Luis Sanchez
first for MDR-CD900ST's sweet, sweet timbre
Lucas Nguyen
Are there any differences aside from aesthetics?
Don't freak out, the price is in AUD.
Michael Jones
>literally the only amp you'll ever need coming through
Parker Nguyen
what are the best wireless bluetooth headphones for running?
Brody Gonzalez
Are these the best if I just want to upgrade from my mdr7506?
Andrew Gray
/hpg/ what's the most comfy headphone?
I've used the hd6xx for a couple of years and was pretty pleased with them, until I changed the pads. I also ordered the beyer DT990 pro, very comfy but sound like ass. Next I'm getting the Philips SHP9500's since they look soft, and I see gigachad wearing them in memes
Alexander Bennett
>until I changed the pads
what happened user, I changed my pads and my 6xx is still perfectly fine
Matthew Gomez
Cheap wireless headset? Need it for a family member
Mason Thompson
yes "fine" is how I would describe it too, the replacements I got ( yaxi ) changed the sound a little, which was cool, but I wasn't able to wear them for as long without my ears getting warm. The yaxis sit on your head nicely, but the stock feels like two baby angels spooning your ears
Ian Barnes
Hd500 series for me. I returned my 58x because my 598s were so much comfier, like clouds on my ears.
Chase Turner
not sure desu, i've never owned 7506, i've heard they are v-shaped whereas the 900st's definitely don't have a prominent treble. they are more mid focused cans.
Ryan Wilson
Why didn't you just get official pads.

get lcd2cb and then open them. profit from it. or avoid closed back planars at all fucking cost. Closed back planars are a big joke unless you open the caps that block the other side so the sound can breathe in and out.
Henry Bell
Lads I need headphones with inline volume control. I’ve seen some cheap gayming headsets that have them built in. I’m not really an audio guy so I don’t think I’d notice the difference between $50 headset and a $150 dollar one. Are they really that bad?
Ayden Cooper
Rip, I've been meaning to buy some new headphones since my mdrs are over 10 years old and I barely use my HD598SE ones.
Logan Morgan
Looking for purchasing advice.
>Location
UK.
>Budget
£200~
>Open or closed
Either. I've mostly used closed but would be happy to give open a try.
>Over-ear or on-ear
Over.
>Intended use / Favorite music
General use. Light gaming, movie watching, frequent music listening with a range of genres; lo-fi, rock, j-pop, jazz, ambient, electronic
>Other requirements
Comfortable, detachable cable, preferably with a durable build since I travel a lot.
>Bonus notes
I liked the sound of the M40X and K371 but the former was too fragile (the hinge snapped) and the latter had the cable running through the headband fail on me, leaving me with only the left channel.
Jaxson Green
I'll keep those in mind, they look nice
Idk, at the time I probably wanted to try something new. yaxi aren't bad, you just have to take them off more often to air out.
the KPH40 has inline volume, play/pause, and a mic. I have the usbC one, and it plays well with win 10 and my android ( also very comfy, didn't list them before bc there not over ear.)

Left one says leather free, avoid it unless you want some shitty vegan pleather vs actual leather that lasts longer (fuck cows btw they were made for my enjoyment, fuck vegans too specially jane she has a juicy ass)
Charles Hill
>600ohms headphones
>planars
Atom with apple dongle is better
Blake Scott
You guys reckon this is a good deal?
