iPod earbuds. They're terrible but I forgot what it's like to have my headphones not fuck with the top of my head. I have autism

grado hemps or softears volume s iems at home/work, and koss portapros when i'm outside walking around (they're on-ears so you can still hear your environment and maintain situational awareness)

Hifiman Edition XS. They're extremely uncomfortable, but all headphones are uncomfortable to me, and they sound vastly better than the shitty Sennheiser HD 6XXs I had before.

>>126960057
I've got a pair of Sundaras. They're very tight on my relatively small head. Love the sound but I'm hoping they slacken off in time. I've also got Fidelio X2s and they're pretty damn comfy in comparison.

M50X

These bad boys are the fucking best

>>126959663 (OP)
I have a pair of HD 600s. I love the sound and they're insanely comfortable but i'd like to get a pair of IEMs to compliment them for when it gets hot.

Bose QC II

Could do with a pair of wireless headphones that actually has proper noise cancellation, it’s almost there but not what I was expecting. I don’t want to hear retards jabbering near me ever

02 amp and a piece of shit magni 3
i had a thx 789 or 889 i forgot which that killed itself and it was also horrible. I'll probably get a valhalla 2 or build my own tube amp when i get the chance. I have some old jvc stereo amp that strangely has an outrageous amount of power and doesn't really have noise until 80% but it has a channel imbalance i havnt fixed but it has to be almost 1.5x the power of the o2 or magni.

kz hbb pr2's

hd598s as a they were my backup pair
I had HD700s that everyone seems to hate but I really loved them for the massive soundstage, and I don't give a shit about bass. Eventually they broke though, nearly 10 years of daily use and abuse took them out.

Need a new high end pair at some point, but been too lazy to do the research. Been tempted by >>126963310 but I assume they wouldn't be that massive of an upgrade.

>>126963489
location?

>>126963492
you what

>>126963489
>>126963510
believe it or not buying headphones is very dependent on location. If your in america you have a lot more options, same goes for canucks.

>wired headphones
What the fuck how do you even cope wires are god awful and I’m glad that era is being phased out

>>126963532
im britbong and have options for buying most headphones, its mostly just laziness thats been preventing me as these 598s work plenty well

>>126963553
you don't need good wired headphones when you listen to music from spotijew.

>>126963553
>What the fuck how do you even cope wires are god awful and I’m glad that era is being phased out
it isn't, maybe amongst low iq people who would give up everything to avoid a wire

>>126963567
the best budget options are from drop,which was far as i know doesn't ship to bongs. The aeon and the 6xx are still the best bang for your buck and it isn't close. Although you can probably get aeons shipped to bongland from egay.
I would personally recommend the aeon, or really anything from mrspeakers/dan clark. Pretty much all of them on the used market sell within the price you'd get new 600/650 for and destroy them. The 600's you would probably find less comfortable than the 598, but the 600/650 sound better but it's not the biggest upgrade there is.
I would avoid chinkfiman like the plague considering it's probably without a shadow of a doubt the worst qa company of anything i've ever heard of. Even the susvara has qa problems($6k USD).
There is also the r70x, the hd 490 and some other if you are only looking for new headphones, but i personally have never had a problem with used stuff and have saved a lot from it

>>126963652
ta for the recs mate
im not too worried about budget and all that, i think these 598s are great daily drivers but i liked having the 700s for that "flagship" feel, even if people bickered over the actual audio levels being good or shit
i was tempted to just go with a more obvious choice like the DT990s and stuff like that so I got to check out more of the "classics", but then I would like something closer to the "top end for people who arent millionaires" just to really crank the volume and take it in on special occasions

like part of me was unironically considering meze but once it reaches the "several thousands" i do start to back out a bit

>>126963567
Sennheiser often has discounted "refurbished" stuff here:
https://www.sennheiser-hearing.com/en-UK/outlet/
They're basically brand new.

>>126963705
The HD 800 is the obvious choice if you liked the hd 700. After that it gets completely into side grades/potentially better or just different tech like electrostats. I settled on them myself after owning both open/closed aeons/ethers/ and pretty much every single mid-fi headphone of relevancy there was. I got kind of lucky on mine so they weren't even $1k cad and i really couldn't be happier

>>126963646

>>126963753
>I’ve got an excellent speaker setup at home and high end wireless is just as good
anon, if you are being filtered by a wire i don't know what to say. The only decent wireless headphones are all flawed to hell and overly expensive for what they are, just to not plug in a wire? All of them still get hyper mogged by anything decent, have you considered you just don't care about audio quality?
I shill speakers more than anyone and strongly believe my mirage omni 550's to hold up to most headphones but let's not be delusional here

>>126963753
>Even if you just sit at home why would you want to plug a fucking cable into your sound system when you don’t need to any more
I don't want cancer from having bluetooth slop in my ears, thanks.

love these, just bought some new earpads as the ones it came with were flaking off, been using it with my Dragonfly Cobalt DAC for the last few years, don't know if the dac actually does anything fancy but I'm happy with my setup

I have some UA project the rock headphones my sister got me for a Christmas. They were good at first but then they started making a beeping noise when i'd turn my head sometimes and its gotten annoying. Wouldn't recommend them.

CD900ST at home, KSC75 on the go.

I'm looking for comfortable over-ear headphones that I could wear for hours (8+ hours) on a daily basis without it being a painful experience (pressure on the head, ears sweating). I listen to all kinds of music (mostly electronic), so anything that is decent for all genres would be preferable. Another thing I'm looking for is passive noise cancelling (decreasing the volume of sounds around me like voices and such).
The long usage comfort, decent sound and passive noise cancelling are a must. The budget doesn't matter as much, what would you recommend?

I like wired earbuds but they break too frequently end up buying 3 a year

Soundcore space Q45s. They're pretty great, although I'd like to upgrade soon. In fact, I don't really listen to music outside/on the go anymore, so I may switch to something open back.

Athchads where you at?

>>126965703
Dan clark Aeon closed back would be better than basically anything for the use case you described. They also happen to be one of the only planars that isn't riddled with qa/design flaws.

Shure SRH840 most of the time.
Sometimes i switch to Fostex T50RP(without any mods, all the modded versions i heard sound way worse than stock)
Beyerdynamic DT880 600ohm for my tube amp, which i only use when i listen to live shows.
Bluetooth version of ATH-M50x, worst headphones i have, even when wired.

A good headphone amp is as important as the cans themselves - there's little point in driving $500+ headphones with a $0.15 amp IC.

>>126965703
>I'm looking for comfortable over-ear headphones that I could wear for hours (8+ hours) on a daily basis without it being a painful experience
Being deaf is a painful experience. (Tinnitus is arguably even worse.)

Don't listen to headphones for even an hour or so without taking long breaks.

>>126968763
>A good headphone amp is as important as the cans themselves
not really. even an 02 amp which msrpd at like $60 can run basically anything, especially what kinds of gear people in this thread have. I think most peoples files/source of music is so trash that they think they need a lot more than they do. The odd time i've had to go on yt for a song it's like half the volume of all my files with replaygain settings applied.
It also doesn't help there is pretty much nothing of lower quality than the audio amp industry. Schiit spent the first few years pumping out absolute hyper trash, which they still do, i mean the magni 3+ on gain has audible noise, ontop of them not honoring warranties. The thx 778/889 was failing in under a year for most people and had horrific qa, i myself had one die in literally a week.

Headphones are a dramatic different in audio quality, where amps might have some effect of general volume level but by no means are they making any pair of headphones noticeably better

I liked my ethers before i sold them. Kind of paid a bit more than i wanted at the time but the separation on those was truly unmatched by anything else I've tried. Might grab a pair again with how insanely cheap they go for on gaybay these days

>>126968698
No point getting a DAC/AMP until you're sure you need one. If your current setup is loud enough and you can't hear any background hiss when you play digital silence you don't need one.

>>126968785
There's nothing magical about headphones for causing hearing damage. Get a SPL meter and compare with speakers so you can see how loud you're actually listening. Anything over 70dB(A) can cause hearing loss. Workplace safety standard of 85dB(A) is set to avoid causing legal deafness not to avoid all hearing loss. I think there are two common reasons why people listen too loud with headphones: too much background noise, and insufficient bass fooling them into thinking it's quiet. Closed planars like >>126968475 (with EQ if necessary) mitigate both those problems.

>>126968853
they're "goated" for me, as the younguns say. they fit the exact sound signature that my boomer ears like if i add just a little bit of mid-bass to them

aeons on the used market are about $300 usd, sometimes even less. I probably should of stated that in my post for budget anons. They have some higher end variants that are more than the drop ones ($529) is that what you saw or are you using a different currency?

I used Sony XM4 over ears cause I wanted noise cancelling and they work well

I don't want what? Good headphones?

>>126969142
I've owned open box ethers cx, aeons, used aeons and 14 year old early sm hd 800s. Not one of them was even close to disgusting or smelly. The people who are into high end gear (on average) are not the kinds of people who smell like trash and destroy things. I have had 1 single bad experience with 'used' or open box headphones and it was the dt 880 which smelt like hair gell and i had to return them.
So my logic, at least on the 10 pairs i've owned holds

>>126969158
Would you recommend anything up to 300 dollars (new)?

For some reason I still really really like these headphones for all the years I've owned them, the sound is nice and they fit nicely on my head, I would assume a ''gaming'' headset would be bad but they are actually really good

Anker wireless headphones or Anker wireless earbuds. I don't believe in bluetooth/ANC giving you AIDS or whatever, so I like these for their battery life and decent sound for the price. I mostly listen for the melodies anyways and EQ out the worst of the bass boost they tend to give.

>>126969255
The Sennheiser 6xx still holds as the best value headphone on the market, it has a pleasant sound profile for most people and the pads ands the headband pad are cheap and easy to replace
The r70x is essentially the hd 600/650/6xx line but with a strange headband design, at least the old one that's been heavily discounted but with a wider soundstage and probably a more desired sound profile for most people

if you want something cheaper and are fine with open backs you can look into the hd 599 or the 560's as both tend to go on sale for quite cheap, the 560 being essentially perm on sale for $180 CAD and the hd 599 for $120 a few times a year, but i would still take the 600 line or the r70x over both

The m40x is cheaper than the m50x if you want closed backs with a better signature and need or want closed backs, other closed backs in that tier are pretty bad over all, the other one of note is the dt 770 but it's got the most ear rape treble of anything you can probably find

But in general you can't go wrong with just sticking with the hd 600 line like most people do, it gets kind of cluster fucked beyond that

https://www.thomann.co.uk/hifi_headphones.html

what are the best ones under 100 pounds, preferably around 50-70 pounds?

>>126969476
That's a tough one, the best ones from what i could see were slightly above your price with the akg k702 at 105, aside from those maybe the hd 569 from sennheiser. Anything else seems like it's pretty much junk or chinese, although the other i suggested are also made in china. The k702 has it's problems, most notably comfort but you can cut a piece of foam and double sided tape or adhesive it to the headband for more comfort, they still probably have the widest sound stage of any western brand below the hd 800, but the treble is quite piercing. The hd 569 should be the most comfortable on that website in that tier though, they are also closed back if you want that.
everything else i'm too inexperienced with to comment on but there might be something worth looking into still

>>126959663 (OP)
Desktop: FT1 Pro open backs with a Zen Stack DAC/amp combo. I kinda want to get the Senny HD6XX at some point in the future. I used Sony 7506s for years and years and loved the hell out of them and only upgraded a year ago.

i only ever buy used, but i only get high end and 'boutique' gear that were only used probably once or twice because "it wasnt resolving enough" or "i did not find the soundstage very satisfying"

>by no means are headphone amps making any pair of headphones noticeably better
That's entirely dependent on one's ability to notice, isn't it?

If you're the kind of person who doesn't notice the difference between amplifiers (or wired vs wireless, or lossless vs lossy encoding), then it's easy for you to say it doesn't make a difference.

But to those who can hear the difference, the differences are very real, and significant.

I am the kind of person to notice the difference, it's why I've hoarded more headphones than any reasonable person would. It's just not how amplifiers work, maybe if you were talking tube amps or using hardware equalization.
Thats before getting to how much of a pointless waste of time and money most amps are, unless we start talking about giga expensive things.
Most decent amplifiers now are at the point of having enough power to run most things, as i stated earlier with the o2 being able to run hd 800 at ear rape levels of volume with no obvious hiss, like the magni 3 has on gain.

Chifiman Deva Pro wired
>>126962532
Almost went for those, but the Deva Pros are slightly more efficient so I can use them without a dedicated amp on my PC or Sansa Clip+.

>>126972545
>It's just not how amplifiers work
That's *exactly* how (good) amplifiers work. Drivers and the amplifier powering their motion to accurately (as one can achieve) reproduce an input signal aren't separate, they're parts of a single system. It's simply not understanding circuit design and audio engineering to claim otherwise.

It's fine if you can't hear the difference, or the differences don't matter to you. Millions of people choose to listen to mp3-encoded music on wireless earbuds.

That *you* don't hear it, or *you* don't care, doesn't mean other people don't easily hear meaningful differences.

>>126972931
>It's fine if you can't hear the difference, or the differences don't matter to you. Millions of people choose to listen to mp3-encoded music on wireless earbuds.
>That *you* don't hear it, or *you* don't care, doesn't mean other people don't easily hear meaningful differences.

I love how all you do is strawman everything I say. I do not use fucking mp3 files, wireless trash or think amplifiers do something. They are exactly what they are and that's adding power(volume) to something. The dramatic majority of headphones are not going to benefit from going to 140db and giving you actual hearing loss.
I don't know what i expect from someone who buys monoprice trash and then talks down to people about caring about 'audio quality'

>>126972953
or think amplifiers do nothing*

I use a pair of sennheiser HD560S (Babbys first) and an iFi ZEN DAC v2. I understand that there are way better things out there, I don't really care as this is good enough (For now at least). I would love to invest in making a savings for better gear, but I simply cannot paying off debt after moving apartments... So, gotta wait until budget turn "Out of stock". Currently listening to some "Múspellzheimr" in "CD-Quality" with them slapped over my ears

>>126963310
+1
the HD600s are absolutely fantastic. best sounding ones I've ever tried. extremely comfortable as well. I'm sure most Sennheisers in that price range are great.
>>126969404 is pretty spot on.

>>126970660
If you intend to just use your headphones in your room / around the house then I highly recommend trying out an open back pair. I used the bayerdynamics 770pro for 5 years straight and in that price range they are among the best closed backs you can get. but going from that closed off, trebble-y and tinny limited sound profile to the HD600s was genuinely astonishing and made me fall in love with music all over again. so if you primarily care about sound quality and comfort, then I highly recommend spending an extra 100 bucks or so on some nice sennys.

Got Beats but I forgot the name they were the Baby Model noise cancellers I got for 150$ and I really think at that price there is no way there are better headphones, wireless and can control everything from the headphone, good cancellation probably not Sony level I don't know, have had experiences where I listened to an old song and just started crying because it sounded so good along with the Dolby Atmos version. Not screaming bawling rofl just tears.

As always if you are in the ecosystem, Apple is way better. I tried using these headphones on my cheap PC and it was trash. oh my word

I use Kraken V3s for regular use through a normal USB out...cause that's what I expect, but when it comes to the premium stuff...I lay out my SLL 2+ and go all out of quality, especially with speakers able to output 192khz FUCK

Your projection and ignorance are a hilarious combination, and I'm no longer concerned well-meaning anons might be influenced by your childish bluster.

The essential point is always *each person should listen carefully and decide for themselves what they like - about headphones, about headphone amplifiers, about anything* - and not be misled by your "so mistaken it's not even wrong" tantrums.

there are like two pairs of wireless headphones that are even somewhat acceptable, and both have qa problems with snapping headbands and dying drivers. (focal/audeze). The truth is anon that at any price tier wired is better than wireless, and that's avoiding the subject of compression.
If you tried any decent pair of headphones it would be quite obvious, and if you think your speakers and headphones sound the same it's likely you also have poor quality speakers.
I would advice you try and demo something decent before you hold such strong opinions on the subject

There are some others but I like all of those, if you want to test a more wide range of sounds things like Fluid from yosi horikawara are good for that. I just tend to avoid his work because it's not something I'd ever listen to aside from testing. But it's incredible for what it is

I downloaded all these in lossless format, but that's a topic for another time.

Some headphones I would recommend demoing would be the HD 800, Sennheiser HD 650/600/ Dan Clark Aeon(open or closed, closed is closer to reference and open has more bass),Audeze lcd 2, Anything from stax if you can, r70x, dt 770 (just to see how bad treble can be done).

this a good deal my niggas?

>high end wireless

AirPods Pro.

First and last pair of wireless earbuds. I don't care how good they are, using them daily has made me realize that I hate wireless earbuds on a fundamental, conceptual level.

I hate Sony honestly so I'd say no, they just bass boost to shit and are cheaper quality than they should be.
Can't say for that pair specifically though, and if you're a bass junkie maybe it's aite, but I just hate them.

massdrop version sehn hd6xx, cheap and somewhat flat
