Invalidated.

those never clicked redard

What amp and earspeakers?

Only if equalized to the harman target.

No, you don't understand.
Since those are the three most shilled headphones if one were to unite them in a holy trinity of pure distilled fidelity they would become an unstoppable force for good and restore peace to this war torn land.

There's no such a thing as good smelling shoes. Just because the girl is pretty doesn't make it smell better.
You did good. Koss is one of the most based company.

atom and hd600

dont do that
If you want to go full flagship you go DT1990
You’ll only get laughed at for being a midfi cuck.

Sorry it's the only glass I have I plan on buying a set of norlan glasses this week

So does a DAC just make your headphones louder?

I am cuck to no man but only to god and fidelity. Sometimes you must make sacrifices for the greater good.

What’s the definition of hi-fi, mid-fi, and lo-fi?

BUY SPEAKERS REEEEEE

>destroy them
They do that on their own.
t. previous 558 owner, current 6xx owner.

Memes aside I'm content with the lifetime of the 558's and I'm sure the 6xx will last just as long. By the time the band breaks I'll want whatever the new hotness is anyway.

I repeatedly did that thing where you stand on the cord then stand up from your desk slamming the 558's to the ground.
I put the cord behind me now.

No, that’s an amp. A DAC converts digital to analog. Your pc already has one, but an external one may provide better sound.

This. I only come to these threads to laugh at you poor headphone peasents

So, about never. The band will not break. I guarantee it.

quite pungent.

What fidelity, you’re listening to midfi trash
Budget ranges really. The best stuff at a certain pricepoint is considered the definitive headphone at that bracket.

What DAC, preamp, and amp should I use with these?

How do they compare really? I own the DT1990 and am not really shopping for more, just curious.

But I own two of those

none of those headphones are really amazing and he has 5 of them

The T1 is the beyer treble rape meme but real

In your opinion, what are 5 amazing headphones?
>orpheus

Tbh the pic of the guy with the old brown stax and whiskey looked better. But i'm jelly of you as well. Don't worry.

Neat.
For the 558's it was the part that coupled the cup to the band, not necessarily the band itself.
Most of the stress was likely from me moving my hands off of the band, holding on to only 1 cup before grabbing the other one to put them on. Instead of picking them up like that in the first place. If that makes sense.

I'm gonna see if I can find the duct tape picture. They still worked fine but it was mad ghetto.

COPE

Headphones are by default lo-fi

Speakers are by default lo-fi as well.
Forcing the performers to become your slaves and play live for you at your whim, now that’s summit-fi.

It's real easy. I used to be someone who'd fuck up his stuff as well. A reason why i threw everything away instead of selling them or keeping them preserved.

Nowadays i just imagine i should pick up and put down my headphones like they're owned by someone else. Clean them once every few months etc. Just taking care of it like you would a plant. Gentle and thoughtfull

Nice collection. What's that bottle of blood red alcohol? the actual blood of newborns?

Since i haven't seen an /ag/ thread in a while, I'll try asking here.
Do you know any good resources on how to make DIY speakers? Are there any well known tweeter/woofer/crossover combos that match well with each other?

Sennheiser HD 202 (old version). They served me well over 15+ years, but now it's time to upgrade.

Such a waste of weed to watch such a stupid cartoon on them.

sci-movies/series or horror or with sex is best.

you have to do better if youre gonna bait. those are all some of the highest fidelity headphones ever, very few are better. If any of them were released today for $2000 they would be considered the best shit ever super summit zyzz fi by audiophools

ATH M40X

jej

I wonder how much profit I could make if I just took the KSC75 driver and enclosed them in wooden cups. This would be hotter than the T50RP sandwiches of MrSpeaker.

Someone post the ety infographic please
I own MK5s and I'm having an anxiety attack right now

my roomate has these, is there anything that is a one up just for shits?

ATH M41X

Kek

:^)

It basically boils down to HF5s being shit which is correct. Pretty much nothing else of note though.

Last time I take any advice from Jow Forums.

I don't recall any of the resident hpgers recommending either pieces of absolute trash. You should have gotten Koss if you have no money to spend.

whoever said that is a morongoloid

>Koss

Do they even make anything other than Portas?

ksc75
>inb4 zeostards

What were you expecting?

dont bully zeos
i like him a lot

enjoy your rick and morty garbage.

me too but dont u dare say ksc75 here or youll be called out for buypigging zeos
...even though hes very very late on his review and most people here already own them

>Do they even make anything other than Portas?
What, you think the Portas are worse than the m30x and m20x? Low end Audio Technica have 99% of the budget on making a large over ear piece of shit, 1% on driver quality. Koss KSC75 and PortaPros are the reverse. 100% sound 0% build.

Mental disorders. How can the opinion of someone like that be taken into account?

waste of 250 dollars. damn.
i'd let you off because your youtube channel makes money blending headphones or some shit but you do this for free lol

i mean it's his money, he can be retarded if he wants

this is brainlet tier. you're just going to become a stax shill, waste of time. also the L300 isn't midfi

i may start following this post's advice. nikita will end up being the only poster in this thread though because literally everyone here is nikita
