are you an audiophile

im recabling $200 iems so i guess

yeah

rehousing*

is it hard to be an audiophile

unless you dont have ears

no

its pretty easy

well, i have these shitty 40$ headphones i found on amazon

and i use them

i have never experienced truely good sound quality

i dont think beats count either

i used beats for ~1 year until they broke

they came with mac

eh new beats aren that awful in terms of sound quality

theyre still bloated as fuck

but for bassy headphones theyre not godawful

ok

theyre just built like shit and are overpriced as fuck

that is true

mine are broken

the casing broke

anyways, i bought these headphones a year ago https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q4KR7JM

and i still use em, theya re really shitty

well i like them i guess

but i know you would probably call it shit teir

the ear muffs came off

they look like BW P7 rip offs lol

so i was looking for something not shit tier under 140$

open or closed?

do you mean over ear or on ear

no

open back

or closed back

does it make a difference

;_;

if youre using them in a noisy environment, yes

no, i use it in quiet environment

so no public use?

no

my home

hmm

i was looking at these: https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-M40x-Professional-Monitor-Headphones

you might still have to go closed since cheaper open backs have fairly heavy low end roll off

m40x arent bad

pretty decent actually

just that the stock pads are shit

oh

you can replace them though

DT250 pads are the go to

i see

though for $140 you can get DT770's for about that

which are built way better and have nice stock pads

though theyre a heavy V-shape tonality wise

what type of music do you listen to?

ummm

i like to listen to classical music, and lots of anime

mostly anime though

oh you wont want 770's then

and weezer

weezer is nice

yeah you probably want something more mid/high focused

not death metal

ill assume you dont have a headphone amp

whats that lol

dont worry

ok

what country are you in?

US

ah

california

sometimes you can get X2's for $100 in EU

but no bueno for US

😦

probably not the best headphone for your music though anyway

ok

might want to ask /hpg/

fill out the form there

can you link me?

http://boards.4chan.org/g/thread/59567562

oh this

i did post there

you could go with SHP9500's actually

though theyre kinda grainy

M40x or MDRV6/7506 are probably your best options

lol, i wont be able to tell the difference

remember ive been using knockoff bw p7's

i cant gauge what nice sound is

animefags like MDR's because theyve got good performance with female vocals

might work for you

hmm

wait did you mean you listen to like weeb music like idolmaster or whatever it is or just for watching anime

uh, its more on the down low

what

both of those on the down low

its primarily music

okay

like, ok go is one band i listen to

are the mx50's any better than mx40's?

no

theyre worse

they are like 50$ more lol

theyre just more sibilant

hmmmmm i think ill look into mbr's

yeah MDR7506 or M40x with DT250 pads are probably your best options

MDR's are built better too

though no removable cable

>no removable cable

no way

m40x's it is then

tbh just solder a 3.5mm jack into the housing

i did that for my old 770's

i dont have a soldering iron 😦

wtf

are you a woman

well, i do

but no solder

lol

lead is like a couple dollars for like 10 meters

shit is cheap

i wonder if i could melt solder from old pc components onto the thing i wanted to solder

no man

bad idea

thats going to such really bad

just melt the solder off

lol

it wont have any flux

and youll get shit solder

unless you have a flux pen

just buy some flux core lead or just flux paste at a hobby shop or something

ok

ill just buy m40x's and try to figure out how to replace the housing

wat

umm

not housing

the pad

the pad yes

its like 1am here lol

im tired

no worries

ok bye bye 😃

thank you

i wonder what i will buy toda

try y

?

are they trying to rip me off

theyre trying to get a sample to clone u

what for

autism testing

well they can have it'

one day you'll meet your clone

if i can deposit it in the vagee of a chink chick

and he'll try and assasinate you and take your place in society

i just found a way to make chink tablet turn on automtacically

just set it to never turn screen off when charging

no lock screen

huh a seller gave me a full refund without any issues

thats a first

meanwhile this seller is still trying to chink me

$2 refund for a $11 product

@transience That's pretty legit though.

1+1 = 2

Fuck I'm funny today.

Wew.

👏

lol

im essentially getting a free IEM cable

i just need to buy some proper connectors

Intel Extreme Masters?

in ear monitor

Didn't know they had (easily) replaceable cables.

good ones do

im gonna be re-housing mine anyway

so i might switch to a MMCX connector or something

By "good ones" I'm assuming all chink shit is out of the question.

nah

my $34 Senfer UEs have removable MMCX

even $7 KZ ZS3's have removable cables

though im using UE TF10's

which are like $200

though i got them for a tenth of that price used

the goyim know

Huh.

Might be worth looking in to then. The damn cords are always the weak spot.

yeah

ill never buy an IEM without removable cables again

not that i intend on buying any again for a while anyway

I do want that 3 button "remote" though. Since I mainly listen on my phone if I ever wear IEMs.

solder one in

or you can buy cables with remotes

Fair enough.

When you said "solder", though... not at all in the realm of comfort anymore. 😄

Buying cables, however, is something I can get behind 100%.

get some ZS3 if you want

an inline mic/button

and removable cable

im getting a second pair to use as a housing

since they fit so damn nice

though really you should learn to solder

is real easy

and saves a ton of money in the long run

Sure.

I've been looking into buying some kit.

its surprisingly cheap

soldering irons from china arent half bad

But whenever I do, I figure "Hey, I really should get a soldering station and [tons of other shit] instead of ChinaChun $1 electrical fire soldering iron!"

kek

Apparently the consensus is to get one of those Yihua stations as an entry level thing.

a basic iron is only about $20 dollarydoos

and lead and flux is dirt cheap

Sure. But a Yihua dealie is what... $40-50? And why wouldn't you get that?

And down that path I go. 😄

Probably not well served in that regard by watching EEVblog and other such channels shit all over the Chinese hobbyist stuff.

this is plenty enough http://www.ebay.com/itm/YIHUA-908-220V-60W-Electric-Adjustable-Soldering-Iron-Station-For-Welding-Rework-/232247846193?hash=item36130ce531:g:vy8AAOSw32lYrCND

you dont need hot air gun stuff

Need... no.

Want... yes.

eh

its pretty useless unless youre doing a lot of surface mount work

And I don't have any reason.

Yeah.

i rarely use it

though that one i linked is 220v so you want a diff one if youre in the US

Thankfully I'm not.

kek

So a chink tablet I bought for my mum

has really shitty wi-fi range

and I know why

the back cover is all made of some thick metal that totally blocks wifi connections

does anyone know what you need to cut metal?

Angle grinder

Or a Dremel with a cutting wheel

or thermalcutter

depends how thick the metal is

if you are not sure.. thermal lance is way to go

or for tastier stuff

bacon lance

-rest goes to <#189467888657235970>

ok maybe i'll just buy a good laptop/tablet wifi antenna instead

anyone who knows any who works great?

lapbook

chuwi 14.1

website fucked?

browsing banggood now, so does it only sell higher quality shit?

it seems like

why do you think that

they all belong to 1 superdealer

Banggood's a decent site yeah

what do they belong to
