/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

>>51894486
Why don't you go to /g/? Is the shitposting too intimidating?

I'm using the HD 598 I just received from the black friday sale.

>>51894486

i have those too, OP, and from what i've read they don't really need an amp? not quite positive, though

>>51894727
Ha, never been. Would they be able to help?

>>51894833
Yeah, they have daily headphone threads and they generally know more than /mu/ does when it comes to headphones, stereos, amps, dacs, etc.

I have the best meme-phones on the market. Audio Technica ATH M50s.

>>51894833
Be warned, there is _a lot_ of shitposting in that thread (and on the entirety of /g/). You need to lurk for at least like a week to know what to ignore.

That said, I'm looking at upgrading my SRH440s to Momentums, you like them?

>>51895157
Love them, had them a couple years now, and I don't have any complaints; maybe a LITTLE weak in the bass.
Also, the chords seem to break easily. Other than that, great cans

>>51895209
Cool, thanks for the input. And good luck over there >>45476112

>Ordered mine on Black Friday
>Receiving them tomorrow, on friday

Had to wait an entire week for these shits, they BETTER FUCKING BE GOOD.

Oh shit I'm wearing those exact headphones right now

Sony MDR-V6 Masterrace

>>51894486
I had those and they were nice.
Not an audiophile or anything.
Though I fucked up my cord and I'm going to get a new one online.
Currently using HD 407 which are good too.

Rockin the PortaPros atm

>>51898730
Same here.

>>51894486
I have some HD 380's waiting for me at the PO Box right now. Roommate had a pair of HD 280's and they sounded incredible.

>inb4 poorfag

Can anyone recommend headphones that don't leak too much?

>>51899179
faggot

I've always wondered if an amp is necesarry?
How much of a difference will i notice? Is it worth it?
How many of you actually use an amp?

I'm thinking of getting new cans. Budget is around 500$ in all so headphones/amps/dacs and all that. I really don't know shit about headphones and I'm currently using meme50's handed down to me by my brother.

I listen to your typical /mu/ shit I guess (Indie, Pop, Glitch, Meal, Post-Hardcore, Punk, Hardcore, ambient)

>>51899417

>>51895405
>xpt100

high five, i have these and they're great

since this is a headphone thread i thought i'd ask, do any of you guys get a sort of unpleasant burning sensation in your ear canals after listening to music for a while? for me even after only one album my ears start to hurt. i really don't understand why, i don't listen to music that loudly and i always take at least a 20 minute break after a session of music listening. maybe i just have really sensitive ears?

>>51898730

>tfw kinda miss the times where I just had portapros and a Thinkpad T420

Times were simpler.

>>51899463
you're listening to music too loudly

>>51894486

bow down poorfags

>>51899463
>>51899495
This.

The reason you think you're not listening to it very loudly is because your hearing is severely damaged.

>>51899495
>>51899575
damn, that's a real bummer. guess i'll take a break from music for a while then and turn the volume knob down in the future. maybe it's because i use replaygain so i underestimate how loud the music really is.

>>51899495
>>51899630
Not necessarily. Listen if there is a particular range of freqeuency that hurts more than others, and if so lower it.

>amp
the one built into my usb interface. Sounds fine, but currently waiting for Schiit magni to arrive. Might be missing out on something but feel that this is an awful excuse for more gear.

>>51899740
yeah i think i'm sensitive to high frequencies but my headphones aren't particularly bright at all. i've tried out equalizer apo to lower the treble a bit but i can't get the program to work. foobar's built in equalizer is unfortunately garbage so i kinda avoided using it.

Feels gud man

Grado SR-80s for general listening
Custom IEM SE-125 for gym, whatever
Shure SRH-940 for serious business

i wish companies would stop putting phone attachments to their headphones, nobody wants that shit

>>51894486
I've got those they hurt my right ear if I wear for more than half an hour.

Bose Quiet Comfort 15's that someone left behind on a plane

>>51894486
I got those too! I always have to raise the volume to almost max to get the full soundscape of what I'm listening to, just me?

I got some meme-phones for black friday this year. Say what you want, but they do sound perty good. First pair of decent headphones I've ever had.

>>51894486
HD600 + Yulong D100 (DAC/Amp)

I love my DAC/Amp, I would recommend it to you OP. How much do you want to spend to the Amp + DAC?

I mostly use my speakers though.

>>51901487
Check to see if the cable is in right.

>>51894486
>>51894784
>>51896880
>>51901487
Should I buy these or the ath50's? or should I expect pretty much the same quality

I am thinking to buy these for potable use. How are they?

>>51899885
>thinking tube amps dont noticeably degrade sound quality

why are audiophiles so dumb?

>>51902679
>he thinks i give a shit when i have a class a solid state amp next to it
why are poorfags so dumb and blind?

>>51902781
>wasting money on something that affords no benefits

too bad youre still the one losing this

>>51894486
Just got the same pair today bro, there pretty sweet

>>51902679
audiophools

>>51902072
If you're more of a basshead, I would go with the ath50s. i'm happy with momentum's though, very clean sounding and the mids and highs are both very clean and punchy.

>>51903063
>uses same adjective twice
i'm dumb

>>51902924
Go to an audio convention and listen to different amps.

They all sound different, Some can power more than a single headphone at a time.

>>51899535

>spending that much on headphones when you can pretty much use the money for a kickass speaker setup

AKG K550 master race

>>51903530
>$400
>kick ass speaker setup

not likely, unless you're extremely lucky or patient

>>51903530
Personally, I live in an apartment building so I wouldn't be able to listen to music, at least too loud, on kickass speakers.

>>51903617

It's 450 Euro here, that's like 550$

>>51903637

Dunno how it is where you live but I live in an apartment building too and I can blast till 10 PM according to local law. Also the building is made of brick and walls are not thin.

>>51903667
yeah but some of us in this world arent complete dicks and can sit comfortably in our rooms with our $200 headphones and an amp and be perfectly fine without making everyone else in our apartment complex miserable

>>51903743

Well since you called me a dick enjoy losing your hearing as you age.

>>51903772
lol are you for real?

>>51894727
it's not intimidating, it's all there is anymore
