Proof that the HD25 are vey though..   Went into a moshpit with them around my neck, They survived,.   I barely did  

  Japanese peeps even makes hologram-concerts awesome 

Spotted a dude using the HD650s as portables.. Anyone from Groningen (Netherlands) here? 

Did you tried a different amp/source already? 

Shpongle - Devine Moments of Truth... Awesome music,.   Any psychedelic ambient (especially from the artists from the Ultimae label: Solar Fields, Carbon based Lifeforms etc etc) sound really really really gooood on the HD650s. Smooth, bassy and holographic.

^ Great picture!    Can I ask you from who you bought the LF 339? From Yuking/audiophilechina/ebay/others and how much did you paid for it included shipping? (and taxes, what worries me, its really big which makes importing quite expensive I think)   The 339 fits me perfect, dual volume...

    Quote:     Quote: Strange,.. My HD650 definitely have notches (on my HD650s both sides are 5 notches down ) and also do have a swivel mechanism. The swivel mechanism can turn around for about 20~30 degrees each way without bending the headband.   Good review btw! Never...

MP4nations kind of sucks with delivery from my experience. I waited 2~3 months (!) to receive a mp4 player from them :|

I found that the AD700s soundstage is larger but lack in realness. The HD650s soundstage is imo better in terms of layering and realness, Its more 'holographic', the AD700s don't layer the music as much, music just sounds far away.   This is running both headphones unamped straight out of my...

Shekel is very nasty dubstep   

Sorry if i sounded a bit rude, but it seemed to me that you didnt read my post: "Asking a question about unamping HD 650's is just a waste of your time and money"  Its not a waste of money and time because I already did plan on buying a headphone amp. I figured that out before I even bought the...

1. Earth Song 2. Heal the World 3. Thriller

^ thanks, thats what I wanted to hear!   How is the bass amped compared to your HD25? I like my HD25 bass, little bit less quantity would be fine though. How much does the quantity increase if you switch from your STX headphone out/cowon to your asgard?

^ I have done my research, and I DO PLAN on buying a headphone amp, like I have said already.... please read before you post...   Im asking if the bass quantity improves with an amp. Right now they have just a tad more bass then the AD700s, which are very bass light. And I still prefer the...

Hello Headfi,   Im currently running my HD650 unamped, straight out my DAC (musiland SVDAC06). I have read that the HD650s needs some serious desktop equipment to shine (im planning on a Lafigaro 339, or even balanced with LD MKVI), but I still love the whole thing even unamped. But one...

I dont own any portable headphones besides the HD25, but these little phones are indestructible. Im not afraid taking them outside, drop them on the floor, play soccer with them, use them in the rain, etc etc. They still look like new even after all this abuse. They sound very good too, and nice...

Was looking for some $40 portable headphones, I thought I was crazy buying such expensive headphones... Never got them and ended up with the AD700s, some random DAC, Thinksound Rains, Sennheiser HD25II and 1 week ago the HD650.... but never regretted it a single bit!   I have spend ~26 times...

Inception's Time   I had 6 eargasm's listening to this track, my god. every big piano note thing brought shivers trough my body.

The fiio is imo not that much of an amp.. found that its more a bass boost EQ/volume booster device then a a true amp.   And even then, synergy between components plays a role too, but haven't heard the UE's so can't comment on that.

Currently being AMAZED by Solar Fields with the HD650s.. really amazing. Holographic is the way I would describe it   Turns out that Solar Fields actually uses the HD650 for production

What kind of music are you listening too?   I just upgraded from the AD700s to the HD650s, currently unamped, and I find that the HD650 is much better in the jazz/classical area, and other genres do fine too (including metal).   Quote: The little bit more bass unamped is there. The...

How are these 'phones if you don't use an amp at all?   Lookin' forward to the tube comparisons.

For some reason it reminds me of a modern, minimalistic old locomotive..   But still very sleek at the same time.

Ive listened to them. Got to say, really good for the price but are not better then my AD700s. Bit more bass, less soundstage and for some reason i found the sound a bit 'off' . Not as refined as the AD700s.   but for the price, they are really really good.

  Quote:dallan Ive done my research(and then i mean, 100s of hours of reading headfi ). Im getting the HD650s as a gift for my birthday (this sunday, 18 years!) I thought my Birthday was a good opportunity to start my upgrade tour.
