I can tell you right now that edition xv is bad.

>>106232210
what are you looking for? dd openbacks with bass? already on the market

>>106232277
Something comfortable.

anything up to around $350

use with my PC, which entails gaming, music, youtube, movies, typical audio shit
>Kind
over ear for certain. closed is preferred but not strictly necessary. wired is very very much preferred.
>Past headphones
been using picrel for the past 2 or so years. no complaints really, just looking for something new and preferably with little to no flashiness.
>Source
PC. preferably either USB A or C

is this the endgame if you have jaw problems and can't wear over-ears or iem's longer than an hour or two?
anyone ever custom design some sort of headband for over-ears that doesn't rely on lateral clamp force?

>>106232311
This is the endgame.

hello
bought a K702 and a fiio E10K literally 10 years ago on this general's advice and could not have been more pleased
my E10K died recently and wanted to know if anything similar and possibly had been released since then or if i should just get another one and call it a day

obviously within the same cheap price range, didn't cope much at all at the time

>>106232158
I've never used these so I'm not authoritative here. After reading some reviews they seem okay - good materials and isolation with neutral-dark sound and damped treble. Has some design/qc issues (twisting plastic headband locks tend to break, kinda heavy, proprietary cable design).

Personally, I wouldn't buy them, but I have big ears and am sensitive to headphones' weight, so my assessment criteria might be different from yours.

>>106232734
iFi Uno is on sale on amazon where I live right now for <$60 USD. I haven't used it myself but it has stellar reviews and I can vouch for their other stuff (Zen stack).

>>106232294
I'm going to assume from your answer to >Source that you don't have an external DAC/amp so I'll factor that into the price. Since you seem pretty happy with your g-ayyy-mer headset I'll also assume that you're a bit of a basshead.
I'd say DT 770 (80 ohm) or an M50X + iFi Uno I rec'd earlier.

>>106233143
no idea what a DAC or amp is but you are absolutely correct that i like bass.
i like the look of the dt 770, but i see that there is a pro version as well as a dt 990. i dont mind paying more for better quality.
should i get a DAC or amp if i were to get one of those dt headphones? do you have any recommendations for one?

hows the Fidelio x3

Is the DT 770 PRO X worth the price increase over the DT 770 Pro 80 ohm?

>>106225502
I'll see if I wait for the sale then.
>>106225573
So you say I should keep my Nothing Ears and just buy the FT5 for home use?

How do I know whether I'll even be able to appreciate good headphones? I was gonna buy the Sony XM4, but realised I've got the Sony WH-CH520 and never had a problem before. I was considering picking up a DT 770 Pro or something, but that might be overkill for someone that'd only use it for music, youtube, asmr and gaming.

I can hear the difference between 320kbps and a FLAC file. I'm not sure if I could tell the difference between lossy & lossless (?) except file-size.

shit, wrong pic

>>106236829
why are you saving pictures of obese women onto your pc

>>106235409
i would also like to know this.

>>106237110
I like the idea of before & afters.

>>106233900
the D2000 is still the most balanced sounding biodynas I've tried. I've had the nighthawk, e-mu ebony, x00 mahogany, th610, th900 mk-i and they all are annoyingly low end forward (to some extent).
are the teaks as bass heavy as the ebony? is the rosewood worth hunting for?

>>106230824 (OP)
I recently picked up some Hifiman Sundaras with a Topping DX1 DAC, fucking loving them so far. Only complaint is they're a bit tight on the noggin and the earcups don't twist, otherwise, they're lovely. Very crisp, detailed, balanced sound, very sturdy construction.

>>106233237
You need both a DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) and an amp (amplifier) for headphones with sufficiently high power demand. Must "plug-and-play" headphones are designed with very low power requirements and usually use the (inherently not great due to electromagnetic interference) DAC inside your computer. Both of these things lead to worse sound.

In my suggestion, the iFi Uno is an external DAC + amp combo unit you connect with USB. The DT 770 Pro is just the newer model, while the 990 is a different open-back (leaks sound, does not isolate you from surroundings, but will sound better/more open) pair of headphones. There's also the newer Pro X (48ohm) which costs a bit more and has a newer driver with wider dynamic range. You should get a DAC + amp for these headphones either way, the difference is very noticeable.

>>106239195
thank you. i like the sound of the iFi uno and the 770 pro x.

>>106232158
I had these when they released, it was one of the shortest hype trains imo.
Good overall closed back headphones, neutral sound with a little bit of bass boost and reduced treble, small congested soundstage and ok imaging, not very comfortable for me due to the small earpads, and the cooling gel is a gimmick.
Sadly it was forgotten due to the early headband mechanism problems, and release of the fiio ft1 after that, which killed the small hype that these had.
If you want it be sure to get one of the newer batches with improved locking mechanism (see picrel)

Pastebin is expired

I'm looking for something cheap and light but not complete shit, are the koss porta pros still the go to for that sorta thing?

>>106232861
>>106239289
Thanks for the replies, I'm really torn now. They sell for about $130 USD here while alternatives like the Fiio FT1 sell for about $177 USD but I really don't like sending money to the chinese (our government does that enough.) The proprietary cables and small earcups + all the little nitpicks are really a bummer and it seems like i'd just be wasting money not buying something else

HD 490 PRO or MM-100?

Have good headphones been invented yet

>>106238251
Xir, that is a kitten. I don't think they can respond

>>106239904
MM-100 distort less in the bass but their FR is worse and QC is no doubt worse since entry level Audeze is still chinkshit.
With EQ I'd still probably take the Audeze though, since I love some subbass.
>>106239943
Yes, DCA/Mrspeakers has been a thing for a while now.
>>106236819
Go to an audio store and audition some things. If you can't hear a difference between hifi headphones and your wireless Snoys you're ngmi and shouldn't bother.

What is the most based producer of headphones?

>>106240576
Probably Verum since he called the people who complained about his headphones niggers and normalfags still boycott his company because of it. Audeze and DCA don't bother with any politics as far as I'm aware. Not for long for Audeze though since Snoy owns them now. Sennheiser has a fagshit colored pair of cans and Beyer is chinese now.

T50RP mk4 impressions?

Wow, it sure is a good thing I can continue using my HD280 Pros without giving a flying fuck about some random PR statement.

I've been using picrel for like half a year now and so far all is good. Highly recommended.
