maki user dono where art thou

headphone user vs speaker user

Top "estats" do not have the best resolution and transparency. Recording of a K701 played through SR-009 was rated higher than SR-009 itself in blind tests. Even trained listeners were not able to hear advantages of low distortion in SR-009. Stop these "resolving electrostats" memes please, electrostatic headphones are not better than any decent dynamic ones. You are too deep into audiophoolery and you are misleading other people.

Did you know that recording of K701 played through SR-009 scored higher in blind tests than SR-009 itself? This absolutely destroys all your silly fantasies about electrostats superiority. Even trained listeners are not able to detect advantage of low distortion electrostatic drivers. Stax are no better than any other decent headphones. It's just another useless audiophool meme, just like cable stands.

There is very little correlation between headphones price and sound quality. Cheap mass market headphones can easily sound better than "high-end". And if both have low distortion levels and wide frequency range, they will sound nearly identical when equalized to match one target. Of course audiophools will argue with this because they need to rationalize their purchases, but they can argue about cables too, whatever.

Even trained listeners have serious problems forming a preference when comparing "average" dynamic headphones like K701 or QC15 to SR-009 if they all are equalized to match one target. Yes, perceivable sound quality in cheap Bose headphones is as good as in most expensive Stax.

Regarding sound quality based on frequency response which is the dominant factor in how good or bad a headphone sounds, there is very little correlation between it and headphones price. It's easily possible that $100 headphones reproduce sound more accurately and sound better than $1000 headphones. Price means almost nothing again.

Spending a couple grand on speakers gets you in "as good as it can be" territory. If you spend them on decent speakers of course.

What the fuck is even going on in that picture? Do you reach a point where you become so deep in animu neckbeardery that you just see tits and save? Is the girl on the left standing on one leg? Is the girl on the right sitting on thin air? WHO DREW THIS AND WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!

You realize this

I'd love to have an open one but I dont live alone so I'll have to deal with closed ones for now.
>Comfort level
Comfort is really important for me
>Sound signature
I have no idea. I just want a nice sound.
>Past headphones
I dont even wanna talk about that shit. Right now Im using the IEM's that come with galaxy phones, so yeah.

Overall, I'd love to have some headphones that would actually blow me away with their quality and spark my interest in headphones/audiophilia in general.

That's actually sapphire
reddit.com/user/Amazing_Comment

that's sapphire larping as nikita

If sapphire is the guy who posts the stax hatred and harman studies then what does nikita actually do? the "triggered stax incel"?

>shitting

I refer to it as funposting. Also I like when the thread is active instead of it being 1 post per hour.

DT770 Pro.
Excellent OP without /iemg/ shilling.

they both do it you moron, this time it's sapphire. notice the proper spelling and punctuation and the lack of a meme image

please buy them

Samefag.

why do people dislike that general? asking because I don't go there

Be gone /iemg/ shill, your kind doesn't belong here. This is a sanctuary for headphone discussion.

Ath-m50 and DT770? Na get that gay shit out of my face it's the haafee hd1 or nothing.

Attached: 1547680614053.jpg (365x620, 33K)

Because it's filled with ledditors and it doesn't have anime in the OP.

It's precisely because we are a sanctuary for headphones that we need a link to contain the dildofags. I don't care whether that other general is good or bad, I only care that the dildofags go there instead of here.

>Because it's filled with ledditors
elaborate

>DT770 Pro
Cool! Thats the one I had my eye on actually. Should I buy any DAC/Amp afterwards when I have some more money?

No DACs and amps are audiophool snakeoil. You only need an amp if volume is too low.

>Should I buy any DAC/Amp afterwards when I have some more money?
No, if you can get it loud enough for your taste.

Gotcha. One more thing. How many ohms should I get? Im looking at the offers rn and each one has a different value.

see

I dont particularly listen to music loudly so I guess it wont be a problem for me. Don't DACs, like, stabilize music or some shit though?

read the fucking wiki

Okay, well now Im confused. Should I buy them or not?

80 ohm has a straight cable and 250 ohm has a detachable cable, use that to decide your purchase, impedance isn't really a problem unless it's being driven by voltage limited portable devices

Bose QC35

80 or 250 ohm will do, but 80 ohm is preferable for underpowered sources.
>Don't DACs, like, stabilize music or some shit though?
Most DAC claims are bullshit, differences tend to exist outside human hearing range and so on

You should demo headphone at a store. Not memeing

That's a sapphire shitposting. The local HD600 fanboy who hates beyer.

I did, I just have a really shitty memory and I've read it half asleep!
Gotcha, so if I bought the 250 ohm one, would I need an amp?

just ignore any posts about IEMs and they'll leave, don't link to their thread

250 ohm is permanently attached

>beyer

For me it's ZMF

Poland is kind of a shithole country and Im in a poor town as well, so thats a no for me dawg.
Ah, I see. Alright I guess it's decided then. I'll buy the DT770 Pro!

>the only part of DT 1990/1770 which you can actially break, costs around 7 bucks to replace

>Gotcha, so if I bought the 250 ohm one, would I need an amp?
Only if you need to get it really loud. I've run 250 ohm beyers out of a smartphone for lulz, it was powerful enough for most of the music I listen to at normal loudness for me.
But! it was just enough. Meaning for softer recordings like classical music with high dynamic range, and usage of software equalizers, you may need a bit more.

The best thing to do is just order the headphone and see for yourself.Order the amp if it doesn't get loud to your liking.

ayy 58X is /notbad/

t. Tranny milking poster

So you are just autistic faggot who like feets. Gotcha.

The mobile phone won't reach very loud levels, but it will reach decent listening volume. The desktop PC will be fine, do not the coil cable may have difficulties plugging onto the onboard soundcard, I recommend the 80 ohm model

that's a sennheiser incel

Alright, I think I'll just take the safer route and buy the 80 ohm one. Thanks for all the help guys! Really appreciate it!

Why do these threads have so sexual anime pictures?

fuck off retard, you will never be as great as nikita

This. Only mentally ill trannies like them. They love getting dicked in the ass and in the ears.

Listen guys, Im no audio expert I just want some good fucking headphones. Im sure that if I take good care of them they'll last me a long time. Also anything's better than the headphones that I had in my life.

Ignore those shitposters, you bought good headphones.

Don't buy beyers user, there are far superior choice.

Im sure! Im gonna go to sleep now, maybe they'll calm down when I wont be around to respond. Also
You still havent shown me any other better choice in the 5+ posts you've made.

Attached: 663g254.jpg (409x409, 108K)

where are you located

US west coast

you've got to be more specific than that, what city? there is the source AV in LA which has everything

uh I dont wanna dox myself any further
just generally speaking where?

MADE IN GERMANY

hifi audio stores

Not him but do you think if I go to sourceAV and listen to weeb music on the stax, focal and hd800 then not buy anything from them will they get mad at me? Is there more than 20 people there so they are all distracted or its super empty with like 5 people.

Attached: 1547509022678.jpg (777x1024, 276K)

No, the source av owner is chill and friendly with the comnunity

Miku is ignoring me ;_;

they will force you to spend thousands of dollars on cables, dacs and amps, don't do it.

His reddit is like /u/SourceAV or TheSourceAV

I'm getting ignored too by a different user :'(

what does thus have to do with iemg

alright bros I'm starting to regret the Z1R purchase. Some of the highs get to be a bit harsh on my ears :(

There are measurements, I told you to pull down the treble spike with EQ
