First for SUMMIT FI
buy stax
Well user, what are you listening with this evening?
Something significantly cheaper and better
for me its zmf atticus
oh, is it a secret or something
I’m trying to decide between these.
Please post something with a removable 3.5mm cable and under £100
The left driver in my K701s died and I went looking for a replacement driver. Turns out, no one sells the K701 driver anymore, not even AKG. They do sell the K702 driver though.
Would this work in my K701? Would it sound any different? If so, should I get two drivers then and replace both the left and right?
Buy 2 K702 drivers, it'll sound different if you don't pair them.
Anyone try the beyer amirons? They look really neat and I hear they got a smooth sound profile.
You sure it's the whole driver?
IIRC The left side connections are prone to wearing out. I had this with the K702, and I think it was the left side as well. I just needed to resolder the connection.
Disappear.
need to replace my ATH-M50s
what should i upgrade to? needs to be as anime as possible
ATH-AD2000X or stax L700
Days almost over user. What’s listening with?
Anyone have experience swapping stock L300 with L700 pads? Or the cheapo Vesper ones? How did it affect the sound?
can you explain this autism
hey closed backs ain’t the end of the world
ignore him
>>Budget
$1000-1500
>>Source
Bifrost Uber
No amp atm but open to suggestions $500-$1000
>Type of headphone
Open to both dynamic and planar. Electrostats seem iffy
>>Open or closed
Definitely Open
>>Comfort level
Sound is all that matters
>>Sound signature
Don't really care much about bass. Would like something with very clear mids and non abrasive treble. A wide sound-stage and great clarity is a must.
>>Past headphones
Ath-m50s, AKG Q701's, Hifman HE-500
>cant afford chad status
is the 1990 too sibilant?
Did I stutter?
L700 + 252s/353x
>Electrostats seem iffy
Oh ok enjoy staying in mid-fi hell
L700 is trash In fact im planning on trying to buy a Lambda Normal Bias to Complement my SR-Sigma
Where'd you get that HPS-1?
yikes
internet places
Sendyaudio Aiva have the best clarity. They are Planar and sound pretty fucking great and only cost 600 dollar.
For an amp just get the Atom. No reason to pay big bucks, unless you need an extremely powerful one
>fell for the physical media meme
Get with the times grandpa. Much easier to go digital with private trackers and checking Steve Hoffman forums to make sure you aren't downloading improperly mastered garbage.
imagine using totl equipment to listen to ilegally downloaded music.
stop being poor!
No, wouldn’t say that.
I will admit I’ve always been fond of Steve Hoffman’s hairdo’s.
the best closed back
what’s listening with at this particular time, user?
>non-detachable gen
I remember when /hpg/ was making fun of indo user and canadian user when they were shilling hard for stax stuff a couple of years back and now they are the default recommendation here. It's crazy how opinions change so fast.
these sound like shit
buy stax and experience for yourself why Stax are the reference all other TOTL headphones are compared to
they sound good, the perfect closed backs
they are the ones who constantly spam and shill stax right now, they just removed their trip codes
Are they any good for games.
I have 650 now, and they are not even from this universe.. wewlad
If you arent using stax youre fucking up homie
hello friends I have been using a pair of beyer dt880s for the past few years and im thinking of moving on to something else
any recos?
budget: no budget
source:desktop pc
type: I prefer closed or semi-closed (like dt880) phones, and also prefer traditional diaphragm/dynamic drivers
comfort level: any
sound sig: I actually prefer dt990 sound sig but I'm okay with a little EQ similar to what im doing with my dt880, mainly for subbass and bass
My main portable daily drivers are AKG n40s, so any headphones that match those in sound sig will be great
elex stop bullshitting around
who said 650 doesn't have bass? the bass in their is beautiful!
beyerdynamic t5p 2nd gen
whos elex?
some shitty headphones, 650 are better
You know what? Thank god for EQs. Just wanted to say that. Thanks, user a few threads back (maybe) who told me to use EQing for my hifimans
650 are truly greatest headphones ever made, I made the right decision
>650 are truly greatest headphones ever made
Wrong.
>I made the right decision
Wrong again.
>my taste > your taste
You are wrong
Get in here, let's discuss how to get rid of Stax posters. No Stax fags allowed, I said no Stax faggots allowed, you Chinese cunts.
>incredible sub bass extension
>Looking at OP
ehm
>You are wrong
Boom! Another mistake. WRONG.
I know that you are wrong, wrongster. I know that you love 650, lovsterru
Buy schiit!
I don't know anything about audio stuff and I'm not an audiophile by any means. I was thinking of buying Sennheiser HD 599, but it doesn't come with a 3.5 cable. Does it matter what kind of adapter get for it? Just grab whatever?
Also taking other suggestions for general use headphones below 200 price range. I listen to all kinds of music and game a lot but I'm more concerned about music than game sounds. Comfort is also important.
Have /hpg/ answered the eternal question: HD600 of closed-backs?
uh yeah sure why get a 599 when you can get a massdrop 58X?
DT880 or spend the extra dosh on K712?
i paid £137 for my X2s but they're worth it and have a removable 3.5mm cable.
if you want closed back then you might get a pair of beyers for that.
...
hd600 used to be endgame for /hpg/ and now it's entry level
I don't get it
are there any good headphones for 131 united states currency papers? I can also buy an amplifier for another 131
Nope
Staxnigger got tired of his stax so he turned into elex spamming
What’s listening with this morning user?
How do i burn in?
With a lighter
gladly
DT880 are semi-open on paper but are pretty much open in practice, unless you really want the isolation on a closed-back i'd simply go for open, there will be more options.
With that said, DT1990 is a good bet.
another thread, another victory for stax
Not sure about "HD600", but DT250 is the closest to neutral you will get.
DT880.
another thread, another victory for audio techniqa
So user, it’s afternoon already! What’s upon your head?
they both increase bass and soundstage, upper treble seems to go down a bit, seal mod increases the bass even more and is pretty much a must regardless of what pads you use
HD 660S or Amiron Home for Mid-Fi?
650
I can’t decide..
Is that apple's earpods?
You should die
maybe one of these?
Whoops, looks like some can't afford the best...
why though?
It's not about affording them, it's about how smug you sound and it just disgusts me
He's disabled, he has nothing else to in life. And he need attention.
how smug? I just wanna know what your listening with user
Idol trash here. Sounds better with #teamred, user!
