Monolith M1060C...
garbage thread
My chinky setup. Dac only because my laptop is crappy and the jack has problems. HD 558 and topping nx1s
lol weebs btfo
>I really, really wish I could recommend these. They look pretty and the bass is really fun and they’re not unreasonably priced, but they’re so astoundingly unpleasant to listen to that I can’t imagine too many people enjoying these. If the M1060C is someone’s first experience to nicer headphones and don’t really have too much of a baseline to compare these to, the painful, unnatural midrange may not bother them, but I cannot in good faith tell anybody to purchase these without listening to them.
>not taking off the cups, and putting velor pads on them to bring the mids up
lol @ that retard
lol @ not just buying stats
lol @ needing a car battery to use them away from a power outlet
another shit amazon referral scam, and oh wow its next to a planar > electrostatic meme

Enjoy your current limited clipping
>The 1.3k and 1.7k walls are not surprising; they legitimately sound like ringing, not unlike the M1060 had around 4kHz. Except at least that was in an area thatwasn’tpainful and raised. In the M1060C, the ringing happens to be in an area that is already raised, so it’s double the pain.
lol it rings even worse than the m1060

I've only been using IEMs for mobile use so far. I'm currently using the Soundmagic E10, but have grown tired of in-ears.
Sound quality isn't THAT important, i just want comfy, rather small but over-ear, foldable headphones that don't get too warm during summer. Doesn't matter if cable or bluetooth.
I'd take grados over... whatever the fuck this is

Keep up the adhoms, the measurements speak for themselves. I suppose (((Z))) is a more reliable source huh?

Anyone use these? What are some good bluetooth ear buds that work well with activities like running?
What is Jow Forums opinion on QPAD?
This shit looks awful.
Who actually leaves the house like this? All neckband earphones need to be purged.
Normies who have friends and regularly exercise wear those user
Not like you would know that.. lol
Does anyone know a high-quality method of making my audio quieter? My Sennheiser HD6XX, fed from my motherboard's onboard audio, gets too loud at around 4% volume. I have to use volume sliders to lower the volume of fucking everything (youtube, foobar, etc) so I don't go deaf.
I have some resistors and 3.5mm jacks laying around but apparently that introduces issues. Is there any proper device to introduce between motherboard and headphones to lower the volume?
maybe equalizer apo and peace plugin .preamp option on them
low budget here
>t. i want a new headphone but i dont wanna spend too much
also in my city pioneer and sony are the only good marks available
i did it good?

How accurate is this advice?
>Superlux Evo 681
Cheap but pretty damn great
>HyperX Cloud IIs
Best headset you can buy under $200

Nice because of wireless and using for ps4/ps3/pc

Good all around

Please fuck off back to vidya kiddo.
Finally got my o2 and d30, I've got several questions for you guys.
-Should I use it with gain enabled or disabled? Headphones are 598s
-How are you managing to adjust the volume with a knob? It's been like an hour and I had to change the volume 20 fucking times or so, and all I did was listening to some music, talking to a friend and watching several dumb videos on youtube. I can't imagine my daily workflow (work as in neet, not as in actually working) being interrupted every 2 minutes to get my hands off keyboard and mouse to adjust the volume.
Pic related.
I wonder if she has cute feet
You get used to reaching for the knob, or just use digital volume control.
Doesn't using digital volume control kinda kill the whole idea of having a non-integrated dac and amp?
those are dumb. the only ones worth wearing are the ones that go behind your ears and are more discrete
Not really, the point of a dac/amp is more volume and separation from noisy parts inside the case. Most people see the tactile volume control as a benefit, but since it seems you don't like it, using digital doesn't really hurt anything either.
What happened to his jaw? Where did it go? Did he lose it?
Hey Jow Forumsuys. I've recently notice a rattling sound in the bass range of my HD 598SE.I did the Bass shaker test here:audiocheck.net
Check for hairs touching the driver
none of those are good headphones
sounds like the advice a gamer would give after reading a marketing sheet
I did. Its all clean.
Only use the high gain if you need it, as in your headphones are so insensitive that they don't go loud enough otherwise. I don't expect you'll actually need it with 598s.
I have an O2 as well and I actually like having a volume knob. I find it much more convenient personally
>all-around volume control in the same place, this generally means I can set and forget all the different digital volume controls and just use this one
>it's a physical knob, as such I always know at a glance how loud it is
just bought some sony headphones MDR-EX14AP for like 10 dollars. I really don't care about the specs, i am new at these things. Did I make a good choice or did I get memed?
could have gotten apies for like 20 that have foam padsu :3

Planatronics RIG. Too fragile, I rage often, the mic was terrible shit.
no shitphones
>>all-around volume control in the same place, this generally means I can set and forget all the different digital volume controls and just use this one
Maybe it's just me being autistic, but I do more than one audio-generating thing pretty often, for example - listening to music and talking with friends or playing a game and watching videos on the internet. Different mics, different types of music, different videos - I really like the ability to just scroll up or down with my mouse wheel on any application to quickly adjust it's volume.
As for the general, system volume - I barely touch it ever. Now, that I got o2, I'm trying to keep both system and the application that's supposed to be the loudest at 100%, but I'm failing miserably.
>>it's a physical knob, as such I always know at a glance how loud it is
pic related is my setup, keeping my system volume at fixed level, mpv default volume at 50 and adjusting applications with mouse scroll usually gives me enough control that I never get ear raped no matter how dumb and loud is the new video one of my friends send me.
i never buy things in the internet, idk even know if there is difference between the appies and sony, and i feel pretty good with the Sony eardildos. I was planning to buy some Marley Smile Little Bird but seems like any earphone with 100db are the same
thehouseofmarley.com
I don't really do anything with multiple sources other than talking to friends and playing a game, in which case I adjust each game's volume once so it's at the proper level in relation to the VOIP application and after that I use the volume knob if I want everything quieter or louder. Different use cases I guess. I got tired of fiddling with multiple levels of digital volume controls all over the place, so I try to keep them untouched as much as possible after setting them up once.
Should I get the beyerdynamic dt770 80ohm, or is there a better closed headphone for around this price?
Is this a good idea?
Please r8 no h8
it's ((Zeos)) new site

Help a brainlet
This is from the datasheet on my ten year old P5K-E. Is this the impedance info I'm looking for? Will a Pro 82 sound okay with its 32 ohm impedance?
>that wall of mud in the bass

Fuck off with your 3D garbage.
Imagine making a thread about fucking headphones
Do you discuss with your peers about what spoon you use too gigantic faggots?
im looking for a 250 dollar closed back headphones that nedds no amps or dacs can anyone recc me something ?

>stax l700
meh
Headphones are not turing complete
sorry wrong picture lol
but still meh
You're not turing complete
So what would be better for my device? The Pro 80 is 60 ohms. How do I actually find out how many ohms my mobo can drive?
It's a $60 headphone
buy stax
This is a another lie right?
obviously you fucking clod
argon user is just no headphone user is disguise
So what up with this?
What's up with what?
It says ashley on the order list. Ashley is a girls name?
Ever heard of image manipulation?
>Areallygoodedit.png
Have you considered it might be an edit?
first off ashley can be a boys name
second off argon user is a teenage liar, nobody is fooled by his constant lies
third off stop samefagging your shitty posts argon user and trying to roleplay as a fucking thot of all things
Argon user thinks he is le epic trole but in reality people are just annoyed at him constantly shitting up the thread.
F.
>thot
Don't call me that. Because I am not. Also not samefagging. Scizoid.
Not tryin' to troll anyone. Some faggot thought I was a shitskin so I told him the truth
Sure, Rakesh.
should I get the t60rp, or the HE4xx, or the m1060c I want planar headphones cause I like how they sound over my HD600's
hifiman.
Okay. Ahmad.
none of those
is Zeos a shill or something? from what I've seen of him, he's incapable of disliking something lol
Argons mk3
happy 4th anons
did you buy the HD800 before the HD600??? pls tell me you didn't downgrade to those user
Isn't bass too overwhelming on that mod? Soundstage is apparently huge though
I bought them after, it pretty much improves on everything besides tonality. I'll listen to either one of them depending on mood.
it's impressive how flexible the t50rp chifi driver is lol
Planars don't get good until they're the same price as estats, at which point just buy an estat. HE4XX is better than the other two you listed. They're competitive with dynamics in the same price range and even a hundred or two above depending on your taste. Rest is garbage.
Best iem under $400?
HAHA FUCK IS THAT SINGAPORE
Shipping to Australia from the US shouldn't take this long. Fucking hell it's stuck in Germany for the past couple of days.
Logitech ue6000 on german amazon. Likely the best you can get.
