why not just buy hd600s which are much cheaper and much better??
lol.......

Congratulations for that price you could have bought stax

>stax
No bass.

Do you ever get tired of posting the same bullshit over and over?

lol the 660s is going to snap if you keep it like that
good job though

>Beyertr*nny

Alright since we’re in a new thread I’m gonna come out and say that the Yggy shilling was all shitposting and I’m already bored of it because it’s not even very funny.

They're not better but you'll never figure that out.
hint: use a PEQ
I'm dying to hear the DT1990 and a DT880-600ohm. Have been thinking about abusing a return policy to try one out for a while. I'm not sensitive to treble really only upper mids and use EQ anyway. DT1990 may be open back bass kings.

but then he only has one headphone instead of two and his look much nicer.

>Yggy shilling was all shitposting
We knew. What we, or rather, I, don't know, is whether the gullible guy was part of the shitposting or a third party collateral damage.

its too expensive!

:(

Yeah HD600 is better, DT1990 is garbage and harder to make corrections on. You just sound like one of those parroting audiophools.

My intention was to scam him into buying the overpriced turd and the headphone blower (I even hinted to it multiple times while shilling the Lyr) but apparently he still went ahead and bought a piece of multibit garbage so I consider my results satisfactory.

hey your loss
hd660s drivers take eq far better than hd600 drivers and both need eq to be usable

How important is amp power actually? Do amps really need to be able to output several watts?

:( i thought we were friends

Wrong, they EQ about the same, stop posting pseudoscience bullshit.

i have them right here moron while you have clearly never even tried and are just pulling responses out of your ass to defend your purchase and opinions.

Must be terrifying to be a poor student like sapphire

LCD-2 Classic or DT 1990 Pro for all around desktop usage?

I'm gonna demo them soon and I just want some opinions before I make my own judgement.

Doesn't prove anything you fucking idiot. Back up your claims with evidence.

Literally the same fucking EQ potential. Now fuck off.

Silly boy, I don’t befriend nostaxers.

>Now fuck off.
Sapphire it's not good for your blood pressure to covet the wealth of others

LCD-2 Classic, DT1990 is fucking garbage.

^~,~^ so cute

Cowposting

Yeah, the HD 660 S is overpriced.

Based sapphire dabbing on audiophools with his superior knowledge.

Garbage as in it has the annoying sibilant and only excels at certain genre such as metal and classical?

Same result in the FR, as literally every other headphone he has ever measured with a seal does.
But one sounds like shit and one doesn't.
Once again you have never tried and are just parroting.
>post
>purchase
>rationalization
sure are

Not an argument.

You only have two ears

LCD-2 has a superior stock response and it's better for EQing. DT1990's stock sound is extremely bright and piercing.

What headphones are worth owning?

well like I said your loss
If you are of the opinion that everything capable of producing the harman target after EQ sounds the same why would you suggest the HD600 over the HD58X? Same result, cheaper, clearly the better choice.

>fucking garbage
Like your mom when she needs to pay rent and replace your hd600 pads

Some headphones EQ better with less distortion

So are Audeze

Because he doesn't believe it and feels grief over falling into the hd600 meme. He's a poor student and want others to feel misery

Best place to sell used audiophool headphones? Sbaf? Headfi?

If you're using EQ and want to save money then the HD58X is a better buy. The HD600 just happens to have a superior stock response.
In blind tests listeners have failed to notice any distortion. It's a non-issue unless your headphones have crazy amounts of distortion.
leddit

i don't do audio too good but i hear the hd800 gets even closer to the harman target

Headfi by far

>The HD600 just happens to have a superior stock response.
Lol

wow check that out. vastly better channel matching. I wonder if the EQ settings are for the left channel or the right channel for the HD600?
Different 30 and 300hz square wave, impulse response, and distortion too!?
how odd!
Makes sense.

he has never actually compared the measurements. dont bother

>The HD600 just happens to have a superior stock response.
That would be the 660S

Attached: better2.png (870x1245, 418K)

b-b-but hd600 is objectively the best headphone!
Of course I would say the HD6XX is objectively the best headphone but I bought my HD600 before the HD6XX came out and now that the HD650 is "cheaper" than the HD600 I'll also factor that into my post purchase rationalization.

If you want to buy headphones based on aesthetic buy Beats.

Thanks for showing that the HD600 is indeed superior.

The HD 600 is definitely more neutral. The peak at 4 kHz is really noticeable on the HD 660 S.

On my headphones of choice the beyerdynamic dt880!

Nice those are Beyerdynamic's best headphones.

You''re in too deep user, you're going to fuck yourself up mentally.

>Nice those are Beyerdynamic's best headphones.
No bass.

>No bass.
He said DT880, not STAX.

erotic japanese voice actors have no bass in their voice while they pretend to give you a blow job so no problems here
besides i have a Schiit(tm) Loki to increase the bass response as needed!

He indeed said DT880. Stax does bass.

Link to the voice?

>stax
Flat linear bass response as confirmed by Oratory1990.

If I just need a cheap pair of headphones to last me until I get a job, is it worth waiting for the KSC75s to be shipped or would I be fine just getting something roughly $30 from Best Buy?

Miku~

STAX!

When will you post measurements of a properly sealed stax Sapphire?

Sapphire thrives on pure misinformation and selected graph reading.

Bros help.

I prefer a darker signature but am looking to get one open brighter headphone within about 1000. Should I go for Ananda?

Attached: racist nazi fascism hurricane weather.jpg (960x693, 109K)

KSC75 are so much better than the average lowball $ mall headphone it isn't funny. If your store doesn't have KSC75 or PortaPro don't buy anything.

STAX!

shut the fuck up old man
based scientifically proving stax are nobass garbagr

If st*x is so amazing then how come almost nobody relevant from the audio industry endorses them? How come they have virtually no presence and are a hyper niche product marketed to weebs and ignorant Zeos watchers?

How come they have no distributors in other countries?

How come they had to sell out for a mere million of american dollars to the chinks just to avoid closure?

Attached: STAX incel anime.png (697x929, 971K)

I still don’t see sealed stax measurements

No clue how they sound (anyone got meaurements?) but this headphone is gorgeous.

Attached: hej6vikgtzd21.jpg (7357x4907, 1.51M)

we already answered you, now you're just shitposting

>anyone got meaurements?
it measures like an hd650 with better extension and slightly more of that midbass boost

OH NO NO NO staxbros I think a tiny hair got past the grill

>If st*x is so amazing then how come almost nobody relevant from the audio industry endorses them?
Like the people who do all the audio science studies you keep spamming? They all use Stax. They first EQ'd a headphone to your pet DF target with Stax.
If you mean musicians, nobody worth a salt does the final mix through headphones.

>I love headphones
wtf I thought they wear ear speakers

I guess I'll have to order a pair then. Normally I just go with cheap earbuds but I'm always disappointed. I've heard good things about the KSC75s. Hopefully they're comfortable considering the larger than average head/ears.

Nobody uses STAX except you Zeos virgins.

Big fat midbass hump

notice how he is not an obnoxious faggot about owning stax

That doesn't look too bad. I'm not stuck up enough to out right claim all of his headphones are shit even though I want to. I would like to hear the new one coming out soon for sure.
klipsch hp3 too.
everyone seems to more or less love biodyanmics i dont know why more people aren't testing them out like senn and beyer.
try bright headphone at moderate volume plus muted video for best

He's old, of course accurate headphones like HD600 will sound murky to him.

But STAX is awful.

Is that picture meant to draw negative sentiments? He looks like he'd be fun to share a drink with.

>He's old, of course accurate headphones like HD600 will sound murky to him.
He said the HD800 sounded ear rapey though. You can't have it both ways, sapphire.

I'm curious. Do you really think all of your endless posting has ever impacted any one's purchase decision?
I was reminded about stax, told they were a reasonable price, told about the sealing issues as well as all the arguments against entirely by this thread but your posts are so easy to pick out that I disregard them entirely.
I'll be buying a lambda this year btw.
