my piston 3s broke ironically as i was in a record shop lol
sadly i never bought pistons again and went with apie bs1s. amazing chinkbuds.
the tin t2s should be way better tho lol.

I had Pistons 2 for 4 years and they worked woderful...even now they are kinda okay but need a bit of diy fixing, but I decided to get a new pair, T2 seems to fit the bill

HD 600 SUCK

shud i byu hd6xx

Attached: EC353D7B-65C0-4D6C-9D7F-EAB03C27D4A4.png (657x527, 64K)

shit actually ur right, sounded super muddled with heavy distortion at loud volumes.
definitely not the greatest earbuds of all time XD
also ye the cable is a bit sticky >.>

yes, if you want like better soundstage but less neutral than hd600, if you want less soundstage but more neutral, get hd600. they'll run you about the same price.

yes just promise to resist urges to autistically shitpost them like kay?

less neutral wat dis men?
okey

hd6xx are gonna sound a bit more fun than hd600s. it'll sacrifice a bit of the detail for a higher energy sound, you know what i mean?
like all headphones have different sound signatures that make the same songs sound a bit different. more emphasis on treble and bass, for example, is what beyerdynamics do.

post your headphone test playlist

I got HD6XX (had HD598 for years prior to that). HD6XX are amazing and can listen to them for hours on end without getting tired....best purchase of 2018 and probably would not get any other headphone for a while.
Im using Magni 3 since i got it before Atom was announced :(

Attached: 1542242127607.jpg (4032x3024, 1.76M)

Do the IEMs with replaceable cables like KZ, Trn, or Tin use some kind of a named standard port? Thinking of getting one of them with a bluetooth cable but I'm worried about compatibility issues.

Attached: headjack.png (600x1224, 803K)

yeah thats a mmcx cable
you can get em on fleabay and amazon for a few bucks

Did you have that with the HD 598?

You cant go wrong with HD6XX/HD650. Even if you dont like you can return it or sell its second hand for almost full price since its a popular headphone in audiophile hobby

What makes it better?

Its just more clear and better overall, HD598 sound muddy after you listen to 6XX for a couple of hours

what does "muddy/veiled" sound like to someone who never heard of sennheiser?

put a blanket over your speakers

damn the hd598 are that bad? why the fuck people recommend it the 558/598 so much before a year or 2 ago? YIKES

Attached: 1543544224123.jpg (539x751, 42K)

I still don't think my HD 598 sounds muddy compared to HD 600.

It's not like a big difference like going from 480p to 1080p. It sounds same to me. What are you plugged in to?

>he doesn't own 1 of all forms of drivers
Can you even call yourself a headphone enthusiast?

Attached: 20181127_033920-1.jpg (3131x1597, 1.28M)

No, H598 are amazing headphones for their price 100-150$...its just HD6XX are better.
If you only use HD598 you will be happy i think, not everyone need HD6XX. HD598 are great for what they are, I can tell you that since I enjoyed them from 2014 to 2018

Yeah, going from HD598 to HD6XX its more like going from 720p to 1080P its noticeable but not in your face

Attached: 1543502191775.png (500x775, 179K)

Same
as this girl. I'm still happy with it even to this day over my HD 600

its that a fostex hpa4bl back there? how does it pair with planars, does it have enough power?

honestly on my 1440p monitor without the video FS I can't notice a difference that well. It's similar to how I feel the upgrade from HD 598 to HD 600 is.

What song do you like best on your pair?

no lol just saying that's what a veil is. it's like you have a blanket over your speakers.

idk...i listen to everything kek...from daft punk RAM to Idol Trash to Classic opera singers to BR2049 soundtrack

Any song you like user. Don't be shy. :3

They sound like shit

Hey guys, currently owning D30 and O2. but I need to be able to listen from two sources at once. Should I just get another D30 and a mixer, or grab something with two inputs and a built-in mixer to replace it? If yes, what do you recommend?

i got all 5 shipping soon. some are on the way rn so i'll have rips when they come in from nippon.
DM has a guitar hero 3 rip without the bullshit.
uploading it now btw. downloaded it from a forum and repackaged it
