Best poorfag stax setup under 300?
elex bro
>sheds a tear
Like it was an Orpheus?
>Realizes can't afford GLORIOUS STAX
Stax aren't that expensive. They're just not good.
>Your probably just have bad hearing.
Nah. I have good hearing, and am a classically trained violinist.
>Demoing in store is also almost useless because of the shitty conditions.
MFW a soundproof auditioning booth is considered shitty conditions now.
No. They're just bad.
fucking neck yourself faggot
Have Stax.
have sex
If you want to be taken seriously, name some headphones that you like. It's easy to just say everything is bad.
>If you want to be taken seriously, name some headphones that you like. It's easy to just say everything is bad.
original post was a valid question based on an user's experience. If staxfags want to be taken seriously then they have to answer all the negative experiences that all the people who tries stax headphones claim to have.
>auditioned various models from woo in ny
>Is it just me, or are stax headphones/ear speakers garbage?
>Why are they so popular on /hpg/?
for me its zmf atticus
>It's easy to just say everything is bad.
it's also funny
>they have to answer all the negative experiences that all the people who tries stax headphones claim to have
X likes some headphones, Y doesn't, what is X supposed to say?
Anyway, my question was what models?
Which stax is garbage compared to what headphones?
Is the Philips Fidelio X2HR a good buy?
specifically this one amazon.com
Only Jow Forums pretends to like stax while everyone else claims to think stax is shit.
Hmm.... Maybe this is why you're supposed to listen to them before you buy.
No
Buy Stax
How much is edifier paying you you low life cum stain, get the fuck off /hpg/ you and your kin literally contribute fucking nothing and have turned this thread into pure cancer. FUCK OFF.
This is how black your soul becomes when you deny yourself the zen-like magic of Stax.
Don't live with a black soul. Have Stax
is schiit amp + d10 a good combo?
I got a Senn 600 for years. Is it worth getting one of those headphone thingies?
meh
So you're just a larping shitposter, probably the usual mad nostaxer incel, thank you for confirming.
>So you're just a larping shitposter
No.
>The state of stax shills.
MFW stax are officially gay now.
>WAAAHHH I CANT AFFORD STAX
>THEY KEEP MAKING FUN OF MY PLEBDROP SNAPHEISSERS
>ITS NOT FAIIIIIRRRRR!!!!!!
>WAAAHHH I CANT AFFORD STAX
Stax can't even afford to make their own original memes.
MFW it's macfag copy pasta.

I mean I have a HD600 and it's really hard to find a straight upgrade from it soooooo.... no?
Guys, I just demoed stax at my local synagogue. They're trash, hd600 is still the king.
hd6xx or hd58x?
I meant the side thingies, not the headphones. The thing you plug the headphones into
i'm about to get a bunch of money for art work and what not and i want some new headphones, what's good that costs around 1,500$ or less?
Guys I just demoed stax at my local Scientology church. How do I tell Xenu that they're complete shit without losing my rank in the galactic federation?
Mr. Speaker ethers
is planar my only choice at this price point?
Was /hpg/ ever good, or was it always what we see in this current thread?
No. There's plenty of choices actually. Best bet is to do a live demo, and figure out which ones you like best in terms of sound, comfort for environment of use.
...
>Was /hpg/ ever good, or was it always what we see in this current thread?
Iirc it was okay for a minute, and then the sennshill ruined it, but then got replaced with the stax shill.
kinda sucks because im in the middle of nowhere and there are no hi-fi stores or anything, so i sadly have to shoot blindfolded. :(
these look good user, how comfy are they?
For me it needs to be the Ergo AMT headphones
not too bad. really hurt the first 2 days but the pads get soft and comfy the more you use them. wool headband cover seals the deal for me.
>kinda sucks because im in the middle of nowhere and there are no hi-fi stores or anything, so i sadly have to shoot blindfolded. :(
Maybe not. A lot of big sellers will let you basically "audition" a pair, and let you send it back until you find something that you like. Some enthusiast forums even had/have loaners, and if you're nuts there's actually some people who would let you try theirs.
DAC/Amp
Amp: Yeah, it depends what you listen to.
If you only listen to studio mastered stuff a HD600 is usually loud enough out of a phone/laptop/whatever but as soon as I/you want to listen to something live or watch a movie it definitely needs an amp.
Best amp in the world right now is a JDS Atom and it's $100 USD.
DAC: Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr maybe.
In terms of sound quality I can reliably ABX my phone and most of my laptops from my DAC but I can't reliably ABX my macbook air from my DAC because apple stuff tends to have pretty good SQ.
If you're gonna but and amp, sure, buy a DAC but only buy one of the $100 ones, like a shit modi/whatever JDS/whatever topping/whatever grace.etc
Most posters in this general are retarded as fuck so don't let them convince you to spend more money than that.
Where in the US can I try these?
MY HOUSE nigga
would you think that these could be comfortably worn while standing up or moving?, i'd also like for them to be a bit "portable" so i can record guitars, drums and what not.
that's very interesting user, thanks for letting me know, i might not be able to go thru this because i literally live close to the antartica but who knows.
City? You like beer?
First for END GAME
What do you listen to bro?
I have a fuck load of experience with headphones but it really depends on the use case.
Closed/Open?
Gaming?
Always start with HD600.
First things first, where are you plugging them?
As much as the Elex is easy to drive, it doesn't even come with an 3.5mm jack, it supposes you're plugging it on an amp.
That being said, at that range, you can get quite a few excellent headphones.
The Elex is neutral, albeit a little forward in my opinion, but with excellent technical abilities. You could also look into the Ananda for better soundstage, and a little more laid back sound. Never heard the Ethers, but their quality control is miles better than that of the Ananda's. All of those are really comfy to use.
warosu.org
Shoo shill.
huh?
I'm basically using my headphones for movies/music/gaming if that matters. Also thanks for the help
>shitposts the same images over and over again
Hurrr
stax
Me? Nah.
this is actually a good post
Stax are for fags
Hey user, what’s listening with this morning?
>Chink wave tier marketing.
This is the power of stax now.
Edifier is up 15 cents. You're doing good work by posting everyday.
I need a pair of headphones which don't sound boring. I need them for techno pop and classical music.
tfw when slightly drunk and listening to nice vocalists on my HD600
this is a good feel boys
huh?
I leaned something, I've learned that amps really do something different on each headphone and on the same ones as well.
yeah okay that's cool nigga but how much money do you want to spend
Buy Stax
well yeah
Solid States: some clip some don't
Tubes: sound warm af and create harmonic resonance/distortion that can be really comfy to listen to
Not sure what to listen with desu
good
now you comprehend the mindset that I have when I recommend anyone who wants to spend more than 300 bucks on headphones to go for a great amp and some cheaper headphones instead of a great pair of headphones
so many choices
>huh

Enjoy re-education camp chink nigger.
with amp: 6xx
no amp: 58x
not a bad thing I suppose
Not only tubes do changes, amps can increase soundstage on closed back headphones.
I've my modded ES10 and combo'd it with LABS EL and it sounds godlike..
ok 1990 with Crack it is
huh?
fuck i love the focal elex on tubes
Redpill me on electrostatic headphones.
el84’s?
agreed
listen cunt you've been posting about your modded ES10 twenty times per thread for a week
i love you but find a wife okay or something you don't need our validation
Bendix 6080WB and GE 5693 'red hot's'
You buy them.
>nice vocalists
Misread that as nine vocalists.
Mildly related: Did you watch Love Live yet?
339?
>Love Live
no, my friend is still yelling at me to watch im@s, i might watch love live after that?
Why would I? You see that staxfaggot spamming his shit all day? Not that I'm endorsing it or him. Also I post posts about ES10 per thread, whats wrong with it? I also replied to you as part of the discussion
>find a wife
Nah I'm fine I don't need 3dpd.
yup
sounds warmer than other tube combos but im liking it
pics?
I wouldn't mind getting an amp, but I already have an audio interface and it's changed how the resolution of sound is from just my laptop audio jack before
no idea how it'd compare to a mobo but I'm good with this for now until I get a PC
hd800s with Woo wa22
Good choice, come home white man.
im@s is a nice idol franchise too.
If it's anime, I do prefer Love Live's, but YMMV. I liked both.
Do look up deresute, mirishita and sif, if you want to try them rhythm games.
i'm just playing with you dude
i'm glad you like your headphones
lets not pretend we wouldn't like wives though okay
How do you like the DT 1990 Pro?
Yes user, follow floor anons example.
