Here's my question:
I want a Bluetooth shitcans for gym, travel, and general purpose.
My options:
> Anker sound core space Q45
>Moondrop edge
One is 10usd more expensive than the other. Anker has pretty good ANC but I like coomsrop's IEMs and own some of them. Go.

PSA: The mini DSP flex kills speakers and will blast static at full volume after a power outage.
I came home after new years to find that my speakers had been blasting static at full volume for possibly a few days and one of the tweeters in my wharfedale diamond 12.2 was blown.
It must have been after a power outage given this has happened before and the microwave clock was flashing like a power outage occurred.

Fucking chink engineering

I'll be honest, those are pretty niche headphones and this is a ghost town general. Chances are there aren't any people here who have used them who can offer advice. Unironically try reddit you have a much better chance of getting an informed opinion.

Is there a closed back better than FT1 at the price?

I've had a warranty issued for the ATH-M40x because the right side of the headphones stopped working within a year time. I got my moneyse back but now need a new pair of headphones. I liked the m40x but was just wondering if there was a better buy at this point or should I stick to the same since I liked it. My budget is still around 100€. I just want something durable most of all.

What do I do with it? Videogames and some music, nothing flac just spotify streaming, although im a rym fag I think its pointless for me to buy ultra high end headphones (also because no budget but it would still be a waste). I want to also add that I got a ixo22 steinberg audio interface and want to utilize this advantage and not plug in some shitty headphones.

>>107792811
There isn't. But FT1 has a terrible FR variation based on fit.

Hardly a slight against the FT1 in particular when even DCA cans are horrendously fit-dependent

>>107794992
I've been getting into the headphone hobby for a few months now but I still don't have any idea what frequency response really means. People throw it out there as this big problem with some headphones but what does that actually mean? I rarely if ever see it mentioned in reviews though so is it actually something important I have to track? Where do you even find information on it. What is it?

Chord Mojo2 is one of the DACs of all time.

>>107795087
Frequency response is, for the most part, the only headphone characteristic that humans can truly perceive. A person directly perceives FR through the auditory system, relayed to the brain. Human hearing is remarkably imprecise. People can enjoy virtually any FR, a fact marketing departments exploit quite effectively. Revealing the technological shortcomings of overpriced devices isn't a viable option for marketers. Research has determined that certain FR curves appeal to the majority and are simultaneously neutral. The problem is that FR at the tympanic membrane varies significantly from person to person. Over-ear headphones exhibit substantial differences in FR at the individual’s tympanic membrane compared to measurement rigs above 3 kHz, and bass depth is also heavily dependent on fit. Nevertheless, FR measurements remain the most significant objective characteristic of headphone sound, and are generally the standard for evaluation.

You can find FR measurements there: https://squig.link/
The more closely a headphone’s FR matches a neutral target, the better it performs. Equalization is even more crucial for over-ear headphones than for IEMs and is more complicated.

Are the Sennheiser HD 560's still the best value headphones for music production and accurate no-sugar coated sound at $180?

If you’re just doing mixing the 560 is a good one. I have this better dynamic for tracking and it’s also good. But if you could have only one, the senns are the one to have.

I got a pair of Sennheiser HE-1's recently and I wasn't too pleased. They just sound a bit dull. What do I upgrade to?

Audio is probably the most stagnant and boring thing in technology. Even pencils have more development going on. The official standard-issue status-quo headphones are and will always be DT770 and HD600. Nothing ever happens, nothing ever changes.

Well, I do also listen for long periods of time and wear blue blocker glasses so having that extra comfort they seem to be rated for would be just as good as when I'm doing music or sound effects.

I got some M50X's but they aren't comfortable and pierce my ears at times.

75€ dt 270 pro retard is finally back for a small """review""":
>it's too bassy
it's not, no matter how good of a seal I get, normal amount of bass, "overkill amounts of bass" are nowhere to be found.
>absolutely 0 sibilance
also couldn't replicate, these have normal levels of sibilance for me, none on most songs but it does get annoying in poorly mastered ones like with most other headphones, this might be due to the hrtf of my ears though I guess, definitely not dt770/990 level though, it's fine.
>the bass distorts
also couldn't replicate, listened a lot on maxed out volume and probably lost some hearing permanently from that but couldn't detect distortion in bass.
They sound nice and everything, i'm not even mad (though would've liked more bass and less treble even more), it's just that solderdude probably fucked up his measurements or something, the gadetrytech squiglink seems to agree with my findings.
comfort: pretty good but I do sometimes still get my earlobe stuck under the pads, i'm getting used to fitting my ears inside the small pads more and more with time, my 55mm ears fit in like a glove.
cable: decent, isn't microphonic for me, plus the 3.5" isn't recessed or anything and any random aux cable works fine.
build quality seems nice but I dislike the cheap sound the light plastic headband makes when I leave it on my desk.
very stupid nitpick: I thought the earcups were supposed to rotate downwards (mdr m1 style) and was one of the reasons i boughted this (i like when headphones sit flat on my desk) but... no it's actually the other way around, completely ponitless and just makes it annoying cause they rotate in a useless position half the time i pick them up, does anyone know if a passive channel inverter exists? would fix this problem as they're otherwise simmetrical and the jack plugs either way, strangely it doesn't look like it does.
>inb4 just use eqapo
i want the channels inverted on every device and to not affect other headphones.

>>107797078
also some facts for those that care about the included usb-c dongle, which no review has ever covered yet:
-it supports the windows built in audio effects (yes i know they're pointless when eq-apo exists but it's nice that you don't have to install shit for those to work), no other dongle i've ever used does this.
-for some reason only 8000Hz and 48000 Hz 16 bit is supported, not even 44100 Hz 16 bit, also no 24 bit, very strange limitation.
-volume output isn't as loud as a chinkshit dongle (70% as loud as my JCALLY JA56) but isn't eu-cucked like the apple dongle is either, also no difference in volume on android.
-the dongle audio device name is "DT 270 Pro", it's supposed to be strictly part of the headphone and not sold separately, although it does work with any other headphone (of course) and they'll probably list this under the spare parts for it.

>>107796957
I already redeemed them. Haven't noticed headband snapping, though.

Nice review. If the sibilance is too bad, you could try the tissue mod, it helps out on a lot of these beyer cans.

After waiting weeks it finally shipped. Just a few more days and hopefully my troubles will finally be behind me. Gotta keep this thread alive somehow until then.

>>107797231
>you could try the tissue mod
I know about the toilet paper mod and did think of this, but i don't want to start messing around with it yet, also i'm paranoid about messing up the pads taking them on/off (realistically not an issue but autism) and no spares are available yet.
>If the sibilance is too bad
I don't think it is, i would prefer a bt less of it but i'm also liking how it sounds on well mastered recordings and you can't really filter out sibilance without lowering the entire treble range down (i think)
I might also be interested in some pad rolling (since these use classic rounded lip into groove style pads and no clips or particular shape) but nobody seems to have experimented with that yet and I'm afraid nobody ever will if these end up being as popular as the 240 pro were, also the stock pads are already quite nice (especially in this price range where you usually get 1mm thick pleather like on the m50x and 7506).
I'm thinking a 3d printed adapter to fit the slightly bigger and similarly tuned 700 pro x pads could improve comfort while sticking to a genuine easily obtainable beyer part that looks like the original pads.
Another interesting mod might be just removing the original headband (which is replaceable so it can be unclipped) and putting a zmf pilot pad on it instead, the buttonable 770 headband might also fit???
Basically you could probably increase comfort further (which is already pretty good btw) to turn this into a poor mans 700 pro x is what i'm saying.

One of those ZMF crescent snaps might work too, not sure which is more comfortable between that and the Pilot pad.

>>107797078
Are these made in Germany?

>>107797078
other stuff I forgot to mention before/couldn't because of the character limit:
-the plastic headband seems to have a couple of extremely thin (very hard to see/feel) perfectly straight "cracks" at the sides which is interesting because there have been reports of the 700/900 pro x headband breaking and cracking in similar places, my guess is that they did this to prevent having this same issue on the 270 pro, it serves as strain relief to prevent stress of the plastic from building up in that areas, or at least, that's my theory.
-I can confirm that the passive noise isolation is in fact pretty good, as stated in most reviews, it halves the volume of most sounds, and decreases the sound of my own voice by a fuckton making it actually kind of hard to understand what I sound like when I wear these.

>>107797634
yeah a smaller pad might work better for these.
>>107797636
unfortunately no, they're made in china, but it makes sense considering the price/performance, there's no way they could make these without the help of a chinkshit sweatshop.
And also, the headphones it competes with (7506/m50x/ft1/hd 569) are also all made in china, price is one of the most important factors when making an entry level studio/hifi headphone at the 100€/$ price range, i'm not too mad at the decision of making these in china, it's kind of mandatory here.

Sennheiser momentums or bose quiet comfort? I'm looking for a new pair of bluetooth headphones, and I have a pretty penny to spend. I'm not buying Apple.

>HD600 is the most neutral headphone!!!11
Looking at Harman graphs where they put a mic into people's ears, there's a big variance in and around the treble region, +-5db difference in sub-bass, up to 3db in bass.
So is it neutral or "it depends on your anatomy/HRTF"?

>>107793053
bump and wanted to also add:
maybe i should just get Shure SRH440A and stfu?
Also i tried and checked reddit and lots of people talk about beyerdynamic DT's but they are out of budget, was just curious why nobody speaks of them here

Also I wanted to add that im having some health issues because of prolonged use of headphones, im clean but probably pressure mixed with prolonged wear causes moisture in my ears and has caused me a infection recently (literally using the headphones 24/7). For this reason are maybe open back better because they let the air flow through? I still prefer closed back ideally. Also not sure if I should stay at 100€ budget or go even lower

>>107803237
Truth is everything depends on your anatomy, except maybe speakers in a perfectly treated room. Buying headphones purely on graphs is folly.

880/990 don't really have a place with the 6xx existing, so no one cares to mention them anymore unless they want a lot of treble from the 990,to each his own. dt 770 still have a place considering how trash every other cheap closed back is, they are quite well built and are quite comfortable, i have the 770 pros myself that i bought on a price error. They are still made in germany and parts are commonly sold as opposed to some jap/chink stuff.
generally though with that much added bass and treble no audiophile will recommend them, but i still feel like they have a place considering the competition, but a lot of the sub $300 stuff is bought by people who get a headphone then never come back here so you won't see them mentioned, the 6xx being the best example of that or the 600/650
>>107799335
I usually listen to flacs on my pc and cds with my speakers if I'm not feeling any of my vinyls. I also sometimes listen to casettes because some old people gave me their wicked collection and i love it

I also don't trust these reviews sites like RTings because by their logic my father's ear piercing and squeezing ATH M50X's should be far superior in terms of accuracy.

i've bought 7-10 pairs of headphones used or open box, only one ever had a smell, and it was a clearly an amazon return swap so i returned them and got my money back. My hd 800's were bought from a thrift store and i had no problems, my aeons had super fucked pads but i knew that before buying them, still no hygiene problem
>>107807124
what ohm does it say on the side? 80/250/600?
I found even the dt 770 80 ohm to use a decent amount of power compared to some of my other stuff. If you need more volume you need to buy an external amplifier but most are reasonable now.
>>107806819
>Why do people recommend the Sennheiser HD 560S and praise it so much for accurate audio if it has undermphasized bass? Isn't that paradoxical?
Any headphone that cheap is going to be flawed, it doesn't really get solved until you get a decent all around planar like the aeon, everything before that is just about best value. It probably doesn't help redditors shill that headphone more than chinkfiman at their peak so take everything you hear about it with a massive grain of salt
>>107806385
6xx launched at $129 usd, they are back up to 229, but go on sale for sub 200 which is still worth the cost over the dt 990 for people who want something that will probably last 20 years if we go on previous history of the 600 line, also not a treble cannon

And a happy ching chong bing bong to you sir.

On PC, you can use equalizer software to tweak how the sound coming out of your speakers sound

If I'm using speakers with a game console where the audio isn't running through a PC first, is there a way to still tweak that sound output? Do they make physical equalizers I can run in between the speakers and the display?

If so, what should I be looking up and be aware of if I want to buy one?

a lot of old stereo receivers/amps had eq settings you could adjust, there were also separate components you could buy called 'graphic equalizers'. Schiit makes the loki/lokius but they are kind of expensive but so are some of the old ones for what they are.

>>107808081
God I wish JDS Labs made an all in one amp/dac that was reasonably priced. I like their aesthetic way more than schiit and their customer service is incredible but I don't want a stack and I don't want to pay 600 dollars either.

>>107807515
its 80 ohms. Would any amplifier work or 80+ is the lowest I can go? any specific brand/s? Kind of stretched my budget already so if its more than that might as well return them and wait

>>107808124
there is a 32 ohm version of the dt 770
most amplifiers should do the job, the ones in the op would all work, if you want even cheaper you can find used schiit magnis for really cheap and they are incredibly common so there is always one out there. if ur a european you might only have chinese stuff on the market as i don't think jds or schiit is very common over there

>>107808124
a cheap chinkshit aliexpress dongle should be more than enough for 80 ohm 770s unless you really like volume so high that it ruptures your eardrums, you really don't need one of those expensive bulky audiophool amplifiers every retard likes to recommend around here.

I was thinking about buying somebody's 2 year used 560S for about 40 bucks cheaper than new but don't know if there is risk beyond hygiene such as wear and tear.

doesn't seem like much of a deal, if you need to replace the pads you probably don't even save money

most of the headphones i bought used the discount was like half off original, my aeons were $450 cad open box instead of like 800 ish new, my r70x were 220 instead of 479, hd 800s were 800 cad instead of 1700-2k, the pad or material costs play a big part of it being worth the cost too, for instance aeon pads are $130 cad or beyer pads at like $70 cad

Instead of a JDS product what do you guys think about Schiit? Right now I have a Fosi ZH3, it's working mostly fine but there is any annoying thing where it takes a fraction of a second for sound to start playing so you might miss the first word in a video. I was looking at schiit as an alternative american choice.
Between the Gunnr and the modi do you think one has a real advantage? The gunnr is a few bucks more but are those "gamer" extras actually worth it? What do they really add? I was thinking the modi might be better because its a refresh whereas the gunnr is pretty old at this point. The zh3 was 200 dollars so they all pretty much cost the same. I can still return the zh3 by the end of jan and switch. The only thing holding me back is I like the remote control with the zh3 and the schiit stuff doesn't have that.

they still are the only non yellows with an otl amp thats affordable to my knowledge, i bought a valhalla 2 for that reason because i don't want some chink burning my house down like that darkvoice fiasco
also own a modi multibit and magni3+
sometimes the magni knob gets scratchy but its only use to me these days is for my powered speakers through my vcr for my n64

Does anyone have any opinions on the hd 490 pro? or could compare them to the 650/6xx
Seen a pair locally for very reasonable

I have a pair coming in the mail on sunday. Gone through a lot of headphones trying to find the one and I'm hoping it's it. I have the 600 and 550 and both sound nice but clamp too hard or in weird spots. Most reviews say the 490's are much more comfortable while still sounding almost as good if not better in some areas. I think you could do a lot worse and if you found a good deal I would go for it.
Found this review today too which was very positive about them.

You could have gotten hit with a surge or lightning or something. Why would the power flipping off and on fuck up the DSP like that

Frequency response is how loud the headphone/speaker plays any frequency, usually represented as a curve on a graph or a range that fits in a described +- dB. It's probably the most important measure of sound quality.

So for example if I place you at normandy during D day,you will hear the explosions and gunshots with perfect audio quality because you're not reproducing the sound with speakers at home and introducing the inaccuracy of those speakers. If you record the artillery blasts with your cell phone and play it back on your phone it won't sound real at all not just because your cell phone can't get loud enough, but it's tiny speakers are completely silent in the low frequency range. The perfect headphones and speakers have a flat frequency response and play all frequencies at equal loudness so that you can listen to anything accurately and someone else with different perfect headphones and speakers will hear the same thing.

They make DSPs that have digital or analog inputs and then output with RCA or something, and you set equalization with a PC. There's Mini DSP and parts express/dayton audio has one. Don't know how many features or in and outs you need. They have eARCs one that connect to your tv and get the audio from HDMI so anything plugged to your TV can output to it, if you didn't have 5.1 or something. The mini DSPs can't decode dolby/dts though and only PCM which pisses me off. You can even get ones with bluetooth so you can connect your phone to it and play your music.

I meant optical or SPDIF or the orange one or whatever the fuck its called. I'm tired and typed this nonsense for some reason.

You can play tones with this tone generator, you will hear some frequencies are clearly louder than others and some you can't hear at all, some you can't hear because you're human, some you can't hear because of aging or genetics, some are fucked up because of the room you're in, some are fucked up because your speaker/headphone drivers suck. But you'll understand that the frequencies aren't playing at an equal loudness. Microphones can also have this problem where they don't record all frequencies at equal loudness.

How risky is it to buy used dac/amps? This looks like a really good deal, would jds honor a warranty if I buy it used or am I taking my chances?

It is quite literally one of the most important characteristics of a headphone next to distortion. It's how the headphone sounds. If the frequency response is bad, the headphone will sound bad. Now, you can fix it with EQ, but only if you're not limited by distortion. And if there's a deep notch in the frequency response(like the pre-2021 LCD-X used to have before they fixed it) then even with EQ it might be difficult because applying a peak filter with a value of >15dB to fix one notch is a little difficult. If a reviewer doesn't post the frequency response then that "reviewer" is basically worthless. Subjective impressions from listening don't matter that much due to HRTF - meaning everyone hears things differently. What someone percieves as too much treble might be not enough treble for you. This is due to the shape of our ears and ear canals. So a review without the frequency response means nothing since despite the reviewer saying some headphones sound "warm", they might actually be bright to you. FR in a review is the bare minimum to be credible, even better if they post THD, group delay, cumulative spectral decay or step response. You don't see any of these in most reviews because audiophiles are retarded and would rather believe in changing the sound via gold plated cables of different DAC chips, among other things.

>How risky is it to buy used dac/amps?
If the seller has good reviews then it's probably fine. Really hard to break one intentionally and if the seller has decent reviews it's probably not a dead unit.
>would jds honor a warranty if I buy it used
Doubtful they would. Maybe if the guy still has the original receipt/invoice from when he bought them. But even then they might not.
