That's exactly what I want them to be, a counterpart to the senns

I have heard a lot of good things about these cans, but before I pull the trigger, I just want to check once more. How do you all like the m50s? Also how does the sound compare to senns hd600s?

I have decided that i am going to go with the PortaPros for a few reasons. They are pretty portable. They are also very cheap (so even in the event that i don't like them i won't feel bad because I only spent 30 bucks on them). I also heard they sound great with .mp3s and thats what i need them...

hmmmm not a bad choice

Hey guys, I am back after about a year with my sennheiser hd650s and my hifiman2 hybrid amp. (thanks bros they sound so freaking good and I still am rocking them on my home computer.)   Now the time has come for me to buy another pair of headphones, not ones to replace my sennheisers, but...

I have been listening to my hd600s without an amp for about a week now. well I got my amp.....wasn't impressed with the packaging......just a smashed box with the hybrid wrapped up in foam..... I am trying to compare it to with no amp... what does the amp actually do? I "think" it sounds...

I hated that gold color even before I knew skull candies were bad. It's like somebody spray painted them gold

Well turns out yesterday when I purchase my senns hd600 and my hifiman ef2 amp from amazon.. I purchased 2 day shipping so they should come tomorrow (so i thought) problem is that only the senns are coming tomorrow....the amp is coming from asia and won't arrive till next Monday. I would...

ARGGGG my amp won't be coming for a week....my headphones are coming tomorrow............................... Well I guess I will try to burn them the best I can without an amp over the weekend so when I do get the amp the hd600s will sound even better....... but still curse you...

after reading uncle eriks post I am so glad i went with my gut feeling and picked up the hd600s, not the denons or grados

nvm I don't wanna hear anymore about balanced or anything else my wallet has already been hurt enough....

btw what's balanced? balanced as in without bass booster? I think you are so used to the bass from your previous headphones that anything with less bass or in this case completely balanced bass seems to your hears like their is no bass at all. I was trying to choose between the denon 5000 and...
