Thanks mods for keeping /hpg/ scampicker-free
lol, are those bumps from the old K701s?
I didn't notice until now that you copy+pasted the OP post twice for some reason, may as well remake the thread
either that or the hd600
it's up for interpretation
Thoughts on this FR? Extrapolate the general sound
Impossible to say without knowing the form factor, coupler, and compensation curve.
It's an IEM. Can't speak to the rest of the stuff tho. It looks like an Ety curve to me. Just want 2nd opinions.
It looks okay, the hump at 4-5K could make it sound forwards and perhaps accentuate sibilance slightly. It lacks in bass but I'm sure you could tweak that with EQ.
I didn't know about the hd660s. How do they compare to the hd600?
better, but not $500 better
Cheers man. Thanks for that. I'm more a fan of bass-light cans/IEMs anyway. I'm just not entirely sure the treble roll-off is that appealing (then again, that could depend on measurement rig).
Do you think the treble roll-off is much of an issue?
Personally, I can't say it is. IEMs always sound harsh to me anyways, but YMMV. Stuff above 10K can be ignored unless there's a massive spike or notch, couplers aren't accurate at all there and mics tend to roll off too.
Thanks again.

Watanabe You wearing HD800S
First time seriously looking to buy a headset and I was wondering if the Hyper X Cloud Alpha head are a meme or really good? Would the HD600 or DT880 be better? Mostly for gaming, wearing glasses aswell so i need something comfy.
dont fall for the gaming headset meme
Ok user I have a cheap $10 mic that's pretty good anyways. Which would you recommend for a $100-$200 closed headphones for gayming/music?
Should or shouldn't I buy a snake oil headphone cable?
massdrop.com
$135...
Don't bother.
>dont fall for the gaming headset meme
Is this the gaming headset equivalent of Sennheiser??
It's basically an HD558/HD598 with a good quality noise-cancelling microphone. You can look up a mic test on youtube
Are the HD558/HD598 better than HD600 in terms of quality?
What are some models which sound very good but won't make you feel guilty about getting screwed over by diminishing returns?
Is it the HD600?
I'm very new to headphones.
What about a glass optical cable?
amazon.com
no
HD6XX, HD580
its a load of shit, glass/high end optical cables are an oxymoron as they are more jitter prone than 75 ohm coax for digital audio. Reason being there is an extra step in the conversion process. Coax, AES EBU and USB are far better options unless you are dealing with ground loops
Is this gayming headset glasses friendly? My frames aren't that thick or wide. I really hate when the pads squeeze my frames into my head its very uncomfortable. If not any other suggestions that'll fit my requirement?

How to mod Grados if I want to make them comfy?
sell them and buy some real fucking headphones you goof
Fostex T-X0 yaa or nay?
Convince me not to buy the Beyerdynamic DT-1990 PRO.
I am currently upgrading from the ATH M40x.
buy it and destroy the m40x
Idol trash here. What's your setup like, user?
Not HD600.
While it has 4 pads in the head band, they're way wider than the marks in this guy's head, and they're absolutely comfortable.
Watch some HD600 reviews on youtube.
But I want comfy Grados
Wow, I'm convinced. Buying the HD600 right now, thank you. In fact, I think I'll buy two for when the headband eventually snaps on the first pair. It would cost me about the same amount of money as a single pair of DT-1990 Pros anyway.
Nice try, beyer marketing guy.
I owned them. Mine had faulty drivers, in both ears, factory miss. Returned them for another reason.
They are barely better than 600s, and they give you this uncomfortable feeling of reflective sound inside cups compared to VERY open sennheisers.
Comfort is okay-ish if you flex the band, but still a little heavy. Can get used to. 600s still win on this.
What they are better than 600 at is separation of instruments. When I say better they are like 7% better no more. Signature is almost identical to 600s except highs are higher, some rare tracks sound sibilant.
Imaging is decent, amazing for music, but they are worse for gaming than 600s, I seriously didn't expect it.
I personally think their perfect price is $350, no where near $600. Same deal as with 660S - overpriced but good non the less.
This is not how balding works
>buy le legendary hd600
>nobass
Gross
>nobass
would a tube amp be a good idea for my lcd-x?
or should i stick to solid amps
>Impedance: 20 ohms
but i heard that an amp will improve the sound
or am i being tricked
wtf are you using now then
just my motherboard output
why would someone as uninformed as yourself buy an lcd-x
because i got money
alright knock yourself out

>not very expensive. $1200.
Jesus fucking christ
>graph shows the sub roll off
Wew
My HD600s just shipped from Sennheiser.
Will my hair grow back, my penis gain 5 inches, and girls cream when they look in my general direction now?
No, thats a STAX thing.
Yup. It's excellent, it barely rolls off and it does so in a smooth progression.
>could have bought stax but bought garbage instead
this is just sad
I have ears lmao don't try that shit
stax sound isnt for everybody
more like dark recessed mids planar shit is not for everybody
I doubt that poster tried any headphones at all before buying given his lack of knowledge and the fact that he bought planar memenetic
i got the lcd-x and hd660s, and yes ive tried stax
For longer than I can remember, I've been using Audio Technica M50 headphones, and I've always loved them. I couldn't ever understand why anyone would spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on headphones when you could pick up a set of awesome M50s for around $100. That is until today, when I received my Sennheiser HD 6xx's. The first 30 seconds listening to them ruined everything I thought I knew about headphones.
I'm so excited to start exploring and see what else is out there now!
What's my next step?
Stax SR-009S
nah, I don't believe you
Retard listens to Reddit and gets HD6XX lul
>What's my next step?
EQ. It's free.
dropbox.com
As for headphones, then maybe Stax. Or maybe an external amp/dac for your HD6XX if you don't already have one.
Excellent choice of thematically relevant imagery, OP.
Symphogear is obviously about the music.
They do sing in battle, and that's where the symphonic power comes from.
/m/usic
no, I don't believe you actually tried stax when you buy reddit entry level gear like this
lol
But OP is wearing headphones, thus very appropriate.
New season soonish, yay.
Sennheiser HD414 pads fit SR60/80. Not sure about the new versions. They seemed to be a big improvement over the awful stock SR80 pads but I didn't listen long.
Listen to Beethoven.
>(((Bernstein)))
No thanks, Shlomo.
Tube hybrids are fine. Check the output impedance and power delivery into low-z loads. I'm a fan of the Garage1217 Ember.
Sounds great.
Lyr 3.
Stretch out the headband (picrelated is just right for my average sized noggin) and get these pads - the thin inner foams do wonders for comfort:
ebay.com
Shortening the ends of the yokes allows a little more tilting with modern "mushroom" cup Grados.
1/8" bore shaft collars on adjustment rods for the extra convenience of always having the cups at the right height.
HD 800
thanks for the music recommendation
Sounds great on HD600.
are these headphones good for the price? i unironically enjoy the design
>shitty retarded gayming headset
No.
ok
General advice here is to just save up for and get HD600.
I'd recommend reading the wiki mentioned in OP regarding modmic solutions. plebbit Jow Forumsletsplay also has some useful mic recommendation threads.
Stop shilling them every chance you get you monumental retard
i currently own ath m40x, i plan on buying Brainwavz HM5 for them soon
i dont play games, i just thought they looked nice and are relatively cheap
