Me

What are the best "cheap" headphones these days? I've been using Takstar Hi2050 for a while but they're now busted. I was honestly pretty happy with how they sounded. I've been figuring I'd go for something more expensive this time and get a pair of Sennheiser HD 579, but I was just wondering if there's any decent cheapos going around these days, and just how much I'm really upgrading by spending two or three times more money on headphones

I need like a uhhh external dac/amp that can also mix 2 sources into one. What do I do?

STAX SR-009

Focal Utopia

Am I getting chinked or are these still the best cheap closed headphones?

give zeos aeon review

>ordered HD800 second-hand
>guy I've ordered agreed to only ship it in a week and a half, so that I won't be on vacation when it arrives

Fuck, the thing which makes it even better is the fact that it's below the average prices I've seen for the headphones. Only thing I consider kind of a risk is the cable, which in the worst case isn't the absolute worst thing to change.

Cute headphones.

Also guys is it true wearing headphones all day will make you bald?

Anyone who's tested the Arcam rHead ? impressions ?

I made some easy headphone earmuffs after some anons here talked about the idea a while ago that turned out really well

>is it true wearing headphones all day will make you bald
if you wear headphones every day for more than 15 minute you will go bald

I bet your wife isn't even a virgin LOL

What up anons, I got some new IEMs today, just finished tuning them (EQ).

Maybe I'll report back on my anime watching night.

Is that elliot?

probably that one.

Cool guide user!

I saved it but you should include links, especially on the foam, that's a bit vague.

We don't know exactly what foam we should use, not too firm and not too soft is not very specific.

oof brother, that's a long wait.

the specific foam I used is leftover pick and pluck foam from a pelican case

thepelicanstore.com/foam/pick-n-pluck

it's not that cheap to buy on it's own which is why I didn't mention it, but yea I'll mention that it's what I used specifically

I was watching some vid and the headphones caught my attention

what brand / model are these if anyone knows

stax

cute_feet.jpg

We need to find good foam for this on ebay, ali for this to be a great guide.

I just got these new HD381 IEMs, they work beatifully with an EQ.

Headphones don't even make sense to me anymore, why focus the energy on the whole ear? That doesn't seem very efficient at all as everything that's going into the ear canal can only be heard.

I don't like how they feel, headphones are much more comfortable. Also muh soundstage

Do it user.

The comfort is a con with these but can be fixed with a different eartip.

Soundstage is a meme as it is largely dependent on FR.
But to please you, yes these are "open".

Now that the dust has settled. Opinion?

still wondering who your waifu is...

STAX is a meme designed to trick retarded autists into giving their money to the jewpanese.

Because you have a cute anime girl in the picture I'll respond:

You can probably do that in software.

Can I like uhhh plug an optical into my motherboard and mix that with my regular computer audio or is the optical on a motherboard just for outgoing stuff.

I use a fiio e09k/e17 external dac.

Best recommendation for some in-ears that have the most noise isolation? Need to block noise in a dorm; they'll primarily be used at my computer.

Ok

Sennhieser made in China

I would but it looks too big and overkill for my purposes. Does stuff like that also function as an external DAC because my integrated audio has grounding issues or some nonsense.

>HD 660S
>after five years, still sound great

>Fiio Q5 Mark II
>broke after 6 months

explain that /hpg/

Anyone tried Revols? Are they good? If not then what are some good custom molded wireless earphones with a mic?

Yes the mg10xu functions as a usb DAC as well.

first explain how you had the 660S for 5 years

the 660s is just the hd600 which was released 20 years ago, he probably meant to say hd600 but wrote hd660s since the headphone is the same so why not treat the names as the same

The HD660S came out all the way back in 2018 my dude.

Just around the same time the LCD2 classic closed debuted.

How could I not own it for 5 years?

You're a loser
haha

I think that boils down mainly to the eartips you'll be using.

I wish I had cute feet.

From what I understand they're quite bright and sibilant. I used to have MDR V6 which is similar and didn't really enjoy that

user, I like your thinking! I know it still sounds like shit, relatively speaking, but NO ONE that typically trolls this board will know about weed whacking or construction. The few who care are trying "noise cancellation," but that don't cut down the 60dB around you!

STRICTLY for low power devices, phone or mp3. But the resolution!

Attached: Ooooo.jpg (261x203, 11K)

This guy kinda has a point though, I think the chance is higher that I'll plug in some IEMs and suck the lawnmowing noise up.

You need to EQ that shit

Which IEMs? I know they all have Killer isolation, so you're right about quiet. Imagine some under a pair of earmuffs? My problem is I hate sticking shit in my ear! It hurts and I sweat. And they constantly fall out. Nope, I need a head band on my shit!

7's confirm this sucks, especially when you're doing messy shit with messy hands and need to take them in and out a lot.

Got plenty of "clean" options. Strictly referring to the problem of +60 dB Noise around you All Day. It Gets Sweaty. And I haven't seen a headphone that can keep up yet. Why Not 66713605 ?
