Upon initial listening with these buds, I was rather unimpressed as I heard the rather familiar bloated mid-bass, sharp highs, and lack of mids that SKDY's old line carried. Then I realized that...
The VSD1 is the latest in a rather long line of budget in ear monitors including the VC02, GR99, GR02 and others that promises high quality sound for around $50 or so. While I haven’t had...
I tried a few Grado's —didn't like the Grado house sound—, a few Senn's —HD650 left a good impression—, a few lower-end AT's —I thought the AD700 were impressive for the price— and after reading...
In my recent quest for a new set of cans, I took a slight detour into the land of flashy prosumer headphones, in the form of the HK CL. The only reason I tried a pair was the price: half off,...
The Creative Aurvana Live! solved a major problem for me—how to listen to good audio while walking the dog at night. I live near a commercial and bar district in Center City, Philadelphia and I'm...
Given Tyll's comment and Kevin Gilmore's mysterious remark from last year, could this indeed mean that a new electrostatic headphone is on its way?
They asked me for my opinion about that and what I said was that an estat would be lovely, but what was really needed was a flagship dynamic can to go with all those killer multi-kilobuck dynamic headphone amps out there. There is still a bit of cognative dissonance when you buy a $3000 headphone amp and run $500 cans on it. We need a very expensive and versitile (meaning modularly cabled) ultra-high performance dynamic can. I have no idea how seriously they took my comments though.
Sennheiser will come out with a new high-end headphone. It's not going to be the HD-700, and (here's the expanded part) I can't wait. Not only because i can't wait to hear it, but because if they allow you guys to speculate too long we're going to run out of numbers. I'd hate to have to talk about the HD-47000344.
Thanks for the info Tyll. I hope the next flagship model combines the HD600 with the 650's charctaristics. If they could have the detail of the 600's and the lows of the 650's...that would be perfect!

I don't think AKGk701s have the same bass, and darkness of the HD650s, infact its lows are even worst then HD600s.
Let's not go there in this thread - my comment would be that it 1) depends on the system and that 2) the 650s have nasty bass unless used with a nice balanced amp - and then someone would counter that, and this thread would degrade into the same old off topic chaos.
