Really like my Phillips X2s tho.

>>9877785
what brand are these
also
>>9877803
go back to /g/

>>9877785
I have the same ones, b-a-s-e-d. Need to get replacement pads soon, though.

audio technica is garbage. sound is slightly better than average, but they're so uncomfortable.

considering getting v moda m100, is that effay

>>9877811
Sorry /fa/ is my home board.

If you buy headphones for aesthetic you are a tool.

>>9877825
i meant to quote you as in OP should go back to /g/

Need some good iems don't really care about cost or what they look like as long as they sound good.

>>9877866
check out skullcandy or dre beats

>>9877811
They're just Audio Technica ATH-M50

>>9877942

Also I own these Stax, very effay

I'M GOING TO CUT THIS SNAKE OFF AT THE HEAD, MOTHER FUCKER. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME LISTENING TO THE SHIT SIBLINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE CROWDING THIS THREAD WITH THEIR BULLSHIT HEADPHONES

LISTEN HERE SON

YOU WANT HEADPHONES?

ASTOUNDING HEADPHONES?

COMFORTABLE HEADPHONES?

YOU WANT THE GOD DAMN SONY MDR-7506

I WORK IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. I MAKE AND MASTER MUSIC. THESE FUCKERS, ALTHOUGH CRIMINALLY UNDERPRICED, ARE THE BEST DEAL YOU ARE EVER GOING TO GET, EVERYONE WHO KNOWS ANYTHING AGREES

THEY HAVE A PERFECT, FLAT SOUND AND THEY FEEL LIKE CLOUDS ON YOUR EARS

BUY THEM YOU PUSSY

>>9877942
>>9878010
Not effay at all, but you wouldnt wear those around anyway(they need a dedicated amp)... Plus they sound *FUCKING AMAZING*(Literally the best sounding headphones out there.) so who cares about /fa/ when you're in the dark, relaxing to some tunes?

I think the best looking ones are the urbanears zinken. Totally bland, unbranded, generic look so it'll just blend into what you wear. Pretty good sound quality too(Not as good as the main competitors in the same price[ath-m50, or even the hd280 which are about $50 less] but still very good)

>>9878775
>I WORK IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

in other words, "I downloaded Garageband and signed up for Soundcloud last week"

>>9877820
I have the vmodas, they are pretty nice.

Sennheiser HD598 are a good balance of style and sound quality for their price.

>>9878832
Are you a 15 year old girl?

>>9878975
No... Get the 558's. Sound 99.5% as good, costs $50 less, looks better(silver and black instead of cream and bakelite)

>>9877785
because fantangle told me to.

>tfw no regrets, comfy as fuck+alll this nuance I've been missing

>>9879030
I that $50 less when buying off of amazon or$50 less when buying from Sennheiser directly?

I just buy 5 of these at a time on ebay for like 99 cents each. They also have a inline mic.

What sucks is that i'm autistic about mixing blacks with browns and so i have hard time wearing them when i'm in brown tones.

>buying headphones for fashion

>>9877820
they are comfortable though

>wearing open headphones outside

>>9877866
I dig my Senheiser 280s but they look so shitty and not effay

>>9879030
In MSRP... So its kinda hard to compare it, since sometimes theres a crazy amazon deal(The 598's once went on sale for $95) when the other is still at retail pricing.
The only difference is the 598's sound slightly more base heavy(Not ness. better, and indistinguishable unless you A-B them), have a more comfortable head band, and a different color scheme that looks ugly to me.

>>9879319
Yeah, i love my hd280's, but they are too wide at the headband area(just above your temples) so it looks pretty silly. As far as closed headphones go, they're the best imo(Followed by the V6/V7506 which look better and have better constriction.)

>not getting over the ear iems
Why would you willing go outside with fucking on ears? Keep those expensive high quality cans at home for maximum comfyness and pleasure. Unless you're a beats-tier cunt of course

Xiaomi Piston 2s and Piston 3s

Cheap, good looking, and decent audio quality.

>>9879392
Id say even better than 'decent audio'. The piston 2's are fugly though. 3's, and even the youth version(modeled after the 3's except cheaper, ribbon cable, not as good audio) look great. The Soundmagic brand also makes a lot of great value IEM's like the ones in >>9879370 (PL50's) or the MP-21's which would be the direct competition to Piston 3's.

>>9879407
Yeah.

OnePlus's headphones aren't bad either TBH.

>>9879380
>over the ear in ear monitors

>>9879430
Yes, that's what they are called. Ignore the brand

>>9878832

Oh yeah, I know Lambdas aren't very /fa/, but they sound like sex, and once you own a pair the look grows on you a bit. The SR-009s however are absolutely /fa/ as fuck, not that anyone would wear them around regardless of needing an amp because they're super open and cost a small fortune. I've been tempted to get an SRS-002 setup though so I can have the Stax sound portably.

Slightly tempted to get the series 2 for the audio upgrade, but I'm not sure it would be worth the difference in cost at MSRP. I'd probably rather get some headphones for dedicated in-home listening. Recommendations?

>>9878775

>perfect
>flat

But no, they're bright as fuck.

>>9878975
>>9879030
>>9879152
>>9879370

I actually like the 558's sound better, plus they're actually literally the exact same driver and construction, the only difference is that the HD558 have a piece of foam stuck to the grill which you can open up and remove, then you'll have the HD598. You can stick the foam right back on too if you want.

They're the MFA of headphones though, although M50s fit that too.

>>9879524

What's your price range?

>>9879543
Right, forgot about that. I think $100 to $250 might be reasonable. I'm not sure at what price open-backed (assuming that's the usual type for in-home listening) headphones start experiencing diminishing returns.

>>9879538
No... The foam mod does not upgrade your headphones. The 598(and 595) have different drivers and ALSO have the foam inserts.
Taking them out might make them sound better to you(imo it isnt any better) but it isnt the difference between the mid and high end models.

That said, i also prefer the 558 to the 598 in audio quality. Only thing i prefer the 598s for is the head band, and that isnt worth the sound, ugly color, and extra $$$.

>>9879524

I can get the B&W P5s and P7 at discounted prices.....like 35% off.....if you want

plus anything else at the Apple Store.

Copped these a few days ago, they're beautiful

>>9879559

Oops, I forgot about this, but anyways, around $200 is when diminishing returns kick in.

Anyways l'd check out the Fidelio X1, looks to have a bit of a similar sound signature to the P5's.

>>9879853
Shieeeeet, I was thinking about getting a job there, but then I moved too far away from my local Apple Store when I started university. That's a seriously decent discount though for non-Apple stuff. You're tempting me hard here.

>>9879887
>Fidelio X1
Don't sweat it. I've heard good things about those. I'm kind of iffy on Philips, but maybe they really are worth taking into consideration.

>>9879838

But that's wrong, they have literally the exact same driver, look at the part number, you can also see that the 598 lack the foam: http://imgur.com/a/e5y1z
and http://www.headfonia.com/sennheisers-new-hd558-and-hd598/3/

Like the only difference to the sound would be the grill which should make very little difference.

>>9879896

Oh yeah, they're a really nice offering. Also if you buy them off Amazon you don't have to sweat too much if you don't like them as you can just return them. Of course if you can, your best option would be to go to somewhere and try them out.

>>9879937
Think Amazon Warehouse is a safe bet for headphones? I imagine it may be fairly uncertain on the manufacturer warranty still being in effect.

>>9879937
>>9879954
Buy them off Amazon and then when you get them say they never came and then you get free headphones.

>>9879955
But m8, I'm not like that. I don't want to abuse a company's generosity. That's just being a shitty person for no good reason.

AKG K271
They're super-comfortable (like all AKGs) and sound pretty damn good once I got an outboard DAC/amp.

why do people pretend they care about headphones?

>>9877785

I like these and they sound great and everything

but does it hurts my ears if I wear them for awhile

>>9879955

Nah they check weights and shit for that.

>>9879954

Also Amazon Warehouse has same warranty as regular Amazon shit so yeah it's a good bet, it's usually just open box stuff.

>>9879853
Yo, hit me up with a deal on a macbook? I'm in Canada but I'll pay for shipping (and love you forever)

What's your email mate?

I think the most /fa/ choice is just to get good quality headphones and disregard how they look for the most part.

Beats or similar "fashion headphones" are a huuuuuge turn off, because it tells me that the person is likely too stupid to do even basic research on stuff they use every day. I really dig it when people walk around with AKGs and don't give a fuck

>>9879888
>>9880093

yeah I just made an email for you guys:

chloe.fiend @ gmail

That goes for anyone else that wants stuff that is discounted from the apple store.

should i?

>>9880122
I think I'm gonna have to pass on the P5's and just wait it out until I can get them for $150 or less. I'm trying to be something vaguely related to frugal, not that I've been all that successful. But definitely thanks for the offer.

>>9877820
wow i'm agreeing with ree on something.

vmodas are played out, go for beyer dt770's. the look is pretty universal and they're about as good as it gets for mid-tier. there's a reason they're probably the most popular studio headphone for mixing/mastering/etc.

>>9880162
Get the Alessandro MS1's instead.

>>9879370
shit taste in music

>>9880177

I can get you the P5s for $180, but word hit me up if you want anything else from the apple store

>>9880162
I have them and they are pretty good but not very comfortable. I think there are some good Open AudioTechnica's at a similar price point that are probably way comfier.

>>9879524
I did some listening in a store and i don't think the p7's are worth the money they're chargin' for 'em. The p5's are definitely at a nice pricepoint for the sound, tho. I was very impressed.

my 2c

anybody got a headphones inspo?

>>9878010
STAX ON STAX ON STAX

>>9878775
This guy has good advice. Also check out the old 7509 (not the 7509HD) if you can find one in good condition and the new 7510.

What you really want, if you're into super accurate sound (which you should be) is Etymotic ER-4 IEMs, either the S or the P with the S adaptor cable. The S is slightly more accurate with higher impedance, the P has lower impedance and slightly boosted bass, and the adaptor cable adds impedance and matches them up. They're eminently practical and more accurate and detailed than any other conventional driver headphones you can get until you get near the $1,000 mark.

Try them with the foam tips instead of the silicone ones first.

>>9879380
What's wrong with wearing them around? I mostly use the Etys, but I've got a few mid range cans I keep at home, and I've worn all of them around at various points.

>>9880501
>(which you should be)
thats not true
lets say you listen to mainly hiphop, or any other bass heavy music genre, then your music is going to sound bad

>>9879879
how are they? considering getting some

Any good in-ears which aren't designed to break after half a year?

>>9880536
i have grado 225i, westone 3 and UE triple fi yet these earphones sound the best on my mac. i even tried listening through a DAC and still these sound better than everything else i own. sigh

>>9880549
get real musician's iems, not earbuds

>>9877942
Sexy as fuck.

Pic related is mine.

>>9880471
bravo anon, this has got to be the most autstic post i've seen this year thus far

>>9880520
It amazes me that people are so scared of a bit of EQ that they'll buy specific headphones just for an extra ~5db where they want it.

>>9880886
This. Whatever sound you want you can get with a little EQ off neutral much easier.

Also, like, no. You can be super into hip-hop, D&B, etc. (I am) and not need the bass jacked up to 11 to enjoy it. You just need to actually listen.

>>9877785
>>9877803
preddy gud, isnt the m50 only good for electronic though? Also how is the X2's treble?

>>9877942
>>9878010

chill tf out, 7506's are great for monitoring though no lie

>>9878975
>>9879030
b8, HD600 > 558 > 598

598's are turd brown and veiled
558's are veiled too, but at least cheaper and you can perform a foam mod trick on them to sound better
600's are not as veiled and sound fantastic and natural.

>>9879043
fantangle doesnt know much but apparently these are decent

>>9879524
literally every single commuting londoner has these, fuck my life

>>9879879
How are they?

>>9880162
No. Poor build quality that will have rattling drivers after a while. They sound coloured and bright too.

>>9880549
SE215's are bassy and warm as fuck but are quite durable.

>>9880847
My only experience with Beyerdynamic are the DT880's, which I hated the mids of. Fuck Beyer. T1's are supposedly top though

there is no /fa/ headphones

they are headphones

my ex-gf cared more about the appearance of headphones rather than the sound quality

she used her cheap 10$ futureshop headphones over my m50s AT HOME (with no one around) because she thought they looked better and couldn't tell the difference

absolutely pathetic

>>9878840

You should put some cotton under the pads to give them some buff. Helps a shitload, I can go several hours now without any pain.

>>9883013
bass is suuuuuper true but if your source is good it can be really deep. as far as bass goes, mr balloon hands by ott or coast is clear by skrillex really come to mind as sounding fucking incredible in these. they won't rumble though, and cranking the bass eq on my fiio e17 just distorts it, so bassnectar and friends can come out a little weak. i already had sennheiser hd598's, which are pretty good for acoustic or classical and other mellow stuff, and the xb500, which are literally the most rumbly headphones ever produced, but they're not very clean sounding at all. i bought the beyer's so i could relive my angsty teenager days and blast mcr without it sounding like shit (hd598 doesn't do too well at higher volumes). the only real downside to me with the beyers is that they're a little uncomfortable until you get used to them (the clamp is like way tighter than most headphones i've used, turns out it's a good thing), and they can get a tad sibilant when loud, but that doesn't really bother me.

if you want insane bass rumble but don't care too much about sound quality go for the sony xb500. the low range goes down to something stupid, like 2hz, and the bass eq on my amp/dac just makes them more rumbly. pretty sure i couldn't blow them out with the fiio if i tried. they're also definitely the most comfortable of the three, so that's a bonus.

>>9878832
Had my Zinkens for 2-ish years now, got them in army green and love them.

not the most aesthetically pleasing, the best quality for the price if you own an amplifier.

>>9877820

V-Moda is edgy teen fedoracore.

>>9881442
Get a load of this pleb, thinking that there can't be sand quality and quality aesthetics.

>>9883239
Why do they have so many versions of the same headphone?

>>9883206
Oh yeah I wanted to ask,
>but if your source is good

does this refer to the sound files/music quality, or like the actual thing you're using to play the music?

and
>the only real downside to me with the beyers is that they're a little uncomfortable until you get used to them

Can you recommend any that are really comfy? I've tried Sennheiser Momentums and they are comfy/10, wondering if you know any others.

and thanks a lot man, the beyerdynamic one seems like what i'm looking for soundwise actually

>>9883512
both, really. the difference between flac and 320 mp3's is pretty close to negligible without a nice dac/amp and trained ears, but after a while you might be able to pick up on some compression. anything below 320 is a lot easier to notice though. getting a dac/amp is definitely recommended, especially if you'll be getting the 250ohm model (which is the cheapest iirc), because your device might not be able ot power it properly, and also because most laptop headphone jacks are shitty. i've been using a fiio e17, and the usb cable i used died a few weeks ago so i tried the onboard jack and it's real bad. that said, if you're just playing it out of an ipod or phone or whatever, the difference between running them through the fiio or not is a lot less noticeable. i'd say file quality is more important, but most laptops have shit sound cards, so a usb dac will really help the quality but is by no means necessary (at first anyway).

apparently the hd598's and xb500's are some of the most comfortable headphones around, so i guess i was kind of spoiled there, ahahah. akg stuff is really comfy in my experience (a friend had pic related), but pretty much the opposite of what you're looking for sonically, and pretty much everything sennheiser makes is pretty comfy too. a friend of mine's got he-500's (and he just bought lcd-2's), and they're pretty comfortable, especially the ear space, but most planar-magnetics run a little heavy for me.

>>9883572
>nice dac/amp

is this actually necessary / does it actually produce a noticeable improvement? just curious because i've never actually seen one IRL

and out of those headphones you listed, which would you recommend most for comfiness/bassiness? the reviews all seem good and idk which to pick haha

thank you anon :*

>>9883572
To people still use constant bitrate? It's a terribly wasteful compression encoding. I figured everyone would have moved on to variable bitrate by now.

>>9883512
>Oh yeah I wanted to ask,
>>but if your source is good
First it depends on how it's recorded and tuned/remastered. A bad record will always sound bad no matter what kind of compression or audio setup you have.

Then we have mp3 vs flac which >>9883572
has explained.

After that it depends on your DAC, which will determines how the source will be translated/delivered through the connected amp and headphones.

>>9883607

spotify on max quality should be good, yeah?

>>9883587
the improvement won't be too noticeable at first, but it's huge once you get used to it and look back at how it used to be (at least with my laptop). you don't have to go all out though, just something cheap and portable will do wonders. i got mine for ~$100 USD, and i've had it for nearly two years with no issues (looking to upgrade though, probably gonna go for the schiit stack, any wise anons have advice?). amps are less important, and do more to provide sound signatures through different tubes and shit (words that sound like they shouldn't describe noise, like warm, are created by this). i don't really care too much for tubes though, solid state all the way. but you really don't need to worry about that rn.

>>9883599
9/10 people don't even know what bitrate means. pretty sure itunes still sells 280 or some shit. i cry evertim :^(

>>9883610
spotify's high quality stream is 320, so yeah, it's a great start. if you really get into shit you could download stuff (my collection is pushing 300gb, flac has ruined me), buy vinyl if you're into analog, or jump for tidal once/if it starts gathering steam

>>9883610
It should. Tbh don't worry too much about it, newer music are usually decently recorded and remastered songs are _sometimes_ good. Digitally streamed stuff are also getting on the higher quality nowadays.

The most game changing would be your headphones first. You can do without an amp (providing the headphones don't need amping) and without a DAC too.

>>9883639
I think iTunes does ~256kbps constrained VBR.

>>9883607
>>9883642
this is really important too. good mastering is definitely more important than your file type or your setup. that said, bad mastering /could/ be considered a creative decision, like the whole lo-fi folk or punk thing. either way, good gear won't make bad music sound any better.

>>9883639
thanks, what do you think about this amplifier JDS Labs - C5 Headphone Amplifier

>>9883723
no clue lol. it looks like the volume is a slider with no lock though, which could be sketchy if you keep it in a pocket. if this is your first thing i'd go for a dac/amp combo probably, but eyy, you do you. go lurk head-fi, check out the highest rated products and whatnot. i've only ever used the fiio e17 (and a bellari vp130 though i hardly ever use it with headphones) personally (and a schiit modi/magni stack very briefly at a friend's place), so i can recommend the fuck out of that because it's awesome, especially for beginners, but i've got much more experience with headphones themselves than headphone accessories.

>>9883799

idk i just found a good good price on that thing

but yeah, i might just go with whatever the meme

>>9883826

ok i just reread my post and it makes no sense, sorry

>>9879312
how come nobody else has said this. you retards dont seem to understand that if you can see the mesh and mechanics of the cans that they'll basically be speakers to everyone else around you and will offer virtually no sound isolation.

>>9883842

it's called open-back as opposed to closed.

open replicates real sound, because in a real concert/performance, the sound is coming from a big open room

the downside like you said is you cant use it in public

>>9883723
get a mont blanc e12

>>9884277
They really are great headphones. The issue is they are a little TOO open in most peoples opinion, and the classic style makes them pretty uncomfortable.

That said, they have amazing sound quality, are hand made(in america too) and really good resale value, if you decide to trade up later on.

>>9883723
>>9884302
e17 is cheaper, is also a dac, and has a display and eq settings. sure the montblanc is a better standalone amp, but it's not as good for someone just starting out imo.

You may have misunderstood me. I'd actually pick up a pair of the gunmetal M-100s for my next pair. The reviews are noice, and I like the look and build quality. I will forever defend V-moda because the one aux cable I bought there is the best cable anyone I know owns.

Current pair of outdoor headphones are Harman/kardon CL. Would rec if they didn't sound so closed.

Best under $50 somewhat durable bassy headphones? Has to be pretty comfortable.

List of priorities: Bassy>Comfort>Durability

Sennheiser HD598

>>9886070
anything under 50 is going to start to break in three months, why would you do that to yourself when you could drop ~200 on something exponentially better and have it for years?

i got my xb500's for 200 almost three years ago and they still look and operate like they're brand new. granted, they stopped making them, so i haven't seen them dip below 300 in a while, but they are in my opinion the most comfortable, and undeniably the bassiest (in rumble strength anyway) headphones ever made.

I have sr80i's and I love 'em. I had sr60i's before that. They are comfortable and sound fantastic, although I understand why some people would complain that they're too bright. The soundstage is the best I've seen for the price. They aren't tanks though, so if you're rough with your electronics get something beefier.

If you want honky brash sound m8. Maybe it's not too late to return them ;>

Dude Shure SRH840 are crazy detailed phones for about $200. They're also available everywhere so you can try them out in like any Guitar Center if you want.

If you mean to go outside tho, always go IEMS. people walking around with headphones on look like idiots. And if you get IEMs, go balanced armature. Meelec makes a great pair for something like $40 which is a crazy good price for BAs

I've had Yamaha NS10s, Genelecs 8030As (too big for my room, sold em) and a pair of shit Tannoys. I've been using these for 4 years and they're definitely the best monitors mixed with.

A friend has rokits and they're pretty honky but the VXTs are the best nearfield monitors at that price point out of the 10 or so I've heard.

did I just enter /hpg/ by mistake?

anyway im either going to get the T1, HD800, or HE-560 soon. not decided yet

The soundstage is really awesome because of the open back, but they leak too much sound and my coworkers and roommates would complain. they're also pretty uncomfortable, i couldn't wear my sr80's for more than a hour and a half without taking breaks inbetween.

Any thoughts on Audio Technica im02? They look pretty /fa/, but how do they compare to other iems in the ~$100 range?

bump

These xiaomi pistons are effay and sound great to boot.

The 3's are better IMO

literally bought these for 60$. I ended up selling it to my friend after buying my ath-m50s.

no fucking way those were xb500's, especially if this happened in the last two years or so, because they stopped making them. you probably got the new model (which is shit) or maaaaaayyyyybe the xb300. these are so much more comfortable than m50's, and the sound is comparable, albeit way bassier and a little less clean.

>>9898424
Agreed x 100

>>9877811
>what brand are these

>what brand

what the fuck how do you not recognize ATH-M50's they're like the most entry level un-shit tier headphones.

Yooo.. portable planars..

I just might cop.

>>9883239
I don't even use an amp on those and they sound fine.

>>9900901
Is planar magnetic really as great as it seems? It's such a sweet sounding name.

I don't care what you say, I think these are nice.
Totally outrageous and loud design, I like it as a contrast to all the minimal and relaxed stuff.

Koss PortaPros

A classic.

is the dark green colorway /fa/?

or should I just go with black?
