/hpg/ - Headphones General

Damn on point with the burns.

Thanks. It's simply the truth.

Based

>all that schiit gear
so it's you whose been shilling your poor decisions to make up for buyers remorse

re: Gear that can be seen in there.
I recommend: HD600, Magni2u (and Magni3 ofc), Fulla2 (vs the likes of e10k).
I do not recommend: The Modis, HD598, HD380 Pro.

Yikes

absolute garbage, not even a meme. hd600 is fine though. but yea. absolute trash

How do I clean my headphones?

I also recommend watching Love Live and BanG Dream!
Random: Seen pic related tonight. That was fun. Going to sleep. Good night.

soak them in alcohol overnight

At least you have good taste in idolshit.

That sounds like it would damage the leather and the electronics.

Is 99% isopropanol too strong?

no thats fine, it will evaporate after you remove it and leave everything cleaned

Damp rag? If you mean velour pads you might be able to clean it some what with a wet rag but you could soak them and wring them out.

water will destroy the electronics, absolutely do not do this

Just checking in after spending almost $2k to confirm that worth of your headphones is not correlated to your desire to live.

what kind of headphone are you spending on user?
I've been using cheap sennheiser hd201 past few years and it still comfy

I got 1 liter of that thing. I was hoping it would clean up used cans of MA900's where the right driver is dirty.

Velour ear pads are, to the best of my knowledge, not electronic devices.

Should have got HD600 as user suggested.

ok just to be clear I have no idea if that would work and it might destroy your headphones, don't soak it in alcohol

How come?

HD600 users tend to be quite happy.

Are you one?

It probably will. I'm just not going to leave it overnight and I'm going to mix it with water first.

Noticed him shilling late 2016.

Of course not. Why would it?

water is usually worse for things than alcohol

I'll see if I can open them and wipe with pure iso.

Well I was talking about the pads and the frame but. sure. Don't put water on your headphones while they a plugged in.

i was looking at sennheiser HD600s or something in that line but they aren't showing on the canpicker

HD 600s aren't $300 CAD though

sorry meant the 579

He has, it's fine.

I'm about to order this headphone DAC amp:

amazon.ca/DEAFidelity-DSD-2-Converter-Headphone-Amplifier/dp/B073B8J21F

How retarded am I?

My headphones are Ultrasone Pros; I forget the exact mode. I paid about 400 syrupdollars for them like 6 years ago. I'd be using this setup with my PC.

Anyone else here buy a headphone DAC/amp? What would you have done differently? Thanks

>ultrasone
It's not going to make the sound worse, that's for sure.

he literally says he can't recommend it and it didn't perform well at all, just that it was priced well and isn't as bad as the other schiit amp

Reposting this from last thread:

Under $100. Around $50 would be ideal.

Open. I need to be able to hear external sounds.
>Comfort level
I'd rather have more comfort than better sound.
>Sound signature
I like neutral.
>Past headphones
I'm currently using closed-back NVX XPT-100s and love them, but they block out all audio and that's a problem when I'm streaming on Twitch and trying to talk.

>Until I test more devices against it, I don't have a recommendation to offer for it.
He withholds judgement. My opinion is that it's fine.

>I recommend bang dream

Dreadful taste confirmed

How about this photo? Should take that Emmy and slap some Schiit amp with it.

>t. I love unbalanced garbage

I don't like ultrasones.

>My headphones are Ultrasone Pros
oh my god im so sorry user

They sound great to me and I've had zero regrets. Can we talk about headphone DAC/amps instead of starting some /v/-tier fanbase war?

this general has some of the stupidest arguments, but what do you expect from a bunch of audiophiles I guess, a hobby more than any other thats made fun of for being filled with stupid people making bad purchases

see you tomorrow faggot

I purchased the lambskin dekonis, you better not be memeing maki

hey folks, looking for small cheapo earbuds to wear while I'm walking my cute dogger twice a day. Pic kinda related, my previous dog was just like it and I loved it.
so far it's
Samsung S7 OEMs amazon.com/Samsung-Wired-Headset-Galaxy-Packaging/dp/B01CO60NAO/
vs
Some Panasonic earbuds

I know sub-$50 goes into /csg/ but those guys weren't really helpful

I'm the guy that was looking for IEMs last thread. The Massdrop Plus does seem pretty nice but I'm a bit worried about the bass. Is the bass really strong? I'm a massive basslet who can't tolerate overly-bassy iems.
Would also like to how long does Massdrop usually take to ship

Grow a thicker skin, Canucklehead.

You're begging for the er4sr. Just get it.

I didn't post that. Though, I do agree with him.

I will have it soon.

ATH-MSR7

Closed and p neutral. Easy to drive without an amp. Don't even bother with HD600s without an amp.

ATH-AD500x
These are slightly bright but not sibilant. Match all your other requirements perfectly.

This. HD600 are know to cure depression. They migh- You know what I am just going to say it! THEY are the best headphones you can get period!

have you considered installing staxtoo?

but HD600s are boring

Alright here's my follow-up:

Being the stingy piece of shit that I am, I ended up ordering the following:

aliexpress.com/item/FEIXIANG-FX-AUDIO-DAC-X3-Fiber-Coaxial-USB-Decoder-24BIT-192Khz-USB-DAC-Headphone-192khz-Decoder/32404220929.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.UzPANm

The CM108 chip should perform well enough for my needs. Also, from the reviews I read the other amp I was considering commonly had compatibility problems which is something I'd prefer not to fuck around with.

Errr... Those would be the HD 650s, which are driver matched and hand picked to perfection!

So my hd 569 arrives in a few days. Is it worth buying a portable music player or should I just keep listening on my moto e4 plus?

And and picked by the silkiest of hands!

All the workers must be black because they sound like dark shit.

Black HD 650s? Ancient!
Hard working blacks? Mythical!
These were made by the sweat and tears of pure aryans, unlike the likely chink-tier older brother HD 600

Thanks. ATH-AD500x looks like exactly what I need!

to the user who recc'd the a990z a few weeks ago, thanks
these headphones are really nice and comfy and don't squish my mammoth sized head

ATH-A550Z

Which hp are the best for listening to CDs? I want to hear the retro lowbit fidelity.

Is Stax endgame?

Yes

Tried to play my gf's baby a song in the stomach on HD600's and she had a miscarriage 15 minutes later.

What was the song?

DMX - Where the hood at

Heh. Fake. HD600 are designed to snap when stretched over a pregnant woman's belly.

What the fuck is up with Canadian prices? Can't you just order from the US?

We pay import taxes and sales taxes on loads of shit

plz annex

>We pay import taxes
So what's the point of NAFTA? And wouldn't it still be cheaper to import US$199 headphones from the USA than to pay 394 Canadian for them at home?
