>ear cups on my AT-M50x fell apart todayPisses me off. I finally get a day to just listen to music and the leather/vinyl/whatever just turned to black chunks of shit.
any recommendations which minimize the amount of head strain/pressure?I swore by closed headphones for years, but eventually I found that having them on my head leads to headaches. this was true even for light ones like hd600. any recommendations?
>>100517328Some are adjustable, so maybe get some like that. You could also kinda stretch some headphones, which is what I have also done sometimes.
>>100517346thanks for the comments. it took me about a year to diagnose these headaches. it caused me to completely give away my over-ear headphone collection and move fully to in-ear, but sometimes you just miss that open sound... another funny thing i miss is i used to have a clear ritual of putting on headphones when i mean to work at home, even if i don't put music on..i definitely tried what you said about stretching. i guess i gave up too easily and should try some padding of different types? hmmmalso it's been years since i was into this, so what are the default buys now? still hd600? i gave my old one away lol, since then they finally changed the design. and yes i can read the OP post, i see hd600, but wonder if there is some particular interesting new developmentthanks <3
>>100517383>should try some padding of different types? hmmmOh that reminds me, you can also change the pads on most good headphones, so that might be a good idea too. I enjoy in-ears too and got some Airpods Pros as recc'd by this thread and they've been great, but I still prefer something that goes fully over my ears for at home.>what are the default buys now?Personally, I'd go with something like M50x or M40x if you want to save just a little money. Both have a very good flat sound.
>>100517506thanks for all the recommendations. i will play with padding. I liked the hd600 a lot, but actually i had a fairly expensive hifiman that i liked more that used to get high ratings, but it hurt my head more. interesting to see hifiman get trashed for reliability here, mine basically completely fell apart. thanks again!
best EQ for ATH M40x?
>>100517263thats not leather it's plastic>>100517328i wear hd650 at least 8 hours a day and i dont have any comfort issuesat first the claming force was a bit high but doing picrel helped and after pads broke in around the arms of my glasses it became perfect >>100517383>ritual of putting on headphones when i mean to work at home, even if i don't put music on..i do that>also it's been years since i was into this, so what are the default buys now? still hd600? HD6XX is almost identical and costs $200consider 490 pro which is about $400 if you have the money, remember to EQ using oratory1990 presets 490 pro is supposed to be quite comfortable >>100517593>but it hurt my head more.yeah because planars are twice as heavy as dynamic driver headphones >>100517974oratory1990 >>100517506>I'd go with something like M50x or M40x if you want to save just a little moneydont do that
>>100517263that seems to be common with all the pleathers do they sell 3rd party ear muffs?
>>100518763There are third party pads for the M40/M50x. I see Brainwavz come up a lot, but I don't know much about any others.
>>100518896brainwavz are shit quality and leather ones are half pleather and will flake as well
>>100518916Well shit, I'll be sure to avoid them then. Hopefully someone knows of some good ones then.
>>100511419>>100511455Can anybody here answer this please?

The new king is herehttps://youtu.be/EctKUjK1M8U
almost 10 years with my hd600sjust bought a Fiio k11, balanced cable and dan clark aeon open x. a little eq and these sound great. i enjoy listening to music with these more than my 600s but I only had them driven through a MOTU interface and never used any EQ.
>>100525482>moonpoopI bet my Tres will clear these although the measurements look clean.
>>100525535oops im tarded its actually a k7
>>100525535These? I would never. How's the comfort on them though?
>>100525535do you eq hd600what's the difference
>>100525482>shartur>moondroppedi'll take the pigger school project
>>100525696very comfortable, i've been using them for 15 hours a day while working since I bought them. much better isolation than i expected from an open back. thinking about adding a padded headband to make them completely unnoticeable while wearing since the stock one is just a flat piece of fake leather.>>100525807nah, I never fucked around with EQ before these cans.
>>100524608they are replaceable, but at this point I'm not sure what else I could fit there if I'm allergic to the official (and so, replacement as well) cushions.And well, at this point, thanks to this allergy and the consequences it had, I can't wear any sort of over-ear or on-ear headphones for a while. RIP
good morning saars today we compare abd hifiman susvara and good moondrop do not redeem he6se saar it no good >>100525963what's the difference is sound
>>100526022hd600s were very neutral and thin compared. these sound a lot more fun. with EQ to remove some muddiness in the low midrange it's really a lot more enjoyable especially for the music I like. Soundstage is nice and tight with instruments having very pleasing spacing. low end is tight and full and doesn't have annoying sibilance. I'm not a treble enjoyer.
>>100525963>the stock one is just a flat piece of fake leatherYeah that's what the Tresgods come with too and I'm trying to figure out some DIY pad thing.
^
>>100525986You could try an aftermarket pad made from a different material. Sound shouldn't even be massively affected because they already heavily rely on DSP for that and can probably compensate for the different pad.
>he doesnt EQ his headphones to harman ae oe 2018
>>100527308I did not like any headphone target on any headphones so I had to invent my own.

>>100527308it sounds kind of better in some way than mine but also pretty shit but i think that's just my HRTF
Sash tres owners, is it true that HRT changes your perception of music?
>>100529610>Sash tres ownersonly you?
I've had picrel forever and don't use them. The headband and ear cups are all cracked and peeling.Any interesting ideas for mods?
>>100532158>no imageREEEEE
>>100532166Wool headband, some nice leather pads and a vmoda boom mic for a gaymer headset.I'm pretty sure those use a normal 3,5mm port so a boom mic should work
>>100515000I bought Sony Linkbuds S last year and liked everything about them, and although they fizzled out (that permanent "water rushing" sound in one bud) after 13 months, I was willing to forgive that since I used them so much at work. My new pair had the exact same problem in 2 weeks, so returned them, decided to try Samsung Galaxy Buds2, but a massive downgrade in all respects (audio quality/fit/general build) so I returned those as well. Is it even worth it trying to find a pair of earbuds on par with the Linkbuds that will last? If not, what are some good headphones with 1) decent noise cancelling, 2) relatively low profile, 3) bluetooth?
>>100518740thanks for the comfort suggestions, and for recommending the 490 pro, which i'd never considered!

which cables are least microphonic
>>100536881cloth cables from hartaudio

>>100537326then just roll the aliexpress dice
Page 10 not cute.
>>100515000which one is better Meizu HIFI or Fiio KA1?no 3rd option pls
i hope you got yourselves one of these and stuck thick hybrid pads on them
>>100517328Dan clark drop aeon open x. Basically no clamp force and insanely thick pads
>>100539467They're both worse than the Apple dongle other than max output voltage. Fiio has a slight leg up over Meizu there, so I guess Fiio.
>>100541028how can they be worse than apple dongle?
>>100542156Easily
>>100539467Avoid fiio, very bad OS compatibility.
>>100542156Because if the chinks who designed those were smart they'd be making 200x more money working for Apple.
>>100515000Just bought some Arya organic, I'm picking them up next week, gonna be nice.
>>100540544I will not touch any pads that contain pleather for the rest of my life if I can help itEspecially Brainwavz pleather
>>100542292looks like real leather and other than that ring which holds it onto the frame
>>100542468If they're Brainwavz hybrids, that's not real leatherIn fact even their "sheepskin" pads are basically hybrid pads with the velour replaced with real leather, while the rest is still their trash-tier pleather that loves to flake off after a year
just ordered some QCs, what am i in for?
>>100542583they look more convincing than my chinkshit and sneakers then
>>100542292I have no idea, i never experienced pleather deterioration yet we will see. Theyre so thick the pleather part doesn't even move. if these pads start flacking i will l get myself animal skin hybrids. for the mean time, get yourself ndh30 today plus thick hybrids and stuck em up!
>>100542889friend, you can compare pad quality of >>100540544 with>>100529262 if this helps. since they're actually animal skin
>>100542291arya owner here, you fell for chickfi. enjoy your failed QC on left or right driver or broken up connectors or broken plastic structure. have fun with broken chinkfis!
>>100542954they look very similar but next to each other you really can tell a difference
>>100542911I'm speaking from my own experience, Brainwavz' black pleather (like on their "sheepskin" pads) will last about a year before the first flakes start to fall offTheir colored pleather is actual trash that lasted maybe a month on my friend's M40XTheir micro-suede has held up pretty well over the span of 5 years now, and it's cheaper than "sheepskin" to boot, so that's something I can actually recommend
Finna get an orchiectomy and use my sac skin to make some fire ass earpads ngl desu senpai
>>100543099honestly 1 year is pretty bad even for chinkshit goes
*as far as chinkshit goes
is an elex still worth it?
>>100543448 never was
>>100543448i still count clears as the most uncomfortable headphone ever if that helps. even lcd2s are more comfortable and they're like 2 times heavier than clears. when lcd2 get more comfortable than your headphone it's a bad sign already.
>>100543521If I'm not mistaken lcd-gx is basically just an lcd-2 but in a reasonable weight.
>450g
>>100543521lcd-2 is one of the very few comfortable headphones for me because I can bend their headband to make it very wide. New lcds are way too small, like most other headphones. The weight is not an issue, I've worn a steel helmet before.
>>100543598>595g
should i finish sicp or study math
>>100543448The Hadenys have better bass and newer focal drivers are supposedly less cranky, they also improved the frame. Thinking about getting those if they release them in a non-ugly color scheme.
>>100543051If it is bad i can just return it.
>>100543156Yeah, that's why I tell people to stay away from their pleather stuff these daysVelour and micro-suede last just fine, but their pleather is just trash
>>100544235is it just an open back celestee?
>>100546834no, it's based on bathys

How much better would the QC ultra ANC be than my buds 2 pro.
>>100553003Look on rtings
>>100550337The link is misleading. This connector is 2.5mm for the Sennheiser HD560s. The K361 uses a mini-XLR 3-pin, there are plenty of options.
>>100553003as someone who demoed the qc ultras in a store i can say with the surround sound they are perhaps the best in mainstream audio
how long does it take for the pads to become like this?
>>100554289Going by the headband that looks to be an exceptionally greasy nigger, so maybe 3 years for him.

Can amp/dac quality affect the way only certain specific sounds are reproduced or is it all in my head?After trying external dac I feel like motherboard audio at equal volume makes sharp abrupt sounds like cymbals or plosives less "impactful" but I have no idea how to properly explain it.
>>100557693Could be a case of early high frequency roll-off caused by a shitty onboard audio implementation
>>100557693for the most part, there is no conclusive evidence in regards to source gear affecting sound quality, but reproduction of higher frequencies is actually an area where differences can be noticeable
>>100557693Probably, but shit like that is hard to prove. If you like the sound of the external dac then fuck it, just keep using it.
are "high end" dacs a meme?
>>100559685Kind of. They have more precision than any source material at this point, but they're not crazy expensive either. If you know you need a decent amp and you're not 100% confident in onboard sound, $100-200 on a DAC isn't too bad.Avoid R2R and discrete designs. That's just typical audiophiles spending more for a story and worse performance.
>>100559685The smsl D-6S at $200 is so ridiculously accurate there is no possible way to spend more money and actually get a meaningfully better product. Arguably even spending that much is silly. People who buy really expensive dacs buy them because they are less accurate and they like how the distortion or non linear frequency response sounds though they usually don't understand that or won't admit it.
>>100560329This dac is not well liked.>>100559685Diminishing returns are more severe after the 5-600 pricepoints than 2-400. You will not regret a 4499ex chip.100$ worth of parts in the power supply is cutting corners.
>>100560734>This dac is not well liked.By who? Headfi?
>>100560734>You will not regret a 4499ex chipFuzzy smoothed over garbage Perfectly illustrates>People who buy really expensive dacs buy them because they are less accurate and they like how the distortion or non linear frequency response sounds though they usually don't understand that or won't admit it.
>>100559685Anything more expensive than an Apple dongle is diminishing returns

>>100576280You're listening at 124dB peak/100dB average.
>>100576280You have enough power to drive HD600 to deafening levels. What's your Element 3 OLED display showing?
>>100576401I can turn it all the way up to 13.5 dB for certain media. It gets loud don't get me wrong but there's some things that don't get loud enough. Volume in OS is as high as it can go.
wtf I spent 30 minutes looking at audio equipment headphones and speakers and that turned into one day and I nearly spent $400 on headphones and amp...this is a dangerous hobby
>>100576501if you have any idea how any of that works you will never be tempted to own more than a single pair of headphones

KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
>>100576876hello timmy
>>100566939No, I already have headphones that are signficantly better than anything Audio Technical will ever produce. I need something that has active noise cancelling that aren't ear buds with 3 hours of battery life though. >>100564839I read it's meh compared to Apple. >>100564814Yeah maybe, they've head ANC for like 25 years now at least.
>>100579378I don't know shit about anc headphones, but measured anc performance doesn't matter much. It has to be looked at in combination with passive isolation.
I just bought the audeze maxwell gaming set for 380 euro and they're so not worth the price. My 10 euro earphones are better than these thing. Sound sounds completely normal. They're not sound proof at all and my ears get super hot and also a bit uncomfortable as they might ache a bit. Why do /g/tards love saying that these headphones are so good???
Max length for an RCA cable? I have to run it across the room and will need a 15m cable at least. I see people saying max length to be safe is 5-10, but audio guys are always tricky.
>>100581788They're shilled because the graph is le good. Here are some guidelines if you don't want to repeat this mistake.0) Dont buy if you can't try/easily return it. 1) Comfort impressions are worthless. You will not feel what other people feel. Objectively. Open-backs are usually more comfortable though.2) Sound impressions are worthless. You will not hear what other people hear. Or what some measurement stand hears. Objectively. Open-backs are usually less fit dependent though. 3) Don't buy anything gaming, ever.4) Don't buy anything with non-circular cups. Extreme fit dependency for the sound, both in the tonality and in the distortion.btw you need to spend at least $800 on headphones to reach parity with $10 earphones. That's what happens when you don't innovate for 30 years.
Currently trying to decide whether the ANC and wirelessness of the WH-1000XM5s or Momentum 4s justifies their inferior sound quality when compared to the DT 700 Pro Xs, which I’m also considering. Just how dramatic will the difference be?
>>100581788I TOLD YOU STUPID FAGGOTWHY DO YOU LISTEN TO THE POSTEX TRANNY>>100582035>justifies their inferior sound quality when compared to the DT 700 Pro XsLMAO
>>100581788The OP is full of fucking trash, its made by some obsessive deaf tranny.
>>100581788Nobody says they're so good. They're an option for gaymer retards so they can stop spamming retarded questions. You're supposed to do your research or ask before buying. I'm also sure you're full of shit and they're not that terrible anyways.>>100582477Do you have suggestions on how to improve it? If not, then kys.
>>100579378>better than anything Audio Technical will ever produceFar-fetched

>>100583032Yeah the best way to improve it is for you to 41% yourself and let literally any other anon cook.

why can i get a state of the art headphone amp for $100 but guitar amps are all shit
>>100584306Because guitarists are fucking retardsbass amps don't have this problem
>>100584354so can i just get a bass amp for my guitar or what
>>100584114good headphones do not exist
>>100583944>>100584042>aesthetic>comfy>superb build quality>cable is great>pads are great>sound is amazingI'm hearing so much more. So much separation. I's like Siouxsie is leaning in for a kiss. Isolation is great. I was skeptical of the headband but I barely notice them on me, even despite the weight. The shape allows me to lay back and rest my head on my chair and nap. Only thing I'm worried about is getting headphone hair because the leather band is wide. For the price? No better headphones hands down. Easy to drive, shouldn't even have bought this H300 amp. Haven't even tried EQ yet.
>>100515000im in the market for some budget earbuds (~100 euros), any recs? the ones im looking at rn are the sonys WF-C700N
>>100583944>>100584042Alright listen to that thing for 100 hours and then come back here and give your thoughts
>>100581946There's no standard for RCA cables and you're literally just sending a <=2Vrms sound wave as voltage down a wire, so there's no set max length. In theory you could still have audible signal at a mile.In practice if you're going far enough that you're running cable between two different grounding points, you should switch to balanced. They make passive RCA-cat5 baluns for like $10.
>>100585397It's perfect. Review over.
>>100585326>>100584042Looking slick! Tell me how they sound and i might consider buying
>>100586342They sound like sex.
>>100586382Give me details
>>100586455Can't. They're perfect, that's the only way to describe them.
>>100586455Such as?
>>100585410It's from one corner of the room to another, following the wall. So you're saying I need two of those then? Because I don't have balanced i/o on anything I own.
>>100586455Specifically they sound like cutting off your dick on HRT.
>>100586455>they sound like sexyoure asking the wrong person if thats true
>>100587306Yeah. Buying balanced equipment is obviously ideal b/c no added distortion, but using baluns and cat5 for $40 is probably less bad than having a fat $30 cable and hoping ground loops never happen.
>>100583934Could you elaborate?
>>100584114Nighthawks. Try to prove me wrong. You can't.
I want to replace the cable of my dt770 headphones with a smoother, more flexible one. Googling it doesnt really seem to get more into the right direction. Can you help me please with a few pointers?
>>100589334Do a jack mod, buy any random 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable.Personally I use cheap chink cables. Over the 3m or so an average headphone cable will run for, there's no fucking noise issues on even thin wires. They might break a little faster though.
>>100589233worse than dogshit>postex driverthat explains it, kill yourself

I just want to get the best kind of headphones that don't need an amp, someone recommended the Austrian Audio HI-X60 since I like the MDR V6 but is it the best option (for me)?
>>100590117good morning sir
>>100590201How does my post sound remotely indian? I might have said it akwardly but I just want the best non-amp phones
>>100590328either a hick or criminally ESL as for your question, i think the best kind is over-ear
>>100590371that's not what I mean you idiot is the specific headphone I posted similar to the V6? Also>caring this much about spelling>implying you really care
>>100590432kys retard
>>100529262spacious gods for a fucking closed back and accurate as fuckplus the perforated version bringing the BEST SOUND EVER and as well as my king modification.
planars will never into dynamic treble.
>>100589649Not my fault they're all bad.
>>100590665dynamics are dogshit
>>100590740planars are worse
>>100590740planars worst shits ever.this >>100529262 killed them
>>100590754at least planars can take eq without distorting like shit
>>100590774enjoy eqing all 30 micropeaks in the midrange
>>100529262what exactly is this
>>100590792all headphones need eq anyway, better than bass turning into farts
I love my Massdrop x Sennheiser PC37X Gaming Headset. I got it a couple years ago for $80, but I've had to get replacement cables multiple times. The first cable lasted over a year, but the only replacements I've been able to find have been shit that doesn't last.Goddamn 2.5mm plug.
>>100590955yeah they fucking blow i tried reterminating one of these cables with my cheapshit iron and i couldnt fucking get it right for the life of me and in the end i got horrible crosstalk
I have EQ'd my Tres. This is endgame. I don't need any other headphones.
>>100590990You must be one hell of a retard to fuck up terminating 3 pin connectors.I build my own cables because they don't make any good ones for my headphones. And by good here I'm talking about dimensions, not the audiophile snake oil that is "muh pure silver copper oxy coating". The guys buying that shit would weep if they were smart enough to look inside and see what kind of cable is joining the driver to the socket.
>>100591210>The guys buying that shit would weep if they were smart enough to look inside and see what kind of cable is joining the driver to the socket.Hard to beat the humble leftover cat5e cable for that job.
How do the Bose QuietComfort Ultras compare to the Sony WH-1000XM5s?
>>100591210you didnt see the iron i'll get a pinecil and fix it once it's in stock
I want to be able to enjoy my gaemz without hearing any ambient bullshit in the background (talking, fan noise, etc) since audio actually matters a lot in the games I play. I don't want to destroy my hearing by turning the volume up. recommendations?
>>100591541Even with a 10 dollar iron and a tip the size of a q-tip, a job that basic shouldn't be hard. I could do it with a fucking lighter and a nail.
>>100591647it was a $5 iron and lead free solder give me a fucking break i had to wait 10 minutes for it to warm up

Hey guys - need advice on a good web cam and microphone, is this the right general for it?
>>100589204if you want good sound quality get an open backif you want isolation dont get momentum because it has bad ANC
>>100593189ya
>>100590990I just yanked the cable out and tried replacing it with another, but after a few months the cable had the same problem. The cable they give is long as fuck, but trying to fix the cable itself just seems like it'd be a nightmare. If I can't get a replacement cable I'd rather just find something that goes in the 2.5mm jack that could connect to bluetooth and be done with it.
>>100593565yeah good luckmaybe you can just get a 3,5mm cable and an adapter but theyre hit or miss

>>100575176>>100574484I have a Grado SR125i. I can't say how similar they will sound but as you can see their models are built mostly the same way.They look better built than mine but the quality I've experienced is just bad. My earphones fell off since they are only held on by a single round nub fitting into a detent in the headband, and I had to reattatch them with glue. The cables are needlessly thick and not detachable. 1/4th" jack for 32 ohms - WHY?. Just from their look and feel, they seem like fashion over quality in every respect, and I wouldn't think they should sound good (even though they do).Maybe this is the difference between models, but the bass on mine is not bad. It is somewhat lacking in sub bass, the kind you want for dubstep, even when EQ'd. For regular bass like kick drums and bass guitar I think they are good. They seem to sound more punchy and realistic to me than on my AKG K702 which has much better sub-bass when eq'd and is generally praised for having great bass. In my opinion they are very good for rock and metal, and most acoustic music, but I don't like them as much for electronica.As for the highs, I've heard Grados have very exaggerated highs and they're designed by and for old men with damaged hearing. That does include me, but my hearing damage is only above 15 khz and below that my hearing is 95th percentile. All I can say is they sound pretty good to me and I like them more than all the other headphones I have tried.These seem to be polarizing love it or hate it type headphones and I don't think they should be recommended without qualification, but if you really want to try them, go ahead. Just buy them from Amazon so you can return them no questions asked if you need to.
