Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
I've been putting in 12 hour days with my new HD-600s. I just love them so much. Makes me so happy that I replaced my broken pair I got back in 2005. I've been jumping around to different genres. Went from some Anime Orchestra Soundtrack to Iron Maiden. Everything sounds so good.- satanigatan

The Ultimate HD600 vs HD650 Poll [CLOSED: HD600 Wins!]
I don't think one is clearly better than the other. I've had both the 600 and 650 multiple times. The 600 has always won out for me. Not for any big reason, but I found the bass in the 650 to be a little too much for my liking. Which isn't saying much, because it's not really that much at all...- satanigatan

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
Oh jeez. Yeah I'm using iTunes and it's set to 100% volume. I then adjust the knob of my Schiit Lyr. Should I have the iTunes volume set lower? EDIT: To be clear, I don't have my Lyr cranked all the way up. Because the iTunes volume is set so high, I barely crank it up on the knob. I guess...- satanigatan

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
I just tried 5 Cm Per Second's soundtrack (it's an Anime OVA). The soundtrack is almost all quiet piano. Aaaand no crackle. Must have just been the other recordings. Both crackles happened on a Miyazaki soundtrack and the Girl who Leapt Through Time soundtrack. Must have just been distorted...- satanigatan

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
I recently bought new HD-600. After a lot of soul searching, I decided that my HD-600's were the best headphones I ever owned. My old 600's broke during a move (so sad). Anyways, the new ones are fantastic. I forgot how tight the headband and the clamp is. My old 600's were easily the most...- satanigatan

Shure SE535: Reviews and First Impressions Thread
Yeah, this actually was the problem I had the first week I had them. Once I got a good fit, it really change the sound drastically. But I think more than anything, I've just gotten used to the sound signature.- satanigatan

Shure SE535: Reviews and First Impressions Thread
It might just be a mental thing, but I've found that my SE-535s have really mellowed out after having for 2 weeks. I mean that in a good way. I don't hear any harshness, or shrillness in the highs that I heard when I first have them. I just love the overall sound signature on these. Kind of...- satanigatan

Shure SE535: Reviews and First Impressions Thread
I plan on getting custom IEM's when I get some time. Probably after this semester of college. Will definitely get JH13. I'm happy with the SE-535 for now. But I know the JH IEMs are loved. Definitely interested.- satanigatan

Shure SE535: Reviews and First Impressions Thread
Thanks for the impressions guys. I'm really in love with these SE-535s. Easily my favorite way to listen to music at this point (really glad I switched from full cans to IEMs). I wouldn't mind more bass, so the 846 sounds like a worthy upgrade. I just don't like when the bass is bloated/flabby...- satanigatan

Shure SE535: Reviews and First Impressions Thread
How are the SE-846 in comparison to the SE-535? I'm going to wait until January 2014 to get them. But I was wondering if there is a big jump in sound signature from the SE-535. Or if they are more of the same, just with some improvements?- satanigatan

Shure SE535: Reviews and First Impressions Thread
Schiit Lyr/Bifrost combo. I actually ended up liking the SE-535 more. Well, I think so. I've been using them a lot more. It's just really hard for me to go back to the 4R, because it sounds to me like the 4R has a veil over it. Like a thick layer. I know that's not the case. Having had...- satanigatan

Shure SE535: Reviews and First Impressions Thread
I got the Fiio cable for the SE-535. I plan on getting a better cable next pay check, but it was only $29. I can't speak for the sound, it sounds exactly the same as the stock cable (in my mind, it sounds a little tighter). But that could be the placebo effect. Anyways, the big difference is...- satanigatan

Shure SE535: Reviews and First Impressions Thread
Interesting. Thanks for the reply guys. For some reason I prefer the yellow foam tips the most (for comfort) - but not sure I like the sound. I actually own the Westone 4R's and tried the star tips on there too. Guess I'll just keep messing around with them. For some reason the black foam tips...- satanigatan

Shure SE535: Reviews and First Impressions Thread
I know this is completely different for everyone (due to ear size being different), but what tips did you guys have the most success with? The stock tips (that were on it out of the box), made them sound shrill and anemic. I THINK it sounds much better now that I'm using the olive shaped ones...- satanigatan

Westone 4 Impressions and Reviews Thread
Got my SE-535's in. Yikes, what a massive change in sound from the Westone 4R's. (If you missed my earlier post, I got both IEM's to try them out at the same time). The SE-535 sounds kind of thin, shrill and sharp. It has a lot of detail, and is quick as hell. But at least for my ears, these are...- satanigatan

Westone 4 Impressions and Reviews Thread
I'll try them out tonight without wrapping around my ear. One thing I love about the 4R is they fit really nice in my ears. I always had trouble with the Shure IEMs fitting in my ear, and when I did, they were get irritated after 40 minutes. These star tips + the smaller size of the 4R makes for...- satanigatan

Westone 4 Impressions and Reviews Thread
I was actually looking at this!. The only thing is, these don't have the bendable parts at the top (to wrap around your ear). Do you guys generally like cables without that? I'm coming from Shure IEM's where that is the design, so I'm kind of used to it. I guess I should just try my R4...- satanigatan

Is there a recommended cable upgrade for the 4R? I don't really want to spend more than $150. Although I will if there is really an improvement in sound. I actually really like the stock cables though.- satanigatan

Westone 4 Impressions and Reviews Thread
I have sensitive ears, especially to treble, sibilance etc. I was drawn to the Westone 4R due to the description that it's very balanced and yet with a lot of detail. I made the jump from full headphones to IEM's recently. My first IEM was the SE-215 (Shure). I was really considering getting the...- satanigatan

I'll probably end up keeping both. I see the value in both of these sound signatures. Can't wait to try the SE-535. :) Quote:- satanigatan

Shure SE535: Reviews and First Impressions Thread
Okay, it was definitely the seal. I used the tip of my fingers to run along the top of the IEM and they weren't all the way in my ears. I pulled out my IEM and squeezed the foam tips and re-put them in, and now they have sat in my ears properly. They sound much better! :) EDIT: BTW, sorry...- satanigatan

Shure SE535: Reviews and First Impressions Thread
Quote: I agree! I think the HD-650 is full and balanced. What I was saying is, going from the HD-650 which is more full/balanced and the LCD-2 (which is dark), to the 4R (which is more fast/and detailed) - is a big jump for me. That because I'm so used to full sounding headphones, the...- satanigatan

I posted this in the Westone 4 thread. But my SE-535 won't come in until Tuesday. I got the 4R's today. It's a really big jump in sound signature for me (going from the HD-650, LCD-2, and SE-215 IEM). The details on these are simply fantastic. But at least to my ears, it sounds kind of thin.

Westone 4 Impressions and Reviews Thread
Just ordered the Westone 4r and the SE-535. The 535 won't come in until Tuesday, and the 4R came in today. I'm still trying to adjust to the 4R. I know it has a very neutral sound signature, but I'm so used to having more weight to the bass and sound (coming from the HD-650/LCD-2 and the SE-215...- satanigatan

I decided to just try both the 4R + the SE535. Thought it was safer to just try both sound signatures, and see which ones work for me best.- satanigatan
