/hpg/ - Headphone General

it only looks autistic if you walk around with obsolete headphones that don't support bluetooth

PS - why are Headphones gay? Put Up a Chick!

So it's either wireless or earbuds/IEMs to not look autistic?

Because they don't bring enough to the table to justify the cost. They're barely better than chinese TWS, while costing at the very least, twice.

Is that the reasoning behind them? I don't think normies care about sound anyway.
They barely know what sound is.

i just ignore the OP these days

Exactly.
Considering they couldn't care less about sound, why not get a cheapo chinese one? Android owners wouldn't even bat an eye (but most american normies use iPhones. right?)

Only once, it was a audio-GD. Totally forgettable. And even then, I see no need for more headroom.

I'm looking for a good pair that will have my music actually sound good but i wont mind taking them out to school, store, gym, etc.
Was looking at SoundMagic E10/11 C but theyre like 40-50 bucks and if I can get a rec of something close to that for less I'll probably pick that. Ty boys

HD58X - Sound is good, but keeps fucking clamping my hair. I don't want to go bald so not wearing them anymore.
Kingston Hyper X Gaming Headset - Bought a few years ago. Sound pretty good for what I paid ($110AUD) but the volume dial is broken; moving it even a tiny bit off maximum causes the audio to distort.

Basically I want the best I can afford with my budget that won't make me go bald around the ears.

Are the ATH-R70X's any good?
They look hella comfy, I currently have DT 990 Pro's which are kinda uncomfy after a long period
DAC is a Dragonfly Black so I don't think 470 ohms will be an issue

I was just thinking
Magnets have altered magnetic properties depending on how hot they are right?
Does this mean headphones could potentially sound different depending on ambient temperature?

How does your hair get caught, are you some kinda hippie? Maybe try adding blu-tack where your hair gets caught?

obviously yes. They will also sound differently if you're in a high/low pressure area, if the air is more/less humid etc.
They'll also sound differently if you're dehydrated or suffer some kind of deficient supply, since your neurones are affected.

Audioquest Nighthawks

I legit got goosebumps when I heard a friend's Susvara for the first time. It's funny because the headphone themselves look so shitty for a $4,000 product.

Getting my Campfire Audio Andromeda Gold Eds in on monday, is it worth it to run them balanced?

I've heard that there's little reason to run them non single ended as it doesn't change anything. Maaaybe increasing the soundstage a bit? Opinions?

Source is RME ADI 2 Dac + THX 789

Congrats on an awesome purchase!
You can try balanced with a cheap chinese cable. I bought yinyoo (iirc the name) on ali for around 30-40 bucks.
If you notice an appreciable difference you can just buy a better balanced cable.

Sounds like a good idea!

What are user's thoughts on a Fiio E10k for my use case? I currently have some 80ohm DT 770's plugged into my PC (crosshair hero VI for reference) and my primary use case is vidya and listening to music - mainly various subgenres of heavy metal (so the bass cannon nature of the headphones isn't an issue). I do however always wonder if an amp would give a bit of extra clarity but my won research on the matter leads me at an impasse - many claim onboard audio (though not specifically my mobo or the audio chip in it - I am ignorant on its capabilities) is good enough whereas there is an equal amount of claims onboard audio is crap and an amp would be good for headphones of this impudence.

Really i'm just looking for additional opinions on the matter.

Attached: 1000x1000.jpg (1000x1000, 212K)

Asus tends to have good onboard sound, 80 Ohm speakers aren't that hard to drive, so an amp should be useless.
The Snapdragon 8XX series comes with relatively decent DAC implemented. Got a phone with one around and if so, do you hear a difference between it and your mainboard sound?
If yes, get some decent DAC, if not you're fine.

I dunno about the DT770 and this DAC/amp in particular but yes it can change the sound and some headphones are more sensible to it than others, although for now I've yet to experience major sound changes from that.
So yeah you can do it if you want and the actual physical controls on the amp are a plus too, but I'm not convinced you'll hear a difference and if you do there's a fair chance it's eitehr A your mobo output is noisy or B you're being placeboed.

I have tried running them balanced on a couple different cables I've got ( $25-120) as well as with and without IEMatch and on my set up (AK100ii as source) it felt as though the treble was a bit more relaxed, I guess? Not really a big difference at all, and even at that, it wasn't a difference I was interested in so just run them single ended normally.

>Having anything in the signal chain with andros
Dont use these with anything less than the stock cable and a low impedance source. DO NOT use the IEMatch.

What's a good tube amp for audeze lcd-2c?
Never tried tubes and want to check them out.
I'm currently thinking about
xduoo.com/xduoo/En/ProductView.Asp?ID=35

>xduoo
If you need a dac+tube amp this is the way to go. xduoo is an excellent brand go for it.I would go for the TA-10 its dac is pretty good so if you decide to go solid state its a good option to use its dac.

oh and I forgot: If you go with the TA-10 get the balanced version with two tubes.

You need to export something that you can use in an equalizer program (APO). I think oratory1990's wiki has all the values for m40x you need to put into APO so you don't necessarily need to mess with AutoEQ at all if it's troublesome.

Thanks! Why Ta-10 and not Ta-03s? Better Dac?
They cost the same where I'm at.

More features line out trs output regardless of version etc. Btw the balanced version is the TA 20. TA 10 is very good too so if you cant get the the 20 get the 10.

That's the Ta-20 bro, the Ta-10 only comes with a single tube. How much power does the Ta-10 have btw? More than the Dx3pro?

enough to make the 600ohm beyers distort.

Yeah, found it. It's more expensive tho.

yeah doesnt have a dac though. It does have a pass through so you can chain amps. So if you just need an amp go for the TA-20 and if you want a dac that gives you the ability to use solid state amps in the future go for the 10

>DO NOT use the IEMatch.
tf? IEMatch is perfect for CFA IEMs.

hd 600 vs. hd6xx?
is the extra $80 worth it for better mids and overall transparency?

why has op been such a fag recently

He got a lucky hit with the Andromeda but the rest of Campfire lineup is pure TRASH. I don't think he knows what he's doing.

What seem to be the best open backed headphones around 100 euros?

Stax

470 ohm doesnt mean much. Sensitivity is more important in ability to drive a headphone. Dragonfly black isnt especially powerful either.

Then why do people buy the dx3pro if the ta-10 is that much better?

Good pair of headphones for this kind of music???????? youtube.com/watch?v=7xWwhePwqXI

Solaris is good tho. Haven't noticed anything Crin mentions.

Holy shit, 65O modded sounds amazing with these songs!

Yessir. Best neutral open back headphones you can buy < $350. They are my daily and I wear them 8 hours a day. Feel free to ask me any questions you have

>trying to get me to buy wires and buds separately all for the sake of muh quality and modularity

the whole point is i dont have audio knowledge and dont give enough of a fuck, i just want good ear buds that will sound good and last as daily drivers.
like the t420 of earbuds

anything with a mic?
