What kind of headphones u ops usin' lately

I've been pretty partial to my Mass x Sennheiser HD 6XXs lately, I have a pair of HD 280s and a pair of Momentum 3s and the HD 280's definitely sound the best for reference, but everything is flat as hell. The Momentums have a programmable EQ and kill it on the noise cancelling, but those are really work and travel bluetooth cans. The 6XXs are HD 650 drivers and parts in a cheaper plastic shell assembled by massdrop, I won them out of a storage closet and they are the poo poo. Beautiful sound.
Open back, though. Also, can't use the 6XXs without an amp powering the drivers.

Edit: on further reference, a lot of people say 6XXs work without an amp. I wouldn't bother trying to make a cellphone power 300Ω drivers though lol

I had a hyper x cloud whatever and it was great until yesterday when the mic died. It lasted about 7 years

I got an astro a40 but it hasn't arrived yet. I wanted one with cat ears but apparently they aren't that good

I've had the same pair of Sennheiser 599s for 10 years and I treat them like poo poo every single day. Hell of a product

I'm scared to have to replace them finally and find out they make the new ones out of tissue paper or something

Lol my job when I got hired reimbursed phone and internet. Then COVID hit and they rolled it in to our paychecks automatically

And now that COVID is over and most people are back in the office, we "don't need it". So say goodbye to $150 a month you've had for a decade+. Just a straight up pay reduction for all employees

I see a lot of skiers and boarders that ski around with giant expensive headphones and just think wow that is a good way to get blind sided by some jerry of the day, or run someone the gently caress over (has happened to me was not pleasant)

I have some sennheiser earbuds, can't even remember which ones at this point, but I never use them cuz my ears don't like buds, even the ones that lock. Those Momentum 3s at EPP price were a lifesaver for work. Plus, the Momentum 3s have really good active noise cancellation, which was great for listening to music and sitting next to a wave soldering machine.

Anyone gonna watch Masters of the Air? Starts on Friday. I'm all in on these spielberg/hanks ww2 series tbh. Band of Brothers and the Pacific were both pretty great.

I had the cursed goon face blindness when I watched the Pacific the first time. All those white dudes in helmets looked the same. Didn't have that problem with BoB though.

planning to watch it with a friend, we’re both huge BoB fans and slogged through the pacific together so we’ve been eagerly anticipating it, knowing full well itll probably be mediocre but heres hoping

The Pacific has its moments and does the battles well an poo poo but 3 main characters who never interact and stories are scattered between episodes makes it a narrative pile of poo poo.
