I just got JM6 for small bookshelfs setup. After 30s I can understand why retards claim there is no such a thing like soundstage in pos. People in blindfolds talking about landscapes, colors and shit and arguing with microscope and telescope owners kek
>>108697870Wtf, sharur is epzo now?
>>108700355Music is made for speakers. Some stereo effects don't even work on pos.
Since /hpg/ is dead, what other "studio headphones" classics should I consider getting? I already have a pair of DT990 PRO's, with the classic ruined Beyer velour earpads, and I've been considering getting a pair of HD600's for the sake of owning that "holy grail" of open backs.Though I'd like to have a pair of closed backs as well to isolate myself from noise with the comfort of just slapping on a pair of cans instead of fiddling with IEM's. DT770's tend to have the same velour pads that don't isolate sound. Other pairs I've been considering are cans like MDR-7506. So idk what's best to put on my "near future consoom purchases" bucket list.
>>108698656ordered.
>put the space travel 2 clear shell/case on mine>can't get it offfucking seriously? how do i get it off without breaking anything?
>>108698327was for>>108698254
>>108701112I mean looks like you got it all figured out already?maybe instead of dogshit like 7506 buy something good like HD490pro or 480pro for closed back?
>>108702249>HD480 Proeh, ig, tho they cost more than HD600's so uh, idk, I'd rather spend that kind of money on the huh duh six hunge O's first.
>>108702298you wanted to consoom tho? HD-600 is a must have either way
>>108702310Yeah but not that far. I still have a Model F repro to pay for and a job to find so, small steps. And obv HD600 > closed backs, I still have cheapo chink IEM's if I really need to zone out.Tho apparently HD480's are great because the bass doesn't behave like it would on closed backs according to reviewers. So that would be interesting.https://youtu.be/ls7HOu9FmFA
>>108701005just get pos with techs that can reproduce good imaging and soundstage bro
>>108701005>Some stereo effects don't even worklike what?
>>108697095Dead hobby
>>108703273Solved by epz
>>108703273people who know eqing shitbuds is more or less the ceiling of portable audio and that all dacs and cables sound the same arent surprised at all by this
>>108703762>people who knowmeaning nobody serious. what pretentious bullshit
>>108703794Chatgpt isn't serious.

>>108704608the irony is the video proves headphones are more revealing and more sensitive to spatial detail. headphones remove speaker crossfeed, so phase and timing differences are more exposed, not less. if something falls apart on headphones, that’s a translation issue in the mix, not a playback limitation. the whole entire video is based on how psychoacoustics is related to mixing and playback differences.
>>108704806Kys clanker.
>>108704837>my counterpoint proved your point>fuckI accept your concession.
>>108704863You have no IEMs, no speakers and no point.
I am looking for something the m500 aesthetics without the hatsune miku stuff, is there any out there or do i need to wait for them to release a regular version?
>>108705086>$300+>64GB Non-Expandable StorageNot even Miku could make me buy such a dogshit device
yall think lady #4 would like foxpos?
>>108705487pretty sure it has a micro sd card slot
the back of my ears have started developing blisters and i think it's because i wear headphones too much. might have to switch to something in-ear but i am worried about the long term effects on my ear canal like hearing damage or more ear wax
>>108705967>more ear waxnot really a thing unless you are unlucky>hearing damagedon't buy bright POS. EQ out length modes and other resonances. don't turn volume up too much. and you'll be fine
>>108705988what is POS?
>>108706014pinnacle of sound
Redpill me on KZ.
>>108701112Why did /hpg/ die anyways? I only visit them like once every 2-3 months.
>>108705988>don't turn volume up too muchSuch a simple advice that people ignore far too often.Also take breaks from listenan'. Some minor hearing damage can be reversed.
are there open back equivalents for in-ear listening? i'm thinking the driver hovers over the ear instead of sticking it inside the ear
>>108706277stealth revisions galore>>108706288you answered yourself>>108706322earbuds or ear clips or (real) bone conduction pos
>>108706337>you answered yourselfOops.Weird that IEMs are somehow more discussed on /g/ than headphones.

I finally made my stupid headphones sound good by auto-EQing them to match a $5000 pairThanks for reading my blog
>>108707372>made my stupid headphones sound goodImpossible. Even $5000 ones don't sound good.
