Old headset died on me so looking for a new gaming headset with a mic attatched. I'm a technical noob so advice is always welcome
Would like to be full closed headset that's comfortable for long hours of gaming and is durable.
Ideally looking for the sound to be surround sound due to playing competitive games.
USB or cord is fine, much love Jow Forums

Read the wiki Superlux 668b (not their best, but good sound stage) get a separate mic, don't be a retard and buy a gaming headset you stupid nigger If you absolutely need a closed set, which is always worse for gaming, get the pro82s and a mic
Jayden Gutierrez
of course I did.

is the hd650 treble shit? is it the cause of the veil? hd600 looks like it has a better FR
Luke Allen
>is the hd650 treble shit? Yes. >is it the cause of the veil? Partially. The other factor is the midbass hump, which is significantly more pronounced compared to the hd600. >hd600 looks like it has a better FR Because it does have a better FR. It's not random that most reviewers that compared HD600 with HD650 do prefer the former.
Lincoln James
who cares? it's just a headphone to keep you preoccupied until you get STAX
Blake Myers
any mods that could fix the hd650?
Luke Evans
you can EQ out the hump, they will sound like 600s, sort of
Luke Evans
nice. i've heard the coin mod helps with allowing more treble detail. guess i'll give it a try sometime.
Aiden Smith
If you apply this eq to HD650 then they will sound better than every other headphone without such eq
Can Etymotic's foam tips stay in five hours without getting too sweaty?
Carter Flores
>foam tips just don't.

A message to 'stax'frog
You messed up. The HE-500 are wannabe Stax. If you wanted true transparency you should've got STAX, if you wanted planar bass you shouldve got Audeze, instead you will get none. Chinkboi
there's no difference between dynamic bass and planar bass
Brody Ross
>planar got no bass
Dominic Russell
all bass sucks, humans aren't meant to hear 100hz and below.
Henry Young
Guys I wanna make my own. Headphones, should I make clipon Planar earclips that don't suck???(I'm looking at your gross hybrid iem's Audeze and monoprice)
The Fiio E10k is the only headphone amplifier you need for the vast majority of so called "hard to drive" headphones. Change my mind (with scientific evidence).
I'm a smoker myself, having company instead of opposition is always nice.

think about buying Superlux HD681 , does anyone have experience with them? how is the sounds quality and how comfy are they for long periods of wear? id be plugging them into pc, listening mostly to metal also what is the difference between Superlux HD681 and Superlux HD681B ?
What's a decent Bluetooth headphone for watching movies(chinese cartoons)? I need to minimize cables because of the TV position people can trip with them
Ian Morgan
Everytime I see this image I notice something new about it
None. Bluetooth has a 100ms (minimum) lag. It's super annoying to watch videos with that lag.
Charles Morgan
Is there a difference between sounding "realistic and lifelike" and sounding "transparent"?
Asking because conflicting statements
Carson Collins
>100ms dafuq how is that possible, my internet ping connection to mexico is 50ms
Samuel Cruz
I dunno what that user is talking about because I use a Bluetooth speaker to watch stuff in bed on my laptop and I've never noticed any delay. Maybe that user has only used dogshit stuff.
Brody Jones
What's slow/sloppy bass? it is something with THD?
How's the HD 4.40 BT compared to the HD 559? canpicker lists them at the same price but I can find the 4.40 for much cheaper here. I can't find any direct comparisons between the two, and I don't care about the extra stuff like bluetooth and media buttons.
Nathan Rivera
Shit, user, go hit any wireless headphones reviewer with delay measurement, 100ms is the bare minimum with bluetooth. You having shit perception doesn't change facts.
Grayson Reyes
Get HD579 instead, if you can.
Jayden Morgan
HD579 is the better budget sennheiser. Careful: It is better than HD598/599.
Benjamin Jones
>It is better than 599. and now you will try to explaing why
Julian Howard
Virtually-identical FR, typically cheaper than HD599, prettier (debatable) and doesn't suffer from "everything is distorted when bass hits hard" flaw many reviewers identified on HD599.
Jaxon Cruz
bluetooth as a product is fucking atrocious, its an abomination that its become standard, it should have been put down in the 90s. the quality loss is fucking hilarious too.
Elijah Ross
>doesn't suffer from "everything is distorted when bass hits hard" flaw many reviewers identified on HD599. lol
Lucas Wood
I wouldn't recommend buying a fatally flawed headphone like that.
Logan Young
I have these. Tell me whether or not I'm enjoying them, /hpg/
Robert White
go watch some zeos kiddo
Julian Roberts
yes.
John Bennett
You aren't, because you're aware they're no HD600 and that you should stop being a cheapass and buy these already.
Brandon Morgan
Wait, but can't you just compensate with the built in audio delay of the video player? Media player classic has this so you can forward the audio a little. So just set negative 100ms delay, then the 100ms delay of the headphone should cancel it, unless it's not constant.
Evan Cook
Indeed, for videos it is fine. Unless you watch one on youtube, where you don't get such a setting. And then you go and try to play some videogame... BT is not worth it. It's not. Dropping the cable isn't currently worth it. Face it. Just order HD600; Don't waste your money on BT shit.
Julian Wood
>coin mod Don't do that, only thing you need is this EQ and the HD650's FR will be objectively superior to the HD600
Jack Nelson
>needs EQ >"superior"
Oliver Garcia
the thing with bluetooth is you dont even drop the cable, you still have to charge that shit and its another thing to remember or else suddenly you cant use your headphones when you want if you forgot. it's yet another device to manage instead of something that disappears when you aren't using it.
so you have higher price, worse quality, more delay, more trouble, worse compatibility, worse sound, need to charge, heavier, and fewer choices
the single advantage is not having the headphone cable. which is something I've literally never struggled with. my advice would be if somebody struggles to deal with a headphone cable just go ahead and kill yourself, the world is gonna be too hard for somebody like that
Chase Howard
Any headphone will benefit from EQ
Samuel Walker
Christ, I didn't even think about that. BT headphones truly are a gimmick.
Tyler Morris
"Transparent" is closest to what record is. "Realistic" is closest to what you would've actually experienced while listening to the reference of that music (which is most of the time impossible).
Colton Ortiz
you forgot the slowly declining battery life that means you have to replace them after 2 years
it still boggles my mind that they just plug it into the wall socket lol, I would expect some kind of $4000 transformer that "cleans" the power signal or something and that plugs into like 4 different sockets
Sebastian Martinez
How come you guys never talk about 5.1 or 7.1 headphones, are they a meme?
Nolan Martin
no shitphones
Justin Fisher
Yes, one of the largest memes in fact. Don't even visit webpages that sell them.
Camden Lopez
>Shoving 5 speakers or 7 speakers plus a sub into tiny headphones
James Gomez
Where's the guy with the STAX setup on milk crates? He is truly enlightened. Not everyone is blessed with the knowledge of the things in life that matter.
Nolan Wright
He 500 is hands down superior to every audeze model and has a better fr than every stax. You're delusional
Alexander Williams
lol
Colton Brown
yes, they are garbage
Ethan Martinez
>He 500 is hands down superior to every audeze model that's true, especially when you factor in price/performance >better fr than every stax nah not really
Samuel Ross
>chifimans >ever
dumbfrog poster went from shilling stax everyday to shilling chifimans in a heart beat
Dominic Bennett
Distortion cannons. Actually worse soundstage and placement of sounds than even the cheapest open headphones you'll see recommended around here.
