heavily considering pulling the trigger on the 003 + CES-A1
should i do it lads

>STAX
no bass

he said stax not HD600

>HD600
Nobody mentioned HD600. You're obviously buttblasted.

feet

yes you did, you clearly said nobass in

What do you want them for? Do you already have stax? Are you getting the combo with the SRM-253 or were you interested in the portable amps?

I'd say yes but I stress caution because they made me immediately start looking towards wanting to buy some lambdas

do it

for memes
yes, L700. likely lambda pro in the future as well or should i get that first?
idk i might get a portable amp in the future if they make one that’s not shit.

the 003 + srm-252 is actually a good entry to stax IMO, but if you already have the L700 I say go for it still.

Where is nikita when you need him. These stax audiophools are shitting up my general.

tbqh i’m stuck between getting a vintage lambda pro or the 003. i feel like the lambda pro may be slightly more practical on basis that it’s unique sounding and unlike other headphones.

>These stax audiophools are shitting up my general.
the only thing nikita accomplished was getting more people to buy stax

sapphire you don’t own this general. you don’t own anything aside from HD600 and ER4SR mudcannons

the sr-003 + CES-A1 will be way more practical considering it's closed back and warm sounding complement

Damn, sapphire has great taste in headphones and IEMs. What a based user.

hmm yeah i might do that then. and the CES-A1 fixes the stock tips being dogshit right?

I want her to be my wife!

referring to oneself in third person is a sign of schizophrenia sapphire

sapphire...

now that the dust has settled, someone explain to me why my hd600 sound like dogshit

>and the CES-A1 fixes the stock tips being dogshit right?
yeap. those are my ears though obviously so ymmv but theres two different size tips. this is coming from someone who HATES IEMS because insertion is time consuming and a pain.

because they’re 20 year old memephones that sounded good back when they came out but sound like shit now.

STOP NOT POSTING FEET. I WANT TO SEE ANIME GIRL FEET N O W

a lot of modern music relies on bass to carry the song are are poorly mastered, the result is that the nobass, screechy HD600 is no ideal to listen to it

Who is sapphire? Why everybody wants to be him?

how's the bass on them?

As a HD600 owner, I ain't even mad when yall call my headphones shit, in fact it causes me to enjoy them more. Why? Because you faggots are always buying overpriced colored garbage and are never happy with anything. Stay mad, audiophools.

no one wants to be him.

>Why?
because you can’t afford anything more?

I'm dubbing it the 'HD600 hate syndrome'. HD600 is the best measuring headphone that money can buy right now but audiophools hate it because it makes their overpriced garbage look like shit (DT1990 for example). Hating it and calling it muddy, no bass, etc. is just a way for them to show their remorse.

more like snapheiser’s remorse syndrome lmao

Is the HD800S EQ guy who helped me the other day here? I'm thinking about picking up an L700 now haha

I have the original sr-001mk2. they updated the 002 with a lighter diaphragm much like how the 007 was heavier and the L700/009 much lighter. I can't really give you reliable impressions, mine may be warmer or the newer black one might be. dunno. bass is great though as long as you have a seal. linear just like any other sealed stax. the portables in general are a bit warmer than the lambdas so they actually are a bit more balanced sounding.

You can see the first sign of HD600 hate syndrome in this thread here, when someone says a STAX headphone has no bass here they immediately reply with .

lmfao snapshitters fucking destroyed

I recommend bose qc35.

but you’ve never heard either sapphire

Why is she all over Jow Forums these days?

Everyone talks about him seems like envy to me

tits, ass, feet, headphones. also, OP is a fag

everyone talks about chrischan but no one envies him.

I've been called Sapphire every thread it seems and I don't even own senns, kek.

lol I've been called beyer tranny every thread yet I don't own any beyers

Is sapphire even real?

>a staxbro helps a sennbro to improve fidelity
reminder that nostaxers (*cough* sapphire) are just dead weight who give bad advice

yes, he’s in this thread right now shitposting

about as real as soundstage

ok now that we've established why hd600 sound like shit can someone explain to me why people keep buying them

>about as real as soundstage
so basically a useless metric for buying headphones

poorfags gonna poorfag

I know this is a bait post, but people buy them because it's neutral. Literally that's it.

>why people keep buying them

Attached: 1546572375835.jpg (1200x1153, 206K)

neutral sound like shit? wtf I thought neutral was a good thing

but neutrality is a myth especially on headphones?

Accurate bass response []
Accurate midrange response []
Accurate treble response that's neither veiled nor bright []

Fuck i fucked up, welp. Looks like I dug my own grave. Laugh at me.

funny none of those boxes are ticked, truly the HD600 is good for nothing.

at least you have the balls to leave the post up instead of deleting it like a pussy

You guys won for today, but tomorrow I'll be back again.

I knew there was a good reason I liked you

TIL harman prefers deaf boomer treble and >nobass

What is this?

FR graphs of stax

glorious harmon kardon trying to make everything sound like dt770

The lack of upper midrange disturbes me.

Attached: STAX SR-404 - ed-1 eq raw.png (640x444, 43K)

wow this looks great, how much it cost?

i missed u brushy ;-;

In english

excluding shipping, which i'll find out when it gets to the warehouse, $386
i'll also have to grab a step-down transformer and some cheap rca cables, but that's a non-issue.
another 36 bucks for a 500w powerbrite and it'll look sexy af in my stereo, and like 8 bucks for cables.

ayyeeee my boy welcome to the stax gang though the SRM-1 MK2 is meh it can be upgraded in the future though and may need a recap since mid 80s tech. hurry and get back
in contact with me I need to get an IRC client
Btw isn't me Im the real deal and I've been missing you as well

ear speaker general

not as bad as lack of bass or treble on hd600

Listen I told you avoid the cheap transformers and get one like me

ye i was worried i screwed the pooch on the amp
people kept saying just get whatever so i did lol
it's mid 80s-1992 so it could be slightly newer in its defence lol

ye i was looking at transformers and that one seemed like the general one to use
idk what makes a "good" transformer ;o;

old /hpg/ - valued graphs, understood that different signatures can be enjoyed, elegant shitposting and fresh memes every general

nu-/hpg/ - anti sennheiser shitposting, hating on objective data, stax audiophoolry, rejects from Jow Forumsheadphones and SBAF that shill trash like zmf and mr.speakers, same old stale shitposting - stax vs beyer vs senn, degenerate trannies

old /hpg/ became nu/hpg/ because of you sapphire
