I want a really cheap headset I can use when I play video-games in my room.

Ok I never post in these thread since I've been comfy with my gaymr headset but what the fuck is with that guy's arm.
It seems like it's going to be a leg but it has a hand, is it just super long? is the chick just super short? Neither of those make sense when the couch they're on seems pretty normally sized for the chick.

OH FUCK OFF IT'S *THAT* KIND OF PICTURE
Nice almost facesitting though

I just broke my ATH-M50's. I got them about 6 years ago for $115. Now amazon wants $150 bucks for them, so I'm thinking about trying something different. Mostly used for gaming. Any recommendations under $150? Why are headphone prices going up, about half of them in the Wiki are 50 bucks more than the Wiki says they are....

Why do you want to look like my wife?

After wearing headphones for longer than 2 hours or so I just get pain on my ears from the headphones themselves pressing against different parts of my ear. Is there a certain style of headphones I should be looking for? I have to just use earbuds if I want to listen for an extended time. Headphones Ive tried on are Bose QuietComfort 25, Sennheiser HD 449, CORSAIR VOID PRO.

Stax

tl;dr

buy stax see

Because I want you to look like your wife's wife.

I want to get started on the audiophile meme, any good headphones for less than $500?

SMSL SU8 balanced DAC with remote at $200

I have a stupid question. I know the guide was made a few years ago, and I understand the parts about headsets and why they are shit. However, that was a few years ago, and that part doesn't loom updated. So I'm asking, has there been any improvements in quality? Not expecting great things, just better that sucking. Not looking to buy one myself, but I was looking for new headphones after a few years, and I got curious.

Thats not about what I asked at all.

>ask for headphones
>everyone here is a shut in neet so they only recommend open cans or shitty little transparent earbuds
>find some $180 wireless sony headphones for like $40

also also has anyone actually been smart enough to take apart their headphones and fix whats broke or do you fags just keep buying pairs hoping they dont break? the stupid little spring on the input jack of my atm50s ended up cutting on of the wires. was wondering if i need to buy another jack and rewire it or is there an easier way. i doubt they fixed this shit in the new generations sure detachable cords now sounds like a jewish trick to me.

>hoping they dont break?
they don't break. I have 12year old headphones in pristine condition, I used them 12h a day for 6 years.

is there anything like sennheiser hd 280s out there

i love them and have had them for like 5 years but my fucking rabbit just chewed the cord on them while i wasnt looking and now i need to get new ones

just bought these, never tried open back headphones before

i hope i dont regret it

Could have got Senns instead for that price

got my hd681, also waiting for better pad to come.
bring the mid slightly up and fix treble with equalizerapo.
it's tasteful.

Lol what a shit guide.

Egg.

what ones

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

owo nice umi.

I'm hoping I don't get shoo'd off for this request but.

I'm looking for bluetooth headphones for the gym. My Samsung LevelU's band broke after who the fuck knows why and after 3 years(and I got them for 35€ instead of 99€ so it was a great deal).

Any requests? Was looking at Jaybird X3, but was wondering if there's anything for around 50€ that would be better. I just need some sound isolation so I don't hear the russians at the gym roaring

Attached: 1520601381185.png (540x540, 271K)

HD 579 is $108 on Amazon

They're only really good when they drop on sale to 50 bucks.

This is a really lowest common denominator pose to want to be in. If this happens to a protag in anything, it means they're not doing well for themselves.

they would cost me 150 cad and i dont want to support amazon or give jeff bezos any more money

Well shit. I'd try holding out a little longer at least. The SHP9500s should hopefully drop sometime soon. I was actually going to buy it but I was impatient.

KZ ZS10 or Tin Audio T2 for about 35€?

This is the patrician pose

staxfroganon sold his dad's medication and ps4 and still doesn't have stax

what a time to be alive

Best standalone DAC for sub 100? I got the FX DAC X6 and planning to use that as my amp instead since the DAC in it isn't that good.

Would be nice to have an IEM edition

buypig with the 1990's still doesn't have stax.

umi a best. A best!!
(Sounds great on HD600)

>weird 1990 discovery - detail doesn't get worse with lower volume like with sennheisers
It doesn't. But your ears FR is such that if you lower the volume on different headphones, different detail gets recessed or otherwise put in front. 1990s have that beyer treble peak, which is likely what you're perceiving as detail.

fix them you fucking idiot

should i? fatboy zeos said its good

Attached: asdasd.png (1325x770, 386K)

yeah it does, lower fq on 600s die out at lower volume

A cancelled order doesn't prove anything.
