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.

>3 total ips
Samefagging so hard

I would sniff her headphone feet.

To anyone considering getting a pair of m50x, or even the 40s my advice is just buy a hyper x cloud stinger. It looks retarded sure but they sound nearly exactly the same, thr benefits to the hyper x are theyre super lightweight, dont clamp hard like the m50s do, are considerably cheaper and actually go on special for pretty cheap. Plus they have a mic.

stop reposting it leddit.

everyone knows he samefags, it's beyond obvious at this point

I just wonder what it's like to wake up, get on /hpg/, and be fucking angry constantly. Boggles the mind.

>t. triggered stax incel

HD 6xx or HD58X?

Does it mean that we have only one samefagging Stax incel itt?

Nice damage control, a real Einstein we got over here.

Samefagging stax incel, is that you?

when in doubt pick stax

Sure.

Objectively garbage

not sure about this thread but there's at least 5 regulars who actually own stax

Are they all samefagging incels or what?

these stax shills dont even own stax

and just one perpetually butthurt nostaxer

What do I do about the fact that I'm not used to the audio signature of my new headphones? I've moved from one good quality pair to another and it's reminding me a little of that '$20 chinkbuds to $80 halfway not awful IEMs' feeling.

What's wrong nostaxer? Keep posting. You WILL do as I say, because you are my bitch.

Why can't I tell the difference between "audiophile" headphones? The difference is minimal that these random charts make it seem like a world of difference.

What's your favorite Phone? Right now this HE-400 is kicking ass, swear to God.

that's not a HE-400

What do you do?

Never had that problem with sony 1000x's
alternatively, buy stax

They're all made in China. HE-4xx, admittedly. Can't get over it tho - the sound is GODLY. Stax w/Bass.

i dont go outside and if i do i wear the ear dildo

Use deep-penetrating Etymotic ear dildos, so that I literally cannot hear anything but the music.

they actually have no bass

>stax
stop trolling please

Did Samson change their drivers on the SR850s in the past few years? My old ones broke so I got a new pair and they sound a lot better than my old ones, maybe im just hearing things. I also added the foam disc from the old ones and some cotton wool under the pads to make them deeper so my ears dont touch the driver. That + some minor eq quelled the upper mids and opened up the sound.

The sound is pretty juicy, decent low end with the clear mids/highs. Why the fuck do people recommend Takstar Pro82? Other than being a closed set of cans and having somewhat decent bass, they are fucking garbage.

i will once you buy stax

why would I? they sound like shit

Why do people buy $1000+ headphones if there is barely a difference at all?

snake oil

Try some stax, they sound like heaven

Anyone tried out chinkfi sundara?

It's good, but that price point is dominated by stax.

Only if associate heaven with shit lol

Why do I have to be the one to point this out? HIFIMAN SUNDARAS WILL BREAK. HIFIMANS IN GENERAL BREAK BUT EVEN MORE SO WITH SUNDARAS AND 500s

STOP ASKING ABOUT HIFIMANS

I hope I resolved your question

But stax themselves are dominated by mid-fi dynamic headphone

They look pretty well built though, metal and all.

No sweaty. Sorry.

Ditching the thread, twice in a row. I'll be back when a beyer poster makes a thread.

The facts are not on your side, sweaty.

Ok ok I'm repenting for even considering chinkfi trash and will get Stax right away.

Well coming from DT 880s which I've loved for years now I'm sure I will. Thanks!

Nice user enjoy!

What's a good pair of headphones for using with gaming consoles?

ath-ad or akg for the soundstage meme or Stax if you can afford it.

I actually feel slightly miffed I didn't buy the OL DAC from JDS at the same time to save on the retarded shipping costs where I live but I figured since I was buying the Atom blind it was better to try one first and only get the other if the Atom impressed me. Getting an amp for the HD-6XX is a lot more high priority than a DAC at this point in time for me. I really hope the HD-6XX is as good as everyone says because if it its it'll replace my SINE as my standard listening headphones.

Stax are garbage for gaming, especially fps games.

tard.

zeos says they're great and i'm sure he knows more about headphones than you do

Stax are garbage overall.

When you get the 6xx make a review with a picture. I want to know if its a meme or not. If its a meme or not as impressive ill buy the akg712.

...

The study says stax are the best headphones ever made, what about it?

>t. triggered stax incel

Nuh-uh, I'm sure Zeos knows more than some silly paper.

Best headphones in the universe coming through.

Ear speakers are the highest fidelity solution even for gaming

I got a SDAC to go with it but I was too was looking at the ol dac as an option. The SDAC was just cheaper here in the US and regarded as a great day for the money. I'm sure the ol dac is just as good though since it's around the same price point

Whats with all these Stax(less) shills?
