how much of an upgrade is dt990 -> dt1990?

pastebin.com/FEfiZgBi

It's a massive downgrade.

I would have just bought my mom something like a new phone if hers is old. Or maybe a nice dinner at an expensive restaurant.

how do i use this?

The driver is different and more capable, it's a general upgrade.
Fuck off harmantardon.

As someone who owns the DT 990 I hear it isn't a huge upgrade. Although I never tried dt 1990 so I'll wait until then.

Harmantardons are not human

Jow Forums x

wrench at top right -> filter

put the main stuff under comment. put the image hashes under image md5

DT1990 is inferior, have you seen the frequency response? It has a huge notch and a nasty treble peak. Even 30 dollar Superlux headphones measure better.

waiting for nikkita to update this image

is the o2 amp/sdac still worth getting?

Obsolete. OL+Atom is objectively superior measurement wise. Even the DX3 measures better.

is haafee hd1 a meme like ath-50? i don't want to be meme'd twice now. Did the guy who bought it a few threads ago compare it with a TH900?

headphone measurements are retarded

but he was dodging bans with his unlimited ip works!

only this post has been filtered so far. also you need to turn off recursive filtering otherwise the whole thread will be purged with anons replying to nikita's bait

It is a meme

slavs buy AKG what are you talking about?

already done

Just a friendly reminder that Stax headphones are audiophool garbage.

$4000 SR-009 was rated lower in blind tests than a $200 K701

Even best Stax headphones sound objectively worse than mid-fi, kek

I compared it with a TR-X00 Ebony. It's amazing for the price, singlehandedly restored my faith in cheap headphones.

that is what i expected huehuehue

I’m praying they slapped him with the rangeban for good.
Whoops nevermind.

I MISSED YOU PLEASE UPDATE THIS

I don't know why he bothers. Nobody believes him

How did the comparison go? I'm curious.

Probably because he has nothing better to do.

Enjoy your world's best headphone with a preference rating of 92.

How to filter this garbage? They're getting trickier.

>Enjoy your world’s muddiest headphone with a mud rating of 92
People actually do this?

The Haafees are just way more pleasant to listen to. They're also a bit bassier. The Fostexes have boosted treble with a few spikes which accentuate sibilance in a bad way, while the HD1 sounds smooth all the way. You can use EQ as a bandaid of sorts on the fostexes.

the second one is already filtered by I'm deliberating on whether to add a filter for the first one or not

That's impressive. I expected something like "a bit worse than the Fostex but it's alright because they're 1/5 of the price"

Pretty much exactly a month and a half.

Headphone A looks muddy as fuck. Headphone B looks great.

t. Blind AND deaf.

headphone A doesn't belong beside headphone B. A for A SHIT. B for BASED

Beyercucks always ruin threads.

t. brainless harmantardon NPC who rates headphones off of graphs and has never actually heard a single one

wait I had an autism moment. there was a huge delay because of 11/11 and the holidays. it arrived after a week but was backlogged at the USPS for another week / week and a half

>Audeze mobius
are these a meme or what? i looked at their website, will bluetooth be alright for me laying in bed about 15 ft from my tv? my tv does have bluetooth afaik but i thought people used RF for this type of shit. are these really worth 400 compared to the RS 185s 229 dollars?

no they don't, you are the one who ruins threads nikita. stop being salty you don't get to control the narrative here

Stax bad
Denon good

Obvious signs of a low fidelity headphone.

>fun bad
>harman good

A lot of the time when people say shit like that I get the feeling they're rationalizing their purchase. It always a seems like a cop out to me. The only places where the X00 pulls ahead are build/comfort and stage. The HD1 is admittedly built like shit, though not the kind of shit that feels like it's going to fall apart tomorrow.

Dynamic or planar magnetic for good sub bass? Let's assume both are in the 1000 range.

I wonder if the gymbal can be modded to let them cups rotate forwards as well as backwards

Can you replace the pads with the same size as sony v6, athm50, brainwavz etc? Wondering for future use and does the pad comfort sucks or its okay?

Attached: buy beats.jpg (1150x2150, 539K)

I read on head-fi it requires removing some plastic bits.
Yeah, that's the size. The ear hole opening is really small but the pads are also extremely soft. I really like the comfort. It fits most of the ear inside, excluding the earlobe.

Sub bass is more about seal than transducer type. It's also extremely easy to EQ. I have an L300 with L700 pads and I boost everything below 100Hz by 4dB. It's not much different for other headphones.

omg don't try to take off the headband I'm having an absurd time trying to screw it back on

So is superlux 668b/evo682 (with pad swap) + haafee hd1 the ultimate poorfag setup for under 200?

Attached: 1546604561735.jpg (340x372, 69K)

Never tried superlux but I wouldn't mind KSC75 + HD1 as my only headphones for an extended amount of time.

How about the Phillips shp9500 for 80 dollars and the Takstar Pro 82 for 50 dollars. All in all, both are super comfy.

there's one on amazon for $99

why buy new headphones when you can just have a good pair, like beyers and eq them to perfection

Why buy headphones when you can just get tourbus earbuds and EQ them to perfection?

Reminder that both headphones and speakers have 0 soundstage. Want real soundstage, hire the artist to perform for you live. What are you, fucking poor?

>What are you, fucking poor?
I am, and they're also dead or retired.

lmao poorfag just pay some jew to reanimate them for a few hours. or you can keep enjoying your lofi soundstageless headphones and speakers

>he doesn't pay for the education of replacements for those artists
>he doesn't pay for their drug addiction so they can reach the level of their predecessor

I would rather pay them to reanimate Olive's parents before they had him, just to send a bullet into their heads.

Radical audiophool, lmao

Uh sweety St. Sean Olive is basically jesus. Are you insinuating that you want to kill His Holiness?
This but unironically, fucking altright snakeoil silver cable audiophools.

just fuck already

>This but unironically, fucking altright snakeoil silver cable audiophools.
you are no different from the silver cable audiophools and you refuse to accept it just like they do because of price bias, neck yourself

Uh sweety research shows that I’m rught and you’re wrong. HD600 is the best headphone ever made and nothing will ever top it. Praise be to St. John Oliver.
