buy stax

I've never seen anyone recommend Tin T2s here.

Or any chink-fi for that matter.

Finally a non-cancer OP image. I wonder if the mod will delete it.

>Or any chink-fi for that matter.
regular recommendations : pro 82, nfb11, smsl range of products, superlux stuff
enough chink fi for a lifetime.

I've seen it in the past two threads

>Taskbar shilling is not cancer
Kk

>no feet
Shit thread.
>hd600 / topping recommendation
The silver lining.

What is the logic upgrade for someone who likes the DT880? HD800?

Stax

I love jergpad he500

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

Attached: 1524821797448.png (960x540, 524K)

DT880 -> HD600 -> STAX L700.

DT1990 or yeah modded hd800

Should i get Stax Lambda Nova Basic with Srm-xh?

Attached: s-l1600.jpg (1440x811, 91K)

I don't really see the point in going from the DT880 to the HD600, have tested it before, it would be a borderline sidegrade. But i'll will keep an eye open for the L700.
haven't really considered another Beyer, will read more about the DT1990, thanks for the tip, user.

i love my lcd-x

wireless gayman headsets

SDR modded HD800

I am conflicted between buying pic related or MDR-V6. I need headphones for casually listening to music and watching movies. pls help

Image creator and OP here, this image is very cancerous due to the fact that the truth butthurts the DT770 shills.

Thanks for your feedback. I'm updating the image today probably. I'll include anime feet.

Please post your preferred image.

Price range?
I'll go ahead and say i have the V6 and it isn't very good for home listening.

Idol, I like you a lot brother, but I was talking to the other autist

you are my favorite /hpg/ autist though

HD600 is a meme

A good one.

I like my MDR-7506 for everything but sony should make a version with a shorter or removable cable

I don't necessarily agree with all of these recommendations, the list is just a compilation of the recent shills. I forgot to include stax.

I would replace the tin T2 with the monoprice 9927 or Superlux HD381 any day of the week (WITH EQ).

Why do normies praise these for being audiophile headphones?

Idk man I fucking love my hd660s and hd650 so much, they're just ridiculously good and people say the HD 600 is even better so

Don't get me wrong. They are great headphones. It just becomes a meme when poorfag budget objectivist claim that's all you will need and there is nothing better.

I bought the 660s for 200 bucks yesterday, I'm excited.

Same. Curious to see how it'll compare with the 600 and 800S.

Don't normies like Beats?

I said normies not niggers

Have you heard them?

my bad, probably due to their marketing mix.

I have. Great compared to consumerist bullshit. trash compared to anything worth a damn.

sub $200 headphones with great mid and high freq response? I mainly listen to screamo and powerviolence

Sorry, see OP image.

funny picture, I don't get to who you are responding though.

My little brother said Marques Brownlee a couple years ago I purposefully misunderstood him
saying Marques Brownie. I made him cry lmfao.

Tech nigger has seen the light now that he has heard the HD800

The HD800 is barely better than the 600 without EQ

Hey, I just looked over the m50x's FR.

How exactly do these measure bad?
From innerfidelity's FR I see that it at least doesn't have blaring highs.

I never listened to them though.

Poorfag budget objectivist detected

Silly user

see

lol he got you brother

And you still shill the 600s. I'm actually shocked user. Most people fall for the meme usually haven't heard better.

I have never shilled the 600. It's a mediocre value headphone that barely improves with EQ. Whereas the HD800S has a couple FR issues out of the box that are annoying but once corrected blow the 600 out of the water. I'm just commenting on how brainlets leave fidelity on the table by refusing to EQ.

Why do people suck off the Sennheiser sets so much if their sub bass rolls off so hard?

I went from the DT880 to the HD 600 and I don't want to use the DT 880 again. Switching felt like a big improvement for me.

>sub bass
Causes headache and, eventually, brain damage.
HD600 provides enough so you can tell its there, and not enough as to cause damage.
Just my two cents.

>HD600
>not causing brain damage
kek

Sony mdrv6 / 7506 are excellent.

I'm with you dude. EQ makes good headphones great.

Attached: sonarwerks.png (1152x656, 128K)

Those are AKG head rape bumps.

yeah EQing is great, what's this gay EQ software though?

Sonarworks is nice, the next step would be to buy an EARS and figure out your own HRTF and ideal target curve.

Headache from sub bass?

Sennshill cope is real

Brain damage?

Attached: 1393118382198.jpg (610x813, 85K)

normies define audiophile differently that autists. sr60s are great for the price range.

Do (((we))) hate takstars now?

Btw, Pro 82 owner here. Best meme I fell for so far

Alright I take back the 'gay software' thing, finally some much needed standardization in the audio world, installed the trial right away.

I'll try it out.

Don't get me wrong, i understand why people would preffer it to the DT880, but i feel that they simply are good at different things. For me it doesn't really work as an upgrade, although i'd probably enjoy having one too.

No they're a fine headphone. I just prefer the beyers

Oh wow, I just realize if you combine this with EqualizerAPO, you can also try out the harman curve.

I don't know if I like this new flat SPL sound signature better than the equal loudness contours flat sound signature though.

Now I can have all 3 grail sound signatures.

Hmm interesting. Definitely boosting the bass. It sounds pretty good. I don't think I'll keep or buy it though.

Attached: Untitled.png (312x448, 21K)

Well, it's compelling software to say the least.
Absolutely needed in the audio world.

However, I'm not sure if I really like this new sound signature.

I feel like it really takes the magic out of the SHP9500S. I don't like it. The K702 sounds like it might be improved though.

Repeat from dead thread:

Anybody getting their order cancelled from the 80% sale last night?
Money's still taken out of my account and I've got a confirmation email.

But I've heard tale they cancelled some orders, sans proof though.

>read more about the DT1990
people praise them, and rightly so
BUT, they are not worth $600,I owned them, returned back to 600s
if you like 880 senns would be a sidegrade, comfier sidegrade though
it's either stax or end of the game at this point
upgrading from hd600 tier headphones is futile

Their truefi is fucking garbage imo. Try their system wide reference.

well, rumors on the internet.

If there's no proof I think you're gonna be fine. Keep in the back of your head that it might still get cancelled.

Mine hasn't been cancelled yet.
I think the 1990 is worth it on build alone. I do also think the bass is much better than the 600, but not everyone cares about that I guess.

what's the difference exactly?

What's this now? What 80% sale?

It's over.

Sennheiser made a mistake with coupon codes.

So... what? Was it legitamately 80% off?

Flat is flat no?

I think the corrections are different. It sounds different and worse to me than reference 4

How are they?

Need [(frequency, Q, gain)] for:
- HD600 -> Harman
- MSR7 -> Harman

Attached: 1523967827272.jpg (830x1060, 156K)

You have to do it for your own HRTF otherwise the treble will most likely sound off.

Unfortunately I can't make decent measurements, so public ones for other new driver HD600 / msr7 is the next best thing.
But If I like what I hear, I might go the measurement route.

Attached: 1519974776233.png (294x343, 135K)

>HRTF
Err I'm dumber than usual today.
Keep in mind HD600 doesn't have much variation with positioning in head. IDK about msr7.

Are the Tin T2 better than the soundmagic e10? I'd like something that's an all-around upgrade.

Positionin isn't the only thing, you have to take into account your ear shape and size, ear canal diameter and stuff. You'll want to run a sine sweep and note where peaks and dips are. A peak at 7.5K is "normal" but it should be even otherwise.

To do this properly I'd need a reference, and I have no reference.
Which is why I want to just turn hd600/msr7 into ideal harman. That'd be a decent starting point.

Can confirm MDR-V6 are excellent. I have a pair of $200 headphones but I still find myself going back to the MDRs from time to time.

i'm considering a dac to replace my fulla 2, so i should get the d10?
i was gonna get the d30 but if the d10 works too that'll be cool.

i have a k271 mk2 but want more base for cheap. is this a good choice?

Attached: Sony_MDR_7506_MDR_7506_Headphone_49510.jpg (2500x2500, 402K)

I feel like I got meme'd by high end audio. Sure, it sounds a bit better, but I'm not really getting anything more enjoyment out of my music.

>I feel like I got meme'd by high end audio.
that's what you get for buying "high end" audio that isn't STAX.

Better than any over ear cans

Hell no. That barely has any.
What did you buy, and why was it not HD600?
