Can nobass posters post songs that require bass to be enjoyed so we can all laugh at them?

I don't see a picture of your mom?

when will nostaxers come back to reality? the impressions of stax are always the same: they are the most clear and transparent sounding headphones that make everything else sound like mud. how many more skeptics and anons do we need to audition stax?

>buy harsh headphone with artificial detail
>makes neutral headphone sound muddy
No shit, a sharpened picture provides better detail than the original image.

what's with the obsession of stax and hd600 in these generals? first is an overpriced nearly snakeoil tier product, latter is nothing special surpassed by hd650

sennheiser at the top while stax is at the bottom. I knew stax was a shitty meme.

HD600 is the most neutral headphone that money can buy. STAX virgins feel threatened by its existence and low cost of attainment.

stax are simultaneously detailed while also being neutral and fatigue/sibilant free :^)

it's something you can't comprehend until you hear them for yourself

it's not though.. hd650 is better

What's the best unidirectional headset i can buy? about to start working from home and i dont need the noise from my kids to seep through.

desu the hd600 is surpassed by... pretty much everything i own
koss ksc75, tfz 5, echo tds-16, stax 404,
kind of sad that it gets memed so hard. they genuinely suck.

NO STOP
SHUT UP
HD600 are neutral, NEUTRAL, how could ANYTHING be better than them!

Wrong, HD650 is the more colored version of the HD600, thus being an inferior model.

it's like two retards constantly spamming stax or hd600 shit forever now for some fucking impossible to understand reason

When will STAX learn from the superior German engineering team at Sennheiser?

Attached: 1549590023865.png (716x942, 235K)

You can't hear distortion in under normal listening volume. If you hear clipping it's most likely the music itself. Distortion is a meme and inaudible.

desu i may turn into a staxposter now that i've tried them.
isnt sennheiser irish? beyer is german iirc.

>being this desperate
it's been 7 years sapphire, give up already.

7 years and no headphone manufacturer has released a product that is better than the HD600. Based Sapphire.

Koss KSC75, also the Porta Pro

I'm looking for something, that reduces sound, either actively or passively. I'm often in scenarios where I'm in my room, and the roommates are playing music or TV and I can hear it through the door a bit. Or there's construciton outside, so on...

I've tried the Boss active noise cancelation headphones before and it seems a bit expensive for what it is, wondering if something else can get the job done.

i have dt235s and they are actually kind of amazing for baby's first headphones.

What's it like being poor? kek

Pretty sure you can return anything on Amazon.

pajeets and their dumb bollywood movies. How tf does that work?

Too bad they measure like shit though.

good thing they sound amazing and make the science of comp curves look like a joke

desu the only valid meme i see about stax is the l300 fr graph.
without doing the $5 mod it does show the effect unsealed stax have on bass response and overall sound

You can't return thing that weight over 20lb. So you can't return 20 pound of pussy and ass.

m-muh graphs

imagine posting the same tripe for so many years

I bought and returned an air conditioner.

Imagine using darky themes.

Oh I'm sorry. Cool kid with his reddit spacing has an archive from the 2010s. This is a real oldfag guys.

you both should kiss.

What are the best headphones for long flights?

I tried EQing my Z1R to that target last night and it sounded fucking horrible.

Edifier w860bt

Cheap, look pretty nice, super comfy, pretty good anc, can connect to 2 devices.

The only thing about them that some people dislike is that they have touch controls.
If thats a total dealbreaker for you there is the edifier 830's which are the same headphones but have physical buttons, only have passive noise cancellation, but they do come with a stupidly high battery of like 85 hours or something like that.

i want to use hd800S with my television, what would be the best way to do this? i'm saving in the meantime for speaker setup and will have that implemented when i don't have to worry about neighbors, i live in an apartment. i'm about to buy the schitt jotenheim but the dac is only usb in, should i get the modi3 instead of getting a dac for the jotenheim amp? modi3 would be able to connect tv via spdif to the modi3 to jotenheim via rca and 800S via xlr. i don't know what i'm doing. send help

Attached: hd800S.jpg (1280x720, 204K)

schiit is the best, dont let anyone tell you otherwise

Miku is my wife

schiit is amazing, you should get a lyra as well and a yggy

t. nobass staxcel

he said stax not HD600

sorry meant lyr 3. it’s their best value for money amp, blows everything else out. definitely get it

If you're messing with TVs then you generally want to use av equipment.

me
so this would work? why would anyone pick the dac with the jotenheim when purchasing rather than getting a modi3 instead for the more inputs? they would be the same price. the options for the jotenheim on its page just gets usb
