>>Best electrostatic Stax headphones sound worse than average dynamic "mid-fi" cans
>>
>>$4000 SR-009 was rated lower in blind tests than a $200 K701
>>aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm?elib=17441

So why people buy Stax if their best model sounds worse than cheap AKGs?

>sapphire is now moving onto shitting another brand vastly superior to his beloved mudheisers

Sir i ask you to please refrain from your faggotry in my thread

i actually have no idea
007s and 009s were tuned differently.
the akg thing is a meme though because akgs use a samsung signature and they used a sample pool of samsung customers.

Will you passionately kiss me user?

hmm depends

They were equalized to match one target and still Stax sound worse

What are the most comfortable portable closed-back headphones? Not full blown studio equipment.

Also preferably wireless but they can be just wired too.

Stax incels on suicide watch lmao

aye, 007s and 009s arent great.
especially for the price.
id get 3100s just for the meme maybe but idk

On what?

As a Stax owner I can confirm that these headphones are absolute garbage and sound like shit

Posted in last thread like right before it capped, so here it is again

Need some new over-the-ears for the Hi-Fi I'm building. I wouldn't mind a headphone amp rec, either, but here's what you need to know

>Budget
$150 max
>Location
Upper South USA
>Source
Receiver (connected to CD Player, Turntable) and MP3 Player
>Type
Full size, for use in Hi-Fi stereo system
>Open/Closed
Used to closed, but willing to experiment with Open
>Comfort level
Comfy enough. Not a priority, but it shouldn't be painful to wear
>Sound Signature
Well, I listen to Post-Rock, Ambient, Most genres of Electronic, Future Funk/Vaporwave, Jazz, and Classical. If you can find one that fits most or all of that, you're magic.
If it makes it easier, though, I'd prefer something in between warm and neutral
>Past headphones
Brainwavz M1 (liked them, but lost them pretty quick
MEElectronics M6 Pro gen. 2 (love these, current IEMS)
some Skullcandy Full headphones when I was like 13 and started to "get into music"
Also other headphones that friends let me listen to, like NVX XPT100, Sennheiser HD 25 & HD 598, which I quite liked all 3

Any help would be appreciated, and if it isn't too much, if y'all know if any good headphone amps that don't break the bank, that'd be lovely

Thats not you fagget

hello pitchfork zoomer

>he likes music I don't
Oh no, heaven forbid people *like* things you don't!

Idk user. Are you a nice headphone bf?

did pitchfork tell you to say that as well the same way they told you what music to like?

I can be uwu

How do I find out if I'm cute?

post pics of course

That's Awesome! I don't even know if I'm helping or hurting. Saffire post?

Oh God, NM. "Saffire" is talking to itself.

sad

Why does Sennheiser always use 2.5mm connections to their headphones?

Not here user.

hmmm then where

Those who get Stax do it because of "special" technology and ""made in Japan"" (while actually Stax is a Chinese company now lol)
They don't care about sound quality, it's about the image of the product

wut is that red thing?

tape to mark left and right

Do you have a pitchfork up your ass?
I don't recall ever seeing vaporwave on pitchfork, and post rock was a friend recommended genre. The rest I listened to when I just started out
>I have to explain myself to people on the internet because they're autistic about other people liking music they don't
If you're on the spectrum, it's okay I guess, but otherwise I'd really appreciate some help with what I came here for - finding some good headphones

what headphones do u want owo

okay now that's probably the most boomer thing I've seen in /hpg/

Dayum. GET OUT OF THE LEFT LANE!!! Slow traffic to the right, just sayin.

Anyone have a Steelseries Siberia or H Wireless in the past?

Hello this is Tyll from Innerfidelity.

I'm posting from my caravan and as you know I'm already retired, but what the fuck guys? Why are you shilling Stax? I tested them and they sound worse than any random mid-fi headphones.

Please stop turning this hobby into even a bigger joke than it is already. I want to bring some credibility with me into my tomb.

haafee hd1 on aliexpress or massdrop hd58x

tfw sapphire pretending to be some boomer that lives in a fedex truck

The Balanced adaptor is heavier than the player. But it still sounds Godlike

based zoomer listening to diana ross played at 0.5x speed and getting mad on the internet about being told he has generic indie bitch taste
go buy some urbanears or some shit lol hipster faggot

nice macintosh plus reference

Thank you. Please see I guess next time I shouldn't include music I like, huh? Maybe I'm just retarded and fell for b8

What do you listen to, then? Just out of curiosity

but this isn't about my music taste, this is about me laughing at your music taste, lol zoomer

>I laugh at people on the internet to feel validated
le epic troll XD

is it really trolling though, if i genuinely am laughing at you for being yet another indie retard?

desu i dont even know cause at 150 ur looking at budget-fi.
best u can do is dt770/880.

Nope, last I checked, CD quality or up was advised.

What if I did 300? I'd be willing to save that much if it came down to it

I'm a poorfag with a chinese dac/amp (the FiiO e10k) and the thing keeps going into standby mode when audio isn't playing, producing an audible click. When audio resumes, the same sound is produced as the device powers back on. How do I fix this shit?

I've tried changing the power settings on the USB ports so they are always on and it does nothing. It seems the only thing I can do is play an endless blank music file in the background to keep the device always on. Is that a good idea? Should I just change the windows login theme to be an infinite silent WAV file? pls help

hd600

Awesome. Thanks!

I'm on a budget.

Hyper X Cloud Alpha or Steelseries Arctis 5?

^.^
youll love them

What are Sony's best headphones? Do they have actual substance?

takstar pro 82/phillips shp9500

just buy some razer gayming crap, they’re all the same

I do not have those choices in my country. PH is shit when it comes to choices.

steelseries then i guess

Why do you guys have to parrot this disingenuous stuff?

how is it disingenuous when all of them sound like shit and all of them will break within a month?

Because they don't and they don't?

Still better than Stax shitphones

oh yeah man absolutely, keep telling yourself that.

Whats the point of an Atom amp and is it something I should have my stereo speakers go through?

atom makes things loud loud

I've head my Razer headset from 2014 still working until now. Which really makes me wonder if you guys overreact for the hate and everything.

We all know there are better products out there sure, but to blatantly lie just and overreact just to piss on something instead of just presenting actual facts is really not a good look for an argument.

>blatantly lie
Oh yes I’m lying, the dozens of reviews and people complaining that their RazerXX Deathmamba Chromia Hyperion broke down after a few weeks of light use are all lying. And Razer definitely makes hifi products that don’t sound like listening to music through a pipe full of mud.

I feel personally attacked

enjoy your high definition cirrhosis

Indeed i will

I'm not saying your absolutely wrong or something. I'm saying you are speaking like it happens 100% of the time. Which is a blatant lie in itself.

I've seen people lie about those "light-usage" stuff as well you know.

Like I said, I'm not contesting you about other products being bad compared to others. All I'm saying is that at least present an actual fact with backups instead of spiting people asking for choices and alternatives and saying every one of those are the same etc. etc. Because you know they really aren't. That's it.

You're too angry over nothing.

>angry
I’m not angry, I’m laughing at retards who buy shitty neon zoomer gaming headsets. Such as yourself.

>Spend $557 on HD650s and a Schiit stack
>Spend $550 on a Hull E in Star Citizen

Ninja knows best. Beyers for the win.

beyers confirmed for zoomer trash

What's a recommended amp for a hd650? Don't even consider the budget.

atom

boomer hear which Snapheiser should i get so i can say i atleast gave them a try

hd600 for midfi, hd800s for hifi

hmm Doubtful that the 800 could touch my LNS so seems 600 is the choice but uhh what about the original HD580 Jubilee

>LNS
?
5xx series is going to be budgetfi compared to the 6xx series/800s.

E10k

Thanks.

Oy vey

no no the HD580 Jubilee not HD58X Jubilee the OG 580 Jubilee is basically what became the HD600 and yeah LNS Lambda Nova Signature

What a fucking faggot

>balanced mud
lmao

HD800 is not mud, if anything it's piercing. HD800S is a lot better but on lofi recordings the sharpness can hurt.

wtf is wrong with their new logo.
also is beyer designed for low listening level?
