there is the HD598 and the HD650 that are on sale. I need them for games and electronic music, i would also prefer to be able to use them directly on the PC. I do have an amplifier, but its making a slight noise when connected to power, so i kind of dont want to use it -.- Also, i have to wear glasses, ive had bad experiences with non inear in the past. is the HD 598 good enough? any other recommendations? the Philips Fidelio X2 look good, seems like in the middle between the other 2 but they look they they hate glasses wearers got a 598 for now | ||

does anyone here have any experience with AKG K92 or 52? I'm thinking about buying K92, but a lot of reviews say that K52 are surprisingly good so i'm not sure if it's worth to invest into K92. Speaking of K92, does anyone also have experience with using them with mobile phones (currently i have samsung s4 mini, but i plan on upgrading to oneplus 3T or oneplus 4 - depending on the money situation). Another thing i'm interested in is how much the sound bleed? To be more precise, i do not live alone and there's always somebody in the same room with me so i'm wondering how much loud are they/ the person in the same room will be able to hear what i'm listening to. I plan on using them for music/games in my room, but also for travelling somewhere/to work (despite ugly gold colour). And on a completely unrelated note, does anyone have experience with Speed Link SPES clip-on microphone? How much of background noise does it pick up (interested for the aformentioned reasons). Thank you | ||

I wear glasses btw and they never get in the way. | ||

Zeos on reddit has a thread for recommended DAC/AMPs and he lists: Chord Mojo Oppo HA-2SE Ifi iDSD Micro as portable. Which of these would be best suited for such a task? I'm likely going to buy Aune X1s for use with my PC but I still spend a lot of my time commuting between places via train, so something portable would be nice to go with BeyerDynamic DT 1770 PROs. | ||

I have to use IEM, as having something above my head makes me have massive neckproblems (dunno why). Any recommendations for a budget for around 5-700$? I wanna just go with bose again, but it seems they got some good competition now. Wireless is also an option, I like the wireless necklace. Sony wf 1000X is something I'm considering. Usages: Gaming (cs mostly), but a decent mic is important (bose qc20 was more then good enough) Telephone A little bit of music. I do not want a flat bass like I feel some sennheiser headsets have given me. | ||

Quite happy with mine, comfortable for sure. | ||

 To my question: I want to know if there are open/closed headphonesthat can be converted to a closed/open one for traveling / commute / work. I am currently use a Sennheiser PC360 when I am on my PC, which is an open headset with great sound and very comfortable and would like something similar. When traveling / commute I currently use some Inears which are ok, but the cable starts to die. I also dont like to be fully sealed off when walking through the city because of safety reasons so I only wear one Inear at a time. An open headset would allow me to enjoy stereo while still being able to hear my surroundigns well enough. Problem with open headphones is they are not suiteable for the train because people that listen to loud music on the train, especially on the morning commute have forfeit the social contract and should be strangled with their headphones they dont use.I dont want to carry around 2 pairs of headphones though. Pretty much the same goes for being at work. Since my Inears are starting to die it would be a good opportunity to replace them and I already looked around a bit but without any success. Does anyone know about some open headphones that maybe come with some sort of noise canceling backplates that you could use to close of the outer part of the speakers? In terms of price range anything goes up to 200€ if nececary, though I am propably more eyeballing aroud the 90-150€ range since it seems more reasonable. | ||
