If I knew I would get a tangible benefit from doing so, I would buy them. The problem is that- to my understanding the sound quality does not really improve beyond this price point. The HD800s sound slightly different but not strictly better or worse, so its hard to justify.robocop wrote: Tue Mar 31, 2020 6:32 pm Awesome. I’m going to upgrade to the hd 800 after I get some stuff paid off.Yeah right...

Re: Polaris Appreciation Post
Do you like any earbuds? Sometimes I use some for the convenience. That is the probably the cheapest I have, jlabs or some crap? It works, they are waterproof.AAAAAAAAAA wrote: Tue Mar 31, 2020 10:54 pmIf I knew I would get a tangible benefit from doing so, I would buy them.

I forgot to tell you that I have the Sennheiser $100 ones that I originally had. Put those on after I got my new ones and I was blown away. Just make sure there’s a headphone amp for the 650.
Re: Polaris Appreciation Post
Getting them was only convenient for me because I got a payment plan somehow with a credit card from a music company with 0 interest for 2 years, some shit like that. I am broke as fuck.NeverendingAbyss wrote: Tue Mar 31, 2020 6:46 pm I was hesitating on spending $80 for headphones. $300 is just way over my non-existing budget.
I bet it sounds orgasmic, though.
Anyway, some people might not even have an ear for things and cheap ones are all you need. There was another reason why I got them, it was to try to make better sounding music.

Re: Polaris Appreciation Post
Actually no I don't know much about earbuds. I buy 10 or $15 junk and usually go through at least two per month. I either lose them or they break or get faulty in one ear.robocop wrote: Tue Mar 31, 2020 11:00 pmDo you like any earbuds? Sometimes I use some for the convenience.

yeah I also had other Sennheiser headphones, I think I had the HD 518 before. It was also outstanding but the 650 is better.
I also had Audio-Technica M50, which is highly rated but it's total crap compared to the Sennheiser. It sounded too bright for me and also was not very comfortable to wear.
Disclaimer, I also have some beats studio headphones that I almost never use.

Sometimes I stay up for two days and drink pots and pots of coffee and buy stupid crap.AAAAAAAAAA wrote: Wed Apr 01, 2020 7:44 am

I’ll get it paid off, don’t you worry. Corona stimulus, my man!
Ps
I also bought a $2k drumkit.
Edit:
This was before all the madness I ordered stuff. With the stimulus I know it’s for essential things.

Emancipation suite part II is mindblowing <3

I wish there was a vinyl mix that they had for deep unknown but for the whole album.
