Sennheiser 650 - Dissapointed With Bass - Page 4

@op

when you say "My Headroom Desktop Amp won't turn on, I think its a fuse problem..."
does this mean you are driving them unamped ?

I didnt get an answer to this one either.

You mean the ipod plugged into the hybrid with a solid state output section and then out to your high impedance reference headphones?

The cheap CMOYs do an Ok job for the HD650?

Why of course! If it gets loud enough with that amp, it is definitely sufficient, isn't it?

Just listen to some K701's for a few hours, then switch to the 650's, there will be more bass than you know what do do with.

Perhaps re-read my sig. And you know I was just stirring - After the OP's last response, there's no point in pursuing any answers until the fuse is replaced.

If you're looking for additional bass, maybe you could try some headphones with more emphasized bass. But yeah, most headphones that would emphasize on bass would sacrifice elsewhere in terms of the sound quality.

If you're willing to, I believe the DT770Pro or the Ultrasone Pro 900 would satisfy you in terms of bass. However, I guess they aren't the best sounding all around headphones as some people might put it. Others would disagree, but then again its all personal tastes. Maybe you can go to a store and try something such as these cans and see if it'll satisfy your craves. Yeah, as long as you're satisfied by something, it should be good.

i see, theres our answer then.
im not familiar the Pioneer VSX-9500S
but from my listening experience i've found the hd650
to be rather picky with amps.
amplifiers that have no apparent synergy with them
tend to make them sound dull and lifeless or 'veiled' to me.

and yes maybe you should, good luck with fixing it

lol!
