I know that feel. Have you ever tuned out to the sounds of nature, or of the city? I once tuned out to the screeching of a subway train. The screeching "played" at various tones and octaves and formed a certain melody. There's music everywhere.

headphones outside is almost never viable ever unless you're using iems, and they isolate v v well and don't stick out. pic related is gr07s, minimal enough to wear out.

at home though, honestly you should have a proper setup with a dac/amp/decent cans.

They're pretty neutral so they have awesome sound reproduction but as far as bass goes they're lacking (unless you run them through an amp).

If you're looking to listen to something bass orientated (2step, dubstep/new dubstep brostep etc) then get something else.

They're superb for jazz.

The 7506 folds, and has a reputation for being the "industry standard," in-every-studio, most popular studio headphone. It's just in the past few years the M50s have gotten so popular.

I'm sure there's more 7506s out there, sitting around or in smaller studios. But there's some kind if fad around the M50s for some reason and I don't get it.

[strawtengu !oxQHe5qDU2 No.6373465]

>>6373451
coiled cable and not as "hip" looking though
the m50s are far more popular overall because of the reccomendation circlejerk among entry-level audophilia. that's the only plausible explanation. there's just a constant feedback loop of "yeah, i got the m50 the other day, really great, you should too" that really never stops because going up another rung would mean getting dacs/amps/more expensive equipment and 90% of people don't want to do that

[Anonymous No.6375826]

Some of ya'll seem to know what you're talking about. I'm no audiophile but I can appreciate decent headphones and want to know what I should get next.

I used to use Grado sr60s and then sr80s (I think) and absolutely loved them. But they broke because they're flimsy pieces of shit and I used them all the time.

Anyway, I was wondering is someone could recommend me headphones of similar caliber and price but superior durability? What I loved about the grados was there appropriateness for a range of genres, and this + duability is really what i'm after as I use headphones constantly if I have them.

Incidentally, are there any in-ear headphones which can compare with out-ear headphones? Since using shitty ipod ones for so long in-ear have grown in me loads for convenience's sake, but quality of sound is still my priority.

Am willing to extend the budget in the case of stand-out example of recommendation.

[Anonymous No.6375849]

>>6375826
are you seriously asking if there are canalphones with superior quality to headphones? it's like asking if they make motorcycles that go faster than cars. Check out Shure headphones. se215 are good for about 100$. if that's too much you could check out senheiser cx-300, also very recommended and pretty cheap for the sound quality. Sony makes very decent earbuds too from very cheap to expensive, but if you want to get expensive you're better off looking elsewere (akg, sennheiser, audiotechnica)
Here's a nice website http://www.audiocubes.com/

[Anonymous No.6375850]

Shure SRH-840's and Superlux HD-668B. For portable i have the SE215 and some cheap Hippo shroom.

I kinda dont get the hype over M50's, had my friend lent it for me for a few weeks and decided that it have borderline bad vocals and doesnt really have that much separation to me... And quite a small soundstage too.

Kinda funny how people i know that have em said that they're "neutral" , since they have quite good amount of bass and kinda recessed mids.... (maybe im biased here, 840s have really good vocals and mids are perfect there, though it can be preeeeetty thick in some songs)

I sorta wish closed headphones like 840s and M50s can be a lil bit "airy" and have huge soundstage like open back stuff since its sounds really different (feels real to me)

All of this are subjective tho, since i listen to quite alot of post-rock & a LOT of japanese stuff, my assesment might be different to a guy who have different taste in music like Rap/Hip-hop or Proggresive House or Metal etc.

[Anonymous No.6375904]
