LOL, Stax being audiophool meme confirmed

A new meme was born in previous threads:

Stax incel - An audiophool who got memed into buying expensive electrostatic headphones which actually sound worse than a cheap mid-fi dynamics. Being a victim of buyers Stockholm syndrome Stax incel tries to defend his choice as hard as he can, but he always fails because you can't argue with facts. Stax incel is a part of "Most Valuable Goy" meme.

So, i'm upgrading from a Superlux HD 681. Which headphone am i supposed to go next? I like both the Koss Porta Pro and the superlux, if that help's in something. Im thinking if the HD600 is a good option.

Post headphones

alright, which headphones would you recommend?

HD600 is basically the HD681 without the retard levels of treble.

>t. triggered stax incel

okay but why did the mods delete the last thread, aside from that one homo posting porn there wasn't anything wrong

Massdrop hd58x, the headphone you can mod to turn it into an HD660

diyaudioheaven.wordpress.com/headphones/measurements/brands-s-se/hd58x-jubilee-massdrop/

people like the op were reporting it, ops a loser who wants to be the one creating threads.

previous thread still wasn't at bump limit

It's not a bad one, though you'll lose out on bass compared to the Superlux. Something like the DT880 is a closer upgrade to them.

it was at like 299 which has been close enough all the other times the new threads get made

Listen here faggot I wanted to create a thread that wasnt beyer shitposting

>shitposting

Oh, posting your preferred headphones outside of stax is shitposting now.

gotcha!

I was referring to the 4 or 5 other beyerhpg made all at once if that's not shitposting spamming flooding etc I dont know what is

where is my beryllium chinkfi headphone tracking said it was supposed to be delivered yesterday

Attached: 1509275023003.png (650x773, 47K)

Are the headphones on Massdrop any good?

Also if you had even bothered to look at the thread you would have seen my posted headphones

those were all shit but the last thread made was (relatively) free of shitposting outside of one mad faggot who made two porn posts and that got the axe too

Yeah, you are the Italian loser, so it all makes sense.

Yeah that's the thread I made with the stax omega 1 girl this image

Attached: fixedstax.png (426x691, 185K)

I already told you guys, see here; This is the reason, 100%. Other-thread had about 4 beyer posters who posted their own headphones and got instantly banned. It's either the mod who posts in here and hates beyers, or the op himself reporting every thread / post.

Italian sure granted I'm not a European so if it helps you sleep better at night calling me that go right ahead

Stax is garbage

ask your neighbor
HD6xx is literally the HD650
HD58x and HE4xx (same as HE400i) are better if you don't want to use an amp
K7xx have the best soundstage but are a bit boomy bass port mod makes them much better
Elex has good tonality but it gets fucked at loud volumes and bass heavy tracks (same issue as the elear as it uses the same driver

which brand. I was considering getting a pair of msur n350 after watching the review from ourguy

Literally nothing to do with headphones. Just get some HD600s already and be friends.

I wasn't banned for posting in it, only the OP for spamming was, understandably so

Attached: IMG_20181130_040320.jpg (2484x3513, 1.26M)

I plan on getting some of 580 jubilees soo and I have a k400 and Dt880

Also notice how this thread out of all the others is still alive. Last thread was posted when the old thread had about 3-4 posts before it 404's.. it's usual to start a new thread from there.

I wouldn't be surprised if the OP is a mod.

the rbh hp-2 branded as haafee but they disappeared from the internet kek
you are a newfag has no clue what he's talking about. the post was made before bump limit. normally that can be okay but normal threads don't have posts inside getting mass reported.

Perhaps not, but all posts were instantly deleted, and one guy got banned for "flooding" which he posted last thread.

Also I'm not a beyerposter yet I got banned

Why was the other thread nuked?

>you are a newfag has no clue what he's talking about.

I've been on Chan since ;07. Don't flex your pee brain at me. 1+1=2. By the way, i reported the mod / janitor on IRC for abusing his powers with logs of archives.

Hope you don't lose your only power in life ;(

Attached: 473.png (712x512, 55K)

This I wasnt flooding I just wanted to show that one can own both Stax and beyers

As a test for further evidence, i also reported op's thread 10 times for spamming / flood, which should initiate an instant remove of the thread.

Guess what, it's still up gee... i wonder ;)

Have you ever wondered if /hpg/ would be better off at /mu/?
90% of posts in these threads are shitflinging about gear.

the massdrop is about to end, should I get the hd58X or something else around the same price?

/hpg/ would be better if it were all stax users

if it moved to /mu/ then it would become 97% shitflinging about what music to use them with

/mu/ mod is at least better then the dumb European faggot on Jow Forums.

HD58x drops every day, don't worry too much about it
they and the 4xx are pretty much the best under $200

Am I the only one who thinks Sennheiser has completely fucking lost it? I mean I just got this and it sounds like dogshit and it's insanely uncomfortable. Back to my Game Zero. Even the HD660S was a disappointment and don't get me started on the HD800(S).

Jow Forums would unironically be better if users were instantly banned for 3 months if they accidentally reddit space with no ban reason listed. retards would try to post, get banned, and then their curiosity would fade by the time they are unbanned.

No because their taste in gear is just as bad as music.

no because gaymers eat the edgy look and don't care about comfort or sound.

Cant post my beyers? in a free country? janitor who does it for "free" can suck a fat one. I'll post my beautiful beyers as much as i want in a headphone thread.

By the way who else has beyers?

Get fucked mate, but on a serious note. Just imagine how ugly, and fat the janitor on Jow Forums is. He probably reeks up an entire apartment block with his stench.

I own the HD 600 and they aren't amazing as anyone else says..

Out of Koss Porta Pro, Sennheiser 206, Sennheiser 202 I, which one is worth a buy?

I just tried the HD 660s in audio store. Still not amazing. Although they were harder to drive than my HD 600 slightly more.

I have DT880s(which I love). Getting these puppies in a couple weeks.

>Although they were harder to drive than my HD 600 slightly more.

How would you know? you didn't take your amp with you and try to power them you massive sperg.

660s are easy to drive as are 650's.

I might try some beyers out tomorrow. What songs did you like on yours?

I do, really like them. Thin of upgrading to the DT1990 in the future, but right now i'm happy as it is.\
I do want to test more brands and models though.

Attached: IMG_20171031_173105421.jpg (4032x2268, 907K)

Because they were quieter. I brought in my own and compared it to how my HD 600 acted with it too at home.

DT1990 is inferior to the DT880.

Well, that's why i like testing headphones, only way of knowing how much i will like something.

>Spoken like the true, uneducated, poorfag you are.
Are you upset that I criticized your shitty headphone? You must really be attached to that purchase.
To the other user, just google DT1990 frequency response and you'll see what I mean. They're nails on chalkboard bright.

dumb graph reader

>hurr durrrr guys liosten to me

Put a cock in it, you uneducated swine. explaining to you is like explaining what driving a Ferrari feels like to someone that has only ever driven Toyota corollas from the 90's.

Precisely, just another uneducated swine that has never touched a pair of 1990's, and is unwilling to learn/understand sound is all subjective and graphs mean nothing.

Back to SBAF you subjectivist retards.

best headphones I can get under $250 USD. Mostly gonna use it for csgo and youtube

Other user here, while i do check graphs all the time for refference i do preffer to test headphones whenever possible, after all buying headphones is about what i like to hear, not necessarily about what measures the best depending on the target.

Fair enough, just be forewarned that the 1990 is brighter than the 880, I actually enjoy the 880 but the 1990 was just too fatiguing to listen to and enjoy.

I posted this in the other thread that got nuked, but I'm not the beyerfag...

Years ago, I remember there was a open-backed over ear set that came in purple that people here loved because it was affordable and good, but I can't remember the name, anyone know what it was? It's probably discontinued now, but it bothers me not knowing.

AD700

Smart. You can use graphs for a general estimate of the sound signature, but ultimately it's about what you personally hear. Buying headphones without trying them and others first is stupid and leads to all these justifications, buyer's remorse and circlejerking.

You know nothing, stop spewing your uneducated swine. DT1990's are considered darker.

Why do you keep combing back here? Everytime you come back its so obvious.
>muh graphs

Gas yourself sapphire. It's so obvious when you stop by because no one even mentions CG ONCE while you are gone but you can't help but bring up your imaginary nemesis because you forgot your medication you schizo fuck

Looking for a replacement cable for fiio f5 iem. It doesn't have a "ear hook" design.(amazon.com/F5-Headphones-Aerospace-Diaphragm-Compatible/dp/B071JP2J5M/)
Tried this but it bends at a weird angle because of the hook/memory cable thingy. Mmcx side connection itself doesn't even goes in well and could easily be detached.
I am now searching for some cheap replacement cable on aliexpress. What exactly should I be looking for? Do i need to avoid any cable with hook design? (which is the overwhelming majority of them) Will this kz cable works? (aliexpress.com/item/New-KZ-MMCX-Cable-Silver-Plating-Cable-Upgraded-Cable-Replacement-Cable-Use-For-Shure-SE535-SE846/32820576571.html)

This, the guy is a fucking imbecile and constantly talks bullshit every single thread.

It's probably the Italian with the HD600's.

Wow, quick reply, thanks. These are definitely what I was thinking of, looks like they've been discontinued and replaced with the ad700x

Attached: AUD ATH-AD700.jpg (499x400, 28K)

I also guarantee it's the same retard who talks bad about stax.

That's just him LARPing as an ESL nigger with bad English to bait you. He's Canadian. /hpg/ consistently is trash with him around he can't help but shit up threads

Be warned that the pads are not as comfortable as the originals, however you can get other pads for it or even the pads of the old AD700, which should fix the problem.

Considered by who? A bunch of deaf audiophiles. Look at Diy-Audio-Heaven's measurements of the 1990 and the 880, it's obvious that the 1990 is brighter. And yes, I've heard them. I'm a huge fan of the DT250, I'm not an anti-Beyer poster. I'm just a better listener than 99.9% of posters in these threads.

>Considered by who?

People whom actually own them and have tried them, imbecile. Please refrain from talking about headphones you cant afford, or have never held in your flimsy hands.

Much appreciated!

Yeah and many audiophiles believes in cable magic, your point being?

>I'm just a better listener than 99.9% of posters in these threads.

Most fags in these threads are poor listeners.

Dude actually you are an imbecile here. If headphones have more treble on measurements they simply can not sound "darker".

it's a bit more complicated than that, the main treble spike on the dt1990 is higer than the one on the dt880 but it's located on the 8.5Khz range while the one in the dt880 is on the 7.5KHz so some people will found one more problematic than the other, the other issue is with distortion being higher on the dt880, treble is where we are the most sensitive to distortion so treble in the dt880 sounds harsher and more sibilant than the dt1990

>the other issue is with distortion being higher on the dt880, treble is where we are the most sensitive to distortion so treble in the dt880 sounds harsher and more sibilant than the dt1990
Oh god this is some new level of audiophoolery.

This is why I advocate looking at measurements and trying out headphones in person, as opposed to listening to some random retard on the internet who could be justifying his purchase or who has straight up poor listening skills.
I hated Tyll but the guy was a walking encyclopedia on headphones and having listened to so many headphones, shill or not, I think his opinions are valuable, I know he's retired now. I thought his subjective impressions were quite valuable too.
