I wondering if I should remove my stickers or not.

After buying my MDR-7506 and cheap DAC and rediscovering my love for the X2HR I think I might be set on headphones.

i actually wanna know where I can find replacements, it doesn't look right without the stickers

Well mine were already kind of damaged out of the box.

damn i got extreme listener fatigue rn after listening to subbass tones w/ eq for 30 mins yesterday. cant listen to headphones today bros

My hd 600 and e10k-tc arrived. When I set it to high gain I was blown away. It made the initially flat feeling sound more Vshaped but not enough that it ruined the mids for me, very satisfied. I bought a DT990 Pro to get an idea of how these two sound signatures felt like but the treble was too much for me so im returning it and keeping the 600s.
Maybe down the road ill consider a schiit stack but I dont know how much itll be an upgrade over my current setup.

I literally just bought some of these from the store today.
Did I fuck up Any Forums? I got them to monitor bass guitar.

they're fine, and probably the best value under $100

What's the general consensus on topping e30 and l30?
It's pretty easy for me to order something from ali, so I'm interested in those.

I like my headphones flatter than a pedo's taste

That was not supposed to be a reply, my apologies

oh ok.
well it hurts to listen to headphones on my usual volume and my ears feel like they are stuffed a little bit. prob 3rd time this happened to me and every time it occurs after I test out the sub bass through a tone generator for a couple of minutes.

You're right to take time off. Hearing damage gets worse with longer exposure to any sound. No one wants tinnitus

I bought a HD560S, I thought it sucked but then I switched the audio port from the back of my pc to the front one and holy fucking balls. Who said this didnt have bass? Also will a dac do me good?

>don't buy this slow headphone, buy this other slow headphone instead
it's all so tiresome

Must suck, subbass is the only reason I pull up my headphones.

Don't try to listen to extremely low frequencies with a tone generator. Had a very scary experience once where what I thought was

I like the HD600 too and it seems to be common endgame for everyone. It's flat and can be easily customizable, where other V-or-whatever shaped headphones are always too much trouble for me to EQ.
However, I have dilated so much that I never use the EQ anymore and now just use the HD600 as it is.

Headphones are shit for lower register monitoring. They blow it up to loud and you just end up burying it down. Good for solo practice though.
t. bassist

Can you se a 3.5mm cable with 2 plugs for a headphone that only has a jack on one side?

they're going to be jacks wired mono so no you can't
