Nice list user, is it a list of headphones sorted by muddiness?

this desu
harmontards are some of the most audiophooled besides measurement fags

No love for sony v6/7506 and z1r? Also why the heck is Senny HD820 doing there? It really does sound like trash.

>taking the bait

>No love for sony v6/7506
For real?

I wish I could be cute like her.

There are so many ifs and buts connected to this list it's unreal.
m50x for example sound like a wet fart when connected to my audio interface, but ok when connected to my DAP

price != sound quality
well it scored 49

sound better than m50 and m40 imo and those 2 are ranked really high.

i would agree but remember this is the harman target where a bass boost is preferable to the flatter bass on the sonys, also it's interesting how the hd600 got 92 but that's because its mids and treble hit the target perfectly

Is ZMF shit? I'm saving my shekels for an Atticus

Attached: IMG_5492.png (1500x1001, 788K)

Why not you try them instead of blowing cash on a $2k headphone you’ve never heard?

Don't buy this. It measures like shit. Get a Fostex or another meme but absolutely do not buy ZMF stuff.

zmf a shit get lawton fostex th900

if that doesn't objectively prove harman is a mud target and a jewish trick I don't know what will

>mud
I don't think you know what that word means.

hmm but alot of people buy stax without even hearing it? Are those guys idiots too?

Attached: fuck feetfags.jpg (952x347, 269K)

it means the harman target

No because unlike ZMF stax are actually good

>stax are actually good

Yeah, """"good""""

lmao

It's an excellent headphone.

I've never seen anyone regret stax

criminally underrated posting

Explain to me what the image I posted had to do with Harman. Dumbass.

just got my stax. how'd i do?

beyerdynamic confirmed for being shit

what's the /hpg/ consensus on those new sony noise canceling headphones?

Just dropped $500 on Beyer 1990 Pros. Did I do well? The remorse is already kicking in hard and the payment has not even finished processing.

How about we all calm down and enjoy sniffing cute anime girl feets

Attached: 68898472_p0.jpg (1244x1456, 1.39M)

My current headphones just broke so I'm looking for something new that's cheap and good, especially for vidya and shitty music.
Preferably $100-$150.

Any recommendations?
I used to own the HD598 SR but gave them to a friend a while ago. They were alright though so I'm thinking of buying another pair of them since they're just $130 - unless you guys can point me somewhere better.

Attached: 1546896292384.jpg (680x786, 52K)

checked
also i have dt235s and theyre about as good as id expect from 40 dollar headphones. far outperforms my shp9500s in clarity.

>noise canceling
>sony
Now that’s 2 things that you don’t wanna hear in one sentence

They're better than boseshit at least

i like the ksc75s but they're like 15 dollars. idk any headphones in that range that sound like they should be in that range, you know what i'm saying?

I wish her cute feet could rub against my penis

sound is a myth

this, headphones are a placebo. literally no sound actually comes out, you’re just tricking yourself into thinking it. actually sound doesn’t exist at all it’s just a placebo.

now this is true objectivism, harmantardons on fucking suicide watch

I've been using these fellas. How did I do? I wanted fully wireless earbuds.

Master & dynamic mw07. So far I really liked the sound.

not only are you in the wrong general, the right general is gonna laugh at you too lmao

They're shit. DT880 or DT990 is better.

Previous to this I've used Sennheiser hd600s, dt880s, he-400i and he-400s. I thought these sounded pretty good. What's exactly wrong with them?

sapphire you don’t even own any beyers

>all mudcannons
exactly what i thought

Nikita does though, he thinks his mudcannon 990 is better than the glorious 1990

I'm not Sapphire, I auditioned the DT1990 and found them too bright and I like bright headphones.

shouldn you be pickin cotton boi

lol I don't believe this larp for a second whiteboi let's see those hands

Do you people seriously spend thousands of dollars on fucking headphones, two simple speakers suspended on a band, then argue over which one is the best?

Do you understand how bizzare this is?

Not even furries are this bad.

My HD600 only cost me 300 dollars and it's the best headphone ever made.

sapphire COPE

no some of us buy shitty headphones and cry because we can't afford better ones

What about LCD-2, Ananda, or Focal Elear?

why are you asking some retard who has only ever tried $200 headphones for advice

Dunno about the Anada but the Focal and Audeze are pretty decent, I wouldn't get the Audeze though, the quality control is shit. Focal is the best option that you listed.

I heard good things about the Brainwavz HM5, but when i look up reviews there's a lot of complaints about build quality. Im using AT-50x right now. Has anyone used the Brainwavz HM5? oregano

What do you recommend then? Just looking for the best under or around $1000.

Save up for HD800S.

L300

N O B A S S

Wanna know how I know you’ve never even seen a stax in real life?

This general is full of retards who like to lie about headphones and talk shit about stuff they've never tried.
make sure to ask for setup+timestamp before taking someone's opinion seriously, and good luck with the search

I like the option of a good amount of bass when appropriate, and soundstage should be good.

So the L300 then. Seriously, the Stax nobass memes come from old stax headphones. The new lineup has bass just fine.

I can smell her godly feet from here.

Get the HD800S and don't fall for the STAX memes. STAX are terrible at sealing, hence why you'll see some are fine with the bass and others will claim no bass. HD800S also has the best soundstage on headphones.

He likes ZMF, his opinion isn’t relevant

based

>stax are terrible at sealing
Maybe if you just got L700 pads or did the pad mod there would be no issues. But I can tell you’ve never actually used a stax before and are just reciting memes.

How is the sound isolation? It is not a huge concern, but I would prefer not to have a massive amount of leak.

>soundstage should be good
>isolation
You’re looking for something that doesn’t exist.

>spend hundreds of dollars on headphone
>need to mod it to get bass
ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Both of those leak like mad
Get DT1990

I mean the L300 unmodded has bass. It’s just significantly improved when you do the mod or the swap. Either way a full 3100 is like $600 so it’s not even like you’re spending a grand on headphones you need to mod.

tfw can't hear about 18k.
