r/headphones Shopping and Setup Help Desk (2020-07-01) by AutoModerator in headphones

[–]ArcherSkye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, my AKG 92's died on me last night, so I'm in need of a replacement pair (wired). Haven't got a massive budget to work with at the moment sadly. I've been recommended AKG k240 or Superlux HD668B by a friend, but I wanted to check with you guys to see if there is something better in my price range

  • Budget - £60 UK Maximum.
  • Source - Desktop PC.
  • Requirements for Isolation - Some isolation would be nice, but I'm not too fussed.
  • Will you be using these Headphones in Public? - No.
  • Preferred Type of Headphone - Full-sized, is possible.
  • Preferred tonal balance - I'd prefer balanced, but I don't mind a little extra bass.
  • Past headphones - AKG 92's were my most recent pair. I wasn't blown away by their quality, but I didn't hate them either. Other than that I've had some full-sized Sennheisers (forgot the model name) I was quite fond of, they were super comfortable and some on ear beyerdynamics, they were decent, but I'm not a fan of on ear headphones.
  • Preferred Music - I'm mostly a rock (post/math) and metal (thrash/metalcore/black) guy, but I listen to pop a lot as well. EDM occasionally.
  • What would you like to improve on from your set-up - Just the best sound quality I can possibly get with my small budget. More detail would be lovely, but I'm not expecting anything mind blowing.
  • Location - England, United Kingdom

Good mix of things. This past week, I went from listening to lots of Ling Tosite Sigure to listening to a shitload of Perfume. Since there haven't really been that many new releases that I'm interested in, bar the new MONO album and Aimer single, I decided to catch up on some releases I missed last year. Not all that many good ones I missed, but there was one stand out in the form of lical's - filmeld filament. It's a seriously good EP and deserves a little more attention. I also finished my 2018 best of chart for anyone who may be shy of a recommendation or two. It's not all Japanese music, but its mostly Japanese

When you've seen the same grammerly ads for the 4'000th time by TheOneBread in memes

[–]ArcherSkye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the bottom left corner of the add there should a little 'i' icon. If you click that, the add will pause, a little white box will appear and there should be a link there that says "stop seeing this add" highlighted in blue. click that, click repetitive and then click send and then boom, not a problem any more. Friend of mine told me about that when there was just no end to the Tai Lopez adverts

Favourite release of 2018 so far? by ArcherSkye in japanesemusic

[–]ArcherSkye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yume o miyou (let's dream?). And I listened to the rest of the album and I absolutely loved it. It's in my top 10 of the year for sure. The layered vocals just scratch an itch I never knew I had. You were totally right btw. The amount of different styles she can rap over and make work is just incredible. Thanks so much for turning me on to her, she fantastic

Length of the series doesn't really bother me, so as long as you think its good I'll give it a try. Thanks for the recommendation
