    Production Cost of the HD 650 vs Beats

    Thanks for all the good info! I do believe beats are just marketed better to the average consumer. It's the highest priced item in the store so it must be the best. The average consumer doesn't want to go online and do research to find better headphones. They want them to look fashionable and be...

    Production Cost of the HD 650 vs Beats

    Recently I was discussing with my friend how crappy beats headphones are. I came across this article that breaks down the beats headphones and gets an idea of the cost of production. I was wondering how that compare to some of the other headphones I have used. I googled but had no luck finding...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    ha, I really enjoy the sound of the hd 650. I heard the 600 lack some of the bass that the 650 have. I like my base. It unfortunate the hd 700, and hd 800, sound so different than the previous versions.

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    Does anyone have an upgrade for the HD 650, other then the LCD-2? I'm looking for something like the hd 650 but more controlled bass and non recessed mid range. LCD are just to heavy for me even though I love the sound and think it would be the best upgrade headphone. Thanks. budget 1500ish.

    Lets make the HD650 sound like the LCD-2?

    I'm looking for an amp/dac combo that would bring out the best in the HD 650. I loved the LCD2 sound, it seemed like a super powered hd 650. However I just couldn't stand the weight. What will give me those crystal clear mids, and tight bass with weight to it that the LCD 2 had? Budget is...

    Best headphone like LCD 2 without the weight?

    I think the best way to describe it was that with the LCD2 I felt like I was there. Every other headphone I have tried It felt like I was listening to headphones. Maybe it was the fact LCD2 is angled so it feels like the music is coming from in front of you rather then from the side. I guess...

    Best headphone like LCD 2 without the weight?

    I had the hd 650 for a long time but I never thought you had that organic sound that the LCD 2 had. Is there maybe a solid amp that would help give them that sound? I was running them on a Little Dot Mk III.

    Best headphone like LCD 2 without the weight?

    So I loved the LCD 2 so so much but I just couldn't take the weight. I have tried the HE-400, and 500 but they are nothing compared to the LCD2. Is there any headphone that is lightweight but sounds like the LCD2. I know the static omega MKII sounds pretty good, but I'm a little hesitant to...

    Basic dac questions 96/24 to 16/44.1

    Thanks I was pretty sure they all did 16/44.1 but I just wanted to make sure! I'll do a search on how the audio-Gd compares to the others I listed above.

    Basic dac questions 96/24 to 16/44.1

    I have been searching through a lot of dacs because I'm about to purchase my first expensive $1000 range dac. A lot of them say 96/24 but don't include any other sample/bitrate. Is it safe to assume all dacs support anything below what they say is their top sample/bitrate? I just want to make...

    What dac? Laptop optical out >> ??? >>> woo audio wa6 SE >> hd 650

    A little late on the reply but I was looking for a dac that would not add anything to the sound. It does not need to have a USB out, just a optical out, and i do not need it to be balanced. I could hardly tell the difference with my little dot dac 1 on my headphones. When I used it with my...

    What dac? Laptop optical out >> ??? >>> woo audio wa6 SE >> hd 650

    Any thoughts on what would be a good dac for my combination? I owned a little dot dac 1 but it just did not seem to bring out the best in my headphones. I would not say the sky is the limit for price but I want to get something that will do justice to my woo audio amp. Any help is appreciated.
