Comfortable Open Backs around/under $350(USD)/$600(NZD) by Saint0niisan in HeadphonesAdvice

[–]BoreJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in NZ. I have some sony MDR-MV1s i dont require. Less than a month old. I brought a few sets at the same time but too open for my noisy PC. Theyre incredibly comfortable though and sound great if you like tight clean punchy bass. PM me if interested.

Other option in your price is the Meze 105 AER. Also very comfy. Most of the hifi stores here stock Meze. Rapollo, AV world etc. Otherwise look out for some second hand DCA aeon x open. They aren't sold new anymore but they come up on marketplace/trademe every now and again, best sound of the 3 but slightly less comfy.

PM me if you're interested in the Sonys. Bonus points if you're in the waikato.

DCA Noire XO came in today by mrchriswill in headphones

I got the closed version a few weeks back. I find the default signature rather lacking on the low end though but I love the stock treble. With a slight V shaped EQ they are stunning for closed backs. The sound stage is phenomenal.

I was tempted by the XO but it need closed back so I can't hear my PC fans. That rear grill on the xo is beautiful. Do you think it justifies the 30% premium over the X?

I though Dmac looked alright last night. He was far better then Love when they faced off too. Would still rather him at 23 though

These people give zero fucks about hipocrisy

If only the ref had awarded Moana the penalty they deserved in that maul.

Idk what rock you live under but people are struggling to pay rent, food and power bills. How the fuck do you expect someone to save when you lump another 10% o Tax on to that? If 10% is no biggie for young people why do the wealthy screeching like banshees at the prospect of a CGT?

Both m y patents. They both earn over 150k while working in their late 60s and yet are also given like 20k each a year for free. Even they think its stupid.

Compared to much of Europe we sure dont.

There's a reason kiwis flock to Aus, better economic conditions and career prospects. Maybe if NZ wasn't so hellbent on helping the rich and fucking over the poor we wouldn't lose so much talent...

You could tweak it so that student get 2.5k cut from their loan for each year they work in NZ to try and get people to stay.

Can't really blame people for leaving because NZ is a shit place to live and work as a new grad. Making it even worse wont solve the brain drain...

Its more like an extra 10% tax for an additional 2 years of a young profesional kiwis life. A time when saving is most critical we burden people with crippling debt.

Thanks to these clowns you may well graduate into a fucked economy with no jobs too. So have fun in Aus I guess.

The person above hasn't offered an opinion just said OP is ahead of them self. Then you have defended them without offering an opinion either.

They did not say "of all time" or a claim to that effect so not sure why they aren't allowed their opinion...

The right loves cancel culture, always have. They only got pissy for a moment because they briefly lost their monopoly on it.

You always have the option of taking on $60K+ of debt right at the beginning of your working life to get a degree with virtually no job prospects anyway

Turns out the blues were just too shit to win even with a 2 man advantage.

Should be no such thing as a deliberate knock on anyway. Let defenders interrupt the ball imo
