Amir at ASR is going to put Schiit out of business! He's finding major problems with their equipment. Now Schiit has *quietly* rolled out a firmware fix for their low-end multibit dacs. And they used asskisser atomicbob to fake the creation timeline. But to get the fix you need to buy a new one. WTF!??! What about every sucker who is stuck now with a 10-bit piece of schiit?
Jacob Gonzalez
what is the scam ?
Joseph Taylor
wtf are the difference between all the lambdas they all look they same, do they sound the same?

Got my Taskstar Pro 82. Thanks to the user that recommended it. I've been using it for a while now and it sounds comparable to my old MDR V6, maybe a little worst but still good. It's also the most comfortable headphones I've worn my V6 and HD662 EVO just can't compete. Should I change the earpads to an HM5 one? I have one with my old V6 but I'm not using it since the band is broken.
Also are there any place where I can buy replacement bands for my V6? The cans still works but the bands are bent. I bought one's from ebay and it looks cheap and painful to wear so I haven't tried to replace it yet.

Better ask the reviewer. (kup teraz!)

Sorry, can't comment on the Senfers, haven't heard them (yet, at least).
But... having the T2 myself and assuming Igor's tastes for sound signatures has stayed constant (prefers a bit of extra oomph in the bass and a treble that's guaranteed to not be fatiguing), from his reviews I'd assume the Senfers to be noticably bassier than the T2 in their stock form, which to my ears are quite balanced sounding.
With Igor's reviews, I've noticed his preferences seem to compare with mine in such a way that when he comments on treble along the lines of "could be a little too much for those with sensitive hearing", it's usually just right for me. Similarly with bass, mentions of wanting a smidgeon more usually equals to it not being an issue with me at all.
I wouldn't bother with Massdrop for chifi stuff, MD's discounts just don't seem to be worth the wait. Even more so if you have to pay extra for shipping to your location.
Assuming Aliexpress seller "wooeasy" still has discount thing going, you can get the T2 for $36.

On the HD600 you cut the black binder near the top of the two headphone wires, right?
Charles Baker
Jayden Parker
No, unless you want to split the headphone cable for some reason.
Aiden Davis
How does it sound? I've read some reviews and it says that this headphones have pretty "flat" bass and with the switch you can make it deeper, but the sound is turned to something messy. Is it really this bad?
What about plastic? Does it look like it can be broken easily?
Will jazz music from 50's-70's and some rock/metal sound good in this headphones?
I have creative aurvana live 2 right now, i like the sound (except bass -- it is pretty loud and deep, but not so detailed), but the material they are made of is so fragile. I use them only at home and i'm pretty neat with things, but i've broken it twice already, there are a lot of little cracks on it. I've just glued it again, but i'm afraid that next time i won't be able to fix it.

Carter Cooper
I'm not really an audiophile but yeah the bass is kinda messy. The only plastic parts are only near the drivers It's a bit worse than the MDR V6 since the V6 feels like solid plastic while the Pro 82 is hallow with horizontal support and is really light but it doesn't look like it'll break easily. I tried listening to the link below a bit with my V6 and Pro 82 and the 82 comes ahead mostly because of the bass. I'm mostly using it for anime and games(3ds and switch) so I'm mostly satisfied but there are cases were the voices sounds weird to me though I'm not sure if it's an issue with CR/HS's encode.

Cooper Davis
Have you not heard of chokers? It's mostly for style and maybe SM play. I pretty much avoid anything on my neck so those kind of thing and buttoning the first button of a shirt is a no go for me.

Anyone come across the same (or similar) thick regular and donut foams as included in the VE Monk EX Pack?
Buying more EX Packs just for the foams would make no sense due to the extra junk in it that I don't have any need for.

takstar 82 pro or no
Sebastian Sanchez
Depends on what you count as meme. They're pretty much THE time-tested industry standard in professional audio engineering.
I've no personal experience of them myself, from what I've read, opinions seem to sway between "OMFG best bang for buck portables ever!" and "meh for music listening but *the* go-to headphone for pro audio work".
Gavin Murphy
Yay.
Christopher Green
Unless you take good care of them, yes. I keep each side from touching the other inside the CA case with a microfiber cloth.

The beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO and 990 PRO are the same price. Whats the difference/ I want them to sit around listening to music etc in the house. They are to replace my Sony MDR-7506 as they don't have enough bass at all. Have any of you with glasses got these headphones and can let me know how comfy they are?
Jackson Ward

I own them. They're shit.

They actually do sound very coloured. I understand they were good/price at some point, but that point was a very long time ago.
Nolan Smith
Have hd600s and love em. Looking for the next step.

Help me Jow Forums. I have quality headphones, but unless the video is really HQ then I need to turn up the sound 100% both on system and video and it hurts my ears.

Logan Hughes
Right now i have the cal2 but I'm getting the hd6xx in September
Jayden Mitchell
I wish that were me.
Thomas Rivera
The primary difference is 770 is closed back and 990 is open back.
I have the 770 and I enjoy them, especially on the low end

You mean live recordings?

Oh yeah and I also wear glasses and find them very comfortable.

buy it user, it's worth your money
Adam Lewis
Wow they charge $350 for this piece of shit? Looks more like a $50 headphone.
David Turner
I have a standalone amp but they work pretty well with my cell phone, should be okay for motherboard power.
Anthony Hall
80ohm you mean yeah?
Adam Powell
Maybe you should use it only as a guide instead of buying through it like an idiot?
Jace Lee
Yes
Gabriel Butler
Did you got the ATH after? Always being curious about them.
By the way, you can always tell them you are testing but you already made your research and you are pretty much decided, just want to be sure.
Jonathan Turner
thanks
Adam Garcia
not a problem
Juan Brooks
I have the 770 and 880. the 880 sounds better no contest, so I say go for the open one
Aiden Russell
I've tested my DT880 250ohms on the onboard several times before and it can get painfuly loud.
Aiden Hall
They are still very popular among engineers and in studios, but there are better options for home listening.
Chase Gray
For a true upgrade, get HD600.
Nice HD44780.
Christian Mitchell
>HD600
They are triple the price
Connor James
How much? And it's triple than what?
Chase Parker
HD600 are £313, DT770 PRO are £103
Bentley Hernandez
>DT770 Pro
Are closed and v-shaped, apples to oranges. For a neutral open beyer look at DT880.
>HD600 are £313
That price is bad. Try googling around. Thomann has them for ~280€.
Jeremiah Sanchez
I don't want to spend that much. I just want something comfier and with more bass than my mdr7506
Michael Jackson
That's HD600, the peak in performance/cost, worth spending a little more for. And you'll be using them for decades, don't be such a cheapass.
Liam Evans
I don't have a fancy audio setup
Cameron Wilson
You don't need a fancy audio setup. HD600 will sound good plugged to anything. You'll only get a small improvement from a dedicated amp, and only at high volumes.
Jason Foster
£250 is a lot for headphones dude
Ayden Wilson
Can any name brand iem or earbuds compete with the chink ones in terms of value?
Jason Garcia
Anyone have experience with the Cayin IHA-6 and IDAC-6 stack? Seems cheap relative to most balanced things. Thinking of getting the stack or IHA-6 + Topping DX7S or Gustard A20H.
Joseph James
Go watch some youtube HD600 reviews, particularly don't miss the take apart / put together vids.
Or you can buy another disposable-tier mdr7506-budget headphone, your choice.
Michael Campbell
What does Jow Forums think of the Focal Utopia headphones?
Has anybody here tried them?
Jace White
How do you guys listen to your music digitally? like where do you download/ stream from for the best quality.
Camden Davis
I have they are great, but not worth the price, 1990 gets your 90% the way there. More interesting then the Clear.
