HD600

anyone here into turntables? I've been reading up a bit on some beginner stuff but if they're anything like normie headphone guides(m50x) I should probably stay away

what would be a nice set of gear for say $200 or less
or more?

R8 my purchases:

-HD6xx
-JDS Atom
-OL DAC

HD558, mee audio m6 pro

I will mainly be using these for gaming and music, thanks in advance. I'm open to iems as well.

you forgot your anime pillow you fucking idoltrash

Solid investment, you probably wont need to upgrade in years. I have similar setup: HD6XX, Magni 3, (waiting, fucking chinks)Topping D10

very comfy user
hd598, beyer dt770 pro

haafee beryllium or massdrop hd58x

anyone here have the hd58x and can compare it to the hd600?

For just $100 more you can get the m1060c

Less shouty, more grainy, better bass extension, worse detail

The HD600 sounds like muddy shit, definitely stick with the 58X

The Audio Technica LP-60 is the only player in that price range I could recommend.
Anything else below $200 will either sound shit, damage your vinyl or both.

nice pic, I was close to getting the magni but I read the atom is has more price performance. The magni is much sexier though

Garbage

What would you recommend? And don't say Stax.

Any mid-fi or lo-fi headphone that isn't the HD600.

Sounds like a case of DT880 or DT1990

redpill me on chifi sundara

Chinkfiman build is awful, right behind sennheiser with snapping headbands and popped drivers.

gas yourself for even mentioning it

I got the Magni 3 about 2 weeks before Atom was announced...I would have gotten the atom instead. So far Magni works good

aesthetic

snapping headbands in senns have been resolved long ago

Wrong

>I would have gotten the atom instead
you should have listened when we told you not to buy schiit because they are a garbage company

Oh god I love non driver matched assphones

What are my options?

Wrong.

so 1990 is the best midfi option?

it's endgame, better than stax or the hd600

I WANT MY SAVINGS BACK AMIR

My Sennheiser HD215s feel a bit low in noise even when cranked up at max. Plugging it into the PC, the audio tears up when going to maximum volume. What is going on?

Attached: preview.jpg (1200x1200, 99K)

HD600 is complete garbage, even portapros are better.

Guys i wanted to buy the Magni 3 but there seems to be a stigma against them. What other 99$ amp exist that can run the hd650, that can be bought in Europe, because schiit has a dedicated Europe store.

how does that refute my post?

I have tried a bunch of < 700$ headphones any none impressed me, they all sounded pretty veiled and the only difference was niggerbass vs piercing treble.
Are there any headphones that actually sound alive and make you feel alive for once too? Basically a boosted midrange or something like that.

not that good but,
logitech H540. these were absolute garbage, they hurt after less than an hour and had no bass at all.
Hyperx Stinger. these were a great upgrade over the last ones. they sound way better, but they kinda broke a bit overtime and now they sound about the same as the h540s but with added comfort.

JRIVER MEDIA CENTRE.

i have 5tb of hi-res library and nothing comes close to managing it. Best file format converter too IMHO i use it to go from 6ch DSD -> 2ch DSD and converting a fuck tonne of wavepack my DAP does not support.

Also I paid $40 for the native linux port. Best player on linux too.

Sennheiser game one: uncomfortable to wear with glasses after a few hours
Sony XB950B1: my go to bass headphones, nothing really bad to say about them
Fanny Wang 2000: treble too high
Sol Republic v10

I tried m50x and they are UNCOMFY as hell. The headband feels like a plastic piece of garbage resting on your head. Why don't they use VELOUR?

Sound was meh to me.

Based and checked

convince me to not buy 1990 right the fuck now

It's the best headphone period, just buy it.

he4xx is better

Who watching VGA now?

listened to 400i and sundara and bouth sounded like nothing

me, whatching Jow Forums trough a vga monitor.
wtf is VGA?

>sounded like nothing
wtf this mean?

muddy and boring

are there any decent wireless headphones with really low latency? (i.e 2.4ghz with a receiver)
