    Sennheiser Momentum impressions thread

    Quote:   I don't have much to compare them to, since these are my first closed headphones. But I was pretty impressed by how little they leak. At the upper limit of what i consider to be a comfortable listening volume, If I hold them in my hands with my fingers covering the ear-side of...

    Sennheiser Momentum impressions thread

    Got my black Momentums yesterday. Haven't had the time for a serious listening session yet, just a few really short ones, but I'm loving them so far! The signature really is absolutely spot on for me, more so than the HD650s which are my main non-portable cans. The HD650s need some very slight...

    Sennheiser HD 598 Impressions Thread

    Quote: I would so do that as well. I have kind of high hopes though, since the kind of sound signature the 598 have seem to be the thing for Sennheiser's newest open backs. I have listened to the 558 as well and I felt the signature of those was quite similar to the 598. I imagine the 518...

    First Time Listener Considering Sennheiser HD598 - Your Thoughts?

    I can only confirm what these guys have already pointed out. I have owned a pair of HD 598's before and for classical and vocals they really are superb, the soundstage brings that kind of music to life like few other headphones. They are good for rock/metal as well. As for the amount of bass...

    Help on choosing my first amp

    I think the USB-version of the Matrix M-stage should do the trick. From what I've heard the built-in DAC isn't really anything special, but as an amp the M-stage is good for it's price (~$300), and you could always get a better standalone DAC further down the line. I own a non-USB M-stage...

    Got a pair of 558s for my little brother as a christmas present. He seems to be extremely happy with them. First cans he ever owned that cost more than $30

    HRT Music Streamer Alternatives?

    Quote: I have the II+ as well, but I've never encountered that problem. Since you tried it with different sources and with another II+ I am at a loss as to what could be the problem. Sounds like some kind of driver problem is the only thing it could be, or some kind of disagreement between...

    Sennheiser HD-598 Amp necessary?

    As long as they're driven by a dedicated soundcard, and not some on-board nonsense, it should be fine.

    Matrix M-Stage amp review: simple, cheap, and excellent.

    For the price, I think the M-stage is a superb amp. Currently driving my HD650s with one. I'm planning on upgrading to something like a Musical Fidelity M1 as soon as my wallet approves, since I'm not 100% happy with my setup at the moment. But since I got the M-stage for less than $140, I...

    Quote: I would say that and the huge soundstage are the strongest points of those cans!

    Sennheiser HD 598 Impressions Thread

    I miss my old HD598's sometimes. The soundstage really was out of this world! Been doing my best to get the largest possible soundstage out of my HD650s ever since!
