>Sound signature
Warm, NOT bright (I'm treble sensitive). Moderate amount of bass.
>Past headphones
Current IEMs are Sony MDREX15LP (as far as I can tell from pictures), the sound quality is quite good despite the price. Super comfy, would like something with similar comfort.
For full headphones, I like the sound signature on the HD569 and M&D MH40.
Too much treble on the Takstar Pro 82, MSR7, M50x, too much bass on the Crossfade M-100
Tried the ER4-XR pro IEMs, the seal may not have been good but they sounded like they had no bass.

Daily reminder that anime is only allowed in connection with headphones per mods.

I really like the advanced sound Model 3 if you want a wireless one. Check it out.

This.

everyone start shooping HD 600s on feet anime girls

Why HD 600s?

I would say its good. Here is a guide for easy to find tubes since the stock are meh.

Idol trash here. What's your setup like, user?
Nice. Hoping for feet on the next.

its fine but tube amps are a meme & snake oil

>solid state
older music was produced with the intention of being played back on tubes because that's what everyone used, so...
>SS
enjoy innacurate shitty sound

>being this deeply deluded
yea I'll stick with the better sound

are m40x's comfy? do they clamp your head tightly?

That was quick, you already dropped the accurate argument. Define better, do you mean different?

If you are ever unfortunate enough to own these headphones and have them snap, the 3D file you can find online for a replacement gimbal works.

nah it's ok, if you like worse things and they're good enough for you then I won't spoil your fun

They are the best headphones.
Don't you think so Idol Smell?

But those would be the HD 650s, which are also driver matched

I like SS + EQ better. Non-argument.

>Nice. Hoping for feet on the next.
Agreed

they color the sound
why not just get colored headphones and neutral dac/amps

why not own both unless you are poor?

I heard it told, only poor people buy expensive things

Poor people also buy poor things

Why you need a tube amp on your desk

I'm a canadian who moved to west coast america for a very well paying tech job. I was born a millionaire from inheritance. I'm not poor in any way. I know how to not waste money on stupid shit though because my parents taught me how to be responsible with cash. if you waste your money that's fine, it helps the economy and keeps prices on things like housing cheaper for me. but it's dumb as fuck.

did they also tell you not to waste your time calling other people buypigs on a consumerist general on an anime website?

I don't know too much about headphones but I'm looking for a pair that I can uses for both gaming and general listening in public
I want them to look nice so I don't mind spending more shekels on them

is there a reason not to buy from taobao? it's 40% cheaper than anywhere else for several things I'm looking at

idk, but just don't come bitching to /hpg/ if or when you get scammed out of your money by the chinese

No, but if you only care about looks and don't give a shit about actual sound quality, do what you want.

Dog destroyed my HyperX Cloud's while I was at work today. What is the best headset to replace it with as of now?

Should I just get the same exact pair or are any of the new Cloud's worth looking at instead? I've got about 250 to spend on a pair.

Whatever I get needs to be comfortable for long periods of time. Microphone not necessary, I don't mind getting a desk mic if need be.

Topping NX4DSD > Massdrop Plus

Harman Kardon Logic 7

Laptop/Phone > FLC8s

I'm needing to complete the Trio, but I'm unsure if I should get the HD580 the HD600 or HD650.
I have a K400/701 as well as a DT880 from 1980.
What do y'all think?

where can i find that in europe for a price that doesnt make me want to kill myself?

I’d keep an eye out for them offering the non-carbon fiber/leather version.

Thats the whole point of tube, it sounds different

All you need is HD600

Sure, go ahead.

Okay, well I just have this, I use m50x with it.

Neat. Which is your favorite sloth of the three circuits?

Probably the medium or the slowest one. My dream is to build a NLC only rack someday for ultimate random glitch bleeps

Yeah, I wish I was set up for diy surface mount, I’ve managed a couple Meng Qi builds with only surface mount resistors and it was do-able but a pain in the ass. Have his Flipflop chaos module and some other I can’t recall right now, fun chaotic triggers and gates.

In dire need of good wireless headphone for sport scenario. IEMs could work too but it's a last resort. So feel free to recommend something on both categories please.

Something less than $120 but would consider $200 if it's good quality sound and comfort.
