LOL, Stax shitphones are literally audiophool garbage

Why buy Beyer headphones when all they do is cut off blood flow to your brain and destroy your hearing with extreme treble?

so you can heil hitler and eradicate minorities with your treble cannons

JDS ships pretty fast so I'm sure you'll have it in no time.

mine should arrive tomorrow

It's my local shipping that's fucking slow. It arrived in my country 2 days ago and they still haven't mailed it to my doorstep.

Idol trash here. What's your setup like, user?
I somehow ended up walking to akiba from tokyo today. So, I went into yodobashi and saw some crazy dude in the STAX section. He was listening to love live songs and took a long time, I could hear them from meters away, and it was kinda shameful.
After he was done, I had a chat with him:
- It's hard to test shit in a loud store like that. The somewhat high volume was to compensate for that, but these cans likely sound much better at home in silence at a low volume.
- L300 and L700 sound kinda unimpressive at first, but they're detailed as fuck, esp. the L700, and they sound better as you listen longer.
- L500 sounds better than L300 immediately, but after a short while they're kinda meh.
- SR-009S sounded very similar to HD600 (he says it's his main idolphones) but very, very, very wrong after just a minute or two. It's as if everything fucking rings and blurs.
- According to him, HD600 are much better value than any STAX, but he says that once he moves to Japan (he apparently has such plans) he'll probably get L700 at some point, just because he can.
Turns out he works on some aws cloud shit. He was a cool guy, really.

>and it's only priced €20 which is 1/25 price of 1990 and 1/15 price of hd600.

>- According to him, HD600 are much better value than any STAX
Nah, superluxes are far much better value than any phones.

Beyerdynamic Custom One Pros, they were okay, ended up lost in a stressful move.
Tin Audio T2, really like the sound signature on these since it let's me cruise from string quartets to modern pop garbage and both sound nice. Wife washed these so I have an opportunity to get some new headphones.

Bose QC35 or sony wh1000xm3

stax

I can't in good faith recommend qc35s because their sound is so terrible, but if you really want good ANC (which is the one thing they do well) I could sell mine to you for a reasonable price.

STAX are nothing special, they have their unique house sound and that's it.

They have good FR, extremely low distortion and decay is super fast.
Fact.

cringe

>good FR
No, the sealing is inconsistent, and the response past 1kHz is a rollercoaster.
>extremely low distortion
Yes, but it doesn't matter because you don't hear the distortion on most quality dynamic headphones.
>Decay
Nice buzzword.

Never seen a decay plot?

me on the right

Would going from 250 ohm DT 990 Pro's to DT 1990 Pro's be a noticeable upgrade? They're both 250 ohm so I'm sure my Dragonfly Black could run them

And they still sound worse than average dynamic headphones
Fact.

They are almost the same headphones, none is better than another.

Based idoltrash.
Going to any lives?

cringe

So I'm upgrading from my noise canceling audio technica.
I bought:
Dt880 600ohm (not the chrome one)
Topping d10
JDS labs atom
Samson go mic
Howd I do? Everything will be here by Saturday I'm so excited

I'm not a fan of Beyerdynamic's house sound but they're okay. Shouldn't have bought the super high impedance model, if you hadn't, the amplifier would have been unnecessary. The DAC is likely useless

I can't wait until your click-chink blows up your headphones you dumb redditors lmfao

Attached: 1526619664074.gif (234x320, 2.58M)

This is literally the behavior of every stax shitposter on /hpg/

Why do they sound so much better than every dynamic out there?

Attached: L300d4.jpg (1500x1500, 268K)

That's a fine start, i bit of overkill with the 600ohms and dac, but still, quite nice.

Hol' up

Chrome is ugly.
Multiple sources say the 600o version is the best version and all the frequency response I found were of the 600ohm model.
My computer sounds like shit compared to my phone and could only power my friends dt990 250 on absolute max volume and again sounded like shit compared to his amp(magni I think)

!ClICK!

tfw topping makes 1 product that clicks and suddenly everything they've ever made clicks
tfw i have that clicking product ;-;

are truly Gods GIFT
