    Sennheiser HD 650: Silver Dragon v2 vs Blue Dragon vs Black Dragon cables

    I'm looking for a cable to replace my stock cables and I heard good things about Silver, black and blue dragon. I've heard Zu but I'd pass on it for personal preference reasons.   Anyway I've heard equally good reviews for the SD v2 and BD v3 and Black Dragon cable. Which do you recommend in...

    First pair of HD 650s but they sound veiled

    Just got the HD 650s and I love them.  The soundstage blows away my HD 598s outa the water.  The only beef I have with these cans is I can understand how something people say "boring" because right now the sound is decently thick.  Like a veil or just like listening to something behind a wall. ...

    Where can I purchase the Fiio e7/e9 combo for a good deal? (Besides Micca Store)

    I'm looking to buy the combo but I can't buy it off Micca Store.  There system doesn't accept my card or my paypal.  I've even spoken to their customer support and they said that they don't know whats going on and they can't do anything to help.  So I'm looking for another place to buy the combo...

    What closed cans do you recommend from Sennheiser?

    I'm looking for a pair of portable cans that are closed.  But I want something that is $200 or less in the catagory.  I've heard a lot of good things about the HD 280s, 380s, and HD25-1  But I have no chance to demo any of these, so I would like to be able to hear some people talk about there...

    Zu Mobius vs Silver Dragon Vs Equinox for HD 650s

    I'm getting my 650s within a few days and I'm wondering what cable I should upgrade to.  I've heard that upgrading the stock cable does create a cleaner and less-veiled sound, which is what I'm looking for.  I've heard excellent things about the Zu, SD, and Equinox cables, but I still can't...

    Getting my HD 650s in a few days! So excited! What's the best way for me to burn them in?

    I just ordered a pair of the HD 650s with a Fiio e7/e9 combo and I'm just staring at my mailbox like a hawk until it arrives.  When it does what do you guys recommend as a good way to burn them in.  I don't want to spend hundreds of hours doing so, but maybe like 20-30 hours.  Does it matter the...

    Ipod vs S: FLO 2

    I'm curious as to which one to buy for the best possible SQ.  I don't plan on rockboxing or Imoding the ipod because if I get any Ipod it will be the current 7th gen which cannot be rockboxed or modded.  I also heard good things about the S FLO 2.   In terms to best SQ which do you...

    I can't find any website that seems to sell this music player.  Where else can I find this player?

    Do you recommend using a S: FLO 2 with a Fiio e7 or e11 amp?

    I'm thinking about getting the S: FLO 2 DAP for being able to port around my music.  I'm planning on using a pair of HD 650s in the near future with this music player and I was told to use the line out feature on this player.  Do you recommend me using the e7 or e11 amp with the player?  I know...

    Opinions on the Zune music player line and portable amps with it

    I'm thinking about getting a new music player and the Fiio e7 dac/amp to top it off.  I have the Zune 30 halo special ed. and I still love it, but are there newer music players that surpass its SQ?  I was very much curious in getting the zune hd, but do you think the Zune 30 with e7 would have a...

    Questions about the Senn HD 650 sound in regards to amping and cabling

    I've noticed that people are recabling their headphones that have detach cords to buff up the sound.  Do people do that with the HD 650?  I've noticed some phone cables that go as high as 250.  Do people remove the HD 650 cables and put in new ones?  And if they do does it actually change the...

    What specs do you look for in a good quality headphone?

    Whenever I look on the box of headphones, or even here on head-fi I see people compare headphone specs, and I don't know a thing about any of them.  For example, freq. response, sound pressure level, THD, normal impedence, etc   What do all of those mean and what exactly says what is bad or...

    Do my Senn HD 598s need the Fiio e9 with the e7 or will the e7 suffice by itself?

    I know that the 598s need amping, but not as much so my question is will they work by themselves and the Fiio e7 dac/amp or will I benefit more if I use the e7/e9 combo?  Or will the e9 be considered overkill?

    How can I turn my HD 598s into gaming headphones for my Xbox 360 and tv

    The tv I own is quite old.  It was made sometime around 2000-2002.  newer TVs today I'm noticing have a headphone jack on the side, but my CRT tv doesn't.  I wanted to be able to play games on my xbox 360 and use my Senn 598s instead of the tv speakers.  What equipment would I need to do so? ...

    Why are brands like Beats and skullcandy so popular and widely regarded as the "best" headphones?

    I've tried several skullcandy phones, from friends and a display or two.  All I have to say is they feel like something to wear, rather than to listen.  The freq. response on them feels like 100-1000.  Yet, everyone at my college wears them, or unusally shares them with one earbud per person. ...

    I'm buying the Fiio e7/e9 dac+amp combo. Should I upgrade my Sennheiser HD 598 to the Sennheiser HD 650?

    I decided on buying the e7/e9 dac/amp combo from fiio and I also noticed that I can return and upgrade my HD 598s to the HD 650s for about $70.  The question is, should I?  Will my listening experience sound better with the amp'd 598s or 650s?  To round this question out.  My plans are to use...

    New to hi-fi headphones: Do I need a headphone amp for Sennheiser HD 598? If so, what kind do you recommend?

    I just bought a pair of 598 cans and they sound amazing, but they sound super quiet, compared to my Sennheiser HD 212Pro.  At first I was told this could because my 212s have been used for well over 1000 hours and they are broken in quite well as where my 598 have only been used for maybe 3-4...

    Non-Audiophile looking for some help in Headphones: Sennheiser HD 598 Vs. Sennheiser HD 600

    My original and only headphones I've ever used were a pair of 50 dollar Sennheiser HD 212Pro   I was satisfied with these, but they're starting to crackle up because of my constant years of use on them.  I was told that the 598 and 600 would completely blow them outa the water.  Is that true...
