what is the difference?

gonna buypig both aeon flow open and closed

Wait until they go on sale again. The claim has been constantly that they're trying to empty the stock. Maybe the stock is finally empty?

Canpicker is still there. Why do you continue to enable that parasite?

how the fuck did that cans went from $65 to $140 in the last 2 years?

She's shaped like a midget it's disgusting.

the manufacturer went bankrupt, price will go up until philips finds a new one

Was Gibson handling all of their headphones?

if you don't like it then make the next thread and remove it

aren't shps popular? did they make them at a loss?

I think open headphones are a meme.

Recently got an o2+odac rev b. To go with my hd600. Does anyone find the volume too low? I use the gain most of the time. I just might not be used to how neutral it is

Warm/dark sound signature, good detail retrieval, highly transparent

Soundstage and imaging would also be nice but not as important

Budget is infinite, but would prefer to stay within reasonable value if possible.

Go, also no stax.

Stax desu

Stax is neutral, so no. I would get it otherwise.

Idol trash here. What's your setup like, user?

Any pair of headphones w/ EqualizerAPO is your answer.

stax & tube amp

They look uncomfy but I don't want to talk you into canceling them, quite frankly I don't care if you choose to spend €1000 on a pair of headphones.

hifiman Sundara is darkish neutral, but it is also chifiman, so use your own judgement
ZMF if you are into that

Aeon Flow Open.

Yo Idol trash I'm going to watch some anime tonight.

Maybe I'll report back to you.

is tehre a single comprehensive guide for idiots how to properly EQ?

What setup are you going to use for that purpose, user?

>Stax is neutral

HD600 are more neutral than any current production STAX.

>L300, L500, L700 bright
>SR-009 bright
>SR-007 dark

I found that anime voices sound amazing with 1990. It got soundstage issues in anime though, or maybe i'm too used to 600s sound.

The uber-dutch setup:

HD669: €30
EqualizerAPO: Free
Chink DAC(this thing is holy for its price): $8
Marantz PM40: Free

Total cost about €40.

Why not mug some gullible-looking kids and order HD600 proper?
I swear, START;DASH is divine on these.

Changed to Redmi Note 5 after having Redmi 3s before and all if fine, except on every Music app the volume through earphones is a lot lower.
Anyone know wtf that's about?

yo whats ur favorite idol anime.

I have money enough to buy HD600s.
However, if I were to buy those I would not be a true Dutchman anymore.

START:DASH sounds very good on this setup, sadly, I can't borrow yours to test how it sounds on the HD600s. Quite eager to know.

finding how to install software is the easiest thing to do on the internet.
tell me how to use equalizer and not fuck it up.

Idol how's LoveLive!: Sunshine compared to the original

NO SPOILERS ON EITHER PLEASE.

Why does the AFO rarely get any talked here when they are positively kick-ass?

>measure superbly
>fairly neutral, forgiving sound character
>good value for the money
>light and comfortable
>sounds decent out of a fucking smartphone

Can't wait to hear Dan's upcoming cheap electrostatic system. If it's tuned like the AFO it's going to be a winner.

hey, don't bully our mascot.

To say it nicely, it doesn't compare favorably.
For µ's, they got a really powerful team of established seiyuu, many of them with idol experience, as it was the only way they'd tear into the im@s niche. That was very successful.
The seiyuu on aqours are younger and less experienced. More like "promising" rather than already known-good. One voice in particular (yohane's) does tend to outshine the rest.
But it's of course still Love Live and still enjoyable.

What's your setup like, user?


... user?

Brother, I don't watch LoveLive! for the music.

How would you rate the anime? Due to my autism I'll be entranced by their music anyways because it is sung by cute anime girls.

Love Live.

Stop it. What is wrong with you? Get help.

Similar to Love Live. Mostly same staff & decent budget. Enjoyable on HD600.
Post setup.

As soon as you stop spamming.

>spam
Slander.

Idol Trash HATER!

You're just jealous because he has /hpg/ fame and you obviously don't.

The L300 is not bright, do you even know know what bright means?

Rolled off bass does not mean bright, raised treble means bright, the stax L300 actually have recessed treble

Stax has no bass. Dose the HD800 have bass?

Is the Bottlehead crack hard to build?

No.

Horizon

not if you have the right tools

As much as the stax does when you get its seal right

Time to stop.

if you are nearsighted it is very hard
if you got shaky hands it is very hard

It's not very good

is there a sound quality difference between 32 ohms and 250 ohms? is it really noticeable? I wanna get the Beyerdynamic DT 990 but I cant choose between the 32 ohms and 250. I've never touched any headphones above 20 dollars so will my pleb ears even notice a difference?

Does anyone find the o2 amp underpowered? Or is it just different sound switching to a neutral amp?

Only if you use Windows

underpowered for what

Easy as fuck. It's a great project to learn the basics of soldering.

Too expensive for what it's worth. Get an HD6XX or HD650 instead, set up with this EQ: dropbox.com/s/zr5tqw0qojom9uh/Sennheiser HD650.pdf?dl=0
and it will sound stellar, better than HD660S

are yours 15 years old?

4-4.5

what the hell.
