His headphones don’t have a good soundstage

Just buy ATH-M50X like everyone else.

Sennhieser are the best.

Steelseries are trash that stop working after 6 months and is just a brand.

none of you even know what "soundstage" means

Soundstage is my middle name

58x

Sennheiser aren't good until you're hitting HD600 and up

I've been using my HD558's for 6-7 years or so by now, they're nice

>M50X
I think you wanted to say M40X there buddy.

I still have no idea why people love the HD600s so much. They're as open as possible but they're not comfortable and the soundstage is tiny. Everything is squarely inside your head.

Is sounstage anything but snake oil?
Positional cues come from specific frequency patterns and stereo offsets, you don't need the headphones to do that for you if the software already does.

Oh I know, personally the only Sennheiser I would consider now is the HD800. I have the 598 and they are massively overrated. It sounds like listening through a sock, and apparently they have good soundtsage compared to the 600/650

>soundstage on headphones
things that dont exist.
speakers or GTFO

speakers don't muffle ambient sounds

Koss Portapros with Yaxi earpads.

Heaven forbid someone like both

Never used them. I imagine they're the same thing except with shittier build quality because honestly there's only so much product segmentation you can actually do with headphones. But normal people should just go with the M50X because it's been good forever.

Based and /thread.

Sennheiser 58x Jubilee, although you're gonna need an amp to drive more power into them as they have a high amperture

HD595s. AT M40x/M50x clamp down hard on your head since they're meant to be closed, meaning you need to buy velour or sheepskin pads if you want to wear them for long periods of time. 595's sound great and are comfortable due to open design, but are less bassy than 595's. Neither of them need an amp.

The sound is known to be better though. Most people won't care because they think bass quantity = sound quality but, from an actual neutral tone the 40x are better.

It isn't, but the way it's bandied about as a marketing term is usually misleading. And it's absolutely true that DSP can create a 3D soundstage regardless of the hardware.

Basically, listen to some music with vocals with no 3D soundstage effects with your eyes closed. Do you feel that the voice is coming from inside your head, or do you feel like the voice is coming from outside? That's soundstage.

For me, I didn't really notice the difference until I got a pair of decent speakers, which made listening to headphones very annoying. I had Sennheiser HD-25s and V-Moda XSes, tried out HD598s and HD650s, and all of them had the same "problem." I got some very large, very open planar magnetics, and those were the first set of headphones that gave me the impression that the sound wasn't emanating from inside my head.

They're literally almost the same, but the M50X have boosted bass at the cost of highs and costs more. They both have shitty ear cups and that top cushion that goes flat as a board after a year of use. Most comparison videos would tell you to get M40X because the sound is more balanced.

Still using the best headphones ever produced
