This describes the faggot english teacher gweilo perfectly, no wonder he wanted to buy hifiman.

Reminder DAC+amp is not necessary if you have a mid range motherboard

Yep just plug those planars right into your computer

AKG K1000, iBasso SR1 or Hifiman (Honorary) Aryan?

AKG K712 Pro worked absolutely fine with a 120€ Gigabyte MB despite AKGs reputation to have "picky" headphones. AmpDAC improved things of course but definitely isn't necessary in that price class of headphones.

LCD2C is not hard to drive, same with SINE and PM-3. There are plenty of planars that are not hard to drive and plenty that are exceptionally hard to drive.

Happy new year, fellow adiophiles.

Literally no difference between listening to the radio through apple earpods and a HD800. Get a grip losers.

HD 600, Atom and Topping DX3.

False objectivists who don't understand human hearing but obsess over measurements will invariably buy that shit.

Friendly reminder to buy speakers if you want a good listening experience and have money.

Oh yeah sorry, DX3 is the "hi-fi" model to those gweilos.

How is this not the best thing in the world?

I replace the pads because they get nasty.

Pushing nails into your eardrums will sound like Stax if EQed right.

How loud do you anons listen to your headphones? How loud are you supposed to listen?
I put my HD650 to as loud as I ever do and its 66db. My room comes in at 24db.
Is this low? For some reason I thought 80db is how most people listen but that would be insanely loud.

DT880 or K712
I need to get this right

desu i would use those only for the looks if they werent that expensive

If you can get them under $1K and have a good amp, the K1000, if not, the SR1 with tye new perforated pads

So anons, I've just got into EQing, and I downloaded EqualizerAPO and Hesuvi for it. I set them up, tried the HD600 and DT880 250 Ohm Headphones dot com, and Innerfidelity presets. I think the DT880 with the HP dot com preset sound fucking immense. The HD600 preset didn't do much for me, and all i did was use an EQ in my music player to bump up bass slightly on them previously. Anyone have any thoughts?

Is there a full set of measurements for the effects of better amps?
Not that i believe kilobuck amps are better but just because FR remains the same it doesn't mean other audible properties don't change as well

DT880 is more neutral (on the didfuse field target curve)
K712 is not very neutral, it has a lot of detail and massive soundstage (a bit too large IMO) but is rather hard to drive, the atom should be enough for it though
Also, the elastic band on the k712 headband geta stretched after a couple months of use and become really uncomfortable

EQ is mostly about experimenting with what sound signature you enjoy, if you really want to get serious about it you could always purchase the project kameleon to try hardware based EQ

You buy CDs and you rip them yourself if you'e not a tard.

>buy
>music
the first mistake

>Buy
Amazon or bandcamp if you like indie shit

Best way to rip vinyls?

You don’t because your setup will suck unless you know what you’re doing and you will hear more crackle pop than you will actual music.

You buy CDs then rip them yourself using Exact Audio Copy

The absolute state of audiophools on /hpg/. Stick to your anime theme songs.

cringing rn

what could it be /hpg/

the way i did it was to connect the phono amp to my audio interface and record the incoming signal but if you are seriously gonna do it i suggest you buy a good turntable to minimize all the unwanted sounds such as the forementioned crackle and pops. Also stay the fuck away from the usb turntables

It's alright, i'd say it's on par with K702.

Quircky is a huge redflag, all women who started as "quircky" all ended up as mad feminists who pretends to be lesbian but also tries to catch any sperglord virgin they can. And excessive amounts of cats live in their home, smell of catahit and piss can be smelled in the stairwell leading to their apartments, inside you will find all walls scratched, sofas turned inside out with the pillows used to hide the stains of old catpuke and shit. When you put your dick into a quircky girl be aware of the fact that age already has named your kids and will stalk you on social media if you're stupid enough to give your info to this bat of shit and crazy, just because - lul I'm so random.

Basically, just get a pair of faggheisers and call it a day.

There's literally nothing wrong with Brothers in Arms

Just a quick update if anyone cares. I ordered a DT880 Pro and a HD600 and I've been listening to each for about an hour with content that I'm familiar with. Both headphones are really nice, I like the DT880 Pro's coiled cable because it doesn't get in the way. The sound is neutral but it does emphasize the sibilant sounds in recordings, a problem I had with the DT770 as well, but the DT770 had too much bass, this is just right. The HD600 sounds like the DT880 without the added sibilant tones and is probably the one I'd give the edge to, I dislike the cable but that's a minor complaint, at least it's detachable. As for comfort, I think the DT880 might be more comfortable because they have softer pads, they both have about the same clamping force, so I'd give the edge to the DT880, it's not that the HD600 is uncomfortable, the DT880 is probably better in this regard. Then again I've only used both for an hour and I was already familiar with the DT770. For durability, I'd say a tie, the HD600 uses plastic so it feels more lightweight however it has a detachable cable, it doesn't feel cheap or anything like that. All in all, I prefer the HD600 by a hair for doing studio work. I hope this helps anyone deciding between these two.

Whats a good budget-fi DAC/Amp combo

topping d10 + srm-252s

Interesting review user. Are you plugging this straight into your onboard audio?
