just do Option B in your very last screenshot. at least you can just buy a brand new unit rather than sending it into the shop and getting it repaired

“just buy the ie600 and plug it straight into your computer’s headphone jack. move on and enjoy the music. don’t waste another second reading about audio gear”

seems to me that that is the official philips store on aliexpress, so i think it’s legit

well apparently the hd6xx for $200 was once a steal, but it ended up being $500 when you consider the schiit stack, cables, shipping, and tax.

HD820. only $200 off though. not the biggest discount but i am so excited

what did you do? go absolutely apeshit over someone for liking the Clear MG over the Clear OG?

All Too Well (10 minute version)

friend: hello, my audiophile friend. any recommendation for a headphone under $500 for music and movies on my home computer?

you: i don’t fucking know. just google it

first he came for our guns and now he came for our headphones. wake up, america

TRUMP2024

omg. you actually listened to the hd820 and didn’t just post the circlejerk opinion about that headphone.

dx7 pro. all you will ever need unless you susvara

well it feels like cheap plastic, but that cheap plastic is lightweight and rarely breaks.

lol?

there was once a time when i started calling crinacle overrated and that people should stop looking up to him as the audiophile god, but nowadays, crinacle really is the best “mainstream” audiophile guy that we got. there are probably a few more but are lesser known and has much less subs and therefore, much less influence.

PLEASE DO NOT BUY BASED OFF OF ANY RECOMMENDATION THAT WAS GIVEN TO YOU BUY A PERSON PRVILEDGED YOUTUBER WHO GOT A REVIEW UNIT

they are my daily drivers because they are light, durable, and makes sure that i don’t get too used to actual hifi audio so when i am going for a music/movie session, i can switch to my hifiman arya and remind myself what real audio is
