Alright, then get Samson SR850's and a Modmic Uni and a Y Converter.
GG, you have a headset that has a better mic than 90% of headsets and better audio quality than 99.99% of headsets.
https://www.amazon.com/Kingtop-Adapter-Tablet-Headsets-Version/dp/B01I3A47I4/ref=pd_sbs_1 is what you would want to plug into the console with.
Trust me, the ModMic Uni is an amazing mic overall, better than basically any of the headset mics out there.
And the Samson SR850's are super comfortable and will self-adjust to your head when you put them on.
They are essentially a budget pair of AKG headphones.

Cholax, the main issue is the general conciousness of the average person can't tell the difference between 60 and 120

HD 598's are a bit expensive, HD 558;s are a good substitute if you can't find a pair of 598's at a cheap price.

Ok do you know any headphones that are between 80 and 100 because I’m just gonna get some for the pc I’ll use my current headset for the ps4
thorn grove

sly warren
Maybe your ears are just broken

tight pulsar

sly warren
And I think he wants something that isn't built like a child's maraca
timber ridge
Why TF would you suggest porta pros?
bc porta pros can compete with cans at that price?
shrewd yacht
?
sly warren
I'll keep saying Samson SR850's. But, if you want some in-ear monitors, then KZ ZS10 Pros are a good option also.
If you can find a deal on some Sennheiser headphones, then i'd get them.

au contraire, mon freur

honestly, i would do cb1s for headphones, blon 05s for iems

Are the audio technica ath m40x good?
timber ridge
m40x with modded pads are op
west hornet
wait the treble on the 6xx is hurting you?
swift lantern
it was yeah
west hornet
i found the 6xx to be a much warmer headphone, the tin t2's had a lot more treble than the 6xxs to my ears
swift lantern
at the super high volume I usually listen to
west hornet
don't damage your ears lol
swift lantern
with bass switch on, mind you
the detail was just.. bad
Turns out ChiFi wins this round
shrewd yacht
What do you mean by modded pads?
thorn grove
i want to try 6xx sometime
timber ridge
ear pads
west hornet
nice theo
west hornet
basshead smh, just get pair of porta pros and call it a day xD
sly warren
Whoa wait a second...

Uhh shp9600
sly warren
Do the HD 598's use the same earpads as the Game Ones?
sly warren
Apparently the earpads for my HD 558's are doing the big die
tacit wing
let the ear burn-in settle in, i wouldnt trust first impressions very much @swift lantern
sly warren
So, I was wondering if there were replacements out there.
sly warren
And apparently Dekoni says the HD 598 pads are the same as the HD 558 pads
west hornet
true, first impressions aren't best. i usually give it a week to really decide on something
swift lantern
Phantom just has objectively better resolution
I'll hold off on selling them at least but
NOT a good first impression'
tacit wing
well youre comparing planars to dynamics
sly warren
It's Fiddy Bux to get Dekoni pads for my aging HD 558's though...
Is it worth fiddy bux?
west hornet
i must be polar opposite, i found 6xx bass to start to lean on being a bit much for me in some songs haha
west hornet
sly warren
swift lantern
get 990 pros
west hornet
reminds me i had this arduino like thing once before and i swore i heard it ticking. thankfully no kaboom
sly warren
He'll be throwing them in the bin faster than you can say RIP
sly warren
Both the 6xx's and phantoms?
swift lantern
oh yeah
sly warren
Are you saying you should have just bought HE-400i 2020's?
swift lantern
for the average human being, probably
shrewd yacht
Does anyone have any recommendations for ear pads for the m40x’s
tacit wing
i mean if the 6xx isnt for you, Sennheiser isnt for you in general
swift lantern
tacit wing
Does anyone have any recommendations for ear pads for the m40x’s

west hornet
lol i saw a pair of beats pro before, they were shaking the desk with the bass
swift lantern
I wish I could actually contact Thieaudio
I mean I've gotta be one of their like what, couple hundred customers?
audiophile communities are pretty small man
shrewd yacht
But are them the “correct” ones
swift lantern
I'm thinking part of the equation must be that the phantoms have drivers that are literally more than twice as large
tacit wing
Kuzu, that one night you said that you think neutral is boring and you liked sub-bass i knew for a fact that the 6xx wasnt for you
idk what attracted you to them initially
west hornet
lol
swift lantern
literally everyone, ever, says the 6xx are good
west hornet
what are extremely bassy headphones anyway
tacit wing
99 noirs
west hornet
only thing that comes to mind to me is beats pro but those are terrible xD
tight pulsar
i mean one one hand yeah a lot of people like them but on the other if you dont like a neutral headphones they probably arent for you lol
normal barn

Get some cheap 30$ bengoo gaming headset and u will know
swift lantern
yeah but I mean literally EVERYONE
west hornet
oh i've heard bass before in some gaming headsets but that was terrible bass. extremely muddy
sounded like i was listening to a sine wave at 10hz
timber ridge
rip kuzu
west hornet
ahh my vr tracking glitch is now tripping me up irl
swift lantern
and it was also that I was like, willing to give them a try
right like I thought "oh well as long as they have that extra detail I could sacrifice some sub-bass"
and here they are, lacking in BOTH
timber ridge
zen can might be able to fix tht
swift lantern
phantoms sounded better out the box
and that's not even with a balanced cable
so it's like.. idk
I guess for $150 more you certainly would hope they'd be better
tight pulsar
phantoms are like 400 right
tight pulsar
🤔 where did you happen to get them again
swift lantern
ebay
tight pulsar
the only ones on there rn are like 330 :/
west hornet
if you search a bit there are some decent marketplaces on reddit or discord servers
tight pulsar
can somebody dm me his server lol
west hornet
dino can
tacit wing
lol
timber ridge
nachos is gonna have 2 hobbies where he can splurge money on now lol
swift lantern
cuz they got that good bass if I squish them against my ears
tight pulsar
i have a few already
swift lantern
that's not sustainable tho
west hornet
the hobbies only add up 😦
tacit wing
yes

if i have a vga monitor how would i make it plug into my laptop that has hdmi
timber ridge
youre not gonna try them with a better amp?
swift lantern
NO
thorn grove
swift lantern
if they need a better amp to make them actually good then they're trash to begin with
west hornet
lol theo taking a peak
swift lantern
west hornet
if i have a vga monitor how would i make it plug into my laptop that has hdmi
vga to adapter i suppose
sly warren
You'd need something like a Retrotink
Because HDMI to VGA Adapters traditionally are the suck
elder current
wait so i need hdmi to vga not vga to hdmi??
stoic solar
Because HDMI to VGA Adapters traditionally are the suck
thye work
sly warren
Well, you need an adapter that takes the HDMI Output and converts it to the Analog VGA Signal.
thorn grove
stoic solar
i have exclusively used passive $10 adapters and they look fine
elder current
