my X2s are finally breakin....

i bought them in december 2016 do u guys think if i contact phillips theyll hook me up or some shit, or are the X2HRs worth buying outright

>if i contact phillips theyll hook me up or some shit,
I'd try that before anything else. If you're in Europe, 2yr warranty is a given. Else, do check. They might also sell replacement parts outright like Sennheiser do, so you'd be OK even out of warranty.
>X2HR
If you're in the market for new headphones, I'd suggest getting HD600 this time around.

I'll probably watch the original first. But the LL sunshine had Kotori in the PV, so I was a bit worried about spoilers.

What is your opininion on Honoka, Nico and Kotori?

I think Maki and Eli definitely can sing the best in muse.

When are you going to get it?
Is it shipped already?

You know it isn't effective.

Sounds of boyfriends/husbands verbally abusing their girlfriends/wives.

looking for some sub-$50 IEMs for use at the gym. I had some cheap shit from best buy and they clogged with earwax after two uses and they couldn't produce any sound for half my workout yesterday which is quite shit. My ears aren't even that waxy but the sweat makes it a bit more fluid I suppose. Never had this issue before.

Anyway, anybody have some reccomendations? I couldn't find the /csg/ guide the IEM guides in the wiki are somewhat out of date

>What is your opininion on Honoka, Nico and Kotori?
I like them all.

Umi's abnormally good, a few steps above the rest. Same issue with aqours, yohane is the one there.

If you want something cheap and good, get a Takstar Pro 82.

Asking again from previous thread.
Looking for an alternative headset to Phillips SHP9500's to use with a v-moda boom mic in the price range of $70-$100. An user linked me to some Sennheiser PC37X's, which I'm considering, but I just want to get a look at my options.

>An user linked me to some Sennheiser PC37X's
that was me

I bought a hd 650 for a steal and I don't have an amp to drive these headphones. What are some cheap amps? Thinking of buying a E10k.

monoprice.com/product?p_id=11567
it's on sale, too

The Takstars look nice, but I'm reading that the v-moda mic doesn't work with them. PC37x's are gaining favor quickly.

This is from AKG head bands, right?

just get the PC37X, it's supposed to come with a good noise-cancelling mic

Yeah, I'm leaning more and more towards it. I need it kind of urgently because my G430 is actually falling apart. The part where the headband connects to the can is only reinforced by plastic and that's broken with normal wear. So every now and then the headphone just falls out. Real quick before I pull the trigger, PC37X vs Hyper X Cloud 2, any opinions?

PC37X is open-back, Cloud 2 is closed-back. Open-back is of course preferable.

Thanks, all the help is much appreciated, user.

HD 600; why you should always purchase HD 650s and HD 660 S' instead, as with their guaranteed +/-1db driver matching, of course

It's super effective. Empties your wallet in a matter of seconds.

Not available in the EU, anything else?

>$200 or less
I've tried an usb powered one, and got even worse noise. I'm suspecting my videocard or psu is the culprit, alt-tabbing stops the noise for a little bit, and starting a game increases it.
Or will nothing fix this sort of noise?

Yikes.

If I was an audiophool, I'd make my own tailored length cables to minimize signal degradation a million times over using those snake cables, even if I got them for free.

srsly, how much fucking money do you have to own to want to thoughtlessly waste it on shit like that. We live in a mentally ill society.

Attached: 1522935413755.jpg (1959x2500, 416K)

I doubt it. I can't see how that would cause hair loss

Really? I didn't like them

Serious question, I just found an incredible deal on an objective 2 amp in my local area, however my FiiO e10k drives my current lineup of headphones just fine

anyone reason to go out and buy it anyway? Only reason I can think of is satisfying the part of me that believes the audiophool placebophiles and allowing me to use EQs.

>AMA
No! Next month! It's technically shipped but its coming from the UK!

I like the sound magic ie10. It's a bassy headphone if you're into that

How much

£50

enough to make me think before purchasing it, but not enough that I'd want to kill myself every time I see it.

Good backup if the FiiO dies 10 years from now.

Has argon user posted stax yet? He has them right guys?

I mean there's no harm when it's just pocket money. You can ebay it if you don't like it.

I'm interested in the e10k, how is the bass boost function on it?

Seeing old audiophiles unironically makes me not to kill myself, it's like a weird glimpse into what my future might be like, being a rambly old placebophile who's still passionate enough to pump out videoes each day about his hobby.

I like this guy a lot, even if I'm pretty skceptical of what he says a lot of the time.

Attached: 1529044739154.png (1752x845, 1.8M)

Where did you find the deal?

That's the dude who loves schiit, thinks wires make a difference to sound and dislikes electrostatic speakers?

meeeehhhhhhhhhhh uhhhh tell you what, I'm going shopping for some new things tomorrow, if I end up not spending that much and the deal is still up then I'll buy it.

I hate the bass boost, it sounds muddy and bloated as fuck. I almost returned a pair of headphones that I auditioned on them only to discover that I had accidently left the bass boost on, once I had turned them off I thought the headphones were much better.

local second hand hardware store, the amp was in very good visible conditioned and had apperently only been used a few times.

Damn, I wanted to snipe it from you kek. you also replied to me earlier. I watched a bunch of youtube videos and they said the O2 is less warm compared to the e10k. And overall a bit better in every way. For 50 quid I would definitely cop.

Or you can buy and send it to me user :)

honestly I can't be too picky during a work out. Typically I have been listening to more of a V shape at home though. Been researching and that one came up as well and the final e2000 have been coming up in that price range. Not sure if my application would lean towards one or the other though

I know he's a placebophile audiophool, but I still like his passion which has extended far into his late years. I like him for his character, not for what he actually says and does.
