>MFW my Monoprice HR-5C finally got shipped!
Yay!

>>103982469
Why did you buy that pos...

>>103982619
Is it really that bad? :c

Please explain!

>>103982635
You tell me. I'm merely asking what made you buy them specifically.

>>103982674
Oh well. The FiiO FT1 is the King Of Budget Headphones anyway. I'm going to get both eventually!

Which headphones are YOU using right now?

i mix and write music on audio technica athm50x's because they sound juicy and musical, but i'm finding after spending a lot of time working on sub freqs, it is my upper mid/top range that sounds inconsistent on other systemsin terms of volume...any one have any experience with senn h650s? i think using these with the technicas in combination with my stereo monitoring could help even out the uppers.

>>103983013
Don't mix treble on headphones. Never going to work. It will change by 10dB on sennheisers just from pad wear and it's already off from online graphs out of the box due to the clamp force, the position on your head and your ear shape.

>>103982901
Nice! You must be really happy! Those ear pads are as thick as Angela White!

Also, I'm so glad that I bought the Beech version of the FiiO FT1 because its headband looks like it's going to last for eternity, whereas the Black Walnut version looks like it's going to last only a few years. Just look at these pictures.

Recently I bought the Audeze Maxwell and I can use them through usb wired or bluetooth, but not with the usb dongle.
When I try to play audio connected with the dongle, the headphones disconnect and reconnect again.
I've tried factory resetting, reinstalling the drivers, using other usb ports, but nothing solves it and they are unusable connected that way.

Has anyone had any problems like that, or is my unit just faulty?

>>103983179
had the same problem with mine, it *kinda* fixed itself when i updated the firmware on both the dongle and headset but it didnt really fix it for long because it would just disconnect again after 30-45 minutes. every usb port on my pc, laptop, tried on a usb 2.0 hub, nothing, all had the same issue. it was the playstation version.
i just ended up selling mine, couldnt be fucked dealing with that shit.

>>103983952
Mine are also the playstation version, but I have the latest firmware on both the headset and dongle according to audeze hq, so I see no hope for me.
Damn, this is gay as shit.

>>103984084
yeah, it was disappointing. it was great when it worked, but meh. it's most probably the dongle itself that was the issue, not getting enough power or something because reseating would make it connect again then die, which i think they know because they're selling it separately now.

>>103984152
>they're selling it separately now
Are they? I took a quick look in their website and amazon, but couldn't find it.

>>103983179

I know it was shilled here but you should know better than buying gamer slop.

the sundara is better than the ft1 in every category and is like 50 dollars more, both chinkshit so dont talk to me about qa

I'm aware that the Stax's headphones are objectively really amazing, but does anyone in /g/ actually own any of the Stax's headphones? The only person that I know who truly does own one of them is Ambien and he left the 4chan permanently. If you don't know who Ambien, he's just an ugly kangaroo jackass who fucks his ugly sister!

>>103983179
I would love to get my hands on a "for parts" one and see if I can wrangle it into being regular wired stuff instead of that retarded wireless bullshit
I hope it's at least it's not like Steelseries where you can literally lock yourself out of your headphone because the dongles are locked to the pair they come with.

Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro + Fiio K7. Is my setup cool?

>>103985123
>Beyerdynamic
Shit

i've had the NoireX for almost 2 weeks now. Great headphones if you have a decent amp/DAC and don't need SUPER wide soundstage.

>>103985123
very kewl

>>103985261
>and don't need SUPER wide soundstage
to clarify, they do have a wide soundstage for closed back headphones, they just aren't going to compare to the better open back headphones in the same price range.

>>103985123
The DT1990 was underwhelming to me for the price, it's not bad per say but the DT900 PRO X exist, the TYGR 300R exists as well, modding a 770/880/990 is also an option

>>103985123
>DT 1990
bright mess

i got it october 2023 because cheap, wireless planar that supposedly wasnt complete shit like the penrose. im actually one of the first people here who bitched and moaned about how it was shit and buggy lol.

you can run it wired oob, both through usb and 3.5mm. but if im gonna use it wired anyway, i'll just use my lcd-2c closed, ya know?

Anyone running the Nitsch Piety? It sounds pretty good, although it distorts at super high volumes

>>103991117
$500 price increase hurts. $300 to $800 is a big leap.

>>103992430
It's actually a $600 price increase, at $900, 3x over the maxwell $300 price.

looking to get new headphones ($70-90) and was told to come here because the cloud 2 is apparently bad. which headphone would you recommend in this price range?

>>103991651
I have a Magni 3. Do you believe that the Piety sounds tangibly different?

>>103994781
Absolutely. I own the Magni+ and it sounds grating compared to the Piety. It's a mix of dark/warm/wet, it takes the sibilance out of my neutral-bright Dita Project M's and I can listen to it for hours. Obviously not a well-measuring amp but that isn't the reason why I bought it.

>>103994684
Increase your budget so that you can buy a FiiO FT1 and attach a microphone to it.

https://www.amazon.com/FiiO-FT1-Closed-Back-Headphones-Detachable/dp/B0DK3G2NCQ

>>103994986
I can't bro. but if I have to double my budget to get something better then does that mean the cloud 2 is the best option

>>103995007
Then you're screwed!

Just get the HyperX Cloud 2 and call it a day! Make sure that it's WIRED!

>>103995067
why does it need to be wired daddy. also, you can buy it for me if you like :)

Thoughts on my diy HD6xx bluetooth retrofit?
the little box ruins the look of them on my head but the functionality is amazing.
Battery life lasts days and sound quality is good enough for me.

>>103995145
Wireless is inherently shit

>>103995318
alright bro imma get the cloud 2 wired for $42 at walmart ty

>>103982285
no

What are some good planar magnetic headphones in the $300-$500 range?
Currently daily using my Emu Teaks

Anyone have any experience with the Mackie MC-350? I like the feature set, price and as a brand Mackie has always been good to me with their mixers.

>>103995553
Comes in both open or closed.

>>103995694
kinda bad without eq desu, I'd just get an FT1 Pro

>>103995640
>MFW the logo of those headphones is just a stick figure
Tsk tsk!

>>103996742
They're much more technically capable than FT1 Pro, and they supposedly have a bit better tuning from the factory in 2024+ compared to back in 2019/20 when they came out.

>>103995640
I did like the MC-450 because studio headphones with open backs that are actually open and don't sound like ass is rare
Can't imagine the 350 being bad, though maybe a bit overpriced for the sound quality.

>>103982285
I've got a schiit modi multibit DAC that's been causing trouble lately.

I've got it connected via USB and any time it's plugged in it'll prevent my PC from booting or even posting properly. It'll just hang at the BIOS splash screen forever until I unplug it. Once I plug it back in it won't be recognized by windows at all for around 20-30 minutes until it gets picked up and starts working normally. Sometimes it'll pop up exactly as expected if I power it off and back on again. Then once it's recognized I can reboot the computer and it'll behave completely normally again until it's been powered off for some indeterminate amount of time.

Any ideas? It still works perfectly once it's picked up so I'm pretty sure it's a USB controller issue. I'm close to buying an S/PDIF adapter at this point because fiddling with it is just annoying.

I'm looking for some wireless headphones to use with my Android phone and tablet, and SteamDeck, hoping somebody could point me in the right direction.

I'm not really sure which would best suit me. My main music genres are punk and metal, but I dabble in a bit of everything.
>previous equipment
I use DT880s daily when I'm at my PC, I like them a lot.
Had some Sony WH-1000XM2s in the past, ANC was nice to have for the train, and I liked how I could use an audio cable as well as wireless.

Cheers lads

>>103998431
All of the "wireless" "headphones" are objectively shitty, therefore it doesn't matter which ones that you buy!

If I was you, I would just buy the legendary prestigious FiiO FT1.

>>103997884
>Any ideas? It still works perfectly once it's picked up so I'm pretty sure it's a USB controller issue
Change USB mode in BIOS, try other ports, make sure your DAC isn't in a sort of FW update mode where it appears as a USB drive (not sure it can but I've had gamepads doing that).

>>103998431
Just get a portable bluetooth DAC and use that with your favorite headphones.

>>103997736
They're $110 on Amazon, down from the $200 MSRP. From what I've heard of and about other headphones in the $200ish range I'd be more skeptical for good cost performance but this seems pretty good

>>103996940
Don't hate

>>103982821
why would you buy two budget headphones instead of one good headphone?

>>103998897
I like to collect things, sweetie!

>>103998897
Because there are no good headphones.

Rookie mistake!

henlo friendos,

Looking for new closed-back headphones specifically for EDM (so need plenty of bass) primarily to consume, not for neutral sound. Any recommendations? My budget is $150-$500

>>103996742
>kinda bad without eq desu
That's all planars, that's why you EQ them.

>>104001576
Get your ass in here and buy these headphones!

>>104001937
>>104001958
thank you, how about the ATH-M50x? I know it's a studio headphone but apparently it's good for listening too?

>>104001989
>good for listening
fuck me, yeah obviously "for listening" but I mean primarily as "consumption", rather than needing pure accurate audio.

>>104001958
Those headphones have incredibly powerful bass, but it's too bad that the JVC discontinued them. The eBay is filled with nothing but fakes!

>>104001989
That one is viable too!

>>104002007
>JVC discontinued them. The eBay is filled with nothing but fakes!
You mean the factory JVC used to use is now continuing to produce them under the table to sell on ebay.

Anyone have experience painting headphones? I asked someone for their criteria and their answer was just color preference.

hp-a4bl + ether c flow 1.1 is a pretty good pairing in my opinion. both are pretty transparent and neutral, at least to my millenial ears.
the ef499 was like the fun dac/amp and this is the super serious one.
