Both are supposed to be really good the argons will take forever to show up though. Do you have a source powerful enough to drive either?

not sure if enough power though

there's this thread: For me, it's the SKX007.

Ehhhh, it will make sound and get loud enough and it probably wont sound bad but those things sound best if you have at least 1W of power coming out of the amp.

Pleb, overpriced crap. Buy Audio-Technica.

Good DAPs for $300ish or less? Just need it able to play most sound file types and have a decent amount of storage. And sound good obviously. Dont need crazy power from the output, I would be using either iems or low impedance cans from it.

Are there any good 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch cables that exist? My cans have interchangeable cables and I don't want to buy a shit one.

What's the best iem under $500?

I want something similar in sound signature to my Atticus: Strong bass, warm sound but also liquid clear mids. Please no thin sounding crap.

AAAAAAAA, I just can't make up my mind. WHAT TO BUY.I DON'T WANT TO BUY AN AMP. IGNORANCE IS BLISS. HELP(headphones between $150 to $200)

Thanks but they are not available in my country, and barely any other of the same brand either.

Thinking about the Sony WI-C400, they are cheapest ones with a large battery. Otherwise the local market mostly offers models from Sony, JBL, Jabra and Jaybird in my price range, and a few Sennheiser/Audiotechnia.

athws1100is

thanks, but that's not available here

Male-to-male, I presume? uGreen makes good quality affordable cables 'n' shit.

Anyone here owns UE900/s?
I'm not sure if this is worth it over Shure or Westone.

Hifiman just announced the release of 3 new models:
HE5SE, Jade 2 & Arya
hopefully, HE=500SE is next in line

Jade 2 looks sick, inb4 it costs $10K

Best portable headphones under $400 USD?

Maybe you just like accentuated bass. Nothing wrong with that. I like my sound either completely neutral or with a little more treble. To each their own.

$10 earbuds have better FR than it does lol. No subbass.

I have a Scarlett 2i4 which only has a 1/4 inch jack so I'd like to use my headphones with that.

yikes

Best closed cans around or under $350 for electronic, trance, classic rock?

should I buy this massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-o2-sdac-dac-amp?mode=guest_open for my HE400i or get a nfb-11.28

buy a nfb 11
the ultimate pill is realizing dac amps don't matter and just getting the one with the bigger knob

This. Audio-GD is kind of shit, and it's quite expensive.

If it doesn't matter, get the cheapest one though.

there really is nothing like a good, smooth volume knob. volume keys pale in comparison

have you tried any stepped attenuators? the relay ones are especially nice with the click-click-click as you move the knob

Before I bite the bullet, has anyone got any experience with the FiiO FH1?

I'm after:
- Good in low end (Bassy), without sacrificing too much
- Wired (as in not bluetooth) - with removable wires
- If possible, not over-ear cable design (not that important)
- up to £200 (USD 260), in UK

Music: varied, but mostly quite bassy - synthwave, electronic, old pop, rock, house, various Anime OST

I'm coming from 4 years of Musical Fidelity EB-33s, which were amazing, and I'm only moving away because their cables are quite fragile and I can't afford to keep replacing them (3rd pair has broken).

I've also given Active noise cancelling some thought (ATH-ANC33IS), but I've read that perhaps it doesn't make sense to have it in IEMs, due to their great isolation.

Any thoughts? Are there other pairs I should consider, given the criteria? I can get the FiiO FH1 for about £74.95 (USD 97)

Unrelated, but what's the best way to find out about IEMs? I've mostly been going by "top" compilations, and checking out individual reviews, then the ones they get compared to. I feel like there may be a more proper way/place to search.

They're all dark. The Shure treble extension is weak, the UE900 probably a little better in that aspect.

Nice graphic

Yggy is comically big, you’d never expect in on photos alone.

oh, nice, I haven't seen this particular list before. Thanks, I'll go through it.

Worst thing there is the Fecal Clear.

Those look good for bass focused music.

I got some Sony WH-1000XM3 cans yesterday as I want some ANC for some upcoming long haul flights. So far they're alright, a but bass heavy but I got them for cheap at wholesale price so I can't complain.

Through my work, very generous staff price policy.

What headphones does Miku use?

Damn you think you could share that discount with /hpg/

What to expect:
>great sound quality
>shit-tier build quality and warranty repair pingpong
>absurd pricing

I really wish that I could like Hifiman, but fuck that shit. No matter how good their stuff sounds, I have no interest in cheap chinky plastic that snaps broken when you look at it meanly and drivers that stop working during the first 100 hours.

ATH-AR3BT, later upgraded to ATH-WS660BT

it's like they're trying to fight their "cheap build" reputation by releasing more and more expensive products

Add a little extra for HD600. Worth it.
See youtube reviews.

HE500 was also released at the time when they weren’t such greedy motherfuckers and actually made competitively priced products. Now Sundara and Ananda are the only ones that fit that bill, yet it’s still hard to recommend them to QC issues.

>going through reviews listings
>most wireless in my budget range are shit
>doubling my budget would also require compromises

Thanks for that reply, you saved me from a bad deal. Hopefully I can make something out that isn't total shit and is available where I live.
