Sennheiser Amperiors? - Page 50

I like the blue. But both look pretty sharp.

Yes I usually like black also and if they came out with one I'd be really tempted. I'm not sure. When promos first came out I thought the silver looked beautiful but then the blue has a cool sporty look to it. I'd have to see both in person to be sure but I think in the end, I'd probably end up picking the silver and black.

You ok Roma? lol

lol mobile head-fi site freakin' out on me on my iphone this morning. lol either that or the Amperior is just getting me way too AMPED for this thread.

 

LOL

 

I have the HD25-1 ii and while I'm aware there's room for improvement, they have been satisfying. I did get a good deal on them and I preferred to keep the investment lower for the portables knowing that they'll be exposed to lots of different environments. I also like the fact that the parts are replaceable. The HD25-1 ii did come two pairs of ear pads. leatherette (1) and velour (1). I've always liked the comfort of velour.

 

The clamp force is strong so it'll take some time to get them to a comfortable state. I put them on a box to help speed along the break-in process. Believe it or not, these were more comfortable long term than the Koss Portapros! I now know that my ears are not as compatible with 'pads'. Donut shape alleviates any kind of pressure from the stiffer cartilage part of the ear. And for those who are familiar with the L-cush pads, I don't problems with those either.

 

As for style points, I like the Senn over the Beyer.

Blue, all the way for me!  Silver looks kind of boring.  Would be really impressed if they would release a version with blue cups and black anodized aluminum hardware all around!

Do you guys amp your amperiors? :D

 

I run em straight out of my Zen.  They sounds pretty amazing right there.  I personally see no reason to upgrade with such an easy to run can. 

I haven't really noticed a huge difference (if any) between them straight from the iPhone or E17. They're very efficient.

At "half the volume" they're already loud enough to me (depends on the recording, of course, but average speaking...).

Sounds good. Just a couple more weeks of saving up, I might be pulling the trigger for the amperior for my unamped portable and probably retire my hd25. 

I used to use the Leckerton Audio UHA6S Mkii to amp them. Mostly used with an amp, but they did sound good without as well
