ATH AD500X, super lightweight, I cna wear them all day and soundstage for days.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Headphones under 250$ with good soundstage, primarily for single-player gaming. ->Planars are great. But if gaming is your main criteria, stick with dynamic drivers. Beyerdynamic 9 series (900 pro X, 990 pro, 1990 pro) Sennheiser 600 series ( hd600, 650, 660, 660s, 660s2, and including the 490pro) and 500 series ( hd560s is one of the most recommended options for gaming around here), Some of the audio technica ath-ad models. Specifically for competitive fps games, these are pretty much the best options out there at reasonable prices. Adding an amp like the Fiio k5 you mentioned is also a good idea with most of these. I personally like Sennheiser more because I listen to more music than I play video games, but I occasionally get called a cheater in r6 with my old hd600 + Fiio k11. If you don’t care about music or other media, the beyers should technically be even better.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Best gaming headphones that doesn't need amp ->Ironically Sundara closed. I also adore my ad500x.
r/headphones • What's your perfect pair of headphones? ->Para estar atento a eso. Por cierto, buena descripción, natural, no como copia de youtuber que promociona. También los tengo y me encantan, para Fps fueron los mejores que usé, para música coincido en que son súper dinámicos y (para mí) hasta divertidos. También tengo los K702, los KSC75, los Kz Pr2 y los AD500x que fueron mi primeros audífonos buenos y aguanté (gracias a que son hermosos en todos los sentidos) 4 años la picazón de comprar otros. También tuve un tiempito los HE400SE SM.
r/headphones • Audio-Technica R50x: something that ruined closed-backs for me. ->AD500X o R50X. De los que tuve o tengo, los mejores (para PUBG).
r/headphones • What are some good cheap headphones for gaming? (Specifically rainbow 6 siege) ->I do use ATH-AD500x and can't be more satisfied. Great for games and music.
r/TIdaL • What Headphones would you guys recommend? ->In order from top to bottom, from left to right. - a Toshiba I don't know the model. They sound close, the midrange is a bit harsh for sensitive people. - victor BE, their sound is a bit dark so I changed the silver-plated copper wire. The sound is bright, clear. But still has little bass. - this white one I modified from a Sony On ear case. The driver is from Ath on ear also not sure model. Their sound is very good. - koss ksc35 just changed the silver wire to make the sound softer. - koss ksc75 I changed the driver from sony wh xm5. The ranges are full. Lots of bass, lots of mid. Sparkling treble. This is one of my favorites in this bunch. - panasonic Hz22. The sound is extremely airy, but has little bass. - pioneer se-e03. This is a headphone without bass. They even lack 120hz frequencies. But when wearing them and listening, the sound is like coming from hell. - a product mod by my stubbornness, a broken JVC case combined with ath ad500x 53mm driver. They sound very good. Full bass. - ath eq300m nothing special in sound. - ath eq3. Sound is also nothing special. - Jvc unknown model. They are very cheap but sound very good. But still lack bass. - Ath em9r, they cost 250$ but the sound is not commensurate. Bass is lacking, mids are harsh. High range is not much. This is a waste of money.
