How good a pair of headphones do you need to have before an amp is required to properly use them.

Eventually the money will just burn it's way out of your pocket regardless

Does upping the shit here actually make a difference, or is it just placebo for audiophiles?

no point in upping it unless if you have those type of music files

otherwise windows would just upscale it

I lost my KZ ZS5 v1, what should I replace them with that has a similar or better sound signature?
my niggas /csg/ directed me here

im surprised that csg didnt recommend you the Tin Audio T2

they are neutral btw

set it to 24-bit 44100 Hz

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

Attached: 1511338103615.png (860x600, 686K)

24bit 96KHz will give the windows upscaler room for upscaling 44k1 and 48k 16bit, and not sound any different than using the actual song's sample rate and depth. Anything higher will just waste cpu and potentially introduce distortion from aliasing.

yikes

because I animepost? so do tons of other people. and sharing my day to day audio plans hardly makes me an 'attention whore' pretty much every single post in this thread is the same thing. ok when I start sharing my life activities feel free to call me out on it. audiophile stuff is a hobby. do you know what section of 4chin you are on? might it be the hobbyist section? well? hmmm??? unless youre literally just saying nobody cares about my life in which case you're wrong and I could also say the same baseless thing about you. here we go: you must be a ugly fat loser if you've got so much free time to shitpost and be mean to people for no good reason. ps. i dont even care you insulted me, just proving a point.

I listen to multiple genres besides rap and pop music. Rock, Electronic and Metal are my go-to genres. For gaming I'll just plug them to my PS4.

HD600 for neutral
X2HR for v-shaped

fucking cringe @ the /soc/ posting

yikes

based yikes poster

>HD600 for neutral
Way over my budget.
>X2HR for v-shaped
Is there a difference with the regular X2? Is it worth the €50 more?

>Way over my budget.
But worth it. They sound good and they're forever, unlike whatever else you're probably going to buy because you're cheap.

>But worth it.
That's good to hear, but they're still over my budget.

x2hr has better pads, that's about it i think

no amp is needed

Stop posting my gf

This.

I wish I had just saved up another £150 and got the hd600 right of the bat. The headphone I got instead was lackluster and I ended up saving up for a he 500 (very slightly more expensive and better than the hd600) a few months later.

The hd600 can last you ore than decade and is the gold standard in value for money.

does anyone have a link to that website that tells you all the worth-it headphones? I can't remember what the fuck it was called, it classified headphones into red/purple groups for open or isolate, you could filter by price and shit

that website is trash

it's called canpicker

canpicker

>x2hr has better pads, that's about it i think
Doesn't seem worth the additional €50.

Alright, I'll go for the X2s then. They also seem really easy to drive so I won't even need an amp for them.

>280€ on thomann
>"way over" 250€
If you want to buy trash to save two pennies and regret it later because you're a cheap fuck you don't need to ask for advice since it's pretty clear you can do terrible purchases by yourself.

Should have gotten the 600, period. You fucked up.

They are considering I have to also buy an amp for them.

What does a standard bass boost look like? I've boosted 5db up to 110hz. I'm trying to boost the bass a bit in my AKG K702.

what type of cable do i need to plug my hd650 into my PC?

3.5mm

the jacket on my phone doesn't seem to be 3.5mm

the jacket on my headphone isn't 3.5mm, it's something else

Attached: 1511055340050.jpg (964x467, 33K)

Not necessarily. HD600 can definitely benefit from an amp but they can also do well without one, depending on the source. You can always get an amp later.

just search for sennheiser hd600 cables...

HD650 comes with a 6.35mm jack on the cable and an adapter from 6.35mm to 3.5mm (the common one). You will be able to plug them directly into pretty much whatever you want.

Nice idol.

Attached: 1526478755572.png (1920x1080, 1.68M)

I've plugged HD600 to about everything and they always sound good.
There's a small improvement from a dedicated amp (I've got a magni2 uber) but that's all.
