My Corsair Vengeance Headset died after a couple years of heavy gaming use. Can anyone recommend a good headset with a built in mic? I'm not going to do the whole hybrid thing, because it doesn't work, and you have to buy shit from china

Also I think the only headset that is accepted around here is the hyperx clouds, still getting a decent set of headphones and a separate mic is always better. Also check pastebin in op and fill out form if you actually want help.

Realtalk, buy better headphones and learn to use neutron player's parametric EQ. A DAC/amp isn't necessary in your situation.
Bentley Walker
stop giving your hard earned shekels to the dac/amp kikes and buy better IEMs/headphones/EQ

So the lesson here is the AK doesn't like swapping cards at all guess I'm gonna just have to settle with 400 gb SD card and the 256 internal
At this point I'm ready to throw the fucking thing in the trash, how the fuck does it take hours to sync 400gb but only seconds to undo it.
Andrew Sanders

windows was showing duplcates of every song and
then refused to even see the SD card so I had to run the first aid on mac.
I guess constantly trying to read 400gb worth of music and update the library is just to much.
Noah Lopez
So a dac won't improve much considering the phone and headphones I'm talking about. I won't spend more on headphones, I was just wondering if some cheap dac would make a difference.
Now I'm curious. At what moment would a dac for the phone or a dap be necessary? Or you wouldn't think of it as long as you're using headphones that don't require an amp?
Jordan Jackson
stop using windows as well
Lucas Martinez
>I spent over $20 on my headphones
Hudson Baker
I think you should just give up on using technology and join a luddite colony, clearly the modern world is not for you.
If your headphones don't get loud enough, you need an amp. If there's buzzing or pops from your source, you need a DAC. If you want peace of mind, you can get a combo even if you don't have the above two issues.
Jeremiah Morgan
Excellent. I don't have any of those problems and no complaints at all really. I was worried the smartphone internal dac was actually decreasing the headphones sound quality by a considerable amount without me even knowing.
Evan Smith
in what regard, how could I hvae known that trying to interchange 800gb worth of music was a bad idea.
In hindsight I didn't think it over...

400gb of music is a lot, your AK has probably less than 10 hours battery life. Think back when you had one discman with a mp3cdr? Or even less?? What about 120mn cassettes? I use 32gb on my screenless dap desu

I know it's not headphones, but any lads know of a good, LOUD, bluetooth radio? I work in a factory with exhaust fans 20 feet above my head and a fan pointed at me, the guy next to me, and the guy next to him while the leak tester hisses and the welder makes chomping metal and plastic suctiony sounds.
It technically needs to be an FM radio too because they don't want us using god damn Milwaukee radios because assholes check their phones inside of them, even though the Milwaukee radio is literally what I want... and have.
I wish they would just say how loud it plays. The factory is like 88 decibels, so I need 110 at least to hear it 10 feet away. Not only that but even a little louder so I can turn down the loud songs I play and turn up the quieter ones.
I tried the shitty Axess speakers. The old version worked great, then it died, the new one is quieter, and also almost died when it fell off the table. And I just bought the Pyle PBMSPG50 Street Vibe. The radio is loud enough but somehow the bluetooth is quiet, weirdly the aux and plugging in my MP3 is louder.
tl;dr I need a LOUD bluetooth speaker that's also an FM radio.
Isaac Hill
What Bottle head crack is worth it?
Asher Thomas
Report your workplace to OSHA
Jack Stewart
88 Might have been wrong.
It is loud though, it's a factory. I forget what the general sustained decibel level of an industrial workplace is. It might have been 70. And after reading how decibels work and that the next 10 decibels is twice as loud as the one before I think I should throw out the whole decibel count thing.
All I know is my last 2 radios aren't loud enough. I can wear earplugs too. They help a lot since they cancel out the white noise better than other noises like people talking, or music. I can really hear better with them in but the downside is not really knowing how loud you're talking since your own voice is also a lot louder to yourself with them in. Not that you asked, but there ya go.

Why are there so few audiophile headphones with ear cups that don't have shitty pleather on the padding?

Are there any workout boys? I need some Bluetooth earbuds that are actually good, but not terribly expensive. Pls give advice, I don't wanna have to go to fit
Charles Gonzalez
Old headphone: HD558
New headphone: DT990 pro
Definitely a step up, such clarity!, I had my doubts because they weren't very neutral, but I am in fucking love with them, holy hell, they're tempting me to go beyond, but it will have to wait until I upgrade my computer.
In any case, what's the next logical upgrade from DT990? Is there even a noticeable step up anymore?
Brody Howard
germanfag here looking for some headphones for electro/retrowave music and podcasts. They should be closed so I can go about my business
heres the template filled out:
>Budget
50€ max
>Location
Germany, got no probs buying on amazon
>Source
Smartphone, HTC One
>Type of headphone
Should fit over both ears, I used in-ear for years now and want a change.
>Open or closed
Don't know. I use them on the way to work and while doing loud work, so I guess closed.
>Comfort level
They should not hurt after wearing them for 2+ hours.
>Sound signature
I mostly hear electronic music and podcasts.. What fits best?
>Past headphones
These should be the ones: SoundMAGIC E10 Red

budget raised to 100€ if you can recommend really good ones

what's the meme headphones I see posted alot, they're in ear and are called 'shure' or some shid
also what's a decent upgrade for my soundmagic e10c and what's the deal with the rock zircon meme?
Blake Edwards
shure se215?
Charles Bell
My friend is in need of some bluetooth headphones for two days time. We're abroad so our options aren't fantastic. We've seen a pair of AKG Y50 Pink for 695 RMB. I know the price is going to be bad and bluetooth, but are they reasonable considering the circumstances?
Jordan Gray
>shure se215

Why are these so popular outside of looking cool? I'm about to do my own research but i'd like a brief gestalt 'please'
Juan Bailey
popular because of memes
the mee m6 pro is better and cheaper
Ian Miller
>been using BA IEMs for 4 years

Wow, I forgot they were THIS shitty. So much for "flat frequency response".
Jaxson Jenkins

Joseph Flores
yeee or nah?
Jaxson Sanchez
>mee m6 pro
hmm not better according to what hi-fi
hell of a lot cheaper though
any reccs as to what I can replace my soundmagic e10c with? I feel as if I want a bit more clarity and bass
>inb4 clarity AND bass
Juan Gomez
Alright it turned out they weren't Bluetooth and the Bluetooth ones were 1129RMB and WhatHiFi siad they were the best under £200 wireless ones of 2015

Can't find the Klipsch DAC/Amp -anywhere- anymore. Also it seems highly likely that the thing is "just" a Fostex HP-A4BL in a new box. Very similar size and layout, basically the same functions. The headphones are probably something rebadged as well.

So I am looking for a direct upgrade to Oculus Rift headphones, does this exist for under 120 dollars? Open back are the only real choice, for accurate audio in VR and I do listen to music, prefer neutral sound for the this is what I made it for audio experience.
Jack Williams
I don't think he has the time to roast hundreds of headphones when he is busy trying to find pairs he likes.
Colton Davis
oh just saw the "available to backorder" notice, whoops
David Bell
Actually the Klipsch DAC/Amp might actually be worse than the Fostex HP-A4BL. It's got the Fostex's balanced XLR out, but weirdly the power in on the back is just a 5V like on the unbalanced Fostex HP-A4, not 12V like the on HP-A4BL, suggesting that the balanced output which on the HP-A4BL is much stronger than the unbalanced output, will be weaker on the Klipsch.
And honestly, the Fostex looks nearly as classy as the Klipsch, maybe even more so because it's less kitschy. Only downside is I've heard that the rear line out is unbalanced in case you wanna use it as a DAC for a balanced tube amp, but at $450 you're hard strapped for balanced DAC/Amps to begin with so it's just a minor complaint.
