Looks like a T50RP.

why the fuck are you ass hats recommending headphones for bass. If you want bass IEMs deliver more bass at a fraction of the price.

My AU 50 dollar Revonext QT2 have the best sub-bass i have ever heard next to a real subwoofer. Been loving the fucking shit of them and havent even needed to touch an EQ

yeah, some cheap ass iems do better bass than a fullsize planar that rumble on your skull, sure.

I don't like putting shit into my ears

also in other news i sold my piece of shit meme Takstar Pro 82 for cost + $50 dollar profit Thank You Pretty Box.

Was gonna throw that money into BGVP DM6 but they are No where to be found. Welp i missed the meme train. I hope they come back soon.

its funny i dont like putting shit over my ears particularly in a warmer climate ew. Is that what full size headphones really are ? ear warmers for snow niggas ?

redpill me on semitism in the audiophile industry

dt1990 or sennheisers? 600 € range

the founder of head-fi and infamous shill is literally called jude (jew in german)

used l300

dt 1990 obviously

Just bought Sennheiser HD579 and I want to use my HM5 pads on these. The stock plastic rings go inside of the ear pads, but it won't stick into the ear cups. I've look online and there are ring adapters for this, should I get them? For now I've just brute forced it by wrapping the "lips" of the pad around the ear cups, but it looks ugly af.

What is that on the top of headband?

Or just ask your grandma to knit one.

wtf does it even do besides cover the headband?

Increases plankton and sparkle without reducing speed.

>mfw I find out both my old amp (which i replaced as I was already suspecting it) AND my old dt880s had channel imbalance
And both favoring the left ear too. At least now I know I'm not insane or have a permanently blocked up right ear.

what amp?

inb4 schiit magni

Old lake people g93. I already got a partial refund from the seller since I wasn't 100% sure it was the amp even after testing, but I should have pushed harder for a full return. It's VERY subtle though, most of the problem came from the headphones.
On another note, does anyone have links to a good and cheap usb A/B cable with ferrite chokes? Monoprice doesn't seem to sell one and a 6ft. is $6.13 on ebay and I think I can do better than that.

Nvm, same cable is $5.34 on amazon and that's close enough for me.

*sniffs headband cover* nice pungent smell

How did you find channel imbalance? I'm super suspicious that my headphones have channel imbalance as well.

A/B testing with a source/equipment you trust is definitely the way to go. If you don't have a separate setup available and the imbalance isn't obvious just by listening, you'll need to do exhaustive testing through cable/ear switching (recording this data is important if you don't want to lose track!)
Also funnily enough I went into the dt880s for a quick cleanup on the right driver and this reduced the imbalance by a lot. Maybe I can actually fix them completely with some patience.

what the fuck is idol trash doing in japan right now. you'd half expect him to be doing his gay usual blog posting

I keep suspecting that my right channel is louder than my left but every time I open the audio file in audacity it really turns out that the sound I think is imbalanced is actually mixed to the right. It's making me think I'm losing my sanity.

Yeah, perceived imbalance is a bitch and an even bigger bother when it turns out to be real because shit is breaking. I do suggest you try some testing if you can, if only to give your soul peace

EQ APO + Peace has a button you can click to instantly reverse channels. Soothes the autism a bit.

gay. audio is more important

did I do alright?

They just sound bad

>SHENZHEN, Dec 09, 2011 (SinoCast Daily Business Beat via COMTEX) -- Edifier Technology Co., Ltd. (SZSE: 002351) on December 9 announced the acquisition of a 100% equity in Japan-based STAX in cash.
>The transaction value is JPY 120 million, i.e. CNY 9.7693 million, at the exchange rate of JPY 100 for CNY 8.1411 on December 6
120m yen = 1m dollarydoos, LMAO

>bought STAX 7 years ago
>still no cheap chink electrostats
Is it because they sound so bad it wouldn't be worth making them?

idk it'd be hard to make electrostats sound as bad as something like the HD600

stax did it though??

all the r&d in the world couldn't do it sadly

stax headphone have high voltage and use 150,000 ohms (not a typo)

>HD600
Objectively garbage.

chinked.

What happen when the time ends on Massdrop?

the drop closes

honestly idk i keep seeing the HD58x and hd6xx timer reset every 24hr. I think its clickbait so you feel in a rush to buy it when its not really doing anything.

Theyre just trying to make you waste your money on them instead of glorious Stax

guys i found stax iem in the trash!

anyone know where i can buy cables and a energiser for it?

those are just regular products for massdrop, but they haven't updated their site to sell things normally
