Hi Jesus, I don't need lawnmowing this week so you don't have to come.

Oratory's measuring rig must have bad seals because every headphone he measures has /nobass/

Even the ones I've tried that have good sub bass

You mean there are people here who don't own stax? Fucking lol, how do they even cope?

>Mk2
Ew

Watch as anons who cannot read a logarithmic scale say this is nobass

Basically but in order to get linear bass you gotta seal it

I want to fuck the shit out of her

Excellent OP. The last few OPs were pure fucking garbage with retarded /iemg/ shilling and stupid fucking YouTube videos.

>stupid fucking YouTube
so the guy who bitched so hard about iemg was also an audiofool all along
it makes sense

imagine headphones

imagine all the people

imagine being the retard who posts on /hpg/ every day

Imagine buying headphones with no bass aka stax

Stax have perfect, accurate and neutral linear bass.

>HD600
Perfect, accurate and neutral linear bass.

Upgrade paths from stax?

Better stax or speakers

any mid-fi headphones will be better than stax

selling your stax to afford food and then seething 24/7 on /hpg/ as a yottacel nostaxer

They look kinda tasteless imo.
Where do they assemble the headphones? In some slav country?
Then the prices are way too high.

Imagine not being man enough to listen to this on your beyers while looking down the sennheiser and stax incels.

B-but I already did that!

Stax sound full, natural, and neutral.

I just poured 125mw into cans with a specified capacity of 100mw. Will those 1-2 seconds hurt the drivers? I'm paranoid.

dope

Aye what Energizer are you using

Just the 252s. I'll compare it directly to my standard L300 which I will dub the L1000 because it has L700 pads and headband

Attached: 20190220_171043-1.jpg (2800x1786, 677K)

Lol be sure to also put the L700 pass on the LE

I'm sad I didn't get recurring digits on mine but atleast I got 252

>Audeze invented mini xlr

How feasible are driver swaps? I’m considering putting some good drivers into a pair of headphones with really good isolation so I can get what I want. Seems like a basic project. Anyone here done it?

So far the bass is a direct upgrade from the L300LE to the L1000, even though the L1000 has a better seal. Need to find a way to seal the L300LE

>pay 1k+ for headphones
>have to mod anyway
quality service, quality product

just go away you retard. you can buy a $1k phone and it works fine, better than most, but choosing to mod it with custom roms to make it better is up to you.

I prefer my headphones to be shitty and overpriced with no option of improvement

No need actually. Just put the L700 pads and now I have my seal

They arent $1k but nice try anyway

literal retards who can't understand that an unmodded gimped stax still shits on their headphones for half the price

Point is you can mod cheaper headphones to sound like more expensive. You can also DIY.
It just takes your time.

The point of more expensive brand headphones is to be perfect as is, hence the price.
You pay for the name and quality associated with it.
Putting ugly foam and tinkering with an expensive product makes paying large amounts of money for it stupid and pointless.

see you don't have to do it. also, 5 minutes of mine time for linear bass is well worth it

Still missing the point. You can make the perfect pair yourself even. Paying much less money, but spending time.

Always I here in this thread that STAX are perfect and awesome.
Turns out they are not. Sure, they may be better than less expensive phones but the opposite may be true too, since you can improve on anything given time and experience.

Beats > Stax

fuck off out of this thread and board. this is Jow Forums for technology where we aren't afraid to tinker with things

Can't hear you over the screeching.

This. My headphones should sound like shit and any option for modding should be taken away from me because I am a baby and unable to think for myself.

>stax
>no bass

pick one

Seeing how many stax owners are here now.
I'd like to hear what the fuss is about, which model is cheap enough to get an impression and not pay 5, 10, 15k or more?
Also, why the meme about no bass? Does it have to do with the headphones being electrostatic?

No one here actually own Stax retard

Which headphones are the comfiest
