You did ok.

I bought used hd 600 for 190 and the drivers are black. How BLACKED am i?

i dunno user go look up reviews of the black version vs silver version which is the current revision of them.

What are some of THE best closed headphones in world?

Attached: 1508357344939.gif (529x720, 296K)

I never look at closed user. Maybe HD 820 not sure.

Attached: 10077505.jpg (1632x918, 276K)

But 1990 is better.

>Maybe HD 820 not sure.
please stop talking about headphones without even taking a cursory glance about them

I'm afraid that they are so old, that the driver could fail any second or worse *snap* since it is one of the old versions that actually have that problem.

the hd600 and 650 are completely modular and sennheiser sells replacements of every piece

HE500 is my favorite headphone
HD660S is good too though!

>HD660S is good too though!
no it's not

Yeah yeah, emerald dickwaving. What about the Fostex powered Denons though? D5200, D720.. Innerfidelity say they're not quite comparing to the older D5000, but they've been highly praised at other times. Really don't know what to think.

Also these things are eyesex, but I'm not sure I can afford them anytime soon (or rather I could but I'd have a hard time justifying spending that kinda money on headphones anyway).

You're wrong though, they sound very nice. I like the way she sounds on them in particular.

Attached: 4ac8-6368-429f-a211-d56d3012d75c.jpg (600x600, 46K)

I tried Sundara and it's mediocre as fuck. Avoid chinkfiman anons.

the he400, he500, and he6 were actually good though

That's a totally different headphone, it's not just an HE500 replacement. It only uses single sided magnets so it's more similar to the HE400i. I doubt the sundara is worth a shit, especially not at $500. Anada too.
Only thing out of them recently that's half interesting is the Arya. Anada is just a HEX but the arya is a cheaper HE1000 basically.

>You're wrong though, they sound very nice
would they be good headphones if they costed $50,000? no, they would be terrible $50,000 headphones. hd660S are shit because they cost so much. hd58Xs sound nearly the same after mods and are great.

I wish you fags who fell for the hd660S meme train would stop cope posting about them

I think after I get my GPU straightened out I'll downsize to just an HE500 and SRS-3100 system. Maybe keep my 6xx or 660s too but no more than 3 heapdhones. 3 is the absolute maximal amount of autism that is tolerable.
I was going to get the HE6 but I've seen a ton of people that have bought them as a HE500 upgrade but end up selling them and keeping the 500. Buying a new amp would be gay too.
I really want to hear them though.
I got them for free though

>would they be good headphones if they costed $50,000?
what the fuck kind of retarded point are you even trying to make? no headphone is good value at $50,000 even the orpheous, your post would be so much better without this stupid question

>I got them for free though
so you are not coping you are just biased as fuck towards them like when reviews get free shit. shut up about the hd660S.

anyone here tried wicked cushions' cushions?
just bought a pair for my m50's

you are so low IQ it hurts. would you rather I have said $1000 instead of $50,000? what about $800? $700? the point is still the same it's just more obvious at more extreme price differentials

>they can't be good because you got them for free, you should have gotten the 58x for free and modded it instead
holy shit just stop posting

You are too personally invested.
The HD660S sounds wonderful, certainly better than the 6XX. Doesn't the 58X not even use the same size driver?
HD650 and 600 are going to be discontinued soon so we can all talk about the HD660S even more then.
Also I never said they were a good value, just that I like them and that Christina Novelli sounds like an angel caressing your brain on them.

looks like a fucking man, just look at that jaw, the voice is manly too
higher test than any hd 600/stax idol trash

god damn you really are low IQ
your opinions are worthless. everyone likes free things. I'm sure the hd660S sounds great. it doesn't however sound as great as other $600 headphones or similar priced headphones. meanwhile the hd600 crushes its price bracket. the hd600 is not discontinued either. the hd58x and hd6xx still exist as well

>hd600
objectively garbage and worse than portapros

you don't have a point because they're $500, you can't just say "oh well they would be such bad value if they cost 50 times as much as they do" because they literally do not in any world or are you actually pretending you would buy any headphone if it was $50,000?

lmao why the fuck would anyone buy 660s over 1990?

Quick help me:
Bose QuietComfort 35 II
OR
Sony WH-1000MX3
I can't decide

>you don't have a point because they're $500
you stupid fuck. they are marginally different than the hd600 and NOT EVEN BETTER than the hd600 yet cost twice as much. they are not a good value proposition and they are not worth buying over other headphones that cost the same (or cheaper) so please tell me why you should buy an hd660s

I'm not trying to fuck her user I just like her voice. I'm a big fan of many of the vocalists you find in trance songs. If you hate her maybe you would prefer Sarah Howells or Emma Hewitt? HALIENE sounds nice on some tracks too I suppose.
nigger I have never once told someone to buy the HD660S in my life. I only answer help requests when they are directly mentioning a headphone I own which almost never happens because HE500 is long gone and LCD2C has replaced the LCD2.
Look elsewhere, I am not your enemy.

Attached: AOTY.jpg (2560x1440, 795K)

i have LITERALLY never said anything about buying an hd660s over anything at ANY point, i'm only telling you that your "they're bad value if you paid fifty fucking thousand dollars for a $500 headphone"argument is beyond retarded

>nigger I have never once told someone to buy the HD660S in my life
if saying they are good is not a recommendation to buy it then what is it? it's just a worthless opinion if it's not, here let me join in with you if we're doing that: the orpheus is a good headphone. wait, I have another opinion. the orpheus is indeed a headphone. tube amps look cool.
>i'm only telling you that your "they're bad value if you paid fifty fucking thousand dollars for a $500 headphone"argument is beyond retarded
reading comprehension issues at this point, come back when you can understand the argument presented

yes please kiss me.

these are your exact words

Can we get back to staxposting and shitting on nigger dick lovers?

Yes that's right! It was a passing shit post as is standard at the start of a thread. What is wrong with you? like i said you are too personally invested in your hatred of certain headphones.
As we can see right here there are many examples in this thread alone.

sorry what why are you quoting some of my posts

any tutorials on repairing sennheiser headphones, tried but the thing keeps breaking..

here's how you paraphrased me
>"they're bad value if you paid fifty fucking thousand dollars for a $500 headphone"
here's what I said
>would they be good headphones if they costed $50,000? no, they would be terrible $50,000 headphones
this would imply that they were never priced at $500. sennheiser instead decided to release them at an MSRP of $50,000. no one decides how much sennheiser prices their headphone but sennheiser. in this hypothetical scenario sennheiser releases it for $50,000.

did that help you understand better? I understand you are low IQ but I'll try my best to talk to you like a child

I was using them as an example of what an exceptionally high quality posting on 4channel looks like.
Good job user, you're poster of the day.

Stop quoting me you niggerdick gobbler.

sorry but this isn't an argument

I got a free pair of beats solo3, unopened.
I know these are basically meme headphones so I'm going to sell for $130 or so, what's a good pair for that price range?

thanks, you too

damn man you sure are right
it was actually agreeing with this part of that previous post
> it's just a worthless opinion if it's not, here let me join in with you if we're doing that: the orpheus is a good headphone.
in reference to this post Do you understand?

also I feel like I should mention why it's not an argument because you are literally stupid. notice how I said nothing about the he500. not a peep towards the he500. it's a worthy headphone of shitposting even if you buy one the cups will fall off. hd660 is garbage with no redeeming qualities over it's cheaper competition and should treated as such

>this would imply that they were never priced at $500. sennheiser instead decided to release them at an MSRP of $50,000. no one decides how much sennheiser prices their headphone but sennheiser. in this hypothetical scenario sennheiser releases it for $50,000.
cool let's take the hypothetical scenario of stax now cost $1,000,000,000 are they good $1,000,000,000 headphones? no you wouldn't think they are you stupid fucking troglodyte, the hd660s is not a $50,000 headphone, it is a $500 headphone what the fuck does a hypothetical scenario of them costing literally 100x they're actual price have to do with anything about anything

Return them back, Jamal.

im not going to even bother reading your posts at this point because you failed basic reading comprehension once.

They're $400 now :)

who the fuck are you and why are you quoting me

I own a 6XX so I might just be trying to cope but there's no way you can tell the difference between those two, ignoring the price

Got my Takstar Pro 82s on Friday, thanks to whichever user recommended them.

Pros:
+ Incredibly comfortable, great seal (and therefore bass)
+ Excellent sound quality
+ Removable cable
+ Bass boost notches
+ Ridiculously nice carrying case
+ Value

Cons:
- Unsure about build quality. They sit very solidly on my head, but if I remove them and turn the cans a little/generally mess with them, the joints are somewhat creaky and rattly. That might just be loose manufacturing tolerance, or might be a sign they'll snap apart in 6 months. Only time will tell.
- I wish I'd received the one with the longer cable (you can't choose). At least I could replace it if I wanted

My previous headphones were HD201s so these are a definite step up. Very glad I bought them overall. AMA if you're a cheapskate pleb like me and considering them.

Attached: pro82.jpg (425x425, 15K)

$200 more than they are worth

Why?

at least they $49,500 less than what sennheiser might have charged for it!

which 82s did you receive? the black? silver? I have been hesitant to recommend them because some models sound different and I don't know if that zishan user is just a retard or if the other model sounds bad

why did you quote me?
modi 2/magni 3 no mods or anything, don't know of any ones worth doing for either headphone.
it is not a massive difference like going from a dt990 to an lcd2, but there is a difference and so I rarely use the HD6XX. Keeps the 6xx as new as possible

>cool let's take the hypothetical scenario of stax now cost $1,000,000,000 are they good $1,000,000,000 headphones
I actually brushed off your post because I assumed you would have had reading comprehension problems but I gave you the benefit of the doubt and wow. I gotta say I shouldn't have bothered. I said they RELEASED THEM at $50,000. I did not say they released them at $500 and then decided to price them at $50,000. moronic. why is it so difficult for you to process basic concepts? how did you make it past elementary school without repeating years?

I ordered (and received) black ones, but I'm not sure if the colour actually matters (I think the old and new versions are both available in each colour).
Apparently having the shorter cable implies I have the newer version, but I can't check which drivers I have without disassembling them.

>I said they RELEASED THEM at $50,000
hey so did stax, they released the l700 for $1,000,000,000 in 2015, do you want to buy them?

nope but if they released them for twice or three times as much I would consider it a poor purchase and would rather go for an srs-3100

that headphone will go well with this room

hd600 and paint it pink

what the fuck is wrong with your camera

because you quoted me and i have no idea why

it's a panorama you idiot

The old revision came in a white box and the new one comes in black packaging, from what I have read it's mostly a reduction in the 5khz treble. I don't know how the new ones sound like because my pair is like a year and a half old by now.

Mine were a white box. I haven't noticed any issues with treble, but I might not be informed enough to know what to listen for.
