I'm glad you appreciated the meme. I'll be randomly making very slight tweaks just to awaken and channel the highest autist priests and make them come out of the woodwork.

Beautiful OC

Shut up you discord shitting trannies.

The irony

>What do you like about the HD 650?
nothing special, they're just my current default or go to when i don't feel like using monitors. probably 1st comfort and 2nd they feel pretty neutral and translate nice back to monitors and other headphones. but (while best out of 5 others i've got) they're still pretty narrow or small feeling sound, no matter how loud they go.
guess i'm looking for something more comfortable and bigger sounding?
gonna go demo dt1990 and hd800(s) i guess. and buy hd58x because why not

Is Miku the new queen of /hpg/?

Comfiest pads for mdr-v6? Stock ones are falling apart.

DT1990 is garbage. HD800S and HD58X are pretty good choices.

Maki is the eternal queen of /hpg/

SNAP

Anything but velour if you care about sound quality. Velour scoops the midrange so it fucks with the sound.

Does Miku use walmart brand beats by dre?

lol wtf do you guys do with your shit? i've got decade old stuff in basically perfect condition

he's 300lbs and he sat on his sennheisers once and it broke

Is this an actual product or more like a prototype to showcase sony's technology? Because who the fuck would pay 9k for mp3 player.

Audiophools, the same people that buy STAX, aftermarket cables and magical pebbles.

S N A P

>300lbs
Yep that's a sennheiser owner alright

At least they're not beyer trannies.

>beyer trannies
what in the fuck has this general gone to

As a staxchad, trannies are more pleasing to the eye than a 300lb sennfatty.

>stax
no bass

Same psychological systems are at work here as in consolewar threads.
Aka my brand beats yours

And no soundstage.

Hey, detachable means detachable bucko.

>The soundstage is quite narrow. They do sound open, and there is some soundstage - they aren't playing directly in your ear, but it's really not much compared to for example the Senn HD800. I'd say the soundstage is quite similar to the Senn HD650 (or Senn HD6XX).

only weighs like a pound (without cable)

Yeah STAX Lambdas have ZERO soundstage. It's funny because their owners shit on HD600 owners while having the same problems themselves. If you want soundstage on STAX, you need 007/009.

You forget >cant afford these ones either

Since you wanted to quote him I’ll quote him as well.
>The bass, like everything, is very detailed. It is a little elevated, but not much - enough for me to still consider them balanced. The bass is very extended. Open-back headphones usually have a problem with bass extension, where it starts to roll off quite soon, sometimes as high as 50hz. These however don't do that, they stay loud and clear ALL the way down to where my own personal hearing fails me. The bass is extremely punchy, or "fast" as some people call it.
So much for nobass eh?
>i have never worn a lambda: the post

>Yeah STAX Lambdas have ZERO soundstage
nonsense.

seething

>there is some soundstage - they aren't playing directly in your ear, but it's really not much compared to for example the Senn HD800. I'd say the soundstage is quite similar to the Senn HD650 (or Senn HD6XX).
No fucking way. I'll probably hate stax then :(

post pics of your 009/007 since you seem so experienced with them

You got memed by the shills here.

that's what I thought. post your setup

god you cunts are pathetic with your "my>yours" eternal wars in these generals you know that?
get speakers next time and don't look back

yeah i too hate headphones I can't afford

As a Stax fan, I've repeatedly said that this is the case. You can see it from the FR; it's not really controversial.

>You can see it from the FR
wtf

>worse than KSC75
no thanks lol

You forgot that it doesn't fart, stax farts are annoying as hell.

are you really that impressionable or gullible? it's one review by something using stock L300 pads which are flapjacks. we can get you many impressions which will tell you otherwise

try some 8" monitors 1m away from your face :)

so far trying $1000+ headphones none of them meet my expectations perfectly. I feel like they should at that price point or at least have something close enough
I could afford stax but the issue is what if I hate them and I doubt I would be able to return them.

>how do you do, fellow whites

You don’t even know what a stax fart is. And yes planars do fart as well btw. They use the same fucking technology, what did you expect?

Soundstage is a property of FR, so use ED-1 EQ if you want more soundstageyness.

It's 2019 and audio scientists still haven't figured out how to quantify soundstage.
Why is science so incompetent?

>You can see it from the FR; it's not really controversial.
no, the FR tells you the opposite moron. soundstage is usually recessed upper midrange. the hd600 and harman curves do not have soundstage because they are A shaped. the lambdas are typically halfway between the hd600 and hd800 when it comes to the upper midrange

buy hd800s, you can return it if you think its shit
ed-1 would weaken the soundstage because more 3k response = less soundstage

Stop posting this ED-1 meme, it’s incredibly dull.

>recessed upper midrange.
Talk numbers.

[spoiler]Soundstage isn't real.[/spoiler]

>I could afford stax but the issue is what if I hate them
said no one ever lmao
if we use hd600 as the baseline, the L300 is about -4dB below while the hd800 is about -8dB

it's 2019 and people in this general are still delusional about headphones being able to deliver good soundstage or bass
like, they refuse to accept that tiny magnets next to your ear just won't be able to do some things, literally because of laws of physics

As a stax hater, I eat shit and am fucking retarded. Thoughts?

it’s 2019 and shitposters leftover from the sunken ship that is /ag/ are still delusiona about speakers being better than KSC75.

I literally don't care about soundstage but people spread disinfo about STAX

>stax
no bass
no soundstage
shit build quality
needs a special amp
farts
looks like shit
overpriced audiophool meme
no customer support or warranty
bankrupt company
shit comfort
piercing highs
etched midrange

SEETHING

you forgot the most important one: can't afford

>planars and electrostats are same technology

Attached: 1548208373165.jpg (1218x1015, 212K)

it's 2019 and you still have people in this general defend things they don't even own for god knows what reason

you're right electrostats are strictly superior

I don't know I haven't seen many L300, or L700 reviews. It does feel very limited and sometimes reviews at least based on other headphone reviews I see can sometimes not sound as well as hearing them for yourself. Sometimes they can say "x part is just right" but when I heard them I could say differently.

Somehow I feel like that isn't true.
HD 800s lacked bass when I tested them. I didn't test them on a computer with peace+equalizer APO but I don't know if they would get enough for my test without sounding worse.

They employ the same basic driver design, one just uses static electricity and the other uses magnetics. You’re a fucking idiot if you didn’t realize this.

Hey you guys wanna see my beats?

Argue as much as you like, my HD600 is still the king of objective measurements and performance.

>b-but no bass and soundtage
Keep on posting it retards, I chuckle every time.

then why do they sound so bad?

This is a 3000 dollar IEM.

HD600 is good for what it is.

it has shit imaging too.

hd600 owners on suicide watch

Well, bass is for niggers and soundstage isn't real so HD600 is perfect.

spritzer likes it so it must sound above par.

Why hd600 sound worse than portapro?

Take a shit, put it in a box, label it electrostatic and spritzer will enjoy it.
