    HD600 Size closed back Headphones

    Hello everyone. I haven't been here for quite some time. A bit back i got myself HD600's and haven't had to look for headphones ever since. I stopped worrying about it and am just enjoying my Headphones. Now, a bit of a "Problem" came up. I use my HD600's for everything. One of the Problems is...

    Need confirmation: HM5 Pads on DT770 Pro

    I'd like to change them becuase the stock pads are just a tag to slim for me. My ears touch the drivers slightly. That can irritate my ears after two or three hours of usage. Additionally i'd hope to increase isolation a bit with the leather pads compared to the stock velours ones. And yes, i'm...

    Need confirmation: HM5 Pads on DT770 Pro

    Hi, It just came to my attention, that the HM5 replacement Pads should fit my DT770 Pro's. If that's correct, i might save on buying new headphones. So can anyone confirm that the HM5 Memory Foam replacement Pads in leather and velours do actually fit the 770? Also, how do they compare...

    Isolating HD600

    Hey everyone, hope you're having a great day. Haven't been here for some time (after getting my HD600 and having reached my endgame there). TL,DR: Over-Ear Headphone with great isolation and HD600 fit/size up to 100$. Sonics not important, but i'd prefer neutral to warm (Beyer or Sennheiser...

    HD Tracks is so bad.

    Having read most of the thread, i can relate to most of you. Yes, i also have some HDTracks albums that are less than stellar. I switched my buying habbits completely. First, after the divide desaster, i throw on Spotify and give the album a quick listen for major production mistakes. Would have...

    Is there *really* an audible difference between different DACs?

    So, you are saying that a different USB cable from your pc to your dac sounds different? How would that be technically possible? I'm not trying to offend anyone but that's in the same area as 1000$ hdmi cables. It's a digital connection. it works or it doesn't. There can be no differences in...

    Is there *really* an audible difference between different DACs?

    Except we're not talking about 720p to 4k. More like 4k to 4k HDR which is much more subtle. Depending on Source Material, player and TV the difference is there, but for some it's night and day, for others more subtle and even others feel its "oversaturated and eyecandy". Especially with Audio...

    Is there *really* an audible difference between different DACs?

    I won't disagree that some reviewers aren't that great. But some do understand, that sound is personal. The way something sounds to you has as much to do with you ears and hearing as with the environment you're in. Especially when we're talking midrange and up differences can be so miniscule...

    dac for hidizs ap60

    Although you don't want opinions, here's one anyways: How are you going to connect the DAC? I'm not sure this player supports USB Host mode... Also, for 150 i don't think there is a DC thats 1. portable enough and 2. an improvement over the internal one. This player already has a good DAC...

    Some recommendations for Operas/Baroque/Piano Pieces

    So, my latest trip to the library brought some of the basic operas home. Basically, i googled for "the best operas of all time" or such, grabbed a list and looked at what they had. - La Bohéme - Turandot - l'Orfeo - Gulio Caesar - Don Giovanni - Le Nozze di Figaro I also brought home a...

    Planing to order the SMSL M6, any alternatives?

    Thanks for the input. It's highly appreciated! WIth the Magni/Modi combo i thought about skipping the later upgrade... Not quite as good as a jot or mojo, but as you've said, better headphones might be the first priority. The Magni Modi might enable me to hold out the Upgrade a bit longer. Also...

    SMSL M6 vs M7

    Looking into those myself. The M7 only puts out 30mW at 300Ohm. Thats quarter of what the M6 does. You gain DSD and the "ultra high-res" 24/768 resolutions. Since i have HD600's and all of my music is 16/44.1, i feel the M7 would be a downgrade over the M6 for my usecase. The Schiit stack sure...

    Planing to order the SMSL M6, any alternatives?

    So, today i'm going to buy a new Amp/(DAC). I need an Amp fo rmy HD600's. Something to "hold me over" until christmas when either the Jot or the Hugo will be the options. After much research the SMSL M6 looks like a great temporary solution. I only really need an amp. My Cheapish audiointerface...

    Physical Media Or Download.

    If i buy (instead of streaming) i go with Digital only, if it's cheaper than CD. I like Bandcamp, as the artists keep more money. Most Releases are also cheaper than physical media. If it's the same price or more expensive, i go with the CD for the physical backup.

    Bandcamp WAV vs FLAC

    Yeah, realized that too. I just kept Joey Landreth's whisky as Wav because it's awesome ;) I'm generally using MediaMonkey for Tagging. Had no Problem with the Wav files.

    Bandcamp WAV vs FLAC

    I just started purchasing some Albums on Bandcamp. I downloaded FLAC and WAV for testing. WAV comes out to (foobar) 1400kbps, Flac "only" 1000kbps. I'm not really sure if there is a difference there since flac is supposed to be lossless. The main question is, since WAV doesn't support tagging...

    DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread

    I could use some specific information on Connector and Cable sizes. I'm planing to do a new cable for my HD600. The connectors for the cups seem to only be available from china (if anyone has a source in Europe, i'd be really glad). They are only 4 bucks a pair, so i'll order 3 or 4 From Ebay...

    Is there a Windows Application for Output Device Switching?

    Ok, feeling dumb for not having thought about that before. I'm a heavy User of Autohotkey. It can do all of what i need. In case anyone wants to use it, here is the Script i came up with: ^+1:: Run, mmsys.cpl WinWait,Sound ; Change to the Window Title of Sound Devices...

    Is there a Windows Application for Output Device Switching?

    I know that windows itself handles this, but i find it rather cumbersome to do. I have varying output devices for different Use cases - USB Device for General music - Headphone out on Mainboard for a specific game - Line Output on Mainboard for Speakers - A Second USB Device for Recording and...

    Noob audiophile on a quest

    I can vote for that too. I have my HD600 for a month now. It totally changed how i hear my other cans (mainly beyers). Plus it redifined Comfort for me. I thought the DT770 was comfortable. Man was i wrong. Especially at the used prices this is my first recommendation for anyone starting to get...

    Advice welcome on what to order

    My personal opinion without specific recommendation: It's not about what you listen to more, but how you listen to it. I too spend twice the time listening mobile. But since i'm on the go, driving or walking, i'm not that focused on the sound. At home though, i specifically sit down to listen to...

    HD 600 with ModMic?

    I had Problems getting it to stick on the Grill. I tested it for a day. Soundquality was really sub par. Levels where really low and high amount of noise. I returned it and got myself the blue snowball. Cheaper, more comfortable and way better sound quality.

    Help me to choose the right headphones

    Imho: Yes. There are Headphones that produce good low end. But Sub-bass and most Bass frequencys are more "felt than heard" irl. That's something no headphone, no matter how good can do. That's inherent to the fact that it's a headphone. The "Helicopter" effect you were hearing is inherent to...
