i’m over here with a pair of airpod pros and some studio monitor speakers, and a few other speakers and i thought i’d overdone it a bit, now i have a new level of insane to aspire to

ily dank. You convinced me to buy those samson sr850s, and made me realize what I had been missing listening to music with my old crappy headphones.

Loved both the patreon and main video! I've had the krakens for a while and seeing somebody but the sound into words was pretty surreal, especially as before I got a decent pair of headphones that was all I had. Very interesting!

im using some very custom porta pros rn and they are lovely, trying to get my hands on a pair of suns for cheap but the used market is awful rn i run my porta pros with the ksc75 ear clips and yaxi pads which help a lot with comfort and soon im going to mod on an mmcx cable and make some balanced cables for the memes https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/j4k6m2/i_got_some_porta_pros_the_other_day_i_liked_them/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Both great videos, I own the Razers and I love em, I'll have to disagree with 7.1 though. Its physically impossible to push 7.1 through a 2.0 headphone jack, the "7.1" you're hearing is just clever programing and a marketing gimmic. Look up the barbershop on youtube and ull get an idea of what they are doing. If anyone thinks i'm wrong please let me know, I don't wanna be spitting bad facts.

I'm thinking about getting some shure srh1540 cans. I've got some dt770 80 ohms which I like but need a tad more mid presence, Meze 99 Noir which are fun but too much bass, and akg k371 which are detailed but a bit harsh and not comfortable for me. Hoping the shures are the ticket.

i wonder if the sr60s are any good for mixing? looking for an open back pair under $100 for mixing when i can't use speakers, k240s (the cheaper "studio" ones lol) were also on my radar

Great video this week, but you missed a couple of the big bois. The senheiser pc37x (or whatever the non-drop equivalent is) has always been my go to recommendation. Other than that awesome though. Love the new mic.

If you ever end up looking at budget headphones you should try the Koss KSC75 (though I don't how cheap they are with Australian pricing).

Really loved this weeks vid with the gaming headphones; my Arctis 3 works really well for me personally. But my friends still complain the mic on it isn’t very good, or as good as my older plantronics headset. I’d love to see some kind of follow up vid in the future where you try to pair good stand alone mics with audiophile headphones that are decent for gaming and listening as well. Cheers.

on your main channel video listening to the arctis 5 test through arctis 5's might be the most pointless thing youve ever made me do. these are my daily drivers on my pc haha. i have some senns and (sorry) beats that i got for a really good price so thats my excuse haha.

Love how many pairs of headphones you have, because I've always thought my hoard of headphones was bad... I have about 10 pairs. What we do for the love of music, my friend.

Commenting here instead of YT so my comment isn't drowned out. I've had Arctis 5's for about 8 months now. The built in DAC for the USB audio just isn't very good. I have a mediocre Soundblaster sound card, and there's a noticeable difference in quality, PARTICULARLY with the microphone. Going through a decent DAC, the Microphone actually sounds fantastic. All of the tinniness is gone, it actually sounds like a proper microphone. I could provide a sample if you're curious. My old headset though was probably my favorite, an Audio Technica ATH-PDG1. Got em for $90, they're open back and share the same platform as another one of AT's proper headphones, can't recall which one though. Unfortunately the 3.5mm jack died and the store was out of stock, so I warranty exchanged them for the Arctis.

I'm not sure if the Arctis 3 has USB audio, but try using a separate USB dac/sound card. Significantly improved mic quality. I'm just using a $50 Soundblaster X.

I just ordered a pair of Samson SR850's then cried when i saw them on the noob rack :( xD

We use those Audio Technicas for QAing video at work and I completely agree. They sound pretty dang good, but the build is so disappointing. Considering what they go for, the squeak factor is mental

TBH I really liked your headphone reviews, the mic tests where the best >__<' but yeah probs going to track down some DT 770 pros now just got to wait for the new mixer to come in so I can find out what the max ohms the por thing can push.

My father passed away earlier today. After the funeral and all of that I pick up my phone and will you look at that, a new dankpods video! Mate, even in one of my darkest days, you still manage to get a laugh or two out of me. If for that alone, your channel is worth every penny I could ever put in support. Thanks, Wade.

Good to see the Samsons at the top of the "not quite god tier" rack. I've had the pleasure of listening to a few of the cans you have on the god rack (my cousin mixes professionally and has a small collection) and I get why the Samsons aren't on there for sure, it's a canal of difference, but for the price the Samsons are godly cans in their own right.

I got a pair of Grado SR325e. Absolutely most uncomfortable headphones I’ve worn in a while. But brilliant sound. I went out and bought super big earcups and now they work brilliant. They deserve to be one level higher, but I understand because they are expensive ($300 usd).

oh god after watching this i've decided that I need more headphones, my Senny 598SRs and 380Pros aren't enough. Time to run out of money lol

Used to have the AT M50x, but pretty much what you said, they sound amazing, but they get squeaky as hell. I now have Bose Headphone 700s since I'm on trains most of the time nowadays, and those just completely kill the background noise of the train (id say those are only worth it if you can get a large discount on them, they are not worth their MSRP)

And thinking that I’m happy for just having 2 pairs of average but good headphones and a dirtbud 😂

I went on the hunt for some better headphones after seeing some of your headphone related vids but there weren't a whole lot of popular options here in NZ, at least not the prices I wanted. Ended up with a pair of Grado SR 80i's and Bang & Olufsen H6 Gen 1's for cheap. Still pretty new to it all but they're working well. Just started on custom cables for them too.

Honestly with you on the PortaPros, I had a pair in college which I got for under £30 and really liked them but not enough to stick with them for more than a few years and these days Koss want over £50 for them which is crazy when you can get so much better for that money now.

I have the Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless, and one thing I notice with them is, they creak, like a door at your nan's. They sound good when you configure your EQ, and they sound great and a lot more features then the Arctis 5, but hey, became a patreon today, so your welcome :)

My daily driver headphones I've had since mid 2016 are a set of AKG K240s (not made in Austria though, and only the 55ohm version), and I really like how they sound for most things. Only problem I've noticed with them (which I think has developed in the past few years) is that anything super bassy turned up loud starts rattling the drivers a little bit. Anything Portishead is a prime candidate to start rattling the headphones, lol

Anonymous

Nice! This is the only channel I always come to see the after show on patreon! Looking forward to the stax review ;)

Love seeing the collection here, and I'm really thinking about getting the Grado SR60s. Actually, it's because of you that I got my hands on the Samson SR850s, and I am so glad I did. They're the best headphones I've owned so far, and I can't go back to using cheap PC headsets anymore because of them. They're also the only headset I've ever wanted to use with my portable minidisc players (normally I just use JBL Live 100s). I wish I had found your channel sooner; even though I'm not an iPod user, I find your videos really interesting and entertaining. You have some great reviews, and they are always cracking me up.

i use the AT M40x a lot (mostly for playing bass cause its really good sounding) but I have the same complaint as you for the M50 :/ hopefully i can upgrade soon! great work with the vids

Where do u get most of these (im tryna get myself a pair of HD SIXHUNDOS) ive always loved listening to music and i realllyyy wanna get into headphones and stuff!

Regarding the headset video, if you happen to do a sequel or something, i recommend checking out the Logitech g935's, I've had em for a while now and as far as my audio newbie ears can tell, they sound pretty damn good. the mic is passable by all means, and they definitely have that bass hump, but there's detail i can hear with these that i cant with my Sony MDR-XB950B1's, which granted, theyre obviously bass focused, but they were about the same price regardless.

Yo Dank, you should check out the Massdrop x Sennheiser HD6XX. I suspect there may be a reason they are cheaper than the OG's

I’m surprised you haven’t done a vid on the Bose Quite Comfort 35s (2) wireless and wired audio

I own the k712pro's and I have opted out of leaving it hanging with the elastic strap like you do with your favourite ones. It can deteriorate the elastic material and can cause loose fitting headphones. Just something to think about, I guess. Love the vids!

yaxi pads tame the bass and improve the soundstaging and comfort of the portapros. You should do a whole video devoted to them. Just make sure you're thorough and even if you don't like them you'll earn tons of headphone cred

I would recommend the Grados. I went from E10K + M50x --> E10K + SR80e and they sound absolutely wonderful! I'm biased towards open-back though but that's my two cents.

I got the fiio and the Grados and I love the combination of them. Just keep in mind if you want to fully experience it you'll have to plug the fiio into your phone thru a usbc cable. The Bluetooth does work great and thats how i use it most the time.

Thank you so much for all your content. I've always been the guy who whenever I saw a new pair of headphones always wanted to try them on. I thought I was just weird. Before watching your videos I didn't know critical listening was a hobby. I didn't know that was a thing people did. Now that I know, I've bought the HyoerX cloud IIs you recommended and I have a nice pair of sennies I got for 20 dollarie doos off eBay. Also, I lucked out and my new phone (LG Stylo) has a 32 bit DAC. So, high-end audio and critical listening is going to be my new hobby.

Have you ever tried the Koss KPH30i They're slightly cheaper than the porta pros, but newer with different drivers, a plastic headband that actually locks, and many who have used them prefer them over the porta pros. The sound is more mature and balanced than the porta pros which get most of the credit.

respectful disagree on the portapros! i'm no audiophile, just a broke music teacher in training, but they sound great to me, decently comparable with the dt770s i use at home and more comfortable than my sr850s. i see them less as headphones and more as earbuds for people who hate earbuds, and for hiking or city walking they're just perfect. i'm with you on the build quality but once they're on my head i can't complain. plus i love the 80s vibe lol

Anonymous
>>52845304

That “earbuds for people who hate earbuds” description perfectly sums up why I like them so much too, just so much more comfortable for while I’m at work. Never had an issue with the headband once they’re on, and they’re so light you almost forget they’re on your head.
