My unbiased review of [massdrop made headphone]
>Bitches about cable for 10 minutes
>Loli porn on vertical monitor
>Talks about build for 10 minutes
These sound great. Great highs. Great lows. Great soundstage.
>Plays weeb shit music
These are better than [Highly regarded $1k+ headphone]
Be sure to pick one up on massdrop from the (affiliate) link in the description.

Stax incels on suicide watch

sennheiser incels taking massive Ls today, when will they suicide?

What's better for around $100, a bassy Sony MDR or AKG K-271 MKII?

Am I the only one who has all the Equalizer bands to the max?

Wow, this really explains why stax incels try so hard to shill their shitphones itt. Severe case of denial and post-purchase rationalization after they got scammed.

Will they finally top this in 2019?

>not even as neutral as HD650
There is no reason for this to exist. It's just a worst HD650.

>t. triggered stax incel

So a better driver matched HD600? Cool.

HD600 has matched drivers.

I have planars asshat

Wrong. HD600 have awful channel matching.

Hey /hpg/ I ordered a HD600 and the right side is much louder than the left, is this normal? I plugged it into like 5 different devices.

yes because they don't match drivers

Wrong. HD600 is the gold standard for headphone fidelity and it features handpicked drives matched within 1dB.

Shit that sucks. Guess I'll order a HD650. They sounded more neutral too at the store but I didn't want to pay more.

Is FiiO E10K worth the price? I have DT770.

Obvious samefag is obvious.

For anyone wanting to read this paper it's on the /hpg/ wiki. STAX are overrated garbage.

Are they at least channel matched? Still can't believe sennheiser would let their headphones ship out with massive channel imbalances.

How is this allowed?

wait wtf all your guys talk about driver matching is getting me paranoid about my hd600
im hearing all the voices shifted to the left now what the hell

Looks like they're within 1~0.5db so yes, that's a very good matching. You can always get a dud though but beyer's QC is usually top notch.

Welcome to audiofool hell, enjoy the constant paranoia, delusions and chasing placebos.

Hey guys I'm finding a bunch of Marvo/Scorpion-themed 8000-9000+ gamer headphones for just 7$ each.
They're heavy and hurt my ears after 2 hours, but the sound is decent, the surround is good and the microphone is great for an incorporated one.

Can I potentially convince someone to trade me a great pair of professional headphones for like 7 or 10 of these gamer headphones? They're satisfying, but not lightweight and crystal clear sounding enough for me.

Step aside poor people.

should i get these? what do i do about my imbalanced hd600s

That treble looks like pure dogshit lmao.

My ears hurt just looking at that.

i almost forgot about you yggyposter

I've heard they are even worse than stax lol

uh id give you my imbalanced hd600 but i don't want crappy gamer headphones

post pic and timestamp of your hd600s

like i said i don't want ur gamer headphones

not him, post pic and timestamp of your hd600s
i call bs on your imbalanced hd600 story

wtf i don't care if you believe me or not i just want to fix this if possible

>tfw own HD598
>theres fucking nothing thats better in every regard except the HD800s

>all of them either has shit soundstage or imaging, or some fucky spikes.

fuck this gay earth

Attached: 2196496.png (195x200, 40K)

Not meming but i actually had that problem with one pair. i sent them back (praise be to Amazon) and got a new one, that thankfully didn't have this problem. but still, it happened. I like the 58x more though. Btw what's the best portable dac/amp that can drive the hd600? I'd like to listen to them on my bed.

800 has fucky spikes too

most headphones don't match drivers

ill try calling amazon and see if they will let me do a return, its past the 30 days though

how did it take you more than 30 days to notice one side being much louder?

its not that one side is louder its that voices are just slightly to one side
i didnt even notice until you guys started shitposting about it

I don't know the return policy rules of your country but it should count as a warranty case anyway and those should count for at least 6 months.

Or

Which one's offer better quality of sound for hip hop and indie listening?

Sony, that's what they always have done best

that sounds like a problem with the mixing in the music you listen to more than the headphones, this site has a driver matching sweep you can listen to though to make sure
audiocheck.net/soundtests_headphones.php

Ill check some more my once i give my ears some time to rest, maybe ill be able to live with it

i said HD800s though

My little bro wants HD800 for GAYMIN the fuck? Is it even recommended?

if it's just vocals and they sound like they're primarily coming from the right channel rather than being centered that's a very common thing

Yes, the HD800s. If you're talking about the HD800S it has the spike too, just smaller.

a very common thing in music*

Less so however.
Regardless the cost is insane.

I love jerking off to kpop videos with my hd600

>kpop videos
b-but why not feet?

Because kpop girls are cute and their outfits get me rock hard

>HD600 owners are degenerates
Surprise surprise

jerking off to plastic sounds pretty weird

>Be sure to pick one up on massdrop from the (affiliate) link in the description.
Except he never says that, he only says "these will be sold out by the time you watch this on Youtube".

Why the hate for AKG?

they're mad akg rates better in blind tests than stax LOL

nobody hates on AKG they're our precious sissyposters

I don't hate akg I was just wishing the literal skirt wearing akg fag a merry staxmas

...

memes aside I really like my akgs for gaming. they make for a real immersive experience

No.
Ok.

I'm looking for a new pair of IEM's that will almost 100% be used for my phone. My budget is a firm $50 Canadian fun bucks.

A neutral sound signature is what I'm after, and as for comfort, I don't want it to feel like I am shoving lego into my ear at the very least.

All of my past IEMs have been the default ones that come with phones, shitty convenience store level IEMs, or semi-cheap, no name ones from places like best buy or The Source.

The things that I liked from the good ones I had were: solid build quality and a good sound that didn't sound like I was listening to coke cans. I don't want wireless and I prefer round cables over thin/flat cables, but that is something I can get over

Samsung EO-IG955 is one of the best products on the market, regardless of the price. Oratorty1990 has eq settings to correct them to Harman IE target, including settings for standard Android equalizers.

Mid-fi killer.
