stax desu
I'm sorry for the repost:
I'm being a brainlet if I'm using just Spotify on my smartphone to listen some music on my workplace? I got a Sansa clip+ lying on my desk gathering dust from years because I'm a lazy fuck for not being able to download good quality music files. Can I get good sound quality just using Spotify on a phone? Do you guys use some kind of EQ app to compensate some shits? Should I just revive my old Sansa clip+ with rockbox and ditch my phone for music?
I'm using a Mi Mix 2s + Spotify premium on max quality + Tin T3 as earphones. I'll appreciate any suggestions.
>any suggestions
Buy stax
what’s everyone listening with this afternoon

Reminder that hpg is afraid of treble
please advice frens
HD 569 vs Mh752 (basically takstar pro 82) vs audio techinca msr7
And girls
In Spotify there is a setting under Audio Stream where you can select a higher bitrate stream/download quality. By default its Normal which is around 192kbs, you can increase it to Very High quality which is around 320kbps. There is nothing you can do to make it go higher.
msr7
HD 569 are the most comfy, period. More than even the 600's, but they look like hi-fi headphones so you don't want to take them out.

god I wish that were me
They also have excellent isolation, but come with a shitty stock cable (the long one) that causes audiophonics. Had to order a 10€ cable from Aliexpress to minimize it. I never used the short cable that came with it because it was too short.
FIRST FOR STATE OF THE ART

The Official /hpg/ headphone ranking was correct all along.
just bought the 569, did i make a mistake? reddit tells me the sound quality is pretty bad. I already own the 6xx so i'm more focused on comfort and isolation rather than the most premium sound ever.
You should buy STAX and get them anime girl sexy pics.
Their mids are more detailed than Takstar Pro 82's. I've officially demoted the Takstars to beater headphones and don't care if they break.
to fill the hole of depression in my soul. help
Checks out
Who else enjoying TOTL, STATE OF THE ART, SUMMIT FI
>tfw bought a Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless
No regrets. This thread is full of placebofags and elitists.
this changes things
>not premium version
is this how incels meet people?
What’s listening with this Friday evening anons
Something better than that meme trash.
nice amp bro
poor nostax baby must have heard glorious stax a week after spending his life savings on some shitter cans lol
Stop samefagging asshole.
buy stax
its amazing how easy it is to trigger a nostax cuck's buyers remorse.
dont worry im sure if u suck 5 extra cocks a day youll get another chance to purchase stax divinity
me? only the apex of dynamic headphone listening will do tonight
Relaxing
STFU Boomer
>when a nostax peasant hears GLORIOUS STAX right after spending all their money on cuckerdynamics/lelheissers
why would anyone bother with headphones in 2019?
they look silly and are uncomfortable and a burden on your skull.
get iems and loudspeakers instead
Is M50x the new Porta Pro? Everyone seems to be memeing it.
>And then I told them "when a nostax peasant hears GLORIOUS STAX right after spending all their money on cuckerdynamics/lelheissers"
most people here hate them, there's a couple people that own them and nothing else so they meme them
but they usually leave after a thread or two
buy stax :3
I forgot how wise you were
I believed there was no point to those expensive headphones. M50 MASTERRACE. I compared hd650 to focal UTopia and they are SUPER similar. I cant even comprehend how you can charge 4000 when 200 is 99% the way there. Still questioning this, I made a hypothesis: the better headphones will have better not matching the levels or FR, rather, they will have the same trends in the FR despite possibly being different.
OBv. the FOCAL headphones win out on this, so do the audeze 4, akg electrostat
But super surprising, I stumbled upon the positive result for th900 fostex
THESE are "fun" cans. why are the amongst the gods?
FAstforward a couple weeks. someone posted that their th900 driver broke.. and offhandedly mentioned that the driver flutters in a gentle breeze.
picachu.jpg
I thought the driver would be stiff because stiff=good. plus its got a layer of moss on it. Then I recall FOCAL UTOPIA. that driver flutters in the wind because its a COMPOSTE diaphragm. the rubber is super soft.
same with the th900. rubber surround with a mossy disc GLUED to it. Performance: CHECK. Price: DOUBLE CHECK.
What does it mean? it means buying HD800 is figuratively cucking yourself. Buying a dt1990 is taking a dick up your ass. Buying a adx5000 is licking some balls
stay woke folks.
>a burden on your skull
u wot m8?
what are economies of scale user?
Utopia and HD 650 barely sound similar.
BUY STax
Anybody with a tube amp is a fucking idiot.
tired of getting btfo in the /iemg/?
are ad1000x good?
tempted to import as 600s upgrade, they cost $800 here
iems look just as retarded and are harder to tie together with an outfit, not to mention their sound quality to price ratio is utter trash and the ear tips are either 'too small and cause the iem tof all out' or 'large enough to give you skull splitting cramps after 30 minutes of use as they rape the nerves in your ears'
Headphones are superior
I have a pair, i love em, but I've always been a fan of AD series.
They are amazing sounding.
cope
did you compare them to 600s? I mostly like mids, meaning voice,strings and piano not that much into bass or treble
I also hear their soundstage is big, how is positioning within it?
>, meaning voice,strings and piano
If you want that, and all that other clarity for other instruments buy them. You don't miss a single thing with them, regardless of the song. Vocals are beautifully done and something that really stands out.
It's got decent bass but nothing special, hardly any treble.
>I also hear their soundstage is big, how is positioning within it?
Both are great, gaming fags seem to love them for FPS games.
holy fuck, where do you live where the ad1000 costs $800?
Wait people actually buy stax? I thought it was just a meme to get reddit to waste money on chink garbage.
no one actually “buys stax”, they invest in the highest fidelity known to man
if they're buying speakers then why are they in the headphone general :o
Stax are not headphones, Stax are a way of life.
Stax are THEE way of life, a life of high fidelity everlasting praise be upon Yutaka Tagaki San
stax? but you said people were investing in the highest fidelity which would be loudspeakers
*smosh intro*
SHUT.UP.
is it true you get a gf after you buy Stax
RU.
>speakers
>fidelity
cringe
Takes me back
absolutely not
no in fact buying stax makes you a permanent incel. there has never been a documented picture of an attractive person using stax
I realized something. Headphone upgrading doesn't exist. It's all within 10%. and doesn't scale at all with money. It's all flavors and taste flinging.
There is literary no reason to go beyond hd600s tier.
reminder that the god tier producer, bob katz thinks that the lcd4 is the best headphone available, not stax
youtube.com
oh no, the deaf snapheiser peasants are back. BTFO incel, this a stax thread
occidental scum, nobody cares about ameritards
