Wood on headphones just sucks. I still can't understand why this is desirable.

>implying he bought any of that Stax crap

Nigga he is a social media marketing intern, Edifier is giving for free to pose for pictures and post here to incite buypigs into buying.

Thinking of getting the Hd58x as my first open backs, upgrading from tin t2s. Should I buy an amp or DAC first?

look into how wood impacts sound

No dacs are a meme, as are headphones past $300.

lol wut?

Idk man, I can tell the difference between no DAC Vs a DAC. Sounds cleaner and more detailed.

Name?

What do you mean no DAC? Everything that produces digital music into an analog signal that goes to your headphones has a DAC. Your phone has a DAC as does your motherboard. The difference is that generally they aren't powerful enough in terms od amplification.

They sound better. It's why guitars are made of wood.

HELP

what are some good cans

So how come the LCD-2,3,4 all were wood and the X went metal and everyone didn't complain about the vibration?

LCD2, 3 4 just had tiny wood accents on the side. It wasn't affecting any resonance or reflecting sound back. Not sure what you're talking about.

For me, it's Beats.

Besides the one built into my laptop and cellphone I have no DAC sorry.

That's what I meant by trying it with and without, I used my friends one to test with one

A jds atom is what my friend had that I tested

I'm , I decided I will build a Khadas Tone Board DAC. Now I just need to decide on what headphones to get...
Options are Beyer dt990s, Senn hd58x, akg k702, or possibly Sennheiser hd600.

just buy the HD6XX. you don’t have many options under $250

then give me a few options. it is better

So is Meze Empyrean a meme or the real deal?

Attached: empyrean-top.jpg (1170x663, 94K)

it’s a real meme

the most meme of the memes

any /prod/ bros here? which performs better for mixing. The shp9500 or m40x?

why don’t you give me more details about what you’re looking for than just fucking “hi-fi”? I’m not going to give you a list of headphones I like with flowery words so the anonymous buypig can randomly pick which to gorge his paycheck on.
work with me and I’ll work with you.

what’s a buypig?

i don't know much about that i just want an affordable flat headphone

airpods, user. they have an incredibly balanced frequency response. they play back all of my favorite musicians (nicki minaj, cardi b, bhad bhabie, dreamdoll! alllll yasss queens) and connect to my iphone so easily, no need to mess with complicated bluetooth settings!

you should try them, they look way cooler than those biga$$ nerd headphones you got lol XD

I really wonder what are the motivations behind the STAX boomer poster.

No one drives me away from this thread more than him. He is even worse than the ZMF shills or the Shiit posters. He can't keep a conversation, argument, or talk about anything audio related.

He just gets paid to put STAX pictures with undisclosed weird sources that probably distort like shit and comment stuff like "huh?" and "what are you listening now user?"

Can he get up banned? He's obviously getting paid for shameless and effortless advertising

Why not get the LCD-X if you prefer that kind of sound?

huh?

He doesn’t know flooranon lol.

Is there any way to make the ATH-MSR7 comfortable which doesn't involve fucking up the sound on the way ?

audio technica mx50 died on me after two years, left muff went out. looking to replace it. convince me to not get another pair.

>budget $100 - 200
>closed is a must

The best part is what a cumbrained poor paypig you are. There isn’t one piece of equipment you’ve shown that was over $2000. If you saved up and bought something over $4000 instead of buying 2-3 things that cost $1500, you might have something worthwhile.
I’m laffing

You're just as bad as him. Fuck off.

Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80s are a technically and musically superior headphone for around the same amount of money. They're also vastly more comfortable.

why are you so obsessed with money user?

cheers, and you'd recommend the 250ohm? I dont quite understand why I wouldnt want the 250ohm version.

Looking for a recommendation

>Budget
100-200€
>Open/closed
I prefer open for my next pair, but closed is just fine

I haven't heard the 250ohm version, but a number of impressions I've read suggest that they're slightly different sounding. I think they have a little less bass or something?

At any rate, the 80ohm version is the one I can absolutely recommend. While I don't own them anymore, I think they're one of the best sub-$200 headphones out there. And while they don't need an amplifier, they scale really well with high end amps.

They are not even his own headphones lol.

imagine not owning stax

This is bait, but that’s because you’re listening on fucking YouTube, you stupid tranny.

thisyou have to convert the YouTube audio to FLAC, then listen

I have these.
They're ok. Much better than my last pair.

Wave (WAV) sounds better so it’s better to convert to flack and then upconvert to WAVE

>take WAV file
>calculate checksum on the data, MD5, SHA1, whatever
>convert WAV file to FLAC file
>convert that FLAC file back into a WAV file
>compare the checksum values of the original WAV to the checksum values of the converted to FLAC then converted to WAV file
>exactly the same files

FLAC is lossless, you fucking idiots, one and all, GET THE FUCK OUT.

Shp9500 is utterly useless for any kind of mixing. M40x is nice for final mix

Sales going on here down under on various audio tech, any recommendations for good value for money/under $200 AUD open back headphones?
Audio Technica M50x seems to be the holy grail for this category but should I sacrifice the open back for them? Just for home use.

HD58X/HE4XX

How autistic do you have to be to keep falling for obvious weak bait?

you made the wrong choice.

Can't find them anywhere to buy in Australia, even US Amazon is failing me, any good alternatives?

you can get the hd58x on massdrop

is the best iems for $50 tin t2 or this there a better opinion

What are you wating for faggots?

He doesn't care if he made the wrong choice as he made all the choices by buying literally everything.

I was planning to buy DT1990 and Magni/Modi3s next week, but i found out that my recent rootcanal failed yesterday and that i have a huge infection. So basically i can either get the tooth extracted and wait a few months before i get the headphones, OR i buy new headphones now and ignore the infection.

What should i do?

Forgot to add that extraction also implies me spending a lot of money on a tooth implant.

Let me get this straight, you’re listening to what?

I’m having a really boring day at work and I thus decided to take a look at SBAF, and holy shit, how come that there’s still an actual forum with proper discussion without constant shitposting? How did I not find that place earlier?

Get your fucking tooth fixed. A tooth infection can go south REAL fast and if it does your jaw bone is not the only thing that's going to take a hit.

Lmao. Feel free to fuck off there. Just do us a favor and don't come back. We don't need more shills here.

SBAF is a meme forum for a circle of delusional boomers (not the meme, but real boomers) with a superiority complex, followed by a bunch of bootlickers willing to kowtow to a fat old gook.

Live in a country with free healthcare and have an employer with alright dental plan. But for real, teeth are a lot more important. Juste get a pair of ksc75 if you need headphones anyway.

This is the first time I’ve heard about SBAF, googled them and they seem pretty reasonable. So can you tell me what’s the issue with them?

They considers DACs sound different, and that measurements for them are worthless. They believe in headphones "scaling" with amps, and HD650 is the second coming incarnate into a pair of headphones, scaling infinitely, being a perfectly detailed headphone.
They're also generally cunts.

>They considers DACs sound different, and that measurements for them are worthless
Well, they're not wrong with that.

s o u n d s t a g e

>They're also generally cunts
nothing like this general, then

They hold some ridiculous beliefs, but the worst part is their herd mentality. If you are part of the ”inner circle”, you can spew any kind of bullshit you ever want, but if you aren’t, you’re just going to be laughed off. It’s an extreme example why many forums suck, who says stuff is more important than what is actually said.

Also, the head admin likes to get drunk, stir shit with other members outside his inner circle and then ban the opposing side for shits and giggles. Why anyone would willingly subject them to that shit, that I don’t know.
