ok so thats a no :(

hmmm

I don't want it to end like this
bring old /hpg/ back

buy stax

I'm not allowed to anymore.

I have HD280's and for the price range they're amazing. The only problem is that I can't walk with them on since they're noise cancelling. Is there anything I can get for walking that matches the quality where I am not fucking deaf at the same time?

the actual general is here:

why two /hpg/ but no /iem/ nor /esg/
what the fuck is going on

?

What headphones do Muslims listen to?

do they?

They listen to explosions through earmuffs.

I need a new headphone for commuting in the metro.

Must have either great passive isolation or great ANC. Price: $500

>tin t2
Bad advice. T3 are superior.

Currently using an AKG Q701 with the Schitt stack.

Any advice for open headphones with a similar or better soundstage, but better bass? Budget would be anywhere up to 600 USD.

you mother's farts

hopefully they will stop bombing them some day

DT990 Pro still perfect after 5 years of intensive daily use. I do recommend

Get a custom fit DM6 (about 350) and a Radstone ES100 (about 100).

Isn't it really bright and painful to listen to?

Topping d30 + Aune X7S for the 6xx
Thoughts?

atom

go with the D50

Also have one for a long time. Just need replacing cable and pads after 2-3 years. Also i'm pretty sensitive to high pitches, so i can safely recommend

Cant afford spending more on this set-up

Not for me. I use them all day like the loser I am and it's never uncomfortable

Figured I'd ask here
there's a semite selling a "brand new" DT 990 Pro on craigslist for 99 bucks. What are the chances it was stolen?

Who cares if it was?

What race is the seller?

Need a new Dac for my balanced headphones. I have a balanced amp, but its connected straight to my PC sound card. What's a good option under $300?

some of us are white
he sounds semitic, but I don't which country it is.

>some of us are white
So am I, but a deal is a deal

There unfortunately aren't many. There is basically the SMSL SU-8, the Gisheli ENOG 2 and the SMSL M300.

one of the /hpg/ is just Stax faggots trying to use is as their shilling base

What are some good earbuds, less than $40 if possible

Buy Stax

cringe

To whoever shilled the HaaFee HD1 (rebrand of the RBH HP2, also exists as the Trandsound ONE and MOOH-BE00BT but that's a bluetooth variant) several threads ago
They're not quite as good as you claimed (aka not as good as the TH-X00) but they're indeed pretty good for a 100-150 bucks pair of closed headphones

Never, shitskin.

SMSL SU-8 V2 is SOTA tier.
get this

Buying stolen wares will grant you nothing and a free trip to the big house.

why do you keep bumping the fake /hpg/?

It's actually no better than the D30. Balanced is a meme, it only matters if the cable are carrying the signal over huge distances.

hd800S or LCD-2?

elex ZEOS prefers it to the clears

>Zeos prefers it

That creatura is literally deaf or trolling or shilling. No way to trust that guys ear.

Attached: instagram women lies.jpg (597x592, 46K)

HD800 if you want a reference tuning or ear rape whenever there are symbals or horns.

LCD-2 if you want to actually enjoy a headphone.

maybe if you're non-white
the cops will just take possession of the stolen goods and keep it for themselves

is this a good one lads

Either one is fine.

As comfy as price can get without sacrificing quality.

Skullcandy Ink'd. The $20 kind. All I've ever used and liked for five years.

It is because it's free from the IMD plaguing the D30. And it supports DSD and higher bitrates

>>/iemg/

Get the TFZ X1E. Can get it for around $100, its wireless and comfy.

The E version is a filthy dynamic. Get the X1 instead

What is it with poorfags who insists on wasting their money?

It's how they cope with being unable to afford stax.

Stop samefagging Stax shill

X1 is worse. Tried both.

>spend hundreds on your headphones
>listen to them through a towel

What's the difference between DACs? Is it just snakeoil or do they actually sound different?

or the majority of sales, as DAC inplementations start to equalize in terms of performance due to OEM DAC chip makers. The only thing left in terms of competitive edge will eventually be everything except performance.

AMPs (especially power amps for speakers as well) are still safe from this ordeal it seems for a little while longer. Though if makers finally took the hint and start borrowing or attempt to implement their own versions of the sort of “diff” feed forward correction that THX has pioneered into the market, amps too may follow this trend as well. Though amps can always default to then offering more and more power(again mainly for speakers), so they still have some wiggle room in terms of squeezing people for their money on things other than distortion performance in the consumer mainstream market.

As you can see the trends upcoming - folks like Topping and SMSL aren’t sleeping on this. The DX7 Pro that should land in two months, already has Bluetooth 5.0 (a nearly useless feature from all the reading I’ve done when it comes to audio, aside from maybe non obstructed line of sight range being drastically increased, and support for LDAC codec). It comes also with both balanced XLR, and a 2.5mm balanced (don’t recall seeing this on anything other than DAPs). A small footprint especially with the feature set, etc...

Isn't there the Topping D70 coming up? Why is it like twice the cost of the D50?

D70 is balls to the wall though.

It's using a worse DAC chip than the D50. The only thing it's got is the balanced connection, but unless you're putting your DAC 50 feet away from the amp this is pointless.

There's more to a dac than the chip

The DAC chip is what concerns the digital stream to analog signal. It's the most important part.

I need a closed headphone that is comfy but has huge soundstage and great imaging. Price no consideration what's the best there is?

STAX 4070

Best would probably be the ZMF Atticus

who else /l300 + l700 pads + seal mod/
so comfy

why is he so butthurt?

DMS and Joshua also liked the Elex a lot.
I'm thinking about getting one, since the LCD-2C have that gigantic roll off in the highs and the Ananda has Hifiman's infamous QC issues.

Lmfao at Stax faggots getting so destroyed in that thread they have to try and send their Stax incel buddies to damage control

Elex is quite good. But is super dynamic, which isn't pleasant to listen to for long periods.

Also fix those scratches m89

>closed headphones
>huge soundstage
one of those is not like the other.

FiiO K3
I live alone without pets so I'm not sure how those scratches got there, so I'm going to leave them out of respect.

What song is everyone listening to on their STAX?

Why has the M*slim girl covered her ears with that rag and then wore the headphones over it? Why not remove the rag for max comfy?
