I swear this video is a study of depression, not a product video

xD

"xD"

@Deleted User if you want a supremely comfy pair of cans for monitoring, slap these https://www.ebay.com/itm/2Pcs-Replacement-Ear-Pads-Cushion-Soft-Cover-for-ATH-AD1000X-100-Headphone-Black/252425739081 onto a HD681 (not EVO)

i got these pads today for my a500x

really gud

they are same i guess?

yeah

cheaper on egay tho

ive been noticing that with a lot of headphone pads lately

like almost all are cheaper on ebay

y simple chink parts sometimes are cheaper in ebay

i dont know

bigger market i guess?

maybe alibaba takes more profit or something

nah ebay has more fees

HD668B

For real though, HD668B, ask me how I know

what

i'm back pewdiepie

Better cans for your buck, bud.

uh okay

can you tell us something we dont know

like where to buy zuk z2 for $150 <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

Zuk Z2: Eiaosi Edition

I'll sell you a zuk z2 for $150. 😂

>fall for chink audio meme and order bluedio 4s off Aliexpress
>comes from amazon prime

Fucking china

<:chink:323022148870602752>

I dont even have my bluetooth adapter for my ipod classic yet. Shit

>not getting velvet pads

WHAT

link to velvet pads

just google it my bude

if youre looking for superlux pads append "k240" to the end of whatever pads youre looking for

though i remember in one zeos video he did some hacky goatse shit to get a pad to fit very securely to the headphone

most likely causing irreversable damage to the vinyl part of the headphone, but generic velvet/velour earpads are cheap

even generic hm5 pads are cheap

thanks, now ill order htem next time i order garbage from banggood

@Iren Masot 681 is better than the 668b

Looking for some comfy over ears for general home use

Would like a semi open or open

Chink shit recommendations?

681 + the pads i linked comfy

668b vs 681, differences

?

668b is midbassier and has more treble peak

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/243448552313847808/380137711438266379/output.png

better extension from the 681 too

looks bretty comfy

they're $24 if I use all my chinkpoints

including pads?

because the stock pads are dog shit

no

unfortunately

if you dont wanna spend that much on pads you can get velour K240 pads

but bass extension wont be as good

26.30 if I want fast shipping 🤔

wait the 681's went up in price

they were like 25AUD last night

What is the pad size? I've got some SteelSeries velour ones

like 100mm at minimum

take a pic of yours

are they round or oval?

dont have 681's atm

round

i have 668b's tho which are the same size

cept i have no fucking phone to take a picture still

I like a little bit of bass in the mids

Just a touch

Should I go for 668🅱s

get pleather pads then

eh nah

668b's have worse extension and the treble is sharper

Could you recommend me some pads off Ali?

Or some other site?

ATH-1000x pads fit right

do you have a ath-1000x laying around?

no

the pads i linked comfy are cheaper on ebay from what ive seen

just for pad compatibility

they fit my a500x

which are the same size as a 1000x

do they fit the 681 tho

yes

the a500x is bigger

they fit on my empty 668b housing

empty <:hyperthonk:327934332545007617>

i pulled the drivers out and used the baffles for some other shit

Yeah, last time I looked 668b edged ahead among enthusiasts; they must have changed something in the last few years @HEKTIK

they didnt

people just liked midbass

whats some good earbuds that are like the KZ ZS5 v1? high treble

People were talking up the treble response, calling them more 'accurate'. On Head-Fi, back in... 2012, I want to say? Been a while.

headfi is retarded

@Lt.Luftwaffles ZST measures like a ZS5v1

Well, I checked around other review sites like audio blogs, Amazon reviews, etc. Most said the same, so that's what I went with my man. :/

probably the same retards who own dt990's or k7xx's

668b is not bad

was my first chi-fi about 8 years ago

pleather pads is shit tho

i added akg k702 pads and were great until i upgraded to dt880

8 years? Shit

>681 review from 2010
Fuck, has it been that long? 681 was nasty dance club garbage back then; 668 was acknowledged as the much better studio monitor variant. Things must have changed.

668b isnt bad, theyre just not as good as the 681 tonally

tyll's measures reflect that too

i had my 668b for a while and still liked em

its an amazing deal

paid $50 at the time

pads were $30 lol

then sold the combo for $100 after 2 years of use

wtf

what pads lol

akgs

velour pads

aren't ES3s basically the same as ZSTs

according to your graphs

no

wot

did u even see the grafs

ya

maybe am i smokin dicks

es3 had more bass and less treble

where they at

the graphs?

your blog

lemme look 1 sec

no zst graph on blog

WOW

-1, bad seller

nobody cares about your opinion, we all just want to compare curves B)

ES3 https://puu.sh/xUquL/47c1f77f64.png

ZST https://puu.sh/xoPrp/9b17572a9b.png

10db scale on zst

i assume they have the same scale

forgot to cap that for some reason

yea

wait wtf

these aren't even in the right dementionsia

wot u mean

i wanted to compare it by putting them on top of each other in photoshop but the ratios dont even match

o lol

yeah this was back when i was a retard and just screencapped rather than using the actual save function in arta

i cropped out the edges

8)

now i'm more confused

blue is es3

whats confusing

its just LOUDER

shape of 🅱 is slightly different

nah the 0 mark on the zst wouldve just been higher scrolled

i dont measure at a precise volume anyway

im a shit objectivist

but it doesnt really matter

so fuck you

pretty much

fuck hektik smfh

>24 bit is placebo

i guess for archiving purposes is ok

for archival you should have your own cds

nah CD's suck for archival

good tape is more reliable lol

really?

cd's have coatings that ruin over time

long term archival tapes are designed for super long term archival

not talking cassettes here lol

i mostly archive in exterrnal hard drive, but in a way since tape is analog is prone to mechanical failure? Well it makes sence if for strict archival

hard drives are fine if you backup and shit

just standard compact discs arent

what about the cloud 🤔

I know old laserdiscs are slowly dying of disc rot over time, can see CDs going the same way

if I make ISOs of my old CDs and upload them to the cloud, do I have the ultimate meme backup system?

probably

yea cds are quite bad, i remember when my ps2 dvds got scratched from nothing

I've got unlimited OneDrive so I'mma do that with my music collection when the NBN arrives

100GB of music on the cloud here I come lol

cloud you have to give in to the cloud jew.... i mean is not that expensive but still

nice

it's free for me

i hate streaming

in that case you are cool

shit sux

@HEKTIK CloudPlayer for Android is a meme

but isnt in australia internet connection bad?

most of australia is shit

idk if the meme is real or not

you connect OneDrive/Google Drive/etc to it and stream your mp3s and flacs with full bitrate from the cloud

NBN is rolling out and isnt trash for a lot of people

its comfy as fuck

still no fucking nbn here

it's been installed for me

just waiting for iinet to realise

lol

oh yeah the pixel 2 USB-C to 3.5 dongle is out and measures really well for like $12

gonna be my new portable dac/amp

in general cloud playing is cool for convenience... but nothing beats files

USB-C

>lol

i dont even have a USB C device

just gonna convert that bitch

can you use it with USBC to MicroUSB adapter?

i dont see why not

and convenience for mainstream shit... animu music is basically torrenting

RIP

yeah

I downloaded 60GB of Eurobeat

can't find it on TPB

or Soulseek

it was on some fucking obscure initial d forum and uploaded to MEGA

thats quite a lot... i got a 5GB file and that was quite a lot for the time i searched

Mentioning playing on portable, i still consider apple tablets best for music quality. My Samsung S6 is quite dissapointing

a lot of apple shit has a high output impedance

which makes them virtually worthless

in which sence? I am curious

I might buy an Essential Phone if the Redmi Note 5 is disappointing

what do you mean in what "sence"

then I will get a fucking P2 USB-C to 3.5mm

of the impedance relating sound quality.

high output impedance fucks up the FR of anything with a low enough impedance and significant enough impedance curve

ahhhh

essentially

push too much power in

and it fucks up the fr
