I only own the king of bass.

Attached: 20190508_204658.jpg (2016x1512, 676K)

Would you say the bass is better on those than the 770 pro?

Based, 1990s are pretty bassy though.

Yes. It extends low with more power, and is faster. Like, way faster. It's actually kind of jarring how clean the bass is. I had the LCD-2C for a while and they couldn't hold a candle to these in terms of bass quantity and quality. These even beat my Z1Rs in that respect.

Fuck, I just got a pair of 770 Pro because people were raving about the bass.

Surely the earcups arent as magically comfortable, right?

elevated treble recessed mids, that's why I couldn't love them

you know those cost $600, right?
yes they are comfy, clampy though

I just ordered a pair of Hifiman Sundaras
how badly did I fuck up?

Attached: 1553898158379.jpg (530x530, 46K)

Make no mistake, the 770 Pro are still a rocking headphone. Probably my favorite sub-$200 headphone. A better value, too, as the 1770 obviously isn't 4x as good.

>ordered a pair of Hifiman

planars are last decade's fad

Well do they? I have an hd600 myself but no amp. I listened to the recordings and couldn't tell much difference. And apparently this is one of those headphones that has to have an amp.
Are amps just a big meme?

He has potatoes for ears and shit for brains, would trust Zeos over this idiot.

trusting reviews, is this what poorfags do lmao

Zero argument. Zero evidence. Well I guess if you have zero argument then there's really no need for any evidence.
Is this really the world of audiophile fags? Jerking each other off while listening to Taylor swift on thousand dollars systems?

you’ll clearly never know poorfag

Thank god for that. I have better things to do than spend money on things I don't need.

I bet you were bullied as a kid

HEY GUYS ARE AMPS REAL I NEED SOME FUCKING EVIDENCE

amps are just an urban legend

I don't give a single quack what happened to you 5 years ago or your retarded opinion on anything. Go tell your life stories and beliefs to someone who cares.

You shouldn't have to choose: toss them all in the garbage, where they belong.

I’m getting STAX SR-L300 and SRM-252S, 850 euros total. Worth it? Anything better at that price? Does they sound as good as people say?

Can't you get it for much less on audiocubes or ebay?

Ebay only from Japan, so I will have to pay import duties.

depends on importing laws for him. it might be same or more expensive to import yourself.

I'm fighting the same dilemma, to order or not from ebay for $700, I have absolutely no way to listen to them before ordering.

Are you genuinely retarded?

Same here. It’s quite an exotic item here in Italy, but an online retailer strangely sells them for that price.

>Anything better at that price?
No
>Does they sound as good as people say?
Yes

yikes

>Worth it?

how new are you? stax shilling is at least 4 years old.

just click buy and get it over with

I wish I were U

important question, do they touch your ears or cup is free enough not to?

depends on your ears

depends on your head, with the L300 pads they likely will but you can just stuff some foam behind the pads to fix that

wouldn't it murder low fq?

Not as long as there is a seal.

600 cups touch my ears a little after 3 years of use if that tells you anything

no. porting murders bass response, the L300 is ported and needs a seal mod which is easy as shit to do

so tempted, but damn being poor sucks, $700 is no joke I need really to commit
really like the graph too.

If you're in eu don't even think about ebay, you'll surely end up paying more and you need something to change the voltage.
If you're thinking about importing it's worth it by using forwarding/proxy, but not for the basic set, if you want something better or used (for example a used 323s is 30000 yen).

seriously though, buy stax

Not our fault retarded Chinese customers don't read the manual and think their brapping headphones need RMA .
