>kills off /hpg/ once for all
What's the worst thing that has ever happened to headphone discussion, and why it is audio-mullah Amir with his horde of objectivist zealots?

No more joy, no more experimenting, no more human element, only measurement charts and iron-hard adherence to objectivist dogma.
>>
Where did the speaker/headphone threads go...
>>
>>108868149
Audio-mullah’s disciples kill off all discussion by groupshitting on any subjective impressions or opinions. Kills off all the fun in threads, so they die.
>>
ah yes the default view from nowhere. one day i'll catch up to reality like them
>>
>>108867352
You can still experiment with colouring sound through tubes or whatever else, you just make that concession it sounds better to you vs any claims its the objective best.
FWIW its not like ASR is in a good spot either. Other than fighting with Danny over speaker mods, Amir gets either no traction on reviews or most of his forum outright disagrees with him on his takes re: distortion. The HP.com guys being more palletable and friendly, and experimenting with HRTF stuff, has pretty much killed any interest in what Amir does anymore. People just know him as that guy who still can't measure headphones right and is probably paid by Shenzhen.
/hpg/ is kinda pointless cause its either people asking about budget shit that sounds like ass or regurgitating Amir stuff. You're better off buying cheap Ali Express IEMs over a dogshit fiio closed back or w/e.
For me, I'll make a thread about my Uli when it arrives (apparently June, they needed to fix the clamping after CJNY) just because people were curious about it. Otherwise there's not much interest for me to keep cooking breads.

there is nothing worse, his entire retarded fan base are the same iem niggers who would take the #2 spot
>For me, I'll make a thread about my Uli when it arrives
thought i missed it when i stopped going on /hpg/ hopefully they are worth the wait

>/hpg/ is kinda pointless cause its either people asking about budget shit that sounds like ass or regurgitating Amir stuff. You're better off buying cheap Ali Express IEMs over a dogshit fiio closed back or w/e.
basically
every single thread just devolved into 6xx or dt 770 retards having meltdowns if someone didn't like either headphone, or whatever pile of trash they owned
I'm always amazed just how many third worlders are on this forum, but seeing shit like /iemg/ opened my eyes, were people use $40 and 'saving up' in the same sentence
makes complete sense these people are who tell you their $20 chu 2's can be eq'd to he-1s or mimic hd 800s

shame, they were sometimes fun to post in after all

>tempted by mdr z1r's
>let me double check they still sell replacement parts just in case, uk it's a $2k headphone after all
>they don't
apparently they won't even repair it unless it's under warranty
well i guess thats the end of that potential purchase onto the next thing i guess

i’ve been rocking my airpod max gen 1 for like 5 years and they still sound great. need to source a replacement battery for them because it’s old but they are still kicking

Which part of "Beats, Japan" tempted you.

>>108871509

for like three months all those retarded stranger things larpers all bought casette players and portapros
they must of been so happy
>>
>>108871490
They're discontinued according to Japanese bloggers too, there's been zero restocks in Japan for months. They're cool but you're gonna sink so much into maint work on them it just isn't worth it.
>>108871601
>>108871605
Fiio sell Koss copycats now so there's still a crazy market for their shit
>>108871026
The wait is justified based on the fact they didn't chimp out at CJNY from the feedback they got on what they thought was perfect and instead just went back and fixed the issues. The ETA guys are cool so I'm glad I bought even if it's 3 months later than we expected.
>makes complete sense these people are who tell you their $20 chu 2's can be eq'd to he-1s or mimic hd 800s
Doesn't help that this is what Resolve is unironically telling redditors these days lmao

Also since this thread is Amir themed:
https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-research-on-audibility-of-distortion-in-headphones.70966/page-3#post-2577439
Was fun to read up on this dude, who used to shill Amir talking points in the threads, absolutely melt down at Amir after realising it's all fugazi and Amir is the opposite side of cable niggers on the audio horseshoe
>>
>>108871916
this guy is really something, ruins half the /hpg/ threads for 6 months because he can't shut the fuck up about schiit, buys chinkfiman, repeats amir word for word then ends up like this
hilarious honestly

I'm pretty sure hes still around here, whenever one guy would get accused of being him in /hpg/ he would splerg out, and hes doing it again in /iemg/ maybe they are just spiritual soul mates

i wonder what did him in on amir though, thats a pretty big 180
>>
audio has been solved for like 300 years now, what is there to even get excited or talk about about?
>>
psychedelics are just chemicals lol
>>
I’d much rather eat plankton with SBAF chads than be a virgin objectivist jihadist
>>
what killed hpg was me not spamming every thread with 100 posts after a few months of doing that
