What's your favorite pair of headphones?
AirPods Pro 2nd gen
>>110077023These ugly little fuckers.
>>110077023Or these bomb proof DJ standards.

what do we think of the sennheiser hd 550 ? its on sale right now
>>110077023
>>110078478Still classic but i think there is much more options: HD480, HD490, Aune AR5000 MK2 and even planars if u like.
with a microphone
>>110077023DT-990 Pro w/EQ (pic related, cliff at 12.5hz is because DX3Pro+ thinks anything less than 10hz is DC and goes into protection)
>>110077023Dust magnet
>>110077023Sennheiser HD 490 Pro.I bought a pair of pairs because they're so comfortable.
>>110078841>DX3Pro+ thinks anything less than 10hz is DC and goes into protectionInteresting.It's below audible range anyways.You can still feel such low frequencies if the amplitude is high enough and it can be fun feeling it on your chest but I don't think I would ever want that happening to my head from wearing headphones.
Those Superlux AKG clones and the EVO model with original(?) design.
>>110078885I only found out since OpenAL HRTF occasionally outputs less than 10hz.
chink zmf atrium knockoffs. Sound like hd650 with bass
Logitech devices tend to be good, not just for headphones. It gets the job done, isn't too expsensive or pointlessly advanced.
>>110077023I like open back but sounds kinda gay doesn't it? open back, isn't that faggot behavior? they need a chad name
>>110080947Just call them bare back headphones
>>110077153At least get the kph30i and stop your larp
>>110078893>OpenAL HRTFbased HRTF enjoyer

>>110077023Sennheiser HD 560S & 599, whenever one breaks or whatever I always replace with the same pair.
still nothing better than hd600/650/6xx/580 at a reasonable price maybe DCA aeon open 2 could be decent but planars always have channel matching issues and QC issues and they're kind of heavy
>>110077023Dewalt noise canceling headphones with built in radio tuner.
Recently replaced my old (and extremely broken due to poor quality hinge clamps) HyperX Cloud 2 gaming headset with a pair of HD600s (mostly because of a similar comfort level on my head)I definitely notice the improvement in sound, but as an audio noob am still sorta half-paranoid if I made the right call or not. Since I did go from $60 headset to $250 headphones.To answer the OP question I like these more than my last headphones so probably these?
hd6xx still going strongbefore that I think it was ath-ad700
dt990 prowill never need to buy anything else
>>110077023Fox headphones, endgame.
you aren't going to like the answer
>>110078836i have those on my head right now, they are nice. i've had these for several years now they just werk.
I'm trying to buy some headphones actually right now. My big priorities are decent durability because I seem to break headphones a lot, and wireless because my desk area is quite cluttered and I do move around, cook, etc, while listening to stuff. Trying to keep my budget sane. I was looking at either some UGREEN Studio Pro or CMF Headphone Pros, but, I don't know. Any suggestions?
>>110087255i just love their wide sound stage and how well they are made. i had mine for four years now. only con is that i can't replace their ear pads but i just bought a new pair for when they fail.
>>110087639ask an AI
>>110087837I am. Autistic Idiots.
>>110087872Sorry, go ask SI
beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro X 48 ohm
>>110087206am i supposed to know what these are you dumbass?
>>110087872Vmoda m100 are built like a tank
>>110089689Fox headphones, endgame.
>>110090540poorfag where's your he-1?
>>110077023i liked the ath-ad1000x the best but theyre also the most expensive i ever bought but im a slob so i can only have dt770s which are also very nice and probably my actual favorite. i like the vband for my metal and whiny alt music.
I have:>DT990>KSC75>PortaProWhat else should I get? DT770's for closed back isolation and bass? Or mayhaps the MDR-7506?
>>110077159>blocks your path
DT 770 pro, but they have started falling appart and replacement for the cushions are crazy.Might upgrade to dt 990?
>>110077023the plastic being like that has no effect on the audio btw
>>110092204>ath-ad1000xGood shit. Loved my audio technicas. They were my first "audiophile" headphones and I rocked them for years. They were super comfortable. Eventually got myself sennheisers.
>>110092771K, and? It just looks cool.
>he500i love these, but built like soviet tank so hurts having it on longer than 30 minutes.>arya stealthopen, airy, clean, but horribly sibilant and creates pressure in my ear drums cuz of huge drivers and there are no venting in the chassis to alleviate it.>focal azurysimpressive positioning performance but tiny soundstage, head hurts after a while, made for tiny french people heads.>fiio ft1sounds quite fine until you reach the treble and then it goes all over the place.very comfortable tho, use it on the steam deck often. glasses might fuck with bass.>660snobass and sounds like its behind curtains, but handles junk mastered modern tracks with ease, not sibilant at all. maybe i will eq these in the future>momentum 5with glasses these have too hot treble, even listening to podcasts is painful, what is sennheiser doing?also ANC cancels out a lot of the lower frequencies so some people can feel motion sick.>xm6good enough for daily usage, doesnt piss me off.
I really really really really like these headphones
>>110092097estatics are overrated
>>110095532That's what a poorfag would say
using Hifiman Arya Stealth for now, can war them for 10+ hrs. Connected to a Fiio K11 (just beacause they have no 3.5mm input). Crusher Evo via bluetooth if i want bass. I have no idea about anything audio related desu. But the hifiman are so comfy. Usecase: Youtube videos and gaming, sometimes VS (i use a rhode poodcaster fro VC). Miss the days where i could just stand up and walk around the house and still keep talking.
>>110077023HD650s
>>110095532Estat QC is so terrible that channel balance knob is a standard feature on estat amps.
>>110077023I'm still using my Sennheiser HD558 that I bought in 2013 off of a /g/'s recommendation. One of the best tech related purchases I've ever made. I've replaced the cable probably a half dozen times and the earpads once (should have done it many more times but lazy).
>>110092097>>110095656You're so mad and poor, you cried to a janny to get my post deleted. Stay poor.
>>110099407>Fecal
>>110099623What's your favorite brand anon?
Beyerdynamic T1 3rd gen + balanced cable to them + FiiO (or any decent) amp is the best hi-fi sound you can get without going into cable holder territory
>>110099768oh and they are built like a fucking tankI am a slob and drop and mishandle cans. All lower gen beyers and everything else I had eventually breaks in some way, but aside from scuffs T1 still feel brand new for 6+ years now
Id want a headset that is wireless, active noise canceling, closed and have 2.4ghz dongle for low latency connectionThere surprisingly few out on google ai, and they all cost like 300€Many brands fuck up the low latency part for whatever reason, or theres no anc. Chinks love selling low cost sets that are just bt and only suitable for listening to music while jogging, but not good for desktop pc use.
>>110099818razer and audeze are the only brands that make usable wireless headphones. i think razer is cheaper than audeze and they have modern anc and whatever
akg 701s are severely underrated. they punch above even the $2k range
>>110099768>balanced cableok so you're a retarded audiophool that has 0 understanding of how audio works and therefore your opinion must be ignoredthanks for clarifying.
>>110100093i tried the 712 but they sounded ass
bought hd650 in 2011, I've had to replace the headband twice, earmuffs once, and 3 cables but they still work. buying a modular headset paid off.
>>110100093I have k702(k701 with removeable cable) and they're both unlistenable and unwearable.
which headphones below $300 have the best ANC?
I have been using DT 770's for 10+ years, but I want to switch to open back headphones. What are some fun open back headphones? I don't care about the response being as flat as possible.
>>110077023I got the AKG K371 and for the price they sound great and are comfortable.
>>110102953very destitute post
>>110098262these are max chinkshit even if you replace the earpads the headband flakes. Even if you dont ever use it the oxidation will make it flake. You cant win with these
are there headphones that won't make me fucking deaf before 40? or that won't cause me unbearable pain after 1h of use despite not being tight at all due to my autistic hypersensitivities?I have to resort to earbuds but the deafness concern is still there. Don't know if there's actually good earbuds.Is pic related good?
>>110104474yep. these have awesome bass. so easy to EQ too unlike retarded V shape headphones
>>110080183Logical choice of technology!
>>110102953Beyers didn't give it away?
>>110077023Audeze Maxwell, and AirPods Pro 3 when outside.Anything else is retarded. Nothing beats this quality/price relationship. Maybe a Bose equivalent on the AirPods, but there's no rival for that price on the Audeze.
I like my AKG K701 and Hifiman Sundara.
>>110106747But the ones I truly prefer are the DCA Noire XO.
>>110077023660S2 but I don't know how to preserve the pad quality
I bought some very nice sounding earbuds.They arrived and I've been walking around with them all day testing them out.Turns out my ears don't enjoy having earbuds in them (or IEMs) and ANC makes me want to throw up in the same way as motion sickness.Will give it a few more days but, fuck.
>>110077023Marshall major 5 100 hours of battery life best one
>>110077023HD650s with a Kimber Kable I've had 10+ years. No real reason to 'upgrade' or switch to anything else.
I also own a pair of hd600s. I had akg 612s for the longest time before. I think I prefer the comfort of the akgs. Not sure what I'll buy when these die
Sony MDR-7506. I have 2 pairs, because I like them so much. Very durable, very cheap, comfortable to wear and actually sound good. All other headphones I've ever owned have worn out from my constant usage or been uncomfortable, only the pads got destroyed on these so far.
>>110107526ive spent thousands on headphones and the fact that i still wanna reach for these is infuriating to me, headphones were solved 30 years ago.
How are you guys wearing out headphones or having them die?I have several thousands of listening hours on my only pair and they are still fine.
>>110107647
>>110107647>Several thousand Why you bragging about your brand new headphones?
>>110105106airpods pro 2
>>110106773had chance to buy them brand new for cheap and passed. After months still thinking about them, harman style bass boost and planar driver looks like dream for me. Guled shit leather pads are joke but given that I add bass shelf for every planar Ive had - noire xo looks like great option.
