Yeah it's based.
>>86936609OLLO S4X and HD560S (focal clear killers)
>>86936936graphs don't lie. This graph exists proving that the Focal Clear has an amazing FR, and since there is one graph it is irrefutable evidence that it is good. And no other graphs anyone posts can be taken seriously.
>>86936936why keyboard look nuclear
>>86936949continual reminder that the Focal Clears have shockingly low distortion.If only all headphones had this low distortion! Especially such low distortion in the bass, wow!
if my 6XX's ever die, then I'll probably side-grade to 560s, I'm unsure of whether or not I'd like the extra treble they have though because I quite like the warmth of the 650s.
A top 5 headphone of ALL time! and WAY better than the Clear MG. Imagine if someone conflated the Clear and the MG as if they were the same headphone. Boy that would be embarrassing!
>>86936991Everyone agrees.. everyone with sense, taste, and intelligence, that is lol. Focal Clears are S tier and even though they are expensive, you get what you pay for!!
>>86936953nuclear? lol. It's a Keychron Q1 with stock keycaps. Drop Holy Panda switches. Pretty good combo. I wish my Matt3o keycaps fit on the 75% but some of the keys just don't fit. I've been keeping an eye out for a retrofit set of keys to make them fit into the Q1 but, alas, I've yet to see them.

>>86937306>the Focal Clear is a Hifiman Sundara in disguiseinteresting pivot in the plot we have here. Let's see where this goes.
>>86937306Oh shit wrong one, sundara actually BTFO clears too
>>86937316You made a grave mistake, sir. I already posted a FR graph of the Focal Clear and since, by your own admission, graphs don't lie then that means we have to accept the results of the first FR graph posted ITT here>>86936949
>>86937234>useless DIY rig>>86937294>useless DIY rigI wonder why you're afraid of posting real measurements of this headphone.

>>86937305Josh seems like he's just a completely clueless bandwagoner, DMS is annoying.The only one I ever liked was that Metal571 guy but he stopped making videos because he hated it.
>>86936989extra treble doesn't stop a headphone from feeling warm. The redpill to warmth is bumped mid frequencies ~1k and treble that falls slightly short of a target curve. That plus the accurate bass on the 560s will make them feel as deep as the 650 in all likelihood.

>>86942998dt770 ohms>>86943367Cables don't alter the sound of headphones. Just get whatever looks nicer to you, has the right length and is within your budget. I keep seeing north americans shilling for hart audio and periapt when it comes to cables, maybe look for those.
>>86943440Worth a shot. Trouble I keep running into is that every cord I look at will have decent enough reviews but eventually the "the prongs are the wrong width and damaged the plugs" or similar complaints come up and I get a little wary. I'm willing to pay a tard tax for peace of mind.
>>86936595I have the same headphone as Christina Grimmie but it is as dead as her now.
why are headphones so shoddily madei had to resolder a fucking wire in my new k702s a couple of months after purchasemy other pair, mdr-7506s lasted 7 fucking years and even then it was the actual driver that gave out, and i had a choice between legit and counterfeit parts to replace it with, gorillion years after the model was introduced

In reality it's worth every penny of it's $150 pricetag and not a dollar more.

I finally have the free time to go through with my stupid mod project.tl;dr>have defective AD700X>have aliexpress "Denon" drivers>have soldering ironThe only thing is that I'm really shit at soldering and soldering to drivers is not exactly beginner friendly (small pads, stay too long and you burn the voice coil which is a dead driver)Any practical tip before I fuck shit up?Other than that it seems like an easy mod, the driver fit near perfectly in the enclosure and there's no messy glued shit in there so it's nice to deal with, and if you fuck the headband cable you can turn it dualsided very easily.

>>86947625Add some fresh solder (or flux if you have it) to help the old solder flow better. This should allow you to get the soldering done quickly enough to not damage anything.Pre-tin the pads on the little PCB on the new drivers, as well as the headphone wiring. Touch the two together, touch the soldering iron (with a bit of solder on the tip) to that, and they'll fuse right together.

Thoughts on bone conduction earphones? I haven't been treating my ears well, so they seem like a less harmful option for me. I find that I wake up with a little bit of tinnitus after a night of headphone use.
>>86949515they are not less harmful than traditional drivers, all they do is transform your head into the drivers insteadfocus on preventing further damage, buy hearing protection and listen at low volume
>>86947176You've yet to explain why the bloated bass and shrieking treble of the 560s are desirable over the smooth, creamy, and clear Focals. maybe if i was on meds I would agree but since i am mentally healthy, I can appreciate a headphone with a proper FR.

>>86950946No, unless you have a proper room or put the DSP correction effort, you should take a roller coaster of a FR as a given for speakers. With headphones you take the room completely out of the picture and you can even sort of work with universal EQ presets.
Hey everybody
>>86950946>>86951003Not only is bass response completely mangled by the room but you have several Q 10-30 resonances thrown in for good measure.

>>86951364There aren't many people here, so one can easily just recommend the same headphone for everyone (the DT990 guy is another example).

Guys. I have an old Sennheiser HD558. Its not bad I think, but I want something newer and better I guess at a higher price range.

>>86951364>>86951436yes, but the whole opinion started with one schizo shilling FOR them too. if you go all the way back to the archives of when the 560s first released you'll see one faggot that heavily shilled it for like 8 threads straight

worth upgrading to entry level audiophile (e.g. dt 770) if I have something like Sennheiser G4me one ?I understand beyerdynamics are nice and everything, but is the quality really that different ?I never tried them and I keep hearing people say they are very "bright", and that it might sounds bad especially someone coming from SennheiserJust wondering if the gamer shit is even that bad compared to "real" headsets
>>86952387>Just wondering if the gamer shit is even that bad compared to "real" headsetsit really is, but i doubt the dt 770 will be hugely better
>>86952387a 770 is probably going to be on the same level.spend 2-300 if you're going to upgrade from what you've got.then look at hd600s/xx and sundaras
>>86952410correct but terrible recommendations
>>86952401I'm just wondering because I did get a mdr7506 along the way and the quality was nice but obviously i'm just plugging str8 into pc so I couldn't hit the Ohms required to power it fully and it sounds pretty quiet. So I would most likely need a dac if I want better headsets.>>86952410what is the "upgrade" when you get more expensive headphoens, im just wondering because like i just mentioned i do have the 7506 and everyone kept telling me it was the standard for audio mixing or whatever and when i tried them I couldn't really hear a big difference from my gaymer headset

I just picked up a pair of used SPH9600s for ~50 bucks.Think they're comfy, like the build and weight of them. Think they have good separation and presence but their not as clear as I want them.The bass is a bit muddy sometimes, but really fun listening times.
>>86952603yes they have too much high bass
>>86952539My needs? Dont be a turbotard. The open closed debate is a meme, i dont care whos listening to my music i wanna listen to music as if it was live
>>86952643alright, i recommend the harakiri
>>86952647sorry im not a faggot
I've tried the Sony ANC headphones and they are dogshit dragged through the mud with zero separation and no detail whatsoeverSo when they announced the new XM5 I decided to look at what people say and everyone is like "we all know Sony makes the best sounding ANC headphones" or some shit.Are people deaf?
>>86952676youre a big guy
>>86952731consumers just dont know any better
Ok so I tried my mdr7506s on again and I think i hear a much better quality then my gaming headset, now that I really listened to some music.Are the 7506s worth upgrading from ? I'm not really an audiophile just want a nice natural soundAlso have a question, how do you guys swap between headphones and speakers, like physically having to go behind it is a pain, how do you guys set it up so you don't have to do that, have it plugged in to an amp/dac whatever, or what ?I bought a splitter but i feel like it cuts the power and the headphones are quitter from it
>>86952736yes
>>86952731ANC headphones are a convenience thing first and foremost and the average sucker just loves convenience.
>>86952387>>86952410>>86952434>>86952478>>86952522>>86952643>dt 770>dt 880>hd560s>he400seThat's it.
>>86953144The only good one there is 560S
>>86952731bought my galaxy buds pro for convenience.love the battery life and charge time, the charge case, the ANC/normal/outside noise options are super handy but the sound quality is a bit weak for the price.didn't get them for that though. have my sundaras at home.
>>86948827Probably AKG K371-BT which would be well within budget.They are closed-back (sound does not leak at cost of performance related loses) and can be used via wired or wireless.Good for your intended use but performance won't be special (like the Sennheiser HD 600 or many of the open-back Beyer headphones).
>>86953283those are shit
>>86953462For you and made the point on performance too. Anon wants wireless within £200 budget so there it is.
>>86953497he prefer wireless, he doesnt exclusively wirelessso tell him honestly, all wireless headphones suck
>LocationPoland>Budget50 bucks>in ear>wireAny headphones like pic rel?
>>86953660sony mdr-xb50apb
>>86953673I have those right now but my cat ate my cable and right earphone is fucked up.

>>86953726why delete post
>>86953194Didn't ask for troon opinion
/hpg/Redpill me on the 1000xm5
>>86953993Bad.
>>86953993shit
>>86953737>>86954123doing it again?
give me the rundown on the sony m1stt. cd9000st user
>>86951212because they're not 5% better; they're close to 20% better, and 50% better in the areas that are extremely difficult to get right (treble and bass). There are $500 headphones that match or exceed the Clears in some areas but not all. That's why you pay $1000 for them: no compromises.
>>86951436>>86951555It's the one schizo who is shilling for it and against any other more expensive phone. He is a literally mentally insane person who finds literal insane arguments against any headphone that isn't the 560s or the Ollo S4X. He will post fake charts showing how good they are and ignore any postive remarks for any other headphone.I'm trying my best to combat him because I know how retarded casuals coming into threads take autistic schizos seriously. So I have a couple of handy images that prove him wrong in every conceviable way.No, the 560s does not sound better than the Focal Clears. No, the Ollo S4X/R does not have a better response than the HD600. No, the Clear and the Clear MG are not the same headphone. Yes, you are an autistic cunt who should be lobotomized.
>>86953144Hifi Edition XS is an upgrade from he400se and Sundaras.
>>86954298keep your cd9000st. You are looking at a sidegrade, at best.
lmao
For me? It’s Stax
Is it normal to feel pain/ear-popping when wearing "bright" headphones like the mdr7506s' ?I just put them on after years of not listening on them and I feel like I'm on an airplane
>>86954513whats a japanese upgrade
>>86951586>Returning sub-$100 headphonesJeezus I never returned the HD800s I bought because lazyDo yourself a flavor and save $100 to buyHE400se
Why is there a cult around Chinese IEMs? What can an IEM for 50 bucks do that an average, over the ear headphones cannot?
>>86954924Yes, headphones with bright and harsh treble spikes like the HD560s do cause literal pain.
Queston1:What's the cheapest possible headphones with kz ate/zircon level sound quality? (No need for more) that can be easily drivenTalking how cheap can u go without it being shitQueston2:Dt770pro 16,32 or 80ohm for driving no amp pc?
>>86956018honestly, /iemg/ has devolved more and more as iems is a competitive market relative to headphones. isolation is really the best thing that iems have going for them while having a variety of pricings and tunings to feed the bonefire of /iemg/
>>86956848Moondrop Chu are quite good, and 32 ohm should work just fine.
>>86956848if you're going to stoop that low than any koss headphone works80 depending but 32 to be safe as it doesn't matter when the difference isn't that large
>>86954643A tonality and B techs; CHU killer
Why do people keep saying mdr7506 are indestructible or have good build quality ?Not even mentioning the earpads - the wires gets loose so easily and it creeks so bad after only a couple of years of use
>>86956848>for driving no amplowest ohms possible
kz ate and zircon rocks sound like ass
Has anybody here tried this cable? No reviews but other cables from this company seem ok. https://www.amazon.com/NewFantasia-Balanced-Compatible-Hifiman-Headphone/dp/B09SFSCLQ4/
>>86954924That sucks, dude. I discovered I have a similar problem when I tried some 'bright' headphones. Now I have to go back to my measly M40x for my plebian ears.
is $200 good price for second hand hd600 ?
>>86946537He's right you nigger
>>86957542Depends how "second hand" it is. If it's in great/like-new condition then yes. If they're giving you new replacement earpads then definitely yes.
>>86951518based
>>86957548
>>86957754looks like this, seller said he used it for a month before.I don't even have an amp to go with it but i just heard its a nice set of cans so I think I want to bite
>>86957804forgot pic
>>86957796didn't know there are niggaz that are into headphones. do you just like, listen to yung trappa X on your beats studios, or?
>>86957806yeah I'd honestly go for it. Looks good.
>>86957407
>>86957043sounds and looks some chinky stuff, europe and cant get meme shit anymore>>86957155at that point why not go with the 16's? unless the drivers are different and change profile of the headphone all sold out currently thoughIdeally closed ones but might just buy porta pros or some shit, so tired of IEMs falling out of ear constantly>>86957221I hear people say differnet ohms have differnet profiles in sound though idk>>86957235had some midrange sennheisers before but this sound level is np for me, as long as the iems dont pop out and bass completely dissapears which is the annoying parti dont even think it sounds bad
>>86951964>dunno where you'd even get a replacementhttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003631225375.htmlAnd https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003563260394.htmlTook me quite a while to find those, not 100% sure they're what I need but for 20 bucks it'll be worth giving it a try.Now onto waiting for more dead AD500X/700X/900X to pop up on ebay and friends.
I tried scanning the Sennheiser box to verify code but it just redirects to the page without option to input my product code. Did they get rid of that page ? Do I have to contact support ?
wat do
>>86958681aside from replacing ? try super glue. get velour pads in the future
>>86956018$20 chinese IEM can do this.
>>86954924no, thats not normal and entirely psychogenictry relaxing, you seem stressed
>>86958603neat, ill bookmark these
>>86956848ksc7580 Ω, the tonality of the others are broken250 Ω runs fine from a pc too, just pick whichever you think sounds best (mid bass vs sub bass)
>>86955346cd900st with stock pads are pretty much the best japanese headphones ever madethere gimmick sidegrade stuff like stax and fostex, but nothing objectively better
>>86956018because iems go in a hole, and trannies like to stuff holes
>>86958785Do what
>>86958681needle and thread
What is the goto review website?I'm wondering if the new Sony wh-1000xm5 sound decent or not. >inb4 muh wireless is trash
>>86959691It's snoy so it's a mudcannon but since it's wireless it's ALSO going to have channel imbalance. Don't even have to wait for reviews to know that.
>>86959691>All reviews are worthless, the only opinion that matters is your own.go to a store, try them outthere is no other way to find out if you like them
>>86959595Sound good.
>>86959974>sound good>treble mountain
>>86959974Prove it
Are the Sennheiser HD 450 BT any good?My brother travels a lot for work and he asked for a recommendation for something cheap and noise canceling, and the the aux adapter is a good plus.
>>86960411no
>>86960411It's not good for MSRP but if you can get it for 60 bucks or so it's decent enough for an ANC + BT headphone.
>>86960437Refurbished from Senn is like $80.I think a friend has one or similar, which will help him decide.
>>86958785That's impressive. Too bad standard-style in-ears cause me pain. Unironically, thank God for Apple Airpods.
