I just got tricked into paying $450 for a set of headphones (they were on sale) so I can finally hear lossless audio, and I can't hear the difference at all. The only difference is that my ears hurt by the time the album is over. Lossless is a scam.
>>129075907your fav albums?
>>129075961The normal stuff I guess. Let it Be by the Replacements, Velvet Underground and Nico, I Want to see the Bright Lights Tonight. I just listened to Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits because I heard that's supposed to be a big audiophile album. But I couldn't hear any difference.
beyerdynamic dt 770 is all i need
>>129075907>Lossless is a scam.Yes, 320 kbps is all you need.
>bluetooth headphonesfukken pleb
>>129076304I was using them wired, which supports lossless audio, not that you could even tell.
>>129076065>Brothers in Arms by Dire StraitsThat was recorded in a third world studio. Try Love Over Gold instead.
Also they break super easy, tons of people have complained that one day they just decide to no longer connect with their phone.
You need an amp with a jiggawatt
>>129075907All wireless headphones sound the same
I had all my music set to lossless but realized it doesn't matter because i use bluetooth headphones. So I lowered the quality.
Senn HD-600s
I got sony headphones to listen to my sony walkman device
>>129075907nah you can tell the difference or at least the flac files stimulate your ears in different ways than mp3s. you need a decent dac tho. most laptop/pcs dac are trash. i use a cheapop YAMAHA MG10XU ( 24‑bit / 192 kHz) for my flacs
>>129077288>or at least the flac files stimulate your ears in different ways than mp3skek you can't hear any difference between flac and 320 kbps mp3do a proper axb test and you will fail to distinguish any difference
OP do you have an amp? Are you trying to drive high impedence headphones with the amp in your smartphone or laptop like a t0tal n00b?
>>129077527I'm just streaming Apple Music.
>>129077527>>129077550Sounds like we have a case of pilot error.
>>129077483the last 2 its my bad i got bored and decided within 2 secs.
>>129077752>the last twooh you mean the ones that were at the bit rate i specifically mentioned?i use picrel and i can't tell the difference between 320 kbps and flaci can hear down to a 0.2 db difference in level, 5 cents in pitch, and can easily tell the difference btween 8 bit and 16 bit files but 320 kbps mp3s are not perceptibly different from flachttps://abx.digitalfeed.net/
>>129077550You're strumming an electric guitar that's not plugged into anything
>>129077550If you didn't know, you have to have Airpods Max wired to your phone for lossless audio
>>129076065>Let it Be by the Replacements, Velvet Underground and Nico
>>129078445pleb newfag
>>129076065>what albums do i use to test headphones? >oh you know… >the oldest tinniest garage ones
>>129075907you'll need an amp
>>129079086you carry and amp and a telephone in your pocket?
lmao
>>129075907the only headphones I'd ever pay a lot for are dre beats for like $129 at target, other than that you can get perfectly great quality headphones at Walmart for 10 to 15 bucks. I've been using these Walmart headphones for years, made a hundreds of beats with em. They last about 6 months to a year usually and longer if you don't use em a lot which is actually surprising for 10-15 bucks. Expensive headphones are a complete scam. Expensive anything is a scam really.

i bought JBL LIVE 500BT ote its bothe wired/bt. i paid 40 bucks and they lasted me 2 years
>>129076909what about a niggawatt?
>>129079215My amp is about 1/5th the size of my phone
>>129079215this made me laugh so hard
>>129077483i got 2 out of 3 songs right on the axb test and my hearing isnt even good anymore
>>129075907I love my headphones.The quality and sound signature completely change the range of music I can enjoy.The FLAC shit I could cry to alone in my bedroom while stoned I'd be absolutely embarrassed to play over a set of speakers for anyone, or even just myself.
if it ain't wired it ain't shit
>>129075907just get airpods, headphones are egregious boomerslop ancient techcomfort is king
>>129075907I can hear the difference in my car. That's sad.
>>129075907You gotta give them time to burn-in. My Sennheisers sounded like shit for the first 100 hours or so.
>>129085167Airpods are for black people
>>129083639i used to own a pair of these and i fucking hated them because of them im never buying a closed set ever again
>>129085896I was planning to buy them but in light of this I won't.
>>129085167I got airpods as a gift a couple birthdays ago and ended up returning them because they sounded like shit even compared to $20 koss wired phones. They’re fine if you want them for phone calls and podcasts, but they are not suitable for music unless you don’t care at all about sound.
>>129075907Forget about muh formats and muh STAX headphones, if you're over 25 you're physically incapable of registering TRUE lossless music because of the natural breakdown of inner ear cells and nerve pathways.
>>129090103Thanks doc
>>129087303the pads will wear out really fucking fast because they have to be worn on the outside of the ear unless you have the tiny ears of child. all for some bass heavy dogshit that will make you go deaf really quickly if you dare listen to more than an album per day. also the silver plastic part breaks really easily if you drop them on accident. ive broken a lot of headphones by tugging on the cable by accident walking past them while they were connected to my computer but my current cheapo sennheiser set seems borderline unbreakable despite the seeminly cheap construction, they dont get slammed too hard because the cable disconnects itself really well
