Custom One Pro, the headband on the haafee is exactly the kind that slowly gets worn and you can't replace it later.

$4000 SR-009 was rated lower in blind tests than a $200 K701

LOL, Stax shitphones are literally audiophool garbage

Stax incels on suicide watch

>There are few qc issues and there is entire click fiasco.
But if I do order it wouldn't they have issues returning it since it is chink? I mean I'm from US and wouldn't I have to pay shipping back all the way there just to fix it? Maybe I might just got with JDS labs atoms.

Where are the feet?

Custom one pros are an amazing headphone, happier with them every day I use em
they just sound so good, look nice, feel robust, are comfy
I can give a little conprehensive review if anyones interested but I can wholeheartedly reccomend them for pretty much any music as nothing sounds off on them, and a lot of stuff sound really good

haafee just cause im curious

Someone from asr got another unit when he reported its faulty, but possibly. Buying chinkshit is always a bit more risky.

yahoo stax winning bids:
SRS-2050 $269
SRS-3170 $375
SRM-323S no bids, listed at $61

thats nice but it ain no staxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

stax are garbage, i wouldn't even use it even if it was free

Stax are objectively garbage

White dick is objectively garbage when compared against a juicy black donger

JDS labs at least offers shipping for free if anything is wrong. Bluetooth + LCD or jds labs atom... hard.

Does any other Amp or dac offer bluetooth?

Nice. Why is it so hard for entryist companies to produce estats when people make superb DIY efforts by themselves?

blyat

this is the real reason why hd600s > stax, they give you more money to spend on speakers

but the best speakers are JBL 305p's which are only $200

Why are Canadians always the worst posters?

*hiss*

That's only a problem with a LSR305.

tfw i have some old infinity ss2003s i driver swapped and they sound better than my 305s

Because you enjoy colored sound. That's fine, absolute fidelity and perfect accuracy aren't for everyone.

my k7xx and my special items arrive tues im so excited

the lsr305s would just hiss too much lol
you can call it accurate all you want but hearing white noise over all my tracks got pretty infuriating after a while

The 305p don't hiss.

could grab a pair then, but the infinities sound just as good and work well with my receiver

>The 305p don't hiss.
Holy shit, really? I used to have lsr305 which I returned because of hiss.

BUY SPEAKERS THAT DON'T HISS THEN

ye i ended up selling mine and used the cash to buy a receiver lol
never going back to powered monitors. it's been such an issue with every one i've bought that i don't trust them anymore and i'd rather just get better components in a passive speaker.

I set up some 306ps for a friend and they don't hiss at all.

i gotta admit i don't trust that statement
i've been through a few pairs of powered monitors and every single one of them has a hiss, either greater or lesser extent than the 305s.

Don't trust it then. You can spend $10,000 on audiophool garbage that sounds worse than $200 powered monitors like certain other posters.

>блять

i paid like 30 bucks for new drivers lol
cabinets are free if you know where to look

legit though for speakers especially you can really get into some audiophool shit.
most speakers are more than adequate with some cheap component swaps. it's more about the cabinets than the drivers.

>the absolute state of speakerpoorfags

ive owned 300 dollar speakers before lol, they're not anything special.
plus the speakers i have cost a fuckton back in the day, just you can get them for cheap now.

>ive spent 300 dollars before guize I'm totally not a poorfag
I see why you shill the HD600 now

Attached: 1529683921315.jpg (399x385, 29K)

i think the biggest scam is buying powered monitors that use cheap components better bought separately and your buyer's remorse tells you you spent 200 dollars well. that's the best part of audiophools is when they don't know they're being fooled.

hd600 is great tho >.>
only thing i'd really consider is dt1990 but a sidegrade is a nice waste of money.
also what's wrong with 300 dollar speakers >.>
or are you implying the higher up you go the better they sound like a total moron lmfao

Might want to tell that to your fellow speaker shills.

headphone brainlet here
are wireless headphones a thing these days or do they still suck?

Please update me when you kill yourself, it will bring me great enjoyment.

they still suck

tfw audiophool can't use actual arguments to defend his 15000 dollar towers that basically just get really loud

blue tooth is still homosexual

Do we link IEMg in the OP? Those faggots don't link back to us.
Or should we just remove the info about IEMg?

My first time getting Jow Forums recommended headphones, so up to this point it's been shitphones.

I was considering getting the closed back Sennheiser HD598SR though I'm not sure if the closed back is worth the price.

Attached: DY0AtjdXcAEwjxL.jpg (782x960, 84K)

598s would be good

sapphire, iris, who else is a leaf?

Attached: 1515033137565.jpg (340x565, 46K)

Does the open/closed back really have much of a difference?

Also, any other recommendations?
>obligatory terrypost

Attached: flat800x800070f1.jpg (800x600, 154K)

for 130? i mean the 598sr are great idk why i would recommend anything else
closed won't leak sound from your phone while you're walking to the store

canucklehead but he was based

massdrop hd58x
>598s would be good
lick my nutz

well sure but was he sapphire or was he iris? that's the real question

stax

neither, he was the only good canadian

Objectively garbage

nigger dick

kill yourself

So what are the important differences between HD58x and the HD598s? Reading reviews, apparantly HD58x is bassy? Is that true?

What are the pros and cons?

Attached: 1543892692039.png (743x418, 282K)

pros: none
cons: it’s not stax

you can convert the hd58x into an hd660S with a mod

Does this involve some sort of autistic DAC magic? I'm plugging this shit into my phone.

pros: they're objectively better than stax
cons: you'll trigger stax incels
