Thanks guy, that helps a lot. It's not always easy to look past the first impression, but i guess i'll give it a try ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hello there, Some days ago, i bought a pair of sennheiser hd630vb to be able to listen to music while i'm out, and for watching movies. When i came home and plugged them for the first time, i have to say the disappointement was immense, and i was quite confused. All i was hearing were mids...

Thank you for the update Clownzor.

Well, sounds good to me. Thanks for the info chaps.

  Hello : )   I already hear some of you, at the mere sight of the title, shouting and crying, saying that you don't buy 600€ to use them unamped, that a mobile phone will sound better, that i should burn in the fires of hell. Please read (a bit) further (or just skip the post and read the...

Also interested in this, as one of these will most likely be replacing my DT770

Quote: I have tested the Essence STX with DT770-80, Beyer DT-150/250, AKG 601, Sennheiser HD650 and it worked great with all of them. That's good to know, thanks. Were you near to the max in order to have a decent volume ? Quote: Look at Alessandro for reasonably prices...

Quote: You can try the K701 or the RS-1. As i stated before, as much as i'd like a grado, that's not an option, since they're sold at grotesque prices ( 700/800€ ) in France. Concerning the k701, FWIR it may not have enough bass. I want less bass, but i still want some . Plus i'm not...

Jesus christ that was fast Thanks a bunch

Greetings I recently got my hand ( through a friend, that doesn't know the source either ) on a very good sounding version of the wall, by pink floyd, but i have no idea what the source is. And here's where it gets odd : the full album is a little bit more than 4.1 GB ( ! ), is encoded in 24...

Hello there, first post on head-fi ( although i'm reading the forum for a little while now ). As the title says, i was wondering what would be the best cans to couple with an essence stx, but avoiding overkill. I don't see any point buying headphones that are worth half a kidney if my...
