I am not happy with the headsix and my K701's. At first I was, but after a few months went by, I feel that the 701's just need more power. I use the headsix with my ER6i's and think it is a perfect combo. It gives then the added bass boost and I coundn't be happier with this combo.
I guess I will have to get something with more power for my K701's, maybe a desk amp.
yea k701s aren't really what it was made for. Did you try changing the gain? If you like the er6i you should try the er4p or er4s with an amp
This is an update for switching from high gain to low gain
I did what you had indicated - "Open the amp by unscrewing the tiny screws - be careful not to strip the heads - and slide it out. There should be a jumper there connecting 2 pins together (maybe 2 jumpers, connecting 2 pins each). Just disconnect them by having the jumper being only on one pin."
There actually 2 connectors each having it's own jumper. I diconnected 1 leaving the other intact, but what happend was the sound was more pronouced which ever side the jumper was on. So I finally just disconnected both and the sound balanced out.
Lol, of course, the jumpers are for the left and right channel, respectively.
With "one pin" the original poster meant you don't remove the jumpers completely from the Headsix, but put them in a way on the pins so they don't bridge the contact.
I've been listening to my D2 through my Headsix and a set of MS-2i's for a few months now and am quite happy. Happy enough to quit looking for more gear and just get down and listen to music. I even use the amp between the D2 and my car stereo (Really nice bass boost).
The only issues are: the crunchy pot (OK when I'm not moving it, though) and the placement of the LED almost under the volume knob. I've run through a few batteries by inadvertantly leaving the amp on. If the LED were more visible this might not happen.
Don't get me wrong....I'm very happy.

Is anyone using the PX100 with the Headsix and if so, what did you think?
I don't listen to my PX100 much anymore, after switching back to KSC-35 (transplanted onto a cheap headband). However, the HeadSix and PX100 do get along well, and the HeadSix makes the PX100 sound better.

Agreed. I'm listening to my PX-100s right now on the headsix. The bass is tighter with a nice, deeper "belly" on it, the mids are more controled and the headstage seems more expansive. I listen to these as my "portable" set and have had them for years. I just haven't found anything that matches the portability, price and SQ in a headphone. They fit right into the slot between my isolating ER6i's and my sweet, sweet, sweet MS-2i's

Does anyone have a picture of the two jumpers correctly installed on the pins? Upon receiving my Headsix I immediately removed the jumpers, as I listen mostly with uber-efficient E500s. Now I'm thinking I occasionally might like to plug in my Senn 450SLs which need the added gain. But I can't remember what goes where and the drawing that comes with the amp is not helping.
