>”audiophile equipment”

Just buy some normalfag noise cancelling headphones, you’re not gonna hear a sound quality difference because your source fucking sucks.

this is sapphire, he's a weeb and shills the hd600 this is nikki, he's a normie slav who shills cheap beyers keep up

Both are the nikki m8, look at the post timestamps. Almost exactly 1 minute apart.

kek, you are not able to spot a difference even between spotify standard setting and lossless
abx.digitalfeed.net/spotify.html

no, it has been proven that sapphire is canadian and nikita live in estonia

I’ve done the ABX and I can differentiate between FLAC and 320. Your call.

The absolute state of audiophilia.

I’m not saying they’re the same person, I’m saying neither of those posts are by sapphire. Sapphire is the one who was going on about graphs and driver matching a few hours ago.

>Sound signature
Is there a headphone that is v shaped but its mids arent recessed?
And maybe a mids-centric option too but that's just as a second pair for another time
>Past headphones
DT 990(Good but recessed mids, sound stage could be bigger, HD 600(good mids)

tried:
lcdx( bass felt a little too boomy. But its alright in other aspects), HD 800S(not enough bass, not sure if you can eq it to have more
Focal clear(good bass quantity, good mids, treble a little light but a little too intimate)

nikita...

okay. I keep seeing some user calling sapphire idol trash or saying they are both the same person

How the fuck am i nikita you cocksucking retard, go back to listening to xxxtentacion on spotify shithead.

>Is there a headphone that is v shaped but its mids arent recessed?
That's a funny troll.

Stay away from Stax. They sound worse than mid-fi.

xxxtentacion sounds great in my stax

nikita...

I want both of them :(

Fidelio X2 is the closest thing I can think of that's a mild V but not full on retard V like DT990.

Probably U shaped headphones? but those are rare.

If stax are so good, show me a reputable sound engineer that uses one.

Note that "mid-fi" headphones like k702, dt880 and hd600 are used in professional environments.

>Is there a headphone that is v shaped but its mids arent recessed?
that's not possible as v shaped means the mids are recessed. just get some stax and bass boost them and be done with your hifi adventures

But you know nothing about audio engineering nikita

every pair of headphones is U-shaped if you turn them upside down

I didn't mean the bass and treble on the dt 990 but im willing to sacrifice some if the mids don't suffer
I mean the focal clear did everything I wanted it was just too intimate in sound stage. :/ i never heard of u shapped headphones. The dt 1990 doesn't seem recessed in mids right? I would like it to be less intimate though.

replying to yourself twice in one post is pretty sad nikki

Hunt for a used Fidelio X2 or try to find one. The soundstage is large. It has the exact sound signature that you want.

;_; b-but. Idk I just want a headphone that can do it all and not have too switch headphones for each specific genre.

My wife is so cute.

stax l700 and eq it

yeah, bass boost some stax

umm how many wives do you have?

two hands and two feet

I'll try them.
OKOKOK
HOW ABOUT
A v shaped sound signature
And a mid centric sound signature
Each $2000?

You’re just wasting an extra $2.5k when you could be buying a L700

stax l700 and th900

TH909 or if you want something cheaper E-MU teak or some variant of the TH-X00

HD600 and DT990 dude. You already owned the best. The more expensive headphones doesn't mean that they're automatically better, headphones are a very mature tech.

sapphire...

mids on the HE6 are great if you power it properly

He's trolling you. It's a notorious shitposter, the stax incel. Read >$4000 SR-009 was rated lower in blind tests than a $200 K701
Stax are absolute garbage. Don't fall for the meme.

Fuck off already, I'm not your boogeyman. I'm giving this poster legit advice.

nikita...
sapphire...

Spending money on expensive headphones makes me feel less suicidal and depressed.

Then get at least something decent, not Stax which sound worse than cheap mid-fi cans.

he doesn't want your advice, you're just here to bully people who spend more than you

Nikita please stop lying to people

Buy HD800S and add in the extra bass you want with Equalizer APO. Anyone telling you to buy STAX here is memeing you.

Thanks for help. This thread has become a party

send me the money instead

I need it for school

hd800 has velour pads with a large front chamber and are not good for bass boosting. this is just bad advice

That won't cure my depression user.

Sure buddy, let me guess you think STAX are good for bass boosting?

I bought a Fiio E10k when I only use Sony MDR 7506 on my pc
Did I fuck up?

it will cure mine

yes, they were actually designed for it moron
>These Lambda Professionals and the SRM-1/MK-2 Professional amplifier were developed at the request of Mercedes-Benz, who asked Stax to develop a high-output version of the regular SR-Lambda (not Pro) that had been introduced in 1979. Mercedes-Benz needed a transducer that could reproduce extreme subsonic information loudly to help them reproduce the sounds of automobiles for design and analysis.
>Elsewhere it's(lambda pro) been rated at an insane 114dB at 20 Hz, and an unfathomable 111 dB at 10 Hz. Daimler-Benz needed this for analyzing car noise and vibration.

Good luck correcting that bass leakage, buddy.

But you are misleading people, not him. Do you think it's funny to recommend shitty headphones to everyone who asks for help itt?

it's easy! just don't have plastic for skin.

Yes. Waste of money when JDS atoms has a lot more power which you will buy in the future if you want harder to drive headphones. They don't need a dac+amp anyway.

Fiio 3K just released, is the updated version of the E10k as an all-in-one unit

Actually wear some sometime before you talk.

Were they "designed" to sound worse than mid-fi too?

Nikki please don’t do this to yourself...

CUTE!!!

based queensryche boomer

thanks

Every Lambda I've tried sounded thin and bright.

because they were not sealed. which takes five minutes and or a pad swap

but you haven’t heard any lambdas nikki...

bass is highly preferential and easily EQ'd. you'd know this if you weren't a dumb audiophool

Because it's Stax, they all sound like shit.

nikita...

why are you praising yourself nikki???

Is it worth sending the E10K bacK? I haven't opened it yet. The only problem with that Fiio K3 is that I don't have usb-c on my motherboard

what listen to you on your foneheads anonalona
youtu.be/EFUarSyAZqA
those panties don't work as well as you think they do in practice. good OP nonetheless.

>The only problem with that Fiio K3 is that I don't have usb-c on my motherboard
just get a usb c to usb 3.0 cable

Bluetooth or wireless over the head headphones under 300 usd?
