I don't see them posted about often, but how do you guys feel about Shure?
I've yet to listen to a pair of headphones as pleasant to my ears as the SRH-840's.
They're like ATH M50x's with midrange. And sennheiser but with bass.
Isaac Foster
Might as well give the same question as last time
I'm looking for a pair of wireless headphones that I can use, and also have a good mic included. Is there anything that has that?
Hudson Hughes
Audeze Mobius.
Anthony Garcia
Mail me your 840s immediately, hd600s are bass cannons compared to mine.
I kind of dig them as closed grados though.

If a smartphone can power and transform the signal into an analog what the fuck do large dac/amps do that takes so much fucking space?
Why aren't they tiny by default?

Maki is cute and I am also cute therefore it is okay.
Levi Stewart
Does anyone make HD800 cables that cost less than a stock replacement?
Owen Ross
no you're an ugly fat phoneposter now fuck off and die
Jeremiah Wilson
iris you are such an attention whore that if you were actually cute you would have posted pictures of yourself somewhere. go eat more ice cream fatty and deal with your depression elsewhere instead of forcing it on us
Jonathan Mitchell
What the hell.
How is this price legal?
Jaxon Sullivan
What the fuck, and i thought i got ripped off for paying $40 for a HD650 stock cable that's 3m.
Christian Bell
This was left unanswered in the old thread:
I'm looking for a new pair of headphones.
And I'm not sure if I'm making the right choices.
Is /hpg/ hostile to the Active Noise Cancelling trend, Is it a huge meme or nah?
My budget is around 100-150 eur.

Sound between 58X and AD700X is a tossup. Comfort however is antediluvian on the Senn while the AT is modern.
Alexander Green
only the closed is worth it
James Stewart
How come only the best in-ear monitors are able to reproduce frequencies past 16KHz? Is it a technical limitation, a safety concern, or somewhere in between?
Anthony Morris
Why would you think about the 700x when there is the 900x and it's just as cheap and completely destroys the 700?
If that's not good enough, buy the ATH AD1000X.
Luis Robinson
Also here is a link.

They completely destroy the sennheisers, not even HD650 / 600 comer close in clarity, detail and sound-stage.
Adam Rogers

Jack Garcia
>Actually buying and using a (((Shizenhouser))) headphone
Luke Ward
What kind of speakers though?
Christopher Collins
I have Stax. These dynamic sets are for family members. I've also used the AD900 from 2009-2014. There's no advantage to Sennheisers if they don't do what Stax does while being rejected by family for lack of comfort.
Ryder Parker
Also I doubt the 900X completely destroying the 700X, as the 700 was only slightly tonally colder than the 900 while having better comfort.
Lincoln Butler
>i have this
>I have that
Yet your cheap ass cant affords like $60 extra, just because you own stax doesn't mean squat. I already knew you were a retard when you thought buying the ATHAD700 in 2018 is a good decision, when you have the 900x and ATH-R70x available.
Enjoy your fatiguing cans.
Aaron Nelson
They're not my property. Their job is 10 hrs/day between two people on their computer.
>enjoy your fatiguing cans
I have one of the best Stax Lambda models. Yours is the fatiguing can, trust me.
Wyatt Turner
Enjoy your fatiguing cans, and while you're at it. Buy some reading comprehension.
>i-its n-not for me
Doesern't mean you should make a bad decision, and not put any thought into it.
Selfish cunt.

I have a sennheiser g4me or whatever because it has a mic and figured sennheiser was ok. now I'm looking for something comfy I can use to listen music with. any suggestions?

Is the Sennheiser IE 80 s worse than the IE 80? All of the IE 80 stock is out and the IE 80 S is on sale for $240 and below.

Final Audio Heaven 2s, which i enjoy immensely

Sony WH-1000XM3 worth for 350 aud?
Adam Cook
But that’s shit
Jonathan Martinez
Forza Audioworks Color Series will run you 90~100EUR which is like 35~40% less than what a stock cable costs in EU. I believe this is the cheapest without going for the chink stuff that uses poorly made knock-off connectors and shitty materials.
John Watson
It has the same DAC chip as that RME DAC whose dick you keep sucking.
Robert Carter
Haven't visited /hpg/ for a while, are those annoying STAX shills still around?
John Barnes
Good morning. Did you already buy ZMF?
ZMF quality is only comparable with Shiit.
Angel Davis
worse, they evolved into Shiit shills. Also the occasional ZMF delusional
Mason Taylor
same DAC != same implementation you brainlet
Brody Jones
>they evolved into Shiit shills.
What, how? I thought /hpg/ hates Schiit with passion?
Aiden Phillips
Idol trash here. What's your setup like, user?
Good OP.
Henry Scott
nah, only some trolls who copypaste sbaf shitposts
Jonathan Taylor
Now measure and compare them both, you colossal retard. In reality, the implementation of the chip tends to matter more than the choice of the DAC chip itself.

You most likely can't hear frequencies past 16khz, the 20 to 20000hz range is only valid for newborns. Your best in ear monitors are stealing your money with meme arguments.

i'm almost 30, i've been at concert, club and rave party from 14y to 25y going back home always with tinnitus. past year done a hearing test and i still hear 20hz to 18khz stop this bullshit i doubt there is someone on /hpg/ this old that cant hear past 16k

i can't find the Monoprice modern retro's that ship to slovenia so i'm thinking of buying these Pronomic KH-900, are they any good?
they look and cost exactly the same as the monoprice headset, i just hope the audio quality is superb as well...
James Young
open PayPal dispute probably
Lucas White
Most of the time people say they can't hear 20kHz it's because they have a shitty speaker/headphone
Jose Sanders
iSK headphone is sound better and cheaper.
Charles Martin
That, and retards who don’t know how to protect their hearing. The average Joe is unbelievably careless about their ears, going to gigs without any protection and listening to music with headphones at levels that start damagin ears within a hour.

Marv’s thoughts on original Yggy vs V2 upgrade
>Oh gawd. This has been the hardest secret to keep. This is the DAC that brought me from exclusively vinyl back to digital. Vinyl is still better, but Yggdrasil Analog 2 is close enough that my second system is exclusively digital. LOL, I actually told Jason I was going to call it the Analog DAC. I see that he's inserted the "Analog" moniker. Hopefully MSB doesn't get too upset.
>As usual, I'm going to be brief, and also because since I've been able to live with it for a while so the newness has worn off.
>Much blacker background, on the level of the the JFET active stage of the Freya. Not quite as inky as the Holo Spring DAC 3, but close enough. With this, increased articulation and bass textures. I think those people who felt the Yggdrasil had a bit of haze or grey background would be extremely happy. The balanced outs do better than SE outs. I actually prefer the SE coupled with decent balanced to SE transformers (Cinemag) than the SE out - sounds cleaner and clearer.
>Don't expect a Metrum sound. The Yggdrasil still has its bold incisiveness, so those wanting a more relaxed and easygoing sound should go elsewhere. This isn't a $1000 Rega table type of sound.
>However, there are denser tone colors, timbre, body, along with more fluidity and smoothness. Sort of how some R2R DACS like Master 7 or SFD2 have it. Not quite to the exaggerated extent of those DACs, but say two-thirds there.
>Even more microdetail and better sense of microdynamics.
>More localized depth around instruments, less cutout like, a la NOS. Not quite to that extent, but say 50% there.
>Slightly larger soundstage, but with stronger center soundstage and imaging precision.
>Maybe the best part: a hint of sweetness. The Holo Spring 3 has a similar kind of sweetness in the upper registers. The Yggdrasil Analog 2 has sweetness in the mids.
>More slam, a la Theta Gen V.
>That is all.

What does that even mean? Is your money being returned?

How's their T50RP mk3?
Noah Howard
Sony MDR-7506
or
Takstar 82 Pro ?
Nolan Baker
Join the Takstar army.
Austin Brooks
They're cheap and affordable. Also the cable on MDR is twisted, so they're not really that comfortable outside. But what about the quality? Would takstar last two years? I've used and listened to MDRs and they're pretty solid but I can't get my hands on Takstar unless I buy them.
Andrew Baker
Looking forward to amir's review.

He said he listed it at a wrong price and now he won't ship it. He said, if i want it i need to pay $200 more for it. I already paid the original listing price and everything, he sent me this email 5 dayd later when i emailed him.
I'll get a regund he said but still waiting.
