>They both sound exactly alike
no way

same brand?

Welcome to the world of headphones and high-end audio.

>hyping things up that aren't that great
>/mu/

how long have you been here?

>>27628234
you must have some pretty insanely dull ears

no two pairs really sound the same, esp in that difference of pricerange

>>27628248
The cheap pair is a 'Razor' headset, the other are AKG248.

>>27628234
Don't use AnCo songs to compare them.

>>27628320
I mean K240

should've got some grados sr60i

>>27628380
>getting the sr60i when the 80i is only marginally more expensive
>recommending grados to someone when you don't even know what kind of music they like

Maybe your ears will develop and become more sensitive quality if you've never had decent audio equipment but I would say those should sound radically different. Most headphones even of a comparable price range are unique and distinguishable sonically.

What were you listening to?

this and

>>27628320
how common are they? closed or open? maybe coincidentally the bass and treble have similar settings, use an amp and I'm sure you will notice differences when dickin around

also, never buy headphones solely by recommendation, just walk straight into an audio shop and try as many headphones as possible, because it's highly subjective

>>27628482
how about 99% of bass driven electronic music

>>27628412
There is a small difference. I hear more midrange. Maybe a little too much.

>>27628483
I don't know. Closed, I guess.

>just walk straight into an audio shop
I don't go outside. What's an audio shop? I've never seen one of those in my life.

>>27628502
specific example?
I've got a pair right here and a little time before class. I'll be honest if it sounds bad.

>>27628529
it's easy to differ, closed headphones are surrounded by a solid shell (-> big bass, problem: sweaty), while open headphones have a few holes for sound pressure to get out of the shell (-> "lighter" sound, but unsuitable for outside since you hear every sound your environment produced, and everyone listenes to your music as well lel)

>I don't go outside. What's an audio shop? I've never seen one of those in my life.
I just used audio shop as a bad substitute for a word I don't know in english

I thnk hi-fi store is the accurate term, or even an electronics market can have a good compilation of headphones

>>27628537
It won't sound bad but there's no way you'll get the deep sub bass you need to appreciate recordings like the TNGHT EP, Andy Stott, etc

>>27628634
What you recommend in those cases?

>>27628672
would*

>>27628672
personally I'm a speakers man, but Audio Technica ATH-M50's seem pretty popular on /mu/ when it comes to closed models.

>>27628729
I'll check them out. Thanks.

What device are you using them on? You usually need a soundcard to really notice differences (especially with laptops). Could be bad rips or the stuff you're listening to was not well produced.

>>27628729
I bought a pair of ATH-M50s about 2 months ago and I highly recommend them. Amazon is selling them for pretty cheap also.

>>27628529
What the fuck happened to panda bear

>>27628778
he got a bloody nose during a show

>>27628529
pretty sure that's Patrick Fugit

>>27628234
>just bought
that's a key point. let them burn in. many headphones keep improving for weeks and months until they reach their real sound

>>27628767

I concur. I've had a pair for about a year now and they just sound better and better, heavy on bass but just fine all round too. Likely the best headphones in their price range.

Solid build as well, the only problem I'm just starting to encounter now is that the pleather ear pads are starting to deteriorate, but I'm gonna get some nice velour on these puppies.

Apparently they can be modded quite easily to improve the sound too :)

I specially want to know the name of an album that has a black woman with some kind of gold castle on her head
