/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

You really can't go wrong with Sennheiser. Those are good headphones for the price.

>>54337446
nah you're good. there are others but it all gets subjective

>>54337494
>>54337507
It's a shame that most of the price is in the ugly aesthetics of the model

These are great headphones. I've had them for 6 years and haven't had a single problem. Sound great

i have that set. no complaints

>>54337544
that's not even true though, wtf

also they're for listening to music, not looking at lmfao. if you're shopping for aesthetic then just get Beats like all the other normies

>>54337446
Wow. I literally bought thtese 3 days ago, It's basically between those or the Audiotech ath-m50x

>>54337665
I mean they'd be cheaper if they didn't have the real leather and pointless wood finish.

>>54337446
I wear my shit in public I like the aesthetic better than the audiotechs

>>54337446
I tried these on today, they are excellent. These are the headphones to get if source is going to a problem. I plugged it into my phone and it cleaned that shit up good. The midrange was fluid and excellent. No crackle.

I have a pair of sony mdr-ma 900s that I'm using to play the same tracks. Off my phone these are harsh. They are incredibly accurate, the music doesn't sound as good.

The 598s will sound amazing connected to an ipod, a phone, or a computer. There's some benefit connecting them to better sources.

I've got Audio-technica M50's and they were the best purchase I've ever made. Sound quality is incredible, and very comfortable to wear. They were $130 from Canadian Amazon, so take that as you will.

>>54337727
that doesn't even cost much, friend

>>54337750
premium parts m8. don't tell me you buy all you stuff economy class

>>54338040
didn't sound too much better than beats executive

>>54338195
>didn't sound too much better than beats executive
PFWAHAHAHAHAHA

Sony MDR 7506 master race.

>>54337750
> wearing open back headphones in public

>>54338334
no need to get assblasted because i made a comment that you're hipster poor people memephones are as good as whats on display at bestbuy

>>54338422
you're either trolling or an idiot lol

i would recommend the headphone general on /g/ if you are looking to spend some dosh on a pair of headphones.
the people on /mu/ are mostly underage people who know very little about things like this.

>>54337727
i don't get why they'd go through the trouble of finishing it with leather and wood and then have the huge black bit (and cable) that doesn't fit with the look at all

>>54338392
>implying I don't have an hour commute to college everyday
Yes nigga I wear my $200+ Headphones in public

>>54338392
I wore my Grados all the time on campus

just this day i saw a white nerd walk down the street with a pair of HD598s on his head
i almost burst out laughing because of how ridiculous he looked

what the fuck is wrong with all of you

am i the only one that thinks they look fine?

>>54338483
no one fucking cares how much they cost my point is that they leak lots of sound and are annoying to everyone around you

>>54338444
but i have a pair. my sr 60 are comparable and my 325 destroy them. there's no need to hate beats just because you're a memer

>>54337727
sennheiser doesnt use real leather you dumbasss, its also not real wood

>>54338511
>white nerd
racism aside, you will look stupid because of how big those headphones are so wear headphones outside

Sennheiser's are pretty boomy but it makes audio kind of more exciting that way. Unless you wan't something more level.
Sony are kind of brighter.
My fav are Grado
SR125e phones are $150
I have a 225e pair and I love them. ($200)

>>54338579
alright dude whatever you say lol

>>54338661
senns are anything but boomy

Bought these about 3 1/2 years ago, still one of the best purchases I've ever made

>>54337727
The wood finish is definitely plastic and I'm pretty certain the leather is fake.

>>54338661
>Sennheisers
>boomy

you've never used a pair of Sennheisers in your life

>>54338684
>your status:

>annoyed

What amp should i get to connect to my pc? I alread5 have a dac

>>54338733
>>54338826
if you don't think senns are boomy you need some new ears
ttyl
source: my ears don't suck

>>54337978
>I have a pair of sony mdr-ma 900s that I'm using to play the same tracks. Off my phone these are harsh. They are incredibly accurate, the music doesn't sound as good.
That's because you need a headphone amp bruh bruh

>>54337594
>6 years

Not Op, but are the 598s built well? I had a cheaper pair break on me very quickly. The build quality isn't that great.

>>54337446
They sound nice if you're looking for an almost completely "neutral" and balanced sound. Some people complain that they have no character, but it really just depends on what you're looking for. If there's any possible way to listen before you buy, definitely do it.

>>54338866
they're not boomy

>>54338866
are you also 12?

>>54338840
sure dude lmao

>>54338948
this is the post where i'm jk
deg deg

Does anyone have Quietcomfort 25's?

I need a second pair of headphones for walking around.

>>54338928
theyll last a lifetime if you take decent care of them

>>54338684
dude, you watched 3 reviews and that one black haired idiot who compared them to beats got millions of views and make a judgement call on a pair of headphones when you don't even understand proper sound reproduction.

>>54338928
they're made with plastic
so
yeah

>>54337446

i have 598s and like them a lot but the treble can be a little weak sometimes if youre in the mood for a more aggressive sound

>>54338422
>all the douchebros buy them cuz muh dr. dre and muh trend
>incredibly unbalanced
>absurdly muddy low end
>and you think they're as good as senns, grados, etc.

expensive =/= better

>>54338928
I have owned a pair for a few years now and haven't had any problems. I mean you can't drop them are anything, but they're sturdy enough for regular use for sure. I will also say that they are truly the most comfortable pair of headphones I've ever tried on - there have been times that I've actually forgotten I had them on.

>>54338993
I didn't watch any reviews so I have no idea what you're talking about

are Sony MDR ZX600 good?

for outdoor listening i mean

someone recommend me decent headphones under 100$

>>54339046
he's saying that the m50's are on the beats level, meaning he doesn't like them you moron.

>>54339100
Grado sr 80 just spend the $100 m8

>>54338982
>>54339049

Well I own a pair of K240s and they've survived me dropping them and various shit. Is the build quality similar in terms of how easily it will break?

>>54338195

it's still better than headphones that are more expensive? i loved my m50s but I wanted open back so I got 598s then LCD-2r2. I still have both and absolutely love the LCD-2.

cheapest(less than $40) earbuds with some bass?

>>54339260
LCD 2r2.
if i had $1000 dollars for headphones I'd spend it on some speakers. can't really relax with a pair of headphones on

>>54339341
apple buds

>>54339341
none. just but the apple earbuds for $30.

>>54339072
plz respond

>>54339365

i got them for $850, i know that isn't that great of a difference. they are surprisingly comfortable for their weight. the 598s are more comfortable probably, but i dunno, i just like how headphones sound. i will look more into good speakers one day.

>>54339341

i like these:

>>54339341
check out the soundmagic e10s

I have a pair and they sound really awesome, but really not intended for outdoor use

>>54338382
Beyer's DT 770 pro is superior in every respect for like 70 bucks more.

I got a pair of these a few days ago. Classical, jazz, and prog rock sound amazing.

>>54342027
no shit. since they all use instruments with the same dynamics

>>54342079
what are you even mad about?

I love my comfy Senns but I hate the wire
Anyone know any good wireless headphones?

>>54342131
Nothing

>>54342223
so you just made a totally pointless comment for shits n giggles?

>>54342259
what are you mad about now?

>>54342079
>prog rock
>the same dynamics as classical

>>54342290
im only asking questions.

>>54338766
same except like 1½ year ago, they're still amazing.

>>54342301
doesn't know that all those instruments used in those genres fall into the same frequency range. so if a pair of headphones does well in rock it will do well in jazz, blues, country, spoken word, classical etc

>>54342352
i don't like questions

>>54338382
mah nigguh

>>54342427
Frequency range has nothing to do with dynamics.

>>54342485
don't get technical with me cum crusader

>>54342485
Then don't post wrong things :^)

So I'm looking to finally get some "end game" headphones after having middle tier ones for a while. I haven't tried enough headphones to be completely certain, but I'm pretty sure I prefer dark over bright.

Anyone have any thoughts on the LCD-2 and all its iterations?

>>54343302
Wow disregard that I suck dicks. I didn't scroll up and see people talking about it already.

>>54343333
you dont deserve yourself

>>54341440
>$70 more

>>54338040
Love These. Not the greatest sound available but high quality and incredible bang for your buck.

>>54344524
Yea, those are some of the best priced cans on the market

>>54338392

I wear my Grados around town

>>54344573
you look dumb.

>>54344573
Yeah same. I don't give a fuck if people can hear what I'm listening to if I'm outside. If I'm on a bus or in any kind of public location I turn down the volume enough such that it's barely audible to others around me.

>>54344634
For wearing headphones? Lmfao you must be fucking joking

>some headphones are socially acceptable to wear in public but others aren't
what a joke

>>54344692
>some headphones are socially acceptable to wear in public but others aren't

yes. that's true grados look extremely dumb on your head. be more self aware.

>>54344634

Ouch, guess I'll stop wearing my Grados around town

>>54344783
Jesus dude, once again why the hell should I care what the look like? They sound good so I wear them, I don't fucking care if people are judging me based on how my headphones look

Headphones are for listening to, do people not understand this

>>54344848
they*

>>54344783

Your level of self awareness is autismal if you think people are passing you on the street thinking "wow this guys such a douche with his Grados"

>>54344848
>I don't fucking care if people are judging me based on how my headphones look
ever try attracting a sexual partner. you wont with that attitude.

>Headphones are for listening to, do people not understand this
yes but headphones are for personal listening. walking around with open backs that sound like speakers and look like antennas makes you look extremely unaware and foolish

>>54344901
I entirely agree with you but nowadays if anything it's probably more along the lines of "wow this guy's such a douche with his not Beats" lol

>>54344953
le rong generatshun

>>54344939
How insecure do you have to be to think like this? So what if people an hear what you're listening to when you're walking around outside. If that makes me look unaware and foolish then fuck it, that's what I am

>>54344939

>this guy implying he's had sexual interactions with anything non-inanimate

>>54345009
>not understanding social cues
>i don't care, i do what i want
you have autism or you're a nigger.

respect others, respect yourself

>>54345050
More like
>not caring about trivial social cues
You care way too much about the dumbest fucking things

>>54345050

>respect others, respect yourself

Giving aggressive advice is not "respecting others", and excessive masturbation is not "respecting yourself"

>>54345085
>trivial social cues

it's been a rule to not look like a fucking retard when you go out in public since the dawn of civilization

>>54345120
If you think a pair of headphones makes you look like a fucking retard then you have serious insecurity issues

>>54345120

>>54345120
Headphones don't make you look like a retard though, if anything they just make you look comfy.

Just upgraded from sr60s to pic related a few weeks ago. These guys are great but I'm thinking I should get a DAC and amp

>>54345240
yes because a 2 inch thick pad on both ears makes you look comfy. it looks silly

>>54345282
>These guys are great but I'm thinking I should get a DAC and amp
Yes.
>>54345295
ok you must be trolling

hope you had fun

>>54345295

Who cares? Beside you?

>>54341440
That's damn near double the price.

>>54345282
not needed. they have the same low impedance as the other Grado headphones unless you want to blow your ears out by turning it up to 11 you can drive these reasonably well with just about any amp
>>54345335
>>54345346
irredeemable. and here i was thinking you guys were the ones being the retarded trolls

>>54338382
is the sound neutral?
I don't really like the idea of getting closed headphones

>>54345406
>>54345406
>sound neutral
>don't like the idea of getting closed headphones
you sound like you've been memed. these are great and respected headphones that will suit anyone just fine

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but make sure you get a better 1/4" to headphone adapter than what comes with it, assuming you are not using amplification with that output. The one that is included is chintzy and bulky - slips out of headphone jacks

>>54337446
I got em and I love em. Nothing short of amazing.

>>54337727
>real leather and wood
I wish, tbh.

>>54338483
Also, if OP has to commute, he should get some closed backs like the ATH m50x and not be an asshole like the above poster. No one wants to hear your sound leak in public, and the sealing with closed backs provides superior sound anyways.

>>54345387
>everyone disagrees with me
>I must be right

anyone with q701's? how are they?

>>54338766
Comfiest headphones I've ever owned.

Asked it in the /hpg/ on /g/ already, but does anyone have any experience with these? Looking to buy a pair here soon.

>>54338382
my negro
have mine with velor pads

>>54337446
Get HD 558s, you can mod them to sound like the pair you posted, if you need headphones to take on the subway or something, get ATH-M50s, with the sennheisers everyone around you can hear

>>54346014
>Get HD 558s, you can mod them to sound like the pair you posted
Speaking of the mod, I've had mine for a coupel of months. I've tried searching some guides on youtube but some looked shady, what is the best guide for this or what I need to know?

>>54346736
Just follow this and it should go smoothly
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k-kJ7sN16qw

Got them, but aint too happy. Good when on a PC but that's it.

>>54342163
Wireless headphones come with feedback. Do not recommend.

>>54342027
had a pair of these for over a year and i still love them, good pick

Sennheiser Momentum over ears. First pair of hi-fi headphones. Amazing so far.

Sennheiser 650 master race reporting in.

You look like a fat man child. Lose weight.

>>54347280
Yeah you're right.

>>54347262
babby face fatty

>>54347262
Lose weight you obese cunt.
>>54347297
If you know then do something about it. It's always the case of acknowledging it and not doing anything about it.

>>54347262
You're underage

>>54347348
I'm 25.

>>54347351
You're 16.

>>54347341
I've lost 75 lbs. I use to be a lot bigger.

>>54340273
this. solid bass response. Almost makes the highs underwhelming depending on song choice but worth 40 dollars easily

>>54347376
I'm just kidding on the insults. That's rude for no reason. Really, congratulations on the weight loss. That's awesome. Keep it up.

>>54347371
Maybe its because I need to shave my face for work I don't know (I sandblast so I need to have a clean seal for a respirator.) Always thought I looked my age.

>>54347417
Oh it's okay I just don't want people to think I have a victim complex about my weight.
>thin privilege!

>>54347570
Nah I get you. Fatties know deep down that it's their own fault.

>>54347587
Yup

>>54340273
>>54347394
Thanks

>>54345605
I've never heard the W5000s, but if you're going to spend $500+ on headphones, wouldn't it be a safer bet to purchase headphones that have a better reputation.

Their frequency response curve on headroom looks awful.

I just got these, and I've had Sennheiser, Beats (gift), and Kicker headphones.
These Sony's are by a fucking long shot the most comfortable headphones I've ever felt, and they sound fucking fantastic too with the 40mm driver.
I will never buy a different set of headphones from these.

So my XB700's are just beginning to wear out on me after 5 years. What should i replace them with?

>>54337446
i use these

>>54345240
Oh boy, let's consult /fa/ on that one. I mean, they're aspies as well, but at least they try and mask it
