From the FS forum? damn good deal. No idea how long they last though.
Here is another artists I came across recently, this guy is out of the Northwest, Oregon I think. He calls himself Bluetech. Very nice stuff.
My brain would unhinge itself from two conflicting counter-imperatives, and I would become comatose.
If I had to pick only one....it would probably be HE-6....presuming I could keep my EQ with it to make it laid back when I want it to be. Otherwise I'd have to pick based on if I wanted to keep the one better for prolonged listening or the one better to reproduce a concert one CD at a time
interesting point, Mr Crazy
I remember someone mentioned before that the he-6 responds so well with eq to the point that with the right tweaking you can have it mimic the sig of Grado or he 400/500.
I haven't had a chance to listen to fully powered he-6 or eq it a lot. Have you successful tried to eq it mimic the sound of he400 and hd 650 ?
The hd 650 responds well with amp changing but not so much with eq and I don't like the idea to own several headphones since no matter how much I love them I only have a pair of ears and a small wallet

xzobinx i am in the same league as yours.
But maybe a nice extra pair of Koss Pro DJ100 or similar won't be bad ,won't it be?
I tried a bunch of my normal "test" songs, but a while later I tried this (flac, no turntable for my vinyl , and I see what the 650's are about. wow.
I a-b'ed with my d5k's it is similar, but the acoustics don't have that breath and life that the 650's. For the 650s not being overly "bright" they sure as hell project 12 strings nice.Might just have to sell the 5k's omg and I love low end!
I hear you.
I've come to the same conclusion as well.
The thing about the HD650 that makes is magical to me is that it is detailed... but not too analytical.
The HD800 and HifiMans are very, very good. In fact they are probably better headphones than the HD650. No wait - they are better headphones.
But the thing is that they are SO good that they tend to pick apart the music into tiny, tiny molecules.
Something that the artist just intended to be a "wall of sound" now becomes a bling there, a bleep there, a hiss there.
It can all become very fatiguing when I'm not in the mood for analytical listening.
Which is when I return to my trusty HD650s and just enjoy the music.
Sit back, relax, let your worries disappear - isn't that what music is all about?
