Which open-back headphones do you like /hpg/?

>chink watermark on the first art
>artists not credited

wow, even that is enough to make you butthurt?
jeez

Not butthurt, just pointing out obvious.
STAX should commission more art to increase popularity and awareness. Cute manga and idols wearing various Stax!

>it's okay to plagiarize when Stax do it!
The absolute state of stax, no wonder they went bankrupt.

omg those poor artists :(

oh noes the poor artists how will they survive without stax crediting them :(((

>not posting Miku
You disgust me

>Posting any of the 5 retard sisters

Sisters? There is only one Miku.

Something that isn't made by Apple, Sony or Jew.

>or jew
so nothing then

Are all phones made by jew?

At this price the 58X & dt880 are the only good things i can recommend.

>dt880
32 OHM or 250 OHM?

>Anime toddies

unironically takstar pro 82. Those things are absolutely ridiculous in the comfort department. There's also the oneodio studio pro if you want a daily beater for on the go.

washed pads on 600s,while it's drying using JBL t90 in-ears with NFB 11.28
headphones are a scam. will never spend more than $100 on headphones ever again. t90s cost me $12 btw.
the only problem with them is positioning, it's obviously less than with 600s

yes

I don't like sticking things inside my earholes

OH NO NO NO NO NO

Have you heard the news? Stax SR-009 was rated lower than AKG K701 in blind listening tests.

LOL, even the best Stax headphones sound worse than some mid-fi cans.

Only homos care about Stax or post about em

okay, tested them on more complex stuff, they can't handle more than 2 singers. midrange is too low, fine for radio and mp3 player, not so good for dekstop listening.

LOL, even the best Snapheiser shitphones sound worse than some dollar store earbuds.

beyerdynamic DT 880 Premium 600 any good for vocaloid shit?

80ohm

what about your butthole?

Ew non detachable cables.

Does anybody use the HD25?
I've had mine for 15 years. Just had to replace the cable. $15. They are build like a tank. Sound is alright too, but they are not really something you can wear 24/7 really. I don't know if they are the same quality nowadays. To me they sort of are like a big companion to the koss porta pro.

>Ew non detachable cables.

hd25 is more for news announcer and dj since it isolates noise. Koss porta pro doesn't isolate and it leaks sound.

they are detachable. Every part is.

In the same way humans are detachable I guess.

Honestly the reason I don't buy stax. They need to make a short cord verison, why the fuck do you need 8 feet of cable for?

>why the fuck do you need 8 feet of cable for?
It's called "work", fag

those are some shitty ass cables.

No professional master music with stax retard. Unless by work you mean sucking Mr. Goldstein in the next room.

Looking to buy some budget earphones, mostly for listening to audiobooks/podcasts while doing cardio, but occasionally also for music.
As a HD650 user, I like clean basses. Obviously earphones can't measure up to that, but a few years back people on here recommended the KZ ATE earphones and I thought they were pretty great. Sadly I lost them.
Is there anything better out there, at a price point up to $30, or should I just rebuy them?

Long shot since this is Jow Forums but what do you guys use when training/going to the gym?

Ey /hpg/ your memes suck. You fucks should buy the sony mh755 and be amazed at the sound you can get for 5 bucks. Then you can finally have some new memes you can piss off each other with cause your old ones aren't entertaining me anymore. The mud and stax being worse than mid-fi posting is fucking boring now.

Mixing on murky. Urgh.

Yikes, so this is the HD600...

Can I get an honest opinion on DT 1990 Pro?
So many conflicting opinions regarding to its sibilant/highs and whether to use EQ or not.

My local audio shop is having a clearance and they're selling it for $600 AUD (around $420 US)

Very tempting.

it’s almost like it’s a polarizing headphone so the only way to know is to demo it yourself

Too bloody expensive for nothing, and don't buy from headphonic, that guy is barefooted, rude, and antistax

Wow the headphonic guys is based.

An obese magenta haired pigess is also an employee.

He said antistax not antiHD600

Did she trigger you when she said no to you?

>sapphire defending tumblr land whales now
Absolute state

The guy likes grado/alessandro. He sold senns but always crapped on them and held them off from recommended category. He and the forum were of the view that Stax are novelty toys to be tried once at a meet.

>sapphire calling gradofags based now
ABSOLUTE STATE

His no.1 top headphone was MS Pro / Grado RS1

Am I alone here in that I have been using this one setup for +10 years and don't really feel the need for anything else? Am I missing out on something that I don't realize? If so, then what is it that I'm missing and why? I get a lot of enjoyment out of this setup, I just don't know if it's worth it to buy more headphones and experience music any differently.

woah congrats dude you’re so special here you go a (You)

>He and the forum were of the view that Stax are novelty toys to be tried once at a meet.
Woke

They are detachable.

so woke that he hated snapshitters

I tried EQing down the supposed "treble spike" but I like them as they are more. Also tried harmantardon EQ presets from oratory1990 but they just make the sound muddy. Literally no issues by default.

>Also tried harmantardon EQ presets from oratory1990 but they just make the sound muddy. Literally no issues by default.
Oratory in a nutshell

I didn't even mean more "neutral" but just plain muddy. Details die out and it's like I'm using some budget shitphones.

>midly interested in stax
>the more relentless stax shilling I witness, the less I care
有限会社スタックス needs a new marketing team.

What if it's all reverse psychology to make you buy beyers?

Reminder that the only reason people even talk about stax anymore outside of recs where it fits is because of the antistax spammers.

Guess what comes today

Lol imagine even needing headphones when you can perfectly recreate music in your head

Fuck off 404 countryman

lol if you buy shitty sounding uncomfortable cykaphones just for the novelty factor

Obscure headphones that try to employ ambitious technology but ultimately fall ever so slightly short.

HHHMMMMMMMM

I always have a hard time holding myself back.

There's no microphone general, how bad did I fuck up on buying a 30 dollar Purple Panda Lav mic? I just wanted a significant non expensive upgrade to my oculus rift mic.

they sound better than Audeze

>tfw nosrax

I had the same hesitation because of the same thing. Just try a pair. I demo’ed a set at a local audio shop and bought them immediately.
