LOL, Stax headphones are literally audiophool garbage

I don't ask that you enjoy stax as I do, just that you not be so obnoxious about it.

what's it like being a weeb?

Did you update it to include all the chink/rice shill spam? Seems to be his latest set of buzzwords.

i'm aware of it and I can easily filter it but I won't add a one off buzzword until he starts using it more frequently. he already stopped after his ban and was just using it to target one user in particular.

Fair enough.

Does anyone know how to equalize the volume on my music? I tried MP3gain and it doesn't really do it well.

user that is a comment on anti stax spam

pls reread

I made a mistake my dude

IMO the root of the problem in this thread is just the hardcore objectivists in general. These people don’t realize that their own bread and butter isn’t very scientific at all. Harman curve doesn’t have enough research behind it to make it reality. The fact that hardcore objectivists insinuate you can make any headphone sound like any other headphone using EQ is pretty ridiculous too. You’ll never be able to replicate the imaging and soundstage of a HD800 on a HD600, simple as that. There are simply some things about headphones that we don’t know how to measure yet.

Based and audiophool pilled

These people call themselves objectivists but really they're just as dogmatic as the subjectivists.

broke: objectivist vs subjectivist
woke: logicalist vs dogmatist

I want her to sit on my face!

Cute drawing :3

I ordered the sony mdr xb950n1 headphones yesterday cuz they were on sale for like 100$.

Are those decent? I read that some ppl have complained about the bass and how it overpowers the mids and highs but I'll fix it with an EQ .

These will be my first headphones cuz I always liked in ear models more, but I think its time I actually wanna start using real headphones.

Have you had experiences with these?
Are they any good?

>>having to keep it under a plastic bag
Literally nobody except retarded people do this

MDR-V6.

speaking of plastic bags, I really want an HE60 to go with my stax and to dab on senniggers... I also kinda want an 007 but I might hunker down and wait for the massdrop he60 which would have a dust guard. the thought of a thx stack with an energizer makes me jizz too

who are we kidding massdrop and sennheiser love their shekels so it's gonna happen it's just a question of when

what if it's $200 usd instead

I would buy this shit even though it’s assdrop. Just to have an orpheus myself.

why do my headphones sound like im in a tunnel

is this what soundstage sounds like

probably harman tuned

Alright earlets, time to prove yourselves.

Attached: 2019-01-06-215725_3840x2160_scrot.png (819x531, 54K)

I'd buy it instead of the L500 I've been convincing myself I don't need, assuming it's similarly priced.

upgrade to hd600 so it sounds like there's a bucket of mud on your head

>L500
L300LE is still in stock and comes with the L500 pads

elusivedisc.com/Stax-SR-L300-Limited-Lambda-Open-Back-Headphones-80th-Anniversary/productinfo/STXSR300L/

Stax sound worse than mid-fi though

Please stop reminding me I can't hear above 16khz.

>bucket on your head
unironically true.
Which headphone? Dt 990 and HD 598 don't sound like that. Or HD 800s

>Budget
$500 but wouldn't mind spending less.
>Type of headphone
full size
>Open or closed
open
>Comfort level
comfy
>Sound signature
Most likely neutral. Something with good mids and not too much bass.
>Past headphones
Cheap ones.
Tried the DT990: didn't like it at all, DT880: much better, almost good, but not enough mids.

1990, EQ down the treble spike if you have baby ears

HD600.

Looks like you want us to tell you to buy an HD600.

Which headphones measure better? Headphone A or Headphone B?

strawpoll.me/17184157

Attached: test.png (2000x800, 309K)

The real answer is that measurements don’t tell you shit about a headphone and putting a little faggot targer curve makes people more biased in their results. Great survey eh?

please trip and break your neck

HP B coming out with a solid lead.

Headphone A, Headphone B has a stupid notch around 4.5k and the treble is retarded. Also someone hijacked the poll lmao.

>being cheeky
Nothing cheeky about putting harmantardons in their place

Why do these poorfag in "IEMs" thread keep posting their absolutely disgusting chinkshit? It sounds the same as if retarded beats owners were making the hpg threads

based

lol you guys are missing the point, he asked what headphones measure better, it has nothing to do with the harman curve as you can see the raw response of both

/iemg/ should be renamed to /chifig/

Headphone B measures better. The people have spoken.

Yes that magical Harman AE/OE target response line definitely isn’t there to shape your opinion. Begone harmantardon.

I would vote for a muramasa if it meant kikes like you would stop spamming graphs

based, nostaxers are literally brainless harmantardons.

lmao go cry over at hydrogenaud.io where no one posts because there is nothing to talk about

what headphones are these

Headphone A is DT880, Headphone B is DT1990.

Well that proves it, DT1990 >>>>>> DT880.
