/hpg/ - Headphone General

well when you specifically spend extra money to get it to your house in two business days and it takes longer than that, how can you not expect someone to be pissed about it you fucking shill

What are the best headphones I can get for $300? Can you also recommend a good DAC?

Are there any headphones in the 300$ range which are better at mid range than the HD 600?

also

Precisely. Who the fuck pays extra because they can't wait another day?

people who aren't poor retards like you I'm afraid

Holy crap that measures way flatter than I thought it would. Of course the unsealed L300 would lack bass but that's some pretty insane neutrality in the treble.

I am really missing sapphire and the autism spatsing around the hd600. The stax routine is getting even more stale.

Why do you hate budget headphones?

Define budget.

Budget: poorfag

I think this is the lowest distortion in the mids/treble rtings has ever measured. Imagine how amazing the overall rating would be if it were sealed.

Should I get the HD 6XXs for $200? Are there better cans at this price point?

Don't forget getting electrocuted and getting sweat on the diaphragm, ruining the shitsound even more.

>In the years that I have had Stax, I haven’t needed to look to other phones except for other applications. I have a portable driver for the Lambda’s or the SR-003’s and I do take them out. It is heavy but “worth the weight”. I have not needed to listen to other high end phones because the Stax are entirely satisfactory.

These fucking head fi cucks.

Getting your ear warm isn't a good thing for long term listening session. For comparison HD600 got 7.2 for breathability.

>shitsound
But even the lowest end model is perfectly neutral after seal mod.

Stax breath less than a closed headphone like the QC35. LOL.

what exactly were you expecting?

>Imagine how amazing the overall rating would be if it were sealed.
I told them to seal it, and they said they would. But they didn't, or haven't yet.

Nothing touches the HD600 at that price point for a neutral response.

hahahahahaha

What does it smell like hpg?

smells like cowposting

So the 'no. fucking. bass.' meme was true after all...

So cute!
But I still hate pepes.

it's okay to like both user

To sum it up on stax:

no bass
poor comfort and your ears will get very hot
poor build quality
no bass
needs a special amp thus raising the cost

did i mention no bass?

it's actually more the opposite. as volume increases distortion actually GETS LOWER
>Also, there is a drop in distortion at 100dB SPL, which could be due to the flexibility of the drivers under heavier loads.

after a seal mod it will out perform other open backs when it comes to bass response

do you guys want to see my headphones or not?
why am I not getting more (you)s

You bought a bunch of crap nobody cares

should I buy Stax then?

I only want to hear about your HD700 ear rape experience. I don't need more pictures of the plastic junk, I only want your tears and buyer's remorse.

Post more semi lewd anime feet+headphones

If you want (you)s from butthurt people absolutely

What's the greatest headphones that make you eargasm. Price doesnt matter to me. Please give me suggestions. I like rock n roll. So I would like all the instruments to be prominent. I want in-ear, on-ear hurt my ears. By ears are big

metal-fi.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=58
> you want well extended but neutral to give weight to downtuned guitars and recessed kicks along with a slightly rolled off to neutral treble as let's be honest most metal is poorly recorded, mixed, and mastered and you don't want those cymbals to feel like a pencil in your ear. Not just Darkthrone and Burzum micing his amp with a telephone headset, even the old dynamic Iron Maiden albums. Having dynamic range and instrumental space doesn't mean it was well produced. Classic Motorhead sounds like it was recorded with one compressor mic in a bathroom.
>Sennheiser HD 650. The "silver driver" retuning is not that veiled anymore. Still has the boosted bass compared to the 600. No raised presence region and lower treble emphasis makes this better than than the 600 but it's darker, warmer, bassier, and the high end bite of many metal records gets ruined. Getting a better pair of open headphones than the HD 6XX series will require a lot of money, effort, and design trade offs.

How do we solve the Anime problem in headphone community?

Is that including the Massdrop HD6XX (which is much fucking cheaper) or just the main HD6XX series? It's a bit harder to find 600/650s for my budget unless I buy used.

reminder that Stax is no longer a Japanese company.

Figures HeadFi is shilling Stax.

akg k712 pro
would you like to see mine?

Massdrop HD6XX is the same headphone as the HD650 with just a different cable, coat of paint and customer support, along with lack of convenience (massdrop shipping vs amazon superb and immediate shipping)
Same plastic housing, same headphone driver.

Interesting, I was under the impression the 6XX was tweaked a bit sound-wise. I'll check that out then, thanks.

>100% distortion
STAX confirmed for distorted pieces of shit

wtf that shitposter somehow got me and I no longer want my very own pair of STAX earspeakers
and not even kidding

The one that isn't related to a retail headphone is the HD58X, not the HD6XX.
