What Are You Thinking? Howdy Partner Fiddle Saddle Spurs Beer Girls Trucks edit. - General

Typically audio nerds complain of the ATH-M50 headphones having recessed mids, so that's probably a safe bet if you don't wanna deal with a software EQ.

[QUOTE=azure 505;48255945]look at the frequency response curve of your headphones[/QUOTE] How would I do that?

[QUOTE=azure 505;48255945]Do whatever sounds best to you in general, but if you're looking to get accurate sound look at the frequency response curve of your headphones, and boost what's lower. If your headphones are like mine, probably the mids. Now if you want it as accurate as possible, you're gonna want to use an EQ for that. Amp is more than enough for most people though.[/QUOTE] i dropped a decent amount of money on these headphones (ATH-M50x) and i don't wanna be putting the quality to waste so i'm willing to do whatever to know i'm getting the most out of them [QUOTE=Daemon White;48255953]Is there an EQ you could play around with on your computer while leaving the AMP on neutral?[/QUOTE] i don't think i've got an EQ anywhere which sucks, i was just looking for one earlier [editline]20th July 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=azure 505;48255955]Typically audio nerds complain of the ATH-M50 headphones having recessed mids, so that's probably a safe bet if you don't wanna deal with a software EQ.[/QUOTE] yeah it sounds really nice with the boosted mids, i figure it has to do partly with the type of things i'm listening to though so i'd assume it's a case by case thing

[QUOTE=Daemon White;48255962]How would I do that?[/QUOTE] There's a bunch of nerds out there that measure it with specialized equipment and post the graphs all over, although it's tough to say which ones are the most accurate. Varies slightly between individual headphones and ~supposedly~ they change over time as your headphones "break in". For a basic idea of it though you can just check what comes up on Google images.

tbh i'm very much not a super audio nerd i'm just scared i'm wasting my money by not getting the best quality out of these things

[QUOTE=TheBrokenHobo;48255988]tbh i'm very much not a super audio nerd i'm just scared i'm wasting my money by not getting the best quality out of these things[/QUOTE] how i feel with every purchase of any kind of electrical gear ever

Fun stuff!!

Which is actually fine for me because too much treble is unpleasant for me.

I know nothing about audio, but that's been a good rule of thumb for me to follow.

[QUOTE=elevate;48256013]At least to me, that's probably a sign that it's all bullshit.[/QUOTE] Yeah, a lot of it is. The one thing that really confused me was the "burn in" time people talk about when you get a new pair of headphones. Apparently you're supposed to break them in by playing pink noise through them for like 12 hours straight and it makes them sound better?? I never found any actual evidence that "breaking in" was anything other than people getting used to the sound of their headphones.

Unfortunately this happens to almost all of us.

I managed to flip my sleeping pattern off track and got it back on track. But now I'm getting it fucked again. I need to sleep better and harder.

my team's kicker in madden failed to be clutch and lost me a super bowl yaaay :(

So I heard a ruckus upstairs, and I went to investigate to find that my father's terrier had caught and killed a flying squirrel who'd gotten into the house. For some reason I'm freaking out right now. It was certainly unpleasant, but I feel like I'm much more disturbed than I should be about it. Last night I actually guessed there was a flying squirrel in the house. They've come in before, and I could hear him running around in the walls. I searched with a flashlight for a while, but never found him.

Poor squirrel :c
