/hpg/ - Headphone General

>Anything else you'd recommend for the $100-ish mark that'd be any better while still being wireless?
Nah, the 4.40 are the only thing you can reasonably pick if you care about sound quality at all in that price range. You'll need to spend more if you want both sound quality and comfort to match.

what's the appeal of the k1000? can't I just take some speakers and 3d print them to sit on my head?

needs a pad swap tho the stock pads on the bluetooth version of the rbh hp-2 are garbage

Falling for what? When are you going to sniff my feet?

If not considering price, how are the Soundlink II's compared?
I'm not considering getting them, they're well out of what i'm willing to spend on wireless, i'm just wondering how they compare since I've heard the Soundlink II's in person.

I'd love to see you try

user you told me I was your lesbian wife, Rin. Don't joke around like that.

Is marshall major 3 bt or marshall mid good? or you can recommend me $100 or below BT on ear headphone. i use spotify mainly on my iphone to listen to music.

Horrible comfort aside, what's the status of this company when it comes to audio?

I haven't heard the soundlink but I have the qc35 which shouldn't be too dissimilar sound wise.
I find the qc35 slightly better sound quality wise, but not that much better, compared to the 4.40. A bit more treble extension, a bit more sub-bass, but I believe it's all DSP and not inherent qualities of the driver, so if you fiddled with EQ enough you probably could get a similar sound on the 4.40.
The main selling point for getting the qc35 for me is the noise cancelling and comfort. In comfort alone it is a huge, massive upgrade over almost any closed headphone I've tried both wired and wireless. Portable headphones that are that comfortable aren't common. The Momentum would have had the potential for that if Sennheiser hadn't made earpads for ants instead of humans.

Whoever recommended me this is user of the year 2019. A few days ago, my M50 broke and bought the DT 770 Pro and i am not dissapointed so far let me tell you that.

I just wanted to say thanks Jow Forums!

The only downside is that it barely fits me, you dont want to have a big head if you plan on buying it.

*SSSNNNIIIIFFFFFF*

I have one of those, it's shit. Build is impeccable though. The NC isn't as good as the Sony 1000 or QC35, and the sound is a travesty - no that the Sonys or Boses sound good or even decent.

Goddamn, that's it. I'm finally gonna start fapping to anime feet too.

Jesus Christ those feet. Fuck.

ah yes, /hpg/, the place where if you're not a foot fetishist you'll become one eventually

where did my wife(user posting miku) go? ;_;

Seeing the price difference, I'd wholly expect the QC35's to be a fair bit better, But personally, I just want headphones, don't care much for the noise cancellation and such.

They're really not that much better. You're paying features and comfort between a 4.40 and a QC35.
The closed headphone market is already kind of a shitshow in terms of price for value/sound quality upgrade, when you add bluetooth to that, you lose out even more.
Open headphones are truly irreplaceable, but naturally, unusable outside or in noisy environment.

I'm back! Dab on jannies amirite?

Sennheiser:

STAX:

and yet, STAX is the chinese company?

Didn't stax just get bought by edifier which is a chinese company?

Is Harman a Korean company now that it's owned by Samsung?

yes

No wonder it went to shit.

If I was to purchase a JDS Labs ATON amp, would I also need a DAC or can I get away with not purchasing one right now?

I'm still looking I for a speaker that sounds better than KSC75, $2000 budget

You can get away without purchasing one. Just plug it in your motherboard with rca outputs to 3.5mm or the 3.5mm to 3.5mm line.

Don't worry about a DAC. They're only needed when your onboard audio is noisy.

What

a speaker

If you can stretch your budget a bit go with tue Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro, you can find it at the "Musitech" store, it's a Brazilian shop.
Alternatives are the K240 MKII and maybe the AD700X, assuming ypu can find this last one for cheap.
Do check the HT Forum, the "classificados" section has lots of good headphones in excelent state for good prices.
Boa sorte na busca, huehue.

HD600 master race.

Lol

You guys know anything about a Takstar Pro82? Im wanting a set modeled after it apparently and people said its real good so I wanted opinions here.

It's good for the price

Being the absolute pleb I fell for wireless meme. Got Audio Technica ath-ar3bt and they are actually fine.

What in-ear options are there that won't absolutely jew me out? I would prefer "truly wireless" ones, if they can handle at least 3h without recharge.

Does Any user out ther like Good Sound? Why not try Balanced? MANY Amps to choose from. Simple Cable upgrade for most Phones. Just Sayin' . . .

Balanced doesn't make a difference.

Stop replying to the schizophrenic spammer, just report him. He’s completely insane.

at least he's not nikita

Is there any other headphone amp that is comparable to the JDS-Atom Headphone Amp in the same price range?

The ATOM is on backorder right now, and I wanted to see what other options I had in the $100-150 price range.

Fight Me - It Does. ESPECIALLY in the output to Headphones. Balanced has quadruple the damping force and current of single ended, IE, typical TRS headphone output. INSTANT 3dB improvement in S/N

Attached: Dynomac.jpg (1417x1031, 927K)

No, the Atom is the best amp in the $100 bracket. Your next upgrade pretty much is the THX AAA 789 and that’s $350

No. It's better than thx for single ended performance. Pay more to get less, sounds pretty dumb to me

That 3dB is inaudible.

To You!

My ears are surely better than yours, user. I'm not bragging, it's just a biological reality of the human aging process.

Pls try to appreciate a Balanced Approach to Audio: + ground -
Differential Inputs are Godly

What do you mean mate I can totally hear when the noise floor is at -93 or -96 dB, huge difference in music I tell you, really pays off ruining your headphones with mods because now the plankton travels through two cables

There is no difference to appreciate, unfortunately. There's no need to shill for balanced, just enjoy your headphones.

Wait, HD58X has bass?

There's a BIG following...

3dB is, technically, double the signal strength. Look it up:

The more you defend your headphones on /hpg/ the better they will sound. Everyone knows the spergfests at /hpg/ do nothing but further entrench either side in their original opinion. In reality, this is a mutually beneficial relationship because as you get more emotionally invested in your headphones, the placebo effect and confirmation bias kicks into high gear letting you enjoy your headphones more. Therefore, I prescribe every poster on /hpg/ an hour per day of zealously shilling their headphone of choice.

Buy STAX.

A 3dB difference is, practically, absolutely inaudible when most devices have over a 100 dB SNR.
Might as well buy something that has a flat frequency response up to 100 kHz. Technically five times the range, in the real world completely useless and pointless.
