Reposting from previous thread.
Can someone enlighten me on output modes? I got DX3 and it has amp, amp+line out, DAC and pre-amplifier modes. Which is the one that combines amp and DAC?

What makes them better then a ATH-M50X lad?

Redpill me on "preamp", what does it do and when do you need to use it? Is it for speakers or headphones?

Not him but ath m50 is not comfortable after like 2 hours. I personally would go open headphones. Maybe the akg612 if you can budget it?

preamps aren't really relevant to headphones but for speakers you have an amplifier that feeds a signals. power amps are the ones usually without volume control and just amplifies the signal with the same multiplier no matter what, so you use a preamp to control the level of the signal before amplification. basically it's a glorified volume knob.

>have an amplifier that feeds a signal
receives a signal and then feeds it I mean

I mean they come out cheaper then the DT 770 pro, just unsure which to pick.

AKG STRONG

>check amazonUK
>it doesn't even have akg612 or akg702, but k701 and k712
>k712 in UK is like 100 dollars cheaper than in amazonUS

Weird

Mate I'm watching it now, but some point by points would be grand

Some brands are cheaper in one place, other brands are cheaper in another place. Europe gets good deals on basically all AKGs, most Beyerdynamics and then some particular other headphone models, a lot of headphone brands like Sennheiser are similarly priced in Europe and the US in the first place, in return Europe gets shafted on most Audio-Technicas and generally on Hifimans and Grados.

I really want to try those but there's a lot of reports of the drivers shitting themselves within the year

where?

Snap
Hiss
Click
Boom

What headphones do I get if I'm a cross dressing sissy

stax or get dt1990 to change your degenerate ways

sennheiser. you better post pics of your feet you fag

does sennheiser sell replacement parts for that h60? i want to puy my 650 drivers in that housing

they did but they might not still be doing it, you could ask their support if you really want

I hate wires, what's the best wireless earbud/headphones to get in your opinion?

>Which is the one that combines amp and DAC?
Amp+line-out

yeah listening to sr009 through k701s.... a bit different and misleading to what you are saying

sony wh-1000xm3

Anyone here Jow Forums? I'm looking for a cheap decent pair of wireless headphone to use for running and information is hard to find

I really like Sony 1000X (noise canceling ones), they are good for frequent air and train trips.
XM3 (third generation) is the best. I own first one, and it's good as well.
But I still use them in wired mode, because with Bluetooth there is small audio dropout (1-2 seconds) every 10 minutes. No idea what causes it.

you are probably better wearing earbuds than headphones and asking /csg/ desu

What should I engrave on my JDS OLDAC?

found my dad's old sennheiser hd 535, is it any good? or just old trash?

Just pulled the trigger on 1990, hope they don't disappoint.

let me know how they sound, thought about getting them myself.

Let me know if it has good soundstage and how the treble is on it.

I will send you a text guys

What other headphones do you have to compare them to?

Should I buy a nfb 11.28 for my he400i? I currently don't have an amp or dac.

OwO that's this?

Congrats on the purchase user.

You get the $250 deal?

What's the Casio F-91W of headphones?

portapro

every time i see one of these hideous things i'm happy i bought a 650 instead

Monoprice 8323

i bought it on the offical site for 240 + tax with the employee perk meme

Are these retarded designed on purpose?

The Amazon deal was slightly better with the 10% back but eh that's pretty decent. For shitphones that is.

Attached: 1525916738007.gif (554x400, 45K)

i think they look good my friend

they were made in the 80s

hd650 comes in a similar box and design, what are you smoking

portapros have shit build quality tho.

yeah but they don't look like my kitchen counter

they're built better than the hd600 at lwast

they look more like they were designed in late 90s honestly
and that means they look like absolute shit

Looks good on picture. I'm gonna read reviews for these. thanks

they still came out in the early 80s though

It's spartan camoflage. Don't hate because your hd650 is in negro.

What is the headphone equivalent of this?

Attached: image.jpg (1080x538, 385K)

It takes some time to get used to, but it's an unique headphone to say the least. You're just an uncultured pleb.

It's not like you'll want to go outside with them. The HD 600 was disappointing to me. Tell us what you think I guess.

ad700x or DT990 for fps gaming?

stax

akg 702

Ad700x is praised for soundstage, but it looks stupid.

If you already have a decent amp and you live in europe i'd get used k712pro's IF you can get them below €120.

I don't think you can go wrong with either but I'm getting the DT 990 early january so I'll give my review of them then.

Well Uhhh i wish this thing and my Stepdown transformer would get here already

Attached: 006t.png (712x282, 10K)

Man this atom is pretty nice

shouldn't be that long. when my stax shipped from osaka it was already in the states 2 days later

why early January?

Massdrop just had a DT 990 premium limited edition drop a day or two ago. I heard the premium and black version are more comfy so I just settled with that since I couldn't find them for the same price anywhere else.

Well I bought an amp using Yahoo auctions i paid for EMS but the Stepdown Transformer is expected anywhere from dec 18 to jan 4

>accurate
>realistic
>light
i keked

if you got sal during the holidays then expect it to be later rather than sooner

fuck off cunt i could fold u in half
portapros are the sickest and whatever the fuck u listen on sucks

To those of you waiting on birds, the first disk came in today.
Ironically it's the one you already have so you gotta wait a bit.
