good for the money but mine broke inside a hard cardboard box inside of my pack back from just walking around.

When I ask you why are you goin' to say you will see again?

My headphones are all onion based. I'm high T as fuck, söyboy.

What closed back IEMs sound the most similar to the Audeze LCD X/3/4? I tried Andromedas, and they're alright but they still pale in comparison to my home setup.
Budget is around 1500$ and I have enough power to drive whatever. Just looking for something that can recreate the standard Audeze sound that isn't their useless open planar IEM design.

Requesting purchase advice, went on canpicker but I'd still rather have anons who know this more than me deciding for myself since I am inexperienced

You can only tell people to buy staxheisers so long before it gets old.

Do you err on the side of dark or bright, /hpg/? Within reason of course.

I err on the side of kitchen top.

user, let's get this straight first.

there are two types of people: those who like a single neutral headphone and those who like a variety. anyone who owns just a dark or just a bright headphone is subhuman and deserves to be gassed

I don't have the X00 anymore (Muke stole it) but they're bassier than you'd expect. Not the good stuff though, mostly midbass. It's getting too hot for sealed over ears so I got myself a new pair.

the kannons gets hot on the cups from the TT so that doesn't help lol. I've actually got them to hit so hard they are moving themselves on my desk and I feel them with my feet as they vibrate the floor.

hd800?

Nice blog nigger

Anyone?

You might look for another forum where the headphone talk isn’t dead

Can't wear HD800s while out and about senpai. Sounds like you're driving your Kannons seriously hard, I don't dare do that with mine after the ringing incident.

>I don't dare do that with mine after the ringing incident.
were you playing them louder than you think you were? I noticed that with the TT up high I have the temptation to raise the dynamic driver to match it.

He’s wearing them backwards right? I can’t have been this retarded for this long.

Yeah, that's what happened. It's really enjoyable so you just want to keep cranking the volume and the bass boost.

is there a lot of difference between genuine ear pads and chink ones you can get on aliexpress?

No as long as they fit right they are good.

Any thoughts on the video?

The pseudo namefags (idolfaggot, floorfaggot) and HD 600 shills scared most of us away.

That will save me a lot on replacements.
