The worst part is he's right
define break the bank
<= $50
ausbux?
not asking for the best sound in the world, just something worth the price
yeah ausbux
open or closed?
brb not sure what the difference is
open means you can hear everything around you and sound will leak out
hd668b / hd681
are closed more expensive ?
yes usually
not inherrently
^
preferably closed then but its not a deal breaker
closed backs are outperformed by iems tho at almost all price points
ya sadly that too
cop carbo tenore :^)
well thats no good then whats the point
whats the point of spending money on closed over ears if you can just get iems that sound better
closed headphones are probably more comfortable than iems for some people
a lot of people dont like having silicone shoved in their earhole
true that, that's one of the main reasons im looking for a pair of over ears
also a lot of people immediately assume bigger = better, and iems shouldnt have as much spent on them as fullsize headphones
there isnt really a lot of good cheap closed backs tho unfortunately
CAL is above your pricerange too
Out of the hd668b and hd681 which one would you recommend?
681 is closer to neutral and is more comfy because it doesnt have the weird wing things
has less midbass tho
neither are comfy without a pad swap
What sort of pads?
sorry for the endless questions
k240 pads are the cheapest but you'll lose even more bass from an already rolled off headphone
the other option are some chinese pads for the audiotechnica art series
i have a pair on my a500x and they fit the superlux with some stretching
and theyre quite soft too
theyre not super cheap tho
hmmm trying to stick as budget as possible, I might cop the 681's and just deal with the pads for a while, they may fit my ears fine who knows
Ali the cheapest place to get them?
